CONWAY, S. C., rHURS
MANY BUM
This Has Been the Rule in
Conway for a Long Time
INFIRMARIES ABOUT DONE
VI any Tenant Houses Have Been Completed.?Several
New Brick Stores
Have Gone Up.?Many Enlarged During
the Last Year,?Many New
Buildings in Contemplation.
During the year that will soon
jlose, Conway has been constantly
luilding, just as it has been for the
last dozen years. Just now several
lew enterprises are being iiuished
ind will soon bo in operation, For
k long time ,the people have realized
Me need of an infirmary, and thus
Kovent the taking of patients away
'or long distances to hospitals in
itiier cities, Owing to this need,
mterprising physicians started the
dea, and as a result, two are about
jompletod as mentioned in the next
i ><i ? ?? <r riifih ?
Dr. H, H. Burroughs secured tbp
arge building across the GulJ>
formerly occupied by Burroughs &
doltias Company, placed plans v/itn
it contractor, and the building has
ceen turned into a most coinmod,ous
infirmary, having all the rnociren
appliances. This week the
plumbing will oe completed by V.
J. Anderson, and the building will
oe in use in a very short time.
The buildiug of Dr. U. L. Scarborough
near the Conway Baptist
sourch is now well on the way to
3ompletion. It is a large and well
uranged building, and will be all
(ihat is wanted lor the accommoda
Lion of patients. More will be- said
about this enterprise later on when
it is nearer completion.
A C Thompson has erected a number
c f new tenant houses ou the va3ant
lots purchased by him from
B. G. Coiiius. Thov are better
fcnan the general run of tenant k
houses, some of them being two
jtories. They are all supplied with
tvater and will be quite an addition
to that section of the residence
portion of the town.
The two now brick stores erected
Dy G. J3 Jenkins on his lots on 3rd
tlvenue add very much to the appearance
of that part of the business
section. They are complete and
jne of them is occupied by J. ]J\ Raid
The new stores erected by ^V. R.
Lewis near the new court house are
imong the finest built during the
astyoar.* They are quite an addition
to that end of 3ru Avenue.
The new ginnery of Conway Iron
iVorks was completed in time fc.r
?ho present cotton season. It is gin
ling cotton for tho farmers every
lay. i
Many other new buildings are in
iontemplation by various business
muses and business men. Another
('ear will see just as many changes
md just as many uew enterprises as
.012 has brougnt about.
