TWO MORTGAGES COVER PROPERTY With Also a Third on The Plant of Bottling Comoanv r"" - s WILL SELL OUT UNDER MORTGAGES Date of Sale is Fixed for July 22nd?Notice is Posti ed Up 1 * .t\ " The Herald in its last issue gave the newa concerning the Conway CocavCola Bottling Works in a somewhat? indefinite way regarding theforeclosure of some mortgages against the; property. Since then more definite information, has been received and it appears from the records that there is a first mortgage against the entire plant hold by C. T. Sloan of Marion, S. C., for the total sum of $20,905.09, payable in installments each year with a provision that the whole amount becomes due in case of the failure to pay any one of them when due. There was an installment of more than $2,* 000.00 maturing on July 1st and the property was seized by the mortgages since that date. The records show that there is a second mortgage for $1,500.00 to the Planters Bank, an in stitution located in the town of Marion. There is a third mortgage covering: the plant recently recorded from the concern to Peoples National Bank for $1,400.00 due at sixty days from date. All of the mortgages above mentioned cover the entire plant of the Company. The Company purchased two lots of land at the sale of the estate lands of W. R. Lewis, one of the lots for $1,050.00 and the other for $6,550.00, this last having on it the brick building next door to the store of Harry Lewis and in which the plant is contained, while the other lot lies next to it and is vacant. Mort* gages were executed for two-thirds of i the purchase money of these lots but | the second one-third has matured s;nce that time and been paid to the Clerk of the Court. C. T. Sloan holds a second mortgage to that given to the Clerk of the Court against both lots for the sum of $20,905.09, and the Planters Bank of Marion has a third mortgage covering both lots L for $15,000.00 There is a notice posted up at the Courthouse door here advertising the I plant for sale on July 22nd at the i usual hour in the forenoon, and this notice is signed by W. F. Stackhouse, i a e? r< uni,u.. /"violin, i?i v_/. i. oiuiiii, iiwiuci i n.ik, mortgage against the property. An examination of the records at the Courthouse does not show the filing of any suit against the Company. The mortgages are all executed by the Conway Coca-Cola Bottling Company, by S. T.

The opening tobacco sales at Aynor this week failed to a large extent on * account of failure to arrange finan- * ces on the part of two of the ware- , houses there. < There are three warehouses at Aynor as the Herald understands it as follows: Farmers Warehouse, Brick Warehouse, and Peoples Ware- \ house. The Brick Warehouse was ; the only one open for business on ] last Tuesday, the opening day. The ] two others int. nde<1 fo run as one > this year urnler the management of t W. J. Yarboro, >f Mullins, 3? G. 1 Owing to fail' re '.\ secu ing funds ] in time for the financing of the two < warehouses, they could not operate, j This state of affairs will hardly l be allowed to continue and it is as- i sumed that arrangements will be made before many days so that all i three of the warehouses will be open t and running. i It is said that quantities of tobac- j co were carried to Aynor on Tues- < day, the. opening day, but as it coulr* f not all be sold on (one floor, the t farmers took it on to other markets. SINGING CONTEST j AT MT. PISGAH I There was a meeting of the Sing c ing Contest at Mt. Pisgah church on 1 last Sunday, July 17th. By 10:30 ^ the people had gathered by the hundreds from every direction. In the T absence of the Superintendent, Mr. * Gray Floyd was asked to conduct the services. Several Sunday schools were present with songs and speeches. A committee of three were appointed to sit as judges of the music, . namely H. Kemper Cook, Rev. T. H. Patterson and Mr. McCracken. An excellent program was carried out. > At the close of the program Hon. W. ^ A. Prince, of Loris, was introduced and spoke on the "Importance of j Worshipping God in Song, not only in Church and Sunday school, but in , the Home." He stressed the impor- ^ tance of music in winning great vietorics upon the battlefield, and that heaven >vould echo with the music . made by Holy Angels. The judges , decided in favor of the school at * Gethsemane. The next session is to- c be held with the new Home church * near Galiyants Ferry. Every one . seemed to enjoy the day. Mr. A. Mr , G. Small stated that there was plent> of peas cooked and the people must , j: i - / ^ iuvf uinnur Derore going home. ?B. S. o WANTS INFORMATION Mr. Editor: I see by your paper that the "docs" are trying to get together "to re-ad- ? just prices and charges for the bene- ] fit of the public." Mr. Editor, is , this straight? Ov are they getting together to gov^e the public deeper? G:ve us son e straight dope. Have } tho druggists lowered their three O' nee presrviption pvice from one dolla'* and f;rty cents to fifty cents, v which druggist in neorby towns are v getting? And how a' out t! % >ther j< ">!nci," are they not being ' d by ^ cio who pevhaos Icrred to hrtvely j, charge the Germ: ns and is now P heavilv charging his friends. "Let n there be light!" ?INQUIRER. GREEN LEAVES. Green tobacco leaves will not be worth the trouble this year. Only high grades of tobacco will be worth anything in the opinion of the buyers , even before the season opened. Be sure the leaves of tobacco are ripe and ready for curing before the leaves are gathered. Sort out such green leaves as may get into the barn after they are cured and then place these greens on the floor all in one lot at the end of the season; and if you get something for them, all well and good, or if thev bring nothing at all. they will not have ruined the sale of all your good piles of tobacco.

C , THURSDAY, BAIL GRANTED J W.CLEM RAY Magistrate at Conway Await- f ed Certificate from Prince's n UUUIUI The magistrate court at Conway granted bail to W. Clem Ray, last Fiiday, after hearing: from Dr. J. D. Phomas, at Loris, to the effect that Arlington Prince was out of imme- g liate danger of death from the .vounds he received on the night of s 'uly 4th. g W. Clem Ray and Arlington Prince t fell out over some matter concerning i share crop, at the barn of Prince, in t Bayboro township and a fight ensued, t fn the course of the difficulty Prince p .vas badly hurt. Several days after s :hat cross warrants were sworn out a jy the two sides in the matter and Prince was not arrested, on account 3 rf his condition, Ray was arrested by s ural policeman, H. Mayo King, and b odged in the county jail where he has R emained until bail was granted. The opinion of Prince's physician j, vas rendered last Thursday and was g ,0 the effect that Prince is in no im- f nediate danger. Then bail was ,> granted Ray and it was only necessary to wait for the coming of Ray's | 'riends to Conway in order to arrange J he bail. Arlington Prince claims to have >een severely cut in the affray. It ippears that Prince used a tobacco tick in the fight; and while Prince vas cut he does not say that he saw tl my knife according to some who have C! lonversed with him on the subject. S The defendant denies that any knife a vas used by him.

There was a total of ninety thouand pounds sold, being smaller by a CPfll <IAO1 4'1 v?,v vvui uuaii viiu i|uauui} sum un ho openitig sales last year. The highest price obtained for any obacco cn the opening day .was wenty-two cents, and the average rice of the ninety thousand pounds old was a small fraction under seven nd one half cents. The whole offering consisting oi ar.d lugs or first cropping from the t; Iks. None of it appeared to be the elter grades produced from the later ;atherings from the fields. Considering the conditions prevailing the prices obtained were about as ood as could be expected and the Jonway market is the equal of any larket in the state. ^ORDCARANI) MAN IN TANGLE Mr. McGrew, the bookkeeper at he offices of the Conway Lumber )o., driving a Ford car on Laure'.

Hay is charged with assault and battery with intent to kill in a warrant sworn out before Magistrate W. Hi Chestnut by Arlington Prince, z> aimer of 13ayboro township. It was reported here this week t tat Prince had so far recovered orni the wounds he received in the fight on the night of July 4th, that he was able at this time to attend to his ordinary business affairs about the store and the mill. A certificate was furnished to the magis trate court here last week by Dr. J. D. Thomas, Prince's physician, that Prince was out of immediate danger from his wound. At last accounts the cross warrant sworn out by W. Clem Rav against Arlington Prince charging the later with assaut and battery vith intent to kill, and grownig out of the very same fight at the tobacco barn on July 4th, had not been served by the constable of Mmri? trate Frank B. Black, of (Jurley. It was said that the court had stayed the execution of this warrant on account of the injuries of Prince whicn were said to be at the time dangerous. It is supposed that this whl now be served unless it has been already by the time this issue of the paper has been published. Ray remained in the county jail about one week and during that time his relatives were doing the best they could for him in taking I care of his tobacco crop. It is said that W. Clem Kay wiil waive any preliminary hearing in his case; and it is understood that the bond filed by him last Monday was direct to the court of General Sessions, for his appearance there for trial on the 4th Monday in Sep1 tember 1921. o There is no more delicious dish than Idian corn on the ear.

I NO 147 TREE GIVES WAY BRINGS ACCIDENT Jesse Woodward, Electrician is Painfully Injurea In a Fall INJURY AT FIRST BELIEVED SERIOUS Prompt Medical Attention Given Him?Doing Better Last Accounts Jesse Woodward was seriously injured by the falling of an electric light pole last Thursday morning while working on a lead wire connection near the residence of H. W. Ambrose. At the time of the accident he was using a leather strap to hold himself against the pole, while he attended to the work, and he could not get loose from the pole after it started to fall. His injuries were believed to bo very serious. l)r. H. H. Burroughs was hastily summoned. There were several causes that lead to this accident. The town forces were at work on the laying of a cement sidewalk along the southward side of Fifth Avenue and it was necessary to remove several large shade trees out of the way. One of these, about the largest of all, had the roots exposed and hands expected very soon to guide it down in a safe place but the tree had no tap root to hold it up. This work was near the light wires of the Quattlebaum iLght & Ice Company and the pole stood near the residence of H. W. Ambrose. It appears that a wire from another residence had been taken loose from the pole. The pole was twelve to eighteen inches in diameter. He had gone to the top of the pole and was at work when the tree unexpectedly started to fall. It fell against the wires attached to the pole and pushed the pole down. This pole was considerably decayed near the ground and was not hard to break down. As the man fell l>e tried to turn away from the pole but the strap used in his work kept him hitched to it. He turned round in an effort to release himself and fell with his head toward the base of the pole. me poie came clown across his body in a diagonal direction. Every muscle in him was evidently strained and per haps torn in some places owing to the awful jar that his body got as the pole came down with him as a burden. He was taken to his home where he received n edical attention without deK.y, and at last accounts he was still ill and in bee' from his injury, I ut rapidly recovering.
