fHORRY DEMOCRAT ELECTS THREE WC Interesting Resolutions Preser Meeting On Monday? ^ ^ ' are Ele The county Democratic convention met in Conway last Monday morning .at 11 o'clock and before any business was transacted A. P. Jackson led the convention in prayer. The con vontion was then organized by the election of temporary ofiicers. E. J. Sherwood was elected as temporary president and J. O. Norton as tempo- 0 C rary secretary. These ofiicers were >(1 chosen to act at the head of the con- .1 vention through the roll call of pre-,cincts and the enrolling' of delegates. After the election of temporary officers the roll of the precincts was e called and the delegates reported. P There were delegations from all of tl the voting precincts, but at San ford it it appeared there had been no organ- ti ization and as the voters of that pre v.'iiict were divided into two factions ii Vt presented two delegations. This e -would not answer the Democratic c< ruhrs and Sanford had to go down in si the list as the only precinct that had o no delegates seated at the convention, c; After tho precincts had -been called e and the delegates listed, the presi- si dent appointed J. A. McDermott, A. tc TVlcG. Small and N. T. Collins as a ii committee on credentials, then the convention was at ease while the com- v in it tee retired to consider the rights a ?of the delegates to be seated in the p 'contention. The committee then made its report that 10S delegates c< were present and entitled to vote and a that Sanford precinct was the only ^ precinct not represented at the conven- g . tion. The next business before the t: body was the election of permanent t; officers. After a short discussion the b temporary officers were elected as h permanent officers. tl At .ahout this time in the proceed- n ings the president appointed the com- $ rnittee on resolutions: A.. D. Jack- n son, M. A. Wright and Cordie Page. U This committee retired to consider a si number of resolutions that were ready n to he offered before the convention t; and later made their report as will be b hereinafter mentioned. fi The next business entered into was n the election of a chairman of the coun- g ty executive committee. S. H. Brown, f .J. A. McDermott and E. J. Sherwood r< were all nominated by different mem- d hers of the body. Messrs. Brown and McDermott asked that their names be G withdrawn from the contest and fin- ti ally Mr. Sherwood was elected by ac- c< clamation. \ d The president of the convention de- a cided a date upon which the San ford t precinct shall organize so as to be a able to take part in the proceedings t hereafter. This date was fixed to be o .? two weeks from the date of the coun- $ ty convention. When the matter of the election of the members of the t .state executive committee was brought up two nominations were made, D. r A. Spivey and J. A. McDermott. A s vote was taken l>y standing and be- t ing counted and J. A. McDermott re- li ceived sixty-five votes. Before the I vote was taken for Mr. Spivey, the $ lar'cer asked that his name he with' drawn, in favor of Mr. McDermott t .unci Mr. McDermott was unanimously \ 'ejected. The most interesting business of tl 3 he convention, except perhaps the 1 passage of several resolutions, was s the elect ion of six delegates to the r estate convention. There was but one c woman delegate to the county convention and she was Mrs. George J. t Holiday. On motion of Hon. W. A. c Prince, Mrs. Holliday was*elected by t acclamation as one of the six dele- \ gates, and in successive order Miss t Annie Derham and Mrs. M. J. Bui- 1 lock were elected, thus giving to the \ women voters half of the representa- 1 lion at the state convention. The convention then proceeded to ] elect tnree i rom uie mine nicuiucia 1 of tho body. A number of delegates were nominated and the voting, which was by ballot, resulted as follows: NV. L. Bryan 37 "M. A. Wright 10 T). A. Spivey 42 S. H. Brown 19 , Y. P. McQueen 13 ~\j. W. Cooper 11 30. J. Sherwood 41 "W. A. Prince 19 H. K. Cook 25 E. S. C. Baker IS G. 3L. Ford 10 J. A. McDermott 2 J.

Their report showed that a total 'Y)f IOC) vote had beer, cast and rone < of 1 ae nominees had received :i :\a\jw'i:y. Some member then moved that the three receiving the highest nnnlifv of votes be declared clewed by acclamation. Thi:; was done nd resulted in the election of \V. I,. Bryan, O. A. Spivey an/LTO. J.

The connpittec on ve^o' jl.Ions, after remaining out for fifteen or twenty .minutes, returned with a number of j f_ % / 'IC CONVENTION )MEN DELEGATES ited and Discussed at Big ?Permanent Officers :cted. esolutions which were acted upon l.v lie convention as follows: The Democratic organization of Jeaufc>rt county sent a resolution in egard to dividing* up the expense of he primaries. This resolution read: "Resolved, That the state convenion be urged to change the rules :overning the holding of primary lec.ions in the Democratic party so hat the cost of holding them he paid, alf from assessments against candiates for state and federal nominaion and half by assessments against andidates for county ofiices. "Resolved Further, That the presnt method of placing the entire excuse of holding primary elections on lie candidates for county offices only ; manifestly unjust and undemocraic. "Resolved Further, That whenever ^ n n\f oil o va fillfwl I Hllt? vv/ UUV^ Ul I V/IIIVV/O (U V 111 IVU. ither state and federal or county, the c>st of additional primaries to fill iich offices shall he borne entirely ut of assessments against county indidates or against state and fedral candidates, according to which et of offices the primary is needed > determine upon candidates or nomlees." This resolution was discussed by arious members of the convention nd was passed after a favorable reort of the committee. Another resolution taken up to be onsidered and which had been favorbly acted upon by the committee as one sentt down by the Loris deleation in regard to the reduction of ixes by the passage of three of the ix reduction measures that had een introduced in the recent Legisiture, stating that by the passage of lose laws the taxes in Horry county ad been reduced to the extent of 24,000 and the resolution recommended that the delegation from [orry county in the next Legislature hould favor the passage of other leasures that would further reduce axation, such as the hydro-electric ill and the luxury tax, so that these jrther measures, or perhaps others, light be passed next time and to a reat extent relieve property owners rom bearing all the burden. This esolution worded as follows, was inorsed by the convention: "Whereas, at the sitting of the last roneral Assembly in Columbia. S. C., le House of Representatives did pass ertain revenue measures which reuced our state taxes about $1,000,000. nd whereas the taxes of Horry couny due the state has heretofore been bout $55,000, and whereas our state axes for this year will be reduced to 31,000, making a total reduction of 21.000 for Horry county alone. "Therefore Be It Resolved, That his convention heartily indorses the iction of the House and do recomnnrwl tlmf r>llV novf v* ^V WI.I1 IBV.-VV 1 V|/l > Un land for the passage of the luxury ax bill and also the passage of the ivdro-electric bill which will reduce lorry's part of state taxes to about 22.000." Still another resolution w.as passed ipon. This was presented by Hon. V. A. Prince: "Whereas, the usual financial conlitions under which the people are aboring in our county and state are erious and manifestly detrimental, lot only to our business, but also to iur social and economical relations; "Therefore Be It Resolved, That his convention assembled go on rec>rd as indorsing such candidates in ho coming primary of the House only vho will stand for rigid economy in he conduct of the Government in >oth county and state, looking to the iltiniate reduction of the burden of taxation." The convention started to adopt the report of the committee on resolutions, who made an unfavorable report on this. Some discussion took place, however, and on motion of T). A. Spivey the convention received the resolution as information. Arguments were nvide for and against this resolution by W. A. Prince, D. A. Spivey, Jeremiah Smith, A. D. Jackson and M. M. Stanley. Perhaps the most interesting resolution considered and one that brought forth the most talk was the one proposed by the Aynor delegation and vhich w?s published in the Horry Herald in its issue just before the convention. This resolution need nol be printed here as it can be found ir last week's issue. It comprehendet two interesting things: The enforce ment of prohibition in the precinct: of the county and the observance o the Sabbath D/w by the law-making bodv of South Carolina. There was nothing to ho said ii regard to tho prohibition element o tho resolution, hut the part of Hi vA<.-r>intlfin relating to the Sabbat Day callod for t*?lk from the member (. 1 he liouse, Ix.'h of whom was pres ent: W.

Representative G. Lloyd Ford s nade a speech on this subject and e stated that the people of the state ( uist he positive in their demand that i the law-making body observe the c Sabbath Day and that under the con- p litions as they exist, and at the close y of the session, there is no other way to stop the practice; and he stated that he was opposed to this, but felt t it to be his duty to stay there until ^ the House adjourned as Horry county must ho represented as long as the law-making body was at work.

He overslept on the follow- ji ing morning and did not come home on the train that day, but he did not b go back in the Senate chamber, which d he understood adjourned on Sunday afternoon. The resolution proposed by the Ay- f nor delegation was accepted by the k convention. n Following is the resolution present- n ed by the Conway delegation: t! "Whereas, the State Department of n Education during the months of Feb- h ruary and March, 1922, conducted in p Horry county a campaign which had o for its purpose the reduction of illit- h eracy among the people of this county, t and b "Whereas, this campaign has ac- \ complished remarkable results in giv- ji ing to deserving people of Horry the ( opportunity to secure the fundamentals of education, which are essen- j: tial to the preservation of institutions v under a democratic form of govern- ^ ment, h "Now Therefore, Be It Resolved by f the Horry county Democratic conven- i, tion in session assembled: p "That this convention go on record \ as expressing its gratitude to state (j and county educational officials for v their wisdom and skill in perfecting 0 plans for this educational campaign; to all teachers and trustees for their Y whole-heai*ted co-operation in assuming added responsibilities, and to the 0 public generally for its full and free j, co-operation in promoting the success j of this movement." j1 In the course of the proceedings t Hickory Grove expressed a desire to n have eits name changed to Rose Lake }1 and the motion to change the name v was carried. j, NEW FEATURES I AT CONFERENCE; ( The Marion district conference of < the Methodist Church held here last l week came to a close on Thursday. , The attendance was large and the ses- \ sions full of interest. This confer- ^ once was in many ways unique, com- , bining the ecclesiastical and Sunday school conferences. The Rev. I). A. < Phillips, presiding elder, presided over . the ecclesiastical and Prof. I,. K. Ha- j good, president of the Sunday school , district conference, presided over the , Sunday school conference. | The reports of the pastors of the < several charges of the district showed | a marked growth in the church, in all i its departments. Finances were well 1 up, many successful meetings had been held and a large number added to the church. In the Sunday school conference j several features were new. The devo- I tional exercises at the opening of the i sessions were conducted by the de- ; partments of the Conway Sunday < school. There were demonstrations of < the opening exercises of the Sunday school on Sunday morning, showing how the superintendent can utilize j the forces and quicken the interest of ; his Sunday school. The round table ( hour was given to demonstrations in ] the several departments of the Conn i 1 1 I w.iy ounnay scnuui. The Myrtle Bench training school (was given a prominent place in the Sunday school conference, the confer- ( ence emphasizing the need of trained workers and pointing the way to de- ] j velop them. Possibly the most signi, ficant thing done in this connection , was the memoralizing the approach ing general conference to pass a law ) so co-ordinating the general Sunday j school hoard with the departments of religious education in "A" grade colleges that the red tape in accepting C teachers for its training school may he eliminated. Under the present policy there is no co-ordination. ( There were many connectional men j. as visitors on the conference, repreruling the general causes of the ^ church, such as missions, education, Sunday schools, orphans' home, colleges, schools and publishing interests. h A TONIU o t (> flrovc s rastclcss chill Tonic restores P Energy and Vitality hy Purifying and ;>, Enriching the Blood.

Graham. This will come ip in the tribunal of highest jresort hi May IS. The firm of Sherwood & McMillan' represents the defendant, md the Solicitor for the State. The defendant was indicted on a harge of assault with intent to kill, ipon David YV. Graham. David W. jiraham is an uncle of the defendant. Quince was convicted of an assault f a high and aggravated nature. He noved for a new trial which was reused by Judge R. W. Memminger. le then appealed to the supreme ourt and it will be heard on a numier of exceptions made to the trial n circuit. The exceptions relate mostly to porions of the charge of the presiding udge. The story of the affair was related y the two parties about as follows uring the course of the trial here: David W. Graham testified: "I lived in Horry county on the ourth day of September, i{>20, and now Quince D. Graham, who is a lephew of mine and lives about a lile from me. On the morning of he 4th of September I started to Ayor and before I got to Charlie Graam's house, who lives between my lace and Aynor, 1 saw a bugg.^ ahead f me and when I reached Charlie's ouse 1 recognized Quince Graham in he buggy. And Charlie, who is a rother of Quince, came out just as passed. I did not speak; just massed on by and came on to Pink iraham's. Jesse Floyd, having overook me in a buggy before I reached 'ink's, I asked him to let me ride . ith him. I got up in the buggy with lim and before we reached Pink's ome 1 looked around and saw Quince iraham and Charlie Graham in his uggy. A little distance from this ioint the road forked and as soon as got to a place where Quince could rive around he drove around us and ,e drove up in front of Pink's house ut to one side of the road, and Quince rove around us and got outside the oad. When he got pretty close up e pulled a breach-loading gun out f the back of his buggy. This was ri front of Pink Graham's house and saw Pink go toward him and I eard Quince say "I am going to kill lie grey headed if he don't give rie what he's got this morning." He lad a gun on me, he said "Give up chat you've got or I'll kill you." "loyd jumped out of the buggy and ?ft me in the buggy and Charlie Graiam had hold of him and prevented lim in some way and then he said I'm going to pull him out of the uggy." And he came near enough o lay his hands upon my knees, but lid not make any ofTer to pull me out. 'ink followed him and said to him, 'Hold on Quince," but he was coming ip and I says to him, ' If I have got my thing on my nerson that belongs o you, you will get it when we get Aynor, but not until I get to A> lor. "The day before that I had sold 'Ome property at Aynor for $5,000.00 ind when the papers were passed that light my wife's dower to the property was not given, and I went home to L?et the dower. If it was not for hat pistol I picked up on the road I jan't tell you what he wanted. I picked up a pistol on the road that norning about fifty yards of the louse where Quince had stopped. u nA?nfo/l ! ? A mm ?i f mo |'"I1HV'I VI IV- m -? II uv ...V,. Quince D. Graham testified: "I am a married man 34 years old and have six children. On September 4, 1920, I started to Aynor and Charlie was to go with me to Aynor and from there we were going to Conway. I had laid my pistol on the >eat of the buggy arid came on and just before I got to Charlie's the pistol fell out of the buggy. When it fell out I stopped and looked back and saw David Graham coming. I decided T would drive on to Charlie's house and wait until he passer! and maybe he wouldn't steal the pistol and I would go back and get it, but he came along and picked it up and I saw him when he picked it up. 1 didn't want him to see me with the pistol. I drove on to avoid it. He however, picked it up and stuck it in his pocket and came by me and ashe passed he didn't speak. 1 saic "Hello, old man, you have got m> pistol and I want it." He didn't oper his mouth but walked right on anc when he got about fifty yards awaj he put on his coat and pulled oui the pistol and shook it at me anc said, "If you fool with me I will giv< you the pistol." He stuck the pisto in his pocket, I could see the barre sticking out. I did nothing then. W< had started to Conway to bring m; gun to this gunman here in Conwaj to got a spring put in it.

We stopped? to see Pink and while there thi sbuggy came up and Jesse Floyd and David Graham were in it. When they came pretty close I said "Old man I want my pistol," and he reached for his pocket and said, "You will not set it." I stepped to my buggy and got my gun and said "Don't you pull that pistol on me again, if you do I will kill you." lie pulled his gun out of his pocket and my brother Pink, came out of the gate and walked up next to me and I said, "Pink, hold the gun and damn him, I'll take it away from him." I then stepped up next to the buggy and he said, "I will give it up when 1 get to Aynor." I said "All right, if you will do that, we will go on." lie and Jesse Floyd drove on and me and Charlie and Pink came on to Aynor behind them. When we reached Aynor the officer took the pistol away from him. If l had want ed to shoot him there was nothing to prevent it. I knew nothing at all about his moving except while we were in this at Pink's he said, "Quince, I have got $5,000 and I'll spend the last cent of it or break you up before I kill you." This statementt was made in the presence of me, Pink, Charlie and Jesse Floyd. He had shot at me one time prior to this at Cool Springs. o summons FOR RELIEF state of south carolina, COUNTY OF HORRY.

The little brass paper clip, said to be the emblematic badge of the "order," is seen on many J lapels of coats and quite a few are said to have made their appearance on the blouses of the girls. A locat ! book store reports that several hun- ! died of the special kind of clips used f| for this purpose have been sold during the past few days. % I Promptly on the appearance of the y badges among a few of the school girls, the graded school faculty took a hand in the matter. A meeting of the high school girls was held. Miss Newsom, one of the high school teachers, made a talk to the girls on the matter of the Shifters, after which , me president ot the class, Miss Harriett Wiggins, took charge and asked that some action be taken in regard to the matter. The result was that every member of the Shifters present handed in her badge and subscribed to resolutions which read in part as follows. "Whereas, an organization known as the Shifters has appeared in our town, and, "Whereas, some of our high school girls have innocently become members, having no idea of the purpose or the influence of such an organization: "Therefore, Be It Resolved, That we, the girls of the Bamberg high school, 100 per cent strong, do denounce in emphatic terms this organization; "That every high school girl who is now a member will turn in, throw away or destroy her badge; "That the badge be looked upon as a symbol of shame; "That we resent being asked to join this organization; "That we refuse to associate with any boy who is a Shifter or who wears the badge; "That we, as a body of girls, will do everything in our power to get rid of this evil influence in our towns, state and nation; "That we call upon the high school girls of every school in the state to tako a positive stand against the Shifters or >any organization of its kind; "That if necessary we band ourselves together in a statewide move- \ nient for the uplift of our boys and girls."
