THURSDAY MAY 2 1 IQ03 The Columbus News of last week said that if crime was an outcome ol prosperity, Columbus bade fair U be the most prosperous county in the State. Judging from the reports in the newspapers, the News is about right. ?>. With gcod seasons this year, the tobacco crop raised in Horry county will be immense and much larger thau the crop of any previous year. In passing through tlie county one sees new tobacco fields on every band. The election which is to be held to decide the question of what is called the "no fence" law for the county is just no.w agitating the minds of our farmers, and the interest in the matter will likely grow as the time for the election approaches and the lines are closer o raw u. We arc glad that the farmers ol Horry count\ are doing better and saving more money than -they have in the whole history of the county. The fact that they are going ahead improving and enlarging theii farms, diversifying their crops, and making progress in a hundred different ways is a sure sign thai, with the blessings of providence, the \ present state of things will contin[ \ UC' . r - \ It is a part of human nature, wc \ suppose, for people to give license to \ their tongues and lot them run tc \ the injury of others upon subjects, with which they arc but little concerned, to come down to the actual facts. There are few men who can 3BBV' abstain from intermeddling in the Itncinncc rif nr? nvithu- luun much business of their own they may have to attend to. f J Bv reference to a short article in \ another column, the farmers will I see that if they desire an Institute J . this year, they must got up a petiItion and get 15 farmers to sign it. We hope that they will decide tc have it, get up the petition and send it in at once. The farmer needs information and training in his avocation just as much as anybody, perhaps more. Whenever the trusts want any thing they begin working in the other direction. They wanted the Elkins bill passed at the last session I of Congress, and that is why 'the* seut those telegrams to the Sena' asking that it be killed. Thcv knew that would do the trick. That i; why, at this time, they are givinj , out the impression that they do no want Roosevelt nominated or elcc ted. They know the people wil give them what they do not want Watch the game The sad occurrence on our street last week which ushered a man int< eternity, perhaps unprepared to go and left a widow and fatherless in fant, is deplored by everybody Our little town has the rcputatio of being quiet anil not often th scene of any violence. It has bee many years since any occurrence ( the kind happened. It was then fore like a clap of thunder from clear sky. li is arid by many the whiskey is responsible for the who] affair. Hut wo prefer to leave tli blame in the matter to be settle , by a higher power than us. Wh at Conway needs just no more than anything else is the et tublishment of many new enlerprii es of the kind that will give en \ ploy men t to labor. We need laundry plant, ice plant, baken oil mill, cotton factory, furnitur factory. Any of these and man others we might mention would d ? well here. No better place could 1. { L found to invest capital in this waj M The establishment of these entci in prises is absolutely necessary to th * growth and progress of the towi Then why is it that our cnterprisin citizens, so interested and publl fat spirited, do not be up and doing i lib the matter? Some perseverance ht been shown in the establishment < a tobacco market, but .this is ik enough, for the town must buil along other lines as well. It cannc " v bo said that capital is lacking for wc have noticed that whenever the business men of the town become interested in anything and begin to tain it. plenty of means are soon forthcoming. We have not yet de elded that we will have these new enterprises, but-whenever we do so decide and back it (up by determination, those enterprises will come just as others have done. bttcksville News.

C. . ? - -4* Green Sea Views. In the last two issues of the Her \r.n some writers from different seeion of the county favor the "no ' -n.-,'" law. I beliovo it would be ' . .. t)'.?st thing we could have. In some sections rail timber is very I scarce. It is so here. 1 belcivo the cost of fencing is more than the cost of pasturing the stock. Some of my neighbors have been pasturing for the last three years, and they s say they like n much better than the woods. They find that cows give more and better milk, and be* ' lievc that hogs are easier raised and kept in pastures. wo imvn some tarmers in our secn tiou from Marion county who have been here from one to nine years. e They say the "no fence" law is a 11 good one and they like it better >f than they do the law we are now j. under. They did not come to this county to get away from the law ,l but came because they could buy L* three acres of land in Horry for le what they got for one in Marion. iC Why should we not have the law and increase the value of our lands? We have been or. the stool of do nothing long enough. Lets get to work, and not only get our county w up, but run it ahead before we stop If 'H. O.' of Eldorado will first help us in getting the stock law, we will help him with his railroad, He v must first tear down the fences so a he can build his road. . Mr Smith of Gideon seems to ,e think we have some had people up here, but he is mistaken Our peoy pie are as good as there is in the lo county. We will di\ideas long as >e we can, but the time of helping each . other with rail timber has run out. We are now going to help each other hy getting the " no fence" law, 10 and ask the county to help us i. * G. R.

A majority of the delegates were there and received certificates of honor. At about o'clock p. in., on Wednesday the parting words by volunteers were given. Many expressed their hearty appreciation of the Institute. Ml felt that it was good to be there, and a blessing to each to see and hear and shake the hand of Dr. and . rs. Ilainil.

Card of Thanks. 1 choose this method of trying to ox pros:: my thanks for the many kindnesses shown me by the people of Con wuv during my recent bereavment and sorrow Mrs. M.vrn Amrams. Opposed to any Change Editor, Hkuat.p:?The people of this section are solid wo think for the fence, but I wish to tell your readers what a Marion man says in regard to the stock law. Ho was present at the Anniversary recently held at Mt. Elvoy, and told me that some men would open past me gates and let stock into their crops, simply to cause a man to pay out a little money. He said he ate some meat for dinner which ii'iis vorv iFooel lint hn'mtr ncod tn much of it, that he would trade a good farm in Marion county for a poor farm in Horry, just to get away from tho stock law. If the stock law is a good thing, why do m> many run from Marion to I lorry? If we have the stock law, we will not raise our meat as a great many do i.o.v, l)iit will do like Marion, go to tlm nextcountv that has plenty of stock, Then Marion can not buy from us. In reply to Mr. Howell. 1 will say that it is cheaper to fence the farms than to fence the county line and ten thousand pastures also. We do not need the "no fence law so we can clear larger farms, for it is better to enrich a sn ail farm than to work so much land for a sorry crop. 1 believe in intensive farming more than extensive farming. Some fear the labor will leave us. It seems to me that there would be more hirelings as there is so many that has not land suilicicnt for a pasture. It is a sorry man who would vote for a law so he can force his neighbors to hire to him for a very little price and pay him in paper checks, which he must trade back for provisions and pay a starvation price. 1 am ready to join in with the Daisy people and Mr. Ludlam of Adrian and help to vote this meas ure down. (J. Tj. Stevens. DIED. Uenjamitt Cannon was born near Juniper Hay church in Horry county, S. C.. in 1822. At the age of 12 he moved to Mobile, Ala.
