Page No. 2 FLOYD-PAGE IS FOR NEW TRIAL The ease of John T. Floyd aprainst William Page Iv.is just been decided in the supreme court of South Carolina, Ahe appeals which were taken by both slides from the rulings of the late ffVank B. Gary, in the court of Com won Pleas for Horry County in 1021, "being dismissed by the higher court; so that the case now comes back to the court here to be tried, probably f>ext July, standing* just as it did when .the case left this court to go to Columbia. The statement of the case as piepared for the supreme court sa\ s, in part, that the action is for the recovery of a tract of land described in tho complaint and was begun in 1M20. The case was tried before Honorable Frank fl[>. Gary and a jury. That at the close of a LI the testimony both sides appealed from the order of the trial judge refusing to direct a verdict in his f,av-ur. The proceedings taking place at the trial of the cause are substantially as follows, as reported in a news article in this paper, at the time: The complaint alleged among other ii u: i. 1 i vr ? i t . *iiui?s liiiti nancy r ioya naa tins tract of land laid off to her as her dower J and in the estate of lier husband, and that she had sold this as htfr dower Xiif>r] to the defendant, William Page; that Nancy Floyd died in the year of 11)20 and that then her dower interest, which was only for her lifetime, having ended, the interest of her grantee, William Page, thereupon ended, and she right to the land reverted to John T. Floyd as the only surviving heir at law of his father, out of whose estate the dower land had been set off to the widow, Nancy Floyd. i :A{ the trial on circuit the first tiling disposed of was a motion to strike out ' certain allegations of the defendant's answer. The court decided the motion in favor of striking out certain allegations in the answer which alleged in substance that J' hn T. Floyd and his another. Nancy Floyd, had induced the ulefendant to purchase this dower land, *o that they might take the money paid them by the defendant and invest it again in another tract of land which they occupied and used in Floyds township. The jury which tried the case in the circuit court in October 1021, were: 1W. T. Springs, J. W. Marlow, S. A. Mmrhes, B. H. Vaught, Frank Brown, ,J. P. Daniels. W. F. Mishoe, Geo. C. Hutler. E. T. Lovell. L. W. Anderson, -7. Ed Harrelson, and J, E. James. .John T. Floyd testified in substance 1 .about how the deal for the snle of the land to William Page had been made, -describing this as tlie dower land of his mother; how he moved with his mother to another tract of land which this mother purchased in Floyds townnhip; tlv.t he, John T. Floyd, bought Hand of his own adjoining that of his mother; th.vt he used the cleared land on his mother's tract and that before her rle.^th his mother conveyed this ft and to him; that ho took care of his mother until a short time before her 4leafh and then he got his son to take ?care of her while lie was moving to another place. JJ. M. Johnson was used as a witness &l> "testify to a plat that he l\nd made the land in dispute under an order the court. < 5?hn T. Floyd was recalled to testify that he had nothing to do with the , land traiie between his mother c nd j T&ViUiam Page. TThip defendant introduced a number!, v>T entries in the old sheriff's books. William P.'ige testified to the effect that he was 77 years of age. He related the family history as regards t! i*-iand in dispute. Xancv Floyd w;?. his lister.

The judge sent them back to ihe room ai d insisted that they should find u verdict, but they never did agree .and a mistrial was ordered. Now when the case is tried here aigam me rulings of the court on the I first trial will of course he the law of the case and there will he no reason tf.o appeal from those rulings any more. It will he a plain straight question for the jury to decide which shall have the A TON1U 4%rove's Tasteless chill Tonic restore ^Energy and Vitality by Purifying and ^Enriching the Blood. When you feel its :*trengthening, invigorating effect, see how it brings color to the cheeks and how it improves the ap|>etite, you will then appreciate its true tonic value. -Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic is simply ?lron and Quinine suspended in syrup.

Some time ago the Horry Herald was asked to bid on the printing of this book, and submitted a fair price for a good job of printing five bundled copies of the book. We understood later that we missed getting the work to do because we were underbid to the extent of a few dollars. Until the book came out we expected that as the Herald did not produce it, that it had been done in the other printing office of Conway, and we had no idea that this work which is sold and intended to be used in our home town had been sent off to the printers of a distant town while our own presses and typesetting machines might be left idle with nothing to do. It now appears that the work was not done in Conway. It was done in another county far distant from the lines of Horry. The book is filled with recipes written by the ladies of Conway. The book carries a number of advertisements by the business men of Conway. We hid on the work and missed it. The few dollars that appears to have carried the work away from us we did not think was enough to carry thi* work and the pay for it to another town where printers certainly could not need work to do any worse 'than they need it in Conway; still just because we missed getting the work would not justify our saying anything here about it, but the fact that the work diil not go to The Field, if it did not to us, is sufficient ground to justify an expression in this paper of the way we feel about it. Now the first thing that we notice about this book and to which we want to call attention is an error in the work appearing on the last page of the cover in the display advertisement of the Buck Motor Co. There is also an error overlooked in proof reading appearing on the first page of the text. We have not looked the remainder cf the pages except to scan the quality of the work and we see nothing extra that was accomplished by the printer who did this work. In connection with this way of sending aw/.iy from home the work that is needed at home to keep up the home industry, we want to say that this outside printer was not and never will he in position to help boost anv movement that the missionary scciVcy will want to put on. He cannot have now or at any time any free publicity to give the cause in Conwiy or Horry. We have freely supported the missionary movement in the Herald and the other home newspaper has certainly done the same thing, and this has not cost the circles anything whatever. This has been done time and time again and will continue to be done time and time again; in the face of this home support which the circles expect, when they have something to give out that is really worth while, a joo mut means about one hundred dollars in the pocket of some printer, will they send it oft to another town, >r will they give it to one of therr own home printers? Turn about in favors is fair in such matter.- and such things hurt .he feelings of i>oth men and women who are doing their hest for their community's sake and for their community's institutions and yet when it comes to saving two or three dollars, the die is cast in favor of the people away from home. It lias been saTfi that the newspaper business ought to be on as sound a financial luasis as any other. It ought to be as solid as the bank or the wholesale store, as safe an investment as the placing of money in stocks and bonds. But is it? No, the' poor man who puts his money in printing presses and typesetting machines, is expected to keep them all busy in boosting the institutions and advantages of the home town, while the people have the priviege of sending away the work that would keep his wheels going in the dull season when he loses rr.ore than he can possibly gain in the so/is on when business is good. It has been said that no community is better than its newspapers. It is true in a sense. The newspapers of a town are what the people want to make them. If they stick by them as they should they will reap the benefit that flows front having live newspapers and if they do not stand by them but invite them to go to the dogs, then there is nothing else for the poor edit possession of the tract of land in dispute. {************************** Ihorry county! i trust co. i * | |L.

One great reason is simply because one of our most useful public roads in our section leads across the lake swamp, at what is called the Mc tjuoen Crossing, and the bridge is now almost impassible and we have to 30 to mill and want to attend church as well as the other fellow, and we will feel better over the matter if everyone who has the authority to do so will look after the matter and see that we get some repairing done on the said brid.ee.

Bryant, farmer and business ] ^an of Green Sea, died on last Sun- ' lay, following an illness of about two 1 years. Hi = funeral took place on J Monday afternoon at about "> o'clock, 1 the Masonic lodge, of which he w.r.s a member, taking charge of the cere- ' mony. ' He is survived by his wife and three children, and he was fiftv-four years of age at the time of his death. He was a son of the 'ate J. C. Bry- i ant. and a nephew of the 'ate Ferd ' D. Bryant, of the Marion bar. He wa;: \ .1 good business man and a fine citi- \ :'on. or to do except to heir for what little charity he can set. When he is asking for a job of printing* that goes elsewhere, he is put in the position of a beggar and not as a bidder after that which rightly belongs to him. The matter of .a few dollars difference in the bids made by the home printers and the printers in other towns ought not to he a sufficient incentive for deciding against the work at home, for after all. he work done at home will be the most correct, the most satisfactory because there is better opportunity to have it done like it is wanted and more often than nof the best printers .and the best machinery is located at home. We want the ladies who compose the organizations in Conway to read this article. There is something in it for them to think about. Do they appreciate the good that their home papers can do for them and theirs to lay down petit prejudice and remember that the odds should always be cast up in favor of the home worker, and that by sending the work away froml hoiYie, thev are hurting things a whole lot worse by failing to give their support as they do by taking the money away from home people and giving it to the pe >pie of other towns. It is seldom th.at the hometown newspaper gets a word of approval even. It is taken too much as a matter of course. The obtaining of free space , in its columns is too easy a matter. . Only ask and ye shall surely receive. Things like this where the nice little job amounting to one hundred dollars or more is sent off to a stranger makes the home town newspapers feel like thirty cents, and no wonder. o To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE (Tablets). ! stops the Cough and Headache and worKsoffth *X)ld.

More than half a million thin men and women have gladly made this test and thai Prunitone does succeed, does make thin folks fat, even where all else has failed, is l>est proved by the tremendous business we have done. No drastic diet, flesh creams, massage, oils or emulsions, but a simple, harmless remedy that is pleasant to take and effective ih results. Take Prunitone with your meals, and watch it work.

STROUD LANDS DISPOSED OF Last salesday, the lots of land in the town of Loris, owned by W. E. Stroud, were sold at public sale under ait attachment and execution on judgment recovered against Stroud by the Bank of Loris. Some objection was raised at the sale on the ground that the person from whom Stroud had bought the land had never been paid by Stroud the amount of the purchase money. It appeared, however, that the grantor of the land to Stroud had taken a mere note for the purchase money and there had been nothing record ?<l showing the retention of any lien or claim of the grantor against the property. The sale was made and the land was knocked down to the attorney representing the plaintiff in the case. o ANNIE ABBOTT COMING Miss Annie Abbott, described as 'The I.ittle Georgia Magnet," will jippear at the Pastime on Wednesday, May 23rd.
