an enjoyable affair. They say it is

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.

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.

and no order drafts allowed. The

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

He realized fifteen cents per pound

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

How this medal come to ho on the
hanks of the Waccnmaw River is
beyond reasonable conjecture.
