This is sound logic that cannot be successfully controvered. Hut no. Tt is the hopo of the future, and not with past events that Conway has to deal. Vhat has been accomplished in the A"ay of development and achievement is, for all practical purposes, a dead issue, and can bo legitimately used only in the sense of a stimulus to encourage us to greater achievements in the hope that greater re suits may follow our efforts. From a . business view Conway Is too favorably situated to even entertain the thought.of stagnation for a moment. With a prosperous back country, vhich is growing more thrifty and populous and prosperous each day, from which to draw trade and the more trade increases the inoro will Conway grow; therefore, it is but the exercise of wisdom and sound judgment, based on correct business principles for the city authorities to arrange, as far as the revenues in sight will permit, for providing for some of the modern conveniences demanded b}' the spirit of the times and the greatest demand just now, as the Herald soes it is a nice city hall,on the old court house square. Nothing shows the progress of a town better than the improved appearance of its buildings. New buildings in Conway are now quite different looking structures from those erected ten or twenty years ago. Additions have been made to many improving their appearance greatly and each new building that is erected in the business portion of Conway is an improvement over the old ones. The new court house will have fire proof vaults for safely keeping n?iKl!/? maa/NM/1 ? mi?? ?1 1 * v..v> ^uuiiv; icwius xneru snouiu oe provided also a modern system of filing away the papers in those offices where many papers are filed, so that any particular document may be found at a moment's uotice. Accommodations of this kind are sadly lacking in the present offices and valuable time is often lost in searching or an important paper. Some work that was very much needed was done last week by the town force on Laurel street,along the the drains which spring water from the hill had gathered during the summer. There is never a time when the water is not springing out of the hill, and without constant attention it will become a breeding place for mosquitoes again. No man with any county pride about him is sorry that Horry county is to have a new court house; not even he who voted against it a few years ago ParruKut'* PI*. David G.

I "The popular belief that storms are more frequent about the time of the equinox, or when 'the sun crosses the line' In March and September, receives some slight degree of support from the Investigations of European , scientists," states an expert of the weather bureau. "In southwestern Europe March Is the stormiest month, wnue in tlio British Islands and Norway January takes the lead In that respect; but, considering Europe as a whole, It appears that storms preponderate near the seasons of the equinoxes."

Tho proper depth to plant corn must bo governed by the quality and moisture of the soil. If It Is a stiff, heavy day, containing plenty of moisture at plantiug time, an Inch Is sufficiently leep, but If It Is a light, open, dry soil three or four Inches Is u satisfactory [lepth. If the corn Is planted deeper tluui four Inchon much of the food supply stored In the seed will be consumed before the young plant can reach the surface and expand Its leaves. Plants cauuot be made to send their roots deeply Into the soil by planting the seed deeply. They can hotter ho fortified against dry weather by planting the seed In a furrow, covering It dightly and then gradually cultivating the furrow full of soli as the plants grow. This requires some eare, however, as the furrow should not he filled to any great depth until tho plants have attained a height of a foot or more and are In a vlgorons condition. This method of planting Is especially adapted to leep soils, where dry weather Is likely ro prevail during the middle or latter part of the growing season. Diamond* In Her Glnwu. We have found It a wise plan after keeping chickens In one place for some pears to move them to fresh ground inul use the abandoned yard for garden or fruit.

Siiraylng (He Potato For Dlislit. Spray with bordeaux mixture when potato plunts are five or six Inches high. Repeat every two or tbrco weeks until the latter part of August or as long as It seems necessary. Vines should bo closely watched In warm, muggy weather following rain, and If not well covered with bordeaux mixture thoy should be sprayed again. IN THE GARDEN In flower gardening on a small scale the best results are ohtulued by attempting only a few varieties. In small places all planting should be done so as not to crowd or reduco In any way the size of the lawn space. Avoid planting anything In the center of the lawn. This always foreshortens the distance. Cultivate the garden once a week or oftener in dry weather to the depth of not more than an Inch. A good way to get'rid of dandelions in lawns Is to cultivate in the family a proper respect for dandelion salad. Wheel hose and hand cultivators will hr? fnunrl lluAfnl In tlm umnll crmvUm As soon as you have harvested a row of any crop or even a considerable portion of one put something Into the place at once. "Green things growing all the time" should be the garden motto.
