BUBlUttlPTJON ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR *1, H, WOODWARD. Editor THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 1911 All of the three announced candidates for Governor?Blease, Jones and Duncan?are originally from Newberry county. / It will doubtless be news to many of the friends of Mr James Henry Rice in this part of the State to learn that he has forsaken the field of journalism and has taken to the lecture platform. A great drawback to sucessful farming in Horry is the cost of la _ 1. ? .. . . DDT, wnica 1U Limuy lu.Titiuvjvo up the profits. But ws are glad to observe and proud to pay that this drawback is being more and more remedied each year by the introduction of an improved system of farm ing and the use of the latest improved farming machinery and implements. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is authority to" the statement that nearly $14,000 000 have been expended this year in the Southern States alone in building good roads, of which am >unt South Carolina contributed. $1,100,000. It is a sad commentary upon the patriotism and public spiritedness of the United States government, who uses these roads as post roads and claim and exercise the ri,rhtof way over them, J? It ono oanf tkj bay lulia^ uuy wuui juuuv.v* vuv ouuw toward their construction or maintenance. Yet it is a disgraceful fact. Prof J Frost, the noted Artie explorer, and the only original discoverer of the North Pole, arrived in | Conway last Wednesday night on his aeroplane, "The North Star," direct from his far northern home, with a view of sojourning here, but finding climatic condition* so unfavorablo to his health and well being he mounted his aeroplane and flew to a more congenial clime. He is authority for the statement that neither Dr Cook or Peary ever came any way near reaching the North Pole, but of the two Cook came nearer than Peary. This statement should settle the controversy. TO IMPROVE TAX SYSTEM, The next General Assembly of South Carclina should appoint a committee to revise the tax laws of the State, so as to make the rule of assessing taxable values for taxalion comply with the plain mandates of the State Constitution that all property shall be assessed for taxation at one hundred cents on the dollar?no more, no less. There are othe g aring evils of the present ys tern of assessing property that needs to be revised and improved upon. TIIE NEW DEPOT. A message vii the Grapevine telephone comes to us that the railroad people have abiut decided to grant the request of the business interests of Conway in reference to making the site of the old turntable a pas sender station and that the arcbi-1 tocts have been instructed lo draw j plans for tho depot. This is certainly good news for many of the people of Conway, and should it pro/e true, we will all join in ascribing praise and honor and glory unto the railroad people for giving us that which we so greatly need. This is a plain business proposition, pure and simple, made from one body of business men to another in a business like way, and we are confident that the railroad people will give the matter careful consideration and after an imparlisl investigation will appreciate the great possibilities of the improved passenger service and I the benefits that will follow to both the road and the town of Conway.

Savannah, Qa.?The advance guard of drivers and cars for the Vanderbllt Cup and International Grand Prize races and light car races, which will take place in Savannah on November 27 and 30, have already arrived and are daily trying out tho famous courso over the Chatham county roads. With the large number of entries and tho world's most famous drivers, thcso two big blue ribbon events of automobiledom will unquestionably prove the greato3t road races over held in tho world. Never beforo have two events of such magnitude been held at one time. Heretofore tho Vauderbilt Cup race was held at Long Island In October and the International Grand PH'/o Rnno at Savannah in November. Owing to the inability of the promoters to got the proper protection for tho course during tho raco and tho unequalled facilities offered by Savannah, it was decided this year to hold the big event at Savannah. It can hardly bo called a curtain raiser for the Grand Prize, as it is itself such a world famous raco, but it will be run first and two days later the Grand Prize raco will be run, the two days being allowed to give competitors In tho Vanderbilt race ample time to overhaul and "tune-up" their big space-killers for the Grand Prize event. In these races and the light car events it is probable that over seventy-five cars will be entered. Tho course is seventeen miles long, and with the cars eating up distanco at f MURIUM I If ' :>.? , k! . J I Hearn, in a Flat, passing the grand the rate of 80 miles" an hour, It will be rfcadily recognized that there will always be "something doing" on every part of the course. Specially constructed cars have been entered, the most dare-devil drivers in the world have b?en secured and it is absolutely certain that the excitement is going to be intense and the ruces the grandest sport ever held in the South and, barring unforeseen accidents, the greatest the world has ever yet known.
