I fVv r VOL, XX. LORIS HAS 4TH SliVTRAI- SPEAKERS HI S ID I S CANDIDATES MAKE SPEECHES EVERYTHING VERY PLEASANT I.oris had tlic Hljrjrest K-ourth of .liilyaCelcl>ration in Iter History, and tlic l.artre Crowd that Attended Were, well Taken Care of. Loris, the Horry town next in importance to Conway, had a celebration of the 4th, which will be lon?; reiuenibcretl by many people as a very pleasant occasion. The people attended not only from the nearby vicinity, but they were there from various distant corners of this and other counties. Several speakers from Conway had been invited to attend and nu ke addresses, and the invitation was extended to all of the! candidates fur county offices to take the stump at Loris and open the county campaign on. the glorious Kourth. The tr&in from Conway in the early morning was full of people going to Loris and other points, but Loris got more than perhaps her share of those who went. The speaking took place in the spacious tobacco warehouse, which was amply sufficient to hold the large crowd. Mr. \\ K. Holt acted as chairman of the meeting, and he introduced t he speakers. The crowd gathered in the warehouse at about the hour of 10 o'clock. The first speaker on the program was II. H. Woodward, Esq., of Conway His subject was the past and the present, and in referring to the present he complimented Loris for the wonderful progress she has been making during the last few years, keeping fully up with Conway and other parts of ihe county. Next was Col. 1). A. Spivey, who is also a candidate for reelection to the House of Representatives. He made some eloquent references to the Declaration of Inrh-nomlnnnn -mrt - had something to say about the patriotism of the fearners of that document who fought so hard to establish it. But he spoke of the present in his usual hopeful and spirited style and he was listened to with much interest and attention. Then came the candidates who were there for the purpose of announcing their candidacy for the various ollices. The following candidates were present and addressed the people. \V. N. tier raid, P. Marion Johnson, both for Judge of Probate; \V. K. Holt, W. L. Singleton, A. P Johnson and W II. Small, all for County Supervisor; Geo. L. Marsh, lor County Auditor. The other candidates for auditor were elsewhere. VV. A. Prince for Superintendent of Education. It was discovered that there wore two candidates on the ground for the Legislature who had not been announced formally as such, and they were called to address the meeting. They were Hon. D. D. Barrelson and Nit*. M. M. Stanley. Mr, Marrelson is at present filling this position, and Mr. Stanley was a candidate once before getting a very Mattering vote. Both made speeches of some length. Clerk of Court W. L. Mishoe was present. Be was not a candidate as his term does not e'JVdre until two years hence But t^/ise present insisted that he make an address and he did so very briefly but pleasantly and appropriately Mr. J. Lewis Lee was among the invited speakers' and he took the stand toward the last, making a very good speech. T tnn ! .i II--- ??!?1 ' uui/ci 111 mo Uiiy IVUV, Jill'll irnpl j Mullins collected a laryo crown n front of the railroad depot and made a very loud speeeh in favor of prohibition, mentioning the candidacy of Joel E. Brunson for yovernor. The picnic and other exercises of the day were all that could be desired, and Lor is was at her best. The town was incorporated only a very few years'ayo, but she has been steadily yrowiny ever since. She has in her midst some of as live business men as you will find anywhere, and they intend to make Loris everything that she ouyht to be. A la rye chemical plant is just beiny completed and pui. in workiny order. Many new cottayes are in process of erection. Amony the visitors from Conway thereon the 4th were Dr. W. E. McCord, V. D.

Constable V. 1). Johnson was aboard of the train last Wednesday morning on the way to Loris and saw lsoni Austin, a uo#ro, slyly passing a pistol to another colored passenger. He caught the pistol before it could reach the other man's pocket aud held it until assistance could reach him to take the two negroes away from him. They had the constable between them and he could not reach his pistol which was in the wron# hip pockets. Hut despite the stru##lcs of the negroes he held on to the wea[>on until Ceo. Jj. Marsh and W. K. Holt reached his side and helped him to place the nc#io under arrest. Not Ion# after the train reached llomewood, Isoin saw his chance while the odicer was not look in# and jumped from the train strikin# in a pile of old crossties. This seemed only to stun him for a moment for he was up and runnin#as the train went out of si#ht. Officers were put on the watch at uoris unci on the evening train lie was captured and lodged in jail here on Thursday the following day. Constables are sworn to take up pistols when they find them lining unlawfully carried, and the constable was acting in the discharge of his duty. The hand with which he caught the pistol was painfully eui and torn, but aside from this there was no personal injury. Toddvillc TidiiijfH. IJ. A. Dusenbury spent Mon.lay in Conway.

C.. .Julv 3rd . 1 !M?t5 ()?vin?/ to the fact that several rumors to tlic etTce.t thai the Loris Warehouse Co. would not open their doors lor tin; purpose at' selling tobacco this season, we laUe this met hod of informing our friends t hat the Loris Tobacco Warehouse will be run this season under the management of Messrs. P. It. Causey and A. B. Kdwards. Mr. Causey is an oldand experienced . tob \cco man from Winston Salem, N. C.. who has been closely connected with the tobacco interests of that city for a number of years, whose judgment and fair dealings with his customers has won for him the admiration of every one, and the applause of his competitors, can lie relied upon by the tobacco growers of the Loris section and the. sur-| routunng country to take euro of every interest intrusted to his cure. You are all acquainted with Mr. Causey, he having been connected with the tobacco interest of this place for two years, and the many iriends ard customers that he has made can rest assured of the fact that they will bo looked after with more consideration this year than any time in the past. Mr. Edwards hails from Mullins, the little Danville of South Carolina, where he has been actively engaged in the tobacco business for the past ten years. Now where can there bo found a man who can come nearer telling and getting the true worth of your tobacco than Mr. Edwards? He knows it from the jump up, and a more conscientious and conservative man has never come among us. His reputation as u man who is thoroughly acquainted with all the detail working of tho tobacco business cannot be questioned. Mr. Edwards is dot only an experienced "tobacco man, but one whose knowledge of the business affairs and clerical work which are coupled with the warehouse business, fits him for the duties of warehouseman. Mr. Edwards is one of the directors of the Merchants & Planters Hank at. Mullins, which is one of the leading! institutions of that city. This position of trust and honor should recommend him to any j>eople, and we feel that the Loris tobacco people and the growers of this section'will support him in every way, making their little town one or the leading tobacco markets of the State. Hear these people in mind and watch for their advertisement which will come out in a few weeks. THE LOUIS TOHACCO WAREHOUSE CO.. J. C. HU YA NT Ppao An Explanation.
