PLANT LOCATE?AT CAUSEY In tbe Extreme (Northern Part of . theOounty, The Corporator* Hold Larfe Timber Interests and the Management are Live and Pro" jrresslve Men. Geo F. Alexander, J. A. Duke and E. M. Barnes were in Conway the first part of this week for the purpose of perfecting the organiza tionof Gapway Lumber Co., which will conduct a large lumber business at Causey in the upper end of Horry county. Large tracts of valuable timber have been secured in that section and also some val. uable lands, all conveyed to the corporation by the parties in interest, The officers of this company have been purchasing machinery for several months past, and the lumber is now being cut for the erection of. the mill building. They purchased one large lot of machinery from W. H, Chadbourn, Receiver of Kauawha Lumber Corporation and another large lot of machinery almost new from Judge Lewis' mill at Byrdsville, N. C., also in the hands of Receivers. In addition to these, valuable machinery has been purchased new at the factory and the work will now proceed to the ot>antinii rvf ha mill VI UVHAV/U XJM. vuv uilllt Mr Alexander is secretary and treasurer of United Lumber Co., of Springfield, Mass Messrs Duke and Barnes have been engaged in the timber and lumber business in eastern Carolina for a number of years, and in this business they have had a large and varied experience. The new copceru will no doubt be a success, and a valuable addition to the industries of that portion of our county. The capital stock of the corporation aggregates $75,000. ? Question* for Candidates to Consider. Editor Herald: Will you allow me space in your valuable paper for a few questions concerning the importance of being properly represented in the General Assembly. The candidates will soon be out and I will ask a few questions for them to consider. First, let us take up the road law and see the unfairness that exists. There are a number of people who have no vehicles to injure the roads and own but little property, yet they have to pay three dollars or work six days. Five cents an hour to make good roads for the fellow with considerable amount of property to drive over it Gentlemen, is this equal rights? I say not in the least. The only right way to work the road is by taxation. Let the men having the property help keep up the roads. For instance lets take up the dog Question. It has been heretofore that we could settle our taxes with Jf' * fifty cents to the dog. Now look at the circumstances by which we are surrounded. If a man wants a little dog he has got to pay one dollar a year tax. * Some one will say the money goes to the school. Well, suppose it does? We have a ohance of voting on any amount of mills necessary for school purposes. One will say we want a good school. If one half the tax from the dog and the money that is appropriated was properly applied, an education would be in easy reach of every child. I hope the representatives will do all in their power for the betterAment of our county. May they stand for equal rights regardless of what mau may say. Lewis L. Cooper. > ? ?' Cotton Blooms, W H Graham a successful planter of the county had an open ootton bloom on June 23rd. The Herald received last Friday the second open cotton bloom from JLl the farm of J W Stanley, a* Lay, S, C. This bloom was picked from a farm in Little River. The Herald acknowledges receipt of a cotton bloom last week from W L Singleton, a leading farmer of Bucks township. He has a very fine crop of cotton from which this early bloom was taken. A cotton bloom from the well regulated farm of Geo M Kir ton, in Galivants Ferry, was sent to the Herald office by mail last Saturday. It was picked from the field on June 23rd and this is the first bloom that the Herald has received from that section of the county this year. The Herald ackpowledges the re eeipt of two cotton blooms from Mr B F Moore, of the Bucksville section. Mr Moore is one of Horry's live and progressive farmers, and his 1 'cotton patch" bears evidenoe of thorough and intelligent cultivation. \ (Tlif WATTS -COLLINS Miss Essie Watts Becomes the Happy Bride of Mr N T Collins On June 22nd, 1910, there was a beautiful home wedding at the residence of Mr and Mrs (I. J. Watts, when their daughter, Miss Essie, became the bride of Mr Needhain T. Collins. The bride was very becomingly gowned in white China silk and never looked lovelier than on her wedding day. The groom was looking his best and wore the conventional black. The attendants were Mr Alvie Hardee, with Miss Eva Watts and Mr John Watts, with Miss Julia Oliver. The ceremony was very beautifully and impressively performed by Rev G. E. Edwards, of Conway. Mr Collins is a well known young man of sterling character and is a rising young farmer of the Homewood section. We join with their many friends in wishing them a long, happy and prosperous life. The happy couple left immediately after the ceremony for their home at Home wood. A Well Wisher. Mattie Items. Editor Herald: Please allow me a short space in your paper for a few items from this place. The health of the community is not good, as there is lots of sickness in our neighborhood at present. Tobacco curing will soon be the occupation of the farmer The recent rains have damaged the crops considerable. Mr B. W. Wait, of Conway, was here on a business trip last week.

It will be remembered that the sentence of W M Parker, who was last week brought from Lumber Bridge, N C,, where he was captured after having skipped from Conway by the light of the moon leaving his bondsmen with the bag to hold and convicted during his absence His sentence was six months on the gang or in the pen. He decided on the former, and accordingly last Monday Supervisor Murrell took him o'er the sand hills to the chain gang. It is said that after serving out this sentence there is another of one mouth standing against him imposed by Mayor Little for violating the town ordinance in reierence to saling whiskey. i Wolsie Dots.

CONFIDENT 0?~WINNI6 OUT Says Land Is Sufficiently Fertile to /Wake this Larjre Yield and All that Is Necessary Now la Favorable Seasons.?Boy Contestant* Keep an Eye ou Slnjrletcn. Editor Herald: This is not intended for a direct reply to Mr Elliott, for I do not wish a controversy with any of my friends and regret very much that he has caused me to take the steps that I now take. I do not wish to argue with my fellow farmer through the columns of the Herald but deem it advisable and proper to await the coming fall when the actual quantity will be determined and the fact more firmly established that this is the most fertile part of the whole county and that I am the most hustling farmer. Mr Elliott, I see no way for you to win the most valuable prizes as long as I am in the contest. If you mako more corn this year than i do (providing that seasons are favorable) you have simply planted more of it. If you take the prize from me you are certainly a smart corn grower. I will remark, as an item of information. that I am a reader of the Raleigh Progressive Farmer, and I too, am well posted on its instructions and consider it one of the very best farm papers we have, but if I read no paper at all I would exercise my own judgment as to the best, most up-to-date and proper methods of farming. You may determine from the following the amount that will be produced on my acre if favorable seasons continue: It is nine inches apart in drill, rows, eighteen inches apart, making about 45,000 stalks and from three to six ears are supposed to be on each stalk. Average it at half pint to the stalk and just think of the big amount?Tnree hundred and fifty bushels. Now, I do not say it will do this well, but what I wish to stress is?the land is sufficiently fertile to bring it, and all it lacks now are seasons favorable for its development. Ac any rate, I feel assured that I will bring valuable prizes to Horry and break all records next year. Now, as to Mr Epps' six dollar fountain pen, I am sure the letters, UW, 13. S." are already engraved on it; yes, to stay there too. But they are invisible to Mr Elliott and probably all others who have not seen my corn. Come to see, it Mr Editor, fellow-farmers, and business 1 -11 1:~ 4-Vw. iiiu Li ciuu _yuu win an realise uuc veracity of my statements. But be of good cheer, farmer friends, you will all win something at least. The papers will announce the victory next fall, and oh nature, hasten the day. Yours for the most valuable prizes, W- B.
