Editor Herald: , I notice in the Herald of the 8th inst., you say the Stock law, passed Bat the last session of the Legisla. turn continues to be a subject of great interest among the Farmers. H am not going to discuss the merBits of the stock law or of the free range at this time; but as you sp.y, t is reported that the, slate is alHready written, that they intend to prnd H. K. Cook to the Senate, and Hferemiah Smith and Waterman H8ooth to the House. Will you be Hcind enough to inform us who has written the Slate. I have not heard H>? any representative body of Horry Hdtizeins assembling, though it would Hrreate no great surprise if the pcoBple should take such action to correct 9wha4 they regard ns discrimination Btgainst Horry County, by not allowing her the same right of local &e1fI cvernmont, that is allowed other ^pounties v/hich are exempt from the HiLack law, just as Horry was, and Rpow. when the people indignant, and Hj^nraged at being denied the right of VLettling their own local affairs by Hpre Ballot, this depriving us of the Kright of suffrage in this local matin^ which no one but* Horry citlBa?ns are interested, but the Slate Quaker now assumes the right to dicthe delegation, which will be ^Hrocctcd to harmonize everything [without even consulting those so [Hiatcd so far as 1 know. 1 cannot JHpeak for Mr. Cook or Mr. Booth, 1 IKut I can say for piyaelf, I shall not ^[eriously consider any Slate except 1 i- 1- i? _ T? o?,i.. ijuuue oy a xvupifnymanvf ouvi^ e humiliated and outiaged citiof Horry County. But as the c y Delegation is sensured for the n c law being forced upon Horry c 1 say it has been conceded ever ? we have had the stock law in State that it should not come in i y without a vote of the people, t if they used all the influence \ had to maintain the conceded t legal right of their constituents c Exemption from the Stock laVv; \ the Legislature disregarded as representatives of Horry, I they should welcome and ap- I ite a general, indignant upris- c tory that says one turn deserves 1 1 our Representatives, as such J tpression of the people would t sate them. On the other hand i ?y acquiesced in the passage of f iw then they deserve rebuke f ught not complain if they are- C :ised. I /ou publish Hie above you will i ?Jeremiah Smith. April 10th, 1920.

GEORGE SELLERS IS BOUND OVER For Trial at Approaching Term of Court of General oessiuns. MAGISTRATE HOLDS PRELIMINARY HEARING Cnly Three Witnesses, Including the Prosecutrix, Are Examined by the State. Magistrate W. H. Chestnut last Saturday granted a preliminary hear ing in the case of The State vs. George Sellers, who is in the county jail charged with criminal assault upon a white girl of this county. The warrant alleges that the crime was committed on March 28th, and in addition to the crime of attempted assault, also charges that the house of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lowri. more was broken open by the defendant. At the preliminary only three witnesses were sworn on the part of the State, these being the father and mother of the prosecutrix and the prosecutrix herself. One element in , the testimony was the tracks which the witnesses for the State claimed were the tracks of the defendant, , both going to the place where the house was stated to have been broken and going away from the place after an outcry had boon made. The place where the crime is alleged to have OCCUttfed If* on the | farm of Mr. W. Herbert Lowrlmoi'6 in the Cedar Grove community. After hearing the testimony of the three witnesses above mentioned the magistrate stated that under the law in relation to the making out ofya probable case by the State, he would have to bind the defendant over for* trial at the next term of the court 0 : General Sessions. The defendant vaa sent back to jail and is there still awaiting the" efforts of his at" torney to obtain an order for bail from one of the judges of the Circuit Court. In cases of this kind the magistrate is not allowed by law to giant bail and it is only a judge of the court of General Sessions who can pass an order allowing the defendant to make bond, Quite a number of " people from that community were in Conway last Saturday morning to hear this invesItigation; but under the law the 1 Magistrate excluded all of the spec tutors from the court room except the prosecutrix and those immediately interested in the case. This case is expected to go before the grand jury ,at the next regular term of the court of General Sessions convening here on Monday, May 24th. MARION DISTRICT S. S.

We want to thank all those who so kindly assisted us in our recent trouble in the loss of our wife and mother. Their sympathy and help will never be forgotten by W. H. Cook and Children. PRINfSCORECARDS FOR USE OF HOTELS Score cards for the use of restaurants, hotels, and public boarding houses are now being prepared by the state board of health and wi'l soon be in the hands of the hotel inspector who was recently elected by the state board of health. The score cards carry six different heads, and under each head there are several subdivisions, each of which will be scored after inspection by the officer. The first main head has to do with the sanitary condition of the office and lobby. The {second has to dc with the public wash rooms, and the third with the kitchen, fourth with the dining room, fifth with the | bed rooms and sixth with "general I features." I T4- i.. ? :i-i- ... jlv m (iu^iuiu ior a notei to score J 000 point > which would indicate perfect sanitary conditions. The kitchen carried a total of 465 points, the other heads a lesses number of points . Under "general features" are grouped such items as fire escapes, milk and water supply, disposal of garbage and .sewage and other items. By a casual glance at the score card, a hotel guest can determine what degree of cleanliness and sanitation is maintained by the 11 oprictor. The score cards are to be displayed in a conspicuous place in the office or lobby, and may ens'ly be seen by every one who goes to the hotel. The inspector will go over the hotel and enter on the card the scores made on each separate item, and at the bottom of the card will enter the total number of points scored. At the bottom of the card are the words ' Patronize places that protect you." | mi. - v.A-i " inv notei inspection act was passed at the last session of the legis-1 lature and is intended to protect the health of the traveling public. r- ??e . # ' i # i N0 52POLITICS WARMER AS SPRING ADVANCES Notices Sent to Democratic j Precinct Clubs to Meet and Organize , ALL CLUBS MEET ON APRIL 24TH Elect Officers and Delegates to County Convention Convening Here May 3rd. Elsewhere in this issue of oor paper will be found a Notice, given I by County Chairman E. J. Sher vood, notifying all of the Democratic I'recinct Clubs to meet at their reI spective places on Saturday, April I 24th to elect Officers, Executive com mitteemen and Delegates to the j County Convention. The County Convention will meet I at the Courthouse in Conway, on , Monday, May 3rd, to elect Officers and Delegates to the State ConvenI tion, which will assemble in CoI lumbia on Wednesday, May 19th. Mr. Sherwood, the Couuty Chairman, stated that he was giving Noj tice to the Precinct Clubs earlier than usual, for the reason that, heretofore, a number of the clubs, for one reason or another, had failed to meet, which handicapped the community in its representation before the Convention; and he hopes that this year there will be no Clubs which do not meet and duly organize. ~*>Notices have been sent out to the Piecinct Chairman, but any Club which has lost its Chairman, by death, removal or resignation should ixt semble, nevertheless. The Clubs, on assemblying, wit! elect a Precinct Chairman, a Secretary, an Executive Committeeman (who may be one of the other officers or a different person), who will be a member of the County Executive Committee, and a Committee of three as an Enrollment Committee. The Club will also name Delegates t< the County Convention; the number of Delegates being one for each twenty-five members, or a majority fraction thereof, based upon the num her of votes polled at that Precinct ,it the first Primary of 1918. The County Chairman stresses the necessity of an active Enrollment Committee, whose duty it will be te see, when the new Club Books are issued, that each person gets hfci name on the Club Roll. u MOVES TO HENDERSONVILLJR* Power W.

NEW STOCK LAW BOOSTS HORRY LIVESTOCK WORK Clemsor College.?A good illustration of the beneficial effect of the Tttw stock law bill passed by the recent Legislature is to be found in a r<cent report from county Agent W.

He is work ing now with five pasture demonstrators in the county, this number A . t- 1 * * * " tj do greany increased during the year.
