THE HORRYSCHDOLS
HAVE FIELD DAY
Exercises Interferred With by
Inclement Weather.
FINE EXHIBITS SHOWN
Signs of Friendly Strife Among
the Schools of Horry County
is Hopeful Sign of Times
Field Day Exorcises of the Horry
'County Schools, scheduled to come off
I here on last Friday and Saturday,
j were seriously curtaied as to attendJ
ance by the rsfin and bad weather that
'began early on Friday morning and
lasted throughout the day. Great
pains had been taken to prepare for
this, one of the greatest events ever
pulled off by the schools of this county,
and while the bad weather was a
serious difficulty, still thegathering
was a sucess from almost every standpoint.
One of the most hopeful signs of
progress and improvement in the com
mon schools of this -country is the
friendly rivalry now existing among
the schools in different sections. They
are trying hard to excel one another
in the fineness of their work, and by
this means vhey are al steadily advancing
to that degree of efficiency
which will land every boy and girl into
the wider fie lds'of learning and gen
oral knowledge.
The county board of education, consisting
of the Superintendent, Mr. S.
H. Brown, and Messrs. M. J. Bullock,
and Power W. Bethea, deserve a great
deal of credit for the great interest
they have shown in this movement,
and the great amount of work they
have accomplished, all without the
hope of compensation except the]
good that will accrue to the boys and I
girls of our land.
The attendance was not very good
on Friday owing to the rain and the
coin, but it was better than would be
expected under the circumstances. The
arrangements at the county court
house for the exhibits from the various
schools went ahead without trouble,
and this work was done thoroughly.
It would be useless to try to enumerate
the many things shown in
these exhibits of the handiwork and
art displayed by the little boys and
and girls as well as that shown
as the work of the larger!
boys and girls. Space j
would not permit. It is sufficient to '
say that some of the things shown
would strike wonder in the minds of
any man or woman when informed
that they were made by country boys
and girls, in some instances without
the advantages of proper tools and
previous careful training.
The purpose of these meetings, now
generally held once a year in each
county, is to stimulate interest in the
cause of common education. Such
a program as that carried out this
time is bound to do this. Another
thing is that it enables the children
of one schoool to see what the children
of another school are doing, and
they can gain new ideas ami a fresh
impulse from each other.
Saturday was no better than Friday
only the rains did not fall quite so
regular. But the weather was bitterly
cold caused by a wind of the north,>.nL!f
rn... i ...us?u i?i
n V i lit' tliilllA WHICH HUH
been arranged for coming in from
Chadbourn and Aynor, failed to bring
the passengers they would have
brought, if the weather had been clear
and bright.
Still the school children, trustees
and teachers managed to get here in
every way they could, and the da>
a success in many respects although
: the^ people could not turn out to witness
what was done. The out door
exercises had to be cut of necessity.
The court house was used for display
ing the exhibits and the room was suit
ably decorated.
Music was furnished by the Conway
I Brass band.
I
j It js hoped that future field dayswill
be held during better weather.

T wish to inform you of the great
benefits I have derived from the use
of Swamp-Root. I had been a sufferer
for more than twenty years from
kidney and liver trouble and was almost
constantly treated by the most
eminent physicians who could only
give me -temporary relief. I had been
in bed ten weeks when I began the
use of Swamp-Root. Inside of twen- j
ty four hours I could see that 1 had
been greatly benefitted. I continued
to use Swamp-Root until I had used
several bottles when I really felt that
my old trouble was completely cured
and I am positive that any person suffering
with kidney or liver trouble
can be cured by the use of this preparation.
I am now in the best of health, better
than 1 have been for ten years or
more. I do not know how to express
myself as strongly as 'I desire, in favor
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, as
I am sure that it saved my life and
that my good health is due entirely to
this great remedy, 1 heartily recommend
it to every suffered and am con
iielent they can be benefitted as I have
been. It is a pleasure for me, gentle
men, to hand vou this rcvommeiulation.

ter February Court Gave On- c
ly One Side 1
t
SAYS TODDS ACTED BAD r
C
This Paper is Perfectly Willing f
to Give all the Space Needed }
for a Fair Hearing Among *
its Readers. *
Thinking that you would at least he 1
fair enough and would have consider- 1
ation enough for the feelings of those J
of us who have been so heavily hit 1
as a result ox ftho trouble which arose 1
at Mr. J. W. Todd's home near Hay- (
, . ... .... i
ooro last ran, resulting in a trial oi i 1
the Todds for murder, to give at least
a portion of our side of the controver- *
sy. I take this liberty of asking that
you give this article the same prom- ;
inence in the next issue of your paper
that you did your side, as Attorney
for J. W. Todd and others, in your
paper of March 4th of the trial of the
Todds for having slain one of my sons
and beaten the other nigh unto death.
I can find no fault with what you as
Attorney for the Todds wrote in your
paper for the reading of all the people,
as to the claim or contention of
the Todds. Your piece gave a correct
report, doubtless, as to what your clients
claimed at the trial?to-wit: that
my boys were drunk; were noisy; had
pistols, etc., but you stopped there. It
I does seem that even though you were
i their Attorney in the Court, yet that
| when you went into your office as editor
of a paper and attempted to give
your readers a fair and impartial report
of the trial, that you would have
given them such a report.
Witnesses were sworn and testified
that my boys were not drunk, they tes
tified further that the one who was
slain had no fire arms with him nor
had he one that entire day; they testified
further that the boys were not
boisterous, that they offered no insults
whatever to the family of Todd nor
to him and that they were leaving the
place late in the afternoon when the
unfortunate occurrence transpired
which leaves a vacant seat in my home
and one more member of the gang as
a result thereof. This was brought
out by witnesses, as you will recall
yourself, who were concerned, and by
witnesses, who, unlike the Todds, were
not swearing to save their lives.
Your report, while not claiming to
he an accurate report of all that took
place at the trial, at the same time
given out to the world in a newspaper
which claims to print the truth, would
leave the impression to those who had
not heard the trial that the State had
no witnesses at all. Not one word did
you insert as to what the Todds did;
as to what was going on all day Sunday
at their place; as to what condition
all of them were in. I have no
desire to bring this out before the pub
lie, but it is nevertheless a fact that
your friends, the Todds, even though
they were swearing to save their
necks, admitted the presence of a
great deal of wine there that day; ad
mitted the use of oaths on Sunday and
admitted also that the elder Todd
drove to church this Sunday morning

vith wine in his buggy, and two of
lis sons who went to spend Sunday
vith their father returned home that
light with wine in their buggy, drivng
a horse of a negro which they re- c
urned to its owner very badly cut up. v
When you were writing this piece, s,
lid you forget these facts that were t<
irought out? And many other facts c;
hat I care not to mention in this con- h
lection. I hope it was merely an ov- ii
rsight because 1 would hate to think
hat just because you were paid as a p
awyer to defend the Todd family that f
:ou would take advantage of the fact n
ind give your readers only your side c
>f the controversy. 0
If what you said in your report is ^
ill that transpired at the trial, how ^
an you reconcile the fact that the ^
jury, composed of some of the Coun- ^
Ly's best men and who sat patiently
throughout, the trial, sent one of vonr .
dients to the gang? Surely they could t
have had no fooling in the matter. r
They were chosen out of a panel of
K> and accepted by both you and them
to try the case. They undoubtedly
lifter hearing all of it decided that the
Lewis boys were not as bad as the ^
Todds contended they were. If they i .
had believed that just what your]
clients said was true, I dare say they
could never have convicted them. I
I hope you will see lit to publish
this in the spirit in which it is written.
I have no desire to break anew old
scars nor bring back to view the hideous
picture of the Sunday afternoon
but loyalty to my family and to the
memory of my son solely prompts me
in asking that you give your readers
at least an intimation that what the
Todds told at the trial was not all
that was said before the jury.
Your friends doubtless concede you
as an attorney, the right as a newspaper
man to give the version of your
clients in an occurrence which may result
in a law suit, but they even, I
doubt, would concede you right when
the matter had gone to trial and a
jury had spoken to give just your
, . , , . ~ V , -v
clients version 01 tne affair.
Yours truly,
W. H. Lewis.
(1 had no doubt that everybody understood
all this. J. W. Todd is a
drunkard and has never denied this
to his attorney or anybody else, so
far as I know, neither does anybody
doubt that all his boys followed in his
father's foot steps in the way of using
intoxicating drinks. It was useless
to state in the article mentioned [
facts which are already well known to
the public. I said during my argument
in defense of the Todds, and I
still say, that if it had been a different
kind of family from that of J.
W. Todd, none of the accused would
have been convicted under the circumstances.
As the Todds already bore
a rather bad reputation for drunkenness
and what generally follows that,
condition, they had a hard row to hoe, |
and I as their attorney had a hard I
case to fight. So far as publishing
both sides of this case or any
other, the Herald stands ready to do
it, and will give Mr. Lewis all the
space ho wants.?Editor.)

). F. RABIL
CONCERNING COTTON LOANS.
(Daily Record.)
John L. McLaurin, state warehouse
ommissioner, in talking of his recent
isjt to New York, says that he is
atisfied that the most practical way
[> handle cotton loans is through locil
banks, as the financial institutions
i New York cannot well deal with
idivduals obtaining small loans.
He stated that on his trip in comany
with J. Arthur Banks, senator
rem Calhoun, he had made arrangenents
so that cotton in warehouses
an be financed at a rate of interest
n straight loans not excelling five
ler cent and on bank acceptance, at
he present money rate, including
roker's commission, not over four
>er cent.
n ? \ t i t i *
ivir. .uciauirin credits nis success in
his undertaking to the existence of
he currency law which several
nonths ago he foresaw would imparl
'lasticit.v to our currency system, in
naking credit and not gold the real
noney that is the bin kbonc of comnerce.
He now needs the machinery
?f local banks to assi; i in making this
oan available.
The cotton planters have created
cast national credits which others
liave used and it is now time for the
farmers to have the benefits of the
money from their own credit. Northern
banks have not been familiar with
the form and quality of the warehouse
receipts in the South and the
integrity of the credit.
The state warehouse law was de!?*nr>d
flivmviVt fhr moilnnvi f 'iii-niiiyli
? o ?V/ - ...VV..VV... VMt V
which should be cst:.Hi*>hod to the
satisfaction of the financiers in the
North the value and validity of the
warehouse receipts. Now York financiers
are ambitious to make that city
the money center and are establishing
branch houses in Latin-American
countries. In order to keep the business
of the South the New York bank
imr houses must offer rates of Interest
lower than the accomodations of the
reserve banks.
The reserve banks are ?h>ing good
work now in offering elasticity to the
credits. The old was too rigid.
The prosperity of this state <iepends
upon an intelligent use of the credits
arising from the sale of cotton. The
state warehouse receipt is the best
security that can be offer erf |ind it is
up to the local banks to recognize
these certificates and to lend money
on thorn at the same rate which can
be obtained in New York?four to
five per cent.
Senator McLaurin says that the
legislature did not give him the money
with which to m: kc loans on cotton,
and he can secure money in New
York at 4 to 5 per cent, and he has
secured the promise of local banks to
handle loans on a margin of two per
cent, profit*
The senator while insisting that this
is the proper method for handling the
cotton situation yet confesses that
there is a lack of cohesion on tHe part
of the farmers themselves, and he
calls upon them to organize for practical
purposes in order to reap the
benefits of the warehouse proposition.
Ho ?lsn Kf II t" OR tlllll thi\
in the price of cotton is t.-Uiatrous
and will load to injury later on if the
farmers are not \vi3e enough not to
increase the intended use of fertilizer
and acreage.
