G. THOMP: SENATOR H. L. BUCK WILL NOTRUN A6AIN The Herald learns from good authority that Senator Hal L. Buck will aot stand for election again to the office of State Senator from Horry County. Neither will he be in politics at all, that is, he will not fill any public office, after his present term t>f office has expired. The reason why the matterv has come up for attention and creating interest just now is because the Legislature convenes the second Tuesday in January when Mr. Buck will be on hand in Columbia to attend Ic his duties as Senator during the last session of his term. During the time that Senator Buck has filled this position he has been very active in the intrndn<?M??r? many U'gP lU* I tive matters to meet tlie changing I conditions of Horry County. He was I especially instrumental in providing | the machinery for a new form of County Government, especially relating to the public roads and the making of better roads in many parts of the County. Many friends of Senator Buck will be sorry to learn that he will not stand for re-election. o .Just received one car load Mules, one car Buggies, one car Wagon Come to see us before you buy Aynor Live Stock Company.?adv It BOLL WEEVIL MEETING.
