' - - , uu v/narge oi Adultery With Woman Another raid was made on Satur-' J day night September 2nd, by V. D. Johnson, of the Horry County Rural Police, and John Chestnut, constable f under Magistrate W. H. Chestnut. 1 Furney Ward was arrested in the i home of Mary Baker, not far front < Conway, and was put under bond for the violation of the whiskey ' laws, in that there was found in the Mary Raker home, where Ward was in bed asleep, one gallon of whiskey 1 and a cap belonging to a still. i In one comer of the room wa.. i found a barrel used for fermenting I the mash or molasses water used In I making "monkey rum." There was ( found also in this house two empty '< molasses ke^s. The contents of the < kegs had doubtless been usfjd In 1 making the last run of the rum of i which last lot this gallon must have < been the last remnant unsold. < The officers slipped up to the i house and took Ward out of a bed : in ihe woman's house and Ward was ] calmly sleeping away the hours when j the officers called. Mary Baker 1 herself, was not at home just at the time, but was at Roy Sessions' the j home of a neighbor. 1 It is found that Horry County is ; helping to support Mary Baker, the 1 place where the whiskey was found, t * She has some children also on the < poor list- The county pays Mary j Baker the sum of five dollars per ] month to aid in getting food for ] the family. 1 Furney Ward is already under in- , < d\ctment for living in adultery with * Mary Baker. He was presented with \ a true bill by the grand jury some j time ago, and he was placed under < iwtnil mulor f Imf plmrtro unmo mr>n tVv? I , ago. It appears that he had not j changed his way of life for he was \ still living with the woman when < overtaken by this last charge of j violation of the prohibition laws. j ' BETTERMAILS i SEPTEMBER 18 J New Route to be Established ' From Marion to Conway Except Sundays ; SEALED PROPOSALS FILED i j Conway-Marion Bus Line is i Doubtless Will Bid for Work \ Other Bids Made i < Advertisements were posted up . at various places recently asking for ( proposals to carry the Dnited States j mails from Marion by Iiains, Galli- ] | vants Ferry, Aynor, to Conway, j l thirty-five miles and back, six times ^ a week, every day except Sunday. < I The bids for taking the mails were ^ | asked to be filed under seal at the . , office of the fourth assistant post- j master general. The time for mak- f ing these bids closed on September 5th. The actual carrying of the mails ( under the contract, whenever it is , let, will begin on September 18th, and will continue under the con- . tract until June 30th, 1924, a period of two years. The mails will leave Marion as i soon as the mail is received from i the train, every day, except Sun- c day, due at 9:24 o'clock, but not later, in case, than 11 o'clock A. M., will arrive at Conway in three hours. ; Returning toward Marion, the mail s will leave Conway every day, ex cept Surtday, at 3 o'clock P. M., and . ? will arrive at Marion hv fi o'rlnok. : I This change in the carrying of the K mails will result in petting mail B away from Conway sooner and ge>. I ting it on its long reach for its destination instead of going around by Chadbourn, in North Carolina. On the other hand, it will bring tho w incoming mail to Conway and other |j places along the route much sooner If than it has been reaching those places. It will be very convenieni P' for the people and the advertisement I] said that the mails would be colmJ lected along the way each day. It is understood that the Marlon Conway Bus Line are bidders for K this contract and that they will likely get it, as they can doubtles: undertake to carry this mail cheaper than anybody else. It was not B verified, however, that they were H bidding for this route. w The advertisement stuck up for a long time at the postofTice here an<* B at other places and were read by H many people who could arrange to V carry the route. It is believed that m a number of bids were filed but at B a late hour the successful bidder had not been announced.

In years gone by Horry has been famous for the holding of second and even third contests for the election of men to fill its offices. Voters may remember the time when W. D. Lawrimore was a candidate for the House of Representatives, and the time the voters had of deciding who should go to represent them in the General Assembly. Now Horry is different. The voters have elected their men on the first round. Last week most of the voters of bhe county would have predicted a second race for member of the House if for nothing else. As the votes began to come in this feature of the first primary was not considered. It lid not become noticable until Into ctt night, after the totals had been drawn down and the facts given by the figures clearly understood. Then it appeared that the voters of the county had made a clear shot out :?f the box for each and every office :o be filled this time, and that even for the Legislature, where the people so often tie up in the matter of x choice, there would be no second race. A farmer school teacher and a Treacher of the Gospel, won out for the House of Representatives with Apparently little effort. Prince featured his campaign for reduction of -axes so far as possible on every ?tump in the county campaign. He ;old of how he had favored the new revenue measures that had greatly rnducpd fhp |pvv ?r thp tnv. saying season. He must have won >n that score. J. Robert Carter told ill over Horry County, how he had >een elected by the vote of the people two years ago and had been counted out at the last on account )f having failed to file an expense account as required by the rules of :he party. He wanted a chance to show what he could do and he promised that no man would carry the interests of the people more at heart, -han vhewould, if again chosen by the voters to take up his duties in Columbia next January. He must lave. won out on this appeal to the people to go back to the polls and again vote for the man of theii choice for this important position. Now arises the question as to who will pay the cost of holding the second primary in this county for the election of the State candidates who will run over. While there is no second race for any county office in Horry, there is a second primary in the State for State officers. The luestion of who would pay for the election on such a contingency as this, was brought up at the county convention. It is sure to be the fact that the assessments paid in by the county candidates will fall far short of paying the cost of even the first primary let alone the added cost of holding the second one, which will result in the election of only State candidates. The Horry committee no doubt intends to make the State candidates pay for the expense and we think they should do this by all means, rhere is no other way that is fair and right. It is apparent that this is one contingency that has been unprovided .for in the rules of the party. ft mav ho t;ikon rnro of liihor on form of conveyance.

Thomas of Winthrop College Was the Man in Charge The educational Western trip conducted by Dr. Roy Z. Thomas of Winthrop Collect?. Surely it must be the ideal way to travel! The party consisted of 67 people from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. All of them went for a good time with the determination to see everything possible, make friends with every member of the party and attempt anything: the next one would. With Dr. Thomas, a most experienced and expert guide, as the leader, the members of the party had absolutely no responsibility. Two tourist cars were chartered and every member of 'he fvir y called them "Home," for they went a'l the ^ay, were parked at each large city as long as the party wanted to lemain and were accessible at any time. There was no worry about tickets, for the secretary of the party kept them all. There w/is no worry about men's; for they were arranged for before we g,ot there and were paid for by the scretary. There was no worry about cars to take us sight seeing; for chartered cars were at the train to meet us at every place. There was no worry about catching' a street c;ir, for there were "specials for the Thomas Party" and the fare was already paid. There was no waiting for trains; for when night came the party went to the cars and some time during the night (we did'nt know when), they were attached to a tram and taken to the next city where sight seeing began again. Within one month the party saw wonders of the Western U. S. and Canada. Every day there was something new and interesting to see. The party crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains following the French Broad River as it makes its way through the mountains, then went into the blue grass region of Tennessee and Kentucky and across the farm lands of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and finally across the grain fields of Michigan, Wisconsin and North Dakota, Stops were made and sight seeing trips arranged at all the large cities: Knoxville, Cincinnati, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul. We then went out of our own country and into Canada where we crossed the prairie district and then entered the Canadian Rockies. In the very heart of the mountains three days were spent in the Canadian National Park visiting the falls, lakes, glaciers, snow covered mountains and mountain passes, besides the cities of Banff, Glacier and Lake Louise. Then the Party crossed the Canadian Desert country to Vancouver where we went by boat to Seattle via Victoria and from there to Portland where we enjoyed the 35 mile ride on the Columbia River Highway. In San Francisco the party enjoyed seeing the city, Golden Gate Park, China Town, the Pacific Ocean, and riding on the bay and seeing the adjoining towns of Berkley, Clermont and Oakland. Just across the bay the party rode on the crookedest railroad in the world and saw Muir Woods? t.hr? homo of thr "Ritr trees of Califor ilia." Three days were spent in Los Angeles and surrounding territory in seeing Pasidina (the pretty town of Cal.). Hollywood (the home of the movie stars), Venice (the Coney Island of the Pacific) and Cataline Island where the famous submarine gardens are. Three days were then spent in Yellow Stone Park in seeing the geysers, hot sulphur springs, lakes, yellow stone river canyon, and Mammoth terraces and cascades. In Salt Lake City we did not fail to hear the organ recital in the famous Morman temple ************************** % THE BIG DIFFERENCE * * ? * Next Tuesday there is a se- J * cond primary, in which Cole * * Blease and Thomas G.

D. Johnson, and J. K. King, both of the. rural police, with James A. Lewis, sheriff of Horry County, raided the premises of a man by the name of Floyd. They took and tore up two stills, one of which was of regulation copper, the other a homemade affair of an oil tank and attachments. These stills were located in tin bay near the residence of Floyd, and were within fifty yards of each other. The place is located between Fair RlutT and Causey, S. C., just within the line of Horry County. Being near the line ii wouid have been easy for the operator to l,... - . VT .. ~ i.c*vc ^uiit- uvlt u? iNonn uaroiina, and by laying off he would have avoided arrest. But he was taken unawares by the officers before ho could make an effort at escape. Floyd lives on the premises of Mrs. Walters, near Fair Bluff, N. C. He had no sign of having planted and raised a crop on the place, but was only a tenant of the house where he was arrested, and near which these two stills were being operated. The officers are uncertain as to whether Floyd is the only on? concerned in the stilling of whiskey here. As there were two stills, the officers suspect that there was a partner, as it would take two men to keep both of the plants at work. Floyd's wife died about two week-? ago and left four or five little children who are entirely dependent upon the husband and father for their support. Floyd was placed under arrest but the officers decided to handle his case in the United States court as this might take him away from the little children much less of , the time. The still had not been used within three or four days. In a barre' which was located about forty yard* from the house the officers found three or four gallons of sour mash. This was evidently the leavings from a charge that had been run some time lately. VOTERSGATHER WANTING FACTS Number of Visitors Were Here on Last Thursday and Friday interested!^ governor Second Race Between Gasque and St oil Awakens a Lively Interest The people continued to come into town last week alter the night of the election to discuss results of the primary, and to get the latest news from the vote over the State. The main interest was in the race for governor. It soon bcame generally known that Blease had received more votes in the primary than it was expected he would get; that McLeod also made a good run and that these two would run over in a second race on Sentem her 12th, next Tuesday; that according to the general opinion of the people, Blease would so down in defeat in this second primary. It also became generally known that Swciaringen and Hope would make a second race for the superintendent's place; that E. B. Jackson had apparently been nominated on the first ballot for lieutenant governor; and W. Banks Dove for Secretary of State; Walter E. Duncan was renominated for Comptroller General; Robert E. Craig for Adjutant General; B. Harris, for Commissioner of Agriculture by a big majority; and that as to the Attorney General, Sam'l M. Wolf had a big lead over D. M. Win(Continued on Local Page.) lers, but might have to run over with and to go swimming in Great Salt I ,ike. In Colorado Springs the. party visited the Garden of the Gods, where the Indians used to worship the images of animals in the natural rock, the cave of the Winds and the very top of Pikes Peak. Stops were made in Denver, Kansas City and St.. Louis on the return trip to S. C. Surely one could not have seen more in a month or had a more enjoyable trip than did the members of this party. Dr. Thomas is a teacher of natural science and was able to explain to his party the wonders of our own country and took aa interest in each individual member of his party. Mrs. J. C. Spivey and Mis* Lucy Spivey were fortunate in being I members of such a party.
