In Open Competition, Asking No Favors,
While Not Now the Banner County
She Comes Off With Flying Colors.
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.

bust counties in the set. Generally

^ 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,

half page advertisement in this issue

Some Inspiring Reflections.
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.

Nortons Drug Store Burglarized
by Negro.
MADE 6000 His ESCAPE
Walden Thomas, a Negro, and a Former
Employee, Discovered in the
Store Sunday Night by Dr. M. C.
Anderson, Manager.
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. Mr. Anderson discovered
I l-WW #* /"% #1 ft UH V-l A OnfDI?oa lit

front door, and at once turned on
the light. 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. On one occasion re7mao
