The Georgetown Lumber Comgrf)any will b^gin J ho erection of ann,other saw mill, either at this point or at Myrtle Beach, about the middle of January, thus ad ling another enterprise to Horry county. The deal for large tracts of timber in the big swamp near Myrtle Bmch wafcl >sed some weeks ago with Burroughs vfc Collins Company. They ar 1 the owners of timber in that section sufficient to run their mili for a number of years The matter of the location of fchc plant is not definitely fixed. The c mp my desires to locate the mill at Conway, and this will bo done, pr jvided a suitable site can be obtained. Negotiations are under way and if a suitable site cannot be obtained at Conway the plant will be located at Myrtle Beach. The main office of this company is at Georgetown. The company now has seven saw mills in operation at. H U'^rnnt. noints in this sec VIV"* wv ** - 1 tion of th<; State, and they ars doing a successful lumber business. The cHicersof the company are M G. Andprson, vice-president; S. M, Ward, president and O. P. Bourke, secretary and treasurer. The vicepresident was in Conway several days recently looling after the business of the company. A Few Constructive Hints. To my opinion this country has had enough of present conditions and is ready for a change. A majority of our people have ome to the conclusion that we have done many things wrong. We have let the machinery of our government fall into the hands of petty politic aos who nave used it lor the bene* fit of themselves?always particular not to do anything that would be a horfc to their political career. Always weighing his words and acts porpe- j tually, lojking lorward to the next campaign Tnere is a wide spread idea among our congressmen that they have to be very careful lest some one will suspect them of radicalism That is foolishness. The idea of a man that makes a study of politics, 1 A.I.. I w, n n 11/1 cone., on/111'rh t.fl I IJiib 13UU U' 1UU <hhj otuoi. V. II.. .. v ? obtain the confidence and votes of the people to com-? out and ask the ignorant and uneducated people who are so busy following their "jar head" and feeding their piuey woods rooters that thev haven't thought of advanced methods, and are al ways too ready to jump at conclusions, thus without giving it a thought goes to the ballot box and defeats an net that would be very beneficial to him. Xr - We need to elect officers with ^ sense aud back-to e enough to stand for reforms that the people were ready for long ago. Give us a set of congressmen and repr. sentatives that will form a sane constructive piogram such as the following-. 1. "Parcels Post." 2. ' No Fence or Stock Law." 3. "Good Roads." 4. "Drainage Leagues." 5. "Cotton covering for fertilizer etc " The bond issue that was defeated by the hands of selfish and indiffera" ent people was a much bnter plan t than the one recently recommended by the grand jury and commissioners, which is good evidence of the inability of a people to govern themselves I am proud of the political i\ volution that has just swept our country and upset so many political bosses and grafters and I hope it will continue until it cleans our govern nient of trust-bustic bossistn. 1 v want our representatives to nerve b themselves for the approaching light and give us the reform that we need so much, and if they fall politically, they will go down with honor equal to that of our forefathers under Washington. Yours till Niagra Falls, n h. s. Gallvants, Route 1. Card of Thanks. I take this method of tendering my most sincere thanks to the friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted during the long illness of my wife; to all who watched by her bedside, ministered to her wants, stood by her in death and prepared and buried her body, or in anv way showed us kindness in our affl'ction, and especially to her physician, I desire to express the deep gratitude of a brofien heart. May the Great Givor of all good bless you all. J. N Jenrotte. ??i? ??? ??????i , - * r?V?l DERIIAM?LEWIS j V Hrilliant SociiU-Kvent at Green Sea on December 28th.

Experience is a Dear Teacher. Mr Editor: Your last editorial relative to our nre pruteciaou, we have 10id with much p'easure, and it is important to keep this matter before our business men and citizens generally until some definite plan ?nateiial'zis for our be\tor fire protection. Mr Editor, if our National and State governments were as careless relative to ihe spread of contagious diseas' s as wo, the citizens of Conway, . .0 of our lire protection, our wnole country would be infested, and our people would die bv the thousands, Pence our ports are quarintined aguist all infested territory. Our sister town, Loris, has been recently visited by a disastrous fire ; and two of the more prominent merchants have had their entire business consumed?all gone up in smoko. The people may say why is all this fuss about lire when we have been doing business here for years and no disaster, but my friends, do you realize that the busi ness portion, at least, of Conway is ' building up very rapidly and several thousand dollars in property as well - as goods are liable to be swept ? away in three or four hours? Our f great need is organization of our > young men into lire companies, and ' when our city fathers and merchants ' see that we mean business they will * come to the rescue with the necessary water works, etc. ,r Mr Editor, the citizens of Conway have responded iu the last few years in the noole cause of building houses of worship and school buildings, now let arouse from our cares lessness and furnish lire protection ^ for these buildings as well as our x business iutorests. Respectfully, Citizen. 1 At the Presbyterian Church. I The first services of the new year ( will be conducted by the pastor at r the Presbyterian church, next Sabbath, January 8th at 11 a. m, and 7 p. ui. Every member of the church should be present and participate in the worship of Uod. and thus begin ; the new year aright. Strangers ' and visitors will receive a cordial welcome. W Boyd Jones and K.

They are beating their living out of the poor people where they go. Needarn Harris. Send us a dollar by the County Auditor.
