HONOR OF vTsTfjK6 GUESTS * Capt. Adams of the United States Engineering Department Paid Conway an Official Visit Friday, Congressman Ellerbe Here by invitation. ***** The srroaUor given by tho Con' way B >ard of Trade last Friday evening at the rooms of Waccamow Club, was a very interesting affair, and is likely to be productive of future results in the commercial and industrial development of Horry County and her county seat. Tne meeting was culled in honor of Captain Adams, of the engineers department, and congressman J E Ellebe, who had been invited to be present. The main business of captain Adams in Conway was to hold a meeting on Saturday relating to the proposed location of the new bridge across the Waccaraaw River just below the plant of Waccamaw Shingle Co , but , incidentally he was here to learn more concerning the needs of this town and a large portion of the county for a twelve foot channel on the Waccamaw River from this point to Georgetown. When Captain Adams and Mr. Ellorbe arrived in Con way on Friday they were met by a committee of the Board and in the afternoon they might see for themselves the possibilities of the bold stream which runs b}f our doors. The guests were entertained at the Kingston Hotel until after their business here had been concluded. The meeting at the club rooms on Friday evening was attended by the leading business men of the town. In the course of his speech, Captain Adams said that with the ap ? : i 1 ?? ft/lrt Rtr _ propnauuu lUUCUiijr iuauu yj y wu gress. we could depeud upon getting the waterway at least eight feet in depth, and with the appropriations which we may reasonably expect during the next year, the channel will become a twelve foot waterway. He promised his iufluence at all times in the interests of our needs along this line. Congressman Ellerbj gave the board very interesting information and also some advice as to how get the appropriations and other benefits needed. Interesting talks were made by others present, and taking the meetinw as a whole it was one of the best in a long time, and it was one that will lead to results. Some interesting information was given to the Board concerning the Inland Waterway, which is destined to become one of the greatest projects of recent years for the Southeastern section of the United States. Captain Adams said that the Waccamaw River would no doubt be used as a part of this uational waterway; that the route would lead alona the Cape Fear River to Little Rivet and from that point there would K doubtless bo a canal connecting with the Waccamaw River, at some point not so far above Conway, He stated that when this wa3 done it would be sure to make Conway one of the groat commercial centers o Eastern Carolina.

Gentlemen: You will recall that at our recent meeting I was instructed to make an effort to iecure from the U. S, Department of Agriculture the assignment Qf an eXpert road builder to address meetings in this county during the present month. I immediately took up this matter through Congressman Ellerbe, and I now have before rue the reply of the department saying that our request cannot be granted because there is no man available just at this time This is quite a disappointment to me, as 1 am sure it will be to you, and greatly t j be regretted. Let me suggest that you immediately call meetings in your re.pec tive townships, for the purpose of organizing local Good Roads and Drainage Leagues, and that you arrange to use such local talent and f 1 3 I. rv ..r, ? r n/Mi rv? rt If i\A O Kl Q 10 Vllttl SJJtiUKIJI S US lunj wt> u k/n. to secure to discuss the sublet of issuing county bonds for the building of good roads. Our committee having indorsed the plan to be voted upon at the .approaching general election, there i<> no time to be lost. To my mind the proposed plan offers the only practicable solution of the all important question of how to obtain the money with which to pay for the building of good roads, and that the result of the vote thereon will doubtless decide whether the present generation will live to see good roads in Horry county, it being very certain that our people are neither willing or able to pay a sufficiently large additional tax to raise the money necessary for the purpose. The question is therefore fraught with vital interest to our whole people, but most especially to those who live in the country and are forced constantly to use the public highways. I have confidence in our people voting right upon any question upon which they are fully informed, and I feel sure that very few intelligent voters will cast a ballot against the bond issue if they properly and clearly understand the proposed plan in all of its bearings; but I have reasons to believe that many are now opposing the bond issue plan because they do not understand that it will give them good roads without increasing their taxes or the taxes of their children, the present levy of two mills being sufficient to pay the interest on the bonds and to create a sinking fund sufficient to retire them when they become due twenty and thirty years hence; nor do they seem to appre ciate how greatly they will each bo benefited by the good roads. If lack of information will cause ' votes to be cast against the interest of those who cast them, and against the interest of every one in our county, should we not be up and doing? Let us then unite in "a long pull, a strong pull and a pull 1 all together" for good roads. Faithfully yours, ; C. P. Q iattlebaum President of Horry County Good 1 Roads and Drainage League.

Hon Jeremiah Smith Presents an Array of Facts and Figures for the Thoughtful Consideration of the Voters of Horry.?Good Koads Mean Progress and Development. Mr Editor: I am sorry that some people are trying to sidetrack the good roads bond question and substitute epithets and personal criticism which are foreign to the question at issue. Now I don't propose to defend or condemn any of the parties in the controversy, but with vtour permission will suggest some thoughts for the consideration of >ur people. In the first place the question of issuing the bonds is purely a busi ?- ? if '? ? -1 r?U/\?* i/l kn o/ ?n _ ness prUJJUSl 1/iC^U ItUU HIVHIU UU Vy.yusided by the voters of th.3 county irrespective of the political future of Col Spivey, or any other person. ] suggest again that the Act submit in# the question is the work of our Legislative delegation. Our House members are equally responsible for the Act and its provisions as the Senator is. Now if we condemn the Senator on the suspicion that he was inlluencd by personal interest, that his obiect was to make money for himself at the expense of our people, we must also condemn the House members for assisting him in the consummation of his scheme. I am free to say I don't believe they were inllueneed by any such unworthy motives. They are all native born citizens of the county ~ Spivey is a banker, Singleton a lawyer and Stanley a farmer, , Their interest, like that of the rest of us, depends upon the progress and development of the county. I think they regarded the bond issue an ideal scheme for the county, and I heartily rgree with them. In the first place the county has advantages in this proposition which an individual could not have; for illustration, suppose a man lived in a rented house, he pays his rent annually lor 15 years, and at the expiration of that time he doesn't own a dollar in the house But he borrows the money and builds himself a house and he applies the same amount, as in the case of rent, annually to the debt, and at the end of 15 years he has paid the debt and owns the house. We will all admit that would be a good business transaction, but we must admit that he has the house instead of the monoy it cost. He hasn't got both. But in this good roads proposition if we vote the bonds it will place $100,000 in some safe bank, (not necessarily Spivey's or Scarborough's bank), but wherever the Commissioners can get the best terms. It will draw 5 per cent, as long as it remains in the bank, which is equal to the 5 per cent due on the county bonds; therefore, if it staid in .the bank a century it would not cost Horry county one cent. But when the Commission checks it out of the ? IvAnlr t.ho intorst. would he naid bv V/V*"" V"W * " " ? " U ' llorry county. Our own citizens , will do the work in building the ' roads and her citizens will have the - money that the roads cost, so our citizenship will be benefited by - the use of both the roads and the I money. I feel confident that if we ) could eliminate factional strife, po> litical jealousy and ungenerous cri ticism from the question our people would vote for the bonds at least * five to one. I i The Legislature passed an Act aul thorizing Marion county to issue ? $100,000 in bonds for building roads, i It seems to me that a comparison of the Marion Act with the Horry or Spivey Act will convince us that the gpivey Act is the best digested scheme. It makes the county Supervisor a member of the Commission. The Marion Act makes the Supervisor a subordinate or servant of the Commission. The Marion Act requires the Commission to deposit the money in some bank in Marion county at not less than 3 per cent interest for the average time it rek mains in bank, The Horry Act provides that the Commission shall deposit it in any safe bank where Q they can get the best terms. The r banks usually pay 5 per cent, for dee posits therefore, the Marion doj>osits will draw 3 per cent, while the Horry deposits will draw 5. The Marion Act actually authorized Marion to issue the bonds without sub mittint? the Question to the people, e which provision may result in iiti 1- nation, The Horry Act submits the le question to the people as required y by the Constitution and thus avoids the probable litigation. I only make ihe above comparison to show tha the Horry Act does, in ray judg 0 ment, throw every possible safe es guard around the interests of th< county and her citizens. Marioi has realized some money on thei scheme <*nd are building their roads If we wish to encourage enterpris i m AY, OCTOBER 13, 1910. Tho Civil Court.

There are a great many people in the county today asking that same old question. Because some of us happen to have a dislike to the author of the "bond issue bill" we need not commence whining and say it is no good.

It is the only way we will ever have good roads and we want good roads so lets vote for it. llorry Boy, Box Suppers.

On last Monday Magistrate Swoet dismissed a case which had been brought in his Court against Clem Ray, of Bayboro township, charging him with non-support of his wife and children. Monday was not the (irst hearing in the matter. The case first came up about two weeks ago when Mrs Ray, the prosecut, ix, and her father, and several witnesses testified, at the close of which the Court stated that no case had been made out against Ray. He agreed to hold the case over until last Monday, for the purpose of allowing Mrs Ray to bring bettor proof. On Monday Mr Arnol Bell, a merchant of that section testified before the court that he furnished supplies to Mrs Ray's family during the time, and that lie filled all orders that he had received from Mrs Ray. Another witness produced bv the state testified that he was a brother of the husband and that ho had been sending severe1 times for groceries to the store and that he always got what Mrs Ray sent for. After hearing this testimony, Magistrate Sweet dismissed the case as the proof was not sufficient to show that the husband had neglected to , support the family. Mrs Ray had left Mr Ray sometime before this ( prosecution, and there was testimony to show that she had left him for other causes than nonsupport. Card of Thanks.

I understand that there has been some critisin of the Building Commission that has in charge the building of the bridges across the various streams of our county. I w.vnt to say that this criticism is unjust at least in manv respects. Th?rtt has been manv difficulties in the way, and lots of "red-tape" connected with the enterprise. After the completion of the now court house, the old property had to be advertised, sold and the proceeds collected, before we could calculate the amount of funds available for the bridges. Then an Act passed by C ingress was necessary. Plans and specifications for the structure had to be secured, and adopted by the engineer's department. Then the location of the bridge at Conway had to be passed upon by the authorities in Washington. After this, bids will have to bo submitted and let out according to law provided in such cases. The amount left over from Ihc building of the court- house and jail has been in the hands of the County Treasurer. The Commissioners have never handled one dollar of these funds only to collect and turn over to the County Treasurer as i no Act provided that all the funds should de deposited and kept by the County Treasurer, Yours very truly J C Spivcy, Secy of Building Commission ? ?
