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.

Sudden Death of D. G. Johnson.
As we go to press this Wednesday
afternoon, we received the paiuful
information that Mr D. G. 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. The news of his sudden
death was received with genuine
sorrow and regret by his Conway
friends and acquaintances where he
was well known and highly esteemed
for his many virtues of heart and
hand.

We wish to call attention of the
County Supervisor to the fact that
the public road from Scarborough's
farm to Conway is badly in need of
work and if something is not done,
it is likely to become impassible
This is perhaps one of the most"important
roads in the county and
should receive immediate attention
Our Sunday school at Union is in
a florish ng condition under the
skillful management of J F Harper

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

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.
Throughout the program th(
school was arranged on the rostrum
with Miss Baldwin at the piano,
and did the singing. Occasional!)

Dr. Watson to Preach.
Rev EO Watson, D D., pastor o'
the leading Melhudist church in
Columbia, but formerly Presiding
Elder of Marion District, will preach
next Sunday, August 13th, in th>
Conway Methodist church at 11 a

alder Dr Watson greatly endeared
himself to the people of Horr>
county, and a host of his friends in
this section will be delighted to have
the opportunity of hearing him
again.

On Friday, August 4 h, 15)11, the
death atiwl visited the homo of Mr

them their only son, Randal Fairley.
All was done that loving hands
could do to stay the hands of death
but the Lord knew best and took
him away. His blessed will must
be done and not ours. lie was
buried the following Saturday at
the Foley comctery in Green Sea
township.
Ho leaves a father and mother,
one sister and a host of friends and
relatives to mourn their loss, but
we hope our loss is his eternal gain
He was about forty years of age.
He never became a member of any
church but kept well up with his
duties. He is gone never to return,
and leaves a chair vacant that no
one else can fill, but we all hope to
meet him again over there beyond
all sorrow where we shall meet to
part no more.
