Nearly Every Week Sonic New (

Rapidly Cirowin>c '
List. c
During tlie past few weeks, the .
force at the large store of Hal L. ^
I luck Co., have been busy rearrangein^
the store, and fitting up in the
new addition a complete line of
handsome modern furniture. 1
The new store attached to the lar- N
ger and older building measures viO '
x 80 feet making a large store in
itself. An elevator has been constructed
in the back end connecting
with a large floor space upstairs in
the older building measuring do x 80
feet and this is used in connection
with thfl furniture store making room
to hold an immense stock . ^
At. this store can be found all class- t
es and kinds of furniture from the
cheapcsfpoplar bureau or bedstead j
up to the linest quartered oak and
other line cabinet woods, and almost |
any thing that acustomer would want
in the lino of house furnishings,
(foods are now in stock there which
only a few years ago could not be (
found in Conway ? the merchants
found no sale for them and hence
could not carry them as dead stock
on their shelves. Just a short time 1
before a reporter for the Hkuai.d 1
called at this new store, a fine trunk
had been sold to a customer at $12 50, *
Five or six years ago, such an arti- u
cle not carried ir. Conway and when ^
an article of this price was wanted
ii was neupssary 10 orucr 11 irom v
somewhere else. *
The furniture store is in charge of *
J. VV. Hollowell of North Carolina, a 1
furniture man of experience and a
ability.
We cannot better describe the im- ^
provements made on the Buck cor- ^
nor than by clipping a notice that s
appeared in print concerning it last '
winter, only this notice was written '
before the addition of the furniture !

progress is her demand for better s

MVKTI.r: BEACH.
iood Things Said of it. But a
Church Needed.
For a few weeks past I have had a
nost pleasant stay at Myrtle Beach,
dy object in going was not to seek
or pleasure but health. Both are to
)e found there. The delightful breeze
l 11 cl sea-bathing makes one forget to
>e tired.
It was my lirst experience on the
:oast, therefore 1 cannot compare
his with other places; but I cannot
,hink bow nature could have done
nore towards making Myrtle Beach
i desirable home for the summer.
Man too has done much towards
leuutifviui/ the nlaoe. Added to t he
- ?/ o - i " "
>oauty of the ocean, the banks of
now-white sand, the shell covered
>each, the soft moonlight and sparking
sunlight, is a beautiful hotel
abiding fitted up with every eonvenence.
Those who wish for gayety,
coined to find it, judging from the
ound of dancing which nightly aeouipanied
the music of violin and
>iano, in a large and substantial
tavilion built for the purpose. There
s also a pool room and bowling* ally
whico seemed to be quite popuir.
Besides the hotel, the whole place
s dotted over with pretty little
irhite cottages in any of which the
isitor is apt to find kind, pleasant
eople reaily to welcome one to their
ammocks and easy chairs.
Although so much has been doi.e
n Myrtle Beach for the pleasure and
omfort of the people, it seems that
heir spiaitual welfare has so far
teen overlooked. In vain did I look
round for either church or school
milding.
We understand that this property
5 owned by Messrs. Burroughs &
lollins. We heard these gentlemen
poken of in the highest terms and
ould not but wonder that such men
ad so far over looked this most imortant
of all matters. Wonder if
hey will take our little hint as a relinder.
It will be sad indeed for
he young people of Myrtle Beach to
ic taught the object lesson which is
ofore them, that a dancing hall is
lore of a necessity than a church or
f.linnl hnnsn. 1 sim'nrnl v wiul-i
no or the other of these buildings
o be built immediately. In either
f them a Sunday School could be
tarted, which is the best stepping
tone towards a church.
A little organ or mclodion will be
necessity. I could wish that this
o put in charge of Mrs. Jim San
ers. She will make an ideal organ it
for a Sunday School, because she
ives music and because all the young
icople, (as well as the old) love her.
'here is nothing like good music and
popular organist to attract and
old a Sunday School together.
We arc sure that the Rev. Mr. Me- |
'arland would be greatly encouraged i
hould he be called on to organize
uch a Sunday school and I am sure
hat he will give it all the help in his
tower.
Should it bo my good fortune to
isit Myrtle Reach again, I sinccrey
hope that I may attend service at
rlyrtie Beach church, take part in
flyrtle Beach Sunday School and enr?y
the music furnished by Mrs J J.
landers, organist. A Visitor.

I lie People of Conway Meet at
Oie Presbyterian Cliurcli lo
Say farewell to Itoloved
Minister.
There wore no services at the
Baptist ami Methodist churches last
Sunday evening, the services at
these churches having been called in
on account of farewell services in
honor of the Uev. C. K. Robertson,
the retirintr pastor of the I'resbv
tcrian Ohurch.
The Rev. Mr. Robert son came here
about four years ago as pastor of
the Kingston Presbyterian church
and during that time he has won
not only the undivided love of his
own congregation but the love ai d
respect of the other denominations
in the town. When it was known
that hi? had decided to leave and
enter new fields of labor in Indian
Territory, it struck the entire community
with sadness and regret.
The exorcises last Sunday evening
show the good feeling and lasting
regard that he has won .
The Rev. J. L. Shinn, pastor of
the Haptist church acted as Master
of Ceremonies, and he very ably conducted
the exercises, making a good
speech and cxplaiding the object of
the meeting.
'idie first speaker was the Rev. W.
L. Wait of the Methodist church who
spoke in behalf or the Methodists
and Baptists of the town showing
that they are uuited in the common
cause. He was followed by Prof.
Kennedy who spoke for the Presbyterian
congregation, Col. C. P.
Quattlcbaum for the Haptist church,
Hon. Bobt. B. Scarborough and 11.
H. Woodward Esqr., on the part of
the Methodists, and then Dr J. S.
Dusenbury presented to Mr. Robertson
the sum of $7*1.25 which he told
him had been contributed to him
not by any particular denomination,
but by all the denominations, and
numbers of other people who belonged
to no church at all. Mr.
Robertson then made a short but
very feeling response.
After the services, before he left
the further sum ol $50.75 was contributed,
making a total of $125.00
which was eontriuted by his friends
who had not already subscribed.
11 o left tho tirstof this week for
his new field of labor followed by
the kind wishes of hosts of friends,
HOTTI.ING WORKS MOVED.
Finds That increased Bnslnes Demands
More Room.
About the first of the present
year, Mr. It. A. Baker began a small
bottling works in a small room on
Ith avenue. lie soon found that his
business was rapidly increasing and
that it would be necessary to find
larger and more convenient quarters
Bailing to secure a place near the
river, he finally made arrangements
with A W. Jenkins & Son to put up |
a building 1(5x40 feet on the back of
their lot near the livery stables.
The new building is amply large to
accommodate the greatly increased
business of Mr. Baker and lie moved
his machinery into it the first of this
week. The bottling works is a fair
example of the success new enterprises
will find here.
Telephones in Brunswick.
It is stated that a telephone line
from Soithport to Wilmington
through Bock woods Bolly Shallotte
townships is a possibility of the near
future and that several Wilmington
promoters are interested. The pro-,

Not only the Warehouse people,
but the whole town of Conway as
well were gratified to sec t he liberal
patronage given our tobacco market
The market (loser ves the full support
of all the I lorry planters for it
is one of the best markets in the
business, judging from the prices
paid, the liberal spirit displayed
by the buyer for the large companies
and the continuous picking and bogding
for "just a little more" on each
pile by able warehouse man, capt.
Coles. No one can do better than
at Conway when tobacco is what they
have to sell.
If prices continue asgood through
out this season as they were on the
25th, Planters who made tobacco
this year will be in the swim.
