SHIELDING SHADOW DATE POSTPONED We published last week the fact that we had secured rights to publish the new serial by Randall Parish, "The Shielding Shadow," nad that it would begin in our issue of November 23rd, on the same day that "Gloria's Romance" will end. The Shielding Shadow is a moving picture serial, and up to a few days ago it was understood that the Casino Theater could secure tthe films of the story for running at the theater beginning the Tame date that we announced last week, viz: November 23rd. It now develops that moving picture shows all over the country have been so keen to secure this production, that the first week tthat is >pen to be sec1 .red by the Casino, is the night of December 21.st. After consultation with the theater man, we have agreed to put off the hecin ning of this now story until Thursday, December 21st, unless it should later be possible for him to secure the films sooner than that. Unless we give notice of an earlier date, our readers may expect to read the first instalment of this latest novel in our issue of December 21st, and this first instalment will appear in moving pictures at the Casino on the night of Thursday, December 21st. It is a great story and we ask all our readers to wait and watch for it. REUNION OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS On Tuesday, November 14, there will be a reunion of the Confederate Veterans of Horry County at the old Court House building in Conway, at 11 a. m. It is desired that a roll of the remaining veterans bem ade at this meeting, and it is important that all be present After the meeting we | will march to the fair grounds and hear the address of. Governor Rich' ard I. Manning. Let every one remember the date and be present at th appointed hour. - ?S. S. Sarvis, Sr. J. A. M'DERMOTT RUNS FOR MAYOR In this issue we have the card of Hon. J. A.

BUSINESS OF COURT ENDED ON THURSDAY After Going Over a Number of Matters on Jury Dockets MANY CASES ARE AMICABLY SETTLED Witnesses and Jurors Leave For Their Homes on Thursday Evening. The Court of Common Picas came to a close here on last Thursday evening. It was nearly night before the odds and ends of a week were cleaned up and the judge was able to leave the court room and depart for Marion by way of automobile where he took the late train for his home. The remaining cases on the roster not disposed of on Tuesday and a. part of Wednesday reported in our last issue, were called in regular order and either tried or sotHrwi the parties without hearing. Many of the cases were threshed out between the parties themselves assisted by their attorneys. While a number of cases were disposed of in this way, still there was not much difference in this term and all others, for it is usual for a great per centage of cases to be settled on the eve of trial. On Wednesday the court pro ceded with the case of Socastee Joint Stock Co. vs. S. S. Owens. This case was started on Tuesday just after the recess hour. The defendant was rej>resented by W. C. and L. B. Singleton, and the plaintiff by H. H. Woodward. The plaintiff was suing for a balance, due on book account and the jury returned n verdict for the full amount claimed by the plaintiff. It was a tedious trial. In the case of George L. Marsh vs. A. P. Johnson and W. P. Watson, the plaintiff was represented by E, J* Sherwood and the defendants by L.. P. Singleton. It was a very short atrial and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff for about all he claimed. against the defendants. A consent verdict was taken in the case of ft, M. Hardee vs. McKenrd^ Strickland and others, It concerned a land line and the plaintiff was conceded to be entitled to the line he claimed after the surveyors had passed on the meatter. The case of J. S. Bellamy vs. B. N. Gore Co., was continued until another term. One of the most interesting cases tried was that of M. N. Blanton Sr., and Jonathan Blanton vs. John to. Williams and Polly Williams. The plaintiff was represented by H. H. Woodward and the defendants by Hon. R. B. Scarborough. This case Was brought for trespass and injunction really to test the title between the plaintiffs and defendants. It resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs. Judgment was rendered in the case of Standard Oil Co. vs. N. Mosely. The case of Stanley Barnhill vs. Emma C. Barnhill and Orilla V. Kirtor. was called as the last to be heard for the term. The parties were able to agree upon a compromise of the quesitons involved and there was no trial. The plaintiffs were represented by Norton Baker and the defendants by H. H. Woodward. The case of Edge vs. Edge was marked heard on the calendar, and will be decided later by Judge Smith. The case of Dusenbury vs. W. O. W. Lodge was continued until anothp) torm nf v*. Vii^: VV/lll V? Other cases not here mentioned; if any, went over till the next tOrm'of the court. o The famous American aviation corps of the French army probably soon will lose officially its distinctive title, as a result of protests to the state department that use of the name is not compatible with American neutrality.
