ROB GRAINGER
MAKES ESCAPE
An attempt was made last Thursday
niirht by officers and men of
Floyds township to arrest Rob Grainger,
in that section, charged with tho
violation of the whiskey laws.
The^men in tho party consisted of
W. 0. Hooks, Kirk Vina ^loyd, Olen
Blanton. Dunk Meares, Cart and Joe
Anderson, and M. M. Home.
Grainger had been out of the way
for a time and according to some reports
had left for some place unknown
in North Carolina. At least he had
been seen at home on the evening of
Thanksgiving Day and as soon as
this was found out the officers and
'\en, an hour or two arterwards, got
M. M. Home to pro with them and
vent to get Grainger.
As the party were approaching the
louse tho gun of Kirkland Floyd was
accidentally discharged and this probably
p:ave Grainger warning of their
\pproach. Immediately after this,
according to reports, the party sent
M. M. Home to the house while the
rest of the party waited and stood
guard on the outside. Grainger was
not there.
At that time Grainger's wife was
in the house. On last Friday mornug
she was gone.
It is likely that Grainger has made
good his escape this time.

HORN INCIDENT
M. M. Horn Interviewed by
the Horry Herald
MANY FALSE" STORIES
Horn Came Off the Jim Gibson
Bond of His Own
Accord
Ml*. M. M nonollt. I'-" ? - "
v?ouau%v r\lli>v> (1
Mace Horn, who was visited by a
body of the Ku Klux Klan, was interviewed
here by a Herald reporter
in order to learn Mr. Horn's attitude
in regard to his rough experience and
as to the ex.uct truth concerning- the
almost numberless stories going the
rounds about the affair, now several
weeks old.
Mr. Horn bore on his person the
signs of the work that was done on
him. Both of his ears showed scars
on the lobes where a sharp i nsf.runient
had apparently been forced into
the flesh, forming a slit, at this
time, however, thoroughly healed up
and closed.
, Mr. Horn said that the masked
men asked him general questions
about the Bailey affair. He did not
care to repeat for publication just
what questions were asked and just'
what he answered.
He said that some time before ho
was handled in this manner, he was
called out at night. When he weivt
out to th<* gate he found a note on the
gate post telling him among other
things to quit harboring any guilty
parties in the Bailey affair, etc. He
said that he had no idea that this
note was instituted by members of
the Ku Klux Klan, but supposed that
the note or letter was gotten up by
some party or parties in the community
who wanted to take sides in the
matters mentioned, and came as ho
thought from some enemy or enemies.
He heard no more about it until he
was taken out later.
Mr. Horn also said that it is a mistake
th.it he was told to come otT the
bond of Jim Gibson, but that the party
only warned him to discontinue
<f ?rwliiu>- bonds for nponle charged
with crimes; that although the Gibson
bond was not mentioned or referred
to. that he actually came otT
this bond in order to show to the public
generally that he was willing to
co-operate and try to do the right
tHn?\ Tn this connection he remarked
that if he knew his own brother
had shot Bailey, that he would not
iv*t stand his brother's bond. Ffce went
on to say that many tales are going
about as to things he has said ami
Miings ho has done, but that he would
>nlv have to say that half that was
'*eing told coming from him is not
true. He said that he has l>een asked
about the afTair by a great many
who met him since the occurrence,
and that he has not told anv of them
?me i f t he things that have 1 een
'.old and written that he told them.
Furthemore, it is not true thi.t Gibson
left the State and went to North
Carolina; that when he, Horn, came
off the bond of Gibson, and later when
he was ordered by the masked men
to move Gibson ofT his p'are, that
Gibson moved to the farm of Mr. Boyd
Ford, and that later Mr. Ford became
bail for Gibson. He said that
he came ofT the Jim Gibson bond in
order to show that he was not frying i
to cloak anybody in any crime that j
suspicion might lay at any man's j
rlnnr Tn nil inmiirirtc ho Ins cnirl t
as little as possible about any of the
natters connected in the .affair. He
lid not wish to talk to the newspaper
Men except in an effort to correct
<onve of the things that have been
minted at the request of the newspaper,
and in order that the facts
may appear as they are.
It is being- told far and wide that
Horn said he knew several of the parties
who called him out and punished
him, and that he, Horn, had employed
attorneys to investigate and prosecute
the parties. As to this Mr.
Horn says that there is not a word
of truth in the statement; that he
does not know, or have the least
suspicion, as to the identity of any of
he parties, and he has not employed
inv attorney, or attorneys to represent
him in the matter; but he wants
the matter to pass as a very unpleasant
experience in his life.
It was stated as being true that he
was questioned about the Rob Grainier
affair about the whiskey. He did
not care to repeat what he told the
men about this or what he told them
about the Bailey affair of some month"
ago.
He said that it was a mistake that
Grainger had run away to North
Carolina. It appeared that Grainier
m;iv hnvA h?v>n #?ludint? the officers.
but if he had left the" State it was
unknown at the time.

APPEAL CASE
Verdict in Case Against Landlord
Attacked in Higher
Court
PLAINTIFF SHARECROpPER
Facts About Case Explained
in Brief For the Supreme
Court
The case of J. F. Hard wick, respondent
against Gaston W. Page,
appellant, was argued on appeal in
the Supreme Court one day last week,
in Columbia, the plaintiff.? respondent*
J. F. Hardwick represented Oy Sherwood
& McMillan, anil
appellant, by Cordie Pag^.
This appeal from a verdict for
Hardwick for the value of a cro{>
was to have been heard in the Supreme
Court last May, at the spring*
term of the court, but for lack of
time at tlvit term, the case was continued
until last week. The attorneys
concerned were away for severaF
days last week in attendance upon the
court, and the case was ably argued
by both sides to the controversy.
There is no way to tell just when
the decision of the Supreme Court
will be known. The opinion may be
filed in a very short time, or it may
be number of weeks before it will
be published.
The case was tried here before
Hon. R. W. Memmenger as presiding
judge at one of the terms of the court
of common pleas in 1921, and resulted
in a verdict against the defendant
for the sum of $125. It was from
this verdict and judgment that the
defendant appealed to the Supreme
Court.
The case is explained in the statement
,ns printed in one of the briefs
of the attorneys engraved in the argument
in the Supreme Court as follows:
"The plaintiff in this action, a farm
laborer, unable to read or write,
brings suit against his landlord, th*
defendant, for $125, which he alleges
\& the value of certain crops raised
u,. tv.~ i I- --? -J-** 1?*
u.v iitin viii tu%r: viiih^ in uiu utnciiumii'*
appellant during the year 1917 under
a verbal share-crop agreement. There
is no dispute as to the trade except
that the plaintiff-respondent contends
that he traded for a period of eight
months, while the defendant-appellant
contends in testimony, but not in his
answer, that the contract of service
was for the year?both admitting
that when not otherwise engaged in
the working of his own crop, the
plaintiff was to work 'or the defendant
on his (the defendant's) farm at
60 cents per day.
"It is also admitted that without
disagreement the crops contemplated
by the agreement ^were planted and
properly harvested by the plaintiff
until after the tobacco crop was sold,
the preceeds thereof divided amicably,,
and all debts owing by the sharecropper
to his landlord had been paid
out of the proceeds of the tobacco.
At that time after the fodder on plaintiff's
crop had been pulled, but before
the corn had been harvested, a dispute
arose between the parties over
cotton picking, and the plaintiff-share
cropper went elsewhere to pi<V cotton,
claiming he did so only after he
had refused his landlord's offered
modification of his wage contract, and
his landlord had told him to go elsewhere
if he could get more than he
could give him. It was while thus
engaged in cotton picking elsewhere
that the defendant-landlord gathered
the share-cropper's corn, put it in hit
barn, and fed it away, claiming that
the plaintiff had refused to help him
gather it as per contract, and that
therefore he was not entitled to have
a division.
"The refusal of the landlord upon
? A At _
request to aeuver tne corn to wic
plaintiff gave rise to the suit for recovery
of the value thereof. Th?
corn was attached but the defendant
re-lfvied. By his .answer the defendand
interposed only a general denial."
