VOL XXIV. the mm is ripe : ~ What Should we do First to Help Conway. WATER W0RKS&.SEWERAGE Then Vote for the Good Roads Bonds of $1000.000. It is Important That the Outside World Should Know That we are Enterprising and Progreasing While there are many men of high financial ability in Horry County yet they are not sutlijieab within themselves, it may be said, to bring the county seat, and the Cuunty at large, up to that state of modern improvement that all would like to see. It is therefore, necessary for us to try 10 bring in help from outside, if we would get the results we want, and more quickly. If we are ready to begin, what should oe done first? ' You will find in all parts of the country a few men of high executive ability, who have already a good start in the world, but who are ambitious of building both name and fortune, and they naturally look out 1 for places where they can locate and ' have a good show for success. Tnen again there are men of high financial 1 standing, who are looking for places where they may safely invest their caoital. itest assured that they will never select a dead place. They are not ' looking for any "Sleepy Hollows". They never select a town or a county, where the businessmen and the people geuerally appear dead, and 1 forever asleep to opportunities. They congregate where they find progress 1 and modern improvement going on. ] This brings us to the proposition j which we have been making for j some time, and that is, that the 1 very next step that should be taken ( for Conway is to vote the bonds for * water works and sewerage, and the ' next step for the county is to vote the bonds for building good roads. Let the outside world uudor statu1 that the town and county aro populated with live people who stand always for progress and im- , provement. This will succeed more . than anything else in the world that t can be done in town and county building. There is no excuse that ' can be raised. The experience of J small towns all over the country with j enterprises of this kind should be sufficient to convince anybody that , it is the right thing to do. As we said in a former article, the advantages gained by giving a needed impetus to private enterprise, is on* of the great results to be expected r. but the results from outside influences are greater i We venturs to say that it will not I ' - 1 ? ?- " vnfoil c dc 1uu^ aibci h1cso uuuuo uiu TWVUV. V and the money expended, before the j taxable property here will be doub- 1 ?led many times over. The man who | now ownes land which he considers ( highly valued at $10 00 will be glad i to refuse $20 00 per acre Thetner < 1 chants in Conway all say that what ] Jj*" the town needs to enliven trade is a j 8ullicient number of pay-rolls. If < these same merchants would get a 1 move on in the right direction, thev 1 could have more pay rolls than they i have ever dreamed of. As things < are now, the encouragement to en- j terprise is little The private in- 1 dividual is slow to undertake im- i provements of a private nature at a \ place where the public as a whole are doing almost nothing for tho common good, When men get together and do all they can for the. common welfare through public |< I nhannels. each individual man is 11 /L^ willing to try to expand his private interest, and outside capital is sure to become interested. Progress at Conway during the last few years is indeed remarkable, when the fact is considered that only current revenues have been expended in puplic improvements. It only shows what might be done and what enormous results might be achieved, under the proper sort of financial eacouragment. + ? Dots From Mary.
