especially, the particulars of which
are given in this week's issue of the
Whiieville News Reporter. Survey
of the proposed road from Vineland
to South port is now being made and
there is talk of another road from
Florence, S. C , to Southport, pass
ing through the lower section of
Columbus county. The News Reporter
says:
"Kngineers were this week set to
work to make a survey of the railway
to be built from Vineland to
Southport, passing directly through
Whitevillo. The survey from
Blaydenboro to our town has been
made and the line practically defined
and most of the right-of way in
Brunswick countv, from the Wao
camaw river to Southport, and that
work is practically completed.
The engineers will now take the
field and decide where the road will
run, and select tho best and most
practical route.
"No trade has as yet been made to
precure the road bu.lt by tho Whifcevilie
Lumber Co., and it is a matter
of doubt if it is used as a part of,
thi9 new system. It is said that a
much better crossing of tho river
has been found, where tho banks
are steep, and it will require no

parties who are backing this project-1
ed rail wav are determined to build
it, and that as soon as possible.
When this survey is completed to
Southport, the entire route from
Bladenboro will be mapped out and
contracts for grading let.
"Wo have this week another great
piece of news for the people in the
lower part of Columbus county. We
have definite information that a
railroad will be built from Florence,
S. C., to South port, and tho survey
has been made to our State line.
This means that those living in tho
lower portion of our county will
have a railroad. It is not known
what route it will take, but by
drawing a lino on the map from
Florence, S. C., to Southport, you
can guess at the route. This road
will cut off the extreme corner of
Columbus county and must, pass
either directly through or very near
Mollie and Pireway.

of our county below the Coast Line ,
Railway, and which is now almost ,
an uncleared wilderness, will be at
once developed and filled with now
citizens. I
4'There is no question about sever ,
al important railroads being built (
through our county, and they will ,
open up its every section. if Mr |
Miles does not extend his road from <
Clarkton directly through White- i
ville, it will certainly go by either *
Wananish or Bolton, and thus develop
another part of our county.
44The Blandenboro road is now ,?
practically assured, and the report i
is that it will be completed and in i
operation before 18 months. Then t
if the road from Florence to South- ?
port is built, and the section around 1
Mollie and Pi re way opened up, old t
Columbts county will be checkered r
with these arteries of commerce, j.
Our good friends around Old Djck, (
it seems, will be the only ones left
out in the cold. But wo suppose
that line country will yet be taken
in,
"Whether or not the projected
road from Blanenboro uses the line J"
of the Whiteville Lumber Co., from
Vineland to Heaves Ferry, it will be .
soon completed and some other company
will take it up. .
"Whiteville is directly on the route .
between the middle West and three ,
ports on the South Atlantic?Wilmington,
Southport and George- c
town and the completion of the J
Panama canal will doubtless give us ,
several lines. There is a fine future
in store for Whitevilie, and a still
greater one for Columbus c.unty," J

ence to several projective lines of 1
railroad proposing to come through '

understand the situation but we
i
are thoroughly convinced that these
propositions are of sufficient importance
for the business men?
the money interest cf the county to
come together and discuss these
matters, agree upon a plan 01 action
and tell those people what Horry

In Lovinir Memory.
The deith nn^el visited the home
of Mr William Lee, of Dulah and
tool; hi in away from us, but we hope
to me< t him agaiu in the sweet bye
and bye.
He was born September 27th,
1857 and died March 81st, 1910. He
leaves a loving wife, nine children,
four girl and live boys, two brothers,
one sister and a largo circle of
relatives and frioi ds to mourn their
loss, but wliile we mourn we nope
it is his eternal gain.
He joined the Good llope Baptist
in early life and there he remained
a faithful member until his death
His remains were laid to rest at
(iood Hope cemetery.
He was sick only a little while.
He went to Conway that day and
when he returned home he was taken
suddenly ill and died that night.
All that loving hands and willing
hearts could do could not stay the
hand of death. This sudden death
caused sadness and sympathy in
the neighborhood as well as in the
home.
He was a kind husband and a loving
father.
Dear Jesus help us to iive such
lives as thou wouldst have us live;
guide and keep from all harm, and
dear Jesus tell him that we will
meet him in that better home. Now
dear Father be with and comfort
his loved ones that they may say as
1 have said "Thy will be done."
"Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law
of the Lord. And in his law doeth
he meditate day and night."
We extend our sympathy to the
bereaved wife and children and the
| entire family connection, and may
(lod's grace be sufficient for them
in this their hour of bereavoment.
Truly we can say:
A loving one from earth is gone,
l * . I 1 ; _ _ a. i t |
voice we loveo is sun,
A place is vacant in the home,
Which never can be filled.
May we all find a home in heaven
when our earthly task is done.

Mattie Thompkins,

On the evening of May 7th, 1910,
the deith angel visited our home
aud to )U from us, our darling little
girl L zzie Marion Sawyer. She
was on v spared to live with us two
3'ears and one month, but during
this ti 1113, by her love aud sweetness
won the love and friendship of
all who knew her.
On Tuesday morning our sweet
little darling arose as sweet and
well as usual but about 12 or 1
o'clock wo discovered that she was
sick. All was dono that loving
hands could do, but it was soon
seen that nothing but death could
relieve the little sulTere** and on Saturday
about 2 o'clock it breathed its
l^st.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
Which none evjr wake to wctp,
A calm and undisturbed reposed,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
She was buried the following day
at the Parker graveyard. The funeral
services were conducted by
Rev Mr skipper at the home in the
presence of many sorrowing frieuds
and relatives. The Mower contriuutions
were many aud beautiful.
The little darling was given to us
April 8th, 11)08, to stay only long
enough to become th) joy and sunshine
of our hearts and home. Then
comes those painful words, "ahe is
gone,''
Asleep in Jesus, oh! how sweet.
We are so painfully grieved and
lonely, but we know our lltaveuly
Father knew best. Though we feel
like our hearts will break we can
only sav the Lord gave and the
Lord taketh away, blest be the
name of the Lord.
May our prayers ever be to meet
our dear little darling at the heavenly
gate where there wi 1 be no
more pain, sorrow nor parting.
All will be joy and happiness. Thei e
.ve can recall that sweet remembeiauce
of the sweet little loved one
gone before.

C Messrs W II Chadbourn of Wilmington,
and W 11 Chadbourn, Jr.,
of Chicago,, Illinoise, were visitors
in Conway this week.
Contractar II P Little has received
a large quantity of material
which he will use in laying the
cement sidiwalk that will extend
from the corner of J M McKeithan's
residence to the corner of the new
school house square at the extreme
northern end of Main street. The
work will go forward without delay.
Mrs Brudence Graham an aged
lady of thisjeounty died at the old
homestead on May 11th. She was
the widow of the late L D Graham
who was a well known citizen of
Horry. Messrs J Q Graham, of
Loris, and J I) Graham, of Seville,

There was a hearing at the courthouse
last Thursday before J O
Nortou as referee in three cases for
division of land brought bv the
widow of the late James II Hux
against David J Hux. The taking
of the testimony consumed the entire
day, and the room where the
evidence was taken was crowded
with witnesses and spectators
throughout the day.
The next improvement for which
the people of Conway and near by
country are lookirg for is the erection
of tho bridge across the Waccamaw
liiyer just across Ivu^ston
Lake, and the building of a county
road from Conway over the new
bridge in a straight line to Myrtle
Beach. The building commission
would lind it hard to give a good
reason whoy thy are not all ready
proceeding with this work which
could have been completed in time
for tho summer of 11)10. Several
months ago the plans had been coinp'etedar.d
all necessary surveys had
been made, but since that time
nothing further has been done, and
tho work his not yet been started.
If some move is not made in the
near future the public will 110 doubt
inquire the reason of the delay.
