COURT RESUME
OF WORK DONE
The Horry Herald will give in this !
article a resume of the work of the J
Court of Common Pleas lasting
through two weeks from July 2 to July
14th, 1923; being1 the first term of
two weeks of this court under a new
act which was passed at the last ses- j
sion of the General Assembly. 1
By refernce to the roster made up '
by the members of the bar of cases to '
be tried at this two weeks term and
which was published three or four :
weeks ago, it will he seen that a total 1
of 52 cases were set for trial. It is r
now interesting to know how many f
out of this number were actually i
passed upon and how many of them t
are still left on the dockets to be dis- i
posed of. it is interesting to note in t
this connection that something less
than half of the cases on the docket 1
got placed on the roster when the e
lawyers met sometime before court. |(
Following are the cases actually tried
and what became o fthem:
1 v
John T. Floyd vs. William Page for 1
recovery of real estate. The plaintiff
won the land and damages of $500.00. t
The defendant has entered suit
against Floyd for $40,000,00 improve- t
ments and has given notice of appeal '
to the Supreme Court. '
2 a
W. L. Mishoe vs Atlantic Coast J
Line Railroad Company. The plaintiff
claimed damages to the amount of r
$1,500.00. The jury could not agree ^
and a mistrial was ordered. The case '
and what became of them.
3
Johnson Pfiint Co. vs. J. J. Goff.
This concerned the sale of a lot of
paint to the defendant. The jury found j'
for the defendant. A motion for a new 1
trial is pending and the court has in- 8
timated its opinion to be that a ver- *'
diet should have been directed for the "
plaintiff.
4
N. Feldman vs. Solomon Scherr. y
This was a suit on a book account "
which resulted in a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $765.57. ,
5 :
A. J. Watts vs. Jesse Arnette re- r
suited in a verdict for the plaintiff for t
the land in dispute without any dam- '
age. Suits for betterments are now on
file and an appeal will be taken to the }
Supreme Court.
6
The case of J. T. Mishoe vs. Trexler r
.Lumber Company was submitted toj'
the court and a jury did not pass on *
it. The decision will come out later.
7 f
J. W. Porter vs. Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company resulted in a verdict
for the value of a bale of cotton
that Porter claimed he left at the depot
at Loris.
8 "
Tn the case of Jos. W. Holliday
against T. J. Bell and others, after
the triul had been started Judge '
Shipn recalled that he was related to
Mr. Hollid iv by marriage and the case ]
was withdraw from the jury on that
account and will be disposed of next
time.
9 1
M. B. Thompson vs A. C. Thompson,
the jury found for the plaintiff the 1
sum of $500.00. Late in the last week
of the court after hearing1 arguments,
Judge Shipp granted an order giving
a new trial unless the defendant, A.
C. Thompson, will agree to pay the
sum $2500.00 and interest at 7 percent
from Julv 31st, 1919, and which makes
about $3250.00 to be paid, or the case
will be tried over.
10 ,
Cooper-Smith Company had rases
against R. L. Hell, O. J. Hell and J. L.
Bell on account and the defendants
claimed they had left cotton with the
plaintiff which was sold unlawfully
and they denied that they owed anything
on the accounts. These cases
were all tried together at the :? me
time and the jury found three verdicts
for the plaintiff and against the defendants
as follows: O. J. Bell $1030.64;
R. L. Bell $1294.02; Estate of J.
L. Bell $1396 32. It was found that the
jury had made a slight error in calculating
the interest on the account in
each case so that an order was signed
by the Judge requiring the plaintiff to
11 '1 x / L ~ r
remit a small amount irom uucii cm i
these verdicts and the plaintiff agreed
to that and judgments will be entered
for the following amounts net with
the cost, of course, to he added: O. J.
Bell $996.70; R. L. Bell $1260.07; Estate
of J. L .Bell $13.00.53. It may he
that these cases will he appealed to
the Supreme Court hut Judge Shipp
refused to grant new trials.
11
M. M. Stanley vs. P. R. Casey, J. J.
Casey and O. L. Casey, claiming damages
for false imprisonment and assault
and battery, full particulars of
which appear elsewhere in this issue.

Eat Prunes If You Wish
To Grow Fat and Plump
THIN MEN AND WOMEN DO YOU
WANT TO GET FAT AND BE
STRONG?
The trouble with most thin folks,
who wish to gain weight, is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless "flesh creams," or following
some foolish physical culture
stunt while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract properly assimilates
the food you eat. Drink a glass
of cold water four or five times a day
and take tho following preparation,
known to reliable druggist* almost
everywhere, which seemingly embodies
the missing elements needed by
the digestive organs to help them convert
food into rich, fat-laden blood.
This preparation is called Prunitone,
and much remarkable testimony is
given as to its successful use in flesh
building. Prunitone taken at meals to
prepare fat, flesh and muscle building
elements so that the blood can readily
accept and carry them to the starved
portion of the body. You can readily
picture the transformation that additional
and previously . lacking fleshmaking
material shoiwl bring to your
cheeks, filling out hollows about your
neck nad shoulders, and your taking
on from 15 to 30 pounds of solid,
healthy flesh. Prunitone is harmless,
inexpensive, efficient. Piatt's Pharmacy,
Conway, S. 0., and Harrelson's
Pharmacy, Tabor, N. C., are selling
quantities of it to their customers
daily. If you need a tonic try it at
once.
Caution:.. Prunitone is recommended
only as a fle^h builder and while
excellent results in cases of nervous
indigestion, etc., have been reported,
care should be taken about using it
unless a gain of weight is desired.

much interest, one of the articles concerning
Conway during the vcav, upbearing
in The Herald some months
i,go; rind she addressed a letter to Mr.
J. Watts asking for certain records

would he glad to get.
Mr. Watts has not heen to obtain
for her any of ihe information
that she wants, and h:t * now decided
o publish her leiter, in the hope that
somebody mav be able to send her
this, and her letter to him, in full, folows:

Dear sir:
The "Spartanburg Herald" (Sunlay)
copied an article from the "Hor y
Herald" which stated you were a
>vriter of many long-ago articles.
Will you please let me know if you
lave any Revolutionary Records. Mrs.
ck who lived in your town (nov
lead) had a great many copies of
'The Central Presbyterian," containing
reminisences of the Revolutionary
var, written by her father, Rev. Seay,
md were signed "Ezra." Can you give
v>e any information as to where these
japers can be found. I wrote to John
Buck in reference to the papers, with
10 information. This was very valuible
first-hand information, our South
Carolina histories fail to give.
Hoping to hear from you, also hopng
to have the pleasure of reading
nanv more of your newspaper arti

threat progress. Not only do the
courses teach lessons in the textbooks,
?ut the great textbook of life is daily
)laeed before the pupils and they :;re
aught to be better home makers and
nore useful iti every way. Health, hygienics,
sanitation, cooking, sewing,
saving and investing money, growing
lotton under boll weevil conditions, t.11
?uch subjects are taught. It is .narve<-?us
exnerience for these people. Miss
jray wishes that a larger number of
ural people would take advantage of
the Opportunity Schools. The fact that
the mill managers are humanely invested
has made it possible for the
mill workers to be so largely represented.
The school for men at Erskine
is a new venture, but promises
great success.
