f VOL XX111. w HT sin The Double Daily Passenger Train Assured. EFFECTIVE llEXT TUESDAY. Mr W H Cliadh >nrii, of Wilmington, Secured the Concession from the Railroad Poop'e. C.mway is to have additional passenger service in and out of the city is the good news brought from Wilmington by Mr W II Chadbourn when he arrived here last Monday from his home lu that city. The need of this service has been long felt by Conway and Conway people, and something over a vear ago a practically unanimous effort was made to the railroad people to give us the additional passengor service aud failing to accomplish anything there the Railroad Commission was complained to to grant the relief demanded in the complaint. The Commissioners, meeting the railroad people in Conway and going carefully over the situation together in all its bearings, ordered the Atlantic Coast Line to operate a double daily passenger service between Conway, S, C., and Chadbourn, N G., elTective on a stated date. From this order the railroad noonle took an anneal to * Mr * the United Circuit Court on the ground that the South Carolina Commission had no jurisdiction over that portion of the road in North Carolina. Judge Pritchard sustained the appeal and reversed the Commission . Too matter stood in this condition, with no active and concerted efforts being made by our people to relicV6 the situation and have tb3 service to which they wero in justice and equity entitled, until Mr W H Chadbourn catne down here as Receiver of the Kanawha Lumber corp. This gentleman has for years boea a warm friend of liorry and Conway and has taken an active interest in their development, recognizing the great injustice being done them by the almost criminal nogleet of the railroad people to provide additional service to meet the demand of the increased volume of ^ business done here, took the matter up on his own volition with Mr Royals, of the Atlantic Coast Line system. He succeded in interested Mr Royal iu the matter to such an extentas to get from tnat gentleman < his promise togiye his personal attention to the matter, which ho did I and the result of these several iui 1 i- - n\. . J i A ter views utJiwtreu m r uu^uuuuru unu Messrs Royals, Craig and Willcox, of the railroad, is that the additional passenger and mail service will be put on next Tuesday. Mr Chad bourn has won out by the use of pacific measures where our people failed by an attempting coercion. At the writiug of this the schedule has not been definitely agreed upon, but Mr Chadbourn is of the opinion that there will be no change in that of the present traiu, and the new one will probably leave Conway k. at about 5 o'clock a m., and make connection at Chadbourn with the train from Wilmington going south and returning leave Chadbourn at about 5:110, after the arrival of the northbound train from Columbia. Tbis train is to run through to Myrtle Beach. Mr Royals informed Mr Chadbourn that Myrtle B iach will be greatly improved and about $10,000 will be U9ed for this purpose. A Mr Anderson, of Tabor, has the hotel this year and will add many new attractions. There was some trouble here in the Magistrate's Court recently in regards to a settlement of the estate of Andrew Grainger of which Albert Rogers is the Administrator Toe heirs to this estate seem to bo in a great hurry to have the settlement with the Administrator and reauired him to payout the shares to them before he had made any account before the probate court There were some six or seven of the J children heirs to the estate who are under age and who have no guardian appointed, so that it was impossible to make a final and complete settlement as some of the heirs desired We are informed that warrants were sworn out oy the other heirs against Rogers, but since that time the matter has b en arranged, for the plaintiff when they really found for the defendant. On these grounds the Judge granted a now trial and the case would have cmie ^ up for the third hearing at the present term of the Court if the parties had not compromised last week.

FARMERS' MEETING Farmers' Demonstration Work In Harry. As Announced through the papers a meeting of the members ?"f the farm Demonstrators were held here a' the court house on Monday. Mr W. F. Mlshoe, agent for Horry, presided lie made a brief addresi in which he staled that he had expected l)r Knapp, of Washington and Prof Ira W. Williams, of Columbia, both here to address the citizens of Horry. But the train was several hours late, and he learned that neither would be hero. While all was much disappointed at their absence, the meeting was not in vain. Horry v\a- not altogether 'acking in material for speech makers. Ho then introduced Sm.ato> Spivov, who in a short speech related his conncctiou with this matter of securing an agency in Horr.i couuty. Mr Spivey as all know is a uativo son of Horry and was reared upon a country farm. His sympa-j thios are accordingly with the farming class and it Las ever been his aim and purpose to ussUt in the up building of all interests in the county, but especially along agricultural linos. With this view ho had taken up the matter of establishing an agency here, first with Col Watson, of the South Carolina Bureau of Agriculture, then with Prof Williams, who has charge of the b arm Demonstration work, under the United States Government in this State And later he had visited Washington and bad a personal interview with Dr Knapp, who is a practical farmer, and who Vie found to he very much interested in our sectionapparently ready ai d willing to assist us, if the people showed a willingness to cooperate and join in the work. It was then he had gotten the Farmers' Union to pin in the Request and endorse the scheme. It was near the middle of February, while in Columbia, that he was notified that the Department at Washington had granted our petition and that the agency would be located here. 4tI refrained from making a recomendation for appointment until my return home; but insisted on the Department, to send a man here to survey the field, talk with our farmers and lot them select a suitable man This Prof Williams did. I was later informed that the Farmers' Union had unanimously endorsed Mr W. L. Mishoe and he was accordingly appointed. Aftor hear ing his report and seeing the result of his work, it is for you to say whether your recommendation was wise. And the future success is with you. Without your cooperation, of course the work will be a failure. With your assistance and the proper work of the agent, 1 predict much good results from this movement. We have the soil. Wo have the climate "We havo the industrious citizen-hip. We nce.J instruction. We need cooperation To is work has provod a great sjc P.P.R4 plsowliwro jinrl rvmiOiJ 1 ?r ? h the Boys Corn Club, will, I venture to say, prove a blossing to Horry county." Col Sp'vey explained that his work in 1 his cause had b *cn done not as Senator from this county, but as a private citizen, ond that if the work proved successful, ho was proud that he had been instrumental in bringing it about, Ex-Senator Hollidav was next introduced Ho opened his add re-s with an auccdoto from Senator Ti 1man. He felt much interested n the Farm Demonstration work, rn d threw a few bouquets atS en ?l< r Spivry for his efforts towards establishing the agency here. He told of the bravcrv of Horry's sons in war as well as in p ac\ That he was strongly identified with the farmiug interests of llorry county where he was born and exoected to live and die. He stressed the importance of the farmers j rin'ng in this demanstration work and seek lo make it a sue ess Endeavor to make one hundred bushels of corn t) the acre, and thus br>eom> independent and wealthy. He thought that Mr Mishoo was in position to give valuable service to the farmers. That he was well qu ilified from the fact that ho knew almo-d ev*?ry farmer and that he was reired betwee i the pi >w hai dl >s The possibilities Horry of were equal to, or exoelled that of, Marion, Marl boro, or any other county in th State We not only had the ferHU soil, but we had the m inhood will u. * Superintendent S FT Bro^nwapresent a d explained i ho poets ii common as well as ih d-fferen > between the work of t>-e Hoys Oort Club and the Farm IVm mstration lie read soma lnl?nj*i"*ng lettvi from boys who had sueceedid ii ihls enterprise and app ab d to tin parents to encourage iheir boys t< enter the contest, i He complimented the, efforts o Col Spivey and thanked him fo i support bo had rendered in tho mat > ter.

Fifteen Years Asro Editor Herald: 1 was very glad to see in your ) iper of last week a statement from C >1 Quattlebaum in reference to the b.'idgo over Waccamaw river at or i.ear tho shipyard. 1 guess I am L'^tti g in too big a hurry fjr it. I was beginning to think the eomir Usioners had forgotten it or hao no mi ney to build It with. I am very pi ad to know that this is not thjca^e I know that we needed the cr urt house, but nothing like as much as we do the bridge. I d ) rot know how Col S.jivey's bill toad, but had it not been contrary to the bill and I hud been the com mi sion 1 would have built the bridge lirst then the court house. We had a courthouse such as it was, but ll . re is no bridge across the Waco;, maw river any where in Horry c lunly. I do not know how long this has been a county, but 1 am going to venture an assertion. It is this: Thero is not another county south of the Mason and Dixon line with any prettier river than tho beautie I it' _ _ _ ... ni. .. ^ i iui v\ uccamaw. .mere is not another (ounty with as nice a little town situated upon the banks of as j prettier river as ours but what has j a bridge over it at the town, saying J nothing about other places. Some of our very best land Is ch the east side of the river. I am told i by tobacco men that the best tobacco grown in 11 irry county, is grown on the other side of the river from Conway. Still the situation is this: There is a farmer living in one and a quarter miles of Cooway, llis people have been living there for three generations. Today if that man has a load of produce to bring to Conway to sell, he has to haul it ten miles just because there is no bridge over the river, and until a year or t wo ago, it would cost him from 25 to 75 cents to get over. There is a farmer living in one and a quarter miles of Burroughs & Collias' cotton giu, still it is nearer for him to carry his cotton to Grabauiville or Socastee than it is to b? ing it to Conway, There are thousands of acres of strawberry land not two miles from Conway on the east side of thb Waroamaw, but people cannot plant berries, for with no bridge, they will have to haul their berries ten miles to get them to Conway. There are several other items I could mention. Now, who is responsible for it. Our taxes are not light. We have paid enough taxes years ago. It we had had a live board of trade to have gotten in behind our representatives we would have had the or age in teen years ago. Now gentlemen of the Building Commission, in bohalf of the Town of Conway, and the people on the eastern side of the Waccatnaw river, let me b( g you, please get a move on the building of this bridge We have no Board of Trade to encourage you, and it seems as if Con way's business men are not interes'ed in it, but the people on the other side of the river are longing for the timj when they can feel that they are not cut off from the balance of the county and when they can go to the county seat like other people. Mavb^ our business men will wake up sometime but it looks like it will take another generation to do it Please give us the bridge in time for the people to patron zc us this fall. Yours truly, L. H BURROUGHS. Conway, S. C. Auction Sales of Lots.

Certainly it seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to speak o! exporting oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every year the Quaker Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Oats to Great fyitian and Europe. The reason is simple; while the English and Scotch have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the metnods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade. How well he has succeeded would be seen at a glance at the export reports on Quaker Oats. This brand is without a rival; is packed in regular packages, and in hermetically sealed tins for hot climates. 51 COURT The Court of Common Pleas convened last Monday, Judge Ernest Gary, presiding The cases set for trial on Monday were compromised On Tuesday the caseo, W J Smith vs A B Graham was tried, This was one of 4 similar ca-es which Mr Snith ftifcd agab st four brothers.
