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.

PUBLIC SQUARE
CREDIT OF ANY
Work Commenced With Re- ;
newed Force Last Week-- .
Walks Connected
All great improvements are usually
long in coming?they are Appreciated
when they do come. 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. Let the good work go on.

Those who wish to see for thenilelves
and judge for themselves nviy
iow see the great amount of work ,
hat it has taken to build the new road
hrough the branches and bays, and
ompare this with what it would have
aken if the old road through the low
and had been used. In the opinion
?f many the work would have been f
inished long .ago through to Bear
Swamp and far beyond at no more
xpense than lias been caused by gong
