OBITUARY.
Rev. J. S Cox, .son of John and
and Nancy Cox, was born in Columbus
county, N. C , May 29 th, 1817
and died in the same county March
18t.h, 1807. He was married May
3rd, 1843 to Miss Serena M. Butler,
of Horry count}-, with whom he lived
in the greatest peace and union
for nearly sixty-four years Lovely
and pleasant were they in life, and
in death they were not divided.
Mrs S. M. Cox, daughter of John
and Lydiu Butler, was born August
14th, 1824 and died April 24th, 1907,
rejoining her dearly beloved husband
in the better laud after a separation
of five weeks.
My pen is inadequate to portray
t.he virtues nf thi^: i?v t.rsmivlinu ne
couple. They were both converted
in early life and lived consistent
Christian lives to the day of thendeaths.
They reared a large family
in the nature and admonition of the
Lord.
May their godly counsels sin If
deep iuto|the hearts of their descendants;
mav the aroma of their consistent
lives be a beacon guiding
their children and grand-children
into the harbor of bliss.
Mr Cox was for many years a local
preacher in the M. E, church,, and
many, very many were turned from
darkness into marvelous light of the
gospel by his cogent reasoning and
persausivoeloquence, brtt more were
won by bis ever ready sympathy,
his genial smile and his sweet songs.
The poor a.id distressed ever found
true friends in this noble couple.
They were given to hospitality; their
doors were open alike to stranger
and friend.
Mrs Cox was a noted housekeeper
looking well to the ways of her
household and the heart of husband
safely confided in her.
Five brave sons and five lovelv
daughters were given them to rear
for the Lord, and nobly did they
discharge their duty One son died
at the age of twelve and one daughter,
Mrs C. C. (Sutler, of Uorrx
uuuuiy, p:isiit;u iiwuv ii't'iiny woiniiir
hood. Tin; eight children, with
thirty-six grand children and thirtythree
great grand children are left
to mourn their loss on this side of
the river, while on the other side,
nineteen grand children awaited
their coming.
Mrs f'ox leaves one brother, J. F
Butler, Hire way, N. C , and one
sister, Mrs Kllu Barnhill, of Horry
connty.
Mr Cox, the last surviving member
of a large family of thirteen
children; his lather, mother, brothers
and sisters having been waiting for
him many years. How joyfully
sweet must that reunion have oeen!
The lessons taught by their lives
are many and useful. Fidelity to
civil duty shown by the fact that Mr
Cox voted in the last elect'on.
Fidelity to Cod, evinced by their
Godly walks and conversation, unfailing
character ami genial dispositions.
Fidelity to mankind shown
by their hospitality, kindness and
love unfeined. Their friends were
numberless.
It is useless to sav that their end
was peace, their sun went down
without a cloud. Such lives as they
lived could nave but one ending.
Peace. Calmly and peacefully a*
one wrappeth the drapery of his
couch around him and heth down tc
pleasant dreams, so they make their
exit from the stage of life.
God answer their last prayer and
grant that not one of their descendants
may be missing when the roll
is called in heaven. Annie.

Tobacco (irowi'rs,
Some time ago the Herald asked
the tobacco growers of the county to
mail the acreage planted this year
to the paper, with a view of gathering
together sufficient information
to make an estimate of the urobable
crop. The following planters repot
i ed:
W. J. Hendricks, Pour acres;
Irvin Siugleton, Three acres;
hi. .1. Marsh, Three acres;
J. H. Hendricks, Three acres;
Housand John sou, Three acres;
G. Edwards, Pour acres;
W. D. Woodward, Three acres;
W. P. Hardee & Bro., Three acres;
J. J. E Harrelson. Pour acres;
S. D. Anderson. Pive acres;
S. W. Vaught, Three acres;
R. M. Little, One acre;
H. Torppkins, Pour acres;
N. J. Booth, Seven acres.
This lacks much of giving us the
information we wanted, but we have
published the names of those who
responded in the hope that others
will be stimulated to send in the information.
There are many others
who are planting tooacco this year
and the Heralil would be glad to
know who they are and how many
acres they are planting.

Mr Editor:-?Will you please allow
me space in your columns to replv
to the correspondent from Ourley in
regards to the question I asked some
time ago? I asked the question:
Who was Cains wife, and in his
answer he seems to be of the opinion
that lie married his sister, or halfsister.
He referred me to Gen. 5-H,
saying that Adam in his long life
begat. many sons and daughters, and
there could be but little doubt that
Cain married one of these numerous
daughters. In reply to his answer,
I will refer him to Gen 4th chapter
aud read it caretullv, and see ii
Cain was not married before Adam
begat ihese numerous sons and
daughters. Seth was the third child
of Adam and Cain was certainly
married before Seth was born. He
said that as late as the time of Abraham.
that Patriarch, married his
half sister. 1 reckon that Abraham
was the patriarch he had reference
to. 1 want to ask him if Abraham V
wife was his sister in flesh and blood
or was she hi- sister in spirit. Abraham
said: "Yet indeed she is my
sister. She is the daughter of my
father but not the daughter of my
mother, and she became my wife."
Hid Christ in any of his speeches and
teachings ever claim to be the mother
of any one? No! it was always
father, therefore they were both
children of Christ; brothers and
sisters in spirit That is my honest
opinion, though 1 may be mistaken.
1 don't write this to inash any ones
toe> whatever, 1 only express my
opinion in regard to his answer.

lave a chance to prove whether she
wants a tobacco market here or not. i
Mr Glenn is said to be one of the

he proper suppoit of our business
ample, and the tobacco planters in
ihecouuty, he will succeed in building
a market here. In a communication
he says: ''I am coming
anions you to do a reasonable
ju&iness and by hard work and fair
ind honorable dealing to build a good
market. The consummation of this
would help all citizens of your section
and town, iu consideration of
which I hope to have the cordial cooperation
and support of vourself
and all your citizens."
This is well said and to the point

word of it. Friends of the enterprise

The article of J Lewis Leo in the
last issue of the Herald voices oui
sentiments. There is redress for
the growers of strawberries provided
they organize, thoroughly. It
is very evident that the railroads?
have no sympathy ior the farmer?
and are only in business for the
loaves and fishes. Not only should
the berry growers become interest,
but our members of the Legislature
und all our business men should come
together and not allow the railroads
10 practically crush an enterprisf
which has done so mbch for Horry.
We hope that Mr Lee will keep up
the tight till something is accomplished.
Those interested should present
a solid front.

plished already. Any movement that ;

conditions socially, morally and ti- i
uauciaHy should receive the encour- I
agement of every law abiding eitl- ,i
zen. The law and order league of
Conway has a hard problem to solve,
but the members are very determined
and are influential. Members
told your scribe to just watch re
suits as there would be something
doing in the near future as the illicit
sale of whiskey had to stop.
As every one knows the price o*
fertilizers has steadily advanced
since the Virginia Carolina Chemical
Co. has had control of the situation.
We would like very much to
see a cotton seed oil mill established
in Conway to bo owned and controll
ed by Horry capital independent of
the trust. It should be run for the
benefit of the farmer and not as a
money making scheme. If such
men as D A Spivey. J A McDermott
and W L Mishoe would take hold of
the enterprise the necessary capita)
would soon be subscribed and wean
>ure that it would mean much for
the prosperity of the Horry farmer
as it would be very convenient for
tbem to exchange their seed for
