I'odtOlflco at Conway, S. O., a* Sernad clan* Matter. THURSDAY March 26th 1Q03 The erection of brick buildings here was a new thing only a few years-ago, The time is not far distant when several of our streets will be lined on each side with substantial brick structures. The recent rains have retarded the farmers in some sections of the county from their Spring work, but we hope that it will not discourage them. The outlook for a good year I or our farmers seems to us to be good. As the town grows in population, and new enterprises are established, wo sec no reason whv it should not improve in other wavs. Electric lights and a fire department should come In somewhere. " Wk wunt to see some change made in the laws regarding the worl; ng and maintaining of the public roads. No plan can bo formed that will not be expensive, provided it reaches the end needed, but the roads-must be kept in better condition than they are at the present time, or they will be a drawback to the progress of the county forever. Conway wants the assistance of all the farmers' of the county 5n her efforts to bud} hero the best market for leaf tobacco in the State. The results attained since the establishment of the market a few )ears ago, have beeu wonderful, but this is the age of progression, and our tobacco market has not yet reached its limit in growth. We see what has been done and is being done at towns .having far less advantages than our own, we know that the possibilities are not only equal but greater here than at those places. The Conway market is surrounded by a large territory of good tobacco lands. What market can boast of more fertile or more extended acres? The fanners in soino large section'of the county are just now learnin the industry. We predict that uoi many years will pass away befor. j the amount of tobacco raised in this , county will bejmore than doubled. wc wiltu knwn ' ' 4 .. _ uvic me ui?hi/ mar kg t wo cau build. It is to the advantage of our farmers to have a good market at their doors, a market in which they will have the utmost confidence Hy joining with the business men of Conway they can help to build here just such a market. Lay down the rule that Horry tobacco must be sold at an Horry market, and by no means depart from this rule. This is the way to build the market. NlxonvPlc Dots. We have been having very tine planting weather for some time past, we have been favored with nice showers for the past few days, and .Uv .uiiuoii arc putting in their corn as fust us possible. Those contemplating planting tobacco are getting ready for it. Plants are very forward. We have seen them large enough to transplant and I guess they will begin b.y the first week in April if the weather is suitable. It appears that the cotton crop will be largely increased this year over last, judgiug from the quantity of fertilizers coming up the river. Rev. G. W. Gat lin met his regular appointment at Salem on Sun day and preached an interesting sermon The Baptist Union will convene atVUljr Swamp on next Friday ?and clone on Sunday. The election for J udge of Probate passed off very quiet last week and I nomebody got loft. i We presume the election on the stock law will be quite interesting i as the people seem to be very much i devided on the subject. Time will I tell the tale. t The health of the community is generally good at present. Items from Eldorado.

Gore has a fine prospect of tobacco plants. Me will soon transplant. Blue Cap. Justice items. Some of our farmer- have corn four blades high. Our little merchant is in his big store. Some said that he sold so cheap, he was bought out as fast as ho could put the goods in. Some one keeps writing about the no fence law. We have that already we need the stock law next to make us shut up the old hay rakes and pine rooters. Some one speaks of the milk they get in the summer. Worm water is better than the blue stufT called milk from a woods cow. If wc can not have the stock law, I wish there was a law passed making every man who votes against it help fix up the old fences in his community. If they like to repair old fences so well that they can't vote it olT, I want them to get plenty of it 1 think every man with common sense will vote for it, at least all who have as good sense as our stock law men have. Horry Friend. Princevllle Dots. Otho Ludlum has six acres of corn four leaves high. Most of our farmers are done planting corn and are busy putting out tobacco fertilizer. 1*. M.

Farmers are busy preparing their lands for a largo crop of cotton and tobacco. Tobacco plants are looking well. They arc about two weeks earlier than usual. We would like to see an up to date court house and jail at Conway, but our people, some of them, are groaning under an 18 mill levy with the probability that the state levy ill bo raised next year. We are unwilling to make the load any hca vier at this time. WI f i i men; is uoi, mucn division among our people in regard to the stock law as most of os arc opposed to any change.

Please ullow space to speak of a busy and progressive community. Three years ago the citisens saw the need of a public school here, and through the energy and persever once of Harrelson Alford Sr., and others, they have it complete?a model for the township. The school has been short each year as a consequence of the public funds being used in the construction of the house. On Sunday March 22nd, thero was a gathering at the school house to organize a Sunday school. J. W Alford was elected Superintendent and Win, 11. Morrow, Sec. A general election of oflicors will take place as soon as the literature arrives. There was a pound party at the residence of E. 1) Caasey, Sr., to celebrate the old man's 8Gth anniversary.
