Editor Herald: ,
I notice in the Herald of the 8th

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

the Legislature disregarded

they should welcome and ap- I

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.

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." |

that this year there will be no
Clubs which do not meet and duly
organize. ~*>Notices

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.
O. Davis of Horry County. Mr. Davis
reports that since the stock law
was passed he has had a great many
e.uestion about livestock and pasture*
and has distributed a number of bnlUtins
on these subjects. He is work
ing now with five pasture demonstrators
in the county, this number
A . t- 1 * * * "
tj do greany increased during the
year. Such demonstrations will
make clear to farmers what can be
done with pastures in that county,
lie is also inducing and aiding an.
r any farmers as possible to start
new pastures this year so as to have
them in good shape for next yegr
when the new stock law becomes affective.
