ALLEN BEATY WAS I
ARRESTED BY MAYOR
0
Violated All Speed Laws While
Drunk and Disorderly
Last Week.
Allen Beaty, known by the nickname
of "Pumkum," a colored helper
at the blacksmith trade, last Thursday
night stole an automobile from the
garage of D. H. Russ and with a gallon
of grape juice stored in the back,
proceeded to paint the streets red.
At first he was noticed as turning
street corners without warning and
violating the speed laws of the town.
As the grape juice and gasoline began
to get mixed up more thoroughly, his
speed and recklessness must have increased.
He passed along Main street
as Mr. J. L. panady was crossing
from the moving picture show. He
ran into Mr. Canady without warning
and as he saw that he would be run
down, Mr. Canady caught the side of
the machine which threw him into the
back seat. For a time his injuries
were believed to be serious indeeed,
but later it was learned that while his
injuries were very painful and sufficient
to lay him up, that he would
soon recover.
T. T. HYDE WON
. OVER J. P. GRACE
Charleston, Oct. 16.?Tristam T.
Hyde was declared the nominee for
mayor of Charleston by a majority of
128 votes over the incumbent, John P.
Gracq, a^ the conclusion tonight of an
eight hour sitting of the city Democratic
executive committee, called together
to canvass and publish the vote
cast in the primary election held Tuesday.
The session was adjourned from
that of yesterday, which broke up in
a riot that involved the death of a
newspaper man, Sidney J. Cohen, the
shooting of four others and the clubbing
of two.
Three hundred militiamen patrolled
the streets and maintained strict
watch over the German Artillery hall
in which the meeting commenced
shortly before noon. A protest by
Maj. Hyde was sustained, over the objection
of Mayor Grace, which aption
threw out entirely the vote polled in
Club 2 of Ward 10.

FOR ARMY AND NAVY
Washington, Oct. 15.?The administration
programme for national defense
to be recommended to the forthcoming
session of congress proposing
a total expenditure on the army and
navy next year of about $400,000,000
virtually was completed last Friday.
Secretary Garrison's plan, approved
by the president, calls for an increase'
of $75,000,000 in the war department's
annual appropriation, to be used for
augmenting the regular army to 140,000
men and the creation of a new con
tinental army of 400,000 men, which,
together with the militia of 125,000,
would give the United States a mili'
a'-y force in time of need of 065,000.
ABOUT HOSPITALITY
AT COUNTY FAIRS
It is suggested by some one who is
informed on the subject, that in order j
to make the greatest success of a fair,
the town should arrange to get its
peop'e to throw open their doors in
hospitality* during the festivities. How
can it be expected that a few hoarding
houses could take care of the
large crowds who might not spend the
night and the next day in the face of
having to spend a night on the
streets ? This friend suggests that:
nertt year a movement be started to1
get the people of the town enterain all
1 of the good people they can and thus
keep the people here after they arrive,

FOR HORRY COUNTY
Following a Meeting at the
Rooms of the Demonstration
Agent.
Following interesting talks last
week by Dr. W. K. Lewis of Columbia
and Dr. C. Hedly of Marion in the
rooms of Horry County Demonstrator
Wall on the use of the dipping vat for
eradicating the cattle tick, the following
men formed a temporary organization
to be known as a County Stock
organization in each Township in the
County: G B. Jenkins, W. A. Freeman,
J. A. McDermott, Hon. D. A. Spivey,
Col. C. P. Quattlebaum, P." M. Coleman,

McCaskell, State Rep. E. S. C. Baker,
and County Demonstrator M. W. Wall.
The following officers were elected
temporarily: President M. W. Wall,
Vice President F. G. Holliday, Secretary
R. O. Hanson. For the State Dr.
Lewis offered construct suitable
dipping vats where material is furnish
ed, and also to furnish the dip and an
inspector free of charge to see that
the stock is properly dipped. Arrange
ments are being made to put in several
vats at once in various parts of
the County. At the next meeting of i

and discuss the advisability of arranging
for the purchase of some pure

This seems to be a move in the right
direction as Dr. Lewis predicts the arrival
of the Boll Weevil within two
years, and expressed the opinion that;
the tick will be eradicated by Scptem- i

THREE BIG MILLS
CLOSE FOR TIME
Shut Down at Graniteville
and Vancluse Causes
Surprise.
The Graniteville Manufacturing
Company, operating two cotton mills
at Graniteville and one at Vaucluse,
both in Aiken county, have temporarily
suspended operation on account of
financial difficulties. When the mills
closed Satui/Hay afternoon of last
week the employees were notified that
the mills would remain closed indefinitely.
This action caused surprise through
out the section. The three mills employed
about 1,500 people, and there
s.re in Graniteville and Vaucluse probably
4,000 dependent for living upon
the mills.
It is understood that the creditors
of the mills, as well as the stockholders,
are actively at work in an effort
to resume operations. *

DISCOVERER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Now York.?Friends of Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary, discoverer of
the North Pole, congratulated him today
upon the fortunate termination
of his first flight in an hydro-aeroplane
which ended in a volplane into
the water off Long Beach, L. I., from
a height of 1,200 feet after the engine
had stopped in midair.
Rear Admiral Peary said: "1
thought it was all part of the game
when we started to come down. 1 had1
I
not the slightest idea there was any-1
thing wrong with tho machine."
The explorer made the flight yes-;
terday with Frank H. Burnside. The |
machine rose steadily to 1,200 feet
when the magneto became disabled
and the engine stopped. Burnside
made a perfect spiral volplane to the
water and a motor boat towed the
disabled hydro-aeropb.ne to the shore.
Asked how lm would like to make a
trip to the North Pole in an airship
the rear admiral replied:
"That would ue fine in the summer
time.

DUSENBURY-PLATT 1
NOTABLE WEDDING
Charming Young Lady of Con- i
way Weds Popular
Young Druggist.
On last Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 |
o'clock, October 19th, 1915, at the
Kinston Presbyterian church, Miss
Mary Cornelia Dusenbury was married
to Dr. Vivian Francis Piatt, in the
presence of one of the largest congre
gations that ever assembled on that
historic spot to witness such a ceremony.
The wedding was beautiful in
its simpicity, its solemnity the most
touching. The interior of the church
was never more beautifully and
a.'-il ?n._ ?
uruHiicauy decorated. It was
a rentable flower garden, and
this work, which was accomplished on
Monday and Tuesday must have taxed
the skilled hands and trained minds
of sereral of Conway's ladies, who
know what they are doing when engaged
in the work of decorating. The
interior decoration was truly a work
of high art but its splendor was hieghtened
by the scenery out-side where
stately oaks waved their ancient,
moss-clothed branches to and fro ih
i the gentle breeze as the minister pronounced
the solemn word? making^the
happy coup'e man and wife. No more
beautiful or romantic spot could be
found in ah the South for a wedding
ceremony. The color scheme for the
interior decorations was green and
yellow. The altar was banked with
palms, ferns, golden rod and other
flowers, and this presented a natural
flower garden that would have deceived
the eye of the closest observer.
Before the entry of the bridal party
the soft strains of Schubert's serenade.
played by Miss Sadie Dusenbury
on the piano, assisted by Mrs. J. A.
Norton and Mr. Grady Tisdale on.^he
violen, floated out through the window?
and doors of the church, reminding
all those who heard them of sunny
days and happy contented life. The
ribbon bearers, little Misses Emmaline
Dusenbury, and Eugenia Wood
Norton, dressed in pure white, opened
the aisles of the church as they came
and led the bridal party. A solo, by
Mrs. Norton, "My Dear," followed,
and this was sung in the sweet soft
tones of her well-trained voice. Following
this, the Rev. J. M. Lemon,
pastor of the bride, and the Rev. E. L.
McCoy, the groom's pastor, entered
the church and took their places near
the altar.
Then at the first sound of Lohengrin's
bridal chorus, the bridal party
entered the church in the following
order: ,
The ushers: Messrs. Jack Bryant
and Olen Watson along the left aisle,
and Messrs. M. W. Wall and Edward 1
P Walsh along the ripj\t aisle:
Mr. L. D. Magrath and Miss Nora
Lee Vroman entered and passed along
the left aisle; Dr. J. II. Monts with
M iss Dorothy Officer along the right
aisle. The brides maids each wore a
gown of white embroidered net with
picture hat to match. <
Miss Frances Cordon Dusenbury, <
maid of honor, entered along the left i
aisle followed by the flower girls, 1
little Misses Eugenia Anderson and ?
Estelle Burroughs, both of whom carried
baskets loaded down with golden !
rod and flowers. The groom entered <
on the arm of his brother, Mr. Charles 1
,11. Piatt, of Mullins, S. C. 1
The ring bearer, little Miss Kath- i
lone Anderson, carried a basket of 1
flowers bearing tho ring on a bed of <
white chrysanthemums: 1
The bride entered with her father, i
Mr. Charles Dusenbury, formerly of <
Conway, but now of Lake City. The :
bride wore a blue travelling suit with <
hat to match and carried a large bou- s
quet of white chrysanthemums. | i
When the entire bridal party had
assembled at the altar "Offenbach's <
Barcarolle" was rendered by the choir i
while the ministers pronounced the <
words and the vows were taken mak- <
ing them man and wife.
The bride and groom left here immediately
after the ceremony for a
wedding tour visiting Atlanta and
other points before returning.

rHIRD ANNUAL FAIR
COMES TO A CLOSE
Mter Entertaining Some Large
Crowds on Last Three
Days
EXCURSIONS BRING IN
FROM OTHER SECTIONS
The Free Prizes to Holders of
Lucky Tickets W pTf*
Drawing Cards.
The 3rd Annual Horry County Fair
came to a successful close last Friday
afternoon at the regular closing hour
of 5 o'clock. The fair was a success
owing to the strenuous efforts put
forth by the management to make it
fully as good if not better than those
going before. During the fair excursions
were run from Georgetown over
the Waccamaw Line of Steamers, and
over the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company, from both Aynor and Chadbourn.
Resides these special excursion
schedules, the regular schedules
brought in large crowds for the fair.
The excursions however emptied large
crowds here during the days of the
fair such as never came to visit the
fair here before. The visitors were
good people and they added to the enjoyment
of the fair by showing that
they appreciated what Horry County
had to show.
On Wednesday one of the days was
the giving away of a Free Sewing
Machine to the holder of the lucky
ticket. The fair building was crowded
to its utmost when this was announced.
It was one of the regulations
that the holder of the ticket when
,1 * ? - -
in it w n must uc on tne lair grounds
and announce his ownership of the
number. This machine was won by
Mr. J. 1). Booth
On Thursday the following prize in
order was a range offered by the business
men of Aynor, S C. The management
of the fair at Conway made
this "Aynor Day" on the program in
appreciation of the enterprise and pub
lie spirit shown by the business men
of that growing little town. The crowd
was larger than ever on Thursday
when the giving away of the range
was announced at noon. This range
was carried off by the winner, Mr.
Gerrald.
The carnival shows were not as
good as usual. Before opening the fair
a contract had been signed with the
proprietors of a large carnival, The
Smith's Greater Shows, to come here
during the week. At the last moment
this concern backed out of its contract,
having been offered another QUr
gagoment out of which they thought
they could make more money. The attractions
on the mid-way then had to
be made up by the secretary, Mr. J.
\V. Little, from such concerns as he
could get. Enough was finally secured
to make the grounds entertaining
end the grounds were visited at all
times after the first I**?
... KVl
crowds Dent on having a good time.
The merry-go-round was secured from
some owners of one at Southport, N.
C1. The machinery had been stored at
Southport for some time and not in
use. On the trip over here one of the
main cog wheels in the driving gear
was broken in two and there were
jther items of damage while on the
railroad. Those mishaps tied up the
machinery in the shop for a day. It
lid not run well for quite a while
ifter the equipment had been placed
mi the ground. They finally got in
shape, however, and managed to do a
rushing business for several days.
The management of the fair expected
to have Governor Richard I. Manning
to deliver an address on Thursday
of the fair. This he had to decline
on account of engagements elsewhere.
Then an effort was made to
get him down here on Friday which
also failed. The crowds in the city on
Friday the last day of the fair were
as large if not larger than on the d*JT
before.
Friday the last day of the fair was
perhaps the most interesting in event*
