MRS W l WtlVS 6000 WORK The Plan as Outlined by Dr E O Wat^ son is to Raise $50,000 by Popular Subscription and Bond the Company for an Additional $50,000 and Build School House and Accessories. j The Con way B >ard of Trade held _ a meeting afc Jhe Waccamaw Club rooms last Thursday evcuiur bear Rev Jii. O. Watson and others for the purpose of establishing in Horry county an industrial school lor b jys und girls, and farm demonstration work. Dr Watson has been ^ in this enterprise for several years and it appears to be the one ambition of his life to establish such an enterprise in Iiorry county and devote his time and energj' aud the t unu-.ual talents which he possessed to the development thereof, and training of the rising generation in this part of the State. He made a very interesting address before the Board ? f Trade, in the course of which he outlined his plan for establinkl"" anhnol and finally paying * - w back to the subscribers dollar for dollar as well as pet dividends. The plan outlined by him is to purchase a large tract of land containing between three and five thousand acres of land, of which one thousand acres would be reserved and owned by the school and contain the buildings and other equitrnent, while the remaining lands would be improved by laying out | roads and drainage and selling out to farmers who would be induced to ^ locate. He stated that judging from past ^ experience that the land in Horry county as well as in the other counties of Eastern Carolina, in course of ten ye^rs time would under proper conditions become worth three or four times the original purchase price. The p'an therefore would be to subscribe $50,000.00 and purchase the land and erect the buildings, then bond the company for ^ $50,000 00 more, and in the course of ten years or longer, sell out the remaining lands with large profits and repay the stock to the stockholders, as well as the dividends, and each stockholder would still own his stock in the remaining land cnhnnl pnmoment. aUU DVsuvrw* r Sp?eches were made by R. B. Scarborough. C. P. Quattlebaum, A F. A. Burroughs, D. A. Spivey, and others* Much enthusiasm was shown in the enterprise and subscription lists were carried around on Friday to those who were interested. Mr Watson left Conway on the afternoon train of last Friday, and before he left the total of'? subscriptions taken by the business men of ^ - the town, we were informed, amounted to about 117,000 00. Mr Watson stated that as soon as $25,000 00 of the amount should be subscribed by the people of Horry county, he could get the remaining $25,000 00 subscribed by people outside of the county, A Dreadful Wound Irom a knife, gun, tin can, rusty nail, fireworks, or of auy other na#' ture, demands prompt treatment with Bueklen's Arnica Salve to pre vent blood poison or gangrenw. ib? the quickest, surest healer for all such wounds as also for Burns, Boils, Sores, Skiri Eruptions, Eczema, Chapped Hands, Corn or Piles. . 25c at Norton Drug Co.

He was in bathing in the lake with a crowd of other uegrc men and boys and with the others was trying to swim across the lake to some timber logs on the opposite shore.

An Industrial School to be Located in Horry County Oa Thursday night of last week Dr Watson met with the Conway Chamber of Commerce, and outlined in full his plan for theestablishment of an industrial school in our county As to the great benefit to be derivec from the establishment of the school in our midst I think we are aJi agreed, so we will not take tim* just here to discuss that phase of the question. But, when we are told that it will take $100,000 00 to carry out the scheme, we sfand oil and ask, can it be d jne? The great HOW stares us in the face. But * -i ~ r n here again the master minu m u> Watson comas to th9 rescue, and he discloses a scheme of finance thai not only makes the school an assured success, but which also holds ou to the stockholders great prospecbof a handsome money making deal To know how to go forward w* must look backward. And that i.what Dr. Watson did. For twelve or fifteen years he has been chairman of the board of trustees of Columbia College. A few years ago Mr Hyatt, of Columbia, offered the College twenty acres of land if the.v would move just outside of the city The offer was accepted, and the handsome new College buildings | were erected on_the tract, At that, I time, says Dr Watson, a mousauu acres of land could have been bought adjoining the school tract for one hundred dollars an acre. Now this same land is worth from one to two thousand dollars an acre If the College, before building, had bought a thousand acres of land then at the market price it would now be indioendently rich. But it did nob do it. Profit by this experience Dr Watson submits the following proposition: PROPOSITION, The orginization of a corporation under the laws of the State of South Carolina, with a capital stock of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.) authorized to purchase a desirable tract or tracts of land of not less than one thousand acres, preferable five thousand (5000) acres, of contiguous tracts, if possible, and the establisment and the maintenanceof an Industrial School and experimental farm thereon Five hundred co one thousand acres of laud to be reserv ed specially for school and experimental farm purposes, the balance of the land to be surveyed, the levels taken, roads laid out through the property, maps made showing elevations, etc., to be made for future use, and the same sold from time to time in conveniently small parcels or tracts for the establ shment of a co-operative rutal community. The school buildings, tlio farm and all equipment above referred to wili remain the property of the original stockholders in proportion to their original stock. Provided that if at any time, in the discretion of the stockholders, without detriment to the institution said school may be afliiiaied with or made a part of the common school system of the State by sale or other wise, such sale or alliiiation may be made It is understood that options have been secured on vast tracts of land 11 ^ in various sections 01 mu cuuuuy. I have been told, but I dont know how true it is, that these lands can be purchased for the school purpose for seven dollars au acre ridiculously low prico when we consider t iafc farm lands in other counties are now selling for from $100,00 to $200,00 am acre. It is now easy to see how the scheme will work Put $50,000,00. in lands at these low figures, bond the company for another $50,000,00 and put the school in the midst Then sell olT the lands at the greatly . inhanced value. These lands can be * - ? r : easily sold tor mree or iuui umca t the purchase price, the bonds retir. ed, the school paid for, and money returned to the stockholders with a liberal intore.>t besides leaving toem the school and farm as their owu , property. , But, $50,000,00 is to be raised. , Again Dr Watson comes to our res} cue, ana tells us that if $25,000,00 ? can be secured in this county tc j, give him backing to go abroad j with, he will undertake tc 3 raise the other $25,000,00 amonp the financial men of the State. The people of the town have promptly came across with about $17,000,01 in subscriptions to stock, Trie rest [ must be raised and raised immedi ately, Other sections of this Stat< t and other States are trying to ge Dr Watson to go there with hi! scheme. He wants to stvy in Horry but he can not do it unless we wan e the school bad enough to come acros ' with the stock. Wc must act an< ^ act now. The school is t > be nondenomina tional and located in the county The whole county will thus b benefited. Every foot of land wil be inbanced in value New peopl I with improved methods of farmiu is will be brought In our midst.

BIG CROWD IN ATTENDANCE i A Fine Exhibit of Stock and Other Products of These Colleges. Some Practical Lessons in Farming. The Prize Winners. The demonstration train of Clemson College and Wiuthrop College arrived in Conway last Monday night and remained over in the town until a late hour on Tuesday. Upon ' < ? s- ..... me arriyai 01 iuo irmu iu v>uuw?j, the coach in which the professors and lecturers were riding, was shifted out of the train and pulled on to Myrtle B ach where the party enjoyed a surf bath and a night o! cool breezes. The oar returned to Conway on the following morning and at an early hour the train was pulled upon the Cocway Coast & Western tracks near the Burroughs Graded School building, where the cars were opened to the public, and the school auditorium was used in connection with the lectures and demonstrations. Xne coming of the train had been well advertised through the papers. Con way was the only stop to be made in the county and this fact drew people from Loris, Bayboro, Homewood and other points. At an early hour on Tuesday morning the people began pouring into the town from all directions, and Conway had more people during the day than was expeoted would attend The stay of the train at this place was certainly successful in making demonstration to the people of the many agricultural subjects treated. Throughout the greater part of the day, the crowd of people passed through the cars and were interested to hear the many things told them by the professors concerning modern methods of farming. All those who visited the cars, whether farmers or those belonging to other callings, weut away feeling that they had been benefited by what they saw and heard. The Winthrop car was especially interesting to the ladies, for here home conveniences were set forth in attractive and instructive style. The cars containing the live stock came in for a large share of the attention given to the train by the many farmers in the crowd LOCAL CO:ICING CONTEST The cooking contest by the ladies of the county was concluded at the school building on Tuesday, and in this great interest was manifested. A largo number of ladies took part in the contest and the display of culinary articles were good to. look at. The judges were Mrs L. D. Long, Mrs B T. Hvman, Mrs S. E.

Watch out that T B Felder does not vet be whipped by South Carolina's Governor. I think if Governor Blease is pardoning so many convicts from a wholly sympathetic standpoint he is the best Governor South Caroilna ever had. but if he is using his power to grant special favors to his friends and brother grafters and as a bargain and sale to obtain votes prove some of these offenses, crap his wings and put him out of ollic* and don't have so much say about it for it is not wise to speak evil o ministers and rulers, so "show up' or "shut up," and be more cautious next election. I am yours for peace and pros peritv. Parmer. Galivants Ferry Route 1. Cotton Blooms.
