5? - * ? f *6 A VOL XXV. B9: 100-Boom Hotel Probability of the Future. MERCHANT THFPROMOTOR While the Proposition is not Authentic ^ Yet Everything Points in that Direction. A New Livery Stable, Sev eral Stores and an Opera House Included in the Hotel Proposition. Wonderful Things are Happening in Conway and Still More Wonderful Ones are to Happen. It is rumored about town, which rumor has neither been denied nor coniirmedjthat the erection of a hundred room hotel will shortly be * commenc3d in Conway It is said that this hotel will have all the modern improvements and conveniences ^ including its own electric, water and sewerage systems and will be run in a first class manner in every rpfcnftnt. While it is true as stated above that this rumor may not be considered as authentic, yet it is equally true that the report comes to us preftty straight, and all the signs point iu that direction. Material, including brick and lumber, is now being placed on the proposed site and we understand that propositions are being considered from several well known contractors. The party who is alleged to be promoting this enterprise is one of Conway's most progressive and sucj cessful business men who has great w faith in the future of Conway and the money and the energy to carry his plans and purposes to a successful completion. All his business undertakings have heretofore been a marked success and there is not the slightest doubt that it he undertakes this hotel proposition it will ^ also be a success. In connection with this hotel building will be an up-to-date livery stable, .several store houses and an opera house. ?? Wonderful things in the way of improvements are happening in Conway and still more wonderful things are to happen. In the meantime we will see what we will see. I 0 I (_ . * In Loving Memory.

Johnson, better known as "Less" died suddenly at his home on Galivants Ferry, R. F. D No. 1, Tuesday night. It is said that he ate a hearty supper and seemed to be enjjying his usual good health but was taken t-uddenly ill during the night pre sumably with an attack of accute iudigett*on and after sullering excruciating pains for a while his sufferings were relieved by death. Mr Johnson was a successful farmer, a kind neighbor and a good citizen and in his untimely death tbe community in which he resided has lost a progressive and public spirited citizen and the county a true and loyal son.

Why shouldn't the old veterans of this county have a reunion this year? Farmer. Tobacco Growers. , We wish to submit a few facts worthy of your consideration. From July 20th to August 1st, we sold 41 per cent of all the tobacco sold in Mullins, which ouly lacked a small fraction of selling half, and from July 20th to August 1st we averaged $3.80 per tnousanu pounas more than the total average of the market. On one million pounds of tobacco, at our same increased average, we would pay to our customers $3,800 00 above the total average of the market. We made this record on the commonest tobacco in the crop, and with the same eflfortr on good tobaccos wo hope to do a great deal better, Tobacco is selling better this week than at any time since the market opened. We will make ic to your interest to fell witu us. Prices are as good now as in 1902 Very truly, Neal & Dixon. Ice Cream Pakty.

I g? DAY. AUGUST 10. 1911. A Biff Day at Dothan. Rally day at Dothan High School Tuesday was a decided success. The addresses wore far aboVe the average, and there was not the least thing to mar the pleasure of the picnic dinner. One old gentleman remarked to the writer that it was by far the biggest day in the history of the school, adding that he had never witnessed anything like the interest that was beidg manifested in education. Tne poopie came from far aud near, liy eleven o'clock \here were more than enough on the ground to (ill the seats wnich had been couo.i'iu'i.pd under the immense arbor. First, the Kev Mr Creech, of Horry county, was introduced by YV K Suggs, a student. Speaking from the text: "Where is the lljok that was given thee he held the undivided attention of his audience until the noon hour, when dinner was announced. J N Cox, chairman of the school ooard, in making the announcement. declared that only one of two things could keep everyone from the lull enjoyment of dinner. He said there might not be a sulliciency for all, or that some one might be too stubborn to eat. Several hundred people are witnesses that neither of his supp isilious came true. It was soon ( vident that the heavily loaded tables contained more than could possibly be consumed, and it did look like such a pity for those good things to be carried back home; that if there was nnv utnlihrirnpss manifested, it was ' ^v ^v v w / 1 in leaving the tab'e rather than iL coming to it. Possibly the chicken gizzards did give out. It having been noised abroad that Creech wuf a notorious gizzard eater, a combination was formed by some of the boys, and the whole product was cornered. . It was 1:30 before the crowd could be induced to leave the tables and be seated. Senator Brown, being introduced by RL Cox, then brought home to his hearers in a most soul stirring appoal, the fact that character was absolutely necessary as a foundation upon which to build an education.
