Then think of the proposition made by the town council to drain Laurel Street, provided the citizens who own lots on this street will drain their property. Is the county to have a larger court house? This question was up a short white ago, but for sometime we have heard nothing of it. We certainly need a larger court house. Our courts arc very instructive to the people who attend, and the house should be large enough to hold the crowds who invariably wish to be present. We do not believe the county is too poor to have a larger court house. We would be glad for t)ie authorities to got together and settle the question as to whether any step is tobe taken toward either building a new court house or enlarging the one we already have. For many reasons this needed improvement may not be made in the near future, but ne\? thcless, we want the question up; I settled. One thing that tlm people of Horry county should nut forget, is the fact that it is highly important to the best interests of the county to have at the exposition next year an exhibit which will show the progress of the county in tobacco culture. Just a few years ago and the people were ignorant of the adaptability of our soil to the culture of tobacco. Tobacco was grown in a small section of the county only. Now that we have found out that the soil of Horry, in almost any section you may name, is capable of producing fi#e, bright leaf, we shodld advertise it in every possible way to the outside world. There's no cheaper way to advertise than to get up an exhibit for the exposition at Charleston next year. 13efork our next issue is printed a new year win nave begun its course in the history of our lives. We leave with regret the year that is about to come to a close and feel profoundly thankful for the prosperity, and its attendant blessings, which has marked it. The year has brought many improvements to Conway and all over the Independent Republic can be seen many new signs of industrial improvement and progress in business enterprise. The people generally are in hotter .financial condition than at this time last year. Under such favorable conditions wo should enter upon the new year with plenty of good cheer. Let us begin the new year in the right way, determined to make the new year better than the one about to close. Hotter, because of more regular and better ways of living. Better, because of more earnest efforts Do accomplish something when opportunity ofTers. Hotter in every way that wo can make it. Food Changed to Poison.

I That was a happy gathering at the Hurroughs School building on last Tuesday night. Uoth old and young were there. The occasion was a Christmas celebration in the form of a Christmas tree, which was gotten up by ihe Sunday Schools of the Haplist and Methodist churches. The. greater part of the work was done by the young ladies of these <ili 11 I'l.lmo The beautiful, decorated tree and the many nice and useful presents distributed, spoke well for the taste and thoughtfulness of these young ladles ami their assistants.
