ED T. HUGHES WAS PROMINENT Sudden Death of Lawyer is a Shock to the People of Conway FROM UNKNOWN CAUSES Passed Through Conway on Way Home Shortly Before iyctki/ii Conway was shocked last Wednesday morning' by hearing news of the untimely death of Ed Hughes, oT the law firm of Mullins & Hughes, practicing attorneys in our sister county for twenty years, or longet. At first there was only the barest rumor that Mr. Hughes had been poisoned, and whether he had taken it by accident or by means of , foul play, was not known in Conway for several hours. At last news came from a reliable source that Mr. Hughes ha! been found dead lying on a bed in his. residence, when his mother-in-law had been aroused by his not waking up, and he was found to have been dead for some time. An inquest was held in Marion and the verdict was that he had died from unknown causes. Miss Sadie Collins, a sister of Mrs. Math is, of Conway, was the private secretary of the firm of Mullins & Hughes. Mr. Hughes had been away during the day in Horry County, driving his car. He returned to Marion and went to his office in the late afternoon of that day and dictated a number of letters. He spoke of feeling unwell and said that he would go home and lie down and rest for a time. His family was awav. Tt was a habit of his to go by the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. W. D. Carmichael, near-by, and speak to her when returning from a trip away. < He did not do this on the occasion, and it was noticed by Mrs. Carmichael. Not hearing1 any norsc from the house and not seeing Mr. i Hughes in about the house, she went to see where he was. He was ] in bed apparently asleep. Nothing i else was done for some time. As 1 he did not wake up an investigation j was made later and he had been ; dead until the body was cold. 1 An inquest was held later thac ; evening and a verdict found that he < died from unknown causes. When the campaign for office was 1 opened this year for the announce- < ment of candidates, Mr. Hughes decided to make the race for Congress 1 from the sixth district.

Three cars were sold recently and other deals are on. A series of advertisements are arranged to run in the Horry Herald and tell the public about this wonderful car, which is not in the high price class, but is a car well made and durable and with the riding nualities far beyond many models for which more money is asked. Read about this car and see Mr. Cooper. CARD OF? THANKS 'r<? _r t ? ' ? iu nit- >ui.ci> m ii?ns i" reel net and Simpson Creek at large: I take this means of thanking you for you unanimous support. Although I had no opposition foi the office of magistrate at Lorls, virtually a unanimous registered vote was cast for me, and for tha? reason I feel highly complimented and will serve the people in the capacity of magistrate to the best of my ability, bearing in mind at all times the impartial administration of justice.

He had made many friends in Horry County anc, they would have stood by him and ?iven him a good vote in the primary; but for reasons which he published, he decided later to withdraw and he was not in the race for any office in the primary. He was in the active practice of the law in Marion and adjoining counties for more than twenty years. He was successful as a lawyer and was successful in the Legislature, where he served Marion county with great ability.

Holmes Russ and Tom Booth, as usual on such occasions, furnished the entertainment. Tom stood for Blease as of old. He carried his precinct for him with exception of ono vote. Holmes Russ has always opposed Blease. They look t uns at cracking jokes at each other, but it *va.> all good natured and brought big laughs. o FALSE REPORT DENIED Dear Mr. Editor: Will you please allow me space in your column for a short statement? I learned that it has been currently reported, and is still being1 reported that I said that if I were elected to the House of Representatives that I would close up all independent tobacco warehouses. I wish to state that the report is totally false and without foundation. I have never made any such statement, never had any such intention, and never thought ;>f such a thing until someone told ne of the report. I do not know whe started it or who is responsible for t, but there is not one scintilla of ;ruth in it. I have always taken the position that a man should have the light to sell his tobacco as he pleases, whether he wants to join the Co-operative Marketing Association is for him alone to determine, and is a matter with which the Legislature should have nothing to do. Yours truly, COKDIE PAGE. MAPLE NEWS $ The people of this section are all ooking forward to the Children's day ixercises to be held at Maple on Sac irday September 1G. The public r.ordially invited.

It is not believed that the results will be changed by the official count of the votes. TO VACCINATE ALL CHILDREN All children attending school in South Carolina must be vaccinated or have been vaccinated agalnsY small pox in the past five years and a certificate from a doctor shown to this effect, according to the sui>sJtance of an opinion rendered the past week to the State Board o: health by Samuel Wolfe, attorney general. This is no new law as explained by Dr. James A. Hayne, .^tate health officer, it having been on the books since 1905, but throught an inadvertency it was omitted from the book of instructions sent out by the State Department of Education to teachers and trustees.

Blease, he charged the newspapers with having lied on him and accusing him of stealing. A man in the audience vexclaimed: "Yes, he'll steal, but I'd vote for him if I knew he'd steal my mule tonight." ballots that I was their choice in the race to serve them as Auditor for the next, two years. Your placing this confidence in me is indeed gratifying and I will play no traitor to that confidence which you have placed in me. {Sincerely your friend, JAMES A.
