TH3 HORRY HERALD, CON WAGON AND CAR I IN COLLISION i Goiv Loses Wagon and Traveling ? .Men Have Damaged Car. There was an automobile and w3gon wreck last Tuesday evening on the road from Conway to Myrtle Beach, in which Pe.e Gore, the driver of the wagon, was considerably shaken up and his wagon considerably damaged, and In which H. C. Moore and D. A. Rogers, two traveling men, drivers of the car, were both more or less inHired. Rogers much more than Moore. It appears that both vehicles were coming from the beach toward Conway. The accident took place when the car attempted to pass the wagon. It was after sunset, at least very r^oudy and getting dark .*\t the time. nl - ? - 1 4' 1 ' ' I i in- car shuck mo wagon and wmie | Mr. Moore went clear, the car pinned I ''own the body of Mr. Ropers, where ! he remained for some little time until the car was lifted off by Mr. Gore. The wagon was demolished to such an extent that it could not he driven into town. Mr. Gore walked into Conway leading his mule and he spread the news of the accident which might have been worse in its consequences. Mr. Moore left the scene of the accident to get help, thinking that Mr. Rogers then lying under the machine, was dead. After Mr. Moore left, Gore heard groans from Rogers and managed to relieve his body of the weight of the machine. Rogers finally got to his hotel here and was not hurt as seriously as it 1 at first appeared that he was. lie was bruised at various places about his body .and his arm was hurt. Mr. Moore represents the Bear Product & Merchandise Company, while Mr. Rogers travels for the Fred Germany Company of Florence. Both men had cars, but Mr^ Moore was riding with Mr. Rogers in his car at the time. The car of Mr. Moore was being driven along the same road by Mr. Elmo Hyman of Conway. So far the facts as related do not seem to explain whose fault it was that the accident took place. TAX BOARD IS BUSY ALL DAY On last Tuesday the -county board of assessors held !i meeting* .at the courthouse to hear complaints in regard to the assessment and equalization of property for taxes. It is said that the boards all over the county had raised the values of real estate more or less in many instances. Last year the taxes were so high and money was so* hard to get to pay them that each man whose property was raised wanted to find out if possible the reason for the raise in valuation. The county board of assessors met with County Auditor N. C. Adams on Tuesday morning and was busy until late in the afternoon hearing the complaints raised by various citizens. After hearing the complaints the board will pass on each and every one and it may l>o some time before the taxpayers will know the result of their complaints. o COTTON MARKET Spot cotton prices advanced C>8 points during the week, closing at 20.5(',c per pound.

The improvements of the ground^ at the courthouse is one of the things long delayed. but which has come at last; the work beginning once more after some delay since the grading was done a mouth or two ago. Last week a force of chaingang convicts And other help began laying nff the walks and driveways, called for by the plans recently completed, 1 on the eastward side of the square. The work will include the making r>f curbings out of concrete to divide the grass* plats from (lie driveways. The walks and driveways will he laid with crushed granite. There is one Iriveway twenty feet wide curving; in to the side steps from the street and then curving* back toward the back of the square until it meets *ne street again. Walks will connrct this driveway with the cement walk in front rind also with the walk from the rear loor toward the jail. The materials for laying these ways were placed on the ground' several weeks ago. There is nothing to do iow except to finish the work 011 this side of the square. The westward ;ide is to be finished up in the same vay, but \as that side will not be ised for some time like the eastward ;itle will be, the rest of the grounds )n the west side may not be finished or some time yet. Ujuier the skillful management of kV. ^ Pitts, civil engineer, and H. P. kittle of the county board, this work vill do credit to the really fine courtlouse that we have here for this lountv.
