The future of Conway is entirely in the hands of her people. In our last issue, a leading article on this page told about recent information obtained in regard to bringing to Conway, a nev/ railroad traversing an entirely unopened section of this great fcounty, and giying Conway I'anonnnt.ni i jn linos. A V.I Mil |;cuui I v huuKw. little thinking will convince anybody,.that aside from the railroad project, there are many more things which just now demand attention from eyery progressive citizen of Conway and Horrjr county. To begin right at the home of this paper, let us say that the county seat, in our opinion, is the first place for progressiveness and liber ality to start. Some time ago, at a meeting of representative business men, a resolution was passed asking the Town Council of the town of Conway, to submit at once, to the voters of the town, the question of issuing bonds to an amount sufficient to put in water works and possibly sewerage. For some reason, this request has been entirely 1 disregarded by the city fathers This wise set, who by this action, on their part, would indicate that they are afraid to act, or think they know better what the town needs than the great body of the men who elected them to office. It is equivalent to saying that the town needs nothing. They may act as they please, it is their privilege, but we know that no greater step could possibly be taken just now. No enterprise can succeed without mon ey. There are men opposed to the issuing of bonds, who will spend I largo amounts annually in the upkeep of private water works, and never stop to think, that they would save money by having the town furnish them this modern conven' Hkm. fifil ifnaSf? f\t IV am All ICUUO. JL UOJ itl c> Uiiuiu VI H annual tax, but will spend large sums, to obtain an inferior and unsatisfactory result. The principal tenefit would come from outside after the bonds are voted and the water works established. Outside capital does not want to locate here. What can Conway offer it? No modern conveniences ? no protection against fire?lack of that public spirit, liberality and progressiveness, that has always built towns. You have heard of the "Atlanta Spirit." It was this that built Atlanta from a city of 84,000 inhabitants at the last census, to over 154,UO0 as shown by the recent government count. That spirit is still there, and Atlanta will ever be the Af- "gateway of the soui,h." Men went ^ v to Atlanta, caught the spirit and remained and got their friends and their capital there. Conway cannot come up to Atlanta, but it can beat what Conway is now, by a great deal. , Then the matter of a bond issue or fiuu,'juu.uu oy ine county ior me purpose of building the very best roads everywhere [f the citizens of Con way have any sense of what this would mean to the county 9eat, they will certainly take off their coats, roll up their sleeves and go h to work in dead earnest, to get the . bonds voted, The tobacoo farmers of Floyds and Green Sea, should bring their crop to Conway to sell * w, at Conway warehouses. Cotton farmers should haul their cotton here. As things are now, without good road,*, they are much neare Marion and Mullins. Give them good roads, and they will be from ten to twenty miles nearer to Con way, and they will come without doubt. These same good roads, and fchev are nnsaihle with t.he hnnd iasue, will increase the value of ev^ry man's land nearly one-third if not one-half. There will be some encouragement for the farmer to raise crops when he knows he can get them to market. The vacant lands * j ? ? ,1 everywhere win oe cieareu up, ?uu prosperity will smile in every corner, when we get the roads. The county seat will profit mightily from alLthis, her population will be increased, and her volume of business will more than double. These thiogs and many more require our uttention now. They cannot be put off without serious loss to the community. ? We have been requested to say that the protracted meeting at Gafivants Ferry Baptist church will he gin the first Sunday in September.

Neal & Dixon broke the record last week in Mullins, the largest market in the State, by selling in six days, including last Monday, 374,427 pounds of tobacco, and paid the tobacco growers nearly forty thousand dollars. This was more tobacco than any one house ever sold in Mullins in six days. Neal & Dixon's large business is plain proof of what they know about tobacco and the warehouse business. Hulls Island Items. Editor Herald: If you will allow me space I will give a few notes from our section of country. Your paper is a welcome visitor at our home Thursdays of each week and we enjoy reading it very much. Wo love to hear from different parts of our county and also from other States We are slow to tire of reading good news full of honestv and truth. Mrs Joe tlardee and son, W. J Hardee, of Hague, Fla., are here on a visit. Their many friends and relatives were delighted to see their dear faces again. They seem to be prosperous and contented in the land of flowers. The health of the community is fairly good at present with few exceptions. Tobacco curing is about over for this season and fodder pulling seems now to be pushing our farmers. Our pastor. Rev (t W. Harrelson, and his son, Rev J. Davis Harrelson, have gone to Florida, where they will preach in ditTerent parts of the State. We would like to hear from some good brother or sistor concerning their views on the forgiveness of sin. We would like to hear from some good vocal music teacher who could bring books and would like to teach We feel sure we could get up a class to justify him in coming.

None of the candidates for Judge of Probate received a majority, and there will be a second primary to decide between W D Larimore and J S Vaught, the latter having a lead of only 71 votos. Johu Holt was nominated for trca urer with a small m *joi ity over J N Jenrette of 34 votes. There was no election for County? Auditor, and there will be a second race between N C Adams and C E Barker, the latter having a lead in in the first primary of 3<J4 votes. The table gives the complete vote of the county but it will be noticed that the votes for Spring Branch, Ployds and Vardelle, were reported together, and not separately as the oth r precincts, but the numbers may be counted upon as being just as accui ate as the others given. The figures given are of course not ofhcial, and the official vote cannot be given until the next meetingof the executive committe. There is no chance for a change to take place by reason of the official count, except it be in the race for treasr. urer. The vote issoalose for that office, that the final result may be changed by reason of small errors that may have crept in over the phone or in taking down the figures as reported. The table will be corrected by the official count, and published again in the next issue of the papor. A good many people spent Tuesday night and Wednesday morning awaiting the figures as they came slowly from the different precincts. The figures would change a little from time to time, and the hopes of many would rise or fall according as the vote fluctuated. On Wednesday morning the crowd was tired but the interest had not flagged. By noon time on Wednesday the entire vote was in and the above results became known. The Herald compliments the Conway Telephone company, also the Loris system and its connections all over the county for assisting in the matter of getting in the votes as quickly at possible, It looks as if State wide prohibition has received a black eye and that the people prefers local option to it. ? i Don't Get Run Down.

V At the request of some of the parties concerned the Herald gives iihe main facts in the matter of the capture of Harrison Rowell, some w%eks ago. He had'been convicted of a serious criminal charge in his absence. He fled the county before the time set for his trial, and his bondsmen, Messer. H. G. Turner and M. Conner, were threatened with proceedings, Many attempts to locate and bring him back had failed, and the sum of $50.00 was offered as a bonus or reward for bringing him back for o/\v\ 4 3DIJ H. N. Sessions located him at Pembroke, N. C., and at that place on August llth, he arrested him, and placed him in jail here a day 6r two after, He was arrested 011 a warrant endorsed by a magistrate over there. Mr Sessions was not assisted in any way in making the arrest and none of his expenses were paid by any one. After Rowell had been sentenced, H. G. Turner, one of the bondsmen, paid H. N. Sessions the sum of $50 00 for which he has a rece'pt. Nothing else that we know of was paid in the matter, either before or after the capture. The Herald Bi'igs Result When an advertiser puts an adyorvertisement in a paper ho is after results, otherwise it would not pay him to advertise, and the greater the results the better the medium he uses. A week or ten days ago a gentleman residing in Con way lost his pocketbook containing a ten dollar bill a five dollar bill and a two dollar bill, besides some papers of more or less value. Last week he inserted a "lost notice" in the Herald at a cost of 25 cents. The pocketbook was found by a white youth and re1 turned to the gentleman Tuesday morning money and papers intact, a return of $16.75 for an investment of 25 cents.

If a man can carry double the load on a good road that ho can on a bad road why not have less teams and less vehicles and take some of the money that ho pays for them and put it in making good roads and lessen his expense in feed and repair. The twelve days work will make all of the level parts of the i country good and if a man pays off / his money it will do his work, but I 50c. will not do a dollars worth of j work.
