WARNING NOTE IS ALLEGED Storie.s are going about to the effect that Rrock Bruton on Wednesday morning: of last week, upon coming in from his work before breakfast, found a note pinned to his door which ~was signed K. K. K. The contents of the note, if indeed he found any, have not been disclosed. Bruton himself, according to reports, refuses to have anything to say about it, .and he would neither confirm the report nor would he deny it in positive terms. Bruton is an employee of the Conway Lumber Company and his work causes him to stay at the plant during the night and he sleeps in the day time. liaxiey, a locomotive engineer, employed by the same company was sleeping in the Bruton home. It is claimed that Baxley saw the note on thf door addressed to Burton, hut he did not see the inside of the paper. The note remained on the door until later on that same morning Bruton came in and took it down. Reports are also rife that a similar communication was left at the door, or gate of Tine Powell, a carpenter, who has a residence in the lower or southern part of the residential section of Conway. Tt was said tliat Powe'l had left a few days since for Florida, where it is claimed lie had some business, and the report as to *he note left for him could not be confirmed by interviewing him. NEW BUSIS ON NEW RUN There is a new bus which is on ,a new line, beginning last Monday. W. Fred Stanley, who has the contract for carrying the mails from Conway to Little River and return, purchased a sixteen-passenger omnibus and made the first trip with it from T>iftlo River here and return on last Monday. This makes the second bus line to he established with Conway as the terminus. It spells progress and improvement for the traveling public. CHIEF AMBROSE HAS RESIGNED Mayor Wingate announced this morning that Mr, L. R. Ambrose, who has been Chief of the Polico Department for several years, tended his resignation, to take efTect. or. the K?th of December. Tt is with many 10grets to tho City of Georgetown that Wv. Ambrose has resigned as lie has done his, work faithfully and dilligently and has carried out the duties of the office most efficient.v. Mr. yVmbrose stated that his reason frr resigning was that he has a very fine farm at Plantor villo mi 1 tile business which will require hi? full time. As the chief of police is an appointed office by the mayor, Mr. Rohm p. Shu ford, who has been for f' up teen year?? in the service f< i* the cit.\ as recorder, and who is probably the best suited man for the office, was ap pointed to succeed Mr. Ambrose.

Waters, teacher of the Sarrat School, in Cherokee County, is the first to respond to the appeal sent out recently by the Economy Home, Kings Creek, S. C. She sends us $17.50 in a letter saying, "We are glad to have a part in this great work. May God bless the children and teachers and teach His people to respond generously to the needs of this Home.." The next response came from Mrs. F. F. Rainsford, of Trenton, S. C. She writes: "I would like to have an entertainment in the interest of the Economy Home, but six out of fourteen of my pupils are motherless. I am sending you $2.50. Wish I could make it much more." Miss Pearl Martin, of Summerton, S. C., sends us $5.00 and closes by saying: "May Heaven's richest blessings rest on the Home." Such letters as these are what Veen the fires of hope burning with the superintendent and teacners or The Economy Home. Thanksgiving: we budded our Christmas tree with the wishes of the children. Each child wrote down what she or he wanted Santa to bring:. These were rolled up and tied on the tree. You could hardly name a nice present that was not mentioned in these wishes. Fifteen wished for Bibles. We wonder who would like to play Snnta Claus for these motherless children? , FURTHER FACTS FROM LORISITE This article has been sent tc ? The Herald by a Lorisite fol- X lowing the article which ap Y pen red in the paper last week. T ^ The Herald is not the author of + this article, and hencc the col umns of the paper is open to ? all interested parties t(. publish corrections of any mistake or x ianccuracies appearing in the + article.?Ed. An article in The Herald last week stated that "Loris School stays in a muddle." This misrepresented the true conditions. Presumably The Herald reporter (lid the best that he could w;th the information at hand, but he lacked the facts. This article is a statement of the indisputable facts in the case. The people of Loris preferred keeping their difficulties out of the public press, but, since the above named article was published, they feel the necessity of letting: the true facts and conditions be known. In the people of Loris, realizing the necessity for an adequate Lii \ i r i /? \ % .-a l-\ r\ 1 i r\ t U ? n A \t/ ? Mil HI mik MI IN1 i t-u iiwu.^* inni i i IU '* ly-established hif?h school, met in mass Mooting for the purpose of devising plans for its erection. At. this mcetinsr it was almost the unanimous decision to vote on bonds to the :.mf''ii! t of wO,000.00, but, in order to meet the objections of 01 e or two who insisted that the amount he reduced ! to *2o.0ef), this was done. This bond j issue va authorized by a special act of the General Assembly and the bonds were printed and offered fori sale, early in 1921, but it was impossible to sell them on account %'f ihe amount of bonds jroin# beyond the i constitutional limitation of the tax-j able property of the district. The! lenders ?> together immediately and devised new pl.'.n .

The people showed very decidedly, their preferonce for the proposed $25,000 buildin.a:. Mr. H.arrelson announced that ho would send in his resignation to the Sunorintendent of Education. Ho sent it the next day. The Loris folks, knowing tho importance of having a full board of trustees to advor'i?e for bids and let tho contract for the buildin ir. sent a petition asking the County Board ot' Education to pass on the resignation and to appoint Mr. George Butler .as trustee. No action was taken for several weeks. During this time it seems that Mr. Harrolson repeatedly asked the County Superintendent to acce?)t his resignation. Tt appears that this matter came before the board onlv at"or weeks of delay. The resignation was .accepted by a majojrity of the board, but no appointment was made to fill the vacancy. One member of the board notified Mr. Harrelson of this action. For at least a good portion of the time Mr. Harrelson refused to do the work of a trustee, though informed that he was still filling- the pVace. During all this time, work on the building was held up since the contract could not be let on account of this uncertainty. After much delay, however, the contract for roof, walls and sub-floor of the building was let. using for this purpose, the $16 000 from bonds. The lowest bidder died while his financial standing was being investigated. TVf~ IT T> T tV.** ~ iui. xii i . uic iiCAi luncoi uiKi der, was awarded the contract. In the meantime, the term of trustee of D. W. Hardwick, had expired, thus leaving only one trustee who had any assurance of remaining on the board. As is well known, the law requires the County Board of Education to make the appointment of trustees on the 30th of April. Finally letters went out to the people in the various districts to meet and select trustees. Before the meeting could he held, the grand jul.y reported. Naturally after this the people of Loris did not meet and elect trustees, but numbers of Loris people asked Mr. Allen to fill the two vacancies which was refused. In July it was announced through the press that the Superintendent would be in Loris on a certain night and hold a meeting with the people. After this announcement, many Loris people interviewed Mr. Allen (among the number being A. J. Mishoe, W. L. Rhodes and Y. P. McQueen) and he they claim assured them, "The meeting will be for the purpose of electing trustees who will be commissioned at once by. the County Board of Education." Hope burned high for it seemed that the vacancies of the board rf trustees would be filled. A representative body of the peo . - - - . .

He made an address, in which he enlarged upon the reasons why the teachers in the various districts were not nnid in full for the work of the term iust closed. This was of no interest to the people of Loris, for the funds of the district had been sufficient to meet' hll obligations. Then he got upon the subject of "peace and harmony;" he stated that he would "like to take some of you by my right hand and some by my left Viand and draw vou together." The reonle wore expecting; Mr. A1lon to ?-o into the election, and were nrreatly surprised when he said, "I pave you a chance to elect trustees ""r1 yon refused to hold the election. Now you have lost your chance. You would not listen to me. If you were 1to elect trustees tonight, or at any o'her time, it would not have any effort upon the action of the County | Board. We will commission trustees for you in a few days and will give you whomever we please, regardless of your wishes." Upon ascertaining that Mr. Allen had finished what he had to say, and, as he would not allow the election to come up. his meeting was adjourned. A meeting was immediately called to order for the purpose of nominating trustees, simply to indicate the wishes of the people of the county Board. Mr. D. W. Hardwick ' was voted upon to succeed himself, out of HO votes he received 58; Dr. Huger Richardson, who was nominated to succeed Mr .Harrelson, received 56 of 60 votes. The next day more than a dozen of the citizens called upon the County Board, urging it to hold a meeting to consider the appointment of trustees. The Board met, but after a lengthy session, nothing was done. On Monday following, two petitions were circulated; one for Mr. Hardwick receiving more than 200 signatures of electors of Loris School I>is- ( trict, while that for Dr. Richardson! received more than 190 signatures. These petitions were presented to the County Board by Col. R. B. Scarborough .at a meeting of the Board held on Tuesday, August 1st. At this metting A. J. Baker, and T. B.
