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

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

were not lawful credits on the ac-;

of which was in the name of I. C.

Skin Diseases Due
To Waste Products
In The Blood
'or Genuine Relief Your Blood
Must Be Purified.
For real, downright, harnssing discornfbft?
very few disorders can approach so- '
called skin diseases, such as eczema, tetter, !
boils, eruptions, scaly irritations and similar 1
tkin troubles, notwithstanding the lavish use
r>f salves, lotions, washes and other treat- '
W( nts applied externally to the irritated parts. *
To correct the basic trouble?waste prod- 1
tuts?the blood must be purified. I)?n*tcIog
your blood. Just clean it out. Nature willdo
the rest. Pure, rich, red blood nourishes the
lx)dy and fights off disease.
S. S. S., the standard blood purtPer and
pyr.tcm builder, is the ideal remedy for skin ,
eruptions. The effect of S. S. S. is to rid the i
system of the waste products which arc cau
ing the trouble. For over 50 years S. S. S.
)i:ts proven to be of unusual merit. Begin

THE HORRY HERALD, CON
WRITES FAIL
TO GIVE NAMES
Leaving Paper in Dark as to
Who Holds These
Views
CLAIMS TAXES ARE
- TOO LOW AT PRESENT
As ' Compared to Amount of
Property Owned by Citizens.
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.
