Hut all tlic Balance of the Candidates will He I'rit Ait Tho State candidates will bo at Conway on July 20th to address the people and tell their little tales of woe. Conway generally gives the State candidates a large audience and as a general ruje they got a quiet hearing. The usual large crowd is expected this year, but it seems that Tillman, the big gun of the crowd will not bo here. Mr. J. A. McDermott. chairman of the executive committee, had a letter from him some weeks ago stating that he would be here to address tho people, but latter he learned that tho Senator had changed lit*oi plans and would only speak i/j/ particular places named, and Conway was not among those places. The speaking will take place on tho lawn in front of Col. D.A. Spivey's rosi lence and on the opposite side of Main Street from the Methodist Church. It was here that the old soldiers had their encampment last spring but the stately oaks will hear hot political talk next Friday instead of the patriotic eloquence of the former occasion. There are quite a number of candidates for State otliecs and as the time is limited short subjects may lw, hi- i-A |?rv;irii . A Card from Mr. Jackson. Mr. l?il it or: H bo^an to look sometime ago like Messrs. Spivey and Mishoo were going to have an easy ride over, but it seems now that some of the other boys are desirous of sharing in the rich spoils of the conquest and have come out in a mighty army to give them battle. If they had come sooner 1 would have liked i it better, as I had no idea of making the race for any otTice up to a few days ago although I had been solicit ed several times by different part ies, lint as I did not know Mr. Spivey's i platform and could not exactly agree with Mishoo I decided 1 would come < out so that the people would have some one to scratch on election day. | Now if some of the other eandi- i dates have my platform 1 will with- l draw from the race as my friends , feared that the prejudice that has existed and been exhibited in cam- ; paigns in the past against Marion | men, though I think the day of such bitterness as that in this county is a thing of the past, and the people j have realized the fact that there are \ some good men here from other ; uhu'i's si? cv?>ll nv i-iuenlo I want all the other candidates 1 for the House to let their platforms 1 he known through the papers, so < that I can see if any of them have i mine, as 1 think the people will con- < sider the platform this time more i than they will the man?that is in- ( telligent people. ; 1 am no politician and if I do continue in the race I shall not sling i any mud. I shall make a clean cut, square race and shall not offer any inducements to get votes Jfcther than the best service I can gi\< t the people as a whole, self interest being left out of the question. liespcctfully, A.

Crops are pretty good considering so much rain. Well, the 4th of July picnic at Windy Hill was a grand success. There was about live hundred that participated, and seemed-to eninv f , ? - ' the occasion. The Warn pep band rendered somo very sweet, music. I will make mention of some who attended from a distance. Mrs. Hegy?| from Sumter, some from Marioi* county, Columbus county, N. C., find the lower part of Horry county In fact the Fourth was pretty well represented here from all parts of the county. No marriages to report at this writing. Rev. Rufus Ford make n pleasant visit to this place on Saturday before the second Sunday and delivered an interesting sermon at Union Va 1 ley ch urch which was errjoycd by a good number. * I hear there will be another picnic at Windy Hill on the 3rd of August. Hope there will be no one that will be so beastly as to get under the the influence of liquor on this occasion. If this don't find its way to the waste basket I will come again.

Hy ten o'clock a large crowd had assembled in the beautiful grove near the end of the mill dam. Among them were many candidates elbowing their way. Those present made good speeches and were given the best of attention. Chairman S. M. Moore introduced tirst, \\\ F. Holt for magistrate. Next followed Hon. U. I). Harrelson, who answered many questions to the satisfaction of the people relative to the court and stock law. Then followed H. \V. Mishoe who wanted to see one good road in the county, he also favored a State dispensary instead of local option \V 11. Small made a short speech in favor of good roads. F. Marion Johnson for Probate Judge made a good speech, he also answer* ed many questions asked by E. Van Graham. W. A. Prince for Superintendent of Education.* was told that ho need not speak. Ho said ho had not come to make a speech hut only desired to thank his friends n?i ijiiL-ir su|)|Hin iwo years ago. K. 1'. McQueen wanted all to vote for him for Treasurer. Prof. C. H. Dawsey, (not a candidate) made a strong speceli for prohibition in which he declared the dispensary to be a rotten insitution. Last came W. L. Mishoe who was not a candidate, but said he would be in two years. We were soon invited to dinner Here a long table wus found fairly groaning under the weight of good things to satisfy the inner man. Surely the good women which played an important part in adding pleasure and happiness throughout the day knew too well how to satisfy the appetite of a hungry candidate. Good order prevailed. Cool drinks were served by the Dawsey boys. We would be glad to welcome the crowd again. Sam Moore. Wa m pec Notes.

We tf*ke it this delay, if delay it can be termed is a favorable ground for the belief that when the work is commenced all plans, specifications and arrangements will be complete even down to the minutest detail so that when the buildings are turned over to the people of Horry there will be nothing shoddy nor incomplete nor neglected about them that would mar their beauty or destroy the conveniences of and comfort of their arrangement. ft pat* ON WAY.

The house was tastefully decorated, green and yellow being the color scheme Immense sun-llowers stood in artistic nooks as if placed there by nature, each head ever followiug the sun, so different Ironi the sons we saw here as they ever followed the daughters. A few games were played, then came a contest in sewing, as each young man endeavored to hem best his partner's dainty apron. Mr. Julian Heaty won the prize, which no doubt he wishes had been the heart of his fair partner. After this, delicious refreshments were served and as the moon shed her silvery light overall the earth, we said good bye wishing that such pleasures came oftener in life. Lcroy Woodbury of Wilmington, N. C.. who has been visiting his uncie ('apt. W. L. Oliver, returned homo Thursday. I toy made many friends while here who regret very much to see him leave.

John Bolt did not see the issue of the Herald proceeding the date fixed hy the executive committee for the filing of pledges in the county campaign, and did not reach here in time to file his pledge before six o'clock on the 10th. He was in Conway last Saturday to see members of the executive committee and especially the chairman to see if he could not arrange to file his pledger with their consent even now. It was thought he might write each member of the committee at their various offices over the county, but we arc not informed as to the result.

St ill tho rain comes ami tlio grass rrows ami tho farmers can't get the labor to do their work. We think the farmers would do well to plant only enough to work themselves, make the land rich and not depend on outside labor, then what they make will be theirs. I can't see the use in planting more than one can get labor to work and I ho|>o the time will soon come when the farmers will see the |>oint and act accordingly. There are several cases of fever through hero at this time. The Rev. Charles Mullock commenced a meeting of days on Sunday afternoon. Wo hope there will be ;ruch good accomplished thereby.

Health not generally good. The crops have got a little back set by the heavy rains that have recently prevailed over them in this section, but old Hrother Croon has been receiving a great many fatal blows lately. Well, what about the railroad? Is it drowned out or what has become of it?. We were in hopes awhile thai we would soon have - the pleasure of hearing the. whistle of the locomotive and tlie roar of tlie wheels and I think we will have that opportunity if everybody would just put their shoulders to tlie wheel and keep pushing until the task is done. Well, we think the Soutlwn'ii Cotton association to be the very tiling t lie Southern cotton farmer needs. Mr. Willie Stevens passed through this section last Tuesday night en route to Sliallottc.
