j As Promised This Paper Has
Secured the Very Best
Story
I
ALL HUMAN EMOTIONS /
REPRESENTED IN IT
Love, Mystery. Adventure and
Thrills in Plenty For
You Soon.
This paper aims at the best for its
readers all of the time. Having been
in the county paper business for upwards
of fifteen years, we are glad
to be able to say that during all of
that time the interests of the readers
of the paper have always been taken
to heart. Since the time when we
began the practice of publishing serial
stories for the amusement of
its readers, we have tried our best
t o hi 1 y the rights for the most interesting
we could find after close examination
and careful study of the
characters and the plots. If we made
a mistake at any time it was not the
fault of the heart but merely of the
head (which of course, according to
some people, perhaps, has been rather
empty at times during all this
period.)
However, we feel sure we have
made no mistake this time in selecing
for our next serial story the
novel by Randal Parish entitled
"THE SHIELDING SHADOW." It
will begin with the first instalment
in our issue of November 23rd, 1916.
There is plenty of plot, a happy mixture
of love, adventure, mystery, all
the way through; and it is something
that will interest every reader of the
paper to keep up with the misfortunes
and trials of the beautiful
daughter of a great family forced by
family to marry a rich man she does
not love while the poor boy she really
cares for is thought to 'be dead,
but who subsequently comes to life
again. There is mystery in plenty
all the way through the story.
The story will appear week by
week at the Casino theater here beginning
Thursday night, November
23rd, 1916. Each instalment as it
appears every Thursday in the Horry
Herald will be shown in films on
Thursday nights at the theater of
McQueen Quattlebauni. The pictures
are produced by the Pathe moving
picture concern. One beautiful ac
tress, miss tirace IJarmond, and two
of the most talented actors known in
the world, Leon Barry and Ralph
Kellard, are the principal players in
the story on the screen, but there are
other actors and actresses engaged
in it who are unknown to national
fame.
We want every reader to enjoy this
wonderful serial story. If you happen
in Conway from the country on
the evening when these films appear
at the Casino, do not fail to visit the
show and see them. Those who live
in Conway and near-by towns will be
certain to keep up with both the
novel in the paper and the shows at
the theater, for they are a people
who like a good story and a good
picture.
Wait and watch for the opening
instalment on Thursday November
23rd. If the companies keep their
contracts the story will surely appear,
as will also the pictures,

One of the big events was the 1
agricultural parade which was headed
by a giant boll weevil.
Dr. Brdaford Knapp, head of the
United States farm demonstration *

visitors in Columbia. He is well

The advance carried prices $7.90 a j

' The strength in the late trading r
yesterday seemed to attract many ,
overnight buying orders, and the demand
was further stimulated by the

the outturn would amount to less j

figures placing the total at 7,291,000 j
bales seemed to increase confidence j
in bullish estimates of the crop. ^

Notwithstanding a small attend- ^
ance the Society had a very interest- ^
ing meeting on last Wednesday the

Hotel, the usual place for its meetThe
vital subject of "Illegal Prac- c
tice if Medicine" was the leading
theme of this occasion. The matter c
was fully discussed and remedial .
measures suggested for relief. r
The Society is determined to put,
itself on record as standing for hign ^
ideals, and placing the lawful prac- j.
tice of medicine on as noble a plane
as it is possible for it to do. Then it ?
pioposes, for the protection of the j
public whom it serves and its own

credentials on noticec that they will ^
be responsible for their actions as .
prescribed by law. I

FOES OF PRESIDENT
STICK AT NOTHING
Long Branch, N. J.?That the opposition
to his election is "scrupling
U nothing" in statement of fact and
policy was the charge made by Presisdent
Wilson in a speech at Shadow

at a joint celebration of
'New York day" and "Woodrow Wilson
day."
"'What are we to say," he asked,
'of the patriotism of men who take
idventage of a crisis of the world,
when the fortunes of men hang in
mcertain balance, when the peace of
Lis great nation can be maintained
>nly by the most thoughtful and considerate
means, to settle a question

1ST LYCEUM NUMBER |l
WAS WELL RECEIVED
The first lyceum number of the ^
season given under the new management
and under the auspices of the
Conway Civic League, had a large
attendance last Tuesday evening at
the Pastime Theater. The management
was apparently well pleased
with the receipts.
DECLARECRIME :
IS ON INCREASE 1
Buffalo, N. Y.?Crime is incrcas- s
ing, as is shown by overcrowded ^
prisons throughout the country, and (
the facet may be traced in large part ^
to tho influence of the European war, e
according to the report of the com- y
mittee on discharged prisoners, pie- j
seated by F. Emory Lyon, chairman, ,
to the American prison Association j
ax its congress horo
? t
After discussing the efforts that
were being made to provide friendly ?
guardianship of discharged prison- (
crs, as well as those on probation or }
parole, and pointing to the need of c
still further cooperation, Mr. Lyon
said: c
"Meanwhile and doubtless in part N
because we have not approached the ^
question from a sufficiently thor- i
ough-going standpoint, crime is increasing.
This is no idle assertion,
such as has been made several I
times, but rarely justified, or verified.
Until the past two years, as a
matter of fact, there was little if
any, evidence that crime was increasing
faster than the natural increase
in population. The 'count' for our a
penal institutions has remained about fc
the same for nearly a generation. v
"But within these two years, near- t
ly every prison of the country has be- \
cop\?* crowded. One State in the 8
Middle West has a thousand more r
convicted felons today than it had y
two years ago. The prison popula-11
tion of other Statse and of the fed-11
eral institutions have similarly in- s
creased. If it were not for the fact1 v
that some 10,000 men in the different g
States are at work upon honor farms | v
and at road making the overcrowding; t
would be more apparent than it is. lCauses.
"One may cite numerous indirect ii
causes for this increase. There is the p
continued like of home training and n
control; the absence of vocational
sducation; the insufficient facilities d
for recreation, and the general un- t
preparedness of youth for the responsibilities
of life. v
"A larger contributing factor is
found in the intermittent employ- ?
ment and limited wages available to 1
the average unskilled workman.
Worse still is the chronic condition
of unemployment which has prevailed
until within a few months.
"A still more striking cause of the n
increase in crime, in the view of a
many, is to be found in the great Is
war. With a dozen nations at each b
others' throats, destroying life and c
property at an unprecedented rate, t<
can there be any other result than the c
lessening of the sacredness of human h
life, and indifference as to the im- n
portance of material values? If the C
average citizen becomes more callous c
over the accounts of human slaugh- ti
ter, what of the slightly less than e
norri al, more easily influenced, and s
less alive to the higher sensibilities 1

V...VIUUICU 111 iruiu'ui standards : |i
"The war, therefore, with all its 3
other burdens, is doubtless bringing v
its harvest of crime in all countries, C
and this harvest will continue beyond j d
the present generation. |
"With this growing problem be- ^
lore us, therefore, and becoming
more immediate and menacing every
lay, there is need for all the wisdom P
and consecration of individual citi- tl
7.0ns, the efforts of all agencies ap- e
plied at every step and for the active u
application of all principles of pre-^t<
mention, and the utmost efficiency c:
r>f systems of correction." p

I
Tried at Aiken on Whiskey
Charges.
Sheriff J. A. Lewis returned from J
Viken the latter part of last week
vhcre he had been summoned as a
vitness in two whiskey cases before
he United States court. W. O. Anlerson

sTorth Carolina, but later of Simpson
}rcek township in Horry County, this
iitate, were both charged with violaion
of the federal laws in relation to
listillinK* storing and selling of inoxicnting
drinks. The offense
harged against Anderson occurred a
/ear or two ago, in 1914, it is said.
An* some reason the warrants were
lot issued very promptly. Both
Hirties were charged with having ,
>perated in Simpson Creek township.
Anderson was convicted and was
sentenced to serve three months in
he county jail at Dillon, S. C., and to
;ay a fine of $o00.00. Ed Lo; g wao

IAD SOME TROUBLE
IN GETTING MASON:
<
By far the hardest portion of the j
team heating plant at the new hotel
tuilding to get finished last week
vas the tall brick stack to carry up
he smoke and gases from the two
lercules steam boilers. This stack i
itarted in the basement on the southen
side of the building and was ta:en
up against the main wall of the
wilding to a point a few feet above |
he parapets. One mason was finally I
ecured to undertake the job. He',
worked four days and lost his nerve,
ent for his tools and quit. Another *
/as procured at some expense and *
rouble to finish the top section by .
ast Saturday noon.
The radiators had all been placed *
n position and the first fires were *
?ut in the boilers last Saturday
light. ]

CIVIL JURY TRIALS
IN COMMON PLEAS
Court Convenes .on .Monday
Morning for Trial of
Civil Cases
SOME CASES SETTLED
OTHERS ARE CONTINUED
The Court Not Crowded as at
Criminal Terms of General
Sessions.
The court of Common Picas convened
here last Monday morning for
the Fall term, Judge Mendell L.
Smith presiding. Judge Smith accompanied
by Stenographer Covington,
arrived in town last Sunday
night and the court was opened at 10
o'clock for the trial of cases.
The usual crowd attending the
criminal terms were not here, but
there was a considerable number of
people in town interested as witnesses
and jurors, as well as some who
came on other business.
The case of Sarvis vs. Todd was
settled out of court.
In the case of Minnie E. Johnson
and others against J B. Valley, Hugh
Floyd and others, was compromised
to the satisfaction of both sides to
the contention.
Emma J. Holmes vs. C. L Williamson,
involving the tile to a tract of
land was continued owing to the enforced
absence of a surveyor.
Brown vs. Conway Lumber Co.,
was continued.
The above stated matters wound
up all of the cases set for Monday of
the court.
On Tuesday morning the cases not
lisposed of on Monday were called
>ver.
The case of Williamson & Brown
L?and & Lumber Co. vs. Mullins Lumber
Co., was compromised and served
by a consent verdict.
Bee Dee Stock Medicine Co. vs.
Jordan was continued, sa was also
:he case of J. S. Bellamy vs. B. N.
Tiore Co.
The case of Watkins Medical Co.
7s. Singletary was laid over till later
n the week.
At 3 o'clock on Tuseday afternoon
,he court took up the trial of the case
>f the Socastee Joint Stock Co. vs.
3. S. Owens. The plaintiff sued the
lefendant on a book account for fertilizers
and other goods sold and deivered
during the years since and
ncluding 1914, and claimed a balance
>n this account. This case was still
xxupying the time of the court on
Wednesday.
The present term of the court of
:ommon pleas has been remarkable
or the great number of cases comjromiscd
without gonig on with the
edious work of a trial and considerititon
of a jury.
Judge Mendel L. Smith, who was
limself a distinguished practicing
awyer for many years, encouraged
his plan of disposing of cases, statng
to the jurymen that while they
night feel so long as they did not
litderstand it that the court was dong
nothing, that really a great deal
lad been accomplished and much
ime of the court saved.
C, M. HUCKS PAID
THE FINE IMPOSED
At the last term of the Court of
Jeneral Sessions, C. M. Hucks was
ried on a charge of disposing of
Top under lien, and upon the jury
inding a verdict against him; Judge
dendel L. Smith imposed a sentence
>f penal servatude, this to be sus>cnded
upon his paying the jdebt
imounting to $104.00 due to George
f. Holliday, the prosecutor, and upon
>aying the further sum of $50.00 to
ecover the cost of the court, within
t certain time fixed in the sentence

The debt and cost was recently

Dourt. i
