A SUBSTATIAL STRUCTURE

the Building of the New Court House
and Jail But Commission is Confronted
With a Serious Problem to
Provide Funds to Build the RoAd
Bed.
TLie new bridge across the Waccaamaw
River, near the shingle mill
of W H Howell, will be^ completed,
it is said by ab ?ut the middle of this
week, and will be ready for aceept
tauee by the building comra'ssion.
This bridge has been built from the
residue of the funds left from the
building of the now court house and
jail, and the contract was awarded
f to a building concern located at
Birmingham, Ala., and they have
about completed the work. The
bridge is modern in its dssign and
appointments, and its cost is very
reasonable considering the materials
used and the great amount of work
that has been put into it. It spans
the beautiful stream at a ?rery conveuieut
point.
The most serious problem now
cjnfronting the county supervisor
and his board, is the obtaining of
the means for the purpose of building
tne necessary roads and smaller
bridges and causeays, leading from
tne new bridge to the high land on
the other siue of the river, ' The
county supervisor had a competent
engineer to make a survey of the
road leading through the swamps
^ on the opposite side of the river,
f and to compute the cost of building
f a road there high enough to avoid
the high water which comes at intervals
through the year. It was
found from the report of the surveyor,
that it would take a raised
^oad about a mill and one fourth in
length, and wauld cost in the neighhood
of $100,000.00. This is Dot encouraging,
but they are said to be
facts and they must be looked square
* in the face, Some means must be
provided for this, else the people
will have this costly bridge on their
hands, without being able to use it
and not a cent of income from the
immense out-lay.
A good bridge across the Waccamaw
Riyer at Conway has been a
treat needed for years. This bridge
has been completed, but the problem
P now to be solved is to get the means
for building approaches to it. The
matter will no doubt be referred to
the Delegation in the General As
sembly.
Approaching Marrage.
Invitations were received in ConwaA
las Friday to the wedding of
Miss Martha Louise Robertson to
Mr. George Frederick Nissen. at the
Presbyterian church, LeGrand, Ala.,
nn Wednesday afternoon at 6 o'clock
January 19th, 1912.
Miss Robertson is a cousin of Mrs.
J. A. Norton, and she has spent intervals
here for the past few years,
visiting her cousin, and during that
time she has become known to a
large circle of friends at Conway,
who will be glad to know that she
will make her home here as the wife
of Mr. George Nissen. She is a tal'
ented young lady.
George Frederick Nissen, became
identified with the business enterprises
at Conway a few years ago,
when he started in the mercantile
business here, lie ?s now a large
stock holder in the Nissen-Toda Co.,

in the county, and are located at
the corner of Main street and 3rd
avenue, the business centre or the

but happiness for this pair,

A Message for The Herald Readers ]
By Rev J. M. Fleming
Lumberton, N. C.
TE1E Old Year has been good to us
n fnl P er\vr i rl o n o O V\ a o I
? Utii^auoc a LucKnui x. ?*_?? uuo
presided over its every interest and .
destiny. So, dear old year 1911, 1
we, with sad hearts bid you good i
bve, but we thanR you for your
kindness in dealings and generosity
in giviugs and that the three-hundred-and-sixty-five
days you spent
with us were nearly all without a '
parallel for beauty and pleasantness, j
The readers will observe the fact
that we are speaking both literally ;
and metaphorically. ;
Hut we must address ourselves to
the immediate present. We hail i
with joy the coming in of the New .
Year and in behalf of that visiting <
element found among those of the
femicide persuasion we bespeak for :
the bachelors and other young men
who are in the marriage arena some
very highly enjoyable hours of profitable
pastime, as it is ''leap year" i
and it is the girls' privilege (so we
hear) to go visiting. We sincerely i
hope that the new year may be even ,
more fruitful than the old year was, i
but tjae indications are that it will
not be.
It is going to be a general campaign
year. Politics will run high. ,
There will be many aspirants for
office. Every one will have on tbe
dress of ermine until tbe other fellow
comes on the stand; and then;
oh, m>! the skunk willuung his head
in shame and weep bitter tears over
nis polluting influences upon the atmosphere.
As to who may be nom- '
inated for president we know not.
Possibly W J Bryan or Mr Taft may '
succeed himself. Harmon or Wnson
may be named.. Aud who can
S&y that Uncle J D Rockefeller wid
not be considered? <
With reference to those distinguished
gentlemen who will be governors
and senalurs and representa- <
[ tives and judges, und then all the
I rest. Someone will be elected to
each and every office, but let us all
keep our minds hospitable and pure
A mere backward glance through
history will bub convince us of tne
fact that history repeats itself In
connection with humanity there are
some things we are sorry to admit,
but sin has lain at the door and has
made the way hard for the transgressor.
Alcibiades was a very brilliant
pupil of Socrates, but he was a
traitor and a scoundrel, Lorenz)
de Medici was a poet, an orator, a
soldier, a man of letters, the most
cultured man of his day; but he told
lies, he murdered his friends, poisoned
his enemies and destroyed i
liberty. But what, is all of this
when compared with re.ison and
right! Let this be in cftijo or shop;
field or highway; school room or
pulpit.
The Messiah is no less rn;ij jstic because
Handel, the musician was an
outrageous glutton. Don Giovanni
was no less great because "papa"
Haydu was an old fop and eternally
at war with his wife. # Beethoven
was a tyranical curmudgeon who
treated his friends like they had
been dogs, yet, there were those
who shone like diamond studs in the
shirt bosom of thrift and industry,
good government and society.
In order that we may be right,
we must be able to sec the good in
all and love the G kI of all.
Recently an American preacher
would not speak of the faults of a
very wicked man whose funeral he
was conducting, but sp^ko on the
<rood aire in which the man had lived.
n #-?
So beloved, while some may be
committing crime and do ng ugly
deeds remember there are those who

Episcopal Services.
Rt Rev. VTm. A Guerry, Bishop
of the Episcopal Church in South
Carolina visited Conway on Sunday
Dec, 31st 1911. Bishop Guerry con
uucted the services or the .Episcopal
church, and preached to a large congregation
at 11 a. m. at the Conway
Methodist church.
Sunday evening the Bishop was
the guestaof the Methodist church
and preached to the congregation at
7:15 p m. Buth of these sermons
were very good and greatly enjoyed
by those who were fortunate enough
to hear them. Bishop Guerry was
assisted in both services by Rev.
A. D, Betts of the Methodist church
and Rev. J. E. H Galbraith who
has charge of the Episcopal Mission
here.
Tne Bi.ihop's visit to Conway at
this time was for the purpose of
looking after building an Episcopal
Chapel at Conway. To start this
work, he appointed a building'committee
consisting* of the following:
J. E, Coles, Chairman;
T? B Smith,
?T. Saunders,
These gentlemen are authorized
to solicit subscriptions for this
building and we hope they will find
many friends in their work in our
eommnniiy and we believe they will.
A very interesting feature of the
evening service on Sunday was the
nmiHimr /if fin nlrl I a 1.1 ai? h\r R ioknn
Guerry. rhis letter was written by
Mrs. Harriett Cooper for some paper
years ago and is quite a bit of history
today. It tells of the coming of
Bishop Asbury to Conway and of
his presiding at the old Episcopal
church that stood at Conway just
afier the Revolutionary war.
BUhop Guerry after reading the
let:er said; "history you see, repeats
itself. The Episcopal church
one hundred years ago extended its
hospitali y to a Methodist bishop,
and today an Episcopal bishop has
the pleasure of beiug the guest of
the Methodist church."

If you know your business, now is
the time, rur planters should prepare
tobacco plant beds. Prepare"
t.hem thoroughly. Burn good, hoe
deep and fertilize well Cover the
bed with pUnt bed cloth, and nine
casos out of ten you will have tobacco
plants.
Be sure and make your plant bed
long enough, for it is so much better
"to give than to receive" Even
lobacco plants and even if you are ,
lucky Jenou/h to receive the gift
of plants. The cost of going for
them and the trouble, will make
you feel like the old man on his way
to the grave who wouldn't take
the unsheiled corn offered to save
his life.
If you plant and raise large crops
you can feel sure that Conway will
have the Warehouse room, the
Warehouse men and t^e buyers to
take care of all the tobacco that
Horry County can make. You cant
make a crop without plants. So
look out and f/et tobacco seed from
