The Annual Inspection of Horry Hussars will be on June 16th. 1803. Thoy are requested to meet at Mus1 ter Shed at 0 o'clock A. M. dressed in full uniform with sabre and earbine. The next quarterly conference for Conway Station will he held on Friday night, June 10th; for Bucksvillo Juno 17th, for Mineral Springs, June 18th, Presiding Elder Clyde will preach in Conway Sunday night, Ju ne 18th. A company of young people went Up the river last week on a moonlight excursion. They report quite an enjoyable affair. They say it is no slain oil the pleasure of the party . that one young gentleman was altogether with malice u forethought left. Ml tX) ? I Our hustling carpenter Mr. Z. K. Johnson has won the contract for building tho school house at McClelhinville. His hid was ?200 and without doubt he will have a reputation down there when ho leaves. He's^known well here as the fastest workman in the country. U. S. Commissioner Quattlebaum has bound over C^J. Bryant, of Board Landing, and J. E. Nixon, of Grahaniville, to appear at the next term of tho U. S. Court at Charleston to answer charges of selling liquor without license. o The Confederate Survivors' Asso*?i?tion will meet ir. the Cohrt House at Conway on July 3rd, sale day. Mr 11 T. Ml IVIII 1/1 //. ut(H> WI givu ill I llUUOUIIt of the battle at the Crater, Peters burg. A full attendence is wanted. The meeting wil^ no doubt bo very interesting. ? It has boon argued something like this: "Thegossip and politicians tells one how wicked his neighbors are; y knowing this, one may the more easily { / shun this evil he is told of and beoome a good man and good citizen." HP* And the logical result as stated by the reasoners is^ "Conway is a good H town full of good." I The Knights of Honor excursion to I/aurel Hill will certainly be au I enjoyable occasion. All arrangeH ments are bein^fihadc to give excurHM. ^ionaHa a ?leaslnt day. The Ladies Aid Society has made arrangements I'"v\ lu sen ice cream during the day. At Laurel Hill, the pleasure of whnesj^ . ingagnme of base ball will' be jflB thrown in free of charge, and the HB dinner will Aot be only a sight worth HB seeing. The Bank of the Carolinas will resume business. At a meeting of the board of directors it was decided |^B that as soon as the creditors of the bank should agjfee to the circular sent BB out to them some time ago, the Bank j^B would go back to work. The cirI I cular says no loans are to be made under any circumstances until fur .ther order of the board of directors and no order drafts allowed. The ^B assets of the bank are ample to cov er liabilities if reasonable time be BB| allowed to prevent the necessity of 1 ^B forcing callateral,and securities upon ^^B the work during the present fiyan^B cial stringency. HB ; l <+ J The limber dry d?>ck being built by the U. S. rtt l\?rt Iloyal broke sometime ago. This will delay the completion of it till late in the year. The llorry Hussars will meet at the muster shed in Conway at nine o'clock Juno lGtli, for annual inspection by Adj. Inspector General Farley. The members will appear in full uniform with saber and carbine. L. H. Long, Capt. We have sent out statements to those who are in arrears for subscription and some of them have remitted promptly, while some others have not paid any attention. It is better for them to settle these accounts as soon as possible, if they would only realize it. It is true, times are bard, but remember that it is hard tunes with us as well as others, and we have to make sacrifices to meet our obligations and wo cant expect nothing less of those who are indebted to us. A man oauie in town a few days ugo with country cured hams to sell. He realized fifteen cents per pound for all ho brought to town, and says he has nlentv for His own use nnrl 1 J w " "" "**" some more to soli. This# sumo man said that he had not "bought any hog meat or corn in 20 years. Mr. Solomon .1 oilie in the Poplar section is the man whom wo have reference to. How much better it would be if every other farmer in the county would make plenty of corn and meat. There would be no need of these expensive debt-making cotton crops, if tho people had confidence enough iu \hemselve8 to believe that they could cultivate and realize more clear money on other crops, at present prices?bacon high and cotton Jow. The Hank of Conway was organized on May 2Gth, but owing to an oversight, a full report of same did not appear last week. The corpora tors called the subscribers together on 20th ult., and B. G. Collins, C. P. Quattlebaum, P. G. Burroughs, .1. A. Mayo, \Y. 11. Lewis, .J. A* McDermott and B. B.Scarborough were elected Directors of the hank. The hoard of Directors then held a meeting and the following officers elected: B. G. Collins, President; C. P. Quattlehoiiin, Vice President; I). A. Spiviey, Cashier; It. B Scarborough, I Attorney. The certificate of Incorporation was received from the Sec rotary of State last week and duly recorded in the Clerk's oflioe. Over $14,000 of stock has boon taken, all in Horry County. It is expected that a suitable brick building for the bank will be erected in the near future. Threo excursions have loft Conway lately, two for Georgetown, and one for lied llluff; two for negroes and one for whites. On June 3rd, two boat loads of people loft the wharf, for the pleasure and social enjoyment of a days ride on the Waccamaw. Tho Maggio carried about one hundred and thirty people to (jpni'iTAfnwn Thnv I ? .. ..i O.IIUJ UHIICU UClUll" the Dispensary Law becomes in force in that place. The Driver carried a considerable crowd of negroos up the rirer to Red Bluff. They came back, it is said, by themselves. On the Saturday before, the Maggie carried about two hundred negroes down to Georgetown through, to, and hack by the wet. Before we cease remarking on this interesting subject of excursions, we would rise to ask if somo gentleman of a mathematical mind would calculate for the benelit of the general publio how much money goes out of the country yearly by means of these luxurious medical journeys? Also please calculate tho amount Horry receives in return and you will oblige without doubt many curious gentlemen and temperance ladies. The Burroughs High School closed another prosperous session on last Friday. Some information upon the year's work will bo reportod next week. The people of Conway are justly proud of this institution, not so much because it is the only one in the country chartered to confer degrees; but because it is a recognized factor in the progress and prosperity of our town and county. We are proud of it; but it can hardly be said it is fully appreciated. If our work for it were equal to our pride in it, the house could not hold the pupils nor "the county the good it would do. In many respects it would be hard to find a better place for a high school than Conway. While the social influences upon tho school children may not be as broadening as could be found; the moral and in tellectual influences are not better * \ anywhere. Much fault could easily ' bo found in the lack of outward ex pression of interest by the putrous of i tho school and too citiacng of the town, but we all know what quiet und meditative and possibly inert people our climate makes of us; it is by hard and still thinking Conway manages to get along. Perhaps it is better under the conditions to let the pupils alone, not call at the school house at all, not let the hard worked school-master know we j appreciate his efforts except as we cii8ually say so on the street; maybe the soholars will ho more quiet an J thoughtful. Such possibly is the way we look upon the mutton but I am inclined to beliove, if the students of our school are blade thoughtful and studious by these moans, the place has changed since 1 was there a few years ago. The library of over a thousand volumes was given to this school by some gentlemen of our town several years ago. This in itself is worth a great deal to the student. There is nothing that gives the influence that a case of books does. About there is a studious, a literary atmosphere which inculcates a feeling into the student that is invaluable to him, whether he he lawyer, doctor, farmer, blacksmith, engineer or ditch digger. The iuterest in intellectual training that iho library pays upon the moilCk\T in voutorl lit it irt itt/t.?1/t.il?l?l? vj Iiiitoivu ?, IO illUUlUlliUUIl'. After wo have passed through the present great transition period, we hope to see nil our people riso to the support cf educational institutions everywhere, from our district school to our biggest college. We have no fear that then the Burroughs High School will fail to call forth by its own intrinsic value, a still stronger support, n still greater interest, and much fuller school-house than it now has. Kale Day. Sale day as usual passed very quietly. Everybody seemed to have come in on business. The Sheriff sold off a horse, two buggies, two road carts, and two waggons dead cheap. SAD MOWS FROM SOCASTI3H. A Son ol'Mi*. Turbovillc Horned to <l?atli. On last Monday night, the house of Mr. ?J. J. Turbeville of Socastee was burned with all the furniture. One of his children was lost in the ll.wnrs and another badly burned. w It seems that tlie lire caught from the kitchen, which was one of the ground floor rooms in the main building. The whole family was asleep and the lire had great head wuy wnen uiey awoKe. The boys' rooms were on the second floor. At tho alarm, the two older and younger escaped from the building; but somehow, another failed to get out of his room. One of the children was rescued by the father through a hole in the roof. This ono is so badly burned, his life is in a precar-? ions condition. Only a few chrrred remains of his fifteen year old son could be found by Mr. Turbcville. This is indeed a sad occurrence. Mr. Turbcville has the sympathy of the whole county in his great loss. This is the third fire in this section in the last weok or two. First .Mr. {Sbigleton's, then a negro hut, now this lost and saddest of all. Tli? Fishing Party Unturned. The gentleman who went to Wachesaw on a fish hunt havo returned. They all rofuse to be interviewed. One young gentleman of the party incoutiously remarked that he fished for two days with two panels and a half of wire fence on a clothes line and didn't catch as many as Jack, who don't eatr fish, could cat. Tho reporter slipped up on a little crowd to eavesdrop a local and heard one of the party remark that he didn't think the fish meant any harm by occasionally traveling by Wachesaw, it was pure accidental. The only thing the party officially givos is that the biggest (i?h caught was hooked through a hole ene foot and eicht in rlinmnt.,.. tu. Q - w -----V ill MIWMIV-UVI X IIO holo seemed to bo too small for the fish co get through; or the fish swallowed the hole when ho struck the bait, so the fisherman was unable to land the fellow. The party returned on the Maggie with a German band, who were traveling toward Wilmington. They report outside of above particulars, a pleasant time especially while under care of Capt. Zack of the Maggie. Tli? Fair. Speaking of the Worlds Fair, it will fare one well if he secure a low fare to the fair and good faro, have fair weather at the fair, ^et a fair view of the fair, reciero fair treatment j from the managers of the fair and ( from the fair whom he may greet , with fair words, and finally give a 1 fuir judgemsnt of tfee fair. Having 1 fared fairly well, he can, fair mind, | say farewell. I An Old ami Valuable Medal ol 17311. The young son of Mr. 11. P. Bird, of Watchesaw, pickpd up beside the river not long ago, a very curious and old medal; it is doubtless very valuable. The metal of tho piece is very light, with a copper <>r zinc color. It is not worn; tho battered places look moro like they were broken than rubbed away. Tho obverse side of tho medal has a relief picturu of an English Naval officer of many years ago and the legend in revised letters: THE BRITISH GLORY REVIY D BY A DM I RAL-VERNON. The reverse contains relief pictures of two castles, on right and left, connected l>y an upper half circle of houses, all rudely showing a bay guarded at its mouth by two forts. Below and within the half circle are six ships, mainsail and foresail set as if for maneuvering. The legend also in raised letters is: HE TOOK PORTO BELLO WITH SIX SHIPS ONLY; and the date is Nov. 17, 173th This is undoubtedly a medal stuck by the Parliament of England or King George 11 in honor of Admiral Vernon's capture of the Spanish colonial town Porto Belio during the English-Spanish wars. Admiral Edward Vernon was born in 1081 in England and died in 1757. "He bocamo rear admiral in 1708 and was returned to Parliment, in 1720: Having there declared that Porto Hello could bo captured with six ships, he was sent out with that number of ships in 1739, and cap tured it with the loss of only 7 men." "Porto Hello, or Puerto Hello, is a small decayed seaport town, of the United States of Columbia, on the northern shore of the isthmus of Panama. It has fallen into decay since 1739, when it was stormed by Admiral Vernon, during the war between England and Spam."?Internutiomrf < <Ha.
