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.

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 ?

question at this writing.

ing the itinerant work.

that Pelzor is a mill town of some

Kditor Hkrai.d:?Please allow
space for my views on the "no

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

Mrs. Elizabeth E. Butler was born

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. [
