The easy places may have been taken up before you were bom.
o
This country is coming to a period when the colleges may be
overcrowded.
o
The biggest fortunes have been founded on small savings
from the lowest of wages.
o 1
Germany rose in what she regarded as almighty power, but
was only training for a fall. a
o
Some men always think that they have a good case against another
when really they may have nothing.
o
Success on the farm means the same as success in anything
else. It demands the entire time 'and attention. Nothing else can
do it.
o . |
Conway business men must present an united front in the
matter of a tobacco market here. That is ^the better wray of
getting it.
o
There is the man who will take advantage of another and use
it to his own ends. There is also the man who will temper '
his- advantage with mercy.
o .. j
Better crops can be produced by improving the seeds. How
many farmers in Horry County are trying to improve their
seeds from year to year?
o?
Some men think they know it all, while others are modest because
they have learned much and yet do not feel that they
'have (learned it all.
o
There are two kinds of men in business now as there has
been always. One is the kind who leans in favor of
his customers while the other* is the kind who lea ns in favor of
himself.
o
There is no man who knows everything there is to be learned 5
about the business in which he is engaged. There are many who j
stop trying to learn, however, and so far as they are concerned,
it has all been learnpH.
? !
The cut-over lands of this section are now bringing about asj
much for the young growth of timber as the original growth
brought when Charles Marthinson, more than twenty years ago
went through the county buying timber options.
o
When something, no matter how small, is saved every year
and invested in the business, the owner may feel that he is getting
ahead. When there is nothing saved and the debts have
been increased and nothing to pay them with, there is indeed a
bad outlook for the business man.
o
One result of better roads is greater speed. The automobile is
like other things after men have used it a while. When the
car is new to the owner it is a pleasure to him at any speed.
As time goes on interest in the machine, as a machine, loses out
and new stunts must be tried. After a time speed becomes the
only thing about the machine that creates any interest for him,
so that if the roads are good there is too thought of possible
accidents and the throttle is opened wide.

i THERE IS SOME DOUBT S
% :
Edmund I). Bigham, the slayer of an entire family, according
to the verdict of a jury in the courts of Florence County, has
been granted the consent of the suprme court of this State to
argue another motion for a new trial of his case; Nvhile in the
meantime he remains in ,the county jail of Florence County
where he was recently taken for the purpose of being resentenced
and which would have been carried out if the consent
for the new motion had not been granted by the court of
last resort.
Judge S. W. G. Shipp passed on a motion for a new trial on
after-discovered evidence some time last year and he found
against the contentions of Bigham's lawyers; so when it came
time to hear a second motion for a new trial on that same ground
Judge Shipp held that he was disqualified to hear it, hence the
hearing of Bigham's motion the second time has been indefinitely
postponed, though it is believed that this new motion will

PORTER WINS
COTTON CASE;
Left a Bale of Cotton With ;
R. R. Company at
Loris 1
i
J. W. Porter tried his case last week
Against the Atlantic Coast Line Hail
Road Company to recover the value of :
'a bale of cotton which Mr. Porter
claimed he left at Loris under the
promise of A. F. Cannon, the agent,
to issue to him a hill of lading."
J. W. Porter testified that he left
the bale of cotton there and that Cannon
promised to give the bill of lading
to Mr. Butler the next morning. He
never got the bill of lading.
W. E. Porter testified that a few
days after it was alleged the cotton
had been left he went to Loris and
asked Cannon about the shipping of
the bale of cotton; that Mr. Cannon
paid he had forgotten the bill of lading
for the cotton.
This was the case as made out for
the plaintiff and plaintiff rested here.
The defendant proceeded to put up
its witnesses. A. F. Cannon testified
he was consulted about the cotton
after he had closed up the station
hoilse and that Butler asked him to
ship the cotton and mail Porter the
bill of lading. He never saw the bale
of cotton and did not know whether
it was ever placed there. He said that
the bale of cotton could not be found
some days later when W. E. Porter
came there and asked if the cotton
had been shipped. He said he had notices
nosted up forbidding the placing
of things on the platform before getting
bills of lading for them. He denied
that he told W. E. Porter that he
had forgotten his father's bill of lading.
He denied that Porter had ever
told witness when he had placed the
bale of cotton. He was shown a letter
on cross examination and he admitted
his signature to it. This letter was
introduced in evidence. The fetter
stated that witness, Porter and Butler
i.1 ' 1 '
?cic tuKcinci on me Mirnei and warned
a bao of cotton shipped; that he
told Butler if he would call next day
he would ship it and issue the bill of
lading; that later the cotton could not
be found; that Butler had not called
the next morning and witness had not
thought any more of the cotton and
when W. E. Porter called a few days
later the cotton could not be found.
This was about all of the testimony
offered in the matter and the case
was left with the jury after brief arguments
by the attorneys on the opposing
sides.
The jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $375.00.
MULLINSATFY
BACK AT WORK
Hon. M. C. Harrelson, of the firm of
Harrelson & Harrelson of Mulling, has
so far recovered from his illness of
last Winter that he was able to attend
the Horry court last week and attend
to business he had before the court.
His illness resulted from an infected
wound on his foot. Just before last
Thanksgiving day, Mr. Harrelson was
wearing a pair of new shoes. They
blistered a little spot between the toes.
