CROP STILL LATE !"
OWING TO LAJE START
Cool Weather of Last Wefck
Minimized Heavy Rain
Fall Damage
The Horry tobacco market went
through last week on an upward ten
clency until toward the last oi week.
Until about Thursday the cheaper
grades brought better prices, per
haps tvyice or thrde times as much
in many instances as they did the
week before. Bright grades of
leaf went up on most of the days'
of last week, but not higher than
the bright grades brought last season.
Thft quantity s^ld on the Conway
Market last week also increased,
number of farm :\s bringing
^ cobacco was greatly increased.
There did not appear any sign of
crowding as was the case last year,
and it is still hoped that such a
condition will not develop again t,his
year.
The crop has P>een late in maturing
and was nut off still later by
the cool weather of last week. It
is generally thought that the co ;1
weather last week prevented injury
from the recent rain. If the sun
j liad come out very hot last week the
tobacco leaves would have been
burned up.
It is uonerally- thought that the
selling season will last longer this
year tK'in last owing to the lateness
of the crop. The buyer Tor the impel
i.?l Company was not on the
market the first week. He was
here last week anc this may have
been responsible for the higher
prices received the first of last
week.

HAIL STORM DOES
DAMAGE TO CROPS
Farmers in Jordanvllle Section
Hurt by Hail on
July 25th.
The hail storn that visited this
| section of the State on the night
| of Sunday July 2oth, so far as reported,
did the most damage L? the
[neighborhood of Jordanville. The
| cotton plants were damaged but it
I is thought that the plants will re|
cover. The damage by the hail to
| the tobacco in that community wa*>
J much heavier. Some of the plants
| had but one or two leaves still
i hanging on the stalk. In many instances
it is said that the farmer^
will doubtless gather the broken
leaves and cure them but would not
likely get much more than the cos*t
of feathering. Among the farmers
who were damaged by this had
storm are the following:
J H. Martin, W. H. Richardson,
D. G. Martin, I. T. Cook, R. D. Jordan,
H C. Lundy, D. H. Moore, D.
M. Cooper and J. D. Edwards.

HARD SURFACE RESULTS

Hose Purchased to Use in

Sprinkling Streets From
Every Hydrant
The Town of Conway has ordered
eighty tons of c in shed stone,
tcvy small size, known as screen*
I in lis. The onlor w?s nlaro/1 tV?rr><? i
or four months ago and the jnaterial
is expected any day. Thy have
also ordered a quantity of coal tar
application which will be used in
connection with this stone. The idea
is to place the screenings of stone
over the surface of the street and
then apply the oily preparation with
it, thus making a hard smooth surface.
.
In addition to remaining in position
mych better than clay and sand,
this material will keep the dust
down. Of course, this quantity
cannot be sufficient to go very far
over the streets, but it is enough
to show what the material will do.
As soon as it gets here, Mayor Magrath
intends to have it placed, and 1
it will be tested out. In the opin-!
| ion of some, it will be about equal j
to paving.
The town has also put in equipment
for sprinkling .the streets.
Hose has been bought of the proper
size that will sprinkle a larger
stream over a larger space. Sufficient
hose has been bought to
place one at each hydrant and it is
stated that a man can sprinkle the
entire business portion in from one'
to two hours. This will be used
| whenever needed. j

HUSBAND AND WIFE
HAVE BAD FIGHT
Husband Indicted by Wife for
Assault and Battery Intent
to Kill
HUSBAND INDICTES
WfFE AND OWENS
Charging Like Crime With
Knife and Owens as Accessory
Before the Pact
Christine Johnson, wife of Wright
W. Johnson, appeared in Conway
last Thursday and swore out a warrant
against her husband, charging
him with assault and battery with
intent to "kill.
rpi
i nis warrant was the result of
a family row which took place on a
rented farm somewhere in Galivants
Ferry. The place is rented by Mr.
Mack Owens and the Johnsons live
on the place. Wright Johnson had
made arrangements to plant tobacco
at another farm more than a mile away
before* his recent marriage to
Airs. Johnson. His wife was a
widow at the time of the mariiage
and had about four children.
I The husband, Wright W. Johnson,
j can.o here last Satui day and prei
pared to take out a warrant far
Christine Johnson and Mack Owens,
charging the former with assault
and batterv with intent to kill, w th
a knife, wYiich had been furnished v
| to her by the other defendant,
charging in the warrant that Owens
was accessory tefore the fact.
The claim yf the husband is, that
he returned to his home on Saturday
.night, and that his wife v.as
away, and* returned late at night
and raised a racket with him, so
that lie slept on some quilts
nearby, until Sunday morning; and
when he started to put on his shoes
she picked up one of them, and attempted
to b*?at him with it, then
threatened to kill him, and drew
this knife on him. Johnson showed
a cut in the side of his par.ts, about
three inches long, which he Says \
was made by one swipe of this
knife, and says that he shoved her
, aim asKeti ner not to come
back on him with the knife. He
states that she came back on him
with the knife and that he knocked
her down and then held her until
Mack Owens came-into the house;
and that he commanded Owens to
take the knife out of her hand.
This ended the row for the time
bring and Johnson did not, know
that she intended to take out a war
rant for him until it had been
actually done.
It is claimed that a physician
was called to Mrs. Johnson who reported
that there was a fracture in
her cranium. Nevertheless, she recovered
from the affects, and was
| out 'on the day that she took oat
the warrant.

The county campaign opens a^ain
next Monday at Greenwood. They
will run on through next week as
