COURT ANNULS
TWO WARRANTS
John C. Grainger and Florie
Ray Dismissed on
Charges
WITNESSES UNWILLING
_________ ; I
Charge Made That Witnesses
Changed Their Stories
of Events
There was a "water haul" in the
magistrate court of W. H. Chestnut
last week when the case of the State
against J. C. Grainger and Florie
Ray, on a charge of adultery; and the
same great State against J. C. Grainger
on a charge of voilating the prohibition
laws were called, and both
cases were dismissed without the
holding of either of the defendants
for the criminal court now about to
convene for the first sessions of the
year of 1923.
The reasons for this result were to
l?e found in the evident reluctance of
the witnesses who had been summoned
for the State to testify against the
defendants. According to a state'
ment made by the attorney for the
prosecution, they had told different
stories before the warrants had been
issued and the defendants brought to
a hearing before the court.
It was plain that several of them
knew more than they were willing to
tell. Their reasons for refusing to
tell the truth and the whole truth may
*be due to several things.
The attorney for the defense claims
that the cases grew out of spite work
entirely.
The story of the troubles in that
community goes back to the autumn
of 1022, when rural policeman J. K.
King and his assistant, John Rogers,
went into this community of Bavboro
township to hunt for whiskey stills.
They had their suspicions of John C.
Grainger. They met him one day .and
told him that a few days before that
he, Grainger, had placed a lard stand
in a convenient position where it
would be found by Nancy Allen and
her boy, Hub Allen, and that he,
Grainger, had assisted in the preparation
of some beer, or should say the
makings of the sour stuff from which
illicit whiskey of the "monkey rum"
type is made. If would appear from
this that the officers were close behind
all of the people who were then
or who had been eneaged in the violation
of the law. There did not appear
any real foundations in the
claim that may have Iteen made that
J. C. Grainger, by his placing the
lard stand and the preparation of the
m.ish, was really tVying to lay the
foundation for trapping a woman and
her only son. The policeman did not
say that he had ever had anv agreement
to that effect with Grainger
that he, Grainger, would lay a trap
for the stillers in such :x way. On the
r.ext night after the conversation with
Grainger, King and Rogers went to
the Allen home and found some syrup
sourincr in a barrel and this t.hev
emptied out while they were there.
It also appears that at the fall
term of the Court of Genera ly Session,
Shell Williams, the prosecutor in the
tv'o dismissed cases, had been reported
by somebody to the grand jury of
Horry County for stilling whiskey
with Nancy Allen. This Williams has
at all times denied. On the other
Tiand he charges that the only whiskey
produced was some that being
stilled by Grainger and the Aliens,
and that the officers had never been
able to find anything against him.
During the year of 1922, Florrie
Hay and her sister, Jane Ray, lived
on a place which belongs to E. B.
Sarvis. It was proved tha* Giyinger
had worked there in the field a great
. deal that year: that he had spent
portions of nights there, as well as
'had other men, including E. B. Sarvis.
Some witnesses testified that
they had seen Grainger and the Ray
wonan hauling wood together and
making trips to Loris together on a
wagon.
Coming down to the exact point
"which the State labored hard to bring
out, none of the witnesses were made
' to do it. They closed up like clams
von some points.
ft was developed that late in the
year of 1922, J. C. Grainger moved
'Florie Rav away to another place and
owe again to still another which was
' under his control.
It also came out at the hearing that
or one occasion when J. C. Grainger
-was found at the place at night that
the infant child of Jane Ray was verv
ill. All of these things were just sufficient
to create in the mind of the
court that things were wrong and
mighty wrong in that community
shout that time, but he held that they
did not make out a probable case sufficiently
strong to warrant him in
fending the case to the higher court
to be tried by a jury.
In the adulterv case the attorney
for the state held that the testimony
"was sufficient to make out a probable
case; but in the whiskey case he did
not "sk that the case be sent up to
the higher court.
One of the witnesses for the State
5n the cases was Hub Allen. Allen
told on the stand that Grainger had
bought six gallons of syrup and had
brought it to the home of his mother
and assisted in making the product
which would sour in the course of time
and be used in the making of whiskey.
On the back of this he went or
to say that the stilling war. to Imvf
been by Nancy Allen and Shell Williams,
but that the resulting whiske\
was to belong to J. C. Grainger. He
did not make a very willing witness,
and all that he said could not be believed.
B" such trials as these the magistrates
and the rural police have to
J. W. EDWARDS
MAKES FAILURE
I J. Walter Edwards, who has been
conducting a small mercantile business,
near the corporate limits for the
past several years, closed his door,
and made an assignment to W. P.
Herring, under date of February ?lst,
1923.
It is said that there is only a small
amount of merchandise and store fixtures
contained in the assets ^nd that
creditors will lose practically all of
the debts due them.
A meeting of the creditors has been
called on March 7th. 1923, at the office
of S. C. Dusenbury, attorney for
the insolvent debtor. TTie meeting is
for the purpose of electing an agent
of creditors to act with the assignee
in disposing of the estate and prorating
the proceeds among the creditors
of Edwards.
Edwards is a son of the late J. W.
Edwards who was also engaged in the
mercantile busine^ at this same location
before his death some years
ago.
o
HIDDEN PAINTINGS
IN WESTMINISTER
London.?The glory of Westminister
Abby is being still more enhanced
through the discovery of old pre-reformation
paintings on the walls
where they have been hidden for several
centuries under several coats of
paint. A number of paintings were
accidentally discovered during recent
renairs, and a systematic search for
others has been conducted since. The
search is being directed by E. W. Tristram,
who for many years has devoted
himself to the restoration of old
art discoveries.
Among the most notable works
thus far identified have been shields
of Henry VITI in the knave of the
abbey, which, after being covered up
for centuries still show forth in their
original brilliance. These are not only
among the earliest specimens of
architectural heraldry in the world,
but also among the first examples of
golden heraldry ever produced.
There w.ns also discovered a se^gs
of copies of paintings on the Crauchback
monument. Although the identities
of the paintings have not been
determined it is believed some of the
pictures were executed by William of
Florence, St. John of St. Omar, Peter
Hispania and William of Westminister.
who are known to have done
much painting in pre-reformation
times.

TAKES ISSUE
ON ARTICLE
j Editor Herald:
In an article published on February
15th, I have noted some misrepresentations.
The raiding referred to wfis
in 1865 and not 1864. The man who
stole the grinding out of that cart
was old Mrs. Seamly Todd's son, and
it waS taken on the public road and
consisted of two sacks containing two
bushels each and that man was never
punished for the act. Mrs. Graham's
son went to the place where the Todds
lived and demanded the grinding.1
They told him he would never get it
and that they would shoot him if he
entered the enclosure. As he had no
way to enforce his demands and the
others were all armed he had to give
it up. The man who was with him
advised him to return home, which he
did and that ended the matter. The
man who was shot across the Kingston
Lake bridge was a deserter and
/> n r\f Olrt n 'J I
vu|jvuui ui ci laiuiu^ auu vyo.i cm rested
and shot as a deserter, the
military having charge of the matter.
W. T. Graham died in August of
1864. He was a man who always
oerformed his duty and strictly paid
his tithing to the families of the sol1
diers and much more besides. His
widow did the same after his death.

WAR ON RATS
Lives and fortunes are the stake
in a tremendous war against field
rats now being conducted by the territorial
board of health and the sugar
plantations of the Hawaiian Islands,
according to Science Service's

The results of this war, it
says, are likely to be of assistance
throughout the world in campaigns
against the rat, one of the worst enemies
of mankind. It is stated by those
who have studied the problem at the
