i WE WANT YOU BACK I"
V.. V
We want you hack in the list of
Horry Herald readers. Please remember
that. If your name has been
dropped from the live list of readers,
it is because you would not renew so
that we were entitled to send it to you
under the law.
The postoffice regulations provide
that it is not lawful for us to send you
the paper longer than for a certain
time after vour money runs out. How
can we help ourselves in the face of
this provision. Remember this and remember
that no matter how much
we want you back in the list of readers,
we cannot put you there unless
you are willing1 to pay for the paper.
If you stand off on account of ill
will and madness, just because your
name was dropped you are doing: us
an injustice. The Herald wants to be
law abiding*. It does not want tlie
name of sending itself each week to
a lot of dead beats who would not
think enough of the paper to come in
and reorder it. This is the law that
we are following and not some distracted
notion of being: afraid to
trust people. Every man who reads
the Herald has a special place in the
hearts of the editor of this paper and
of every man on the force. Willing to
trust them, yes, each and every one;
but this does not ?ret us over the postoffice
regulations which require us to
pay a higher rate of postage when we
mail the paper to a man who has not
paid for the paper and failed to renew.
We want each and every man, woman
and child in Horry County to read
this paper every week. We know
that it will pay them to do so. We
are in position to give them something
that they cannot pet otherwise.
They need it. We are willing and
more than willing to let them have it,
hut they must remember that the
Herald wants to treat everybody
right, and especially the laws and
regulations of Uncle Sam.
Think this thing over today and
come right back and lets eet together.
We are friends and friends of the'
best kind.

ANDERSON MAN i
IS NOW A( ( USED
Anderson, S. C.?The arrest this
morning of Arch Kay, charged with *
murder, may solve the mystery which (
has long baffled the efforts of the
authorities in the cases of the deaths ,
of P. 'M. Hutto and of J. M. Burnett. 1
Both were aged storekeepers who '
were murdered in their stores and ^
robbed. Hutto was killed some
twelve years ago, while Burnett was
murdered in 1021. Arch Kay is 1
charged with both killings.
Kay's arrest came after city and
county officers had overheard him
tel 1 iup: Sligh Milliard of killing the |
two men. Kay was trying1 to persuade
Milliard to accompany him ^
on a like expedition, and had made
the statement that he had killed the
two men several times before. Milliard
informed his brother, Baz Milliard,
a member of the Anderson police
department, and last night Kay visited
Milliard again. Sheriff Marrett
and Chief of Police Driskoll, Deputy ;
W. A. Clamp and Policeman Baz Milliard
were secreted in the house when
the man came to talk with Sligh lii 1 - ;
liard, i r.d were ool no re than three <
feet from the two men when the talk- ,
ing took place. <
According to the officers' statement
this morning, Kay was trying again
to persuade Hi 1 liard to to go with him
and rob somebody, and told Hilliard
he wanted him merely to stand out
side and watch for him.
"Haven't Got the Nerve."
"You haven't got the nerve to go
through with it," Hilliard is quoted
by officers as saying, and with an
oath Kay then said that he had already
killed two men, naming P. M.
Hutto and J. M. Burnett. According to
the officers, he told the amount of
money he had secured from each one
of the two victims.
Arrested this morning. Kay denies
part of his conversation last night,
and declares that when he told Mil
Hard of killing: the men, that he was
just laughing and joking-.
The circumstances surrounding the
two murders were strikingly similar,
and have heen responsible for the conclusion
that the slayer of Burnett was,
| the same who slew David Hutto, although
the crimes were perpetrated
more than nine years apart.
The body of Mr. Hutto was found
December 29, 1911, in his small store
several days after he had been killed.
His store an pockets had been riffled
of what moneys he possessed at the
time of the crime. The left side of the
man's- head was crushed in, indicating
lhnt a heavy instrument had been employed,
and that ho had been struck a
terrific b'ow by his adversary.
(iO-Year-Old M<in Slain
Matthew B. Burnett, some fiO years
of age. met death on the night of December
14, 1920, when his skull was
crushed and his head otherwise mangled
by means of a heavy watm key,
the jagged teeth of which furnished a
formidable weapon. The discovery of
the crime was not made until several
hours after its perpetration.
For the past few years the murder
has baffled local authorities and although
they have made efforts to apprehend
the criminal and numbers of
suspects have been arrested, the i
'tracks of the criminal appeared to*

mysteries of this section, to re- <
nain forever unsolved perhaps, or un- r
il a death bed confession should place 1

he arrest of Kay was effected. ;
Regarding- Kay's alleged description 1
>f the killing of Burnett which he is t
dieted to have said that he accom- 1
jlished with a baseball bat, officers j
stated that the accuracy' with which j
his story was told was virtually un- <
canny. Kay declared according to the j
officers that he was sent to the store <

voman for whom he had been sawing i
vood. By this means he said lie found i
hat Burnett had a "big roll." Kay 1

FLOYD-PAGE
LAND DISPUTE
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWO)
nought the interest of Nancy Floyd;
that he did not buy anything from
John T. Floyd. He was under age.
Witness knew John's age. He also
said that Grainger had known the
land was subject to dower and did not
think it worth anything and he had
bought Grainger's right for a small
Rum. Witness was there when the
[lower was laid off. He bought the
land under the deed for the dower. He
got possession from Nancy Floyd and
her son and he had not claimed the
land before that. He had bid in the
land for taxes. The dower was laid off
alter that. Witness bid it off once at
the tax sale for Nancy Floyd, then
next time it went to Charles Grainger.
Witness was asked if he remembered
hearing John T. Floyd say at the first
trial that lie, John T. Floyd, did not
know anything about the Chas. Grainger
deed until he got the information
from hi-- attorneys in this case. He
paid that he would not have given
the $100.00 for the place at that time
but witness only did it to enable Floyd
to buy the other place in Floyd's
township. In the course of his testi-i
mony another deed was introduced to
show how defendant now holds two
hundred acres of other land.
A. L. Lewis testified he is a son of
Sheriff Dan C. Lewis. Sheriff Lewis
lived in the country at the time he
was elected as sheriff. Witness was
with his father when Chas. Grainger
went there after a paper. Witness did
,rioi know what kind of a paper but
.Grainger got one there at that time.
I. K. Blanton testified. He lives on
the adjoining place to Jno. T. Floyd.
He had heard Floyd say many times
that he did not want to work on tl o
pla^e down at Gallivants Ferry as he
might lose it. He did not want to build
up a place for Hill Page at his mother's
death. He had said that his reason
for buying a place in Floyd's
township was to have a place at his
mother's death.
Wm. Page recalled said that he h;id
been present at two sales of the Floyd
land and seemed to remember as
many as three.
Col. J. M. Johnson was recalled and
asked as to the location of certain
lands to show that the dower land was
not included in that. He pointed out
the location of different tracts on a
map made by him.
John T. Floyd was recalled in reply.
He said that he had never had any

to Mr. Page. p
