Besides numerous retail mercantile houses Conway now lias two hi*nlfor? nnfi llirm "i/'ihliintr ImiKoc all of whom are doing fairly well. Wo all have sutlicicnt reasons for returning thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of tho past year, but we cannot show our thanks by getting drunk. Melvin Watson, tho negro murderer paid the penalty of his crime by hanging last Priday. His end should be a warning to other eyily disposed persons. The cost of living is away out of proportion in comparison with wages. This should not be so, to the contrary they should be as equal as it is ]>ossibe to make them. President Tafi has ended his junketing over the country and is now resting ftvm his labors at Washington. He nrovnd :v himI i r <rr\<wl drawn.g card for fairs and the cities visited by him. There are several vacant lots in the heart of the business section of the city that would greatly add to their attractiveness were they occupied by handsome buildings instead of being allowed to grow up in weeds, ^ it is currently reported that some further improvements to the Ilorry Tobacco Warehouse are contemplated so as to give more tloor room. Manager Howies is in hopes that the additions and alterations will be made in time to handle the next crop as he anticipates largely increased sales. < Horry ought and should have many more rural free delivery routes The necessity for them is imperative in order that the farmer may keep up with the spirit of the times. These routes arc of inestimable value to* tlie rural districts as it delivers the mails daily to residents along the route practically at their dcors and thus greatly facilitates business. A largo real estate owner of Conway is having a block or so cut up into convenient building lots with the view of placing them on the market. This property is elligibly situated and is very desirable for residential or business purposes and no doubt will be in. demand at fair prices. We are glad to note that this properl\ ir; to be turned looso as it means more improvements. ? Something of a hurry of excitement was created over the State when it ticca me known that G. C. Hicham, who was convicted, together with W. H. Avant, at a recent term of the Georgetown court of manslaughter in connection with the killing of Mrs Higham at Murr> life Inlet and sentenced to three and a half years in the penitentiary some months previous. For some reasons the appeal to the Supreme court was not perfected and Solicitor Wells wired Sheriff Scurry of Georgetown to arrest both defend ants, Avant, on learning of this went to Georgetown and surrendered himself but Higham, after a diligent search, could not ho located and the Sheriff of Florence was wired to make the arrest. He, too, fail ed to locate Bingham, and it is supposed that be forfeited bio $1,500 bond and i.-: a fugativc from justice. It is said that Judge Watts, the trial judge, is of the opinion that the bond has not vet been forfeited as the con view d men are under the jurisdiction of the Supreme court, and Bit/hum has yet time lo surrender himself. Many have the opinion that should the bond be forfeited, this will relieve Bit gham of serving his sentence of three and a half years. This is not the ease, however, for the bond was conditioned upon the sur render of the defendants to the Sheriff of Georgetown should the findings of the lower court be affirmed by the Supreme court. Bigham is as much under sentence as if he had never forfeited his bond, and should he he captured he will have to serve the three and a half years in addition to losing the forfeit of the $1,500 paid by his bondsmen. I.KT'S liET TOGETHER Somehow or another the spirit of industrial activity i 11 Conway seems to bo sleeping, if not quite dead and wo are by no means enjoying that era of prosperity which we are entitled to and should have?by reason of inheritance as well as acquirement. , To all intents and purposes we arc resting idly upon our oars and allowing golden opportunities to slip by unheeded and unimproved in our lethargic and fatal policy of waiting for our children and their children to come upon the scone of action and accomplish that which wo ought to do ourselves. Thoro is no excuse, whether real or imaginary, for tho existonco of this condition of afTairs, unless it be the result of a lumcntablo case of careless indilTorenco to our own interests and an acute complaint of unadulterated laziness which percolates through our entire system stunting our vitality, stagnating our energies and fettering our enterprise, all of which makes us a people to be pitied at well as censured. The woods of 1 lorry abound in nature's chaotic profusion with raw material inviting tho investment of capital and the application of energy to turn them into merchantable commodities which will return to us wealth and prosperity an hundred fold. Our towns are overMowing with opportunities which if put to practical use will build up our | waste places and make the wheels ( of industry hum with the gladsome 1 ->ong cm prosperity winch moans "a big hank account and a full dinner pail," It really seems that we are drifting back into the old ruts in which our fathers traveled in the days and years gone by and which have served out their days of usefulness and which should now oe only mementoes of the unequalled struggles and hardships suil'ored and endured by the pioneers of civilization and of progress in the great tragedy of life?for life from tho cradle to the grave is made up of tragedy?and who have crossed the Great Divide and are resting from their labor in the silent cities of the dead, in order that their posterity may enjoy the fruits (7f their labors, and the more richer and more glorious heritage coming to them by the changing environ merit of time and conditions, and apparently we are making but little or no effort to better our conditions and send Conway booming along the highway of prosperity. Certain it is that none of us are doing our full share of pushing. We are somewhat of laggards along this tine and, having our hands on the wheel we busy ourselves too much id watching the other fellow to see if he is doing his full share of labor and at the same time neglecting our opportunities and fading to perform our plain duty in rendering effective assistance in pushing it out of the mire. Were this not the case we would today be listening to the hum and the noise and the bustle of the machinery of varied manufactories and their aided industries. Cotton factories and cotton seed oil mills would have long since been established in our midst and would have seen the creations of own brawn and brains prosper in our hands,and llourish under our guidance and direction, and our population largely increased by the addition of a live, energetic and progressive citizenship. One among some of the great needs of Conway today is unanimity among its business interests. This, sad to relate, is not as stong and potent as it should be. If there was more of the spirit of a community of interests?if our people would pull together for the advancement of the best interests of Con way, then better and greater results would follow what efforts which might to put forth to improve conditions. Then, again, we need leaders. Men endowed with a reasonable amount of business sagacity and having suHici cm commence in ineir aomiy to carry a thing along and can inspire others with the same amount of confidence. Men who have the courage t.o blaze the way to newer and greater dolopments in material progress. Men who are not contented to sit down and wait for things to turn up, but will mako opportunities and turn the in to good account. Having these necessary elements in our business fabric Conway will then become what she ought to have long ago been? the pearl of the Pee Doe. High prices paid for seed cotton at Klondyke, S C.
