LARGE QUANTITY OF
MATERIALS LET OUT
Still Captured Complete With
I Caps and Worm And
k Confiscated.
^ onornt .J. A. Lewis and John T.
Proctor, deputy marshal, made a successful
raid on whiskey stillers just
across the line from this county last
Saturday morning. The section in
which the still was located is about
three miles beyond the North and
South Carolina State line near Calabash,
N. C. Careful plans had been
laid for trapping the parties.
When the officers got there the still
had just been fired up and ready for
^ operation. In some way the two men
who were runing it, one of them
known to be Spence Bozeman, ran
away from the still before the officers
could catch them and made good their
escape. On the ground at the still
were found 250 gallons of what is
called molasses beer, this being the
stuff which is first allowed to ferment
and then used in making rum.
The officers also destroyed six tormentors,
things used for fermenting
the stuff. The still was captured com
plete with the cap and still worm and
was confiscated by the officers. It is
saiTl'that this still has beeir iti operation
for some time and that a quantity
of blind tiger whiskey was sold
through that section from the still.
^ The officers will arrest Bozeman and
the other man if they can be found,
and they will no doubt be brought to
trial sooner or later.
PLANS FOR HOME
DEMONSTRATON WORK
To the Women of Horry:
The Home Demonstration Work is
being carried into all the homes of
our State. We began the work with
the ??irls, now we are anxious to have
k the women take a part in our work.
Mrs. Dora Dee Walker, Assistant
^ State Agent was in Horry two days
c recently in the interest of the work
among the women and will return to
our County soon to assist in any way
she can. She is organizing the women
all over the State, having al&
ready organized more than 2000 in
1 the counties she has visited, the women
everywhere receiving tin* work
HP with enthusiasm.
J 1 am hoping to meet many of you
in the different communities during
the coming month, so we can organize
and plan our studies for the year.

GERMANY RESENTS
SLURS ON BOYO-ED
May Protest to United States
About Recent Legal
Proceedings.
Washington.?The German ombasy,
according to information to day from
an authoritative source, resents the
accusations understood to have been
made against Capt Karl Boyd-ed, Ger
man naval attache here, in the trial
in federal court at New York of officials
of the Hamburg-American line.
It was said Ambassador von Bernstorff
was preparing to file a vigorous
complaint with the State department
at the conclusion of the trial,
i asking at least for something in the
nature of a retraction and possibly
for an apology.
The German embassy, it is understood,
has not yet decided what form
the protest will take. A copy of the
stenographer's report of the remarks
of government counsel and the testimony
given at the trial is understood
to have been ordered, so that embassy
officials may know exactly what was
said in the court room. <
Doesn't Bike Phrase.

i m; c-uiutibsy is particularly anxious
to determine ^whether Capt Boyded
was included by inference or otherwise
in the reference made by Assistant
United States District Attorney
Wood to the defendants in the case as
"riding roughshod over the laws of
the United States, treating them as if
they were scraps of paper."
SMALL CHILD GOT
- A BROKEN THIGH
L. D. Long Jr., the small son of
Mrs. R. G. Long of Conway jumped
off the runing board of an automobile
near his mother's residence one day
last week, and the machine passed
over the child's thigh causing a bad
fracture of the bone. The car was one
belonging to Sheriff J. A. Lewis, and
the car was being driven out from the
garage by his chaffeur, Willie Herrin.
The little boy kept jumping on
the running board of the car as it
passed out to the street. When in the
street, or about to turn into the street
the child jumped off the board in
front of the wheels. The child was
taken to the Burroughs hospital,

SERVIANS HOLDING
LESS OF TERRITORY
Grip on Native Land Loses
Bit by Bit Under
Pressure
i
The strip of territory held by the
Servians along the western edge of
their national domain has grown notably
thin under the steady presure of
the Teutonic .lilies. Along the northern
end of the line the Austrians have
cleared the region of King Peters
troops for some distance to the South
west of Mitrovitza, while the Germans
have advanced across the Sitnica
river and occupied the heights on
the left bank, across the Kossovo
plain from Pristina.
in tne south the Bulgarians are reported
by Berlin as having crossed a
line runing through Stimlia and
Ljubeten, the latter place being about
20 miles east of Prisrend, which lies
close to the frontier. Stimlia is directly
north of Ljubeten. The Bulgarian
drive seems to threaten the
complete shutting off of a Servian retreat
in a southerly direction except
through Albania.
In southern Servia there are signs
of renewed activity on the part of the
forces oposing the Bulgarians. According
to an unofficial report, the
Servians have recaptured Krushevo
20 miles west of Prilep and some 2f)
miles northewest of Monastic. Servias
allies may be able to give her substantial
help in the area soon, as it is
reported that 125,000 troops have already
debarked at Saloniki and that
allied forces are landing there in
large numbers.
Athens reports that a new collective
note has been sent to Greece by
the ministers o fthe entente allies, out'
lining measures which it is declared!
Greece shall take in conformity w
the preliminary agreement. A consultation
between King Constantino and
i
Premier Skouloudis and a cabinet
meeting followed the presentations.
On the Gallipoli peninsula the
Turks have been on the offensive on
land and the allied forces on water.

OFFICIALS EXPECT
NEW DISCLOSURES

for Revelations of Great
Importance as Result of
Arrest.
"Washington.?New disclosures rivaling
in importance to those which
led to the prosecution of Robert Fay
in New York are expected by the department
of justice, as a sequl to the
arrest of C. C. Crowley in San Francisco
in connection with alleged plots
against munitions factories. Officials
of the department, however, refuse to
discuss Crowley's case, or predict to
what it might lead.
For the present the department's
bureau of investigation is using every
precaution to keen its nnvf

arrests are looked for within a few i
days.

Red Cross Seals.
The work of the Red Cross Seal
Commission of South Carolina has
been so successful so far that an additional
order for 100,000 seals has
been wired to headquarters. Already
400,000 seals have been received at
the Commission's office in Columbia,
and will be shipped to towns over the
State and placed on sale from
Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Up to date one hundred and thirtysix
public spirited persons have vol-j
unteered their services in placing the]
seals on sale in their respective towns!
Columbia has given an order for 150,-1
000 seals, and hopes to make no less!
than a thousand dollars by this means'
for anti-tuberculosis work in the city.
The agent for Conway is Mrs. M.
W. Coll ins and the seals are on sale
at the leading stores of the town. All
citizens interested in the movement
for stamping out tuberculosis in our
State has an opportunity to assist in
this work by purchasing Red Cross
Christmas Seals.

BRITAIN CONCEDES
AMERICAN DEMANDS
Yields to Representations for
Removal of Restrictions on
Neutral Tobacco.
Washington.?The British government
has yielded to the American
representations for removal of all re-1
strictions on the shipment of tobacco
to neutral consignees in neutral countries,
wort! reached here today from
the Amerinan embassy at London.
The British embassy sent the following
message to Secretary Lansing:
'"ldie foreign ollice informs me that
the British governor nl agrees foi*
the present not to interfere with the
cargo of tobacco shipped tc neutral
consignees in neutral countries
and states that in these circumstances
tobacco in all its forms destined for
Holland will not longer bo required
to be consigned to the Netherlands
Overseas trust."
The removal of the Brtiish restrictions,
protested against by representatives
of tobacco producing States,
relieves a situation which resulted ir
overstocking of the tobacco warehouses.
Scarcjty of ships to handle
the product and high freight rates
now confront tobacco shippers.

DRAINAGE LAW VALID
SAYS JUDGE PRINCE
Tries Case Concerning it In
Calhoun County With
The Result
LAW WAS ATTACKED
ON CONSTITUTION
Matter of Interest in Horry
Where Uusing" Law Has
Been Attempted.
Several years ago a law was passed
by the Legislature of this State providing
for the formation of drainage
j districts in this State. Under this
law the citizens in certain sections of
this county (Horry) attempted to lay
out the districts, hut in each case th?
district was defeated in one way or
another. Tin* i_~?.
IUSI,
week from St. Matthews will therefore
be of interest to our readers. The
despatch from St. Matthews says:
A decision that will be of great intrest
to those counties in the State
which are interested in the new drainage
laws was made by Judge Prince
yesterday. Judge Prince held that
the law was not unconstitutional but
declared for its validity. The question
presented was that under the
scope of the law as now given, it was
equivalent to establishing and increas
ing the bonded debt of the conunuitv*
ties in which it might operate in a
manner which was contrary to tho,#
constitution. The new drainage law
is invoked in a way similiar to the law
which allows the levy of taxes upon
abutting owners on streets in towns
[ and cities, where the required number
of holders has subscribed to the petition.
Judge Prince held that the levy
authorized was not a tax but an assessment.
His decree setting forth
his reasons in detail will be filed with
in a few days. The suit is entirely
friendly and is for the purpose of
clearing the way to sell the securities.
The matter will now be appealed to
the supreme court for a final judgment.

NOW CORRECTED
A recent news item in this paper
concerning; the wedding of Mr. J.
Osby Cartrette, the Aynor hanker,
stated that the bride was Miss Minnie
Harris. The item was made up
from information gathered by our reporter
who certainly stated that the
bride was Miss Harris. This was a
great error, for the bride was Miss
Morris of Homewood and not Miss
Harris. Miss Minnie Harris is the
charming daughter of Mr. John F.
Harris and is teaching school at this
time at Rehoboth church near Aynor,
S. C. The Herald believed it had the
name right, and the person who reported
the item to the paper had no
intention of doing wrong", but nevertheless
the Herald publishes this correction
in order to keep the record
st"aight and regrets the occurrence
which may have caused embarrassment
to several parties, all being of
very high standing in their respective
communities.
