MONDAY'S STQ7J$?
TilH CI.OUDY Wr:/\T?ir:R OF LAST
SUNDAY TURNS INTO STORM
BY MONDAY.
lireat Damage was Done to tlic <
Telephone Lines, and tlie F;xtcnt
of DamaKC to Crops. 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

days with a severe case of La Grippe,

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.

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.

DEATH OF LITTEE CORA EEE.
A Beautiful Bud Plucked on Earth
f to Bloorn In lle^en.
Sweely fell asleep in the arms of
Jesus on Tuesday of last week, at
the home of her parents, in this city,
Cora, the bright and interesting lit
tie daughter of Mr. and Mrs. U. L.
Lee, after an illness of about a da>,
in the fourth year of her age. Her
stay in this world of sickness and
death was brief, but as brief as
as that sweet, happy young life
was, she endeared herself to her
circle of friends by her amiable disposition
and her kind and forgiving
nature. She was the joy of mother's
heart and the pride of father's love
The ferment was in Lakeside
cemetef11* The bereaved parents
have til? sympathy of the entire
community.

at Conway had dropped down to
110, and l*\ M. Johnson's had in reased
twenty votes. There were
dmnges at other places which together
with the change at Conway
nit Johnson ahead hy about HO votes.
John llolt. tiled a protest and made
irrangemonts to contest the elcciou
on the afternoon of Thursday.
)n Friday morning F. Marion John>011
decided that he would withdraw
rom the race and have nothing further
to do with the matter. This
will relieve the committee from a
recount of tho votes, and they are
loubtless glad, for it means t wo or
three days work, for which there is
10 pay whatever. In this issue of
the paper is a table showing the official
tabulation of the votes, and
20mparing this with the table pubished
last week, any reader can sec
the changes made by the oflieial tabillation.
Tlio olllcial count did not change
the results for IIousc of Representatives
and Supervisor.
Many of those who loft homo in
search of health found sickness in a
strange land and among strangers.
Correspondents are invited to send
in their communications. Cct them
mako their department an interesting
toaturo of the Herald each week.
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.
The election is over and the excitement
incident thereto has settled
ilown to normal conditions, therefore,
let us give our time, our talents
and our energies to making the future
of Horry and Conway glorious
indeed.
Mr. 'A It. Johnson, a prominent
carpenter, died at his residence in
this place Tuesday morning and was
buried yesterday. He had been in
feeble health for some time prior to
his death. lie has long been a respected
resident of this town.
Neither fire or earthquake, flood

Todd is the pastor and Rev. MoK
King helped him in the protract- *
ed meeting. We had the grandest
revival that has ever been here since
I can remember. Our church has
been a little cold for a good while
but (iod grant that she may over
grow and flourish like the ever green
tree by the river side. We prayed
unto Him who kuowoth best that
we might have a good meeting, and
he poured his blessings on the
church. There were twenty who
connected them''Ives with the
church The**' \vu-; about ton conversions
an 1 were one of them.
