The County Seat is the First Place to
Start Progressiveness and Conway
People Should Lead the Van.?No /
is the Time to Strike WhUe the J ;on
is Hot.
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.
Rev J. T. Mann, of Belton, will do

BIG TOBACCO SALES
At Neal & Dixon's Warehouse, Mullins,
S. C.
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.

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. If any
one is interested write to Loris, S.
C? R. P, D. No. 2, Box 10.
Much success to the Herald and
its many readers. Vestus.

Results of the Primary.
Bv reference to the table of votes
cist la<>t Tuesday for county candidates
and c >na d .tes for congress
from the 6ih district, the following
results will app ar:
J E Ellerbe carried Horry County
by a good safe majority, though his
majority was not as large at some
of his friends expected. News from
the district would indicate that he
lacks only a l.ttle of election and will
likely rua over with Hodges.

the House of Representatives,
George H Jones, however, receiving
a flattering vote.
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.

? Capture of IIarr:son Howell.
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. Moral?for tho best results
plant your advertisement in
the Herald.
Those subscribers who have recently
received statements are especially
requested to call and leave the
amounts due, or send it to us
through themuil. Like every other
[ business on the face of the earth,
the newspaper business requires a
' certain amount of hard cash to run
| it. Little amounts due by many
i people amount to large sums in the
' aggregate. It is the little amounts
1 that we have to look out for,

From Dow,
Editor Hot aid: Will you allow
me space in your valuable paper to
say a few words concerning good ]
roads. 1 am one who believes in
h ving good roads and am willing
to help make thorn but T am not in
favor of bonding the county to build
roads. I am in favor of taxing
the v< hieles so much on the who 1
and a certain per cent, of personal
tax and the pupils work twelve days
or pay twelve dollars and thou wo
will begin to get the thing right by
j taxing the wheel then the man that
| most needs the read will be tbe man
to do the most to keep it up. 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. The wheel tax will clay the |
sandy places aud then we wiil not 1
have the honds on us and will save
paying the odd man's salary.
Now, Mr Representative, who *
ever you may ba, look and sec if
you don't thiuk there is a better
way than bonding the county and
and save expense and have good
roads too. 1 would like to hear from
some one else whether you are in
favor or not of this plan of building
roads, L. V. Todd.
