Counties. p A prominent citizen in Socastee ^ Township in an interview recently, ^ gave the Herald the exact fact about the troubles arising between the two V sections of c;,o rgetown and Horry i ^ Counties over the stock and fence <*1 I question, these facts being stated as " follows: Some of those that were trying to 0 enforce the stock law notified the ^ IGpvernor of the condition of affairs. s< They seemed to think they needed protection. ^ Governor Manning instructed the ^ Sheriffs of Georgetown and Horry to 11 meet at Murrells Inlet with the near- w est Magistrates of Horry and George- P town and see what could be done to ri a.1 enforce the law and protect the prop-| 11 erty,?settle the trouble if possible. Y1 Aw meeting was held the 17th of 1 August and it was decided to request tl the parties on both sides to stop until s the Legislature meets in January. Then if the Representatives from I Georgetown side do not make provisions and have Waccamaw Neck ex- ompted from the provisions of the J fctack law, our delegation would have opportunity to arrange for building j'! tJH." ICIItf ' ?; stock law on W^camftw Neck admit' E that two-thirds of the permanent resi-l r dents are opposed to the lav/. j c p Mr. Wilcox (the man who is said to;a m have created the confusion, the leader' ? It' of the supporters of the law, agreed 1] B Ti9t to shut up any more stock for 1 11 trespassing until January on certain ^ p conditions. |m c Kg Conditions:?That Mr. Lewis, our a I Sheriff, was to use his influenece with) 0 K our Representatives to have the fence ^ between the Counties rebuilt or the lj matter arranged in some way at the m n January meeting of the Legislature. El Lewis agreed to do what he could, it Another condition was that when he PS stopped shutting up stock, that the m people were to let him alone. They H had been boycotting him, had run off R bis cooks and washerwomen, and in terferred with him in other ways. The understanding was that the pending i law suit he stopped also. Since then c II it^oems that there was some lack of t agreement about paying the cost in 1 m the case, and that it has just been put t | .off. I Several people on the other side seemed ready to lot Mr. Wilcox alone, fif he would let their stock alone. Where the stock was troubling was along the creek edge in front of the Wsidonces, biting the oak and cedar trees, and very easily could have been prevented by running a fence to the * deep water in the creek?a short distance. The people on the Georgetown side, it is said, are intending to try to get that section exempt . by law at the next Legislature, and if they do, it would save the building and keeping the fence. j I think the condition ought to be impressed on our Representatives and the people ought to know that they are acquainted with the facts, and I think through the papers is the beat Brick Walls Started. *he brick walls of the new garage being erected for Harry G. Cushman, were started last week by Mr. H. P. Little, the contractor. The new building wilT be modem in all its appointments and will be conveniently located for the approach of motor vehicles from the street. The earth was Wrst removed from the lot so that there will be a perfectly level cement floor from the sidewalk inward. ] % * * (The "HOF cc REALIZES CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS Jistinguished Horryite Visits Horry After Twenty-two Years of Absence.

GERMANS MAY GIVE G US SATISFACTION 1 The sinking of the steamer Arabic by a German submarine caused more apprehension of relation becoming on strained between this country and at Germany than did the loss of the Lus- th itania with much greater loss.

The imperial chancellor made the| following statement of Germany's position: "As long as the circumstances sur- Fi rounding the sinking of the Arabic do have not been fully cleared up it is bi: impossible for me to make a definite VV1 statement.

OLIPHANT OF ]"l CHARITIES BOARD Makes Investigation of Horry E Jail, and Chain Gang ' J CamDS. Etc. The State Board of Charities and p Corrections made its first inspection last week of the Horry County jail, the Conway City jail and the county chaingang camps. The agent of the Board, who made the inspections was ( A. I). Oliphant, its assistant secretary. The board is engaged in the big work of attempting to improve the conditions under which the pauper, objective method and criminal classes live in South Carolina. The representative of the Board came to Conway on Thursday afternoon from Georgetown. He left on s Saturday afternoon for Columbia r where the Board has its office. v The assistant secretary of the s BonrH sni?l thnf Vin fnimrl HAi'iur rvTri- I eials with whom he had dealings very ^ willing to co-operate with hiip in his work. a In regard to the county jail, Mr. b Oliphant said that he thought it would ( be well to strengthen one of the cells t in the front part of the building suf- r fieiently to enable the sheriff and ^ jailer to confine all white male pris- ^ oners there instead of in the cell block t with the negro male prisoners. At ^ present only white men who the sherill can trust are placed out of the cell * block in one of the front cells which ^ are not very secure. ^ Mr. Oliphant went to the chaingang p camps in Socastee and Floyds town- ^ ships. He took up with Supervisor Murrell a number of matters he had c brought to his attention on these vis- ^ its. The representative of the Board j also made an investigation of thn ? ^ -- I c method of caring for paupers in Horry County. | PLAN THEIR WORK FOR COMMON GOOD f f The strawberry growers of this immediate section met at Conway last j Saturday and effected a permanent p organization for mutual benefit and c cooperation.

Waller, H. H. Lee, J. C. King, William (j Waddington; finance committee, It. O. r Hanson, C. S. Causey, Jeremiah t Smith. ^ The plans of the organization were I well laid at a meeting about a month ( j ago. For a long time there has been s need of all the growers here coming in \ close touch with each other. They r will now be able to market the crop ^ each year to the best advantage. t WAS AFTER DOWER ' ! AND KEPT PAPERS:: - . ?

The mortgage was drawn up at y the Bank of Whiteville, at the Tabor 4 branch of that institution, and was j j signed by J. M. Home.

This he declared before the governors' conference at an adjounrnd session on board the flagship Wyoning of the North Atlantic fleet in Massachusetts bay. For two hours the secretary stood n the bridge of the flagship while Admiral Fletcher put the fleet through naneuvres illustrating attack and lefense. Then he joined the goverlors in the admiral's cabin and told hem why he had made them his quests for the afternoon. "The navy must abide in the hearts >f the whole country if it is to be trong and powerful and made great," he secretary said.
