Comk al6ng with the old soldiers and spend a pleasant day with them in Conway next Wednesday. * * # Wii are afraid it will turn out that tkc acreage of cotton lias not been reduced to the extent that was hoped for. * * * Tiie man who think* it is a crime to play cards but considers it all right to carry a pistol and shoot a man appears to be warpsided in his morality.?Wilmington Star. * * * Tub writer of an article in this issue names the day that he thinks would suit for a mas* meeting here on the subject of a new court house and jail. The paper is open to suggestions aud if a better day can be suggested those who are interested would be glad to know it. County pride should bo enough to convince any man of the need of these new buildings. Of course the county will have to sell bonds to raise the money, and some will try to find an objection in the very small tax that would result from the issuing of the bonds. No ono will mind this when they lean how small it will be. # * * Conway has not reached the zenith yet of her building boom; for cvory week or two there are items in the paper making uote of new structures in the business portion of the town or of pretty new cottages in the residence portion of the town. Tho enormous growth hero during the last few years is gratifying and so mauy signs pointing to a continuance of growth and prosperity is more gratifying still. There is no reason why the popula^ tiou and wealth of the town should not keep on increasing and doubling itself within the space of a few years. With such a large, prosperous and fertile country to tack it up Couway connot fail. All that is nesossary is energy, faith and public spirit on the part of her business men, * * # Tiik tobacco planters will do well to heed this year the advice so often give them to pay particular attention to the quality ef the weed they produce. Those who have heeded it iu the past have found that the only way to make much money out of the crop is to produce a line grade. When prices were so low a varp op *u ? J VI VIT V 111C producer of a fine grade of tobacco made money where hie neighbor fell in debt for his fertilizer. I" raising tobacco us in everything else the old maxim applies that J "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well." The first re. quisite to produce a fine grade tobacco is knowledge of the right way to handle, euro it, and grade it. The watchful farmer can soon learn all that he needs to know by experience * * * An attractive program has been arranged for May 10th and is published in full in another column. While the occasion is a reunion of ex-confederate soldiers, yet it is designed not only for there pleasure but for all who will come aud lend a hand. The sons, grand sons, daughters, grand-daughters and friends and relatives of the veterans are expected to be presents aud add to the occasion by their presence. A basket picnic appears on the program to take place at 2 o'clock and everybody is requested to bring well-filled baskets so that their will be plenty for the feast. The farmers will need a day off from the hurd labors of the season, and they cannot spend it in a better way. A large crowd is expected aud from indications and expression on all sides, there will be no disappointment in this respect. Oome along and help it out all you can. Noth- i ing is bigger than a big time. WMHI Farmers very busy. Somo are working out their young corn and cotton. Some still planting. Still some others arc transplanting tobacco. J. \V. Alford who planted cotton on the 7th inst. also E. D. Causey who planted on the lOtii., both have a good stand. Seasons are favorable here for tho later planted cotton. G. A. Causey has lately built a new tobacco barn and has his plants about set for growing. Others raisiug tobacco in this section are Messrs Hcrrin, and Young Bros. D. O. Causey, a young and progressive farmer of this section has a I new dwelling nearly completed on the tract of land he bought some months ago. This may be of interest to some young lady. Weddings ought to be cheap for there are plenty of young men and women. Notaries arc generally handy and willing to perform their part at very reasonable rates?often free. Those who have never had a wedding of their own don't know the real good in thein. Lot me say a few words about our public schools. Some may agree with mo while others, of course may difTcr. But let them differ or agree that is their right and privilege. We were not all made to look and think just alike even if we were made by the same Divine hands and of the same "stufl'.'' The common schools of our country are of course intended for the masses and good they are. While they wore first intended for the poor, but they still 1111 that function as much as ever and more by taking other functions also to perform. As the writer thinks they should be, would bo plenty of them within easy roach of every poor man who has children, and run very much on the same principles as the law now provides, and in addition to them, build as many as one graded school in each township and have it as a township school, apart from tho district school, with seperatc trustees and bo free to every pupil of school age in the Township in which it is located. 1 mean advanced pupils/ say from the 4th to 6th grades upwards. Then ask our legislators to pass a mild and compulsory education law, requiring that ail children between O 1 i ?? ? % ?. niu ugus 01 o siihi is or 11 years snail attend school at least twenty days each year, provided no child shall bo under this act, required to go over (2i) two and one half miles to roaoh school, Also that private school shall bo satisfactorily accepted as public school. Have the township graded school governed by township trustees spb ject to the county Iioard of Education the same as the district trustees are. If others have opinions to express let them do so for my ideas may not all be the best and if any one has better I'll gladly accept them. We all may gain by exchange of ideas as well as by exchange of goods. "FOOT." Hurley. The coniniunitv lws v<>im/l health at present. There is some few cases of small pox at this place. Mr. J. J.

Editor Herald:?No doubt many of your readers would like to hear through the columns cf the Herald from the Horry boys who are in college here, all seem to be doing wen. They should feel greatly enllnised to know that Horry has as many Ixrys or more in college hero than any other county in the State. We have eleven boys and several girls from Horry in college here. 1 don't think there is another county in the State that furnishes one-half that number. Five a"e attondinging Draughon's business college, which gives one o; the best courses in the world, The peop'o of Horry should be exceedingly proud of having so many enterprising young men here, but more so to know that one of the best colleges in the world is under the management of Prof. EI. R.Todd from our own county. What he has accomplished for the last few years should greatly inspire all of our boys to higher and nobler aims. Quite a number of people who are not personally acquainted with Horry have a very low estimate of it from various stories that have been told, but let others say what they please about our good old county, but still it is coming. Horry boys, let's wake up and use the golden ooportunitics that we have. Hot's prepare ourselves for doing better work. I wonder how many of our boys will try to improve their talents for the. next few years? We can all do better, so let us use our opportunities in the best way, and sooa our possibilities will bo brighter. Walter N, Gerrald. Columbia, 8. C.

Some of our farmers will begin to stir their corn ground this week. Corn is looking as well as can be expected, remembering tho recent cold and wet weather. Cotton is beginning to show itself and a plenty of it. I really fear some of our good fanners will be surprised whon they realize the true rejjort of acreage planted in 1905. Owing to a breakdown at B. F. Uarretson's mill, many were disappointed last Friday. The corn came in but no meal rolled out. This was the first Friday in along time that he failed to bo engaged in cracking com for the corn growing people of this and other sections. Chester Ward left last Monday for Miillint-' Ut~ ! ? v. >.

It has been some time siuoo 1 saw anything from the northern part of our county. As I soo it, there is more public building than thorn is money for. 1 do not object to anything that is beneficial to the county, but J am with the "candidate" as to the public affair. In regard to the bridge across the Waccamaw river, I think it would be unjust to tax the whole county for the bridge. If the people on the eastern side of the river would nut the thirteen hundred dollars they spend going to and from Conway, 011 | building the bridge, jt would be an asy matter to get the briijgo built. I notice that the farmer this year ' is divided his crops into tobacco, i-ujn. corn and potatoes, so as to meet the low prices if they should happen. J. W. V.
