OBITUARY.
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.

around Cod's White Throne. She was
a loving child to them that knew her
and in her last moments she parsed
away with a smile on her sweet lips.
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.

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.

LORIS HAS FIRE
BUILDINGS DESTROYED
There Was Insurance on Some
None on Others.
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. No
better man could have been selected
for this place. It is among the best
schools of our State and it has turned
out some of the most successful men
of our time
