Leonard and Sons, brokers, of Charleston, S. C. Mr. Bryan did not leave Horry because he does not like it. There is no section in the whole country that he likes better. He wishes Horry all of the success that is possible for in her schools, roads and her markets. The traveling man for Mr. Bryan's firm was in Horry recently and re-" turned to Charleston to report that vthis county is in better shape financially and materially than any county he h.ns visited this fall. This speaks for Horry. * o THE BAR MEETS The Conway bar held a meeting yesterday and arranged a list of causyesterday and arranged a list of cases for trial at the term of the Court of Common Pleas, beginning on Monday, October 23rd. \ Some fifty cases are on this list for trial at that term.

An examination of the pleadings at "he courthouse a few days ago brings :o light a lot of history that will be A ...Ji-U J ' ir,3U WI?<? Kieat interest oy (Jonwavites of today. The town of Conway in its complaint alleges, among other things, he passage of an ordinance about ten years ago forbidding the use of public streets and avenues by the railroad company. The ordinance remained a dead letter from the day it vas placed on the books as the railroad company paid no attention to it, and its tracks remained on Main Street where they had been from the year of 1887. After the passage of the ordinance requiring the clearance of Main Street by the company, efforts were made from time to time to get the railroad officials to comply. There was nothing done. ,In the answer set up by the railroad company it appears that the company claims the use of the street by reason of a so-called contract and also by reason of the long use of the land. The answer alleges the application made to the County Commissioners by petition of the railroad company, the forerunner of the present owner, for a decree of the County Board allowing the company to lay its tracks on Main Street through the town of Conway down to the Waccamaw River. The answer sets out the petition executed by W. H. Chadbourn and gives a copy of the decree that followed. These instruments are here published: Petition of the Wilmington, Chadbourn and Conway Railroad Company to the County Commissioners of Horry County for a Decree permitting the Building of Track along and across certain Streets in the village of Conway, 'S.

That in running along the said street, the track will cross the following streets, viz: The street leading by the Lewis Grist Mill to Kingston Lake; The sti'eet leading by the Court House to the Bridge across ^aid ' Lake, and the street passing South of the Pope House to the River. 5. That while it is not deemed absolutely necessary to obtain a Decree of your Honorable body granting permission to the petitioners so to use said highway, yet your petitioner prefers to have your sanction to said use. Wherefore it prays your Honorable Board to make a Decree granting said Railroad Company permission to construct its track on said main street or highway in said unincorporated village of Conway, as heretofore indicated.

The witness stated that he told him he could not do it, and Buffkin insisted. ButTkin said witness might have to attend to Jackson's yetThen he said to look after Jackson the best he could as he did not suppose Jackson would do a d? thing after he (ButTkin) left.
