Snider's School celebrated Washington's Birthday last Friday afternoon. The program consisted of recitations, songs and a guessing game. Dr. W. E. King, a popular physician of Aynor, S. C., was in Court nearly all of last week having been summoned as a witness in several of the murder cases on the docket. The Civic League served oysters Tuesday and Wednesday of last week and the sum of $20.23 \vu3 realized which will be used toward beautifying the town. There was a hail storm in this section last week. Hail stones c 1' large size fell thickly for sortie time but soon molted away. The hail v.*as followed by several days of col l wcativ.r The bricks were placed or. the ground recently for building a v.a. ; round the county jail. There should be a yard in which the prisoners could exercise from time to lime in certain cases. Little Dorothy McCoy celebrated her Slh birthday last week. About 25 of her little friends enjoyed, the'afternoon with her. Many interesting games were played after which refreshments were sc rved. The ladies of the civic league served oysters and lunches at the S. P. Hawos store during several days of court week. It was a popular eating place during all the time that it re-! maincd open. J. P.

If you did not like the last lot of letter heads or envelopes that yoa had printed elsewhere, give us the next job and let us print it on cashier bond. If you don't like it, we do not know the reason. i You get the advantage of new type faces at this office every time you get a job done. Consequently your printing will look better and will help to bring you business. Give us the next job and see how you like it. Hardly half of the business before) the criminal court last week could be disposed of for lack of time. The | court was thrown behind a day in. j the beginning" by reason of Washing- ; ton's Hirthday, and getting a late i start seemed to pull the business back j for the whole week. Judge George H. Prince during the progress of the court last week made some interesting and impressive speeches when addressing and charging the juries. His remarks were! forceful and they were listened at with close attention by the large audiences which filled the court room dur ing most of the time. The case which created the most interest last week was that of tin State vs. Hub Johnson arid Pearson F. Spoors charged with the killing of K 1 ward M. Tart at Ay nor on September 19th, 1914. The court room was crowded with spectators during the | taking of the testimony and during j the arguments of the attorneys engag ed in the case. Magistrate J. P. Core of Hometvood came near sustaining serious injuries one day on the street here during court week. While the street was crowded an automobile ran against him but was not going at a very high rate of speed at the time or his injuries would have been great. As it was he was only slightly injured. Don't forget that you can have your letter heads, note heads and envelopes printed on Cashier's Bond, one of the finest papers ever used by any printing, concern at the prices at which wtlet you have it. It makes a clean white sheet that gives pleasure tc write pp. It costs just a fjtpetiop more than the cheaper paper you may get elsewhere.

For a long time the county authorities have been expected to attend to this important matter, but so far no movement has been made to get it done. It is hoped that the recommendation of the grand jury this time will have the desired effect. A plot was uncovered in New York last Tuesday where a gang of anarchists had planned to kill all the rich | nurtj, destroy the large buildings and -? n j : r rob the large banks simultaneously. They were to destroy St. Patrick's Cathedral as a signal to destrop the city. But the plot was nipped in the i bud by a detective who had spent two months as one of the anarchists and had gained the confidence of the gang. Dr. J. K. Stalvey passed through Conway last week on hi* way homo from Whitcyillo, N. C., where he went to certify iVi a damage suit against the Waccnmaw Lumber Co. The plaintiff in the case is a laborer named J. D. Washington who was injured for life when he went into a dangcroup place to clear some of the logs from an accumulation of slab ends.

Two years of the Wilson administration sees the dark hour just before the dawn and while it must be admitted that the party did not do itself much credit in its performance in the senate when more than half a dozen members who should have stood to the rack, left the reservation, sue i things now and then are to be expect ed. It has not weakened Wodrow Wilson. He is stronger perhaps toda\ than he was the day when he was nom inated for the presidency or on the day lie took the oath of ofTice as president on the capitol steps. He is a stronger man for the fact that in the 1 ship bill when he saw that he was being deserted he kept lighting and has never yet lost faith in the idea thai he will yet see such a bill passed. It may not be now?it may not be next year?but in his opinion it is coming Carping critics?and not all of them on the other side of the political fenc.t ?seem to take pleasure in damning the administration both for what it does nad for what it does not do. The War Cranks. There is an element that is clanoi ing for war to be declared and oak ing the air blue because we arc do ing nothing. Another element is howling because we do not aoropriate more money for "preparedness." This is the way it goes. Should we, today, appropriate enough money to make this country absolutely safe against an invading foe, the very men who arc demanding "preparedness'' would be condemning us for our unwarranted extravagance. It is true that n some of the government departments there are me? who have not been as successful in _ -1 ?'! _ ? ? . ? ineir nurniTUHirauon as miglH imvi bene wished and who have brought ill feeling upon the administration, bu! the same thing has often hapened b? fore and likely will happen lenj after the present occupant of the White House and the members of hi* cabinet have given away to others. It is undoubtedly the dark hour before the dawn. Remember that the Democratic party has 'born going through a titanic political struggle, that Woodrow Wilson is stronger coday with the Democrats than he has over been and that the Democratic party will yet emerge from its present position justified by action well done.

Postal Department is Not fo Curtail Postal Service, Put Mill Imp: 0,0 Rural Delivery. That the postal department has n< idea curtaling the facility.-offered to country people, but on the contrary is always working- tor their improvement, is explained in a letter from Postmaster General Burleson to representative Lever of South Carolina. Humors have become current throughout the country that it is th< intention of the postof.ice department to greatly curtail the rural delivery service. The results have been that members of congress representing rural constituencies have been flooded with protests ng: hut any change of policy on the part of the postof)ic< department which would bring about any decrease in the efficiency of ru ral service. A great many members have personally protested to the post master general and have filed written protests with him. In his letter to Mr. Lever, Mr. Burleson clearly defines the attitude of the department The following is Mr. Lever's letter: Will Hurt Country. "I have l>6en thinking a great deal about the matter of our convc rsation the other day relative to your policy in regard to the rural deliver} service in the country. The more 1 think about it the more fully convinced I become that if you put int( effect the plan you have in mind of curtailing rural delivery service, you will not only work a serious injury to the people of the country?the rural people?but make it impossible for the Democratic party to hope to wir. the next presidential election. "Thp nostiil KPrvi<??> wuk nr?v#>r in tended to be ?a profit making ooiu tern. It was established /w'-lhe convenience and education of the people; and yon can as little afford to curtail that service us Secretary Houston can to cui-taiJ the constructive work of the department of agriculture. I am writing this as your friend, as a friend of the administration from President Wilson down to the humblest member of it. I earnestly beg you, and I know I am voicing the sentiment of every Democratic member in congress not to put into operation any plan by which rural delivery service will hehurt. The country people are entitled to as good postal service as the city people and we must do nothing that will show any discrimination against them." Mr. Hurleson's reply is as follows: "This is to acknowledge receipt of formed a company to do a Realty siness, known as The Horry Real >.

W. LITTLE, W Counsel Manager imams your letcr of February ('? in relation to the rurai servkc, which 1 have euro fully read. "I fully cor.cur with yea in the view that the pesta. ic r\ ice should not, and must not, be conducted as a ' '"profit making cc.m rn," a: d that the rural delivery of rnr.il was established for the convenience and education ef I the people. So fixed am 1 in this con vietion thai iw shall be my policy to ! increase and extend, instead of cur1 tail, this very important postal facility so that not less, but mere, of the American people shall be furnished the advantages which it affords. Coordinate, however, wi.h this policy good administration demands that sat isfaetory postal facilities bo given to the people at the h ast possible expenditure of public funds. "It is sincerely regretted that ii. tim<s past this desirable service was not always established or maintained in well populated communities where it could be utilized for the convenience and education of the people, and that the expenditure of thousands of dollars for unusual or unnecessary i mail facilities has interfered with thej proper application of available re- ] sources for the extension of this service. Therefore, many of our people can now be provided with these means of convenience and education that are more than liberally supplied by others "Then, again, Ihoxe are other inequalities. For example: In communities where road conditions and population are similar the mail facilities afforded should be equal. There are certain sections of the country where one community will have a route affording tri-weekly service and another where the conditions are identically the same route providing daily service. Now, either the 1 community, with the tpi-weekly service is entitled to daily service or the community with the daily service is I entitled onlv to irt.w^oirlv c^r>. vice. In other words, the service should be established with regard to the actual needs of the patrons of the particular route and should bo equitably distributed between communities where the conditions and requirements are identically the same. The logic and justice of this is apparent both inthe interest of good administration and fairness to the patrons of the postal service. That some communities should have more service than is essential and others lei s or none ut all is manifestly , wrong. KfTort is being made to eliminate these inequalities and it is believed that when this shall have been p done there wfl! be no further cause ^ ?|M of Horry | I ** wrfNUS , BrokcragsXo'^^u'J^faiJ^ 1S Pr?vetntlng OecoaMilr ban all the Iran* in tKtt tv Broke ?I\(5o.nu,no Rat corn. ? 1 it dealers or by m^|t poofc?
