Hard 1 S I 1 a * .W, yours 11 HI lilSI \ til I W.IS, IO.IOIIOS one the folly of making bignecounts' Some one remarked a fow days ago, in speaking of tin* new stores in Conway, already started or in contemplation, that progress along this lino was good, unless the number of stores estal>lished hero, should in a year or two, exceed the capacity of the town as a trade and business center. Any doubts that may exist in anyone's mind about the future of Conway in this regard, are without any foundation The town is in the center of a 1 rgo and rapidly developing country. There is plenty of trade here now. New stores will bring more?more in every increasing proportion. We may all rest assured that Conway will never outstrip herself. There's plenty of room. The scarcity of em'-, and chickens to supply the demand this year, and the high price of both throughout almost the entire year, has caused many of our farmers, no doubt, to see that the raising of eggs and chickens can be made a profitable > idustry. The ra sing of poultry is an important industry throughout 1 lorry County already, considering the large amount of eggs shipped from this and other points. Hut the fact is, that our farmers have never pushed this part of their business to the extent that they might. In some states of the I nion, there ore farmers who have tried it on a large scale, and they have proved that there is money in it. We beleive that our farmers could also succeed at it, and add hundreds of dollars to their annual income.

Concerning the Orphans. Greenwood, S. C., Nov 17,1902. Dear Bro. Si'ivey: Your letter just received. Enclosed I send receipt The old Waccamaw is coming up nobly this year. She has done splendid. A. T. Jamison, SuptThe above letter was received a few days ago in reply to contributions sent the Conic Maxwell Orphanage from the VVaccamaw Bap tist, Association. Will not this encourage us to do more? There arc about five thou and orphans in our State and only about five hundred of them being cared for by the orphanages of the State. Is not our help needed? In our Sunday School and church at Conway we have a box called "the birthday offering box" and as our birthdays come, wo put as many pennies in the box as we are years of age for the benefit of the orphanage. Wo find that it adds muc hto our collections. If every church member and Sunday School scholar in our Association would give to the Orphanage at each birth day one penny for each year they arc of age, the Wacca maw Baptist Association would pay for the support of our Orphanage over seventeen hundred dollars each year. Will you ftot adopt this plan in your Sunday Schools? Yours very truly, J. C. Simvbv. People who use'Mivei pills"ought to try the well known Hamon's Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets.

The farmers are iringing the weed in later this sou on ?hun we ever knew them to do icfore.

YVc understand that around Mario w Hostolllec, whore there were >11 ly eighteen acres of tobueeo planted this year, there will be one hun Ired and eight next. The increase is very nearly this great- in all sections of Horry where tobacco was not generally planted heretofore. There arc so inan^ inquiring as to the cost of building tobacco bains that a rough estimate may help sonic. This we give below: Cutting poles, $2.00. Hauling poles, 2.00. Healing poles, 4.00. liaising barn, cost of dinner for eight men, 2.00, Uoof, framing and door, 1.50. Hoards and nails for rool, 5.00. Daubing, 8.00. Total. $10.50. Now take the man who will do his own work, except the raising of the barn, and the cost is scarcely anything outside of his labor. Of course this barn has no sheds? lomothing that is not needed for curing tobacco unless the curer wants shade under whi vh to rest and sleep. ^ We want to see alljof Horry's farmers awake to the opport unity that is now o lie red them and "come out of the wilderness.' 0.
