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 ?* - - -

I am satisfied 1 wilh Overseer.

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.

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.

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 <

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
