My experience at Conway suggests a series of Films caught by a kodak As 1 travel to my destination via Atlantic Coast Line a picture appears of a level country, great flat stretches of open fields, whence has has been harvested, or peas and corn gathered, often cotton patches with 1 hn fiiiiil aiiI. nnt Li./...... ... . ?, ....... vfuu |mi i, oiiu? v wiiiic 1(1 lis top crop. But to toy eye the most interesting are the vast swamps, gigantic in forests primeval, evpresses big as those Noah built the ar* of, huge hickories, oaks, elms, poplars and pines. Here are some personal Films that appeal to the sympathetic sense,? a young woman whose luminous dark eyes have a pyschic power, and glow % with the light and happiness behind them, To the right and left of her are Films of girls, tall, strong, as sured, blythe of spirit, bonny of countenance. I gaze soberly on a Film that shows theaucieutcemetery of Kingston, or Kingstown, as Conway was called under the/sovereighanty of King George. It. lies in the shadow of mossy live oaks on a rising ground planted thick with graves. Hut the grave that stands out in my memory is the one whose white marble head stone bears my ancestral name, a young wife and mother, who passed out of the world in her seventeenth year. What a mere breath of exist - ence! What a swiftly extinguished flashlight of possibilities!! An'other Film, and the tears start, for I see an old man, who totters as he walks with the benumbing sense of senility, which is the sponsor of death. As I regard his Film I hear again his voice, with the peculiar ring of the Republic of Horry, as he tells me of his wife's last hour. Many friends were gathered at her death-bed, for she was good and well loved. She turned to him in that supreme moment saying, "I thought I should be afraid to die, but now all looks clear." Life, like the kodak, calls for a constant shifting of the point of view, so our last Film brings up the ancient Court-house of Conway, and the crowds of men hanging about its doors and stairways. Tn the dim, dusty interior I see again the Judge, i serious and attentive, the jury on his right, the oppssing attorneys at \ their desks or on the floor debating ( the point at issue, and a singular \ break in the traditicms of Conway, a \ group of ladies seated in the audience t - who listen earnestly to the contention of the opposing council.?Fairfax Enterprise. _ i ' ** NEW KAI1.ROAI) IN IIOKKY.

Till: COUN TY AUTHORITIES DONT ; KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE ROAD MACHINERY Company Claims lornier Hoard Ajrrced to liny Machinery. Supervisor lioytl Says no % Such Contract was Made The county authorities are just now pu/./.lcd as to what to do with a largo lot of modern road machinery which has been lying here for many months near the depot, ever since it was shipp d here by the makers. Former Supervisor J, 11. Hoyd says that the machinery was to bo shipped here on approval ami at the risk of the company, the county reserving the privilege of taking such of it. as they wanted and returning the balance. Since Su pervisor \Y . I\. Holt lias broil in of lice the mutter lias troubled him no lit ili>, letters having been received from the machinery company claiming that the county owed them the sum of $P()0.()() in round numbers, and intimating that legal steps would be taken unless settlement were made by the county authorities. The machinery was shipped here nearly a year ago and since that time with exception of a scraper or two and perhaps one or two wagons, lias been lying on the ground near the depot without any shelter over it and being very much injured by this exposure. There is a largo road roller that takes many horses to pull, besides other pieces of very cosdy and heavy machinery. There is some of it that might be used by the county to advantage, but if they use it, it will amount to an atlirmance of the purchase and the county might he compelled to take the whole lot whether they actually agreed to purchase it or not. Mr. Holt has sought legal advice on the subject and the bill will hardly be paid, it is said, unless passed upon by a court and the facts found against the county, r He is not ttic Author. Notwithstanding a notice that was published in this paper last week to the effect that Mr. Geo. M. Johnson of Galivants Ferry was not the author of the article appearing in this paper some time ago criticizing the verdict of tho jury in the case of the State vs. Commander Johnson, it seems that certain people persist in circulating this false report. We feel called upon again to state to the , public that Mr. Geo. M. Johnson had nothing whatever to do with the writing of that article. The original article is on file in the ofiico and it was written by a person who Jives i 11 JL 1 (Yni^nn ennf ! a?^ af < 1?^ 4 ? .? u uiiiviviiu ouv/HUil Ul liliu uuuuiy and is hardly likely to bo even acquainted with Mr. Geo. M. Johnson. The name of the writer of the article which has caused considerable comment on the part of the people, is in the possession of the Editor, but we wish to say again that it is unjust to Mr. George Johnson to charge him with the authorship of an article that he never even saw before it appeared in the paper. In justness to him the Herald hopes that this notice will put an end to any talk of his being the author of the letter, and all those who are not perfectly satisfied with the word of the editor are at liberty to call at the offico of this paper and find out for themselves the truth of the matter.

NO- :H> A Home Wedding. Once more the wedding bells have rung at Bueksville, this time for the marriage of' hiss Lily Edith Sarvis and Mr. El Page of Exile, S. C. On the morning of November 1st. a few of the nearest relatives of both parties assembled at the residence of Oapt. Moses F. Sarvis to witness the marriage. Anxious watchers who love to quoto "blessed is the bride that the sun shines on" had been predicting that the "mists would roll away " and finally they did, and old Sol lent his benediction and throwing raps to the comfort and joy of all Flowers bloomed and birds sang outside and loving hands transformed the interior of the home into a bower of beautv. The decorations consisted ehiellv of ivy and chrysanthemums, and the nimble fingers of the baby and pet of the household evolved a marriage bell of ivy and white chrysanthemums that would have done credit to a florist. The hour was fixed for twelve and soon expectant eyes turned to the doors. I 'nderthe cultured touch of Miss llanah Sarvis Lohengrin's wedding inarch pealed forth, the liev. \i > - " .

Then came thu bride accompanied by her maid of honor, Miss Delia Page and the groom wiih Mr. Frank Singleton as best man. They both took their places und4,r the bell and the brief marriage service of the Methodist Kpiscopil church was performed in a solemn and impressive manner. The usual congratulations were offered and then all repaired to the dining room where a tastefully arranged collation awaited them. Large linbred rings of ivy and crimson gardenias suspended over the table indicated the place of honor for the bride and groom. An enjoyable array of refreshments were served consisting of sandwiches, pickles, black and white fruit cake, ambrosia, grapes, bananas and oranges, with accompaniments of coffee, tea and chocolate. As the groom's father had tendered the young couple a reception that night they had to leave immediately after lunch. They drove olT among showers of rice and good wishes. The other guests remained and spent several hours in mutual enjoyment. The bride is a lovely aud popular girl and the groom bears an excellent character. The bride was faultlessly gowned in white mousseline do soie with brussels veil caught at intervals with white blossoms. The corsage of her dress was allover lace putted sleevos trimmed with flowing lace, a silken girdle and neck (iuish and the bertha of lace completed a bewitching costume. She woro brides roses with maiden hair fern and carried a lovely bouquet of gardenias with foliage of rose geranium and sword fern aud completed by showers of white ribbon. Miss Delia Page wore cream mousseline do soie with yoke and sleoves of lace, and carried bouquot of pink (/nr:i niumu nn/1 I rAilno/mnUn ~ n unu ii UUCOV/UI1 ViU (II1U JJII1U. ribbon. The bride and groom present a deoided contrast, she being a pure blonde and he a pronounced brunette. Athough presents were not on exhibition, there were some voay handsome and useful ones tendered them. The attending guests were Mrs. Sarah Dusenbury of Socastee, and her beautiful and aeeomplisded niece Miss Delia Blanchard of Maine, Misses Ilanah, Lucy andNita Sarvis, Miss Sadie Dusenbury, Mrs. Chan. Price, Mrs. Arthur Pinner, (nee Florenco Sarvis) who was herself a bride a year ago. Mrs. Chestnut, a sister of the groom and Messrs. Brewster Harper, Perlie and Cordie Page and Mrs ClifTord Sarvis. It may be worth noting that this is the fifth time the wedding bells have rung in the Sarvis family in thirteen months. It is suggested that for significant reasons that two remaining daughtcisbe placed in a convent.
