It was understood the gntyml wck was laid for further action tomorrow when the conference will be resumed which will constitute the first of a succession of moves to end three years of revolution. STORE AT ALLEN i, 10 cri i ikio niiT I Id OLLLMiU UUI In this issue of the paper is a half page advertisement of Trexler Lumber Co., showing that their store located at Allen, S. C., will sell out its entijj^ stock at wholesale cost, beginning on Monday week, August 16th. This company is ready to back up their claim as to the prices at which I they are offering these goods as being at actual wholesale cost. The reason ff<r discontinuing the store is the fact that times have grown hard and they )find it necessary to discontinue the (Andfrantile business for the reason the business done does not justify |flj keeping the store open except for the purpose of getting rid of the goods at ^B what they cost the company to buy ^B them. Be sure to visit Allen during ^B this sale and get the benefit of these ^B low prices. o NOTICE AH persons holding claims against the*estate of Lizzie Hughes, Dec'd., ^B are hereby notified to present the ^B same duly attested to the undersign^B ed, within the time provided by law, ^B or this notice will be set up in bar of B their recovery; and all persons indebtB ed to the said estate are hereby noti^B fied to make payments to the under sign^fr.

The battleships New Hampshire and Louisiana, now at Newport with the \tlantic fleet were ordered to prepare it once to get to Vera Cruz but if the jmergency should become pressing the battleship Connecticut, now in Haitien i. 1 l i i i outers and aoout two days sail across ;he gulf would be ordered, to join Commander McNamee. The Connecticut could reach Vera 3ruz several days ahead of the New Hampshire and the Louisiana. Commander McNamee's report , did tot give details but officials here beieve the anti-American feeling which le reported is a direct outgrowth of Pan-American negotiation in Washington for the adjustment of differences between the factions. o TOBACCO MARKET , WELL AT CONWAY The Conway tobacco market has had sales every day in the week except Saturday. Large quantities of the weed are being sold every day, but the .farmers are holding back to some extent especially as to the better grades.

RUSSIAN ARMIES i 1 STILL IN DANGER The armies of Grand Duke Nicholas, after evacuating Warsaw, are not yet out of the mesh spread by the Germans to cut off their escape to the eastward, Russian officials reports indicate. It is declared a large part of Ijtussjan army remained j close to the Polish capital to congest j any effort of the Germans to cross ^ the Vistula in pursuit. I The Russians, it is stated, stationed ; artillery on the right bank of the Vis- 1 tula to prevent the rebuilding of the , Vistula bridges by the Germans and ^ this is borne out by the Berlin official communication which declares the ^ Russians continue to bombard War- j saw from Praga on the eastern banK of the river. o COUNTY FAIR IN THE !

There was a called meeting here ast Saturday at the county court louse of the strawberry growers of Conway township for the purpose of organizing an association for mutual advantage. The growers met and formed a temporary organization with temporary officers. A committee on oy-laws was appointed to draft suitable by-laws for the association and present them for consideration at the next meeting.

The main purpose is to render mutual aid in marketing the lerry crop each year, and in other ways help each other in a common ause. Every grower of Conway town ship is especially invited to attend :he next meeting. Revenue officers were hot on the trail of an illicit whiskey still in the section near Little River on the border line between this county and North Carolina, and went to look for it the atter part of the week, bat they came sack empty handed. o MEXICAN BANDITS GIVING TROUBLE Brownsville.?Five Mexican bandits and one Mexican woman were killed in the fight Sunday at Norias, G8 t.iiles north of here. For an hour fifteen Americans, eight of them United States cavalrymen, stood off the attack of sixty Mexicans. Five of the Americans, including three soldiers, were wounded. The fifteen were savid from death, just as their ammunition gave out, by ?he arrival of seventeen Texas Rangers. o Cases at Long\ Magistrate H. C Gore was engaged last Thursday in the haring of two L-ases transferred to him from Magistrate W A. Aflame Hnnrl f rrV?? hearings took place at the residence of Mr. Gore at Longs postoffiee. The ^ases arose out of the charges contained in two warrants. One charged the violation of a contract and was sworn out by Mr. L. P. Hardwick, and the other was for trespass on real estate and was sworn out by Mrs. Eula Ray Grainger, the sister of the defendant, Fred C. Bellamy. The warrants were up for hearing in April before Mr. Adams in Little River township, but there was no trial the parties on that day signing two agreements IT* 1 I>~11 _ i wiR-reuj' r ivu ueuainy tinci lvirs. Grainger both agreed not to molest one another in their affairs any more. Just why the warrants were brought up again was not fully explained, but Magistrate Gore, after looking into the cases decided that the warrant for trespass could not be brought up again as it was settled at the former hearing, and as to the warrant charging breach of contract it was found that the facts of the case were not covered by the statutes provided for Hich cases and under which the wa: rant was taken out. The work was started last week on the new brick and concrete garage for Harry G. Cushman. It is situate on 4th Avenue in rear of the commercial hotel property. The building will bo modern in all respects. H. P. Little is the contractor. o It takes a good plant that is kept good all of the time to enable a printer to get out your work in .the best style and on time to suit your demands.

UA11 Lb I ROUBLES V AT COUNTY LINE Between Horry And Georgetown Across Waccamaw Neck at the Seashore LINE ONCE MARKED BY WIRE FENCING Afterwards Sold by County to Private Individuals and Taken Away. Recently there has been trouble about cattle belonging to farmers near the county line between Horry anrl Georgetown where the line passes through Waccamaw Neck, between the Waccamaw River and Murrells Inlet. Until this year there was no clash so far as reported between this line. This year however, when stock wonders across the line from this county into Georgetown, the farmers over there and others, so it is said, shut the cattle up and in several cases the stock was threatened as being subject to sale, and advertised, and actually sold in one case. The sale brought on a civil suit in the magistrate's court which will come up for decision. This line years ago was protected by a fence of barbed wire running all the way from the river to the creek. The fence was no doubt provided for in some act of the Legislature passed in relation to the stock law. The fence remained there for a number of years and then the county sold the fence and it was removed. Since that time the matter received very little attention from anybody until recently the stock was shut up in several cases. As nobody paid any attention to it, the acts of the Legislature, if any existed making the fence necessary, have been forgotten and now everybody down there on this side of the line is asking something about it. NEW REVOLUTION STARTS IN HAITI Washington, Aug. C.?A new revolutionary disturbance at Gonaives, on the western coast of Haiti, has been reported to Rear Admiral Caperton and he has dispatched the naval tug Osceola with forces to protect the customs house. The admiral today reported the occupation of Fort Nationale in Port Au Prince by American forces without resistance. The American marines are quartered in the barracks. Colonel Cole, commanding the ma* vinos, landed from the battleship Connecticut, is in military charge of the town and Captain Peach has been assigned to handle civil affairs. A session of the Uaitien parliament to select a President has been called for Sunday. o BITTER RATTLE At mm nnim MS BUti SIlVtK London, Aug. 7.?The German official report tonight claims that the Russian resistance has been broken between Lomza and the mouth of the Bug River. Thus, whether the Russians have been defeated or have fallen back voluntarily to a new position, one of the bitterest battles that has been fought since the beginning of the war has ended. For just three weeks the Germans, under supreme command of Field Marshal von Hindenburg, have been trying to force this front on the Narew river and to cut off the Russian armies in their retreat from Warsaw. o The improvements at the Kingston Hotel were about completed last week. A large lobby has been completed on the first floor and it adds much to the convenience and pleasure of the hotel guests. 4sBsSutiMawl
