COOPER WAS ARRESTED LAST WEEK In Darlington, S. 0., Charged; With Breach of Trust IN TOBACCO TRANSACTION! Warrant Charges Disposing of: Tobacco Worth About 5000 n _ "i a ? rn xj-jiunyiny i/U lumtuj Warehouse. W. L. Cooper, u tobacco buyer, was j arrested at Darlington, S. C., the latter part of last week under a warrant sworn cut by one of the owners of the Peoples' Tobacco Warehouse located at Aynor, S. C. The warrant charges in substance that Cooper was entrusted with a lot of leaf tobacco worth about $800.00 to place it on the markets in North Carolina for the warehouse company, and that he failed to account for the proceeds of the weed. j The facts out of which the charge grew happened last Summer or early Kail when the tobacco season was bei ing closed up at Aynor. The ware: house company it seems had advanced Cooper money to buy this tobacco with the understanding that it should rej main the property of the warehouse 'I until the money was repaid. The tobacco was shipped in the name of C. k. (Jerrahl for the warehouse company and Cooper sent with it to sell it ami send the money back. This he failed to do it is alleged, hence the barge of breach of trust. He was brough I over here and lodged in the county jail and was si.il! in the jail 1 [ \c first of the week. To the Corn Club Boys. Several boys have written me asking to be enrolled this year in the corn club saying that they want to do some good work. We hope to make this year one of ! the best in the history of the corn club work by giving the boys greater opportunities to improve themselves. 1 think that each county has a Farm Demonstrator who is anxious to bring his county to the front in farming. During the State Fair, each count.v i , i .i l.'ii* is given a Doom in ine lair Dunning 1 to exhibit the various farm products ? grown in that county. By looking through the different county booths one can see samples of about ever> 1 farm product grown in the State. 7 I want to make better farmers ol you boys and to give you every advantage possible. I There are eleven townships in the p county and I propose to divide then II into three districts as follows: District No. 1, will be composed ol r Floyds, Green Sea, Bayboro, Galivant! Ferry. r District No. 2, Dog Bluff , Conway Hand Simpson Cr;ck. ! ; District No. Little River, Dot Wood Neck, Socastce i\nd Bucks. 1 The boy in each district making tin best record on his acre of corn will b< * given a scholarship to the State Fair 2 the Scholarship to cover railroad fare The boys winning the scholarshii this year will not be elligible nex ^ year. In that way we can send thre< new boys each year. By districting the county we car " send a boy from each section, otherwise, one township might win all the scholarships. When you send in your name be sure to state the township in which ' you live. Prepare your acre well and do all you can to make a prize acre. ; Remember the ages 9 to 18. Send in your name with correct address at your earliest convenience so that I can file a list of your names in Washington with O. B. Martin and at Clemson with W. W. Long. Owing to the present condition of cotton, we will drop that club and put what we have been putting in the cotton club to the corn club. Any assistance that I can render you boys, I shall be pleased to do so. S. H. Brown. NOTICE. We have rented from Patrick A.

The last number of the lyceum course for the present season took place at the Burroughs School Auditorium on last Monday night. The crowd in attendance was larger than is usual at the last number when some cf the members generally lose interest.

OHiTUARY. Hon. Jeremiah Mishoe died on the 21st of February, 191 o. He was 73 years and three days old. His sufferings were very short bring sick only a few days. When h ? was a young j man he volunteered as a soldier in the war between the States and served i faithfully through the war. After the . war he came home and married Miss Orilla Rooth and lived with her until } the 12th of last Juno. She proceded him to the grave. During their stay i on earth they had born to them ten J children, viz: Jeremiah L. Mishoe, who died at the age of 22 years, Gallic Mishoe who married J. D. Allen, of ' j ' I Allen, S. C., Ellen Mishoe who mar' ricd H. W. Mishoe of Gurley, S. C., j J. B. Mislioe who died at the age of | 20 years, Addie Mishoe who married '! 13. 31. Mishoe, of Gallivants Ferry, S. i C., Pennie Mishoe who married W. D. , | Pudges of Fairmont, N. C., K. L. Mish oe, of Cool Springs, S. C., Nellie Mish oe, who married F. C. Norris of Florence, S. C., and G. C. Mishoe of Aynor, S. C. i He was a useful man in his comP munity. At the death of his father he was appointed Magistrate and served 18 years, then he was appointon the Board of County Cmmissionars for several years, then he was v I elected to the State Legislature and 3 >.rved hi? people there six years, . I then he was appointed Magisfyratg at ~ Cool, Springs, S. 0., and vvAs holding " that position at his death. He was also Pension Commissioner for Hor' ry County at the time of his death, k The blameless life he had led, his s high character, his gentle and unassuming manners, won for him not onk ly the respect but the admiration of all with whom he came in contact. As gentle as a child, and as tender as a woman, with the courage of a , hero and a faith that .never faltered, i he proved himself a worty decendant I of that race of famous men from whom he sprang and most worthyiiy bore a name which will be honored as long as liberty loving people shall find a dwelling place upon the earth. He was a member of Sslem Baptist Church and has been practically all of his life. Dear Father was so kind and true. There is none as loving as yon, A loving one from earth is gone, A voice we loved is stilled. A place made vacant in our home, That never can be filled. His Son, . . f> Kxportation from Germany, Exportation fronjjpermany of such Roods as Great Britain desires and is able to obtain from that country will be permitted by the British Government, notwithstanding the declaration of Premier Asquith that Great Britain and her Allies would prevent commodities of any kind from reaching or lcavng Germany. Neutrals Nations SulTer. Tlu pros* of Italy is practically unanimous in declaring that Germany's blockading tramics will result chiefly in harm to neutrals to unite and affirm their rights "against the excesses of belligerents."

I "T '1 1 j-riQtui vv rjviaumiy auc , ] to Too Much Bad Whiskey or Cocaine. The colored settlement on the hill was disturbed last Sunday by Sam hell amy, a colored man, who was craz ed by too much bad whiskey or cocaine and went on the rampage. His1 troubles with the Intoxicants started ' early on Sunday morning but there was nothing like a general disturbance until later on in the afternoon. His condition having gone from bad to worse, he finally seemed to immugine himself to be a street preacher and he went about the place preaching all sorts of doctrine at the top pitch of his voice. All efforts to manage him failed and the police were called in. They arrested him and lodged him for safe i keeping in the town guardhouse to | await his trial for disorderly conduct. One of the charges against him 1 was the firing of his pistol though not \ aimed at anybody particularly. MO MORE COTTON SENT TO GERMANY Since the Policy of Great Britain is Enforced Making it Coimtraband PROTEST W A S MAD E i _ This Was Not a Reply to Recent Note from United States on Shipping. All commercial intercourse by sea between Germany and the outside world was declared prohibited last week by Great Britain and France. Identical notes presented by the .Flinch and British ambassadors informed the United States of this dras , tic step by the Allies, in reply to Germany's war zone proclamation. The text of the notes was the same as the statements made by Premier Asquith in the British parliament. If this policy is enforced, it no longer will be possible to ship cotton, i manufactured articles and commodit' ies hitherto of a non-contraband chacf acter from the United States to Gct:I many, directly or indirectly, and from Germany the supply of dyestuffs and other merchandise for consumption iu this country will be cut Plt\ The impression was general ii. official cirrlert that i\ strong protest I would be nuulfi4 ' The Allies' action ' regarded as an unprecedented J and novel step. Officials pointed out j Unit in the reprisals which the .MUS" | events were making toward cacti OiH* I er, there was singular forget fulness ot the fact that whatever might be the violations of the internation customs as between these countries at war this could not affect the status of international rules as between the United States and countries with which she was at peace.

It is not many children who have nad the painful experience of Clara McDowell, who is now nine years old, and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. McDowell, Jr., residing some miles across the lake in the direction of Hammond, S. C. About two years ago she fell through a buggy wheel which caught her left leg and twisted it so that one of the bones in the limb was split for some distance and broi_~_ OK _ i\ i. i i r\M o Ki n. one iirsi avieuueii uy ur. o. P. Watson of Loris. Under the circumstances the bone would not knit together by reason no doubt of its being split. An operation was the only hope toward making the limb sound again. The child's father and Dr. Watson took the child to Wilmington N. C., where an operation was performed on the leg by Dr. Thomas M. Green. He advised the placing of a silver rod in the bone in some manner which at the time was explained, and this the father was told had been done. 'After the girl returned from the hos! pital she still did net get well but had | to walk with a crutch. After some time she had another accident and broke the bone in the thigh of the ! same leg. This time she was taken to 1 the hospital in Charleston and this 1 break was cured, but nothing was done for the old trouble below the knee. Recently the child began to 'complain of pain. A rising* appeared underneath her left foot and she was | laid up with it for some time. This festered place was opened and a little later the end of the rod which had been placed in the limb was found sticking out at the hole about half an | inch. The rod came entirely out through this opening under the foot, j The rod is nine inches in length and is larger at one end than the other. At the smaller end there is a split in the rod about an inch long, and the small end is rather sharp where it was cut ( off. One end of the rod there is a lit| tie sign of silver or nickel plating, btu for the rest the rod appears to be of some- other metal than silver. The rod of/me out on Saturday February 4 28th. The father, Mr. J. V. McDowell, Jr., thinks that t he operation was carelessly performed, and he states that he will investigate the matte* from a legal standpoint and if there is any chance ho will bring action against the ho^jMUU fov damages, oi* rather bring the action in the name of his child. f > . , To Sunday School Workers In order not to conflict with the Field Day exercises of the County schools, the date for the Convention of the Horry County Sunday School Association, to be held this year at Loris, has been changed.
