Ml<. JACKSON INDORSED.
PiSMfali Wants the New Court
House and -lail.
Editor Herald;?I feel that I
should say something through the
columns of your paper in reference
to the statement of Mr. Jackson
given in regard to the meeting which
seemed to have been a failure at
Floyds. I regret very much to have
to say that the citizens of the good
old county seem somewhat to be a
little careless 111 performing their
duty, which is so much needed in
the different sections.
Oh! if we had more cood citizens
? D -- '
thatwere interested about their opportunities
and their future us Mr.
Jackson seems to be, what a great
ehitago for the better would soon
prevail in this and in adjoining
counties. As a general thing, our
people seem to bo opposed to the
new enterprise which is so much
needed in this day.
L was in conversation 'the other
day with some of my neighbors, and
as we were speaking about different
correspondents to the Herald, I said
to them, that I thought it was very
likely that the legislature would
take some action in reference to'the
erection of the now court house and
jail, which Horry was in need of,
and their reply was; Horry has no
use for a new court house and jail.
They seemed to think that the old
ones were substantia'. Now why
did they talk that way? .Inst because
they were afraid if there was
some action taken in regard to a|
new court house and jail that there
would be a small per cent added
to their taxes. Cor.
Rally and Picnic Proposed.
Editor Herald: ? I can fully sympathize
with A. !). Jackson in fiis
effort to rally the farmers of Horry,
and can well understand his feelings
when so few responded to a call for
such a purpose as organizing for our
mutual protection and go >d, especially
so when it seems to me that
with but little united effort on the
part of the cotton growers, they
could soon have things pretty much
their own way.
How about organzing a grand
rally and picnic sometime during
the coming summer, Uro. Jackson?
The fourth of July would be an
excellent time in my judgment,
when we could arrange for some
. good speakers, and the farm
ers Could sign a new declaration of
independence. Cutting themselves
loose from those who have been ex
ploiting with their products, and
handling their own business accord-1
ing to their best interest, the farmers
could sohn bo on the high road
to prosperity. All those who are
in favor of such a meeting for such a
purpose kindly drop me a card or
respond through the medium of the
Herald. J. Lewis Lee.

THE
LUMBER INDUSTRY.
BESIDES THE OLD. THERE ARE
SEVERAL NEW CONCERNS
FORMING.
With tlic OKI /Mills In Operation
and New Ones Starting tip. Con way

of Lumber.
Since the holidays no less than
three now lumber companies have
sprung into life at Conway, and the
sites for the plants are already selected
and materials on the ground
already for some of them
Judge Lewis and his son of Virginia

cutting up the immense quantities
of timber they hold, and the concern
has been incorporated under
the laws of another State under the
name of the Kanawah Lumber Co.
About the first of the year, Conway
Lumber Co., was sold out to
Wilson Brothers. Messrs. M. J.
Grant and A. M. Burroughs, who
had belonged to this company withdrew
when the sale took place and
j have formed a company of their
own under the name of Burroughs
& Grant Lumber Co. They have
had much experience in the lumber
business and will succeed.
Contractor TT. l\ Little, who has
been running a lumber business in
connection with his brick yard at
Pot HlutT has decided to come to
Conway, and some of the materials
are already on the site near
the Lake for the erection
of a new plant. This business will
be incorporated and bear the name
of Little Lumber Company.
With the old mills in operation
and these new concerns in full
blast, Conway will be in position to
take the lead in the production of
lumber among the small towns of
eastern Cnrnlinn.
A Railroad Wreck.
?There was a wreck on the Atlantic
Coast Line last week near
Ward's sta'.ion, caused by accidental
uncoupling of the cars, but no
one was hurt except the baggage
master. As the train was running
neat* the station the oars became
uncoupled unknown to the engineer
and the front part of the train went
on ahead of the rear portion which
followed with increasing speed as it
was down grade. The engineer was
signalled to stop at the station and
the rear portion ran into the front
smashing up one of the cars. The
baggage master was in the baggage
room which was piled high with
trunks of drummers' samples, lie
was jammed between two of these
heavy trunks and seriously injured
so that medical aid was required.
At last accounts the full extent of
his in juries was not known.

In l.ovinjr Memory.
OF MRS. SAM I.IVINUSTONK.
On the third day of February
1905, God plucked the bright blossom
from our home.?the precious
mother, who sweetly fell asleep in
the arms of Jesus. Our hearts were
torn and crushed when wo had to
give her up, the dearest one of our
happy family and the precious one
of life, joy and comfort of our home.
When the sad hour came for her
to be taken from us, our hearts
were broken, our happy home was
saddened and darkened. Aunt
Jennie was a kind helper and effectionate
mother, a loving and
devoted sister, kind and true friend
and was loved and idolized by every
member of the family and all who
knew her. She was always kind and
true to every one, and loved her
church and Sunday school dearly.
She was sick two years and suf
fcred what no tongue can tell. She
sull'ered more than over for five
months before she entered the
Kingdom of Heaven. Hut through
all of her pain there was not a murmur
from her lips or a frown on
precious face. Through it all she
would smile. Little did wo think
that her sweet smiles wore with the
angels above and not for us.
Her natience during the live
months of her illness was a beautiful
example to her loved ones and
friends around her, and was until
the deat h angel came down and unfolded
his wings over her bed. She
closed her eyes to this world to open
them in the Paradise of God.

loving hearts and willing hands
could do we had to give her up
While we know that our precious
one is a bright angel in heaven today
clear of all pain, trouble and all
sorrows, vet if she were with us
again how happy hearts and home
would he again! Yet the joyis
ours of knowing that when life's
dark day is done, we will meet our
aunt Jennie in the land of many
mansions bright and fair.
Cod loved you aunt Jennie and 11c
has called you away to that happy
land above. Our happiness is gone.
Home is the saddest place on earth
without those precious smiles of
yours, but soon we will go and meet
you where parting will be no more.
She left two brothers and nine
children to mourn their loss, but
while we mourn wo feel that it is
her (denial gain. May they, each
and every one, find a home in
heaven when their earthly task is
done
I think of ycu when lights grow

And only over the water's face,
The soft moon's gleam lights up
(the place,
And noise and toil seems faraway.
I think of you, and thinking touch
Your hand again I miss so much.
I think of you, if you whose way
Lies with till; stars of love at;.! pain

MURDER IS SUSPECTED

Developments.
A young negro laborer named
James Sanders, alias "Snow-ball
was drowned at the wharf of the
Waccamaw Line of Steamers la t
Monday morning, at an early hour,
under circumstances which have
led the authorities to suspect foulplay
on the part of Frank Wilson
the onlv eve witness.
At first a story (gained currency
on the streets that the negro li.ul
walked backwards olY the wharf
into the river, and had drowned
not being able to swim, A man
walked up to the place just as the
negro was in his last struggles in the
water and asked him if he could
swim, lie got no answer and the
body soon went down to rise no
more.
It was discovered that one Prank
Wilson another negro was with
Snowball at the tune, and that
Wilson left without giving any
satisfactory account of the occurrence.
lie was stopped at Rucksport
and brought back and lodged
in the county jail under a warrant
issued by Coroner II. II. burroughs.
He is being held by the coroner as
a witness for the inquest that will be
held as soon as the body is recovered
from the river. If there should
be any proof of foul play on the part
of Wilson he will be held after the
inquest under a graver charge.
The authorities are said to have
good reasons, for believing that
Snowball was knocked or stabbed
by Wilson and thrown into the
river on purpose to hide the crime.
