I BWk .j ...> 1| VOL. XX. > INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. MR. F. A. BURROUGHS TO IMPROVE STREET NEAR SNOW HILL. 0 _____ Dividing- the Properties of Mrs Addle Burroughs and Mr. Arthur Burroughs---It is to be Widened and Sewage Pipe Laid. Work to t>eCommenced at Once' There is going to b e lively times in Conway during the next twelve months along the line of internal improvements. Already coming events are beginning to cast their shadow before, and these vauue and indefinite shadows are t^Cpnning to assume form and shape which foretell us that the people arc alive to the importance of doing something toward making the appearance of Conway attractive to the stranger within her gates as well as a desirable j>lace in which to live from the standpoint of business and health, as well as from social and moral eon ditions, and there are movements on foot, it may be they are only in soak just at this time, but they are in evidence nevertheless, which, when carried to completion^ will make old Couway a growing an/ progressive city. Just now it is the purpose of the Herald to mention only one of the many improvements contemplated in the near future, because this one is no longer guess work neither, is it a surmise, hut an actual livinc fact aud the carrying out of which means the beginning of other improvements either by individuals or >*' as a corporation. Mr. Frank A Burroughs has asked the permission of the municipal authorities to lay a line of pipes along the Street, from where it intersects viih Tenth avenue to Kingston lake. He proposes to close the deep and unsightly ditches on both sides, and to widen and otherwise improve it. Already a row of poplar trees have been set out on both sidos of the street and are growing as nicely as could be ex E>ected. All of these improvements o will make at his own expense, the only thing he asks is the permission to do so. This has been granted with the right reserved by tho municipal authorities to tap these pipes whenever and wherever it becomes necessary for the use of tbo sewerage system of the town, when put in, which doubtless will be done as soon as the bonds are sold. We aro reliably informed that the improvements of this street will be commenced immediately after the holidays are over and business settles down to normal conditions, This work will doubtless be an incentive for others to improve the streets aud avenues upon whioh their property faces, and if this is done, which ought to be the result, Conway will soon wear a different appearance than it now does. The Burroughs property in that portion of the town is most admirably adapted for residential purpose. It is high and level, with a natural drainage on all sides, consequently healthy, and if this property is ever cut up into lots and placed on the market it will become to be the prettiest and most populous part of the town, but, however, as it is the improvements contemplated there are in the right direction, and Mr. Burroughs is to be commended in undertaking them.

For the past few da3's the boys have been \oiy busy preparing for the Christmas examinations. The principal topic of conversation has been them The words "Wonder will I pass?" have been very common among the students. The last examination was given Friday morning, after which the boys ieft for their respective homes to" spend the Christmas holidays. The railroad company furnished a special train to take the Wofford boys to Columbia. Tnll t'iro jo ill voniwn nn t.t?o nf January. Boys are expected to be here on the 2nd. The writer is from Ilorry and loves his county, but has decided to spend his short Christmas holidays in Spartanburg. All the other boys from Horry who are attendiug Wofford have gone home, excepting Watus Dawsey, who will remain in the city. It is told that when one of the Horry boys, who had retired for the evening, was informed that he could co home the next day, got up and prepared himself for this long desired journey (of course the train wasn't due until the uext day at 10:30.) He wanted to see 44 Pa" and "Ma" and didn't intend to be left. I am very glad to know of the increased interest in education that Horry has taken. Hope her representation will be large in WctTard next year. 1 don't think any father could make a mistake by placinc his boy in the care of this great institution, as long as such men as Drs. Carlisle and Suyde** ha\ e it in charge. Many country schools do not prepare boys for college. Where that is the case, a most excellent preparatory course can be found in Woll'ord College Fitting school, which is under the wise management of Prof, A. M. Dupree. The boundry of WofTord is very great. Tt has boys here from every county in the State and also mauy southern states are represented. It does not stop hero but reaches to the Islands of the sea. and takes in two Japanese. The writer would like to pause long enough here to explaiu something of th character of these two Japanese students. If these two boys are a fair representation of the Japanese race, then there is no wonder at the great progress that this race has made. We at once can see the reason why they were so successful in the late war with Russia. These students have become Christians since coming to America, and now are of the purest character. They are very bright and industrious and stand high in their classes. They are highly respected by the faculty and student body. After completing their education, they will return to their native country as missionaries. I was very glad to have the pleasure of seeing Messrs. Baker, Martin and Hooks, all of Clemson College, as they passed Spartanburg Friday evening, to spend the Christmas holidays. The Baptist State Convention meet here some time ago. This was a great treat worthy of taking in. The talk of Mr. Taj lor, a returned Missionary from Brazil was very interesting and instructive. The writer would be pleased if the different correspondents over the county would move up a little. Let us hear from you more often. Will not some one take the place of the deceased correspondent at Nixonville? A merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the Herald readers. Student. Hon. R 13 Scarborough was away on business several days last week,| returning home on Saturday, I have just in a cur load of good horses and mu'es. Now is the time to buy. 6. B. Jenkins.

THXJRS CHRISTMAS HAPPENINGS. j 1 STRANGE HAPPENINGS OF THE 1 HOLIDAY JUST OVER--ONE I HARD TO EXPLAIN. 1 t A Man la Shot In the Eye With a 1 Roman Candle A Lady Serioualy Hurt by a Fall - - -A Drunk Nerro Is Found In the Drujr Store Unable to Explain How He Got There. There were no really serious accidents during Christmas, but somt were painful, and some hard to explain. The following are some of them. A two wheel cart and lot of rubbish was piled up in front of W. 1C Uritt's store, and the front of the stores of the other merchants wore variously ornamented with odds and ends. The Christmas tree at the old School house was largely attended and many received nice presents, while others were not so fortunate however the crowd was in a good humor and every thiug passed olT pleasantly. : i Mr. Ludford, who is in charge of ' the lumber camps of Kanawha Luni- 1 ber Corporation at Cocl Spring, ' was firing oft' a Uotr.an candle, hold iug it vory carefully and trying to avoid an accident, but the end he 1 was holding in his hand bursted and ' he was shot in the eye. He had to ! call in a physician, Mrs. Bunch, a lady boarding at Vereen hotel, slipped on icy steps on Christmas day ond sustained painful bruises from the fall. She was not 1 seriously hurt, but had to call a physician . 1 Dr. C. J. Epps closed the drug store about 4 o'clock fastening up all the doors and windows and leaving no one in the store. When he returned later in the evening, he found a drunk negro lying with his head under the soda fountain as if he were seeking soda water with which to 1 temper off. The negro could not explain how he got in the store, and no one seems to know. The boys p'ayed the usual tricks on Main street on Christmas eve 1 i /?V\4 fPhrt /\'/l oa r% 4 h a o 4 a?*a a f ! ii i^; ii i. inu u vi naiu at uuu oiuiv; ui W. R. Lewis was rolled into the side-walk. There was a great pile of old rubbish, carts, and like stuff in front of Spivey Mercantile Company, blocking the way. Old chicken coops were lying in the street. The city authorities had a long list of names to be tried for violation of the ordinance against shooting lirecrackers on the street Some fellow got a long H^njan candle Christmas night and shot balls of lire into the front porch of the Commercial hotel the residence of the Mayor. ? i ? Revival Meetinirs. Editor Herald:?I will say to the readers af the dear old Herald that I am still in the Master's work. I closed a meeting some time ago at Maple Baptist church with ten conversions and sixteen additions tojthe church. From there I went to Good Hope where we had a good meeting and at this meeting there were forty-three conversions, and twentyfive were for baptism. I am now at Bethlohem, nine miles from Conway, on the road leading from Conway on Oog Bluff, I commenced on Sunday night and at this time (Wednesday morning) there have been sixteen conversions and seventeen additions to the church. We thank God, people are being saved. Oh! may we as Christians in the Waccamaw Association lift up our prayers to God for the salvation of unsaved men and woman. I want to say to the committee that was appointed at the Association to AKRist the Hcv. Mp.Cn.ins t.n attend school aud collect all ycu can for him, and all who pledged to send in what can be raised to Bro. J. C. Spivey the treasurer, of the Association, at once. Wo want the funds to go to Bro. Spivey, so we can get Bro McCains in school. All who will assist this worthy young man to prepare himself to preach the gospel, send something to Bro. Spivey for him. May God bless the Editor of the dear old Horry Herald. We feel proud of our paper as it is the best in the State for the price. With best wishes to all, I remain J. Davis Harrclson. Dec. 12, 1906.

For the past several 3 ears Clem>011 College has been sending to the most important places in the State, that is, where it was thought the 1 greatest good could bo accomplished, a car containing spocimens of some of the most important work ilone by the students of the college, and along with this car it has sent out several of its professors, experts in mechanism, in the dairy, in agriculture, in stock raising and other indnstrics taught at this college, who lecture upon the branches over which they preside Heretofore, this car, and these iectures have been of much interest and profit to those farmers who have taken the time and trouble to visit it and hear them. The car is a little minaturc world within itself, for here is seen the finished article produced from the raw material, and the lectures instruct those as to the manner of production as well as other matters concerning scientific as well as practical agriculture. This car and those professors wore here in Conway the first part of this year, but bo it said, not the indifference of our people, however, but for the lack of sufficient notice and pub- * licity, but few of the farmers of Horry availed themselves of the oppor- f turity of learning something useful .....1 f Iw.l ...n..L1 1: . il I.. llUU tUcll WUUIU UUIHMJl liUUiH III Mil/ing the problem of how to live at * home and board at the same place.
