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.

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.

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.

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*

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

WALTER PORTER
SUED ON NOTES
Ulerk of Court Takes Testimony
Under Order
Judge Shipp
PORTERS DAUGHTER IS ILL
Case Not Finished Thursday.
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.
