Death of Mr A W Jenkins. J Mr GB Jenkins received a telerttto m Info nnc/lnir UlU 1U V\> A wgoudj UI UOl I1WUU veyiug the sad intelligence of the sudden death of his father, Mr A W Jenkins, which occurred at Fair Bluff, N C., his home town, late that day, and Mr Jenkins immediately left for that town across the country, taking with him his daughter, Miss Laura. In the absence of the son the particulars cannot be obtained, but from what wo can gather in a round about way it appears that Mr Jenkins has been in ^ _ feeble health for some time, but on the morning of the day of his death he seemed better and was out on the streets of Fair Bluff. His death was sudden, presumably from heart failure. Mr Jenkins was at one time a prominent business man of Conway, he together with his son, G B Jenkins, having established the successful sales and lively business, now conducted by the son, under t ie firm name of A W Jenkins & Son , and was well and favorably known to many of our people, by whom he was greatly respected The sympathies of our people go out to the stricken family in this hour of sore bereavement. ?

He was sitting cross legged on the railing of the upper story of the building of the Norton Drug Co., watching the * dancers in the hall across the alley, when he lost his ba'ance and fell tc the ground, a distance of about fifteen feet, striking on his face. He was considerably brusied, his face scratched and several teeth were forced thorough his lip necessitating several stitches. Fortunately no bones were broken nor serious damage sustained. He was given Jrompt medical attention by Drs amie N orton and Burroughs. He is now at home in North Carolina recuperating. ? ? ? ^ Go With a Ruth.

Health ot our community is good Farmers are quite busy at present gathering fodder. J Tobacco curini' is almost over for ?o ? ?. " this season. Miss Olive Watson and brother, Lynch, and Clarence Graham, were j pleasant callers at the home of S, 1', Hughes last Sunday. Mrs Sallie Moyd, of Georgetown, 1 and daughters, Miss Annie and little Nell, were visitors at the homos of S. P. and N. G. Hughes and W. S. Cox last week We would like to hear from our Christian friends in different parts of the county giving and exchanging views on Scripture. I wish to give some way remarks for some worthy Christian mau or woman which are these: *<%If any man olVend not in word the same is a perfect mau able to bridle the whole body." ?James 3rd chapter 2nd verse. Now dear friends this describes perfection and shows us it can be obtain- , ed. Do we ask God each day for , knowledge and power to keep us from olTendiug? Do we continually ask God for faith that we may please him? Do we each morning, when we awake, lirst of all center our minds on an all powerful Creator and say fropi the depths of our hearts this short but beautiful prayer? "Father ' we thank Thee for thy loving care and tender mercies to us all through the night. We do thank Thee for sweet rest and repose, for health , and strength of body and mind, and for every good thought that p eseuts itself to our minds, and for power to rosist temptations, and now blessed Father rule and reign within our hearts this day and for Jesus sake keep Thou the door of our lips that we may not offend in : word or deed, we ask for Jesus sake, A men." Then dear seeker after truth, at the close of the day, do we like brutes retire without lifting our hpnrl.H in crrn t.5 f.nrln t flml t blessings of the day, or are we seeking that we may find? by thanking Him* for power to love Him with all our heart, with all our soul, with all of our mind, with all of our strength and our neighbors as ourselves. Can we expect to hear- truth in its purity from tho lips of any man or woman who is continually offending? Are we following Christ when He said keep thine eye single and thy whole body shall be full of light? Are we loving our neighbor as ourself? If we are continually speaking or even thinking of him we are offending in word. Some one may say oh I can't help what I think but A 1 A - - 1 1 I suit} wk uuu ur i?uc posue ?'uui would not have said when he was a man to put away childish thoughts, ?1st cor. 13th chapter and 11th verse. Now, dear Christians lets grow to the full statue of a Christian, that is as Paul said, go on to perfection, and not think that we have to expire when we reach there for we will just begin to live. May all seek to live the life that offends not in word is my prayer for Christ sake. Much success to the Herald and its readers. Vestus.

C., THURSDi? mm Some Reasons Why Conway is Pushing Ahead. EVERYBODY JS~ SATISFIED. Our Market la Succeeding Above All the Older Market*. Ilijfheat Price* and Delighted Farmers, Iu view of so much talk about the Horry Tobacco Warehouso and the Conway market, a Herald man had a talk with a party interested in the nnhtPiwicn n n/1 OAII nnnfn/1 tir't I li i lui Ul' | J l I OV Uliu V.UU HV/Vy UV VI IT I t II VllVy management of the Horry EIou.se. Ele was asked if he could and would state, in his opinion, the reason for the remarkable suecoss attending the local market this season. "Yes, quite a number of people are puzzled to understand why it is that the Conway market this season should be able to pay more for tobacco than some the other markets are paying. The question is often asked, "Why is Conway excelling in prices and amounts this season?" Now, while we admit it is rather puzzling to the ordinary citizen, in view of the past history of this market, yet there are several reasous why the Horry Warehouse has Equalled, if not excelled, all other markets this year. "1st. Conway is the county seat, and is centrally located. Not over a day's travel to reach and return same day by almost an citizen in its borders. "2nd. Wo have the advantage of both rail and water transporation, thus giving us the benetit of cheap freight rates. "3rd. We are fortunate in our set of buyers. We have the Imperial Company represented here? an English corporation with millions of dollars and orders to purchase tooaccos. We have the American Company represented with instructions to purchase all grades and to pay the highest marka|L price. In addition we have two other indenen dent buyers. Besides this, the Warehouse has at its disposal $5,000.00 with instructions to the Manager to purchase tobacco when, in his judgment, the buyers are not paying the full limit for the weed ? in other words, the money is PUT UP TO PROTECT THE FARM ERS This policy is costing us money, but is our aim to protect the planter and build the Conway market 4'5th. The merchants and some of the business people, now realize what it is to have turned loose in their toOvn daily $1/200 00 cash, and they are accordingly lending their support and influence to help the market. 0th. The farmers themselves be kin to reaii/.e that tneir interest ana that of the warehouse is the sarno. They now understand that it to the great advantage of the warehouse that the tobacco brings handsome prices. The more it brings, the greater the pro lit to a'.l concerned. It is not the policy of our house to purchase tobacco as a speculat'on The warehouse is NOT A PTJFi CHASER, WE ARE SELLERS. We are not here to speculate on tobacco but our business is to sell tobacco and protect the planter in seeing that he gets the full market price for his stulT. What are buy is always at a loss---at a clear loss to the management, and done solely to uphold and protect this market "This we believe the planters understand and fully appreciate. Hence it is, they are giving us their patronage. "The market has already sold more than the total handled on this market for the past several years, and still the house is over-crowded every day. Should this keep up for the remainder of the season, the to baeoo market for Conway is a set tied issue. It means much for th( business men of your town, and o vast more to the people of youi county." ? - - ? ?NKAL, A DIXON are making th< most wonderful record ever madt by a warehouse firm in the old Pal met'o State. It is a recognized fac that Neal A Dixon are selling mor< tobacco for more money than anj warehouse firm in South Carolina Neal & Dixon sold over ono-thirc of a million pounds of tobacco lasi week, which is more tobacco thai some small markets sell in a whole season. These geutlemen are heav.i buyers on their warehouse ttoor There is a cause for this strong warehouse firm selling so much to bacco. Mullins leads and others follow. The Imperial Tobacco Com pany has just completed one of th< most up-to-date stemmeries in th< south, this in addition to our scv eral other up-to-date Tobacco Stem meries gives Mullins a long lea* overall other tobacco markets ii the State ?Mullins Enterprise.

A Visit to Independence Hall. j Editor Herald: Please allow mo space in your paper to toll the people of dear o'd Horry of the treat it lias been to me to visit this city. 1 have been through the Independence Hall, which was built in 172M by tho Providence of Pennsylvania as tho colonial State, llouso. It wi^ in this building that was arranged the preliminaries of I ho establishment of the United States. Hero the Declaration of Independent:! was debated and proclaimed in 1771? Here tho first Congress mot anil preparations for the Revolutionary war was made. In this liall hangs the liberty boll where tongue llrsl announced the legal formation of the United States, It still hangs on its original beam but has been silent since 18411. Congress Hall is a place of great interest. Its site before the Revolu! tionary war was occupied by a wooden shelter for visiting Indians. rim -? 'iiio present nuiimng was erected in ]700 and it was in this building that Washington was inaugurated president and John Adams vicepresident. It was in the east room of Independence Hall that the Declaration of Independence was signed. Thoro aro many thing* in these buildings that are interesting such as William Penn's slab and chairs and portraits of those old time peoplo. I must call otT for this tiino and tell more about Philadelphia later. Dost wisher to the Herald and the ilorry people. J. W. DAWSEY, 28511 W. 11th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Two R?miI I slatc Dcols. In the recent past two important real estate deals have taken place in Conway, both in residence part of the city and both will soon be occupied by handsome residences* the sites of which are given up to a luxuriant growth of rank grass? and unsightly weeds. The first of these deals occurred when Mr W P Vick became the purchaser of that beautiful building lot on the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and 13eaty Street. This is conceded to be one of the most desirable building lots in Conway and lias long been the "desire of many would be purchasers and Mr Vick is to be congratulated on having become its owner. But where Conway comes in for congratulation is the fact that Mr Vick intends to erect thereon one of the handsomest and up-to-date residences in the city. The bill for the lumber has already beon placed and some of it lias been gotten out. The contract for the mechanical work has beon given to MrGarron, a contractor of wide and varied experience, and who is himself a practical builder. Mr Vick is undesided at present when work will actually begin, but it will be as early as he can complete all necessary arrangements. The other deal, is the purchaser by Mr A 1.5 McCoy of a very desirable building lot on "Snow Mill," somewhere near the residence of Mr .1 PI Bryan. We are not informed as to Mr McCoy's intentions concerning this lot, but it is safe to presume tha he will put.a handsome residence thereon at no distant date. No Decision Yet, Up to the hour of going to press nothing has been hea'*d frorr.
