There is this much about it, and I
>f which Conway should feel proud, '
\nd that is the city has a live progressive
set of municipal officers.
SVhat they have accomplished for the J
betterment of the city is in evidence,
And what they propose doing, tbe
plans of which have already been
formulated and agreed upon, will
speak for itself when completed.
The Herald comtemplates extensive
and costly improvements in its
plant in the near future. The subscription
list is constantly growing ,
is well as the business of the job department,
and new machinery bo- '
3omes a necessity in order to handlo 1
its volume of busine*s. ]
The case of the State of South x
Carolina against the bonding company
to recover the shortago in the
office of the couuty treasurer could 1
not be reached on the docket last i
week, aud this case will likely be \
tried at the Spring term. The I
grand jury has required that the I
sase be tried as speedily as possible. '
The late heavy rains washed up 1
the trae.t of the Conway, Coast and .
Western rail road at places between
Pine Island and Myrtle Beach and
trains were stopped at the former 1
place for several days. The damage '
has been repaired and the road bed '
is in better condition now than
ever before. '
It appears that the reporter of the ,
Herald was mistaken when he made
the statement that Commander Johnson's
neck was not broken by the
drop. Circumstances, as he viewed
them, warranted him in making this <
statement, but he has been informed <
by the Sheriff that the physicians i
sav tl at his neck was broken. This
reporter cheerfully yields the point in
deference to the opinion of mort? '
ccmpentenrauthorities on such matters.
i
Work on the new jail is progress- i
ing nicely. The walls are now about i
six or seven feet above the ground
and are going up as rapidly as the ;
nature of the work will permit, i
That on the court house is also progrossing
satisfactorially. Much of
the material is on the ground; the
foundations have been dug, and as
a number of colored brick masons
came in on the afternoon train Monday
;we presume that bricklaying has
been commenced. Anyhow, it goes
without saying that no time will be
lost and that we may reasonably expect
that, barring some unpreventable
and unforseen drawback, both
buildings will be completed at the
time called for by the contracts.
The firm of Fitchett Bros , and
Conway Lumber Company are now
iuvolved in litigation. Mr. Fitchett
was furnishing the logs to the mill
under a contract for that purpose.
For reasons stated in the papers
on file, the lumber company some
weeks ago had him enjoined from
further interference with their
timber rights, and he had been held
up ever since. There was no decision
of the matter in the court last
week, but tho lumber company is
under bond for any damage ho may
sustain should tho injunction be sot
asido.
Col. D. A, Spivey was elected
Vice Prisident of State Fair Agricultural
and Mechanical Society at a
meeting held in Columbia last week.
This is quite a compliment to Col.
Spivey, who was born and raised on
a farm, and consequently takes a
lively interest in agricultural life
and encourages with his advice and
pocket undertakings for the better
ment of tho condition of Agriculture.
It is none the less an honor
to Horry because the worth of one
of her enterprising and successful
sons has been recognized, and Horry
makes her best bow in return.

Editor Herald:?As it seems our
correspondent from this neighborhood
is dead, gone visiting or out of
something to write, I thought I
would let you hear from us.
The health of the community is I
generally good.
The small crops of cotton are
about harvested and wo aie now
trying to look after our few potatoes,
corn, peas etc., though I guess
we arc greatly blessed for the services
rendered to Him who gives us
the increase.

greatest issues and it was decided in
favor of dispensary. Can wt expect
anything better than fraud in election
when the plank is made on as
rotten a thing as whiskey? Some of
the dispensary advocates say they
they do not believe in drinking or
using whiskey in any form, and
wish it (the whiskey) out of existence
Some say uso a little for medical
purposes, etc. The only question in
my mind is, it a good thing? If so
let us all get a dispensary at our
doors, so our little ones and our
wives can enjoy it. If evil, push it
as far from us as possible, let us not
vote anything to be put to our
neighbors doors, we would not ask
to bo placed at our doors. The only
thing to put whiskey in its place, is
the religion of Jesus Christ. Practice
it ohuroh members and the
whiskey question will be a thi )g of
past. J H B

WRIT.
E. J. Tyloi" and Sliujr Tyler arc
Disctiurjrcil Erom Scrvlnjr Sentence
tor Adnltry.
A few weeks before court, E. J.
Tyler and Shu# Tyler were lodged
in jail under a sentence rendered by
the court at the Spring term, on an
indictment for adnltry. E. J. Tyler
or Jack Tyler, as lie is known, was
placed in the county chain gang,
and Shug was ^jnt to the State penitentiary.
It turned out that tne defendants
had never been arrested at the
time of their trial under this charge
and at the time of the trial, they
w$ro both absent in tho State oi
Florida. Tiny were botn brought
up last week under habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Klugh and
on Saturday he signed an order discharging
them from the sentence.
There were other warrants already
in the sheriff's hands for the
arrest of Tyler, and he wafe trans
