lot on which the old court li iiiso now

fact that the city is in t.eed of
offices and c >unoil chunibcr of its
own, besides the progress of llie city
demands an opera house, or other
place where amusements of all kinds
can bo enjoyed If Conway is to
stand still, never m ike a si ?d for
ward in the march of progress, then,
in that event, this lot and thi city
ball would he superfluous, because
inactivity is stagnation and stagnation
is decay and decay is death,
hence it would be the crowing act of
folly, the extravagant waste of public
funds to make any investment
looking to the permanent improvement
of both public and private
propery, or to make any provision
tending toward tho advancement of

prosperity of the citizen. 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

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

David G. Farrngut ?vus but thirteen
years oM wlu-u be served as midship- i
man under I'orter In the battle of the
Essex against the l'hoelie and Cherub.
He was taken to the I'hoebe as n prift- i
oner of war, says his biographer, and <
came aboard crying from mortification. 1
At the same moment, however, a Pritlsh
middy also came alongside with ft
youug pig in his arms. j (
"A prize! A prize!" he was shouting. |
"TTo, boys, n tine gruntcr!" j i
It was a pig that had been n pet In |
the steerage of the IOssex, where it was |
called Murphy. Farrngut nt once claim- i
ed it as private property. i
"You are a prisoner, and your pig, i
too," replied the Ilritish middy.
"We always respect private proper- i
ty," said Furragut, grabbing the pig !
and determined to hold 011 till forced to '
surrender.
"Go it. little Yankee!" cried the oldsters
present. "If you enn thrash
Shorty you shall have your pig."
A ring was formed, and Shorty came
at Fnrrngut hammer and tongs, but the
American was handy with his fists.
He quickly laid ids opponent low. The
Prltlsh bluejackets cheered 1dm heartily,
and the pig was declared to be bis.

self. Through an error he was reported
dead, and the newspapers of his
native land deelared unanimously thut
he had loft no good work behind. An j
American editor dined with Daring- {
Gould In London. The talk turned to
the premature obituaries, and the
American said, "How did you feel on
reading them?" Taken aback, non- j
plused, the novelist grimly replied: ,
"1 felt like a lady who owned a parrot.
This lady's cook came to her one (
moral.ig In joyful excitement. 'Oh. |
ma'am,' she cried, 'the parrot has learn- (
ed some new words.' 'Good,' suld the
lady. 'That bird Is wonderfully teachable.
It sits and drinks In every
blessed word my husband says to mo.
What does it say now?' 'It keeps (

to give himself some credit for having |

The Oldest Dank Note*. I
The oldest hank notes In the world <
are the "flying money," or convenient ,
money, first Issued In China In 2(197 B. \
O. Ono writer tells that the ancient |
Chinese bank notes were In many respects
similar to those of the present
day, bearing the name of the bank, the
date of Issue, the number of the note, |
the signature of the official who Issued
It and Its value In both figures ]
and words. On the top of these curl- ,
ous notes was the following plillosoph- ,
lc Injunction: "Produce all you can;
spend with economy." The note was
printed In blue Ink on paper made \
from the fiber of the mulberry tree.
One of these notes bearing the date
1899 B. O. Is still preserved In the Asiatic
museum at St. Petersburg.
The Rqulnoxet. 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."

CORN PLANTING.
Proper Depth In Vnrlunn Soli*?In
View of Dronurlit.
By C. P. HARTLEY.
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. I have heard people talk
about the "golden hoof" of the sheep,
hut a hen has diamonds In her claws.
No animal leaves ground in better condition
than the hen, remarks II. W. CI
hn Rural New Yorker.
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

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.
The good garden furnishes for the
table food of medicinal and tonic virtues,
put up in nature's free laboratory
and worthy of all tho praise so freely
showered upon proprietory medicines.
Intelligence ami dJNgeuce mean success
in gardening, and If . happy fortune
adds to their natural aptitude the
gardener will travel a smooth and
nlensunt rnnd
The rapid development of weeds In
May Is very deceptive to the amateur
In gardening. A crop of onions, beets,
parsnips or other vogetable may ap
pear to be easily manageable, bnt with
a few days of rain the crop that could
have been easily cultivated on, say,
the 10th, Is terribly overgrown by the
25th. ^ , ,
