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

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

environs was . ?, and appreciated by

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

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.

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

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

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.
The place in Conway, where the
way and Myrtle Beach than business
men here would seem to realize just
now. The coming of men like Lallier
and Smith will make them up and get
them to doing things to help the movement.

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.

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

ANCIENT TRUST

Judge Shipp Decides Matter in

HEARING HERE FRIDAY
Several Lawyers of Conway
Bar Arc Called to Testily
Before Master
An interestino* <nit wnc
" O ' ?? v " \IV VV I IIIIIIVM
by the order of Judge S. 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. Under this resolution the v
