S. D. FRISSELL, Manager News Service o KITCHEN CONTEST Now* that spring is here the housewife's interest is in cleaning and fix ing up the home. The kitchen us . ually receives less attention than anj . other room in the house in fixing-uj time, the housewife overlooking en tirel y the fact that the greater par . of her daily life is spent in the kitch en. A convenient, well regulatet . kitchen will do much to insure th< comfort, health and happiness of th< family and therefore should receiv* first consideration when renovating i I and cleaning time conies. ) I*ast year much interest was showi in our kitchen contest and again \vi t are going to have the contest conduct ed along the same lities and ofTerinj -i as prizes a Hoosier kitchen cabine _ and a portofold table.

Jk BRIDGE REMOVAL AS ONE REASON Answerecf by Effort Obtaining Consent For Removing Gravos PROMISE T0~ COiMS!DER V Third Avenue May Yet be the Location of The National . Highway Agents of the Federal Bureau and the State Highway Department came to Conway last week for the purpose of looking over the routes suggested for the new highway leading out of Conway toward Georgetown. Some days before that the town council had sent word to them that they wished to he heard before the road was located definitely as. running along Fourth avenue. The reason for the message was that the town authorities think that Third avenue should he used and not the other. The agents went to the town hall ind sent for some of the business men and town officials to meet them. Thf* agents said ihey thought the Fourth avenue should he used on account of the possible removal of the Kinf'xton Lake bridge to anolher point at some time in the future. This wa? v.nswered by showing that the lake bridge could be run across the lake i ' be foot of Third avenue as consent of those who have relatives buried ir the Presbyterian graveyard wo.ih grant their consent. In that matt cm it appears that several persons present assured the meeting thai this con <r>nf fnnlfl l?f> nl "i 1 iinrl Several other matters connecter with the location of the road won discussed, but nothing1 definite wa: done, and the agents left with th< understanding that if the consent foi the removal of the graves could b< obtained they would consider tin changing of the route so to con nect with Third avenue ami abandoi Fourth avenue as a location. It i: understood that steps will be takei without delay to obtain the consen of those interested and that th< agents of the departments will be in formed of the result. The Federal agent said that th town might obtain Federal aid in pav ing the street. Mayor L. I). Magratl 5 stated that he would consider the pav " ing of Third avenue, but not Fourth t as Fourth avenue is not and neve ~ has been a business thoroughfare, a 1 Third avenue is and is becoming rnor and more that way. \ THIRD AVENUE WILL BE USE! e Z The great mistake that the board t made in the location of the new roa t from Conway to Georgetown grow w more and more apparent to .all thos - who are watching it, and those wh - are looking at the situation hav n greatly increased in number.

The town go^ eminent is determined that it sha e be used according to its views qui t recently expressed. Instead of cor a ing straight with the road dow o Fourth avenue, there will be a cros e over to the end of Third. This w not be as nice as it would .have be< n had the new road been located throuj g the cutofT by the Fred B. Lewis ai Robert B.

Cook Charged With IMonsupport by Annie Cook CLAIMS HAS DEFENSE Requisition Asked From Gov. ernor For Return of Defendant to Horry TT. C. Conk is being hold in St. Augustine, Fla., under a charge of non-support, brought at the instigation of his wife, who live? in this state. It appears that Conk was arrested by officers in the Florida city about March 22, and was bring, held there at last accounts awaiting the arrival of an officer, who it was sunposed would br> sent f'oni this place to bring him back under requisition papers from the governors of the two states. This is not the beginning of troubles between those parties. U. C. Cook was married to Miss Annie Oapp< in the spring of the year when the boys \\?re being sent to the World War. After l'ving together for a few months Cook was drafted and went to the front in France, served until the \y,tr was over and , came back again to take up his married life. U > came ba"k in tlio sprine* of 192C and for a tit ^e they lived in thei home ! of Tssrif* T Conic. fj.l'i.-T of tlir- drfood , ant. They lived there until, with the assistance of his father, R. C. Cook completed a home on the property whore they could live separately. I Here it is said things went fron % b.ad l<r worse and r.fc the time Cool s left to hunt a new job in Florida th< ^ house was shut up and his wife gone .. His friends iclaini that he had gooc reasons for his action and if lie i: ^ brought back to fttand trial on tin charge that she now brings agains 1 him to the effect that he will not sup s port her, the whole thing will doubt a less be tried out in the court of gen eral sessions. e The law in regard to such matter is understood to require every able bodied man to ^support his wife an e children unless he can find a jus _ cause or excuse for his refusal o I neglect to do that. And he has th right before or after conviction t give a bond to supply the necessarie j! of life to them. At last accounts Cook had not beei ' sent after and was being held in th Florida city. o WOMEN OF ALBANIA \ GIVE UP TROUSER Tirana, Albania?Trousers as til national costume for Albania wonie s are to disappear within the next ger (I oration.

T. Hughes, oi' Marion that be hoped the Florence mayor I would not oppose him for the posi t on. "Mr. HugVes and, I are good ' friends and I regard him very high, ly; but, 1 am goin'-i: to make the race , V y mind is made up definitely on this question." i The mavor stated he has been con* c sidering the matter for sometime to 3 determine whether to make the ra.ee. . Now, not only has decided to run II hut lie i- poing into the race for all s ho is worth. e Regarding his candidacy, the mayt or said: "That the people need a more business-like representation is evidenced - from all sides. I am convinced that much relief can and should l>e made s for the people during this pre at - period of world-wide re-adjustment. (1 "If ever the time was ripe for a t purely non-partizan administration r now is the time. Politics should bo e laid one side and business method; o should step in and take charge of the s affairs of our country. "I will, from time to time, make n things clear as to how I stand on e various questions, but one thing I absolutely decline to enter into any local disputes, especially with reference to county .politics. "I believe that since I am offering 'or a wider and broader politica1 ^ field than local affairs 1 should not 0]necome involved alonir this line." Mayor Bnrrifiper will not resign as n mayor, nntil after tlio primary as h?> feeis in duty hound t.o his home city * to stand by and pet all the work or ^ the street improvements well under way.

"V " " NO. 51 LEWIS VERDICT NOT APPROVED 'eople Talk About it As Lewis Work on The Gang MOT WEARING AMY STRIPES Makes Bond as Required bv Commissioners. Known as Peaceable Young* Man There seems to be a feeling- on the part of many people that Nathan E. Lewis failed to get what he was entit le<l to in his recent trial because they t.-ike the view that he should have been cleared of the charge against him under the peculiar circumstances that surrounded him at the time of the trouble. As a usual thing such cases are tried and soon forgotten "by the peop'e who heard the case and read of it in the papers. Not so in this Nathan Lewis c,ase. Many people are speaking of it yet and saying that they believe the man should have been cleared. Within *a 'week a number of men have spoken to Isaac Lewis, the fathre, according to his statement recently made, and they have expressed memseives in that way. I *?ist week a sufficient bond was made by Lewis and he was allowed to wear his regular clothes while at his work on the road Rang near Conway. Many friends of Lewis expressed their satisfaction upon learning that he would not have to wear (he stripes while serving his sentence imposed as the result of the verdict of manslaughter rendered Against him by the jury. The facts of this case are all fresh in the minds of those who went to the courthouse the early part of March and heard the case tried. They will not be repeated here. The defendant is a man who has never been in any trouble in the courts before this, so as to his past life his character and reputation were good. Before the difficulty which led to the killing he had been good friends with the deceased Memory Booth. By those who know him he is described as a quiet and peaceable young man.
