THERE WAS NO INSURANCE
And The Buildings arc a Total
Loss, But the Most of the Furniture
and Beds und Bed ClothIiik"
Were Saved-- Family l.iviujr

The dwelling house and kitchen of
Mr. J. P. Graham, who lives on his
fnu.v? - It "
<i4i 111 uii uiu itcuvcs perry road near
Reaves Ferry, were consumed bv
(lames last Thursday. Most, ot' the
furniture and bed clothing were
saved from the burning buildings,
but the family were left without
shoes and other articles of clothing
that are very much needed. The
llamos awakened the family about
12 o'clock at night and they had
gained such headway that nothing
could be done to stop them. The
cause of the (ire is entirely unknown,
but it is supposed that a st^irk must
have caught from the kitcluJuVstovo.
Mr. Graham had just completed
the erection of a new barn and in
this the famiiv are now living, until
another dwelling can be erected.
Friends of the unfortunate family
were raising contributions last week
to help them out of their trouble.
It is a heavy blow to any farmer
to lose his dwelling, especially at
this time of the year, and the people
in this ease, should contribute
enough to help Mr. Graham replace
his loss. The Herald has undertaken
to receive and transmit to Mr.
Graham any amount its subscribers
over the county are willing to give,
and contributions of money or even
building material may be left ii.
Conway for him or handed to him
personally. The people of Horry
are always liberal in helping an
unfortunate brother, and this case
will hardly be au exception to the
rule. If you wish to contribute
send it to the Herald during the
week and Mr. Graham will get it
promptly with the name of the
giver

S. (>., died on Wednesday March
. 28th, 190(5. He was born on January
18th, 1840 making him in his
sixty second year. He leaves a host
of friends and relatives and five
devoted children to mourn their
loss. He was only sick three weeks
and 9u tiered a great deal. His doctor,
Dr. Stone, of Shallotte, N. 0.,
did all for him that could be done
but the Lord knew best and took
him to a better world. He said he

the old home where they wore rais

brother's family was opposed to
having him buried there so his dear
body was laid to rest in the Little
Uiver church yard.

His Satisfactory Status.
A successful man, eh! Has he
held some high office, achieved a
great commercial victory, won a
name in any of the arts, or bo -ome
famous in some certain dirg^fiom?
Well, no: not exactly, fhr^ he is
the solidest farmer in the country,
lives within his income, is never
bothered by autograph hunters,
don't know lie's got a stomach, has
senso enough to be aware that he's
not a logical candidate for anything,
cares even less than he knows about
good form, has a wife who is uni
cursed by social aspirations, trains
up his children in the way they
should go, and goes along with them
in it, is not distantly related to any
great man, can swap horses without
skinning or being skinned, is never
called prominent or stigmatized as
colonel, owns a roadster tluU is just
a little tit faster than an^other in
the region and has a son-in-law that
he is abundantly able to lick if tho.y
should have a quarrel. These are
soma of the reasons why 1 call John
G. Fullenwider a successful man.

Editor Herald-Please allow me
space in yourcolumnsfora few lines.
I see in the last issue of the paper
a piece from Pleasant Meadow with!
this query in it: "Why is it some
church members don't believe in
their own profession?" Well, it. is
because they are not converted under
Christ and are not full of the
Holy Ghost, and care more for the
cares of this world and its gtiods
than hereafter. I think this will
give the answer.
Now, Mr. Wait attacks the character
of Bro. Grainger for the money
he will get for it. ?
Farmers are very husy planting.
Some are through planting corn mid
cotton and waiting for some ruiji to
set out tobacco.
Best wishes to the Herald and! its
readers. Farmer.

BAD LABOR CONDITIONS.
An Open Letter Written By Mr. J.
l.ewis Lee to Commissioner
Watson. Explains a State of
Affairs That Should not he Allowed
to Continue.
For the past week or two it appears
that agents from the Chadbourn
oormniinitv nml nmi?u.i
..... V v %% J \ ? liv.lll l't) Ot'U"
tions, have been coming into Horry
and carrying out hands by the car
loads to engage in picking berries
in another State. This matter did
not bring a serious thought, to the
growers lu re until very recently
when they discovered that it was
almost impossible to get suldcient
hands to pick their strawberries.
Now it appears from the subjoined
letter and from other information
we have received, that the labor at
Con way and in the vicinity *vih entail
a heavy loss on the growers, as
without the hands, the crop will rot
in the fields and canaoi be marUclod.
Such condition can be prevented,
and vigorous steps should have been
taken long before mm to put a
Stop to it. Th<?. following is the
letter written to Mr. Watson:
* 4'Conway. S. C., 5?J?(?
I Ion. K. J . Watson,
I mmigration Commissioner,
Columbia, S. C.
44 Dear Sit : ? I wish to call your
attention to a matte.* of vital im
porumce to the truckers and fruit
growers of this section, and a standing
menace to a great industry.
"We have a very promising crop
of berries at this juncture, in Ilorry
county and it seems as if fully one
half of the crop will rot on the.
vines for ihe want of hands to pick
the fruit. On the other hand we
have agents coining from North
Carolina contracting for pickers in
this State and taking them away by
the ear load. 1 understand there is
law against such work?Can we not
enforce it? What promised to be
a record breaking season to the
fruit raisers here, seems at this
moment to be sacrificed to a flagrant
breaking of the laws of this Stale.
"Please see what can he done, for
while 1 am heart and sonl American
I am first of all a citizen of Ilorry
county, South Carolina.
Yours very truly,
J. Lewis Lee "

court house and jail lying near the

But this time the offer is not entirely
free. Should t his site be selected

negro boy was backed into a train
as it was passing and the little
negro was pitched out head first upon

Ready-made glasses are a failure,
