The Seaside Inn at Myrtle Beach
was formally opened last week, and
these few simple words convoy a volume
of meaning to thC ^pleasure
seeker as well as to those who enjoy
a refreshing and invigoratiug
dip in the waves of the broad Atlantic
after the cares and the perplexities
as well as the business problems
of the day have been laid aside
and the mind is free from care.
This occasion had been the theme,
in fact the all absorbing one, of
conversation among all classes and
conditions of our people for the past
several weeks and was looked forward
to with many pleasant anticipations
of the enjoyment which
awaited thorn at the other t*hd of the
road and big prcparation^&vcre being
made to make this occasion a
memorable one in the social life of
the county, But as the saying goes
humanity is doomed to disappointment
and when the cup of happiness
is full to the briin and in tlio
quattiing it turns to wormwood and
gall upon our expectant lips. Such
was the experience of many last Friday.
About a week previous the
rains of the summer solistice set
in and the down pour was almost
continuous until Friday when 'there
was a rift in the clouds and it seemed
as if they would roll by. But
contrary to all expectation they
began to gather again and by the
hour for the departure of the train it
appeared as if the very flood gates of
heaven were opened. This unfortunate
condition prevented by far
the larger part of those who intended
going from doing so, but
notwithstanding a goodly number
--about two cars full?braved the
warring olments and made the trip
to their profit and pleasure
The Conway. Coast and Western
railroad passes through some of as
fertile land as can be found any where
in this or any other country. It is
adapted to any crop that grows
which is indigenous to our climate
and much of it affords fine ranges
and there are fortunes in it for those
who have the energy and enterprise
to to get it out of it. Looking
from the window as the cars glided
through the beautiful landscape in
W a 5 1.1 * 1 ? -
an us wiiii, langieu glory oi its primeval
state, one could not help but
be impressed with the grand possibilities
of development that only
needs the brawn and muscle and
money to make them blossom with
the rich fruits of intelligent, industrious,
progressive labor.
The Inn is situated on a commanding
prominence, thus giving
both an ocean and land view of
surprising beauty and grandeur
which is surpassed by no other summer
resort within the recollection of
this reporter. The air, coming directly
from the sea, is cool, refreshing,
and invigorating and from this
fact more so perhaps than from any
other cause, it is entirely free from
mosquitoes, sand flies and other
summer pests which annoy and harass
the "summer swallow" in itsf
search of rest,-recreation or "^asure,
and which takes away at It onehalf
of the enjoyment of a summer
outing at nearly all of the other resorts.
The building is lit by electricity
generated by its own plant <r
the premises, as we'd as being .- > .?
plied with other modern clccu\cal
appliances conducive to the com
fort and convenience of the guests.
Its rooms are airy and coolandcomfortablv
furnished and cleanliness
pervades the whole place. The
grounds are spacious, shad\ and the
tscacn is wiuiouL uoimt the linost on
the Atlantic coast. Antony tlie
umnscmcnts are bowling ally, billiards,
pool and dancing, besides various
other diversions. ,
The dancing pavilion was brilliantly
illuminated with numerous sparkling
electric jets, beautiful women,
robe in evening gowns and gallant
young gentlemen gracofully glided
over the waxed floor in rhythm with
the soft, dreamy strain of the waltz.
Everybody seemed to have enjoyed
themselves with those amusements
that their fancy suggested.
The cul*nary department has the
careful and personal supervision of
Mr. Quartus Scotnev, the genial host
x of the Sea Side Inn, who delights to
> cater to the comfort and pleasure
of his guests. The choicest products
Of tho sea, the land and tltfi larder
are made to contribute toward the
feeding of the people and the dishes
are tho thoughtful products of one
well acquainted in culinary art. In

Conway llottliitjr Works Sold.
The Conway Bottling Works has
been sold by R. A. Baker to S. (J.
Davis and F. M Wall of Marion
County. Mr. Wall was in Conway
the first of the week to take over
the business and begin it under new
management. Mr. Baker had increased
the business very much
since starting it a year or two ago,
but he decided to quit it in order to
engage in other pursuits. The business
has fallen in good hands in the
persons of Messrs Davis and V/all
and there is not a doubt that they
will do a successful business.
The former patrons and friends of
the establishment will be welcomed
by Mr. Wall any time and all business
will receive prompt and courteous
attention.

was Accepted By the Board. I
As previously slated the bids by

^ nv.ivt .i nivi-uu^ iur iuc pur- I
pose of opening tlie bids. There
was some misunderstanding between |
a representative of a Chicago coneern
that put in a bid on the bonds,
and the representative of the Spartanburg
company that finally secured
them. There wore words betwecn
them and the commission
thought seriously of calling them
down. But the Spartanburg concern
offered the sum of 881.00 premium
on the bonds and required only
1 1 ?12 per cent interest. This was 1
the oest bid and it was duly accepted
by the commission.
The plans and specifications are
now being prepared by the architects
and will likely bo submitted
to the commission in about a week
or ten days. When the plans and
specifications are in the hands of '
the commissioners the contract for
the erection of the new structures
will be let to the lowest responsible
oiuuer tor tho work, and when all
this is gotten in good shape the 1
work will begin. <
The Security Trust Company will
put up the $40,000.00 and in addi- .
tion the sum of $381.00. The coun- ,
ty will pay interest on $40,000.00 1
only at the rate of four and one half 1
per cent.

Ned Sessions was tried before a
jury hero last. Friday and found
i/uilty of vioalation of the liquor laws
and piaced in jail. ITois the cripple
one who has been seen riding around
Conway for the past several years,
not hcino able to ?jet out and in
his huooy with cut assistance. He
has been an object of pity and when
the old butjoy he used to ride in was
well nitrh worn out and dropping to
pieces, some who were charitably
inclined made contributions and
bought him a new bugj/y wh'ch he
has been usino ever since. For
several months past, he had been
suspected of hauling whiskey in his
new bu^fcfy and seems that damajp
ino evidence was brought out against
him at his tuial last Friday. The
jury convicted him it is said with
reluctance, out of pitv for one in his i
condition, but they could not disre |
tfard their duty and had to tied him
guilty. The man is indeed an object
of pity, it is to be regretted that he
tried to make a living t>y violating
the laws in relation to the sale of
liquor.
