' BRIDGE VOTE
THROWN AWAY
According- to previous arrangements
the County Board of Commissioners,
consisting of S. H. Brown, C. F. DuBose
and J. J. Carter, held a session
at the office of the Road Commissioner
last Monday to dispose of a
ni^Atoet filfwt airoinvt iliA rononf nlop.

tion on the site of a proposed bridge
across the Waccamaw river at either
Bellamy's Landing or Star Bluff.
The election was held several weeks
ago and it appeared that only a small
percentage of the people interested
had been allowed to vote by means of
some misunderstanding regarding the
qualifications to be required of them
when offering to vote. It was only
those sections of the county which
felt an interest in this bridge that
was allowed to vote under the *act of
the General Assembly, which was introduced
by representatives Prince
and Carter, and which provided for
the holding of an election to determine
the place of location.
The county board, after hearing
arguments on both sides, decided that
the election was void and another
election will be held to decide the
question.

dents of the Buck Creek. Wortham,
Wampee and Little River neighborhoods.
The people of those communities
are intensely interested in everything
that improves transportation,
whether it be by river, railroad or
dirt road, as they nearly all have very
fertile land and can produce large
crops which they cannot get to market
without immense cost.
It appears that there is yet no provision
made for securing funds with
which to build this bridge. It seems
that it had been intended to provide
the 1\nds, which would be something
like $30,000.00 or more. They are
going ahead under the act to fix the
place where the bridge will be built
and they hope to raise the funds for
building the bridge later on by some
plan or other.

pays judgment
One of the judgments entered up in
the G. W. E. L. Graham affair, the
details of which appeared in a recent
issue of The Hm*rv Herald. was last
Tuesday paid in full by Mr. J. 13.
Graham, .as to the judgment entered
up against him on a note that he
pave for fertilizers in 1920, in the
sum of $325.00. This note was canceled
and delivered to Mr. J. B. Graham
and at the same time a satisfootio"
of fhe Judgment was signed
up and filed in the office of the Clerk.
i he judgment amounted to much
more than the original face of the
note. It took the sum of $450 to settle
it. This amount included the
principal and the interest on that for
a number of years and also included
the amount which the court allowed
as attorney's fee for plaintiff's attorney
in the suit; the original note having
provided that in case it should
not be paid .at maturity that then
the defendant would be liable for all
cost of collection, including these attorney's
fees.

and Mrs. I,aura Jane Graham,
for the purpose of .attacking a number

By this is meant that the

The Virgo School Improvement Association
held its regular meeting
May 10th. with a very good attendance
by members. Quite a number of
visitors also honored the meeting by
their presence.
A short talk was jriven on the best
way to use the funds, by the chairman,
which was enioyed. The crowd
was then invited on the school yard,
where three delicious cakes were being
walked oif. Two delightful hours
were spent in this way, after which
the winners invited the people back
into the house, where each were given
a slice of cake.

and was beyond making resistance
when Policeman Holt came across him
on his regular rounds.
Hp was nlncpd'in t.hp town Piiard
house, where he cried and prayed for
several hours after his drunk began
to wear ofT. He then called for Proctor,
the chief of police, and begged to
be let out of jail.
It is a pity that this man, who is
not regarded now as being responsible
for his actions, could not be admitted
to some institution where he
could be treated for the diseased con'
dition of both his mind and body. He
spends most of his time among the
colored people, many of whom he
knew when his condition was much
better physically and mentally than
it is now, and while he was employed
fit useful work about the plant where
negroes were also employed.
During the past year he has been
involved in the law a great many
(times. For a time he drove a dilapij
dated Ford car about the streets. On
f>r?o occasion this was found with
t Lewis dead drunk inside of it, and tho
machine blocking the road where
' others wanted to pass, hut could not

he was taken up several times for
reckless driving and for exceeding tho
speed limits. Fie was a frequent appearance
on the police blotter at the
r town hall. It is all a great pity. He
^ji>* not regarded as having good sense.
This condition has been coming on for
some time and still he is found at
" large when there should be some
* means of placing him here under circumstances
that will safeguard him

Decoration Day will be fittingly ob- f
served in Mullins on Wednesday, May t
30th, following custom for the past t
few ye^xrs. The Mullins post of the (
American Legion has absolute charge i
of the program. All of the frater- 1
nal societies, the Woman's club, and 1
all of the business men of the town j
fire co-operating with the Legion in j
putting across the program for this >
day. Mullins will enter with a fine 1
spirit in the national celebration of 1
Memorial Day on the 30th. <
A Spectacular parade in two sections
will form at the Seaboard sta- *
tion and promptly at 10:30 o'clock (
will move north. Mounted marshals '
will head the first section followed by 1
the band, then the colors. Civil War 1
Veterans, then the honored guests, 1
including the speakers, will follow in
a body. The second section will in- 1
elude fraternal societies in a body, J
Boy Scouts ,nnd school children.
The American Legions of Conway, c
Dillon, Latta, Marion and surround- [
ing communities are especially re- 1
quested and urged to be present and 1
take a part in the program. ' It is '
the desire of the Mullins post that the :
Legions of the surrounding counties
make it a point to come to Mullins '
on the 30th and enjoy the day with '
us. 1
The War Department is furnishing
the local Legion with a band for the
day. The music will be all that can (
be expected.
We are planning to feed 2,500 peo- )
pie at the new tobacco warehouse on 1
this day. Music will be heard as the 1
day progresses. Baseball is the game 1
of the day for the Legion. In sum- <
mary we can truthfully say that this
is going to be the biggest day in the 1
history of Mullins.
and keep others safe from him.
The facts of his case which seem to
grow worse and worse, have been set
out in this article for the purpose of
calling the matter to the attention of
those whose duty it may be to have
him taken care of in some suitable
way. In this time when we boast of
charity and the looking out after the
common good there ought to be some
way to handle this proposition, no',
only as to him, but any others who
have been so unfortunate. It makes
no difference if his own acts have led
him into this bad state. At the present
time he cannot be regarded as
fully responsible for his conduct. It
is time for the law or the organized
charitable people to look into his case
and see what can be done for him.
Humanity demands that he have attention.

Nf. J. FERRIS
LOSES OUT
N. J. Ferris lost out on his claim
'or a homestead in the stock and ftx:ures
of his store heiln. Hp ohiiniAd
o be entitled to the sum of $300
>r goods and store furniture to that
Amount in the settlement of his oank:upt
estate. As it was claimed by
lim in his petition the trustee had to
<et it off to him; but the creditors obiected
to it and filed exceptions which
,vere argued in Florence, S. C., before
the referee one day last week,
vhen the referee decided against the
Maim of homestead.
The lot of store furniture which was
<et apart under the proceedings was
ordered to be sold after ten days noace.
The trustee has advertised the
property accordingly and it was sold
it the store on laurel street on yes:erday
at the hour appointed.
The goods of Ferris turned out
more than was expected as the appraisers
found over five hundred dolars
worth of goods stored away unler
some empty boxes and other
lebris underneath some old fixtures
n the back end of the store. There
,vere several cases of goods which had
ipvpv hf?pn onpnpd and nlaced cm the
shelves.
The estate of Ferris will soon all be
lisposed of and in the course of time
lis creditors will get a small dividend

At the request of this organization
Governor Manning appointed the
present illiteracy commission which
has been so successful in its splendid
undertaking. Miss Wil Lou Gray
is chairman of the educational department
of the Federation. This department
has a sub-department known
as the Student Loan Fund, which.

28 young girls to go to college by
lending them money. The total of
this fund is $6,457.00, made up by the
contributions of the individual clubs.
Would you not feel proud to have
your organization contribute five or
ten dollars to such a fund? The Con- ,
way Civic League has given ten dollars
for the last five years; the Mullins
Woman's club gives fifty dollars
a year. Have you a girl in your
community who would like to borrow
$ 150.00, $75.00 or more to go to college?
If so have her put in her ,\pplication
now as this money is in
great demand. The Federation has
done much to help with the home
demonstration work in this State,
having quantities of these products
sold in the Piggly Wiggly stores.
Wherever there is a Federated club
the demonstration agent knows she
' an get help in selling her club products.
Belonging to the State Federation

Our sister county, Dillon, has

Dillon has recently established a

for county work. To do this

more than $3,000 in the county budget
for health work. Three years ago at
a meeting of this Federation, the delegation
was asked for $1,500 for support
of a nurse for the county. One
of the men said that was too much
money, the women responded: ' "Is
$1,500 too much money for the health
of your child?" They got the $1,500
and this year more than twice as
much. See what organized effort can
accomplish. In union there is
strength. Won't your club form this
Horry County Federation of clubs?
We want every club in the county to
send representatives with a report of
the work it has done to the organization
