For tho second time iiokc oiuitn
has been inaugurated Governor of
Georgia.
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.

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.

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.
A pcpolar air in Conway just now,
and, oh! how we men sing it with
such a vim and hilarity that bachelors
known not of, is "My wife is
gone to the country, O, ho!"
