Volume of Bnsitte^s, and to Moot i These llciiianils These InMlt nitons Were Organized. For s Hue time pist those who have kept p ic; 5 with (-ho spirit of J development wh o 1 Horry h is been j and is now euj tying, have felt the urgent uecessity of an improved system of b inking facili ties and believing thai 'the time was ripe for launching 1 hat system upon the financial <-ea the maragment of the Bank of Conway began making the necessary arrangements for putting 'that preposition in force. Bur.sii'.int t) a c.ill issued through the columns of this piper last week a meeting of the 1 > oar-l of Corporators of the new bank ?The Conway Savings B ink? and the Kingston Hotel Co , wero held at the offices of the Bank of Conway on last Friday. The Savings Bank was organized with D. A. Spivev, President; Hal ]j. Buck, Vice-President; \V. Percy iJardwicke. Cashier, Mr Spivey the President, has long been prominently identified with the business interest of Conwav and has nlwnvs taken an active nart in all undertakings tending towards the development of the resources of town and county, and many enterprises which are now in a flourishing and prosperous condition and which have contributed a large share towaids the prosperity of Conwav claims hita as their father. He has been with the Bank of Conway since its incipieney to the present time audit was through his conservatism sound business judgment, and lib erality that the bank has taken such a wonderful position in the financial world and we congratulate the Sav ing Bauk of Conway an having se cured him as its head feeling assured that it will, through his directions become one of Conway's permanent fixtures. Mr Hal L Buck, the Vice-Presi dect, is also a prominent fixture in Conway's business affairs and is now engaged in active business life. All of his eutenls are in a sound financial condition, which is an in \ - dication that he will bo a valuable adviser to the president, ^ Mr W Percy TJardwicke, the Cashier, has had fivo years experience in the Bank of Conway in which house he has acceptably filled several positions. Il?s elevation to the position he is now holding is a fitting reeognization of his faithfulness, his honesty and integrity in the discharge of his duties. Kingston Hotel Co., was organized with a capital of $15,000 with I). A. Spivev, President; Hal L Hack, Vice-President; W Percy Hatdwicke, Secretary & Treasurer At the annual meeting of the ? stockholders of the Bank of Conway held on the 4th the following officers were elected: President, B. G. Collins; Vice-President, J. A. McDermott; Cashier, 1). A. Spivev; Assistant-Cashier, \V. Percy Hatd wicke. This Bank, as heretofore stated, is being converted into a National bank?The First National Bank of Conway?and will continue under the present management. The Hoard of Directors continue the same with the additional mem hers: W. R. Lewis, A. T Collins, W. P. Hardwicke and D. M. Bur roughs. Mr B G Collins, the President of the newly launched financial institution is a remarkable business roan, having c ummenced the battle of life at the fir.-t rung. When he first came to Conway it was as a driver for a turpentine wagon, hut his trustworthiness and business shrewdness and discernment was soon recognized by his employers and he was transferred to a clerk x ship in tlie store His other pro* motions came fast until he was taken into partnarship and the firm bears his name.?The Burroughs & Collins Co. fie is perhaps the richest single individual in Horry county today and hi*- investments embraces many of Horry's most pros parous inet list r 10?. Mr McDermott, the Vice-Presikent is another of Horry's well known financiers and a prominent livery business man. He, to, is p largely interest in the development of Con way's enterprises and is credv itod with fathering some of the established businesses. The kMrst Nation.al will occupy the same quarters as the present Hank of Conway, and the Swings Hank will occupy aboining ollices. The Hoard of Directors in all these corporations constitute some of the best business men that Horry county affords, andJthe success of the respective concerns is asw Bured under their management, . .. . \ ... . . ? i c A Liberal Offer.1 | Realiziug thab our farmers are in some rospects somewhat behind i some of the farmers in other sec- ' tions of the country, and realizing that their work is an all important i one, I wish to show them that I am interested in their work and encourage them in their endeavors and hence am going tD offer a fewji^ro7nc f n t r\r? 4 Ka nnn ? 1 Ol II ! i / i wv7 luuiii k;i uuc jrucn 1 . j FIRST.?To the fanner in Horrv who sells the first bale of cotton in Conway raised in the present year.

The latter pirt of last week, a strange looking, man passed through town on foo^, utu] spent the night in one of the waiting rooms at the A, C L depot. He was seen there by ?nerf the engineers. He had a pistol and forty-four calibre gun, and his appearance indicated a fourcigner. There was much speculation as to his i 11 ten'iands. Oa the morning after spending the night at thedepd, he departed on foot for Myrtle l> ach, and when the train went over in ti e forenoon. Capt. Sasser reported that he was sitting down near the road by a fire. (>a last Tusesday evening heroturned to town still carrying the guns, and he was arrested near the Waccnmaw River bridge by Chief Ambrose and lodged in jail to await trial on the charge of carrying unlawful weapons. On Tuesday ni tfht I it became known that he also carried a well-stocked kit of tools Those vho saw the package open, state that it contained dril's, wrenches, punches, plie-r*, and many other articles, alt it dicating that ho ir.av belong to the class of burglars who make their way in the world by blowing open saf<-s He was given a hearing before Mayor 11 P Little oti Wednesdar morning. The fellow was given a preliminary hearing before Mayor Little yesterday morning bat he was discharged the evidence not being sufficient to hold him, Isn't, it about time the bondsof the town of Conway were floated? Conway is sadly in need of an up-to-date, water works and sewerage system and the sooner it lias them the better it will ba for her. From our point of view we can see no logical reasonj wh v these bonds have not long since been flouted and had they been Conway would now have been enjoying these modern conditions which have become to be a necessary protection of life and property. If for any cause whatever, the commission having this matter in charge cannot act, it is most assuredly due the public to be informed of that reason in order that the necessary steps can be immediatly taken to curry out the wishes of people overwhelmingly expressed through the ballot box We' are convinced that there is something wrong somewhere, as the commission composed as it is of some of our best known, and successful business men, would have long made at least an effort to do what those whom they represent inct I'llf't.Ofl t liom Kn <1/1 T.rtfr no ^ 1> I v* V- WV>M VIIUUI UW VM/ .
