boys escaping serious injury from
the bursting of fire-works. 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

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.
Miss B.?ba is the eldest daughter
or Mr Charles Dusenbury, is a
graduate of Winthrop College, ana
she is one of our most accomplished
and charming young women. Mr
iiucks holds the position of bookkeeper
with the First National
Bank of Conway, and the Conway
Sa/ings Bank. He is a rising young
business man, well known her* and
in the county.
A large attendance is expected at
the Presbyterian church to witness
the wedding of this popular young
couple.

here last Sunday afternoon,
leaving surviving him his wife and

* occupied a position with Conway
Bargain House at the time of his
death. The funeral took place on
Monday at Union Methodist Church,
in the presence of a large crowd of
sorrowing friends* and relatives.
Taken from this life while yet not in
the prime of man-hood, and leaving
a young wife, and smatK children,
hoi pod to make his death a peculiarly
sad one. He made a strong fight
for life.
Last Sunday was a hot day, and
the excursion train whic pa ssed
through Conway at 10o'clock bound
for the beach, was laden to its full
capacity with people bound for the
cooling winds of the old ocean. The
crowd of last Sunday was said to
have been the largest that has gone
over on any Sunday yet.

THE STOCK LAW
Would Prove Disastrous to Horry
County. So Savs a Correspondent.
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,

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

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

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.

Ironi the indications that the
man was a Negro.
He attempted to enter the house
from the rear porch, whica opens

who did not sleep too hard. He cut.

reached through this hole and unlatched

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

Mrs Johnson took a shot gun that

Sweet answered, but the man had
already made good his escape. It

precluded this chance of catching

nective mere, rxau meir counties
beeu in the condition of Horry
when they went under the Stock
Law, to-day, they would not be do
ing as well as we are.
liectntly, I heard a very prominent
man who has lived where the
Stock Law existed say that Horry
did not nsed that law and she had
better quit singing it and go to
raising stock, that when Horry was
put under the Stock Law, the markets
in Conway would close and the
people would quit eating beef and
pork.
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.

Good People
By some means a copy of the
Horry Herald feU into my hands
recently. Many of the names I see
tbersin, stirs tender.memories of the
past, such names as Dusenbury,
Sarvis, Stalvey, Hucks, Edge,
Vaught, and many others with whom
I was more or less familiar some
Lhirtv-two years ago wbeu I was
principal of the Socastss High
School. That was a happy year in
my life and memories garnered
there abide. Many of those peopm
are cheerUhed still as amongst the
best friends of a life-time. I often
wonder how many of them still remain

Death of Ezckiel Hawes.

years ago, and departed this

Store Burned,
On Sunday morning July7th, at
2 or 3 o'clock, the store and contents
of J H Cooper, situated about
two miles from Myrtle Beach, were
destroyed by tire. There is evidence
which points strongly to the conclusion
that the. firo was of incendiary
origin, and intended to cover
up the evidence of robbery. The
loss is about one thousand dollars,
and no insurance.

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.?
