\ "Volume xxxvii CHAMBER PLANS AKhi A SUCCESS Members of State Press Association Pass Through Conway CIVIC LEAGUE WORKED Visitors Met by Automobiles in Marion Wednesday Morning. Dinner Served Here Conway, Myrtle Beach, and the county of Horry in general is having the best chance for publicity that it has had in the history of the section. The State Press Association is holding its annual convention at Myrtle Beach. The members passed through Conway from Marion by automobile on Wednesday, June 21. They remained for a short time in Conway, where they had dinner, served by the women of the Civic League. After dinner they were taken down the Waccaniaw River on the steamer Commanche, as to a part of the visitors, and on the Jeanette, the boat of Mr. Stilley, as to a part; landing at Peach Tree, where automobiles took the crowd and conveyed them to the beach. Arrangements have been made for the entertainment of the association at the beach by the owners of the Myrtle Beach Hotel. The secretary of the association, Mr. Harold C. Booker of Columbia, took care to get the members to arrange their trip so that they would arrive in Marion on the early morning trains. As some of the members were not able to get to Marion on the first day, the trains of Thursday will be met by automobiles to take over any late arrivals. It is an opportunity for this county to show to the editors of the state what there is here and the way that we have been taking care of it. We admit that development here is needed. We allege and can prove that there are opportunities here that will not be found at other places. This is a chance to let the world know it n>lilnn>3 will O O XT 111 H) II 11 w Hill iiic:.-!*; r;uuui.i mil about it in their papers. We appreciate this chance. The ladies of the Civic League have been hard at work in one of the most intense campaigns for cleaning up ever conducted in the town. It has. been more effective than was expectf cd. This will do good in more ways than one. Even if the editors failed to notice it, yet the town will reap the benefit of having a clean and sanitary place for the summer months. The plans were all worked out for entertaining the members of the ;issociation by special committees of the Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has also acted as a committee of the whole in directing the several committees. ' BE! 7)VED LADY PASSES AWAY (The State) Mrs. Mary Eva Glover Quattlebaum, wife of Dr. Theadore A.

BRYANT BOYS ARE JAILED Charged With Selling Whiskey and Having in Possession W. A. Bryant and Roy Bryant, two men living not far from Adrian, S. C., were arrested on Saturday, June 10, and lodged in the Horry county jail, charged with violation of the prohibition laws of this state. * It is alleged that a quantity of sour mash was found at the house of W. A. Bryant. It was about ready to be stilled into monkey rum. The officers took this and destroyed it by pouring: it out.1 On this ground of having the fermented materials, W. A. Bryant will doubtless have to answer before the court. As to Roy Bryant, there is a charge of having: sold whiskey. This happened about two months ago. On this charge he will be tried in the court of general sessions. No still was found on the premises of either of the defendants. W. A. Bryant is a son of the late Sarah Bryant. Roy Bryant is a son of the late Tiller Bryant. Both were supposed to be hard working sons of toil.? The raid in which these two defendants were taken was made by Deputy Sheriff H. N. Sessions and V. D. Johnson of the rural police, t A preliminary hearing' was demanded by the defendants and the hearing was set for this week. o LAW OFFICES NOW OCCUPIED The new building of the Conway Building Company are now occupied. The front is taken up by the Itfw offices of Hon. R. B. Scarborough, while nice offices in the rear, with frontage on the alleyway are occupied by Cordie Pag:e, Esq. With, the addition of this new building to that part of the business section it makes the western side of Main street look better from uptown. o DAI T CTDTT/17C? ' nuu i onvinrjo m: e. church Some Damage to Brick Front and Tile Roof Caused By This During the course of a sudden electric storm on Wednesday evening", lightning struck one of the parapets on the front of the Conway Methodist Church. About a barrel full of brick, mortar and cement was knocked to one side and about the same quantity fell off and broke the tiling of the main roof, thus making a repair to the roof necessary. On the inside of the church just over the front door there was a sign as if the electric current had followed an opening through which the light wires had been carried, and ,'is it left the cement it knocked oft' some plaster and split the guides, in which the wires were carried. The negro sexton of the church was in the church at the time the lightning struck it. Vlo was frightened and stated that it took him sometime to remember that ho should pray. He rushed out of the building. Beyond his fright he was not injured. HOilsius opkn WITH BIG BALL Brilliant Affair Marks Opening of Season at Yacht Club The ball and reception given by the members and management of the Myrtle Beach Yacht Club at Myrtle Beach last Thursday night was a brilliant affair. It marked the opening of the magnificent clubhouse which has been in process of erection, until now it is entirely complete, with the furnishings, excepting a few details on the basement floors. Attending the ball last Thursday night were the members of the club, together with numbers of their friends invited for the occasion. There was about two hundred present. Many prominent people of Conway were there either as members of the club or as the invited guests of members. Most of the members attending the ball <1 id not return on Thursday morning, but remained at the club, either to finish out their intended stay at this time or for the purpose of atinn/lino* fVin Kii<inr?cs: mnnt inic r\f f l"?r> clul), which was held at tho offices of the club on Fridaj morning. It was understood that in addition to other business the matter of rates at the clul) would he fixed, also some rules under which the club will be operated and maintained. It is not intended as a profit-making enterprise, but only as a benefit for the members holding the memberships in the club and at the cost only of the actual expense of running the establishment. Different members, or groups of members, it was understood, would be given different duties to be performed in regard to the business and conduct (Continued or.

Will Go Oil With Trial on July The Sixth Clerk of Court W. L. Bryan held a reference trial as special master, under appointment of Judge Shipp last Thursday in the case of O. B. Hardwick, plaintiff, vs. W. E. Porter, defendant. The suit was brought for the foreclosure of a mortgage of real estate riven by Porter to Hardwick, dated in August, 1020, about the date that Hardwick offered for sale some building lots in the town of Loris at public auction. It appears that the sale was nv\de upon terms of one-third down and the balance to be secured by notes and mortgages of the property sole? maturing at one and two years in equal amounts. Among the lots disposed of to the highest bidders were lots Nos. 11 and 12 on a plat that had been made of the larger tract. W. J. Hughes purchased these two lots and paid to Hardwick the sum of $83.33, which was one-third of the bids that he made on the lots. Then Hughes sold out to W. E. Porter, the defendant, in this action for the sum of $100, for which at least as to part Hughes took Porter's note. Hughes then arranged wUU 1 ' " ...in ivciiitv\ iv;i\ iu nuiKe tine aeea ror these lots to Porter and take Porter's two notes for the remaining twothirds of the purchases, together with this mortgage now involved to secure these notes. Hardwick bought the original tract from D. D. Harrelson sometime before the s*a!e, paid part of the purchase money and gave Hard wick a purchase money mortgage for the balance that he was due. This mortgage was against the property, and still held by D. D. Harrelson, when these two lots were sold olT at auction, and this mortgage remained in D. D. Harrelson's hands until January (>, 1922, when he sold and transferred this mortgage to Henry Mullins, an attorney of Marion, S. C. The first note given by Porter matured in August, 1921. and although Hardwick asked him for payment he took no steps to enforce it, but let it stand over until sometime in January, 1922, he had obtained from Henry Mullins a release of lots 11 and 12 from the Harrelson mortgage and showed this release to Porter at the store of Gore Bros, in Loris and asked Porter to sign a renewal note. This Porter refused to do, on the ground that he did not think he could pay the note any more than he could pay the old ones that he had already given. It appears that it was then that Hardwick threatened to foreclose the mortgage and this suit was started for that nurnose. When I). D. Harrelson transferred tho mortgage to Henry Mullins the transfer was not promptly recorded. It bears date on January (>, 1922, but it appears that Porter had knowledge that the lots had been released and that ho had been told that Henry Mullins was tho owner of the njortgage and tho release of tho lots from Henry Mullins was on record in January, 1922, though without a probate until in May, 1922, when the probate was recorded. The defendant is contesting1 in the case, claiming that, owing to this prior mortgage that had existed against the lots, that Hardwick should not only release him from the notes and mortgages he gave him, but should refund to him tho amount that he paid out to W. J. Hughes when the deal was made as before stated. The case was not finished last Thursday, but was continued until July on motion of Porter's attorneys, who stated that a few days ago tho defendant's daughter was taken to a hospital at Florence, where she had to undergo a dangerous operation and that Porter had lost a great deal of sloop, and was unable to testify at this time; and it appears that other witnesses will he put on the stand by both sides at the next hearing.
