His Relatives From Marion Say
He is About as Before?Exi
pect Him to Be Discharged
(
In our last week's issue it was
stated that jYlr. C. E. Lovcll, a far- ^
mer on the Adams farm near Conway,
had been examined tinder lun- ,
acy proceedings and that later ho <
had been released on bond in the ]
hands of relatives, and that he would
be taken to a specialist in nervous ]
diseases. This was the disposition i
of the matter as the Herald understood
it at the time the recent item
i was written. Later it developed that
' applicatiin had been made by the
Judge of Probate to have Mr. I?vell
committed to the State Hospital, and
the application had been acted upon
and an Attendant came from Columbia
last Wednesday to conduct Mr.
Lovell to the Hospital.
The Judge of Probate was request <
ed by Mr. Lovell's relatives to allow
him to go back to his home after he
should be treated by a specialist, or
perhaps without any treatment if it
appeared that he was entirely normal
on the day that the attendant arrived
to take him to Columbia. His relatives
from Marion County state:!
that they could sec no difference In
nis condition from what it had be?n
for the past ten years or longer, and
^ there were others who seemed to
have some d^ubt that Mr. Lovell was
insane in such a way as to make L
necessary that he should be confined
at thci hospital.
After considerable time spent in
Conway by the relatives of P?lr. L vell
in an effort to keep him at home,
they decided to let him go along to
the State Hospital and bo examined
there by the doctors, and they state
that thoy expected he would be discharged.
Lovell claims that he was arrested
on Saturday night before last, without
any warrant, by Constable H. N.
Sessions. He states that no reason
was given for his arrest, that he wa,;
taken at night in Conway, and that
the Constablbe knocked around with
Jum for sometime about the streets
and finally took him to the County
Jail and left him with the jailer.
!Lovell says that he had shot a hog
which belonged to him for the reason
that he found it impossible to keep
the hog out of his crops. The hog
could not be kept in the pen and he
lulled the hog after deciding that it
was the best thing for him to do in
order to save his crops and stated
that he v<ould do this again under
similar circumstances. He also said
that he thought the entire trouble in
the community was caused by some
idle talk among negroes and als
some white people, and that they ha !
no authority and no real grounds for
the tales that they had told. Accord
ing to what he says there was no
real ground for having him confine I
as a lunatic. On the other hand, in

WANTS NF.W STATION.
Tlic Conway Chamber of Comlorcc
has figured out the fact t' at
le Conway Railroad station sends
way from here an average of sevnteen
carloads of freight every
ay. In the opinion of these busiess
men, this is a very good reason
diy Conway should have a better
ail road station and should have the
ailroad tracks removed from Man
trcet, and especially as the amount
f freight carried away an I brought
i is constantly increasing. The
entiment among the bu iness men
1 Conway for sometime has b^on in
avor of some action being taken tc
btain a new railroad station at Cor
ray, and in connection with thai
latter to get the tracks moved fron
Iain Street to some other section o

CHAUTAUQUA LECTURES
OH AMERICANISM
The purpose of our Rndliffc C' an
tauqua this year is to tell the story
| of the United States Government
! and its ideals. ri'hr?
? ..V V l? 'u II I U1 tllU
adoption of such a progiam is apparent
when one considers the condition
of national unrest, an 1 th 4 com
mittec in charge of the Ra Icliffe
Chautauqua programs, in Washington,
I). C., has decided that a thorough
understanding cl' the l'unda
mental principles of Aiv.ei icanism is
j necessary to the p ope.r adjustment
j of the many pn hi ms troubling u>
j today. A large number of speakers
! have been secured for this purpose
and three are a signed to each Chau
tauqua. The Chautauqua Director
will lecture 011 the second day, but
there will be a different speaker f r
each of the other two days, and the
probabilities are that the following
1 men will bo assigned to us:
Dr. W. T. S. Gulp, of Cleveland.
lecturer, educator and author.
Dr. Wcntworth Stuart, of Massa1
chusetts, educator and lecturer.
These men are all splendid speaki
crs, and have had a great deal of
l experience in public work. They
; come to the circuit directly from a
; conference at Washington, D. C., and
! their lecture alone will be worth the
1 price of the season ticket. The goo 1
1 which ought to result from the pre?
sentation of this Americanization
l program here cannot be estimated
; and it is hoped that every one in the
1 community who can possibly do so
: will arrange to attend all of the
Chautauqua sessions.?adv.

US AUTOS INCREASE
ACCIDENTS MULTIPLY
Jnless More Caution is Used
By Both Drivers and
Pedestrians
MR. J. S. BEVERLY
HIT BY MACHINE
He Received Only Slight Injuries
But Instance is Cited
Showing- Need of Caution.
Nothing appears to be increasing *
any faster in Horry County just
now than tho use of automobiles.
Anyone can tell this any day by
watching the number of cars parked
along Main Street and the principal
Avenues leading away from Main
Street. There is more and more a
great need of caution on the part of
the drivers, as the number is constantly
increasing and other traffic
increasing, the likelihood of accidents
is greater, as proved by the
accidents which have already occurred;
and without great caution
and the observance of Town Ordinances,
these accidents will increase.
Last Friday night, the streets were
full of machines, and Mr. J. S. Beverly,
while attempting to cross the
street, was struck by a Ford mmrhino

Alexander, of the Burroughs High
School. Mr. Beverly received only
slight injuries and was up and about
the same as usual the next day, but
this instance shows what may occur
unless the drivers of automobiles
and the pedestrians on the street
are careful.

SOLDI EMS EXEMP ONLY
WHILE IN SERVICE
There seems to he a lot of confusion
among people as to whether
oldiers have to pay taxes or not.
According to some reports, exsoldiers
are exempt from taxation,
recording to other reports, this only
ipplied in the year 1918. The Herald
las decided to state what information
it can afford from the Statutes
"or the information of the p:ople.
The only law that we can find in
South Carolina about the matter of
axing soldiers is the Act of 1918,
vhich provides that persons in miiaiy
or naval service of the United
States shall be exempt from commutation
road and street taxes durng
the time they are in such service.
The law dees not exempt them
"rom other kinds of taxes, and they
ire not exempt from road or street
axes except during the time that
hey arc in actual service.
About 90 per cent of the comrrtadties
used in the American homes,
ire purchased by women.
