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.

RUNS FOR MAYOR
In this issue we have the card of
Hon. J. A. McDermott, announcing
his candidacy for the office of Mayor
of Conway. No man in thi? section
is better known to the people of both
the town and county than Mr. McDermott,
who has been engaged in
business pursuits at Conway for
more than twenty yoars. He has in
the past filled the positions of Clerk
01 the Court of Common Pleas and
treasurer of Horry County. He han
also represented Horry County in the
State Senate. He has had experience
as a public servant which
fits him for the position he now
stands for.
O
RESOLUTIONS
Atlopted by the Conway Civic
League.
September 20, 1910, death entered
our midst and took from us, one of
our most earnest and faithful members,
Miss Belle Powell. We wish to
opress to her relations our deepest
sympatny.
Resolved, that we assure her loved
ones that we sorrow with them, foi
wt loved her too, and we shall always
remember her as a noble minded
Christian who constantly set as a
good example by her faithful uses.
O 'IM. -1- 111 !
? i niiii we snan miss her wise
counsel, her ready sympathy and hei
keen interest, but most of all her
simple, quiet, pure, noble example of
Christian living.
3.?That as a Civic League, we
have lost one of our most earnest and
enthusiastic members. There is a
vacant seat which will ever remind
us that one who loved our work is
gone. We expected much from her,
though her membership with us was
short. We miss her for what she
would have done for us.
4.?That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family, and to
each of the county papers.
Respectfully Submitted,

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.
