UNUSUAL STORIES ARE \ CAUSE OF ERRORS # 4 Regarding Minor Facts Related About Socastee Mystery j , ,in last Week's Issue L 0? v n i i Billing to correct all errors made Efforts Were Made to Get the M Exact Facts For Paper's Readers. The Herald published in last week's issue all of the information that the paper could gather regarding Mrs. Mary Newton's mysterious disappearance; also such information as was available concerning her ' family and in fact anything that the paper could gather which was believed to be of any interest to its readers. The attention of the Editor has ' been called to some inaccuracies appearing in the leading story as published last week; and which errors came about mainly on account of a misunderstanding of the exact location of certain places and similar facts. The Herald has been asked 10 make these corrections and it is glad to do it, as follows: It was stated in 1 the leading story published last week that Dick Cox was sixteen or eighteen years of age. It appears that lie is not quite that old. He was only ' thirteen years of age on September 25th, 1918. It was also stated in the article last week that Dick Cox drove an ox cart down to the beach on that Sun- | day morning. It appears that the cart was not complete and is what is called a dump cart, that the tilting body had been taken off and therefore, the cart consisted only of the ' t-xle, wheels and shafts. It was stated among the items concerning the matter that Dick Cox and Rufus Graham had stated that j they went to the seashore that morning, while it had been proved that they did not go to the beach or words to that effect. This item appeared as the result of several stories told in Conway, and which apparently wore truthful, that these parties had told different tales about where they went. They did go to the seashore as they said they did, and this cannot be doubted as Dick Cox showed .1.1 l. a i i 11. ine cuii UTUCKS uuiti gumg unu fuming aci*oss the sands. The place of the seashore where they went that morning is known as Pvatt's Swash. The small lake known as the Dick Pond is about two miles away from that. Nearly everybody had it that these parties went to the Dick Pond that morning and not to the seashore. Pyatt's Swash, where they actually went, is not a pond but is a kind of a creek in the marshy land very near the Atlantic Ocean. In the article published last week if would appear that Rufus Graham I lives on Mrs. Hattie Turbeville's property, which is near Socastee bridge on the public road leading from that place to Murrells Inlet. This came about by people here know ing of only one Turbeville place, while, in fact, there are two. Rufus Graham lives on the old Turbeville piace, later known as the Van Turbeville place, and this is located three miles from the Murrells Inlet load and two miles from the Myrtle Brach road. There may have been some other lr.inor inaccuracies in the news items as they appeared regarding ages and distances or like matters, but they arc not esteemed of enough importance to mention hero. o Governor Cooper, received recently twenty seven telegrams irom various parts of the State, including Charleston urging him to call an extra session. t : 14 , t TRESPASS NOTICE. i ' All persons are hereby forbidden to enter or trespass in any manner upon the estate lands of M.

I Columbia, April 8.?At the big cotten convention here last Thursday the following resolutions condemning all farmers who refuse to reduce their cotton acreage were adopted. "Whereas, The movement for the reduction of cotton acreage and for better marketing conditions for cotton as a product is intended to and will bring about the commercial independence of the South and all the blessings incidental to that independence and "Whereas, this movement is likewise an effort to secure from the burden and toil of labor the women and children of the South who for more than half a century have at the expense of education and culture been the victims of cotton, and "Whereas, it appeare to those men interested and connected with this movement that some of our farmers * * 1 M * ? arui business men nave iaueu ana refused to take the stand with their fellow fanners, and "Whereas, it appears that a classification of those objectors is to be as follows, namely, "First, those who have heretofore planted about 12 acres to the horse :>f cotton and consider themselves A'ithin the escope of this reduction without any further reduction, Secmid, those who through the failure if previous movements decline to enter this from lack of faith in its success. "Third, those who trust that the il'spensation of providence will send stonns to destroy the crop of their fellow fanners, thereby enhancing the value of their own. "Fourth, those who from purely selfish motives refuse to enter into this movement and reduce acreage and for their own maintain their present acreage with an increase of fertilizer or increase acreage, having full faith in the success of the movement and believing that their neighbors having reduced their acreage the price of cotton will be greatly enhanced and that they will doubly benefit from the increase of acreage at the expense of their neighbors. "Now, therefore, be it resolved that we call upon our people in this crucial period of their history to have that faith in each other and in the country that will so materially aid in making the movement a success that those farmers who refuse to reduce acreage cannot be benefited for refusing but will realize that this is a business proposition and that in order for cotton to maintain a substantial price or advance the supply must not exceed the demand and to the extent that it is less than demand ! that extent will we obtain a profitable price and this can only be | brought about by a production of less cotton than heretofore produced. "Third, that we remind the providential farmer that the rain fall ? ahke on the just and the unjust; that the dispensations of providence do not know geographical division sections, and that we must be the victims of a double calamtiy and that we fully endeavor to get the people to realize that the South must have prosperity or adversity as a whole and not as a State. t "Fourth, that we condemn in the strongest terms possible as a slacker with all the meaning that the term carries in times of war and in timeof peace that farmer or businessmar who willfully refuses to reduce hit acreage and fertilizer thereby hopinf to prosper and enhance his owr wealth at the expense and as a bene fjciary of the sacrifice and unusua patriotism of his fellowman and tha we call upon our citizens through out the State to create that degree o public sentiment which will visi upon the head of such an oflfende , the greatest degree of contempt an* community ostracism which is aiv ought to be bestowed upon those wh have proven themselves worthv o the respect of their fellowman." o "Cold In the Head" . to an acute attack of Nasal Catarrh.

HORRY IS NOW AHEAD. ] In the opinion of business men of . other sections of the country visiting Horry County, there is no section of I South Carolina in better condition I financially than our own. It has not I een very long in the past when busi- 1 ness men outside of Horry County I considered that our County lacked much of being in as good financial I condition as some other counties in 1 some parts of the State. This condi- 1 tion has changed and apparent every 1 day not only to us who live here but 1 t> outsiders who come here. The 1 number of farmers who have good 1 bank accounts would surprise any- S one who made the investigation* 1 Nearly the entire people are in fine 1 shape financially and otherwise even I after the European War which threw 1 things into confusion. j/*' m liftoff"corns! a !
