oOt. Cot tine. The ?eni8, lias just .e New Court House. .ou 11eiiai.d:?Please allow me ^e in your columns to say a few .ords in Lehalf of the new court house and jail. 1 see several communications in opposition in which that one mill tax seems to be a terror. It is said that the present court house is sufficient to hold all the people who have business there. Wo submit that every man in the county has the right to go in and hear the proceedings of the court if he so wishes. How can a man exercise this right , when there is no room even to stand at times. Mr. Editor I have often boon at the court house and could not get in on account of the lack of room. This is not right bnr'.nisA ni'oi'u man iviv< liiv; kIihi'ii of taxes and all should be allowed equal privileges. Many would be benefitted by attending and hearing the proceedings of the court. The increase in population de ir.ands a much larger building than the present one, and we say by all means lets have it. The necessary tax is so small that we do not see how anybody can object to that, who has any interest in the up building of Horry county. We think the jail would answer a while longer, but lets have the new court house and have it where the present one stands. We think there will be enough votes to carry it through. VoTKU. Dongoln Dots. Wo had a heavy rain last Friday evening, one that made the farmers g!ad. Miss Lula Martin and Mrs. Bessie Baldwin of Port flarrelson visited relatives here last week. Jess Cannon who has been spending the past three years in Waveross Georgia, came home last week on a visit. W. II. Alford opened the publie school at the Halfway a week or two ago.

She counted "time by heartthrobs." Her life was a living epistle. In childhood she jjave her life to the ( alileau peasant who called llimscll the Mesiah, and from that event she never deserted His standard. She had many friends. She loved people and 1 hey loved her in return. It could not have been otherwise. Her death was most pathetic. The evening before the t ragic occurrence she expressed the preference ol death by drowning if she had 'net choice. And it came that way. With friends about her and with n smile upon her face she was carried out by an outgoing tide of old At lantic to that peaceful harbor where storms (h? never eome nor billowsroar. r'The ways of <!oel are most mysterious." That with one of hot personal attractions and inanifoh aeeoniplislnnents, with all "thcyraci of life which virtue fives'' should he ruthlessly and suddenly torn fron the love of admiring friends, while so many others,not se> well eepiippei for life, and u-mfulnoss in life-, remain, is one- e>f the problems of t his narrow sphere most dillicult. llul (lod doctli all things well and lie mnkcth no mistakes.

Prices are so very good that everybody seems pleased. At the Friday's sales of tobacco at Horry Warebome, which was a large one, there, was not a single tag turned. It was a sale of which Capt.

This is i mistake, for prices paid for tobacct at Conway are fully up if not bettei than on any market we know of Every man in Horry county wh< raises tobacco should test this mat ter for himself by selling at least i part of his crop at Conway.
