May Result in Rebuilding the F

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

Lorry on a visit last week, after an
bsence of twenty-two years. Prof.
Moyd was educated in the higher intitutions
of South Carolina and after
caching in the schools of the State
or a length of time, moved away to
'lorida where he has made a distinuished
place for himself.
After his visit here last week, he
rrote concerning it to the editor as
ollows:
"After an absence of twenty-two
ears I visited Conway last week and
ras surprised and pleased to see the
hanges and improvements that have

it was particularly gratifying to
no engaged in advancing agricultural
cvelopment in his adopted State, to
ee that his native County in the old
almetto State is forging ahead along
lis line. The growing of tobacco,
irage crops, live stock, and truck is
laking the transformation in Conray,

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 aj]
reason because the loss of the Arabic jni
followed the note of the United States th
emphatically said that a further instance
of this thing would be regarded m(
as a deliberately unfriendly act. ni(
If the commander of a submarine | ea
exceeded his instructions in sink- jj
ing the steamer Arabic the German
government will give full satisfaction n
to the United States, says Chancellor!
von Bcthmann-Hollweg.
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. Thus far we have received
no report. Now we do not even know isJ
whether the sinking of the ship was A1
caused by a mine or by a torpedo fired
from a German submarine, nor do we tij
know in this latter ease the Arabic pn
herself may not have by her actions, Cc
perhaps, justified proceedings of the le<
commander of the Submarines. w*
"Only after all these circumstances eh
have been cleared up will it be pos- pr
sible to say whether the commander ^
of one of our submarines went beyond
his instructions, in which case c0
the imperial government would not isl

MR. 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. The officers elected r
were as follows: A
President, G. B. Jenkins: vice president,
N. T. Collins; treasurer, ft. S. c
Cultra; secretary, W. J. Waller; advis- jt
ory board, J. A. McDermott, J. L. r
! 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 '

A suit was filed last week to t,
straighten out the tangle over a mort- tl
gage of a tract of land in Simpson r
Creek township containing forty-nine (j
acres. This larud was described in a ?
O
mortgage irom the owner, J. M. s
1 Home to Rank of Whiteville and so- j
' cured the payment of a note for $150. r
; It> was made to secure Mr. S. H. g
TTarrelson of flreen Sea, against his s
endorsement for Home of another r
note. 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. He then said j
ho could obtain his wife's dower on y
the mortgage and the mortgage was t
redelivered to him for the purpose of t
obtaining this renunciation of dower \
and then return the mortgage to the t
Bank of Whiteville. Home went off <
with the mortgage and he never got 1
the renunciation of dower nor return- \
ed the mortgage to the bank. At last j
, accounts he refused to either pay the s
I debt or deliver up the mortgage. \

1AN1ELS DESIRES
STRONG NAVY
A powerful and great navy and ef
iciency, so mat it win oo ready to deend
the country against attack from
my quarter, is the aim of Secretary
Daniels. 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. "It is for the peode,
not the president or myself, to
av how Croat il shall ho As \rott fro
<- - ' - f> ^
o your homes you will speak the
rord that will help to determine this
lucstion.
Not Saying Much.
"The greatest things that the navy
a doing are not heralded. Since the
i*ar began there is not an officer in
ny department of the navy who has
iot taken advantage of its lessons.
Experiments are proceeding day and
light and today in every element our
lavy has no superior in the world. We
lo have superiors in size and numbers
,nd it is for us to continue to
trcngthen our navy.
"I believe we ought to increase our
mvy steadily so that in times of
tress and emergency the real first
trong arm of our country will be
eady to defend our country if it is atacked
from any quarter."

The case of The State vs. F. C. Belamy
on a charge of trespass and
>reach of contract was to have been
ried before Magistrate L. F. Bryan
it Little River last week. The trim!
vas moved to Magistrate B. L. Carter
it Daisy and the trial set for Thurslay
September 9th. This matter has
)een pending in the courts for several
nonths. The idea seems to be on the
