fr . y . INKING WINS AND THEN LOSES Verdict in King's Favor Set Aside On Motion of the Plaintiff. RECEIPTS SHOWN APPARENTLY FALSE ?rn? Duplicates Kept by Merchant Are Shown to Court on Saturday Evening. Last week in the case of George J. HoUiday, against I. C. King, the jury found a verdict for the defendant. ti.? _ i. i i i uc (fiuiiitin sucti imi u moic which socured a book account and proved the account by the production of the books of original entry in the usual way. The defendant introduced in evidence a number of receipts and as to several of these suspicious circumstances appeared. He had two receipts in the batch, both d.uted the same day, one to himself for a given amount and another to T. F. King for a riven amount. There was another which looked as if it had been changed from 1013 to 1914, and still another was changed from 1011 to 1014. This receipt for a large amount which ? -wed si?2,rs of having been changed f >i 191 i to 1014 was evidently ( nged in order to obtain credit in t suit as or the year 1014, when the ,,.,f . : - i' i i i < 'mil ? > -v.- luiiiiii'i;, ii.s II II. I1U(1 Ut't'll i !9ll, i'. u' ! nol ho used because t account (iid not run back as far sis 1011. At the trial there was no way for the p'aintilT to prove that these receipt had heon al'ered and changed, and the matter went to the jury for them 1<> pass on these receipts. The jury, therefore. found a verdict for the defendant and the plaintiff got nothing. This was not the end of the case, however. It. appeal's that in the business of Mr. Ilolliday .at Galivant.-" F Mnd perhaps :>t the other stores which he conducts, by the use of carta n eots. duplicates are kep': showin:*: the exact form of each and every ro int issued to any customer. These duplicate receipt hooks were brought into court late last Saturday ovenir.p juvt before the court adjourned for the week, and they showed that these receipts which had been offered by King h.ad undoubtedly been altered and changed, and upon this showing the court Granted *> new of the case, setting aside 'lie verdict of the jury which had been rendered. The receipt referred to as having been changed from 1011 to 1011. when the dupiic'e apno ne<i vhe year was plainIv *vrittep. as ! 011. Two or three of tlie receipts apposed in court as having no year filled in. As to all of the e the duplii-i.-j. -I ? > ,?wvni ni-.il ittc year nan neen | filled in and showed that the receipts! were not lawful credits on the ac-; count of K!mq-. Tim two receipts. one j of which was in the name of I. C. Kinrr and the otlmr in the name of T. F. King. as to the duplicates thc\ ap-1 peered one after the other in regular j order in the receipt booV, showing that 1. 0.

Refers to Vacant Lots. The Herald had two communications, received last week, on the subject of srhonl fnyofl?n *~.i ? ? V. w I. Him It'liUCll questions concerning: the payment of tuition fees, etc. These two articles, sent in for publication, were not accompanied by the names of the authors. What appeared in the Herald, in its issue of October 20, was published as a leading article on the front page in such way as to show the editor of the paper was responsible for it. In this way there is nothing concealed about the beginning of the discussion. The Herald man started it and tho l'oruld man is responsible for all that it said. Therefore the Herald cannot see why those who wish to join in the discussions shou d seek some untold reason for keeping their names to themselves. As a general rule a newspaper will refuse to publish an article unless the author of it is known to the Editor. L?ast week we made an exception and published an article on the school taxation matter without having the name of the writer of it in the office. Again this week we are going to break the rule and we produce below another nrfirlr which reached the office without any signature, or any sign whatever as to the writer of the same. The article follows: ABNORMAL TANKS "In reply to your article of October 20 in which you refer to the heavy burden of taxation in the town of Conway, an interested citizen of the town wishes to say that according to tlie amour,t of property owned the taxes in this town are much less than they should be. It is true they are ahigh as the present levy .allows them to be, but the valuation of the property is lower than it should 1 e. lower tlmn most town property. The town property of Conway has the same valuation on the tax books as the county property. This is an unusual fact for any town, especially one of this size. Can you expect to run a municipal government on taxes from property valued as it fs wncre there fa no such government? As long as the property valuation is so low that a man can afford to own and p;'y taxes on numbers of vacant lots in the town limits it will be impossiole for the town to build up as it fhouid. Let us have an honest v;vlirrtio1 of taxab'e town property, then with a lower levy our school and town v v opt. wouM have ample funds for their respective duties." CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the many friends and neighbors for the many kindnesses shown during the illness and death of my wife, also the respect shown by my barber brothers in Conway. May the Lord bless each and every one of them. \V. Grady Edwards. o Catarrh Can Be Cured Catarrh is a local disease greatly influenced by constitutional conditions.

In discussing the matter with Col. D. A. Spivey, one of the Horry Comnitteemen, Mr. Spivey said: "The eariy responses received from the liti/.ens of both counties are indeed gratifying.
