r- ■■T i if THE CUNTON CHRONICLE ■■■ ■ ■■■■^ i ■ 11 ■" •JlfJv CHnton, & C, Thursday, February 14, 1961 Flowers blooming profusely in well-groomed gardens on the banks of the rippling, wafers of a picturesque river should be considered a popular setting for any love story. ^ And love it is . . . perhaps not the type story some would con sider provocative nor ideal for today’s influx of paperbacks, but a story appealing to a group of travelers seeking new epics among the old. a Our Palmetto Pathway today takes us to the banks of the love ly Waccamaw River and we find residing in the capitol of Horry (O’Ree) County^ a peculiar sect of lovers—nature lovers. Soon Conway’s garden^ will be gin blooming. Make 'your plans now to visit this city of grandeur. The gardens and river provide a backdrop for enviable Southern home life and historical tradi tions found in only a few areas-of our Southeast. On Kingston Lake afe appro priately appointed homes shelter ed beneath giant oak and pine trees. Boat tours of the lake and river may be arranged through the enterprising Conway Cham ber of Commerce. / And, if you are of a mind, why not visit some of the historic buildings located on the tree- shrouded Conway streets. There’s the headquarters of the Chamber for a starter. This is an old home near downtown and yet distant from the rush of modern traffic noises. Nearby is the historic Conway - 4“' Pet- Skim Milk where the pounds were! Only calories are missing!

In fact, the township had its beginning around this stately old sanctuary on the banks of the Waccamaw. In 1730, Kingston Township was laid out to comprise most of the land now in Horry County between the Waccamaw'and Lit tle Pee Dee Rivers. Under the direction of Robert Johnson, Roy al Governor at Charleston, in 1734 the same persons who laid out the township were named to lay out the Town of Kingston. Kingston was settled chiefly by the Scotch-Irish. The town was later named in honor of Col. Robert Conway. Horry County got its name from Brig Gen. Peter Horry. Conway grew into a thriving community, advertised as the ‘center' of recreation paradise, gradually over many years. Sto ries are told how farmers—and Horry County has always been an agricultural giant in the state —used to come io town on week ends and hold foot races and pig callings in its downtown. In those days the streets were muddy paths and everything was centered around the train depot, the tobacco warehouse, the court house or the river bank. Traffic consisted only of horse-drawn ve hicles. When toe train came to town, owners of horses would dis mount or rush to toe hitching posts and hold dearly to the fright#fted beasts. Today, U. S. Highways 378, 501 and 701 intersect at Conway and even with the addition of a by pass on 378 which routed travel ers around the downtown area, traffic continues during the spring, summer and fall to be heavy, especially oq week-ends. When you arrive at Conway, and after your visit to the Cham ber of Commerce, you will want to make a stop at the court house. This is a building of the typical Mills design, having been constructed in 1824 on plans drawn by the master architect in South Carolina history — Robert Mills. r J__ There are many things you will enjoy and learn upon taking a jaunt along this Palmetto Path way.
