TALES OF WOE I
IIORKY'S ST ATI: CAMPAIGN DAY
TOMORROW
TIME LIMIT, SHORT TALKS.
I liroiiir't a Misiiiiclcrstandinir Sen
alor Tillman will not l>c Here.
Hut all tlic Balance of the Candidates
will He I'rit Ait
Tho State candidates will bo at
Conway on July 20th to address the
people and tell their little tales of
woe. Conway generally gives the
State candidates a large audience
and as a general ruje they got a
quiet hearing. The usual large
crowd is expected this year, but it
seems that Tillman, the big gun of
the crowd will not bo here. Mr. J.
A. McDermott. chairman of the executive
committee, had a letter from
him some weeks ago stating that he
would be here to address tho people,
but latter he learned that tho Senator
had changed lit*oi plans and
would only speak i/j/ particular
places named, and Conway was not
among those places.
The speaking will take place on
tho lawn in front of Col. D.A. Spivey's
rosi lence and on the opposite side of
Main Street from the Methodist
Church. It was here that the old
soldiers had their encampment last
spring but the stately oaks will hear
hot political talk next Friday instead
of the patriotic eloquence of
the former occasion.
There are quite a number of candidates
for State otliecs and as the
time is limited short subjects may
lw,
hi- i-A |?rv;irii .
A Card from Mr. Jackson.
Mr. l?il it or: H bo^an to look sometime
ago like Messrs. Spivey and
Mishoo were going to have an easy
ride over, but it seems now that some
of the other boys are desirous of
sharing in the rich spoils of the conquest
and have come out in a mighty
army to give them battle. If they
had come sooner 1 would have liked i
it better, as I had no idea of making
the race for any otTice up to a few
days ago although I had been solicit
ed several times by different part ies,
lint as I did not know Mr. Spivey's i
platform and could not exactly agree
with Mishoo I decided 1 would come <
out so that the people would have
some one to scratch on election day. |
Now if some of the other eandi- i
dates have my platform 1 will with- l
draw from the race as my friends ,
feared that the prejudice that has
existed and been exhibited in cam- ;
paigns in the past against Marion |
men, though I think the day of such
bitterness as that in this county is a
thing of the past, and the people j
have realized the fact that there are \
some good men here from other ;
uhu'i's si? cv?>ll nv i-iuenlo
I want all the other candidates 1
for the House to let their platforms 1
he known through the papers, so <
that I can see if any of them have i
mine, as 1 think the people will con- <
sider the platform this time more i
than they will the man?that is in- (
telligent people. ;
1 am no politician and if I do continue
in the race I shall not sling i
any mud. I shall make a clean cut,
square race and shall not offer any
inducements to get votes Jfcther than
the best service I can gi\< t the people
as a whole, self interest being
left out of the question.
liespcctfully, A. I). Jackson.

Editor Herald. Please allow me
space in your columns for a few
dots from this place.
Itight much sickness in this community.
Hope the sick will soon
recover.
Crops are pretty good considering
so much rain.
Well, the 4th of July picnic at
Windy Hill was a grand success.
There was about live hundred that
participated, and seemed-to eninv
f , ? - '
the occasion. The Warn pep band
rendered somo very sweet, music.
I will make mention of some who attended
from a distance. Mrs. Hegy?|
from Sumter, some from Marioi*
county, Columbus county, N. C.,
find the lower part of Horry county
In fact the Fourth was pretty well
represented here from all parts of
the county.
No marriages to report at this
writing.
Rev. Rufus Ford make n pleasant
visit to this place on Saturday before
the second Sunday and delivered
an interesting sermon at Union
Va 1 ley ch urch which was errjoycd by
a good number. *
I hear there will be another picnic
at Windy Hill on the 3rd of August.
Hope there will be no one that will
be so beastly as to get under the
the influence of liquor on this occasion.
If this don't find its way to the
waste basket I will come again.

PICNIC AT MOOKES Mil.I.
A l.urxre Crowd atid of <iood
SpcakinirThe
picnic at. Moore's Mill on last
Saturday wqs a grand success. Hy
ten o'clock a large crowd had assembled
in the beautiful grove near
the end of the mill dam. Among
them were many candidates elbowing
their way. Those present made
good speeches and were given the
best of attention. Chairman S. M.
Moore introduced tirst, \\\ F. Holt
for magistrate. Next followed Hon.
U. I). Harrelson, who answered
many questions to the satisfaction
of the people relative to the court
and stock law. Then followed H. \V.
Mishoe who wanted to see one good
road in the county, he also favored
a State dispensary instead of local
option \V 11. Small made a short
speech in favor of good roads. F.
Marion Johnson for Probate Judge
made a good speech, he also answer*
ed many questions asked by E. Van
Graham. W. A. Prince for Superintendent
of Education.* was told
that ho need not speak. Ho said
ho had not come to make a speech
hut only desired to thank his friends
n?i ijiiL-ir su|)|Hin iwo years ago.
K. 1'. McQueen wanted all to vote
for him for Treasurer. Prof. C. H.
Dawsey, (not a candidate) made a
strong speceli for prohibition in
which he declared the dispensary to
be a rotten insitution. Last came
W. L. Mishoe who was not a candidate,
but said he would be in two
years.
We were soon invited to dinner
Here a long table wus found fairly
groaning under the weight of good
things to satisfy the inner man.
Surely the good women which played
an important part in adding pleasure
and happiness throughout the
day knew too well how to satisfy
the appetite of a hungry candidate.
Good order prevailed.
Cool drinks were served by the
Dawsey boys.
We would be glad to welcome the
crowd again. Sam Moore.

We are all getting awfully worried

the selection of t.ho r?
for the new court house and
jail the j>oople.have been waiting patiently
to see some tangibloevidence
of the early commencement of the
work on these buildings, and some of
the doubting or impetuous ones are
becoming somewhat restless over
what appears to them to be an unnecessary
delay on the par1 of the
commission who this work in hand.
We tf*ke it this delay, if delay it can
be termed is a favorable ground for
the belief that when the work is commenced
all plans, specifications and
arrangements will be complete even
down to the minutest detail so that
when the buildings are turned over
to the people of Horry there will be
nothing shoddy nor incomplete nor
neglected about them that would mar
their beauty or destroy the conveniences
