FALSE REPORTS
SINCE PRIMARIES
t
That Jackson Paid Thousand
Dollars to Mishoe Last
Winter
. 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repealed, and if the good Christian ,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.

, * 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.

The Secretary of the Horry County
Fair Association, Marion A.
Wright, who is also Secretary of the
Conway Chamber of Commerce, has
succeeded in getting the assurance
| of a Submarine Chaser, with a regular
navy crew, and a commissioned
Officer in command, to come to Conway
not lat. r than Nov* mber 9th.
i to remain during the Fair. This
war craft will prove of great interest,
especially as she resembles the
Destioyer in minature; has a search
light, modern signaling out-fit, wireless
telegraph, and one of the new
wireless tclephom s. The presence of
this boat here is expeectcd to help
the Fail and perhaps the United
States Navy. It has been found impracticable
to send any of the Destroyers
hero for the Fair, as stated,

who commands the Destroyers in

No Effort Will be Spared to
Have House Ready For
Coming Season.
The Chamber of Commerce of
Conway has taken up again with
much zeal the matter of a prize
house at Conway for the tobacco
season of 1921. The sum of $8,000
was subscribed not long before
the opening of last season but was
he-kl over at that time as the time
was too hsort. The amount the busi
ness men nope to take is the sum
of $15,000.00, or more. There Is
strong hope that the Chamber of
Cmmerce may be able to raise
this money at an early date and
thus make the erection of a prize
house a certainity.
Sheriff J. A. Lewis was kept
very busy last week getting; up matters
in time for the court this week.
Horry County has already had
one storm on the cotton crops of
1920. There may come another.
Every cotton former should pick out
his cotton as rapidly as he can,
and in this way keep the storms
from getting it.
Miss He lie Jordan was in Convray
last Saturday accompanied by one
of her girl friends.
Among those visitinb Conway la^t

DEAD BABY FOUND
BY W. I. INMAK
Where it Had Been Drowned
in Waccamaw River
Last Week
MAGISTRATE WARD
HOLDS AN INQUEST
Authorities Will Investigate
But 110 Parties Arrested
as Yet.
\Y. !. lnman, while hunting" a lost
I eat which had gone adrift in the
Waccamaw River, last Thursday, September
23rd, found the remains of
a drowned baby, floating in the ,
water, at a point between Wortham's
Kerry and Mulberry landing; at a
place known as Flat Landing: Slouch.
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.
Inman went to the homo of
W. L. Permcnter before bothering
the 1 ocly, and Perns enter went with
Inman and J. Si ' Hellamv t > the
place. They decided to call Matzist>ate
.1. !. Ward, wl o ac'ed as Coroner
in holding an inquest, but the
testimony taken by Mr. Ward disclo
es rothin^ more than the facts
above related, or those in substance.
The jurymen called to pass on the
cause o; death were M. M. Fennelt,
F. G. Hardee, W. O. Inman, J. J.
Halks, U. iFennel! an ! H C.
Stanley. Artor th^v heard the testimony
of Inman. Bellamy and Permenter
tFVy found a verdict whie-h
read as fellows: ''That the said
infant was drowned by unknown party
or parlies by hanpeintf two pieces
of iron around the said' infant's neck
and then thrown into the liver; t<>
the jurors unknown, efc?.'*
li anpears that Dr. ^ ^ +
- ^ v. k
was also a witness at the inquest,
as he had made an examination and
testified that the infant. was
drowned by means of pieces of iron
about its ncck.
No arrests have been made in
the matter, so far The Herald
has boon abl ? to Irani, and it is
thought that further investigation
will be made by the authorities. It
is said that more than one party
wilf be implicated very likely, but
no names of any suspected criminals
are given out yet.
