Tn polite society it is no longer the proper thing to ask a guest at your dinner table to "have a piece of corn bread." With the exclusive set the invitation is to "have a piece of Pellegra." Remember this when at table. Now that the days for the "first cotton bloom" for the season of 1011 have passed into history, let's see who will be the one to bring the first ripe watermelon to this office. Acknowledgements will be made through these columns, so let them loll in, and the more the merrier and the larger the better. We have had a sufficiency of the cotton bloom diet and a watermelon one would be a delicious refreshing substitute. ? I I The Kingston Lake bridge, in our humble judgment, is in a danger ous condition. Our sympathies go out to Horry in her affliction. Hut when we remember ihat the most active opposition to the two mill road proposition came from a public office, our sympathies stops with Horry county. Poor, tax ridden Horr} ! Others do the dancing and she pays ^,he piper. The excursion to the beach last Sunday was the largest in point of numbers that has yet gone over. Six solid cars of perspiring humanit v, packcd like sardines in a box, is about the number that wcut over. These excursions are becoming more and more popular as the weeks go by and if they continue to grow in favor in the weeks to come as they have in ihose that have gone by it will take ten or twelve coaches to accommodate the crowds before the season is over. Governor Blease is determined that in one way or another the hosiery mills in the penitentiary must and shall go. Aside from health, conditions alleged to exist in the mill, it is wrorg in theory and in practice for the State of South Carolina to bring convict laoor in competition with honest labor. In a measure such a policy is putting a premium upon crime which is against the peace and dignity, as well as the honor ar^J integrity of the State. ? It now takes a marriage license at a fee of one dollar, to b3 joined in the holy bonds of matrimony. The Clerk of Court will furnish the i? ; ? - n J j l a. .1 license upon oeing sunsueu iqui me applicants are mature enough to assume the grave responsibilities of married life. As there are no divorces In South Carolina, so now there will be no more marriages of babies in South Carolina. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. The great transaction is done and after playing hide and seek with Don Cupid for fifteen or more years, Congressman Asbury Frank Lever, of Lexington, has been caught in the meshes, One of Georgia's charming and sweetest daughters shot the arrow which brought him to his knees. The ^annouceraent is made that the happy young Congressman was wedded to Aiiss Ijucile Scurry Butler on Wednesday eveuirg last at St Stephens church, Lexington, S C. The members of the Horry Boys' Corn Club are greantly enthused over the improved condition of their crops and now have bright prospects of winning one or more of the State pr!zas, There is a friendly rivalry among the boys which is an incentive for each to strive diligently in all'fair ard legitimate ways to come out ahead of the other fellow when the crops are harvested. One good sign that the boys are determined to better their former efforts in raising corn is that they are using the plow and the hoe more pod their tongues less. TH"F ?*- -1 i:*1 , INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT. Much has been written and much more has been said concerning the building of several projected railroads coming from nowhere and going /anywhere from Charleston to Southport, with no settled terminus at either end, in view, but all of them holding out flattering- inducementsto take in Conway if certain concessions were made as they pass from the mountains to the sea. For the past thirty or thirty-five years we have heard more or less of these roads, yet strange as it may appear to some, after this long lapse or time, not one of them have existence except on paper. True,during that time, these rumors periodically bob up serenely and our hopes of their ultimate cempletion rises to fever heat as we sit upon the ragged edge of expectancy picturing to ourselves Conway as the gateway to the sea for the coal and iron of the Virginias and Tennessee and returning that for the rich products on their way further inland and to the coal aud iron fields, and we must confess that our hopes were strengthed and encouraged when we compared the great possibilities of Conway for such a position with other places not so favorably circumstanced, for in stance, Rome was built upon seven of Italy's most ragged hills and Atlanta, Georgia's prosperous and beautiful capital city, is but the offspring of a dreary and unpromising chinquepin ridge, but we have been as often awakened from the influence of these pleasing pictures to find that they were only "ships passing in the night," We have not lost hope nor has our faith in the future of Horry in regard to her railroad development been one whit blunted, but considering the subject just now from our viewpoint we are vprv miinh afraid f.Viat. miinh mnro will be written and said before we have a railroad other than those we now have. We would not nor do not discount the benefits that will come to us by having another road through Horry because such a course would be foreign to our idea of progress and at variance with all the principles of enterprise. Nor would we withhold whatever influence we might have in furtherance of any legitimate propoposition having for its object the building of another railroad, yet, according to our best judgment, we are deeply impressed with the conviction that what Conway and Horry need above and beyond everything else in the way of the betterment of our condition at this time is more industrial and agricultural development rather than more railroads. We already have an outlet and in Jet to aua trom tne outside world. It opens to us splendid markets in every section of the country for the sale of our products and the purchase of our supplies to the best advantage and gives us quick transportation with satisfactory schedules, and is as accommodating to its patrons in the section which it traverses as could be reasonably expected from a monopoly, yet our agricultural interest is receiving but little attention compared with what should be given it and its great importance to our prosperity demands and our industrial ones none at all. The greater part of our territory remains in a condition of primeval luxuriance, uncultivated and practically useless to supply the necessities of man. What we need and what we want to see is our swamps drained and forests cleared. We want to see the cotton and corn and other farm products supplant the rose may and the swamps and bays made to yield abundantly of the ripe fruits of agriculture. We want to see improved live stock grazing upon our rich meadows and pasture lands. We want to hear the wheels of industry humming in factory and shop and the ring of the hammer and the sorg of the caw in every town and hamlet in the county. We want to see our people enthused with a commendable spirit of industry, energy and enterprise?three factors which makes all things possible. We want to see something doing which will induce capital and labor to come among us and help in the great work of development. We want something done that will make the railroads beg Horry for concessions and not Horry beg the railroads for favors. In other words we want to see Horry the master and the railroads the servants, To bring abou t this result we should foster and encourage our industrial and agricultural possibilities. 6 HORRY HERALD THPBBDi Then our banking institutions and commercial interests should join forces with a view of promoting the interests of the farmer and the man ufacturer to an extent that they have never done before. With all working together with one object and one purpose?the industrial and agricultural development of Horry county?these results are as sure to follow our earnest and intelligent efforts as the night is to follow the day. TAKE COURAGE, BROTHER. The whiskey problem is apparently as far from a satisfactory solution as it ever was The announcement made the other day in the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission in reference to the transportation of the cheapest and meanest grades of whiskey, reads the report, into the dry territory pf the Southland, is alarming and discouraging - ii I 1 3 x _ 1 I to loose woo nave unuenuKen uy both legal enactment and moral sausatiou to prohibit the sale of whiskey and thus stamp out the evils following its use. There is something wrong somewhere, somehow. It may a little screw loose in the machinery which causes annoying and disappointing friction in the workings of the hw and its enforcement, yet it is apparent to the observer that while prohibitory laws have by no means stopped the sale and use of whiskey they have resulted in a great reduction in the sale and use of intoxicants and at the sametime built up a strong, healthy public sentiment favorable to the enforcement of the laws and put blind tigers on the run. The accomplishment of these things should be a source of gratification to the earnest and sincere prohibitionists whose heart is in the good cause and whose delight is in the work of elevating the standard of morality and purifying our citizonship. Iustead of being discouraged by the adverse report of the Interstate Commerce Commission they should take heart and press on with greater determination and renewed energy to greater achievements and grander results.
