ROBERT CARTER IS , SERVED WITH NOTICE His Selection Questioned For Lack of Filing Expense Account t' , k BLANTON OF FLOYDS GETS UP PROTEST Matter Created Interest Following the 0aiming' of First Primary Excitement Much interest was created last Friday when the plurality vote was received by Robert Carter in the first primary selectng him as one of the four to run over in the second primary, was protested by Mr. Blanion, Floyds Township; notice of this being served on the County Chairman and Mr. Carter being sent lor to come back to Conway and answer it. The ground of the protest is* that he failed to file a sworn statement of h,.s expenses a, the / close of the County Campaign and before the day of the election. Sec- ' tion 363 of the Crimnal Cede of this State requires such a statement t') be filed and makes it a misdemeanor to fail to comply with it subject to a fine not loss than $100.00 or more than $500.00, or imprisonment for not less than on > month, or more than six months or both fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the Court; and the law further provides that a failure to ^ file such a statement renders such election null and void in so far as the candidate who fails to file the statement is concerned. It appears that Mr. Carter failed to file this required statement and he is required to answer to this 1 1 ' * 1 ' ' - i ai" gallon neiore me ^ouniy committee. 'I his article is bcinjr wrttten cn Saturday, September 4 th, and at this time it is not known what action the committee will take when it meets on Monday September 6th. | In the opinion of several attor- ( neys, who expressed themselves on 1 the subject, the election as to Mr. Carter, is null and void, owinj? to his failuVc to file the statement, and he cannot participate any further in the primary election because if he were to continue in the race and receive a majority of the votes in the second primary, vet his election hejntf void, he could not take his seat 1 in the House of Representatives. ( The law requires this statement 1 to be filed not with the County Chairman, but with the Clerk of the j Court. i | | FARMERS ARE MEANING BUSINESS Four thousand South Carolinians declared Wednesday that they would not sell their cotton at prevailing tnrietlii- ad?r?fc#?d nl?n<c fr?v fnrmo tion of an export corporation with a capital stock of one million bales, pledged themselves to retire 25 per cent of the new crop from the market and agreed to reduce the acreage of the 1920 crop by 33 1-3 per cent.

Millions of dollars are said by officials to be involved in the cases which, it was stated, would be instituted in both criminal and civil courts in various 1 sections of the country. Most of the prosecutions will be started, department officials said.' as a result of information received | from the war department. Other gov- ' ernmental departments are under- I stood to be planning to request court j proceedings against some of the con- | tractors With whom tVv hnvo rlonlt The contracts on which prosecu- i ti^ns will bo basod, it state 1 at ' the tb pnrtmert of justice, include ! acrreerH>nts for the furnishing of various kinds of war supplies as well as for the construction of oamns, ! cantonments and warehouses used by the army during the war. It was predicted 'bv department official* that manv of the ^ontro- ' versus involving "honest mistakes" on nart of the contracting firms probably would be settled out of court. * \Vv. - ,K TO* '? ? * * ?

The Herald has been requested by a number of people to publish the exact wording ot the Act of 1920, making the stock law of force in Horry County beginning next January. It is a matter of givat interest co the people as of course, it is well known that free range advocates elected to the Senate will endeavor to get Ihis law repealed and they can only do this after the present law has gore into cftYct. Following is the exact wording of the law: "lie it .cna led by the (1 neral Assembly ri tie State of South Carolina: rl hat un ami after January 1st, i0*21, it .hall be unlawful for the ov: o manager of an\ horse, mu'e, ass, jennet, swine, siie. p, goat, or ao;. ca. !e of any descriptirn to wi1 ul'y p rmi. the said animals, or an.." c* them, or any other domestic animal to run at large beyond the liniic.- c.
