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. He announced
his candidacy in all the pay

The agency for the sale of Durant
cars is in the hands of Julian Cooper
and he is already making1 fine headway
in pushing the car.
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.

Although I had no opposition foi

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,

Aynor is situated in the center of V
one of the best tobacco growing sections

LARGE CROWD
HEARS RETURNS
The crowd that attended the hearing
of returns the boxes last
night was larger than the crowd was
on the occasion of the first primary.
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.

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,

TO VACCINATE

small pox in the past five years and

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

it was omitted from the book
of instructions sent out by the

BLEASE'S FRIENI)
In the midst of a political speech
that was being made last week by
Cole L. 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.
