Nearly all of the stores and other places cf business closes their doors in honor of the day. Some of the cool drink stands kept open a part of the time and supplied customers with soft drinks. The town presented a lively appearance nearly all day, many people being on the streets as they passed through 'on their way to the beach, here or at Wilmington or maybe to some quiet friend's house in the. country, j There were many trains run from this point to the beach, so that the people had n3 excuse for not taking a trip to the ocean at some time during the day. The last train from Myrtle Beach arrived at Conway about mid night loaded with people who had spent the day in the cooling breezes. So far no accidents have been reported* The crowd at Myrtle Beach as a general rule was quiet and ordsrly. Many people were noticed who were entire strangers, showing f m m't.lrt Rpanh has cast her at UUUf V J fc v*\/ ? w ? ? __ tractions abroad. Although the attractions at our own beaeb seemed to be sufficient for many of our people, still there were a few who hud a preference for WrightsviUe, and they left on the early morning train for Wilmington n . returning on the late train about } mid-night. The crowd at Myrtle Beach which was large at first, was augmented by crowds on every train. When the last train came over from the beach at 11 o'clock, there was hardlystasd ing room in the coaches. Approaching Marriage. Invitations were issued last week announcing the wedding of Miss Kebecca McJunkin Dusenbury to Mr Herbert Hucks, whrch is to take place on Tuesday evening July 16th, at Kingston Presbyterian church.

Although God provided abundantly for Eve and granted her the privilege of the eating of the fruit of every tree, except one in the Garden of Eden, she was not satisfied. She admired the forbidden fruit; and the serpent telling her that by eating the fruit, her eyes would be open and she would be as God, knowing good from evil, she was beguiled by the serpent to eat thereof. But her greed meant more than the pleasure of eating an apple and learning she was nude. It meant a curse upon her, the effects of which every generation has had to reap. Some serpent, from the Piedmont section, who, perhaps, has never spent one month of his life where the Stock Law did not exist, and who knows very, very little of the financial ability of Horry County, will come here and endeavor to im press us that all we Deed to make us wealthy, with little more than a "look and a wish " is The Stock Law. He will proceed to explain how easily we could plant the fertile spots about us without the fatigue of fencing, and how much better our stock would be. He talks as though we could swim in the milk and use the butter for lubricating purpose. At once we meet an Eve. Some one with a desire for more, or to be like some one else is ready to moet her ruin. Remember removing the fences from our fields does not mean our freedom from making fence. If we have that fine stock which the serpent speaks of, it means that we must build more fence, we must have yery large pastures. Too, we must have other extra labor; we must prepare more grain for our stock, aud must daily take them to and from the pastures as few, if any of us, could arrange our pastures so that they might come to ( toe barn gate as they now do. Yes, they have the Stock Law in the upper part of the State. They need it and are flourishing under it. Why? They need it because almost the entire section is under cultivation. Their stock could procure no more food running at large than do they pastured; for the small por* - m ? i - i - * - hods or lanu noi sunaoie 10 cultivation ?nd the streamlets are devoted to pastures. Their farms are, by far, larger than their pastures? hence it being less expensive to fence their pastures than farms. Now, do we find even fifty per cent of Horry County under cultivation? No, indeed. Do we find ten per cent of it under cultivation? Probably so. Well, then, what need have we for such a law when the forests will feed our stock? While we cultivate one tenth and pastures another tenth, what shall *e do about the other eight tenths of the county? Let all the stock food it produces go to waste while we labor to keep alive the few stock we may have in the pastures? If the people want the Stock Law so as to avoid making fences, surely, we will have few cattle and no hogs; for less fencing thau is necessary to enclose the small farms in Horry County would not enclose a pasture sufficiently large to furnish support < for a great number of cows, let alone other stock. A^ain the up country people raise great quantities of cotton of which the seed is an important factor in their stock support. Too, we find wealthy men in that section. Factories supply work for the loss able classes who furnish a market for the farmer. The employers at the mills are able to pay the employees hitth salaries, Mo the farmer has only to carry his vegetables, chickens, eggs etc., to the factory town and receive his own price for same. He gets twenty-fire to thirty cents for frying chickens, twenty to thirty five cents the year round for eggs except Christmas season when he gets forty, or more cents. Has Horry County such advantages? They tell of their tine cows. But they keep only a few. A wealthy man will probably own three milch cows. Is he not able to keep them in good condition where, no doubt, his income per hour would feed them a day or more. But, turn to the man whose farm 1 A A . /I ... does not exceed iweniy-iive acres. He keeps, perhaps, one cow which you may see tied to a stake at some plaoe on his premises where she can now and then pick a bite of vegetation, and one can easily oount her ribs at a distance. It is not a rare thing for a person to spend six months at a boardinghouse. in the Piedmont section, without seeing a piece of baef, But N n Horry, we use beef more plenti fulon our tables than they do this tan colored meat, we buy, called "butts". Nevertheless, the Eves want to partake of the wealth those people aro enjoying with no fences around their fields and daily leading their cows to and from their pastures. But, brother farmer, if we wish to share the ease of our up-country brothers, we must, before we put Horry under the Stook Law, bring Stow; CONWAY, S.

MADE GOODTlS ESCAPE An Intruder, Supposed to Iluve Been. > a Negro, Entered the Home of Mrs Florrie Johnson, in the Early Hours of Last Monday. On Discovering Him Mrs. Johnson Fired at Him But He Made Good His Escape. Last Monday morning at about the hour of 4 o'clock, a man entered the home of Mrs Florrie Johnson on 9th Avenue, and made good his escape, although he was discovered and Mrs Johnson bred a gun at him, making a large hole in the door and in the screen. The time wan not long before time for dop irture of the early moaning \raio, ami ii is thought ?hat the ?uio creant left on that, train. It ap pears that there wa* not sufficient light in the bouse for* the intruder to be clearly identified, but in the uncertain light it was almost certain Ironi the indications that the man was a Negro. He attempted to enter the house from the rear porch, whica opens into a hall-way. The door has a screen which was fastened the night before. When the door opens there is a noise which would awaken one who did not sleep too hard. He cut. a hole in the wire screen, and had reached through this hole and unlatched tue door, and started to enter the passage, when Mrs Johnson was awakened by the noise and called some of the children, thinking that it was probably some of them One of the children answered that iu was none of them, but that it was a negro entering at the oajk door. Mrs Johnson took a shot gun that was kept in the room, and tired at the intruder from her room door, but he had already started to run, and it is not believed that aay of the I 1 - ^ 1_ 1- ! "NT ?

If such a law is a prosperity producer; and such fine cattle grow where it exists, why does our neighbor Marion county send to us for our little <%woods scrubs", as some people call them, to make beef of? Horry is now the only county in the State, that raises enough stock to share with her neighbors. Yes, she is the only county that can furnish her own needs. So, if we sleep until an Eve goes to the legislature, and we are put under that disastrous law, we, too, will look forward to a taste of beef as eagerly as we now await the orange and banana season. Let me here ask the question, is there not, in this county someone who sufficiently regards Horry's future welfare to prompt him to announce himself a candidate for representative? Surely there is. If so let your card appear at once, and we will send you to the legislature All who realise the disaster that the Stock Law would bring upon Horry County are anxiously waiting to give you their votes. Don't let's be deceived by the' serpent, and thereby through our greed for wealth or desire to be as our up-country brothers, where our county is not prepared for such a law, bring disaster upon the follow ing generations.

A Deserved Compliment. Tobacco Jourual, the highest authority comments ou South Carolina's tobacco men as being equal to any in the business as the following will show: Another tobacco auctioneer has gone up to a higher place in the ranks of successful tobacco men. Mr. VV. T. Burtor, of Kiuston, N. C., is the man to whom we refer. Mr. Burton has been admitted into partnership with J. S. Neal, Mullins, S. C , in the warehouse business at that place. Mr. Burton is one of the best auctioneers in the South, or as to that he has but few equals anywhere. Tom Burton has been around tobacco holds and warehouses practically all of his life, and he knows the business to perfection. As a hard worker on the warehouse floors. Mr. Burton has no superior. Boing a hue judge of the weed, he knows its market value, and he will stay with each pile of tobacco as long as there is a chance for one more bid. Torn Burton and Jim Neal will make a strong team. If there is any more popular warehouse man than Jim Neal, we have not seeu bira. We extend our best wishes to the new combination and predict for them a tine future.?
