FALSE REPORT IS OUT ON GOVERNOR Right of Women to Vote is Another thing- Here to Stay With Us. Mr. Editor: I fell like I ought to wiite a fc.v tilings in a general way. The pri- j mary is over and so far as I konw ! everything is settled but some re- | ports are being circulated which is likely to cause confusion and bad! feelings. It has been reported that I I gave Mr. Mishoe a check for ono i thousand dollars to pu.t the stock law on Horry County which is a lie of some one's make. I know not who. It is also being reported that /lov. Cooper has ordered a stay ofI Che execution or that the law will 1 not go into effect until th< Legi -lature meets. This is also false. I j know Gov. Coop' r we'l enough to know that he is not a Kaiser to try to make and execute laws. His business is to see that the laws, are obeyed and he is not going to tell anyone to disobey them. ' Now just a word in regard to Mr. , Carter. It may be there were two injustices perpetrated on him. In the first place tlio free ran^c broth-J f?rs did him an injustice in indue- I iing him to get into politics. We liave plenty politicians hut not enough >>; eaehers. I have been reliably ir.formde that Mr. Carter is 51 g ?od man and he was expecting pomeone to keep him posted. But probably the Lord intervened and caured him to forget, so he would not be messed up in politics as his services were needed worse as a preacher. I say this with all sin- j "A cerity. Now just a word to our lady, folks. I am sure the good women of our country were not anxious for the ballot, but the time has come when they have the privilege | of voting, and that is . another j one of those things that is here to stay, and if the good women do not vote there will come a day whe n pome one will regret it. There arc some Jaws which some society women would like to see repealed, and if the good Christian , women do not get }ready and vote, 1 the time will come when society will j ^ ? 'l s* vva A. f ? tvt %?AO /It? I Ml.' II l/OJJ, aim ivyi*vr? ?kic i v t* ijr to say it will be so anyway. While it might be so for a little while, but I don't believe it. < I Christianity is here to stay and our good women will soon wake up , and begin the fight in time to save the day. A. D. Jackson. ? 4 V ? , * ROBT. F. HARRELSON. *> Robt. F. Harrelson, of the town of Loris, was born March 3, 1962, and departed this life at his home on September 15th, 1920. His re-1 mains were laid to rest on the fol- [ lowing day in the Hardee burying, ground, in the presence of a large host of relatives and friends. He j had been in failing health for some , months, he having had paralysis for j two or more years, and had been ; confined to his room. The funeral services were conducted in the M. J3. Church, of which he was a member, by his pastor, Rev. Mullinix. In 1891 he married Miss Fannie /Eutrill. This happy couple lived j together I'or ten years, when the Lord called his wife to reap her reward. Tie was married the second time in November 190U, to Miss Mary Stevens, who still survives him, also the following children to mourn the loss of an affectionate father: Lillian Harrelson, William, Phillip, Robt. Jr., and Allard. He was a loyal member of his church, and very devoted to his wife ami children. Not a better neighbor or citizen livde in our town than he was. Let us not mourn as those without hope, but may we live such lives that we may meet him on that other shore. ?A FRIEND. o FOURTH CLASS POSTMASTER EXAMINATION o The United States Civil Service Commission has announced an examination to bo hold at Allen, S.

The baby was very young and had boon mutilated by birds, and perhaps other things, so that it was impossible to tell wlvefehoY it wis white or colored, although Magistrate J. I. Ward, who held the inquest. states' that. in ii?"o ? ... Hi.- <.?f i in iun iu was white. Inman also discovered that two pieces of plow casting: had beer. tied around the neck of the infant.
