did not. cost over three hundred dollars,
was sold a short time ago for
more than two thousand.

right spirit which we hope will contin

A few months ago, there was
much talk of putting in electric
lights in Conway and a company
was formed for the purpose of establishing
a power plant. For some
time past we have heard nothing
from it and we are afraid that the
matter is all off for the time being
at least. It is a matter that ought
not to lag, but Conway should have
the company and the lights just as
early as possible.
The opinion is general among the
people that the Atlantic Coast Line
lias been the owner of the new railroad
all along ever since it was sold
out by the first owners, and there
was no intention from the beginning
to carry the road any further than
the neighborhood of Cool Spring in
this county. Many believe that this!
will be the final terminus of that end
of the line, and that it was nover intended
to carry it any further.
Some however hold the opinion that
as there is much money invested in
the road, beginning no where and
ending no where except at Con way,
that the Atlantic Coast Line will be
compelled to carry it further in order
to tret the necessary traffic to
make it yie.id a return from the investment.
There is no telling which
opinion is correct, but timo will of
course sol 'e all problems.
The proper place for the new depot
that has been so long in coming
is in the open field just above the
old school building, or on the hill
nearby. It was expected that some
move would be made to have it put
there, Out no stops were taken and
the grading is now being done to
Start the erection of the building
on the vacant lot opposite the pros
cut site. The new depot might have
boon placed outside of the business
portion of the town and then the
tra' k along Main street, although it
remained in place would have been
used onlv occasionally for hauling
, ?
car loads >[ freight to the river, and
th?* passage of trains along the principal
street of the 'own would not
bo m> frequent The llerald i > not
informed as to whether there is a
town ordinance limiting the rato of
speed of trains on Main street, but
if there is one, it does not appear to
be enforced. If there is one, it
should be strictly enforced, and if
there is not one, one should be passed.
Any traveller through Horry

with conditions for the past ten
years, ts convinced that great changes
are taking place and that the
county is leaving behind her the rep
people depended upon turpentine
and the getting of timber and staves
and the making of tar for a living.
From this they got little more than
enough to supply their needs and
necessities at the time being They
laid up nothing for rainy days?they
made no improvements either in
their farms or farm houses?they
lived for the most part in pole cab ins
built from the same forest where
they went daily to eke out their
bread. Such a state of affairs was
not calculated to advance them in
wealth or intellect. Lint the forests
finally began to decline, prices of iii
val stores went down below the 1 iv

to the soil. Farms were cleared up
and other improvements f dlowed

Conway ?*? Seen t?y a Visitor.
(Fairfax, Enterprise.)
I arrived at Con way on Monday
afternoon, and am much impressed
by some of the features to the town's
location. It is situated on the Wnccumaw
river, and over this beautiful
st i earn are two bridges, one a rail
>nd bridge built last year, and the
i. her a bridge used by the people of
n'ti and country in crossing to and
n < invevances or afoot.
iv triend, Mrs. Me White and 1
blood on this latter bridge and enjoyed
the exquisite picture of clear water
reflecting the deep blue of the
sky above, the forest growth on the
banks of tiic river forming a varicolored
belt of beauty between the
lake and lovely heavens above it.
Conway dates back to colonial
days when it was Kingston and its
county Craven It was called Conway
borough in honor of General
Robert Conway in 1800. A quiet,
sleepy little village was Con way. no
farther back than 1800, when the
population of the whole county was
12,000 people. In that year the Legislature
cut off the borough part and
y,?vf in inn uiwn \do oeautilul and
suggestive natno of Conwav, Today
Conway is almost as largo as new
Georgetown, which it much rosemhies.
There are the same features
of sandy soil, hilly undulations, a
lake and river beside it and the Atlantic
beach in an hour's distance by
train.
As for property it is the residence 1
of millionaires. Il has thirteen big
mercantile companies, whoso yearly
business foots up from $25,000 to
$200,000 a year. The sworn statomentsof
the Hank of Conwav. issued
in September of this >ear, show deposits
of over a quarter million of
dollars
Conway has two newspapers, The
Field, edited by Edwin J. Sherwood,
and the Horry Herald, edited by Mr.
II. H. Woodward. They are both
young men with line editorial headpieces^
and bring out lively double
sheets weekly.
There are several hotels and many
boarding houses at Con way, I have
been most interested in seeking up
traces of my grand-father, Capt.
Henry Durant, who was a leading
citizen of this town and county in
1887, when he died. He owned a
boat-line on the Waceamaw river.
Today several steamers navigate
the Waceamaw to Georgetown, a new
one named "Mitchell C," after Miss
Collins, having made her lirst trip a
week ago.
1 am naturally interested in trac
ing back mementoes of my grandfather.
A very significant one is
DwRante's church; out a few miles,
I built originally by liim and his brothers,
and still a power in the land
Yc*terdav 1 saw the house, yet in
good preservation, built by my
great uncle, John Dullant, for his
i maiden sister Martha, c?allod in the
vernacular of than day Patsey.
Having heard my father so often
speak of his aunt Patsey, I could
ea?ily see her in my mind's eye. I
visited also "Crabtree." the plantation
of my grandfather, today a
great estate of wooded land and
cultivated fields.
