On Jan. 8th,- 1915, the death angel visited us at the Burroughs Hospital and took from us our loving father, W. T. Benson. He was taken sick Dec. 16th but bore his sufferings with patience, leaning on the arms of Jesus and said he was ready and willing to go. H,e was 48 years, 3 months and 13 days old. Ue leaves a widow ten children and a host of friends tc mourn the loss. He joined the Juniner Bav BaDtist Church when about a ^ * 18 years old and later moved to Cedar Grove Church, where he lived a faithful member until his death. He was a loving husband and a kind father and a good neighbor and liked by all who knew him. His remains were laid to rest at Cedar Grove Church in the midst of a host of sorrowing friends. Father, thy task well done, Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy. His Son, Leonard Benson. "HOKKV ORDER IS ILLEGAL f NULL AND VOID I Says Governor Richard i. Wanning and Issues Another Order O'JR NATIONAL GUARD; Disbanded by Gov. Bteasc, Man ning* Says That Order Was Without Effect. A short time before going1 out of office Governor Blease issued an order disbanding tho South Carolina Nation al Guard, the militia companies in the various counties of the State. At first the new governor was puzzled by this situation, but he sought legal advice, and has issued an order to the effect that the order disbanding them was illegal and had no effect, according to a news dispatch from Columbia last week rending as follows: Colnmhi'i SJ (' I'm 99 A ? ? I W V . v/.j l/Ulll i-t tmi , i 111 \/ I \ IV I was issued here tonight by Governor Manning declaring "void and of no effect" the action of Governor Blcase in disbanding the South Carolina National Guard shortly before he retired. Adjutant General Moore said lie believed the order automatically restored the troops to thier former status and that a reorganization would be unnecessary. Governor Manning based his action on the ground that the disbandmcnt was illegal. No explanation was made, however, regarding the basis for the claim. Thirty-one companies, including approximately 2,000 men, comprised the state's organized militia. In Loving Memory. On the 11 tli of January 1915, the death angels visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Boyd and took from them their darling little girl, Lecil i Curette. She was born May 21, 1910 and departed from this world January 11, 1915. She leaves a father and mother, one brother, on? sister. She had one sister who had gone on before to prepare a place for litHc l ecil. She was sick onl\ 6 days and C> nights and hove her sufferings patently. Oh, how : heart rendering it was to stand by the bedside and see the cold icy band of death, but the Lord knew best and has called her homo to live with Him. i ........ 4.1. .* i ~..:i ? ?

All that loving and kind friends and physicians could do did not stay the hands of death. We know little Leci! is resting in Heaven. A place made vacant in our home which never can he filled. May we all find a home in Heaven when our earthly task is done. Her Loving Aunt. Norton Items. The health of this community is very good at this writing. The New Year has come in and the farmers are preparing for another crop. Some have sown their tobacco beds, and some are preparing to sow. We hope this will be a prosperous year for the farmers for when the farmers prosper it means prosperity for the whole world. The Norton school under the management of Miss Ruby Bass closed on Dec. 31st and was a success. We hope the cotton crop for 1915 will be short so we can obtain better prices. We won't write any more at this writing but if it reaches the Herald oflice in time will write again. Horry Boy. WILLIAM TODD VAUDEVILLE This Popular Ten Cent Show in Conway for Whole Week.

STANLEY MEAT MARKET Efforts Saved Other Near-by Buildings or Greater Part of Town Gone. At about the hour of three hist Saturday morning: fire was discovered raging with terrible fury in the meat market occupied by D. N. Stanley in the town of Loris. The fire was discovered from the brick building just across the way occupied by the Loris Supply Co., and Loris Telephone Co. The flames rapidly spread from this meat market to the stables behind and other stores nearby. The store of O. C. Cox was totally destroyed. The stoek of goods of O. C. Cox was saved by being removed before they caught. Mr. Cox had insurance on the stock of goods and he will collect whatever damage was done to his goods by the fire and having to remove them. The H. L. Singleton store also went up in flames. This store was until recently occupied by A. R. Mosely & Co. Not long since the stock of goods in the store was taken in by A. J. Rrunson under a chattel mortgage held by him against Mosely and since that the business was run by Mr. Rrunson. The stock in the Singleton store was worth about $2,000.00, and only two or three hundred dollars worth of this stock was saved. There was no insurance on the stock, but the store building; was insured by the owner to the amount of $1,000.00. The stables and perhaps some other outbuildings behind those above mentioned were destroyed. The windows in the brick building across the street occupied by the Loris Supply Co., were cracked but the building and its contents were not damaged beyond this. The buildings destroyed were close to the Hank of Loris building. This building is of brick and it was saved. Starting at the time that it did, the fire was a shock to the people of the town. It is the first lire that has occurred since the town was incorporated so far as is remembered now. There is no certainty as to the origin of the lire except that it is known that it began inside of the small building occupied by 1). N. Stanley as a meat market. D. N. Stanley came to Loris from Wilmington, N. C., last year some time and began business in Loris. It could not be learned as to whether he carried insurance or not. CLEM SON NOTES We were very glad to know that so many of our Horry boys came . back to school after the holidays. Only one dropped out. That still gives us a greater number of Horry boys in this Institution than any other. Clemson is now practicing up for basket ball, with a good number out trying for the team. We hope that we can be as successful in basket ball, as we were in foot ball. Clemson won nvf>rv Ssfnto irnmn in fnrO hnll mwl t? great number out of the State. Class foot ball has begun on the | bowman field, with about one hundred trying out for class ball . We were foutunate in having on our Lyceum course, The famous Schildkrit's orchestra, which came here last Saturday night and gave one of the best programs we have ever heard. The famous Wherell, the best known violinist in America, played his part exceedingly well. The contract for the new Y., M. C. A. building here, has been let out to the contractors. This building will probably be one of the finest in the South, of its kind. This building when completed will cost $75,000. John D. Rockefeller, gave $50,000.00 pn this building on. condition that the college would raise $25,000.00 or more. Sec. Col. Spivey Elected. Last week in the Legislature, Col. 1). A. Spivey, of the Peoples Hank was elected as a member of the Board of Visitors of the Citadel Academy. Hi so doing they conferred an honor upon one who graduated there just before beginning a business career in this county which has turned out with remarkable success.
