In the Columbia State of last Thursday appeared a . uotice stating that the Governor had appointed Mr.Ilolt to the oflice as recommended by the "Legislators, and Mr. Holt on the following day received notice that he had been so appointed. The oath was mailed him to have made in due form and returned when his commission would be sent him, it was not expected that the Governor would turn down the recommendation of the Delegation, and after Mr. Holt had been recommended, his appointment was fully expected by his many friends. It is generally conceded by all that a wise choice was made in the selection of Mr. Holt to fill this ollioe and there is no doubt that he will till the position with credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of i,;0 ....-i . 11.. wio >i ivuvu uiiu mi; [juujtn; gciicrilllji RiiildirtK' (>P Waste Places. (The State.) In the October number of the Southern Workman, there is an article by Mr. Zaeh McGheo which is of particular interest to South Carolina. Mr. McChee writes upon topic of "Building up Waste Places in the South,'' and the most of his facts and figures relate to the development of Horry county, in this State. We selcjt a few of the most significant statements from his inter esting article, which, it may be added, is worth reading in its intirety. After an absence of ten years Mr. McGhee linds changes in the Horry community. He says: "It is not a change from threcstory buildings to sky-scrapers, from macadam roads to asphalt, not from cabs to trolley cars, nor yet from buggies to automobiles. It is rather a change from ox-carts to wagon teams, from rail fence to palings, from wooden shutters to g'ass windows, from log cabins with the front yard planted in cabbage or grown up in weeds, to two-story painted houses with flower gardens and terraced lawns, with lace curtains, and carpets, and silver, and books, bath rooms, cook 1 ng stoves, and doorknobs; a change from coarse, shapeless homespun frocks-inono piece-to that variety of feminine fixups, de scribable only by the words "stylish" and "in good taste;" a change from a languid, sleepy, slothful air to vim, vitality and the joy of life; but it is all a change fraught with a sure significance,' And the significance of the change is found in a concrete form?the form of dollars and cents. All this evidence of a now born spirit of accomplishment was certain to have its reflection in ttie increased property values in the community. "It is of record," says the writer, "that in 1895, the year of my formor visit, six acres of land sold for $13.90, or $2.33 an acre. Last year those same six acres sold for $1,660, or $276.66 an acre." Within ten years the value of the land per acre had advanced $274 33! What has been the secret of this astounding appreciation of land values in the community in question? It is not a boom. Mr.Mcuhee assures us. This land in 1895 was out in the county, and, says the writer, "It is omMn the county now; and it is used for farming purposes only." What has caused the rise of those farming lands in value? The answer may be found in a few words: /New blood" in the community and the consequently diversification of crops winch has been taught and practiced by the new comers. The "natives" of the com. munity, if we may so call them, had planted cotton since time out of memory. These nowcomery, these immigrants, set about teaching the "cottontots" some new trick. There is one item of strawberries which is sufficiently eloquent. Says the author of this story of agricultural renaissance: "I have before me the statements of r eighteen farmers of Horry county, given me on my recent trip there, or actual result in growing strawberries on this same lantt which had been not^ ting from nothing to ten dollars an E. J. Glanz on three acres M iftflde a net profit of $1,084.58; E. [ ' V Pettengor on one and a quarter I I made $420 not; J. C. king on B| half an acre made $110 net. And HI many others made similar profits" ill On October 18th is the last excurH sion to Vlyrtle Beach. Train leaves Conway at 8 o'clock, returns from the beach at 4- 30. 14 cc LOCAL ITEMS. ?

Best Proof of General Prospcrity of Town and CoUittvThe large store room on the corner of the King block, vacated last Monday by the Conway Hardware Company had been previously rented by J. D. Oliver the bicycle man, and he moves into his now (piartcrs this week. Mr, Oliver came to Conway only a few years ago and began business in the small shop situated on the corner of the public square and which has once been used as an olliee for the county auditor. lie began in a small way but soon found that his business demanded larger quarters. For the past few years every available store room in the town was constantly occupied, and he could find no place to which to move the business until the completion of the hardware store on Main street for Conway Hardware Company. IIis old quarters were too small and could not accommodate the repair department and leave room for the display of the wheels. He has done well however from the beginning and his sale of good wheel* has increased. This week he moves into a largo store as stated and here he will have room to display his wares and conduct the repair department of his business. The success he has had in this business and the success of others in other small enterprises snows better than anything else the business place Conway is getting to be, and the opportunity the town offers to new business men.

The Superintendent, W. A. Prince called the meeting to order at the appointed hour. After the schools were seated the Secretary, A. F, Prince called the schools in their order. Each school responded with songs and speeches which did credit to the Institute as well as to each school. The speeches were so touching until the * 4 /M * - ? eyes 01 parents weie seen 10 nil with tears while the little folks were speaking. We were glad to welcome Cane Branch class from the Bulah Insti tutc. That class performed with er-lit to their Institute. At the I se of the exercises the appointee, liov. J. II. Stanley, delivered the annual address in a very forceful manner, after which Kov. G. F. Stanley introduced Congressman J. E. Ellerbe, who was orator of the day. He spoke toabout fifteen hundred jieople and held the audience spell bound for one hour. This seemed to be the greatest speech of his life, in which he said "that ho thanked God for tho privilege of addressing the Horry people again on Horry soil on the subject of Sunday school, and that he did not know that such an institute was in existence in South Carolina." Tho speaker knew the importance of the young mind being properly trained and did not fail to leave a good impression. Dinner was announced and tho crowd retired to the grove where they enjoyed a bountiful repast. The afternoon was spent in transacting the business of the Ins titute.

I n this school students of both pexes are taught, the one, the graceful ease and charm of manner which should ever distinguish the Southern lady; the other, the refined courtesy which ever marks tin; Southern gentleman. Here, the pupils realize the grandeur of the century in which they live. They should be so trained. that their loyalty to their God, to their homes and their country, shall ho unquestioned, the highest ideals shall bo those of the gentleman, the patriot and scholar; in the solemn hush of the twilight, in after years with prattling children about their k,V?p?i^h&y shall reverently bale purchasingthat they 3b.
