Attractive Inducements to Both Capital and Labor. Aflich and Fertile Back Country to Give it Life and Prosperity. * Loris, S C., July 11th,?Special to The Herald: Toe foundations are about laid for the first two story brick building ever erected in Loris It is being erected for The Loris Supply Co., an enterpeising firm 0 composed of Messrs J J Butler and O E Todd The building is situated on the corner opposite the Bank of Loris, and on thes same corner where the Loris Supply Co., forf mjrly transacted their mercantile ( business. Tho old wooden structure was* torn down some time ago to to make room for this elegant now building. Loris Supply Co , will lay the first concrete sidewalk eyer put down in the town. Mr L J ( Clew s is the contractor. Bfsides this brick building the J ! C Bryant Co., and P C Prince are both making arrangements to erect large business houses which will bo , ornament to our town and a credit to the builders. Work on the storehouses will certainly be commenced by January 1st next. Lor is is alive with enterprise and filled to ovei flowing with energy and its business men are straining every nerve to promote the every interest of this growing and y progressive town. We all appre" preciate its great possibilities and ^ realize that opportunity is knocking at our door, and we are grasping them with a faith that knows no ( waving and with a determination that will not cease until success crowns our cfT >rts. When we consider that coaipvratively speaking but a few years ago the site of Loris was locally known as "Patterson's Old Corn Field," the growth and ^ ^development of Loris has been marvelous indeed. But when we fuither consider that it was settled ? I- -- ~ ?- ' I iMiclnoiio f by far seeing ana snrcwu UUOI uvaa | men who kuew a good thing when I they saw it and having unbounded faith in the future of the "Coining City," threw their brai" and muscle ! and capital into the conflict, the result is not in the least surprising , I The'r efforts along these lines have . had the sympathy and co operation | of a progressive and intelligent agr, ricultural dsitrict. tt There are new enterprises now i under consideration which at presk ent are only in their incipiency, but I from the ch iracter and standing of the men behind them, it is safe to m say that they will when once started be carried to comp et'oa and we risk nothing in saying that before very * long Loris* will w taess an era of prosperity t iat will excts t'ae admiration of every Hvo and energetic citizen in the St te and win the ap| ^ proval of its well wishers and at the samet'ine attract both cap'tal and labor seeking investments and employment. f Fourth of July Picnic. On the morning of July 4th, the .Jenrette-Pitman Johnson clans gath ered at Hughes bridge near Galivants F*erry for a "family" picnic. No more beautiful spot for such an * occasion could be desired. Almost * the whole family was there, from " A f\f\ igrand-fatber, now aDout ev .years old,clown to the great-grand-children The crowd numbered about 100 and at least four-fifths of these were of the "family" and perhaps the oth4 era, or some of them at least, want to be and no doubt in time will be The day was spent in having a general good time. There was plenty to eat, plenty to drink (lemonade), plenty of music, Ac , and if any one ^ present did uot have as good time as she or he wanted, it must have been because?ohl well, it must have been their own fault. Among those present from a distance we noticed Mrs. Lucinda Cooper and Gilbert Johnsdn, of Mullins, and J. N. Jenrette of Conway. Cor. Services at Baker Church. The pews have not yet arrived > but services will be held at the Baker Memorial Church next Sunday at 11 a. m. On account of having no seats the series of meetings previously announced was posponed.

GORRELL BROTHERS, Central Warehouse, Mullins, S^C., July 10th, 1911. Myrtle Beach Happenings. Editor Horry Herald: ?As the Herald is a welcome visitor in my home once every week and would be more highly appreciated, if it did not indulge so heavily in publishing so much visiting that is of but little interest to any one even those visiting, nor the parties visited and would leave off printing such heavy burlesque as appears in an item from Murrels Inlet in a recent issue without publishing the writer's name that the public m.ght knov who the neighborhood's fool is. The chap, be he who he may, signs his signature as being "Mammas Pet" and such conduct is as good as could be expected of such a pet, for they are generally chosen from among a gang of hairy mouth curs and frequently they try to get the noisiest one of the sot and I presume that is the case in this instance and if Mammas Pet would esteem honest labor as being not only a duty but a special privilege and a pleasure as all American citizens should, and perform more of it himself, putting his shoulder to the wheel of progress and do his portion in helping to push it to success, he could not find time to spend in idle frivolity Now I am no hand for controversy and do not wish to enter into any such thing, but if this is not enough when I come again I shall fry to give my pet friend the best I have in order to show plainly who he is. Myrtle Beach is all astir and progress seems to be the highest anticipations. The farmers are being greatly encouraged by the recent Hhnwfirs aftftr a continued drouirht which seemed at the tiuue very disastrous. Mr. A. N. Cox has completed a well for the public school at this place after sustaining many difficulties at a very h< avy expente. Mr. W, M. Todd was in regular attendance as is usually the case on such occasions. With highest regards for Herald and all of its intelligent readers, 1 am yours to serve, S. S Owens. Savannah Bluff Items. Editor Herald: ?Please allow me space in your piper for a few words from this place as I have never beard anything from this place. Health of the community is generally good.

I wish to stxy a few words in regard to an advertisement I saw in your valuable paper some weeks ago, wanting a dcctor at or near Hand, S, C. To this I will say I think it one of the best locations in the country. Large territory and plenty of people and generally well to do. Hand is about fifteen or sixteen miles from Conway and about the same distance to Little River, the nearest point for a doctor. This would give a doctor all of the Tilly Swamp section, Salem, ttie largest part of Soca9tee, all of the Wampee seel ion and aside from this would be in close touch with four of the best summer resorts on the Atlantic coast ? Cherry Grove, Windy Hill, Singleton Swash aud Myrtfe Beach. We are all vdry anxious for a doctor. J. B. Sawyer, Nixonville. S. C. Hinson Spivey Able to be Out.

May the time come again when we can have another good meeting at Adrian I will say let us be watching and praying for the time ye thinketh not the Son of Man cometh. Cor. Dots From Aynor.

What is the trouble with the Blanche boys? We would like to hear from them once more. I guess the marrying will hold up awhile now as the license law came in on Saturday, July 1st.

Price 25i 1 IP RSDAY, JULY 13, 1911. Dothan, N. C. Owing to back wardncss of crops, the opening of Dothan High School has been slightly changed to July 31st. On that date the good people of Dothan and surrounding sections propose having a general rally day at the school building with dinner served on the ground. Everything will be free and everybody is invited to be present. Perhaps the best feature of the day will be the address which we are expecting from a man who can speak. There will also probab'y be some demonstration work in removing stumps with dynamite. The prospects for | the school are brighter than eve? i before, and the attendance promises to be more than double what it was last year. We consider ourselves specially fortunate in securing for our music department the services of the talented Miss Bessie Baldwin, of Whiteville. As a teacher she has won quite a reputation for thorough uess, and already as result of her election, several ne.v pupils have been secured for the music class. The little Misses Ruth and Sadie fflmnn. of Chadbourn, are spending several days with little Miss Vera Butler at J. N. Cox's. We are glad to learn that the sick at Mr. J. P. Butler's are rapid ly improving. Several have been down with measles. Master Bruce Cox and Master A. G. Cox have formed a copartnership under the firm name of Cox Brothers.

We regret to state that Willie Mariow is in bed with measles, hope his case will be a light one. Cor. Tobacco Growers.

We beg to flatter ourselves euough to say that we know the business as we study tobacco, it> value and demands twelve months in the year, as wo studied our A 13 C's in childhood.
