LEWIS CASE NOW
RELEASED
Last of the Damage Cases for
Deaths Growing Out Qf
Explosion
NO LIABILITY
EVER (ADMITTED
Company Had Testimony That
Trouble Arose From Carelessness
of Employee
The damage case of J. T. Lewis;
as administrator of the estate of J.
F. Lewis, deceased, has been settled
by a compromise, and the attachment
issued by the administrator
some time ago was released a week
or more ago.
The explosion out of which the
case grew occured several years ago
but there was delay in the filing of
the suit as there was a disagreement'about
the amount that would
be paid in settlement of this out of
several of such cases that were compromised.
The explosion at the plant of
Hammer Lumber Co., took place on
May 27th, 11)18 resulting in deaths
as follows:
John Coleman Lewis,
James Osborne,
William Randall, (colored)
Robert Vaught (colorcd)
Phenis Randall (colored)
The explosion carried one of the
large boilers away over into a field.
The lumber Company settled with
Maud Lewis, the widow of John
Coleman Lewis for the sum of $3U0.00
as shown bv her release and ro
ceipt bearing date on November 20th;
1918.
Soon after the explosion letters of
.administration were taken out on the
estates of the deceased persons, some
01 whom left younf? children and
their widows. The lumber company
did not admit any liability for the
accident, but they went ahead and
offered to pay the bereaved families
as much as they were able to pay at
the time, and thus settlements were
made with the families of all of the
list except Lewis, and even as to
him the widow was paid.
The Hammer lumber Company,
found upon investigation that it could
be proved that the explosion result
ert from the acts of employees, or
employee, of the company as alleged
in the answers served in the Lewis
case.

POISONED MOLASSES FOR
KILLING BOLL WEEVIL
There seems to be little reason
for the use at any time of poisoned
molfcsses in preference to plain calcium
arsenate for killing the cotton
boll weevil, and certainly not on
cotton plants after they reach the
squaring stage, in view of experiments
conducted by the Bureau of
Entomology, United States Department
of Agriculture. Dusted calcium
arsenate, the tests indicated, is
superior to the molasses mixture except
during exceedingly dry weather
and on very small plants.
Keen interest has been evidenced
recently in certain parts of the cotton
belt over the possibility of
poisoning the weevil with a mixture
of molasses, calcium arsenate, and
oniy a low inches in height and also
( illy during exceedingly dry weather.
The latter fact was particularly noticeable
and is probably the key to
the variation in results, the department
believes.

strengthening, invigorating effect, see how
it brings"color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then

water. So many inquires were rerc
ived by the department concerning
the efficiency of the mixture,
together with reports of excellent
results secured in its use in the
field, that a scries of test^ were
undertaken by the bureau to determine
the relative merits of the two
methods of controlling the pest.
The first series of tests consisted

the molasses mixture with the mortality

rate on unpoisoned check plants
Various concentrations and amounts
of molasses mixture were tested, and
the entire series wa reported fw 1
times. In all 80 different cage tests,'
involving the u o of about 1. 00 weevils,
were\included in the. " series.
It was found that while molasses
in combination with calcium arsenate
exercises a certain degree of control
over the boll weevil it is generally
no more than served with plain dusted
calcium arsenate. Under certain
conditions a much better degree of
control was had from the mixture,,
but this result was noted only in the
case of very small plants averaging

NEW BUS LINE 7
HELPS CONWAY
Railroad Officials Take Note
of its Establishment
TWICE A DAY
MEETING TRAINS
May Result in Extending Railroad
Line From Aynor to
Marion or Mullins
Among one of the best things to
come to Conway in the las* several
yours is the omnibus line which now
connects this town with Marion, S. C.
Conway cannot now bo said to be
isolated from the outside world. It
was that way to a tfroat exteut beiore
this. The only means of getting
in and out of Conway was by the railroad
line. This made men have to
MtllV ill Co11 WJi V Inmvnv flinn Hiai
ted to. Now they have the new
means of getting out of Conway, and
of coming into Conway.
I It ? said that the Atlantic Coast
Line has taken note of the new avenue*
of escape from the Independent
j Republic. When it became known
that the line would be established , of-1
ficials of the railroad company
called on the secretary of the Conway
Chamber of Commerce to find
out the exact detafls about it. Those
who know that they took this much
interest in the matter believe that it
may result in the extension of the
railroad line from Aynor to Marion
lor Mullins, thus making a connection
I that it would seem should have been
made long before. If this should be
the result of the establishment of this
omnibus line, then it will have been
more thai, doubly useful to this section
of the State.
On the other hand the railroad company
may use the establishment of ,
the line as an excuse to want to take
olT some of its trains, in which event,
of course, as we understand it, the
mnt.tpv wnnlH hp lnft. tn fhp rnilrnnrl
commission. \
The "bus" is making its regular
trips twice a day ever since September
7th, and is having more business
than it seems possible could have been
worked up in so short a time.
It leaves Conway every morning
at 6:15 and arrives at Marion at 8:30;
returning it leaves Marion at 10
o'clock and arrives back at Conwav
at 12:15.
It leaves Conway every afternoon
at 4:15 and arrives at Marion at 6:30;
returning it leaves Marion at 8:40
and arrives at Conway at 10:55.

JOHNSONIS
AGAIN BUSY
Lookinq After Enforcement of
the Laws in Every
Section
Onp still ha* been broken up near a
primitive Baptist Church in Simpson
Creek township. The raid was ?vadc
bv V. D. .Johnson of the rural police
force.
It was found near this church one
day last week and was demolished by
the policeman. It consisted of a gasoline
drum converted in the usual
manner into a vat; and instead of the
common galvanized piping for the
still worm, it liad a copj^r worm.
With the still the policeman took
rive empty barrels, five jugs, two
k^-'s, and one and one-h:?lf gallons o!
monkey rum. It had recently been in
operation.
This raid was made on September
7th. No one was found at the st.ii!
at tho time, and there is no information
obtainable as to the owner and
operator of the outfit.

r resident tiaramg's advice regarding
the tax was not sought by
Senator Calder, who merely explained

before offering it formally in the

Senator Calder said that 20,000,C00
gallons of distilled spirits were
withdrawn from bonded warehouses
during the past year, paying the
present industrial alcohol tax of only
$2.20 per gallon.
"Ninety per cen^ of this was used

was paid by consumers," said Senator
