Agitation of the Subject Has Brought About Satisfactory Results. For somotime past th8 progress ive citizens of Conway have realized the great danger to the property oi the town by reason of the inadequate ! means of fighting fire and have ugred upon the city fathers time after time through these columns to provide better appliances for this purpose and it seems that this agitation bas at last produced the desired effect, as we understand from a reliable source that the council has nln/m/] <1 ? n <r icnlana fi LtLI uruci 1UI U gusuicuu ill b engine with the manufacturers of the hand engine now owned by the city at a cost of about ""$1,800. and that the engine is uow uuder construction at the shop9. This is a p< erful machine of the tri-plex piston system and is guaranteed to throw 3 streams of water J30 feet high at an angle of 45 degrees and 80 feet perpendicular through 1500 feet of hose and is felly warranted to do the work necessary to ensure any reasonable demand made upon it. Our municipal authorities are deserving of a full meed of praise and the commendation of "Well done good and faithful servants", in giving to the people that which they have so long and so earnestly de mand and of which they aro so sorely in need of. The old hand engine will be keen is an emergency engine and used whenever it services may bo requir3d. Inother Reply to "Tar Heel" this Time by a Womau. Editor Horald: Please allow me i place in the Herald for a few words n reply to "Tar Heel." I heartily oin the Sovereigns in their reply ast week and I feel it my duty to iave a word to say, but I cannot ;xpress myself as fully as I wit*h to. "Tar Heel" said that the world ihould forget tho Hayes trial as soon is possible. No, the memory of that jruel deed of that heartless woman ind that unjust verdict that jury endered will burn fresh always in the minds and hearts of all honest Christian hearted people. How can we forget a deed so cruel? "Tar Heel" does not sympathize with no 3ne but the murderer. He does not *n<frw tho many hearts that have aeen made to mourn or the many iears that have been shed. He does 10b know the victim has a mother iviug that lovod her boy dearer diau life, and he does not know the inguish she has suffered in seeing ler son s'ain by the bands of a wick?d hearted woman, and this must ill be forgotten. Ah, possibly it nay. He inferred that she would *??fr. fitnnorilont. fnt* hnp <1ppr1. N(>. die will never get it, for it is not jromised to her in the lids of the 13ible. When anyone wilfully and naliciously takes the life of the innocent there is no forgiveness for jhem. He inferred that the tenderest feelugs of sympathy should follow the foung woman. But surely she gets, nut little sympathy from no where that I have heard, 1 am a woman *nd I know something of a woman's aeart, or at least the heart of an cionest woman, and I feel and sympathize with all that deserve it, but [cannot tolerate nor uphold such wickedness. Neither do I think a woman should have any more favors in law than a man. When she doo9 wrong she deserves punishment just the same as a man, and as long as such as this is the case, what hope have we for our own boys and girls of the present Suoh only increases the desire ror crime ana our oeautiful country will grow worse every, year if crime is not puni>hed instead 1 of upheld, A word to Mr "Tar Heel's" bonsst jury. I know there areas honest feeling men in North Carolina as there are in the world, but in this instance the;* were set aside for future use, and those chosen that eared not for the welfare of either side, only for that mite of a bribe they may have received, but all too soon that bit will have slipped away and they will yet be in need of friends and money. Mrs Hayes of course claim? that her honor was assailed but [ join "Sovereigns" in saying it was not assailed by Robert Floyd. In her statement she said be had always acted a gentleman and I know he did to the last. Ho was not killed for what he did, it was for what ho positively wouldn't do. * Iu conclusion, I'd like to refer to a certain ex-representative or Hor...

THU IB j Myrtle Beach Property Leased by Mr. St John OPENS SATURDAY MAY 27. The New Management Promises Many Improvements and the Railroad Company to Put Down Heavier Rails. It will be welcome news for the people of Eastern North and South Carolina to learn that Myrtle Beach will be open the comiug season under most favorable auspices and in all probability this delightful summer seaside resort will push its way to the front of Sea Side rescrio and win a popularity it is justly entitled to. At no other point along the entire Atlantic coast can a finer beach be found. The surf bathing is unusually fine and the sea is without an undertow that renders so many bathing places dangerous. The lessees for the coming season are Messrs. Charles and Leon St. John who for the past fifteen years have successfully conducted a winter resort hotel at Southern Pines, N C. The gentlemen will put the Myrtle Beach Hotel in first class condition, installing a new new system of plumbing, repainting and decorating the hotel and making many needed improvements The bowling alleys, bath bouses and other attractions will be put in the best possible shape and all who wish to find a pleasant plaice for a summers outing should bear in mind Myrtle Bjach The great obstacle during the past few years has been the inadequate train service. This We understand will be remedied The Atlantic Coast Line will soon begin the relayiug of the rails, providing a heavy rail, so that the safety of the regular and excursioo trains can be assured. The season at Myrtle Beach will open Saturday May 27th. Fleeing froui Pillar to Post. By reference to newspapers in near bv towns, Mr and Mrs N M Hayes who were connected with the sensational murder trial at Whitevilie, N. C , are now wanderes over the earth, unable to find employment or resting place. The people at Tabor, N. C , it is said, refuse to let them stop at Tabor, after they had been turned from Whiteville, and a petition was circulated at Lorn, and. got many signers, requeuing that they should not stop at that town. The Wilmington Star in one issue of last, week, stated that they were in Wilmington and a dav or two after that there was a columnjn the Columbia Daily Reonrcl In fhfl pffppl, (hat, t.hflv vapa in Columbia, and that he bad applied for a position with the Street Railroad Company, and that the Manager of this business recogniz d Hayes having seen his photograph, and re fused to give him a job though the company needed a man, Hayes is a barber, but in a large city he would have to join a union in order to work at his trade, and the paper stated that Hayes did Lot believe that the union would accept him as a member.
