> VOL XXII. wurn Overseer Favors the Bond "Issue* WILLING T(f PHY MONEY. overseer is Enthusiastic Over the Proposed Bond Issne for Improving the Public Roads of Horry by a Bond Issue of $100,000 and Wllllnjrto Supplement the Fund From Private Sources. The Herald:?I see that Mr Stanley did uot get a letter that I sent him to Columbia. I did write him aud gave you a copy. In regard to issuing bonds to build roads I will say that I think it the only possible way to get good roads. The roads -/ed so much done to them that a lax to do it would break us all. up but by issuing bond* the cost is not felt and the bonds could be paid back a little at a time. I think, however, that where a road is built, that the property through which 1 runs, say a mile or soon either side, should bave a special assessment to cover a portion of the cost, say 25 per cent. As to myself and neighbors wc are all willing to pay i .'aos _ * uuui fiu i>u u year ior a nrstclass road from Conway out. There is no tax that can be levied on a.farmer that is so heavy as a poor road. Ten years ago when I came here the farmers talked about good roads suid they did not care about good roadi, as they could go anywhere with their ox and cart, and if the road was not good they could turn out and go in the woods. A wonderful advance has been made by the farmers of the county in that time, now they have mules, buggies and wagons, disc-harrows and mowing machines, and if they will keep advancing in the same stride for the next ten years who can predict their condition, Farmers, how. ever, all over the south must be farmers, not simply planters. They must stop buying western corn, Ktkir nnH mnnt- n-'J ' 11 - , uuj uuu went uuu ruisc li 10601' : selves and not plant so much cotton aqd they will bfe better off. Buying .supplies to raise cotton with is a jnighty risky business, or rather ' no business at all. Well, I have gotten off my subject of good roads, but good roads and a prosperous farmer make a country good, so lets all vote to issue these bonds and let them get machines to make the roads and men who know how to build them right, and after they are made it is very easy to keep them up and in one year each man ought to have had so much benetit out of the improvement that he will be amply iJl e ?* - - - reyuiu jut wnatever it costs him. I am satisfied 1 wilh Overseer. m m Asktfor a Special Term. A petition signed by the members of the bar was sent in a few days ago to Chief Justice Pope asking ihim to order a special term of court for Horry county to begin on April 19th. The petition has been grant. ed and the court ordered to be held . on that day. Hon Robert Aldrich, who was prevented from holding the regular term on account of illness will be the presiding judge. For ?aaany years past the dockets of the ,t>ourts in Horry county have been corov^ed with cases that could not ;be ffftd on account of lack of time to try them. The special term which ;is to begin on April 19th will last 'two weeks and there is no reason why the old cases cannot be fully disposed of. Tobacco as a Money Crop. There are many farmers in Horry county who say they are going to plaut tobacco this year as a money cron. In nearlv #?vai*v afl^unn i- ----7 vr? the county the young plants are beginning to spring from the beds in which they were sown in February. The management of the Horry TotTt^ b Warehouse states that they expect to make a bigger fight than ever to get good buyers and insure the farmers good prices for the weed. The merchants of the town have been taking too little interest In the advancement of the tobacco industry at Conway. They might learn somewhat of a leason even from the business men of Loris. . Box Supper. There will be a box supper at the Sanford school houee next Saturday night We invite the girls to come and bring boxes and boys to bring plenty of money. We will also have a cake walk. Many thanks to tbe people who helped us out before, u> We invite them to come back again? We want good behavior .and no drinking. School Boy. Next Saturday the 20th is the day -appointed to meet at Bayboro church for the purpose of cleaning off the graveyard and feocing same. Everybody is invited to come and help. \ j . ' *'/ i* '* jhr f I Repeal of Lien Law Effective January 1st, I9IO. The act of the legislature which has repealed the lien law will not go into effect until January 1st, 1910. Somfe of the farmers with whom we havfc talked state that the worst trouble will be in the purchase of the fertilizers. The farmers need the fertilizer in the early part of the year in order to prepare for their crops, while under the common law | a rarmer can mortgage his crop after it is up and growing. This fact will not be of much benefit to our farmers for the reason that they will need the advances for fertilizer long before the crops are even planted. Missionary Rallies. April being foreign mission month in the Waccamaw Association, arrangements are being made to hold missionary rallies in different sections of the Association in the interest of foreign missions. The object of these meetings are to create a missionary spirit among our people and get them to see the importance of evangelizing the heathen world. The following meetings have been arranged: Greenwood, Sunday April 4th. Good Hope, Sunday April 11th. Conway, Sunday April 18th. Antioch, Sunday April 18th. Bethlehem, Sunday April 25th. Tilley Swamp, Sunday April 25th, | v^tner cnurcnes are arranging to have rallies but the date has not been settled on. They will be added to the list next week. We hope that all who are interested will attend these meetings and do all they can to make them a success, and we beg those who are not interested to attend so as to become interested. We also urge upon our pastors to bring this all important matter before their people at every service during the month and give them an opportunity to contribute. J. C. Spivey, V-President, For Waecamaw Association. Conway Epworth League. The regular business meeting of the Conway Chapter was held at the parsonage Monday evening, March 15th. Reports from all departments and committees were very encouraging. Our league is a thrivlug one, and while composed of the young people of the church, it has the backing and loyal support of the older members. The District League Conference of the Marion District was invited to hold its annual meetiug with the Conway League this spring. It is coming, of course?people oome to Conway every time they get a chance. The District officers inform us that this conference will be held the third week in April 14, 15, 16. It is the J i? - ? .U- I u?9irH ui me uonway i;napier that each charge within the bounds of the Marion District be well represented. We hope the pastors of these charges will bring this matter before their young people at once and whether they have a League Chapter or not, try and get representatives from all churches. We want them to come, we assure them a welcome. We are earnestly praying God for the most profitable gathering of young people ever held in the Marion District. Let all tinse who expect to attend send in their names early to Mr W. Percy Hardwicke, Chairman Entertainment Committee. W. B. King, Secretary. M E. Baraca Claaa. The annual business meeting of the Baraca Class of the M, E. church was held in their class room Monday evening. The following officers were elected for the year: H. L. Buck, president; R W. Lane, vice president; R. C. Hunter, secretary; Rufus Lewis, treasurer; R. B. Scarborough, teacher; A. E. Goldfinch, assistant teacher. The various committees necessary to the management of the class were appointed. Much enthusiasm was manifested and although our class motto was not mentioned it was plainly manifest that each member present, and ' the attendance was good, felt the magic influence of those three little words?-Wi Do Things. It was unanimously decided to support an orphan at the Epworth Orphanage, < and various questions were discus sed leading 'toward more efficient 1 work In this great branch of Sunday < school work.

C., THURS "SlUMBEfiLftHD. A. Mammoth Musical Ex travaganza. TO BE PRESENTED HERE. Mr Harry Foot* Has Consented to Present Slumbtrland, a Successful Musical Exirsvacanza. for the (Benefit of Burroughs Graded School-One Hundred and Fifty People In the Cast-Will be Presented About Aorll ! Horry people will soon be given an opportunity to witness one of the most successful musical extravaganza now before the music loving people, Mr Harry Foote, the sole owner, having consented at the solicitation of some of the friends and patrons of the Burroughs Graded school to present this mammoth musical extravanganza at the Auditorium for the benefit of that school, The cast here will require 160 neo pie and some of Conway's talented young people will take part, and to this end they are faithfully aud enthusiastically rehersing their parts so as to faultlessly present the play ! in all its beauty and to faithfully portray the characters they represent and along this lino they are making satisfactory progress. This extravaganza has been presented in many of the larger cities and towns of this country and wherever it has been it has met with remarkable success and press and people are unstinted in their praise of it. Only a few weeks ago it was brought oft at Wilmington and the press of that city all declare that nothing like it had ever been seen there before. The interest was so great that on the morning that sale of reserve seats was put on people waited in the rain from about 2 am., until the oftied, was opened to get their pick of seats and in their mad rush a handsome and costly plate glass window was smashed and it required the constant presence of a half a dozen policemen to keep the crowd in line. The box receipts there amounted to $1,700 Prof Mitchell writes: "It is gratifying to those who know Mr Foote and are acquainted with "Slumberland" to welcome him to Conway. His wide experience and success has won for him a reputation that places him in the class that always merits distinction and honor. He has made a specialty of "Slumberland" and has given it in almost eyery large city of the South. The leading musical talent of Conway has consented to cooperate in making the entertainment a great success. Let every one look {pr the advertisement next week and read all the "Slumberlanrl'1 noma '' Items from Dof Bluff. Editor of the Herald: Will you please allow me space in your columns for a few liaes from this place. People in our neighborhood are generally well. Lots of tobacco barns are going up in this neighborhood. B G Johnson has one, C V Johnson one, K P Stalvey one and Will Lawson one. People here seem to be in good heart looking forward to a good crop year. Mr J A Turbeville has moved into his new cottage on Main street. He moved on March 4th. There was considerable hilarity and greeting on that night. Law met the old cow bells and sweeps were all there. This went on but the old man sat in his house smoking his DiDe. Mr J M Johnson killed'a mad dog last week, You may look out for tbem now No weddings to mention at this writing, although there is a good deal of courting going on. Sly Coon.
