If Horry is not now the banner county of South Carolina, it is very safe to say, that she is very near that mark. She generally comes out among the leaders in any contest that is tried along other lines, as well as agricultural. The following telegram received yesterday from Col. D. A. Spivey, who is attending the corn exposition at Columbia, will explain its self: Columbia, S. C. Dec. Gth, 1U10. Horry Herald: Conway S C. '.'Boys exposition great success, Horry in front rank with two dozen exhibits. Probably one of the two' bust counties in the set. Generally c meeed our county makes best show, considering opportunity. Supfc. Brown has complimented the Ifldenfindmii Republic." D. A Spivey. ^ A New Concern. For sometime past rumors have been afloat that an old established business house would soon change hands and placed in the charge of a new management, and as a confirmation of these rumors came the announcement of the retirement of Mr W W Russ from the firm of Russ Adams Co. jv This business was established Some years ago by Mr Russ, .who subsequently admitted Mr N C Adams, one of Conway's promising young business men, and the firm became the Russ-Adams company. Founded and built up on sound business principles, energy and unfaltering perseverance,'Coupled with the standa?d quality of their btock (no "Cheap John" stuff,) the low prices at which the goo/ls were sold, no misreDresentation, courteous treat ment, they succeeded in establishing * a high rating in both Bradstroet and Dun, stood high in thebusiness world and won the confidence and patronage of a large portion of the purchasing public. / The new company is composed of well Unqwn and successful young business men about town and elsewhere, with experience and capital to enlarge the business and push it to still greater success. We are assured that the same High toned business riiles which characterized the old company will be the governing rules of the new concern, and if possible be improved upon. With a new and up to date line of new goods now arriving and to arrive they nowolTur someof the best values ever given to the people of this county and doubtless will attract many customers to their place of W business. The management Jb iqdeed fortunate in securing the services of Mr John Daniels, on? Of1 the most popular and up to date, salesmen in the whole county. Everybody is his friend and he is everybody's friend He will be pleased to meet' them all at tho store'of R'uss-Ad(ams Co, See what they have to say in their half page advertisement in this issue and if you-, want values which are values go there and get them.

Dear Editor:-As you treated me so line for printing my last letter, ft r which I return many thanks, vwill write you a^ain on what I would 1 * ? t 4 It U-1A/I t nr \ \ 1 V\ Cc 11 UD 1 111 PUI' U.-fcU li SU '/JC^l1) nuiv/u will appeal to the young men and bjys of their day and time, what disposition they are to make of our country as it is let down to them. I sometime feel uneasy about our future, btoduce I see so many of oui young men so careless about the conditions of things that exist around them. Knowing that time and tide waits for no man. So as a day passes by and is gone for ever,so is a boy's opportunity, it comes and passes by and is gone forever, and if he should not apply himself as it passes by, it is lost forever, it is something like this. A train scheduled for a trip through the world and this is her last run, and a young man is bent on going on her, and she is to reach his depot at 5 o'clock a. m , and makes but a short stop and waiis for no one and the youug man was already the night betore, but feeling somewhat drowsy when he wakes next morning at 4 o'clock decides tie has plenty of time, and says I will Indulge a little longer and so he drops oil to sleep again, and after a while wakes up again, and when he looks at his watch, and to his great surprise he finds it almost 5 o'clock mid he makes a great rush to reach the depot, but as he is getting close by he hears ^the signal whistle to leave and he strains again to got there, but alas ail too late. Ho is left, for this only opportunity of life is gone forever. So boys and young men never sleep your time and opportunity away, but bo ready and on time to catch every train of life that brings opportunity to you, Let us think a moment how sad it .is to bo too late. Oh! yes, we see the effect of being too late, often in our life some times we see a young man who is well made up in every \yuy, but because he said to his father and to his mother and also to his teachers, when they Vv'ould say to him, come and hurry up you will be left, 1 have plenty of time, acd after a while he comes<to town to look for something to do, but the wide awake boys has every place occupied and he linda no plaoe, but because of misspent time he has to drug, through life in anyway he can, and in many things so, like when we have planted .a crop and inrtcad of working it in time we go a fishing or bunting and some' - - 1 ? -f " ? d * h ! . /I . ? ? /\ rv> A times tool arouuu uuu muuui ouiu*. one else from working, until our crop is ruined and then it is too late to ever get it iq good fix, and so in everything. 'And may I also *ay that in our religious and spirit ual life we can neglect our duty and our opportunities of doing good till we have no pleasure in it, and so becomes nonuseful. Now there is seed time and harvest time apd if we fail to sow we cannot expect" to reap. .So every one should sow g^od seed in early morn of his life so no could have an abundant reaping in the end, and remember how short our time is, it is;eompared to the fl iwers of the field that blooms in the morning and fades away in the evening, so is our life. So what we do must be done quickly: no time to lose. Dear Editor, I would say to the newspaper men, preachers, teachers and lawyers and all leading men, lot us become i uteres ted in saying somethii g to all of our boys and girls that would help them to take hold of their opportunity and become great. Yours. J. II Stanly. Loris, S. C. i. _ _ j Patronize A Worthy Cause.

Dr. M. C. Anderson of the Norton Drug Company chanced to go into the drug store last Sunday night at about 11 o'clock, and was surprised to find in the store, engaged in robbery, a negro boy who had formerly worked for the Company, and known by the name of Walden Thomas.

He had nothing with which to defend himself, but the o< <^ro was armed with a revolver, and snapped it at Mr, Anderson once or U"iuo. As the intruder was pressed closely, ho broko out through a window in one of the little side rooms and escaped. As he left the window, he dropped a trold fountain pen, arid several other articles of value that he had stolen. Ho dropped the pistol which bo had upon the sidewalk in front of the store. This negro is believed to be the same who had been entering the store at regular intervals, in the past, but no one could tell how he affected an entrance to the building. After the occurrence of Sunday night it was discovered that he had been removing the paues from one of the glass windows, which opens on a very narrow alley between the drug store a d the Horry Herald buildiug. O i this window sill was found a large piece of cheese which he had evidently takeu while robbing tome other store on the same night Quantities of blood on the sidewalk showed that he had cut his hands or face in making his hasty exit from the building.
