VOLUME XXXVII GALLIVANTS HAS GREAT FOURTH 'Speakers Talk to Big Crowd of' People Who Enjoy Themselves BATH HOUSE- IS USED Hereafter the Fourth Will be rri, rv A 11 n 1 o + xuc Aiuiuai u v uiit ai Gallivants F. Bridge The Fourth was a specially noted day at Gallivant's Ferry. A picnic and public speaking were the features that drew a crowd. These were advertised in the Horry Herald, the Mu11 ius Enterprise, and in the Marion Star. The occasion had advance mention in some of the daily papers of this state. Many Conway people and many Horryites living between Conway and Gallivant's Ferry preferred the picnic and public speaking to the joys of the winds by the seaside. The crowd that attended was variously estimated as from one to two thousand people, counting men, women and children. There was nothing short about the dinner, except more people who could have been fed just as well as the big crowd that actually took it in. One of the things enjoyed was the bathing in the waters of the Little Vec Dee River. At great expense George .J. llollid.uy has constructed a walkway leading out to the sand bar in the middle of the stream just above the long bridge that spans the boundary line between the two counties. There is a bathhouse in connec"J tion with the board walk so that conft veniences there are the equal of any place in the state where bathing is indulged in. The crowds took advantage of the occasion to take a dip in the cooling waters. The Marion correspondent of the News and Courier, writing to his paper the latter part of the week, says of the occasion: "The Fourth was gloriously celebrated at Gallivant's Ferry with a W big picnic, attended by people from * the entire Pee Dee section. Speaking during the morning and afternoon I as well as the usual swimming, boating, music and dancing were features of the program. "Among those who spoke were the United States Senator E. I). Smith, D. R. Coker of Hartsville; Solicitor L. M. Gasque, Congressman P. H. Stoll, John Blank, Kentucky tobacco grower, and Charles W. Muldrow, candidate for solicitor of the twelfth judicial district. H. .K. .Cook of Horry county, presided during the speaking. "Much interest and enthusiasm was manifested in the speeches by the large crowd which was in attendance from Florence, Dillon, Marion and "Horry counties. Senator Smith's speech attracted especial attention. Among the many things which he spoke of was the co-operative mar I.I it. keting of cotton and tonacco. tie heartily indorsed both, urging all farmers who had not already signed contracts to do so at once. "Mr. Coker's address dealt with the poisoning of the boll weevil, while Mr. Blank delivered a strong argument in favor of the co-operative marketing of tobacco. A sumptuous picnic dinner, including famed Horry fried chicken and little Pee Dee fish, was served under the high pines which shade the water's edge. "The bathhouse and amusement pavilion of George J. Holliday was the scene of great activity and merrymaking. It was estimated that between 1,500 and 2,000 people were present on the picnic grounds at one time and another. "The committee on arrangements for the picnic was composed of H. Kemper Cooke, W. M. Wise, L. U. Hagood, II. N. Johnson, J. N. Gerald, Edward IPoyle, George J. Holliday, George L. Price, George M. Huggins, P. M. Coleman and S. It. Pipkin. It, has been decided to make the picnic at Gallivant 's Ferry an annual Fourth of July affair..

(The DEEP CHANNEL UP TO PIREWAY Conway Chamber Takes up This Matter With Senators in Washington The Conway Chamber of Commerce has taken up with Senators E. D. Smith and N. B. Dial the matter of securing an appropriation for construction of a four-foot channel on the Waccamaw River from Red Bluff, S. C., to Pireway, N. C. This matter was recently taken up with Congressman Philip H. Stoll, but at that time the rivers and harbor bill h id been acted on by the committee and it was impossible to secure an amendment which would benefit the Waccamaw. Recently Congressman Stoil wired Senators Smith and Dial, urging them to use their influence t<> have an amendment inserted in ihe bill when it was considered by the Senate, so that this worK would be authorized as a project by Congress. The Chamber of Commerce hn < addressed the following letter to Senators Dial and Smith: "Congressman Philip H. Stoll lias shown me his recent telegram to you and your reply thereto, with reference to improvement of Uie Waccamaw River north of Conway. At present we have a four-foot channel from Conway to Red Bluff. What we now wish to do is to extend this channel from Red Bluff, S. C., to Pireway, N. U. This would be, I think, wliat is known as a new project. Our idea is to have this project authorized by Congress so that work may he begun. "While this improvement will he of immense local benefit to the sections traversed by the river, it .vill have at the same time an additional value as being a link in the intra-coastal waterway, which extends along the I seaboard from New York to Florida. In 1916 Congress appropriated $1,000,000 for work on the inland waterway through the states of Virginia and North Carolina to Beaufort, N. C. Our understanding is that this work has been completed along the seaboard to Beaufort. Beginning at Georgetown it has been completed to some point in Florida. The link from Beaufort to Georgetown is still uncompleted. An adequate channel exists from Red BlufT, fifteen miles above Conway, to Georgetown. The extension of this channel from Red Bluff to Pireway* will do much to close the gap now existing between Red BlufT and Beaufort, N. C. "We are enclosing herein a copy of a letter recently addressed by us to Major G. R. Young, chief of engineers at Charleston, and a copy of a map showing the territory affected. This will give you a very clear idea of the situation and should put you in posN tion to understand the practical necessity for the improvement which we seok. We will ask that you return both the map and the copy of our letter to us when you have finished with them, since they are needed for our files. "We cannot too strongly urge upon you our request for your assistance in this matter. It was due to an oversight of Congressman Ragsdale that ??*a 'iimi'iiiiri'il i/\ii Ifll" this work was <in ??I' t'? "!' not made in lOlfi, when appripriations were made for all sections of the coast except the section from Beaufort to Red Bluff, S. C. This is important for iN 1 arge hearing on the utility of the intro-coastal waterway. It is equally as important from a local standpoint to a large tract of "Virgin teiTitory remote from railroad connection. to which river transportation would he the greatest imaginable l)OOIl." o MOTTK BUSINESS COLLEGE GONE Business men of Conway were sorry to learn that the Motto Business College, which was established here several months ago, was compelled to close its doors last week and wait until September 1, when it may be able? to go on again. . The reason for closing the school just at the time was lack of patronage during tin* hot summer days, when the teachers found it impossible to keep the classes up to the. required number. The management says that it may he possible to open the school again about September 1. .V.V.V.V^V.V%WAV/AV,V,Vr V.V.V.V.V.V.V.V.V.V.W.V.V. iR AND FIFTY i Tk a mart lAfliA JL Jit 111UX1 TT**Vf vtv it time is about o1 Id.

LONG HIGHWAY THROUGH HERE Two Representatives of Auto Association Came Through MEANS MUCH TO CONWAY When this Route is Mapped out and Roads Connected Will Bring Travel Two representatives of the United States Automobile Association recently passed through this section, interested in the Chicago-Myrtle I.-ench highway. This is the same project in which the Calhoun Highway Association organized in several of the nearby states and including South Carolina was deeply interested at the meeting held at Myrtle Reach. The representatives of the automobile association gave their names as A. P. Lallier and L. O. Smith. They were not out to collect any money for the enterprise, but simply to try to get the people along the proposed highway interested in the project. They stopped at all of the important points in this section of the state and talked up the new "road. There are roads already for most of the way. They only need connecting up and certain sections joined up with good construction. The United States Automobile Association is deeply concerned in the matter for the establishment of such a road will do as much for the industry as anything' that could be accomplished. Mr. Lallier states that he has pro1-1 i- :...i K..? i\..* .... moieu many m^ii\\;j\>, i?m ui<ti original proposition lie has never found a better layout than is. offered on this highway; that he finds the route in splendid condition most of the way and that the few traps of mean going will soon he remedied. It is the purpose of the U. S. Automobile Association to keep Mr. Lallier and others busy on this route until the whole is in fine condition, at which time the entire route will be mapped by the association and adopted by all tourists from the west to the Atlantic coast. When this route is shown on the association's tourists' map, much travel will be thrown this way. The Chicago-Myrtle Beach Highway will approximate a route through Conway Marion, Florence, Monroe, Clvirlottc, Gastonia, Rutherfordton, Asheville, Knoxville, Cincinnati, Chicago. As a route to the west it will avoid the long hike north to Washington and the long hike ,?outh through Alabama. Messrs. Lallier and Smith seemed to be simply seeking interest, and not money. They evidently believe that when county and state authorities see this route on paper they will be interested and will cause the roads involved to be put in condition and krpt up.

LAND CASE IS HEARD AGAIN The clerk of the court, appointed as special referee, finished the taking of the testimony last Thursday morning in the case of O. B. Hardwick against W. E. Porter, for the foreclosure of a purchase money mortgage. The hearing had been started on June 15 and not finished. Last Thursday morning the plaintjxr ..i .1 _ i i *i.. ii ?.... mi ptavcu uu nit* bvuiiu wiii ir'iii \ Mullins, of the Marion bar, and by him established the date of a release signet! by him releasing from a mortgage that had been transferred to him from D. D. Harrelson, lots 11 and 12, the same lots described in the mortgage being foreclosed. Miss Sadie Collins, stenographer in the law offices of Messrs. Mullins & Hughes, was sworn and proved the execution of this release by Mr. Mullins. The probate on the release was dated January 25, 1922, whereas it had not been recorded until in May, 1 i)22. This delay was explained by the illness of Mr. Mullins while ho spent about six weeks in the hospital in Richmond. W. J. Hughes, another witness for the plaintiff, stated that he, Mr. Hughes, had purchased the two lots at the auction sale which O. B. Hardwick had put on in 1920. He .said that later he sold his bid to \V. 10. Porter who agreed to pay Hughes his promissory note, and following the giving of this note to him by Porter, he had told Hardwick to make title to Porter and let Porter give him the purchase money mortgage for the remaining two-thirds of the purchase price of the lots. The plaintiir himself was recalled to the stand to tell several facts in relation to the transaction and which cleared up the matter of the release from the Harrelson mortgage before Hardwick took any legal steps to collect the mortgage that he held by action in the court. Mr. Horry Gore, of the firm of Gore Bros., of Loris, told about a transaction in the store at Loris wherein Hardwick had shown the release to Porter and demanded that he give him a renewal of the two notes which Por ter refused when HardwicK reiuseci to allow him any discount from the amount. The defendant testified in his own behalf, saying that before he took a title to the lots the plaintiff had said that there was nothing against the lots. He also said that he had found out about this mortgage after he took the title, and when Hardwick asked him to pay he said he would not until his lots were released from the Harrelson mortgage. The defendant also had Mr. G. B. Hardee on the stand as a witness. The decision in the c^ise was deferred. LARGE BEETLES 1 EAT THE BEANS Ugly Buq Found in Conway Does Not Answer Description SEVERAL STATES TAKEN Specimen is Different Variety From the One Told of by The Columbia Record The bandit beetle, an arch enemy of the bean crop, w,us believed to have made its appearance in Conway, where it attacked the beans growing; in the garden of a negro family. At least this was the conclusion reached by the colored people following the discovery of a big, ugly beetle that was eating up the beans the other day. The "lady bird" beetle had been described on a feature page of the Columbia Record in its issue of .June 22. On the page* appeared pictures of the bandit beetle, showing him in all of his hideous colors and characteristics, but the picture was an enlarged showing of the insect.

SUNDAY AFFRAY AT GREEK CAFE Defendant Vaught is Not Guilty According to The Jury B. D. Vaught was tried in the municipal court at tlie city hall last Monday morning; on a charge of having cut the Greek waiter at the New York Cafe with a knife, and was cleared of the charge by the verdict of a jury empaneled to try the case: Dr. N. Sweet A. D. Graham Hal L. Buck J. H. Marsh J. E. Dawsey. Vaught is tlie proprietor of one of the barber shops of Conway and for some time has been keeping a room on the second floor of the Cafe building, renting the room from the management of the Cafe and sometimes taking a meal there, though boarding most of the time in a private family. G. Benetato, the Greek proprietor of the C.il'e, was the prosecutor in the case. The prosecution came about as the result of occurrences on Sunday, the day before the trial. At about on Sunday Mr. YV.i ught walked across the street to the sidewalk to find out what time it was. On the sidewalk was the Greek waiter in the restaurant. Just before going across there the defendant had been talking to Dr. .J. S. Dusenbury and was using a knife on his finger nails. This knife was still in his hand when he wont to the Iront ot the C ate. Upon reaching the sidewalk the Greek began to play, slapping at his hand and tho other slapping hack. All at once the Greek stooped and said he had been cut. It appeared from the testimony that there was no had feeling of any kind between the two parties .and that they were playing at each other as they had done a number of times before while being in or about the Cafe. When he saw that the Greek had been hurt lie endeavored to get him to go to the barber shop, where he could treat (he wound with medicine he had there, and they started when G. Benetato, the proprietor of the Cafe, came out of the Cafe and claimed that the cutting had been done on purpose and insisted on having a trial. Bond was made for trial at 10 o'clock on Monday morning and resulted in an acquittal for the defendant, it being proved that the cutting took place while at play and it was not realized that the knife was still in his hand when the Greek began to play. beetle was found, is occupied by the descendents of Green Bellamy. It Is his estate land whereon the garden is planted. One of the colored girls fouiwl this ugly bug, which was really a monster in the beetle line, and was so exercised by the discovery that sirtook the bug over to Aunt Binkie Davis. Aunt Binkie placed the inon ster in a fruit iar and brought it to the Herald ofVice. The beetle shown here was ahout one and one-hall' inches long hy al)oi?t one inch in width, measured with his win us and other attachments closed When found, ho was making* groat headway in a hunch of heans. The signs left hy him on the heans show that this pest can make way with a big crop when the hug's are there in sufficient numbers to do the work. It is stated in the article in the daily newspaper that the invasion of a beetle now covers New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Alabama. While the insect found here is a different variety, yet the appearance is very strikingly liko the picture shown in the article apd the one here is a bean destroyer of great .ability, but he is too large. In 1010 a Southern farmer p'antod an acre of beans, lie received $100 for his crop and in addition his wife put up /i quantity for their own use. He doubled his acreage in 1020.

VV. Ci. Shipp recently when the matter was argued before him on an a.irreecl statement of facts by Hon. R. B. Scarborough on the one side and Walter Hazard of Georgetown on the other. It is the case of Frances B. Anderson and Hattie A. Young, plaintiffs, against Jonathan 1. Hazard, trustee; Alice A. Tillman and Norma A. Roes, defendants. The matter is interesting to Horryites because it arises out of a trust deed made In* (.'apt. Henry Buck on the l~?th day of September, 1S70 to William \.. lUick as trustee, transferring to William L. Buck 421 shares of 1he capital stock of the Peoples National Bank of Charleston, to be held by him and the income paid annually iii certain shares to his wife, Mrs. Frances ll. Buck, and to his daughters, Misses Alice Buck. Frances Buck and Lucinda Gilbert, and to his daughter, Mrs. Mary J. Sarvis. At the death of any of the beneficiaries the surviving children of the deceased was to have such share of this stock transferred to them as would produce the share of income thereby provided so that at the death of the last of the beneficiaries the entire capital fund, represented l>y the hank stock, would be distributed by the trustee and he would he done with tjie trust. As time went on some of the beneficiaries died and their shares of the b:ink stock worn transferred to the heirs as provided in the deed of trust. It was provided by the deed that the income of the stock from time to time should be paid out annually to the beneficiaries named. In the course of time all of the beneficiaries died, according to an agreed statement of facts on which the case was heard, so that when the present suit was brought, the plaintiff, Mrs. Frances B. Anderson, was the only surviving beneficiary to receive the annual income, and the only surviving remaindermen, under the trust deed to receive the remainder of the stock at her death were her children, the other parties in the cause, Mrs. Hattie A. Young, Mrs. Alice A. Tillman, and Mrs. Norma A. Uees, all being the daughters of Mrs. Frances B. Anderson. In the course of the execution of the trust some of this income had been invested in the stock of other banks, according to the statement. In the year 11 > 10 the stockholders the PeoDles Bank voted to increase ho capital stock of the institution l>y the issue of 2,000 now shares, each share to he of the par value of $100, provided there should he paid to each then stockholder, out of the undivided profits of the hank a stock dividend equal to f>0 per cent of his or their holdings.
