Delegation us a good man to till the
ollice of County Supervisor pending
the suspension of Supervisor John
L. Hos'd. 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

(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.

A GROWING BUSINESS.

J. I> OI.IVLH MOVES INTO l AKOEK
QUARTERS WITH BUSINESS.
Growth of Small Husihcfts Enterprises
Here l? 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.
Magistrate's Court.
The court of Magistrate J . N
Jenrctte was ongaged here last
Thursday in the trial of the case of
the State vs. Wm. I). Rhuark, Geo.
F. Rliuark and (J. (I. Haseldon.
charged with shooting a cheeks
box placed by the river side at Rarnj
som's BlulT bv Mr. \V. H Mux, for

for wood taken by the steamer.
There was also a charge of disorderdlv
conduct, etc. W It iliwi.-t
was ttio prosecutor in the case ami
was represented by It. Wotl'ord
Wait, Escp\ The Defendants were
represented by II. II. Woodward,
Esqr. Wm. I). Ithuark ])leaded
guilty to the entire charge, but the
remaining defendants put in plea of
not guilty. The jury was composed
of George Carroll. D. F. Jordan, J.
Ti. Macklin, John Daniels, J. W
Wilson and W. VV Cannon. After
remaining out for some time they
cleared Mr. Haselden and disagreed
as to Ceo. 1?. Uhuark. A new
trial was ordered as to the last
named.
fillcrt?c Speaks at Lorls
The most harmonious sessions in
the history of the Mt. Tabor Sunday
school institute was held at Loris
on last Saturday. 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.

To the people of Conway and Horry
County.
After years of hard study and
patient investigation 1 have evolved
a system of education, adapted alike
to the backward and timid, and to
the bold and aspiring.
In this system only one branch is
taught at a time. Four branches are
taught without Text Hooks. Arithmetic,
Knglish Grammar, Algebra
and Latin. French Greek, Geometry
and Rhetoric require text books.
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
