Fences and Shade Trees, Could not be Readily Known. On last Saturday tho people congratulated themselves on having in the air a real touch of the coolness I or autumn, and everybody felt bet- ! tor. lty Saturday nijjlit there were still clouds and now and ? breeze cooler that usual. On^ri(e\ (lay it was stili cloudy and by midday night the wind bad increased in i volume and vc'oeity. On Monday < morning there were 'out a few wbo i were looking for a storm, but by : nine o'clock the wind was blowing a perfect gale. This high wind last- ! cd until in the afternoon when it moderated. Shade tree.; all over the town went i clown pretty much as they did in the I September storm of year before last ! Fences fell around nearly every lot j The sidewalks and streets at places 1 were blocked with the trees and oth-' i or debris by the time the gale mod- j erated. j< The negro Methodist church was\ twisted on the blocks as it was years ago The houses of Peter] Ilemmingway and Ilenj. Suggs, two colored men, were blown down. Af- j I ter the storm it was said that all of ; the 'phones of Conway Telephone Co , were out of service except three 1 which happened to bo in nearby buildings. < The new School building was un- s roofed by the storm Monday and a 1 portion of two ehiinncvs demolished. Part of the livery stables of Oliver i & Flliott was blown out and the horses turned out. i A portion of the kitchen attached \ to the residence of Mr. T. F. Kimhall was demolished. The north side of the buggy house of Dr. II. II, Burroughs was blown < down More or less damage was done to i property in every section of the i town. ON T11K COAST Two schooners were stranded during the storm in the vicinity of Singletons Swash. One the "Ethel" of Eli/.abethport, N.J., bouud from 1 Charleston to New York with a cargo of lumber, foundered about 1 o'clock. Cap . Albertson and the Steward were both drowned. The rest of mi; LIUVV, 111 IIUIIIUCI HJUgllb for their lives through the racing sur; and gained the shore. They arrived in Conway 011 Tuesday afternoon, and their appearance plainly 1 showed the horrors they had endured. The schooner had no cargo and was bound for Charleston She was thrown high on the beach without breaking up, and the crew were still aboard of her Tuesday. Myrtle Beach suffered severely. Some ten or more houses were blown down or'damaged The damage is estimated at $10 000. DAMAGE IN the COl N'i V. The damage to open cotton and the friut trees throughout the county was very great and there is hardly a farmer who did not lose heavily. The damage to cotton is known to bo great but cannot be estimated. The damage to the property of Eddy Lake Cypress Co., is estimated at $25,000 00. STORM FRAGMENTS. The loss by the storm of Monday, falls heavy upon the poor farmers. To what proportion we cannot say at this writing. The time is opportune for the organization of a civic league with the object in view of beautify the streets of Conway, This is woman's work and they should see that such an organization is perfected. Calamities comes upon the just and unjust alike. Saint and sinner suffered from the effects of the storm Monday, All or nearly all, the manufacturing plants in and around Conway shut down Monday on account of the storm. Notwithstanding the storm of Monday the trains made their usual runs?coming in and going out on schedule time, except the freight from Chadhourn. which was dclavcd several hours. Conway now wears the appearance of the shorn giant?shorn of much of its luxuriant foilatfe and boautiful ornamental and shade trees, but strong in the determination to replace therft with still more beautiful ones. James W. Ogifvie, the faithful v ^ foreman and assistant editor of this V paper has been laid up for several days with a severe case of La Grippe, "V and as a insult the Herald is short its usual amount of local reading matter.

Editor Herald?Will you be so It'nil as to allow me space for a few Iiiii's in your most valuable paper, is it has been quite a while since there has been any thing out from here. 1 am L'lad to say that the health 3* this community is improving some is there has been much sickness here. Cotton picking is in order just now, but the average is small. We arc glad to see cooler and dryer weather as there has been an abundance of rain this season. Mr. Geo Causee of Daisy was here bliis week. :vir. Sarvis of Dillon, is having a dwelling erected near here. Messrs. D. It. and J. M. Royals, of Eldorado, passed here sometime ago. Mr. I. S. Faulk of this place, has recently left for Dillon. We hope that the men elected for county oflicers will make a good ' record and have a clean sheet at the i close of their service and do honor I for themselves and their county as well. It. hnllnrml lli.it tlm n" f ? w ? t iv/? VM biiau uuu iiwil/UVJU law will bo brought on us in the near future. There is no doubt but that it would be some better f3r some of the wealthiest farmers of Horry, but just look if you please 1 at the large acres of lands that have never been cultivated, it would with out a doubt finally ruin some sec- 1 tions of this county. It is true and 1 the fact is appreciated by good men, that we do not need the no-fencelaw in Ilorry for a good number of years yet. We are sorry to hear of the severe illness of Mrs. 1). A. Collins of Och loch nee, Ga. and her son. Mrs. Thcrsa Stevens is improving some after being sick nearly the wliole season. G. C Skipper has recently been appointed postmaster here and has moved the post office to his residence, lie has been appointed successor to Mr. G. L. Stevens Will close with best wishes to the Herald and its many readers. Cmore. DEATH OF LITTEE CORA EEE. A Beautiful Bud Plucked on Earth f to Bloorn In lle^en.

There are several new enterprises talked of for Conway in the near future. Head the monthly statement of Supervisor Holt in reference to the expenditures of his office for the month of August. The new municipal ollicers have Ljone to work in a business like way to improve the condition of the town. Health and sanitary conditions will probably be the first interest to receive attention. The best pay in# enterprise for the investment of capital today in Conway is a cotton factory in connection with an oil mill. The field is invitingand worthy of investigation. The investment is gilt edge and the jividends largo and sure.
