Charlosjon News and Courier. 'The new folder issued bv the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company, giving information and schedules with regard to the operation of its passenger trains and connections, carries on its back cover an interesting letter written by Messrs Ashley <& Eistrcup, two Colorad ; inen who setthd in Horry county several years ago for the purpose of ? growing strawberries. This letter, which is dated July 20th, 1911, and whi< h is addressed to Mr E N Clark, the Agricultural and Immigration Agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, is well wo th quoting: 44 'Con p /ing witn your request to advise wuat we have done iu ^rowing strawberries since we moved here from Colorado,' writes Messrs Ashley ?& Eastroup. 'will say that we grew the li s Klondyke strawberries th it, were grown in this sec tion in 1905 and have been growing them profitably every year since. 'Our first year growing Klondykes exclusively was in 1907. Our crop that year averaged between $5 75 and $6 per crate, net. ' 'In 1908 we made 590 crates on four acres and sold them for $2,880, net. 4 4 4 In 1909 we made 526 crates on four and a haif acres and sold them for $2 150 44'Owing to the dry spring in 1910, we only picked 525 crates. The berrios showed the effect of the drought being small and sold for $1,420. %i 'In 1911 we made 506 crates on four acres and sold them for $2,207 4 'We like the country and our health has been good. 4* Tn 1108 some of our Klondyke "inMn cli!?\nn^ t r\ Tiaofrtn UOl UC5 V* Cl U c 11 I ppuu uw xyv/owuuj transferred to a Cunard steamship and arrived at Liverpool in good condition.' "In a letter to the News and Courier, Mr Clark, who recently spent several days in Horry county investigating agricultural conditions there states that the experience of Messrs Ashley & Eastroupis not exceptional. "There are a number of farmers from the East and West in that county all growing strawberries and other crops,' writes Mr Clark, "I never talked to a more enthusiastic set of Farmers in my life. However they have good reason to be as they are all eujuying good health and making money. They say all that is needed is more good farmers to help settle up the good lands that | are uow idle. 1 saw fine cotton growing on lands that had already produced two crops of vegetables this spring Tnat county is compcrativel.y young in agriculture, yet it is making great strides. The farmers are stumping their land, draining and using the up -to-date methods. I took a trip of a hundred miles in an automobile and never saw better crops of corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, etc. growing anywhere than I saw on the trip. I tavn npvor sron hnMor nr rir?h^r or better farming lands anywhere than some of the lands in Horry county and there are thousand of acres of this rich land ready for setters as the timber has practically all been cut oil' aid the owners are offering it at reasonable prices.' "The rich possibilities of the Independent R. public of Horry have long been advertised to the readers of the News and Courier: and in recent years Mr James Henry Rico, Jr., while a resident of Conwav, made thousands of people acquainted with them. We are glad to see the Atlantic Coast Line besirring itself to the end that their development may be promoted yet more rapidly, There is a great field here for railroads to do work which will repay them many fold. Horry co mty is far from having a monouoly of the rich and unimproved farm lands of South Carolina. $100 REWARD $100 The readers of this paper will bo pleased to learn that there is at feast one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all stages, and that is is Catarrh Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, there by destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature ia doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred I)oliars for any case that it fails to cu'e. Send for list of testimonials. Address: F. J.
