A (iood SiijrflTCfttloti.
The writer is uot a politician,
neither has ho ever hold any public
office, but. he does feel a deep inter
est in the welfare and prosperity of
Ilorry county. This explains wiiy J
write and make the following observations:
For the past two years our county
has had a delegation in the General
Assembly that any county could
wftit boast of with pride. Probably
it has never been surpassed by any
delegation in the history of our "Republic."
It occurs to me that wo should endeavor
to maintain this standard.
To do this we cannot afford to lose,
two of these members. We must
retain either, Mr Derham or Col
Spivey in the House. Wo understand
thiit. Sonnt.ni1 Unll!fln? ...ill
? - i*wiuuujr vv in liUl
stand for reelection. It is also announced
that neither Mr Spivey or
Mr Derham will again enter the
race for Representative, but is altogether
probable that both will be
candidates for the Senate. This I
submit will bo unfortunate indeed.
Why not let us look at this from the
county's standpoint and retain the
services of both these gentlemen,
and placo them where they logically
belong and where we need them
most? Mr Spivey has served his
two terms (usually allowed bv custom)
in the House and justly doservcs
promotion.
IIo has made an excellent representative,
is very popular, commands
ttie respect of all members of
the legislature, and has done much
in many ways for the county. With
a gentleman of his standing in the
Senate, he would further advance
the interest of the county he has
worked so faithfully to upbuild- 1
take it that there will be no further
light made on account of his efforts
in the new court house and jad, but
that all now commend him highly
for his services.
Mr Derham has served but one
term in the House and should bo re
turned practically without opposition
Send along with him a young
man that may be trained for a future
Heatesman.
In the meantime lets support Mr
Ellerbe for Congress this year, with !
the distinct understanding, however,
that two years from now wo place
Mr Dor ham in his seat at Washington.
What say you, follow citizens to
the above suggestions?

In view of the fact that the
beauty and chivalry of Horry will
assemble in Conway, and besides she
sho will entertain quests from
abroad during the dedicatory exercises
of tho Temple of Justice, would
it not ho a sort of commendation
to the progress of our pretty little
city to have the grounds surround
ing ine court house cleaned up, tho
unsightly ditches facing Third Avenue
(deaued out and graded so as to
carry oil' the stagnant water and
the bridge across tho Avenue and
tho one leading from the Avenue to
the front entrauceof tho court house
put in at least a passable conditions.
The driveways in Lakeside cemetery
have been laid off according to
the plans of the city of the dead
and plowed up, and here tho work of
improvement seems to stopped. Our
information is that this work was
done not by the cemetery com mission
of the town council, but. by a
public spirited citizen who took this
method of showing his appreciation
of the improvement of the place
where rest the revered remains of
loved ones. In this connection it
is not a betrayal of confidence in
saying that some months ago Mayor
Smith informed the Herald Man that
tho policy of tho town council was
not take once cont of tho revenue
from the sale of squares, as well as
from other sources, but that it was
to be used by tho commission in
beautifying and improving the cemetery
premises. We can't say that
the commission lias any funds at its
iisposal, the presumption is that it
ias not or t>lse the placo would present
a far different appearance from
vlial it does today. Taking this
/iow of the situation we would suggest,
and we make the suggestion
without any desire of bolngoffensive
>r meddlesome, that the citizens of
Jon way agree to place at the dispo>al
of the secretary of the commission
a stated amount, either in
noney or kind, to be used exclusivey
in the improvementof the grounds
>oth in unci outside of thoenclosure.
Accusation Denied.
Mr Editor:? Please allow mo space
,o reply to a little newsy article in
rour last weeks issue signed by Mr
s. Q Floyd, which said 1 was circulating
false reports upon him. His
itatement that I was circulatii g
die report is false. I never heaid
if tho matter until I saw his article
n the paper, and 1 immediately inpiircd
in his section if any such report
was going and his friends and
neighbors had heard nothing of it
until they saw his piece in the paper.
Therefore I ? an not seo where
the report originated.
1 have been dealing with Mr Floyd
for four years and our transactions
have always been very p'easant.
I am not answering this article
for any controversy, only want to
tell Mr Floyd and his author that
the false report is under the apple
tree. In justice to Mr Floyd, I can
say that he paid me his last year's
account in due time, and that is tho
last business we have had with him
but would sell him again as before
with one exception, which he well
uriows the reason.
