COUNCIL AND HEALTH BOARD
NO BLAME ATTACHED TO THE
HOARD OF HEALTH.
f
Hoard of Health Met In March
and Recom in ended that Steps
be Taken at once, but none
have |IV?cii Taken yet
Much has been said of late in the
county papers and out about the
drainage of town and certain open
ditches situate hero and there in
Conway, a menace to the good
health of our citizens. It seems
too that an elTort has been made
to lay the blame upon the town
board of health and not upon the
town council or others entrusted
with the sanitary affairs of the town.
Jf those who are disposed to blatue
the board of health for lack of attention
to those matters, will read the
records of the board of health kept
since the new hoard went in ofliee,
they will be convinced that the
town board of health has done its
duty and that the matters above
referred to have time and time
again been brought to the attention
of the town ^puncil.
The last record made in the minute
book of the board of health is as
follows:
"The board of health met this a.
nn (Mar. 22nd, 190;>) at otlice of H.
H. Woodward and made the follow
ing recommendations to tlie town
council: (1) That si ops be taken at
once to clean ou?, drain and cover
that certain ditch running from
Kingston Hotel bark of Norton Drug
Co. (2) That certain other ditch
running along 4lh avenue and those
near the Burroughs < 1 railed School be
cleaned out and b : kept so during
the summer and that the turning
and throwing of s< we rage and other
tilth into said di <h s bo prohibited
(3)That the ordinaae.* in regard to
the keeping of garbage boxes or
barrels in i^ie business portion of
the low 11 IK- strictly enforce and
that the removal of garbage from
resiliences in the town be provided
for at once (4) That all ordinance
in relation to hogs and hog pens be
strictly enforced and the keeping of
hogs in pens be prohibited and
that the ordinance or ordinances be
strictly enforced "
Now from this it appears that in
March the board of health held a
i *!\ I 1 mAA !? ?/* ? twl n
?II1H cits MM ill ITU tw
theso matters which they deemed of
so much importance to the good
health of the town, and there is a
witness who will tostify that the
reccommendations were duly read
to the town authorities. This being
the case ignorance cannot be set up
as an excuse for failure to attend to
those ditches, neither can the lack
of funds be used as an excuse.
The duty of the council was laid
down in the month of March in
time for these things to bo attended
to before summer.
It is a notorious fact that the
ditch referred to in rear of Norton
Drug Co., has received no attention
at all, and attention to it was
deemed of so much importance by
the board of health, that they made
it a subject of special reference in
the recommendations.
BIG PLAINING MILL DRSTWOYED
BY FIRE.
Portion of Atlantic Const Lumber
Corporation's Immense Plant
Burned August the .list.
Georgetown, Aug. 111.?The big
planing mill of the Atlantic Coast
Lumber corporation was totally destroyed/by
fire this afternoon, together
with a considerable amount
of dressed lumber. The loss is estimated
at between $75,000 and $1)0,000
fully covered by insurance.
The perfect work of the magnificent
fire system in vogue in the plant
with the prompt and efficient assistance
of the city department, alone
saved the corporation and the town
from one of the most disastrous conflagrations
that has ever occurred
here. The work of the flames was
rapid and the heat so great that human
agencies seemed for a time un
able to cope witu it. me mm win

FURTHER REI'I.Y.
Sonic Enrtlicr Reason* arc Given
l>y Mr. Johnson Against I>ispensarlcs.
Editor Herald:?In my communication
of the 17th I referred to Mr.
Robert's article of the l()th It was
not my desire to be drawn into a
controversy with any one.
In the issue of August 31st , he
puts medown as one that jumpped on
him with olovcs oil, and a tfnat on
the bull's horn. It seems from bis
communication that the emits were
tickling hint so that his mind was
not very wellcotnp >s<-d when he last
wrote, for in one sentence he does
not favor tin1 ilispens try nor never
has, and then jjocs on to a^ree in its
favor, un'ess we e.oi j^et soinulhi:i<,'
better. We are trying to eive something
better.
Now, prohibition is better my
friend, let's try it a while. We finally
decided that he favors the 111 thy
lucre coming from it, and this is the
only point 1 have heard any of its
friends ar^ue.
Now, 1 hardly think if any one
who looks at that feature of the dispensary
will look around them and
sec what it costs, they would not favor
it any longer. Surely no fair
minded man is so scllish as to be
...:i 1: r ? . i. ? "?
wining oic poor cniiuren to hi'
deprived of $10,000 to $f>0,000 dollars
worth of necessities that a few
dollars may eome into the treasury
to educato our ehildron on? When
we look at tins new made graves of
men and even boys near our doors
that we know is the direet result of
this traflic. Can we all'ord to pay
the price for the few dollars we got?
1 cannot.
The free school system is a good
thing, and the education of our chil(
dren is a sacred thine. Hut 1 do
not favor any scheme to lengthen
, them, if that scheme is detrimental
to the morals and religious institutions
of our country, and we all agiree
, that the sale and use of whiskey is.
The poorest children usually argued
for, are not the ones that re
ceive the benefit of the free school
(as a rule.) Many of them cannot
I get books and other necessities to
* enable them to attend school, on acf
count of drink.
There arc plenty of men whocan't
* half feed or clothe their children,
i who can buy f>0 cents or $1.00 worth
* of whiskey every week, and we, like
the Chief I'riests, who had coveC
minted with Judas to betray Jesus.
. When Judas came confessing his
, sins, they said: "What is that to
11 a V "
When wo sec that this evil is
carrying young men and boys to destruction,
can we stand idly by and
not attempt to rescue them from it,
because a few dollars comes our way
from it?
The Chief Priests, though wicked
'Mi >>igh to crucify Christ were not
?'ody to take the thirty pieces of
> silver that he threw down, the price
* of blood, and put it into the trcas>
ury.
Are we the citizens of Horry coun1
ty willing to take the price of blood
- and educate our children on it? Cod
1 forbid that we should continue to do
1 such a thing.

DAY SEPTEMBER
THE ARMY WORM.
MAS ATTACKED COTTON IN 1 11
TI.E RIVER SWAMP.
Tlic Damage Is Much Greater
Than tlic Storm of last
Year and tlic Eutl
Is Not Yet.
The army worms have come well
drilled bv a destructive appetite
winch has caused the greatest disaster
to Little River Swamp cotton
yet known. It is much worse on
the cotton than the storm of Sept.
11th, 11104. It was estimated then
that one-third of that crop was lost.
We cannot as yet estimate the dam
ago to the present crop, but can
truthfully say that the greater part
of the bolls, forms, and blossoms are
now wasted and severed from the
stalk.
This little pest has almost completed
its work for the season.
The worms came to the fields three
or four days ago and have now consumed
all of the leaves. They wore
today devouring the boll. The earth
is pretty well covered with the bowed
creatures and it seems perilous to
an ill man to enter the field with
them.
We believe it the greatest, devastation
that has ever yet visited the
cotton fields in auy part of the South,
rf they keep up their work three
days ihore at the same rate they
have today there will oc only the
open cotton remaining in the field.
Do you think tliev will eat it?
It.
CI H5I: OI: WIIISKTV.
Intcrcstinit Article I rom llolmcs
of Texas
Kditor Herald: ? As so many have
had something to say about whiskey,
Mr. Kditor, can I write a short let
tor on the suhjeet asking a few questions?
1 lived in good old Horry for fifteen
years, and I know the most <?f
her old citizens It is wondorfulh
strange to me that sensible people
will drink whiskey. 1 suppose that
nine tenths of Horry people are called
christians and are trying to lead
souls to Christ and a good part of
them pray in public and sit in the
ainrii corner and shout amen during
:v big mooting.
Yes, you men who have voted for
whiskey to be sold in your county,
you call yourselves christians. Now,
let me tell you candidly, it is just aseasy
for you to pick up your court
house and put it. in Marion county
us it i< to lead souls to Christ with
whiskey. Hut it is an easy job to
load them to I lell-lire and damnation
with your whiskey.
Do you want your children, your
neighbors all to go to Hell? If so,
vote for whiskev. Do you want a
little Hell raised in someof the homes
of Horry? If so, vote for whiskey.
Some of the fellows who are in favor
of having whiskey sold in Horry
have said at some time or other that
you were followers of the Ulesscd
Saviour. If you are, and can find
in the Hible where the Saviour drank
or voted for whiskey, then go ahead.
If you can't find it, then stop.
You say you love your wives and
sweethearts, if so, prove it by voting
its they want you to. If they sa>
vote for whiskey or a Hell in their
homes go ahead and do it. Hut they
will not say so.
Now 1 ask you for God's sake and
for the sake of the coming generation,
don't put whiskey in your
county. Have a little self respect
for others and for the coming generation
and ask your Legislature tc
pass an act as Texas has done that
any one in the State who sells 01
causes to be sold intoxicating drinks
to persons living in prohibition counties
shall be lined not less than $50.00
or 150 days in jail and not ovei
$100.00 and 90 days in jail, That is
the kind of a law to have.
Now I want to show you what
whiskey will do. 1 used to drink a
i good deal when I lived at Galivants
Ferry, Cool Spring, Grantsvillc and
Snow Ilili. When I could not get
whiskey, I drank hard cider and 1
oertainly did get drunk. Hut I have
not taken a social glass in nineteen
? years. Why? Because whiskey has
never been sold in the towns where
I lived, and if I could vote in Horry
or any other county on the sale ol
whiskey, I would vote against it.
You good folks want to go tc
Heaven, hut I am here to tell you,
there are no drunkards in Heaven
but according to the Bible some ol
, them are in Hell. There is no excuse
whatever for a man to drink whis
key, not one bit. f have heard il
said by men, that they could drinli
; whiskey and they could let it alone
but I have never seen one do it.
Now you whiskey voters, remem
. ber that when you vote for whiskery
you vote for death, Hell and destruc
| tion in your county.
Hot every man who is twenty-one
vote against it and do their be^t t<
keep it of out old Horry. As ever

YOUNG I.Al>Y SUICIDES.
Sad Cane of Wltitcvillc (jirl at Dun
Saturday.
Dunn, August 28. ? Miss Emma
Scllars, of Whitcvlllo, died at the
boarding houso of Mr. J. W. Langley
hero Saturday night at 7 o'clock as
the results of an overdose of laudanum
which she took the same morning.
The drug was evidently taken
with suicidal intent.
The case was a rather peculiar one.
About a week ago Miss Rebecca
Jackson, of Dillon, S C., came here
to meet her lover, Mr. A Hinson, of
Horry county, South Carolina, who
was in tho picture business. A few
days later Miss Emma Sellars, of
Whiteville, come to meet her lover,
Mr. I J. Floyd, who seems to be in tho
same business and also from the
same county. The young men arrived
orm day and found Mr. P. S.
.Jackson, father of Miss Jackson, in
town, and they canvassed in other
quarters. Yesterday Miss Sellars
seemed to be in trouble, and Saturday
morninir about 3 o'clock took a
dose of laudanum.
Miss Jackson s;rys she came here
to meet and marry Mr. Hinson
and persuaded her father to go back
home, saying that if Mr Hinson failed
to come Monday or Tuesday, as
promised, and mary her, she would
return home. Miss Jackson is about
' 10 years old.
Miss Jackson seems to be confident
her lover, will be here and make her
! his bride She does rmt wnnm
| know much of Miss Sellars.?The
1 Morning Star, Wilmington, N. C.
The Faycttovillo Observer gives
the following further particulars of
tho suicide of Mias Emma Sellars,
which was recounted in the Times
recently.
Saturday the town of Dunn was
right much excited over a young woman
taking laudanum and killing
herself. It is said a few days ago
two young men and two young women
went to Dunn and put up at Mr.
S.' W Langley's boarding house.
The men were Mr A. Tlinson and
his associate, Mr. B. W. Floyd from
South Carolina. The girls were
Miss Rebecca Jackson, from Dillon,
, and Miss Emma Sellars from Whiteville,
N.*0. The two men were iu
tho picture business and went off to
work this section.
' Saturday morning before day Mias
1 Sobers took laudanum and the doctor
revived tier and she was consid
ored out of danger, but about 5
o'clock she got the second dose of
r something and died about 8 p. m.
| Iler brother was telegraphed for
and arrived Saturday night and took
the body to Whitevllle. Miss Jackson
remained, and her lover. Mr.
Hiuson, returned in the night and
was assestep, Sunday morning a
. messenger was sent to Lillington
i for the license and about 1 o'clock
> Rev. M. Snipes married them. Miss
Jackson's father came today and will
take them back to Dillon,
