He was driving ( it hone and bad arrived near Darlington, S. C., when a high powered car, making terrific speed on the hard surfaced road ran into him and wrecked his car to such an extent that he could not drive the machine home. Two young ladies were in the car with Dr. Piatt at the time. None of ' * vmc occupants were injured In the accident. I ?> o STOPS AT WACCAMAW The work on the new road from Conway toward Bucksport will be stopped at Waccamaw church. They , do not know the exact direction to take from that point in order to reach the new bridge that it is hoped some day will sp.an the Pee Dee river near Port Harrelson. The bridge bonds were not voted and we know of no new act providing funds for the bridge and it may still be a long time before the location of such a bridge will be fixed. The work, when done, will be at the joint exnense of Horry and Georgetown counties. SERVICE CLASS MEETING The regular class meeting of the Service class met with Miss Mitchelle Collins on last Thursday afternoon, at the home of Mrs. D. A. Spivey. The guests were met at the door by M iss Collins. After all had been seated Mrs. I. T. Scoggins passed around some stamped cup towels, also thread, needles and thimbles ,nnd the members were told to outline the designs. Everyone was eager to get her towel finished, but before many had completed their task Miss Allone Spivev and Mrs. Dan Winstead brought in refreshments, so the towels were quietly laid away. The business meeting of the class was then held. Just as the meeting had been finished a postal card was handed to Mrs. E. P. Walsh?a recent bride?which stated that a package had been left for her at the front door. Mrs. Walsh very hastily went to the door, where a large box securely tied, greeted her. It was a large box, but Mrs. Walsh was equal to the occasion, and in a very short time her nimble .fingers had untied the string, and she was gazing intently at her gifts, all neatly wrapped in white paper and tied with ribbon. The packages were all opened, admired and passed around. There was much talk as- to who the next bride would be. The gifts were given by members of the Service class, of which Mrs. Walsh is a member. The towels that had previously been ! outlined were presented to the bride. , The Service class will meet with ' Mrs. Walsh in April. o | CIRCLE NO. 5 MEETING | Circle No. 5 held a very interesting , meeting on Monday afternoon at the , home of Mrs. J. H. Wilson. The ! meeting w.ns opened by the Scripture oscon from first John, by Mrs. J. K. I r* " ,- r4h a nraver by I Mrs. W. T. Goldfinch. The early history of Catholics in , New Orleans was told by Mrs. D. G. Spivey and "Protestantism" bv Mrs. L. S. Ward. Information on St. Marks and New Orleans today were read by Mrs. Dusenbury .and Mrs. W. M. Goldfinch. A most interesting poem was read from memory by Mrs. Proctor. Following this, the business session was held at which time a majority voted for Civrlp Nn K t A numnrl I _ _ v. w MV/ IIUIII^M "Lambuth," for Bishop Walter Lambuth. Arrangements were made to entertain the general society on the second Monday afternoon in March. ?o CIRCLE NO. 6 HAS MEETING Circle No. 6, of the Missionary socitey, met at the home of Mrs. H. P. Little last Monday afternoon. Eleven members were present. Miss JoTinnie Atlcinson, leader, read some interesting stories to the society; Mrs. Elmo Hyman read a Scripture lesson from the Bible. There was a discussion as to having a mission study class in connection with the regular circle meeting. This, however, was not fully decided upon. After the meeting had adjourned Mrs. H. P. Little and her daughter, Miss Ernestine, served refreshments. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. B. T. Hyman, o BASKETBALL GAME mi ? i ne KenoDoth quint journeyed over to the Allen school for a game of basketball on Friday last. The game, though rough, was very interesting. Lack of practice spelled disaster for 1 the Allen school. The mean work of < the entire Rehoboth team stood out J prominently. Collins* and Johnsons' < guarding was superb. Smith was the 4 leading scorer of the game, dropping | in eight field goals and one foul. Reho- < both plans to^nter the Field Day con- J test for County honors.

Small. 4 COURT GRINDS MANY CASES (Continued From Page One.) ing Huggins was waived with the understanding that the case would be called up early in the week as possible and disposed of. D. M. Todd Case The State vs. D. M. Todd for uttering a worthless check was tried on Monday afternoon in the absence of tbe defendant, who was called three times at the door without result. The defendant was charged with ! giving to E. L. Smith a bad check in | the sum of $156.88, drawn by D. M I Todd, on the Peoples Bank of Con| way, and that the defendant did obtain and get from Mr. Smith thereby money or other things of value. The defendant Todd was declared ;\ bankrupt in 1922, and his real estate was sold at the court house some months ago. On investigation it was found that the defendant had made arrangements to settle the check and on this appearing, the case was wound up by having the jury render a verdict of not guilty. The charge of stilling against Jack | Vereen was called and he pleaded | guilty. His sentence was deferred until later in the week so that a showing could be made in behalf of the defendant. The State vs. Thomas W. Graham was a charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and resulted in a plea of Kuilty with explanation that the party whipped had been twice an inmate of the insane asylum: that his temper gave away and he had tried to correct his wife. He said he did not have an idea he had intended to injure her and the sentence was placed at $200 or three months on the public works. o TTTTI\7 ?71 4 nn JUIVI tijTjflno WHISKEY CASE The charge of violation of the prohibition law against three defendants, Charlie Page, John Stroud and Carl Cannon was called and tried on Friday. John Stroud had not been arrested and was not tried but the case went on as to the other two defendants. The proof in this case was to the effect that th? defendants were alongthe road with signs of using "monkey vum," and that a witness saw a fruit jar with something- in it. The only charge, therefore, was that of transporting whiskey. The jury found all three not guijty. o Cures Malarie, Chills and U O O Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever.
