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

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.

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.

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.

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

Says Land Is Sufficiently Fertile

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. Singleton.

pounds last season, and with three
good warehouses and a large increase
of buyers for this crop, we
hope to see Fair BlulT sell 5,000.000
pounds of leaf tobacco this year.
The tobacco growers in and
around Fair BlulT are gaining in
popularity and are attracting the
attention of a great number of tobacco
people, manufacturers ami
dealers in tobacco, than has ever
been the case heretofore. This
should be a source of gratification
to the business men of Fair BlulV, as
well as to the farmers who live with
in afradious of 20 to 30 miles of this
market.
Captain O M ALLEN, who is regarded
as one of the best auctioneers
in the Old Belt, will again bo

every pile of tobacco sold at Bo well's
New Warehouse will bring the
highest market price.
H L Turner, who will be Assistant
Auctioneer, is a young man full
of energy, and a good all round
warehouse man, has already made
himself a record, which older auctioneers
would bo proud to attain.
He will also add to the pleasure and
profit of all who sell at Powell's,
Our house is now open for the reception
of tobacco, and farmers
who may wish to store their tobacco
with us can do so, and same will be

It will bo our pride and pleasure
to conduct the warehouse business,
on a high plane, and to help with all
our entire force and moans in making
Pair Bluff the best market to bo
found in Eastern Carolina.
We ask that the farmers handle
their tobacco nicely, feeling assured
at this writing that prices on this
crop will bo much better than that
of last season, and invite you when
you come to Fair Fluff to soli your
tobacco with us, as we will give you
a hearty welcomo, and do you good.
Yours to Sorve
