Vatarta atthe Putt Oflee At Conway, N. C., at 8?coft(l-claita Mattar THURSDAY MAY 7th IQ03 The cool weather has been very much against cotton that was plant ed early. We understand that some farmers will have to plow up and plant again, the first seed planted having failed to germinate. Wshave the saw mills to use the large pine and cypress timber of the county, but there is no market for the large amount of the other woods, with which our forests abound. To furnish a market for the last we need a large furniture factory at Conway. If the town cannot afford a lire department, it could at least pass an ordinance requiring an inspection of all buildings in order to remove dangerous heating appliances, as is done by the town authorities of'Salctn, N. C. There is such an ordinance there, and the town had but one dwelling burned in 100 years, though -it has a population oi luetwcon iuuu anu ;>uuu people. WiTil the exception of our saw mills, wc have here no 'manufactur ing establishments of much consequence. We*are sorry that this is afact.'oThe real reason for backwardness in the establishment of manufacturing enterprises must be lack of enterprise on the part of those who have the capital. Lack of capital is not the cause. There is and there lias been plenty of capital here, and help from outside could have been secured, and could bo secured now. Enterprise is all that is needed. Tu* business men of Conway are more united than ever in the deter raination to work together to build hero as strong a tobacco market as there is in Eastern Carolina, judg iug from expressions that we have I heard^lately. This is the proper spirit to show, and it is the only spirit that can accomplish anything in this direction. Some an* norfWt ly willing to let the tobacco market alone, that is, let it have its own course of growth without any cf forts to make it grow faster. This will not do. No industry must be let alone in this way, it must be helped along. Th? truth about Conway. w< think, was well expressed in a paagrapk, contained in a letter recei\ ed by us from a friend, a few day> 1 ago. who now resides in a different section of the State. The paragraph ! road as follows: "There is no calcu- 1 lating when Conway will reach her ' growth. It is a matter of surprise. There is no town iu the State that is making anything like the progress which she is miking." It is certainly true that we cannot calculate when the town will reach her growth. When a town has been a long time getting "a move on", but at labt starts off, it generally keeps it up indefinitely. The writer of the paragraph mentioned is well acquainted with the other towns of ' the State, and knows what he is saying when he makes the assertion that no other town in the State is i making the progress that Conway is making. We fully believe what he says. The rapid growth of Conway is more of a surprise to outsid ers than it is to our citizens. Not only the town, but the county, is a | great place for any capital that inay i be seeking an opportunity for in- ' vestment. Items From Murrells Inlet. 1 The continued cold weather is < making cotton look very badly. i Ths freshet in the river lias made \ it impossible for the rice planters 1 to get any rice planted during April. ( Mrs Cornell and daughter re- < turned to Georgetown last week < after spending some days on the ( creek visiting friends. i Misses Florence and Leila Rabon | of Burcol spent last Tuesday in our | neighborhood. We are glad to see the corres- > pondents taking so much interest | in the "do fence" law. As wo are ? In Georgetown will not discuss the , question at this writing. M.

The chain gang has been doing some very good work here. A good many of our people attend ed the anniversary at Ml. Klvey on last Saturday. \V. M llarrelson of Bex passed here on last Sunday. B.

Todd were at Bound Swamp on the ilOth of last month. Mr. Vereen being a member of tin1 Board of Control), was up looking after the Dispensary and was detained some length of timcon account of a very siek horse. Mr. Parker who writes from Causey, S. C., is a friend to llorry county and wants help to fight the "no fence" la v. Daisy will do that very tiling. 1 think the saint, the sinner, the soldier and the Carters will all do all the.y can ugainst it. B. L. C. ? ? O i lildorndo Items.

Todd had a chicken hatched with only one log and two toes which were grown together. The other foot was under tlie wing and no leg at all. L M. and W II. Stevens went to Conway the first of last week on bus iness. We would like for the people of Horry to be ready to vote against the "no fence" law and thus do'the best thing for the county. Some one wants a railroad to run from Conway to Marion We want one to run from Little River to San ford or soino point on the A. C. L. near there. This would be a great help to us. B. C. Wampee Items. i The refreshing showers of last week put the tobacco farmers on a push. They are much encouraged with their prospects. The lightning roil agents are selling many rods in this section. ] Miss Marie Livingston, after fin ishing her school at IJoniewood, returned home on Monday. Miss Laurte Gore of Worthams visited here last week. , J. 13. and Parker Gabon and sisters of Burcol, were visitors at Mrs. Livingston's last week. We are pleaded to see M J. Ward out after being confined to his bed i for several days. Mrs. 11. P. Livingston is spending some days this week with her inva- i lid sister, Mrs. K. I). Richardson. Willie Livingston of the Hand ! section was here Sunday. Wishing the Herai.ii and tobacco 1 farmers much success.

May Heaven's blessings | rest upon tliwm and their pastors! 1 may never be permitted to see them again in this life but I expect to meet many of them at His right ha nd. I presume the most of you know that Pelzor is a mill town of some six or eight thousand inhabitants. ' 1 was agreeably surprised to lind milling people of this in the main contented and happy. After visi- 1 ting about half the homes in town . 1 concluded that they would compare favorably with the farming class of Hoi ry county. Women make from 50c to $1.25 per day. They are.paid every two ' weeks. Women can make as much is the men except the "bosses " T. B. Reynolds. Pelzor, S. CPee Dee Union.

A collection to be equally divided < between Home and State Missions was taken up amounting to $4.20. We would say to those churches not represented that they missed one of the best sessions that has ever been held. 1). H, Jordan, C. H. Todd, Moderator. Clerk. Gideon Opposed. Kditor Hkrai.d:?Please allow space for my views on the "no fence" law. With as much woods land as there is in Horry, I do not think we need it. At least not untill one half of the county is cleared. a v ..c >... i i.-w *..* i\?n^ uo VII VP OVV/VPH lli.lt) UVUI' I lei I* of the land to feed on, I think it is cheaper than to shut them up. Inan article signed^ "B. G. K." the writer said there were farmers in his section who did not have timber to fence their farms, if their fen cos were to get destroyed by fire. 1 know men in the same condition, but they can get it from some of their neighbors. He knew one man that had to haul timber eight miles to keep up his fence. It must be a bad man* or lie could get timber fiom his neighbors without goi ig eight miles to find a friend. The law keeps no one from clearing his fence rows or from killing 1 poor hogs and buying better stock. I want all who write to sign their names so we will know them NV. F. Smith. Warn pee. 'j ICditor 11 Kit vi.n:? We want the stock law here and confidently look t for it soon. Mercenary motives are t too numerous just now. Let us p consider Horry's interest first.

Butler was born )n Dee. 13th, 1831, and passed into cj Lhe home above on March 28th, 1903. She was converted and united lersclf with the church when quite I'oung and remained faithful until ?, loath. D She was married to J. M Butler )n Feb. 17th, 1852, and was an afTec- S1 Lionate wife, a kind mother and Hl grandmother, ar.d a true friend. She was a sufferer for a long time jefore her death, but always seemed dieerful, even in her last moments She was a devoted Christian and ippeared to live by the golden rule. In her death our church has lost >nc of its most faithful members whose place will be hard to fill. While she is greatly missed by all, 3 we can be comforted, for she is not lead, only gone on before. May the I Lord help us to follow in her steps. [ uui jjuvinj,' uranuaugnter. Rev. W. L. Tart.

He serv d numerous churches in boHi North ind South Carolina. Brother Tart was a man of deep >iety and firm convictions, and hi.leatli is felt keenly by those who | mew him best.
