I ( THURSDAY Sept, 11th 1002 _ i Not w i Til si' \ n DINU the unfavorable seasons which threatened at one time during the year, the farmers over the county have generally rais cd abundant crops. In addition to the crops of corn, potatoes and other food crops, cotton and tobacco , have llourished and yielded well, i Tobacco is bringing better prices ' than it has for years past, and high ! i prices are predicted for cotton. Taking it all in all, the country as a whole, is in the midst of a season < of prosperity for which the people should be thankful. The short crops ! of last year, caused our fannies to live more economically this year : than they otherwise would. They have gone in debt as little as possi ble remembering the lesson of last ] year. 1 hoy have made good crops this year and are realizing good pri I ees for what they have to sell. The result is that they will be in good condition to begin another year. \ Only an air Castle. ''A recent writer from Horry wri 1 ting for the Mullins Knterpriso says ' the people in the upper townships 1 of Horry are unjustly treated in the f matter of roads and bridges by the 1 authorities at Conway, and he bold- 1 ly advocates the policy or cutting oil 1 those townships and annexing them 11 to Marion, lie says Mullins treats the Ilorry people fairly in the way ( of trade, and that point and Marion 1 and Nichols are much more access! ' ble and convenient than Conway, 1 and he wants to be with us. We think this a splendid idea. A few years ago the Marion people wanted io orioc inc linlton s Mock and Woodberry township people with a bridge to go olT to Ucrry, but they , kicked on that and so did we and the , thing fell through and the bridge . was never built. Let these town'ships in Horry be annexed. We will welcome them in the home of s the Swamp Fox. Mullins will then 1 be the population and territorial 1 center of the county and it would be t a good idea to move the county seat 1 from Catfish Creek to 1 hat flourish- t ing and enterprising town. Tnc 1 people of Mullins arc broadntinded t and liberal, and are not daft on the e now county question as witness ] their impartial vote in the recent primary. Let the mutter bo agita- < ted; we will help you, brother Piatt, i in every way we can."?Dillon Her- \ aid. r The above article appeared in the t Dillon Herald of last week. Wo c would pass it unnoticed in our col umns but for the fact that it up- 1 pears that some misleading statements have been made aid a false j impression created. As the article states, iho source <, of the ideas therein expressed, is to j be traced to an article written by an J Horry man and published in the En terprisc (Mullins.) The same arti cle appeared in this paper and our readers are perhaps familiar with it Is the statement that the upper townships of this county are unjust . ly treated in the matter of roads * borne out^by the facts? That some of the roads in the upper townships 1 are in bad condition, we admit. This 1 ( statement may be truthfully made , in regard to any section of the coun- ' ty. In Marion county it is the same. < Wherever we turn in the rural dis tricts of the lower counties of the State, we find the roads in bad condition more or less. Hut we cannot i understand how anyone can claim j mat me upper townships of this J county have been unjustly treated. ( The records in the Supervisor soffice j will show that many costly bridges i have been built for these upper town- 1 ships, and piles of money spent in | this and other road work. The to ( tal spent in the upper part of the j county will doubtlesss amount to v much more than the total spent in 1 any Other section of thecor.nty. To i our rnii d there is no ground for any v alaim of unjust treatment in the matter of roads. ( It is no doubt a splendid idea to themindof the Marion editor to think of the annexation of several of j Horry's townships to Marion. But a more splendid and brilliant ideas than this have often failed to bo re- (l all zed. Horryites who would favor such a scheme uio very few and far ( between. It mitfht do for former Marionites to support. Thts signature in on every box of tho gonuino 0 Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tn biota n th* ramedy that cims n cah! lot one day tl '?

The longer our farmers plant to- (j laeeo, the better they understand w io\v to cultivate and cure the weed, \s they grow in oxporiencc, their p tobacco brings better prices. v The season of wot weather did not iomo quite early enough to inter- v 'ere with the curing of the crop. 1 Hut. in such weather farmers have d to 1)0 careful to keep the cured veed from getting too dam p.

The o\ily reason foi writing a few tough is about Con way in ttic 30 s ad 4'i's ib to try to draw out others ith better inemorics. My lir.st recollection is of Colonel unes Beaty who was then Clerk ol le Court, and the very head of ev rv enterprise for the upbuilding ol le town, a man that was beloved y all, a man lull of all good words, nd works. I think the man hi* had j help in the olll *e was 14. A. hoinpson, a thoroughly educated nd busiucos man. When Capt II. luck tirst started the lumber bm>i ess at the then Upper Mill, Mr. hoinpson went with nim, and my .. collection is that he died there. I must not forget to mention Maj. lolnies. He was one of tlieleading lerehaiils and a good all-round lei >*.v.
