FAVORS THE PLAN
OF PEACE LEAGUE
New York.?Theodore Marburg, of
Baltimore, formerly United States
minister to Belgium, at a dinner given
by him here to members of the League
to Enforce Peace, told of an ini
"fcjjnview he had with Sir Edward Grey,
iti wnicn me ormsn toreign minister,
(said he .was wholly in favor of the
plan of the League to Enforce Peace.
This proposal is that a league of the
great powers be formed at the close
of the war in Europe to guarantee a
lasting peace by pledging the use of
their joint armed forces, together
with, economic pressure against anysignatory
nation which shall refuse to
keep its agreement to try arbitrational
methods before beginning hostilities
or declaring war.
Would Have Pi evented War.
"Sir Edward Grey," said Mv- Marburg,
who recently returned from Europe,
"expressed the opinion that if
some such plan had been in operation
when the present war was threatened
the war would not have occurred. As
the attiude of England would greatly
influence the action of her allies, the
view of Sir Edward Grey will carry
great weight when the terms of peace

BRANTLEY BURROUGHS
DEAD BY DROWNING
Death of Son of Mr. and Mrs.
Burroughs Shocks
Community
WAS BEYOND DEPTH
NO EXPERIENCED HELP
His Body Remained in Water
Over Two Hours After
Drowning.
The community was shocked last
Thursday by tno accidental drowning
of young Brantley Burroughs the son
of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Burroughs. He
was about the age of fourteen years,
the accident occurred in the Waccnmaw
River, near the site of a spot
known as the dynamite house, midway
between the ship yards and Glass Hill.
He was bathing in the river at the
time and was not a good, swimmer.
Getting hcyond his depth he was assisted
for a time by another small boy.
The small boy was not strong enough
t?> pull him out of the water but on
the contrary was being pulled in himself
and had to give it up.
On the opposite side of the river
there was another group of boys in
the water. These were just going out
when they noticed the trouble on the
other side. One of them went to aid
the unfortunate boy, but he had gone
down the last time and diving did not
discover his body.
The news reached the streets ami a
large crowd of people went to the
scene of the drowning. Boats were
brought and the body hunted for with
j ?
urags and poles in the hope that he
might be raised in time to restore His
lite. This was not successful at first,
and the body was not recovered until
after about two hours searching;. It
v;as then known that it was too late to
revive him.
The deceased was a bright boy. He
had the reputation of being very obedient
and was industrious. His death
cast a gloom over the town. The interment
took place at Lakeside cemetery
on last Friday at 2 o'clock.
DIPPING VAT DONE
AT LITTLE RIVER
A new dipping vat was completed
at Little River, and was put into use
on May 9th, under the supervision of
Dr. C. Hedley. A great crowd gathered
to see the first demonstration
which included the dipping of about
forty 1 ead of cattle. The vat is owned
at the present time by Moore
Thompson, L. F. Bryan, J. A. Stone,
and W. H. Stone. They will dip cattle
regularly every two weks. Those who
wish to dip their cattle may do so at
the price of fitfy cents per head per
season.
FIRE IN WOODS
AGAIN ENDANGERS
Woods fires in the suburbs of Conway
again endangered buildings last
week, when it broke afresh in the
thickets and grass in a wooded section
lying west or southwest of the colored
Methodist church. Two or three houses
caught but were extinguished. By
stringing out new fire and raking
around the fences the damage was
averted If ?* 1?
... *v iit?u not ocen looked
after promptly, the fire might have
found its way into the main residence
section of the town and there is no
estimating the damages that it mi|$htr>o
have ensued. v0n-j K-n *
This latest fire is thought to have
icme from the smouldering heaps of
rubbish somewhere that burned when
the fire was out two or three weeks
ago. The rubbish and stumps of
trees were left without being extinguished
completely and thus the f^re
spread again.
