ENGLAND WILL HURRY
SEARCH OF VESSELS
Detained as Suspected of Carrying
Contraband Goods |
I
LIST OF CARGOES HELD
Recent Improvements in the
Contraband Department of
English Shipping Will Aid
iii "Ms Matter.
London, Jan. f6.?There is every in
dication that the foreign office and admiralty
are inaugurating a vigorous
policy for immediate search and release
of foreign ships suspected of car
rying contraband. In many cases customs
officials have been instructed to
work overtime in getting the contraband
unloaded so the detained vessels
may proceed.
While the Washington protest
against detention of American vessels
doubtless had some effect, the better
mont 111 the situation probably is duo
in largo measure to recent nerfection
, of the contraband department of the
foreign office and to improvement in
the machinery for handling questioned
cargoes. Delays to ships recently
detained are being measured now in
days rather than weeks.
Cargoes Being Held.
The Associated Press is able to give
from official sources the British explanation
concerning the 12 ships canning
American cargoes whose detention
gave rise to the representations to
Great Britain from Washington.
The Arkansas, Danish, was detained
for a complete examination because
she carried consignments believed to
be destined to enimies of Great Britain.
The Canton, Swedish, had on board
copper for the agent of a German firm
Rubber she carried was released as a
courtesy to Sweden, although England
was satisfied it would have been condemned
by a prize-court. The Canton
reached Kirkwall December 2nd, and
was taken to another port for examination
and cleared that port December
f 22nd. The copper was held for a prize
court.
The Virginia, Danish, arrived at
Kirkwall December 24th, and proceeded
to New Castle, where slip discharged
her consignments of rubber which
were placed before the prize court.
She cleared port January 7th.
The Augusta. Swedish, was detained.
December 29th carrying rubber and
aluminum. The aluminum was thrown
into the prize court, but the vessel
was permitted to proceed with the
rubber.
Copper Cargoes Detained.
The New Sweden, Swedish, arrived
at Kirkwall December 22nd, carrying
aluminum, nickle and copper. She
was sent to New Castle and portions
of the cargo under suspicion were unloaded.
The ship proceeded January
9th.
The Kentucky, Danish, arrived at
Kirkwall December 18th and was authorized
to proceed December 20th to
Leith to discharge her cargo of meat,
known to be intended for an enemy of
Great Britain. The Kentucky stranded
in FVazerburgh bay and was floated
December 28th, but because of the
accident and the position of the meat
in the hold, a delay in unloading was
unavoidable.
The Harold was allowed to proceed
with a delay of only a few hours.
The Brindilla, American, formerly
a German tank ship, loaded a cargo
of the interned German ship Excelsior
in the Azores in December. (She
was not detained, but appears subsequently
to have encountered navigation
difficulties and put into Sain Helens
for a pilot.
The John D. Rockefeller arrived at
the Downs December 16th, with a full
cargo of naptha and benzoin for Scan
dinavian ports. She was permitted to
proceed December 24th.
Tnonnli WJ Jt'nivlnnir mif in of
i iiC \/nv[/u t? i & vi\?ii^jr put lit uv
Falmouth, November 22nd and cleared
two days later. No part of her car
go was detained.
Tbe Edward Pierce arrived at Falmouth
December 9th with 3,000 gallons
of vaseline consigned to Copenha1
gen but the ultimate destination of
the vaseline was questioned. She was
permitted to proceed December 11th.
The George Hawley arrived at Falmouth
December 1st with a large consignment
of lubricating oil, the destination
of which was questioned. Because
of the unwillingness of the captain
or owners to discharge the oil,
the ship was held until the end of the
month. Then it was permitted to proceed
with the oil, as a courtesy to the
American embassy.
H. B. Elliott was in Conway one

RANDALL BELLAMY
DIES INSTANTLY
1 After Doing Hard Days Work
and Going Home.
CORONER WAS CALLED
His Death Due to Natural Caus
es and no Foul Play Suspected.
Randall Bellamy, a hard working
and honest colored man, died suddenly
at his home near Homewood last
Friday.
He had done a hard day's work and
had gone to his house to rest. He had
lighted his pipe and it went went out.
As lie started to light the pipe, death
struck him, and he died instantly.
Before his death he had complained
of a dizziness in the head. He was
about GO years of age and well known
to many white people for whom he
worked or with whom he had business
dealings. ,
The coroner, Mr. V. D. Johnson, wrecalled
to the place, hut he did not find
m inquest necessary and issued a p< '
.nit for the burial to take place.
I In Loving Memory of Robert Boyd
Lewis.
The death angel visited the home of
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lewis on October
1st, 1014, and took their son, Robert
Boyd Lewis, awn;, hut the Lord knew
best and called him away from us.
On, how sad it ; to part with our
sumbit to God's will for he never
makes mistakes. His remains were
laid to rest at Poplar Church the
following day by tender loving hands.
The funeral services were conducted
by the pastor, Mr. Phillips. He was
born August 27th, 1891. His life was
short here on earth, but some day we
can go to meet our loved ones where
there will be no mord parting, no
more sorrow and pain. He leaves a
father, mother, three brothers, one
half-brother, three sisters and two
half-sisters and a large circle of
friends and relatives to mourn their
loss, but while we murn we hope it is
his eternal gain. Dear brother, your
place here on earth cannot be filled,
your bright face and precious smiles
are gone, we shall meet him no more
in this world, but we hope to meet
him in Heaven. Sq, brother, your
parting hour came too soon, it was
when life had just begun, your loving
hands and hearts were stilled, God
called you away. Although you are
hidden from our sight, your work
among us here is done, your loving
memory still will live among us here
for years to come. We will miss you,
3ob, as we go to our work along the
road; your unexpected sudden death
brought sorrow to many a home.
Your kind and willing ways won our
love in many ways. We will always
hold you in esteem and think of you
as our dearest brother. We will
mourn the loss of a brother so good
and true; your vacant place is hard
to fill with one so good as you. Sleep
on, dear brother, and take thy rest,
God called you home, He thought it
best; but in your death we understand
/e must submit to GodG's command.
Truly we can say, a loving one from
us is gone, a voice we loved is still, a
place made vacant in our home which
never can be filled. May we all find
a home in Heaven when our earthly
task is done. His Loving Sisters.
Card of Thanks.
We hereby extend our thanks to
the people around Longs for their
kindness and help during the illness
of our father, Lucian Bellamy.

BLEASE CREATED
GREAT SENSATION

ooHi in 1110 iiVyoiyiidiiuii
IT S T R UClT COLUMBIA
The Way it Was Done Was Just
Like Him for the World
Si<id Many.
A news dispatch from Columbia,
last week, bad the following to say
'bout the sensation caused by ihe resignation
of Governor Blcase:
Stirring Scenes.
The resignation of Mr. Blease from}
the Governorship gave rise to stirring
scenes and was the greatest sensation
soon in the Capitol in Columbia in
many years. The ordinary course of
legislation was temporarily brought
to a standstill. The news that the
man who had held the oflice of Govern
or for the last four stormy years had
resigned spread through the State
House and through the city like wildfire.
Newspaper men made a dash
for the telegraph offices and soon the
news of the resignation had been
flashed to papers in all parts of the
State and of the United States.
Before quitting the Governor's office
Mr. Blease brought his clemency
record over the 1,700 mark by freeing
over a score of convicts. They filed
in to the secretary of state's office
signed in red ink prior to noon today.
Governor Smith will have exactly
six days to serve as Governor of South
Carolina. He will give way on next
Tuesday at noon to Mr. Richard I.
Manning, of Sumter, who was chosen
Governor by the people at the election
in November.
In Keeping With His Way.
The startlingness with which Mr.
Blease brought his administration to
an end is in keeping with his dramatic
way. His four years as Governor have
witnessed the overturning of all precedents
and has been one of the most
stormiest and attended by the rry)^
bitterness of any administration since
the days when South Carolina was redeemed
from the Republican misrule
in 1876. Mr. Blease was elected Governor
in 1010 and re-elected in 1912.
The past summer he ran against United
States Senator E. D. Smith for the
Senate, but suffered a crushing defeat
The new Governor has long been
prominent in public life in South Carolina
and has the respect and esteem
of the people. He is a business man
of Timmonsville, in Florence county.
| He served in the House of Representatives
from Klovenre Grmntv nrwl in
1910 was elected Lieutenant Governor
by an overwhelming majority, being
re-elected in 1912 without opposition.
As President of the Senate
Governor Smith won by his impartial
rulings and his fair-mindedness at all
times, and there is general satisfaction
throughout the State that he is
Governor.
In the District Court of the United
States for the Eastern District
of South Carolina.
In the Matter of
Sam T. Creech,
Bankrupt.
To the creditors of Sam T. Creech,
of Loris, in the County of Horry, and
District aforesaid, a bankrupt.
Notice is hereby given that on the
18th day of December 1914 the said
Sam T. Creech was duly adjudged
bankrupt; and that the first meeting
of his creditors will be held at my office
in Marion, S. C., on the 27th day
of January A. D. 1915 at 11:00 o'clock
in the forenoon, at which time the said
creditors may attend, prove their
claims, appoint a trustee, examine the
bankrupt, and transact such other
business as may properly come before
said meeting.

Death of Mr. S. Gillis.
Mr. S. Gillis of Leesville, La., died
at that place on September 28th, 1914
in the prime of life. The interment
took place there attended by many
friends and relatives. He was a man
of genial and kindlv disnosition liked
by all those with whom he came in
contact. He was in his usual pood
health and his death was a shock. He
is survived by his wife, who, before
her marriage, was Miss Ada Owens,
one of this county's fairest young
daughters. She is now residing with
her father, Mr. J. J. Owens of the
Socastee section.
Mrs. E. C. Gilbert of Florence, mother
of Mrs. D. F. Gregg of this city,

BIG WATER TANK
IS NOW FINISHED
Will Supply Ample Water for
Protection Against Fire. j
IT COST MUCH MONEY
Connections Will no Doubt be
Finished and Mains Laid
to Business Blocks.
It is a common remark now to hoar
one say: "I shall wait and make connection
to the town water supply for
sewerage purposes." The reason that
;hc big" steel tank which will hold an
immense quantity of waler, has been
j finished, the men sent here by the
j steel company to do the work having
i finished their job in first class style.
There is not a business man in the
business section of Conway who will
not feel better about fire as soon as
flic mains for this water and connections
and hydrants can be put in, so
as to use the great facilities afforded
by this new improvement. It is understood
that the work of connecting
up the big ta ik with an extensive water
supply system to the business portion
of Conway will be started and
finished as early as may be. Later
the mains will be extended to the
residence sections of the town.
The tank cost quite a sum of money
and it will cost a lot more to lay the
necessary pipes. Conway Lumber Co.,
is under contract to keep this tank
full of water at all times. They can
easily do this. The tank is visible
| from its high position from all points
iiDout the city.
DEATH OF MR. W. T. BENSON.
' Mr. W. T. Benson Died Last Week at
the Burroughs Hospital Here.
Mr. William Benson died January
8th, 1915, at the Burroughs Hospital
after an illness of several days, at
the ago of 48 years, 3 months and 13
days. The funeral services were conI
' *
i ducted Saturday afternoon by ltev. R.
O. Hendricks. His remains were laid
to rest at Cedar Grove cemetery by
sorrowing friends.
Mr. Benson discharged his Christian
duty with fidelity and singleness
of purpose.
While we feel the loss of his pres!
enco in our church and home, we feel
that he has gone to the reward of a
life SDont in His service. He is sur
vived by a wife and ton children, who
will remember him through eternal
ages with tender thoughts. We sincerely
thank Drs. Burroughs and
Scarborough for their kind service.
We also thank the good people of
offerings to his family and assistance
in his burial.
May the Lord bless you all.

MUSIC AT REHOBOTK,
Editor the Herald:?
If you will allow me space in your
valuable columns I will try to give my
experience last Thursday night
near where I was born. I was in the
neighborhood and was asked to go to
the song service, which I did, and I
was surprised and delighted with the
music. I went to a singing school
32 years ago, but the young folks have
got us beat, with I think two, or maybe
more of the older ones to help them
that went when I did. J. M. Lewis
that leads the tenors as he used to,
and F. A. James still helping the
young ladies as he always has in leading
the singing. He is very fine.
Reader.
Death of W. T. Benson.
W. T. Benson died at the Burroughs
Infirmary on Friday, January
8th, after suffering for some time
from paralysis. He lived in the Jordanville
section of this county. He is
survived by his wife and ten children.
The interment took place at Cedar
Grove, the funeral services conducted
by Kev. R. O. Hendricks.

Horry Last Week.
Mr. J. C. Spivey spent two days in
Columbia last week attending a meeting
of the Vice Presidents of the Foreign
Mission Board and a meeting of
the prohibition committees of the
State. Mr. Spivey was asked some
time ago to serve on the State-wide
Prohibition Committee and to represent
Horry County. He at once circulated
over two dozen petitions in the
County asking th<> Legislature to order
an election allowing the people to
vote on State-wide Prohibition, also
to give us, the benefit of the Webb
Law Bill. Mr. Spivey with his helpers
in ihe County were successful in
securing quite a lot of names on the
petitions which he took with him to
Columbia last week.
At this meeting of the Committee
the prohibition bills were prepared
and placed in the hands of Senator H.
B. Carlisle for introduction in the Leg
islature. If these bills are passed the
election will be held on the 14th of
September.
The bill to "Restrict Shipment" will
not permit any person in the State
to have shipped to him more than one
gallon of alcoholic liquor for beverage,
purposes, be it the strongest whiskey
or the mildest beer?just so it contains
1 per cent alcohol. And to get
this one gallon the person desiring it
will have to secure from the clerk of
the court of his county a permit. This
permit must be sent to the house from
which the liquor is ordered and must
be returned pasted on the outside of
the package.
Another provision of the bill is that
the person ordering the liquor must
appear in person to receive it. No
permit will bo issued in any case to a
minor.
It is added that no whiskey shipped
into the State can be kept or
store d in any business place, club
house or club room or anywhere excen!
in the nrivate homo or room of
the purchaser.

Here is a new Ford story we saw
somewhere, but have forgotten just
.vhere . A man in California writes to
;he Ford company and tells them
;hey should feel very much exalted
for the reason that the Ford is the
>nly car mentioned in the Bible and
;o prove it cites them to passage in.
[saah which says: "He went up into
Heaven on high," and asks what other
:ar but u Ford could do that?
