NEGOTIATIONS NOT MADE
A Proposition*Had Been Made Which
\Y as Evidently Not Accepted in the
Matter,?Large Block of Stock Purchased
by Messrs. I) M. Burroughs
and J. E. Bryan,--Interesting bit of
* History Concerning Line Belated in
the the Times.
The Georgetown Times, recently
eontei ed two articles to the effect
that there 7?as a largo deal on foot
whereby Mr. A 0 Thompson would
become the owner of a majority of
the stock in the Waccamaw Line of
Steamers, and that the deal would
likely go through. Investigation
here shows that negotiations were
or> for several days between Mr.
Thompson and Messrs. D. M. Burroughs
and J. E Bryan, but the pro
position that was made for the sale
of the holdings was not accepted
and the deal has not gone through,
and it is not likely that any change
in the ownership of this line of steam
ers will take place.
Recently the holdings of Mr. F. A.
Burroughs in the line were purchased
by Messrs. J. E. Bryan and D
M. Burroughs, and it was with these
latter, as v e understand it, that the
negotiations mentioned in the
"d imes" look place,
t. The "Times" in a recent issue con
taiued the following bit of history
concerning the Waccamaw Line of
Steamers, which will be interesting
to many people here:
The Waccamaw Line was organized
some thirty-four years ago by
. , Burroughs & Collins, of Conway,
with the old steamer Juniper, of
which '.'Charlie" Gilligun was captain
and "Charlie" Elliott engineer.
Later the line was enlarged by the
addition of several boats, under the
direction of Capt. Henry T. Williams,
who for years was commodore
o! the licet, and "Ike" J. Williams
was tbe fleet chief engineer. Both
of thc-cv excellent gentlemen are
now dead, Por thirty-two years Mr.
Donald T. McNeill has boen manager
of the lino, and he is still with it
in the sumo capacity and as part
owner, The lino's fleet at present
consists of the P. G. Burroughs, the
Ruth and the Mitchell O., steamers,
and one large gasoline towing boat,
used principally on the upper Waccainaw,
taking lighters as high up
as Piroway Ferry, N. C.
Coughs and Consumption.
Coughs and colds, when neglected,
always lead to serious trouble of tbe
lungs. The wisest thing to do when
you have a cold that troubles you is
to get a bottle of Dr. King's New
Discovery You will get relief

of Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My
wife was down in bed with an obstinate
cough, and I honestly believe
had it not been for Dr, King's New
Discovery, she would hot be living
to-day," Known for forty-three
years as the best remedy for coughs

the meetings was the unusually
large attendance. Kev. A. N. Brun
son of Sp irta^burg who did the
preaching, h vd a strong clear way of
presenting iha truth,N and he also
won the hearts of his hearers. Brief
and to the p ?int his messages were
almost irreMsuoie. Many persons
l ave r? solved to load better lives
hereafter.
Mr. iirunson left.yesterday morn
irg on the early train returning to
Spartanburg via Dillon, his former
parish. The Marion District Oon
ferenco is in session there this weak.
Mr. BrunsOn leaves a host of friends

Strawberries that we have yet seen

One of The Largest Lumber
I'lants in the World
ATLANTIC COAST CORP.
Loss of Immense Properties of Atlantic
Coast Lumber Corporation at
Georgetown Reported,--Only Meager
Details Obtainable,--Largest Plant
in the World,- Helped to Make
Georgetown.
News reached Conway last Mon:lay
evening that the plan1, of the
Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation
it Georgetown had been destroyed
Dy lire. A travelling salesman who
eft Georgetown on Monday irornng
and arrived at Conway in the
Afternoon, stated that the plant was
miming up when he left home. It
was later that a telegram was received
by Mr. M, G Anders son
from his brother an employee of the
Coast Corporati >n, which stated in
effect that the entire plant had
been destroyed,
The Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation,
successor to the Atlantic
Coast Lumber Co., as tho concern
was named when (irst organized,
erected at Georgetown more than
ton years ago, what was then the
largest lumber plant and planing
mills in the world. The company
purchased options on the largest
tracts of timbor to bo had, and they
ran railroads to large tracts which
before had been regarded as inaccessible.
They conducted the lumber
and timber business, and many con
aeeted enterprises on a very large
scale. They located their plant at
one end of Georgetown, and before
long Georgetown swelled into a city
of twice its former size, so thai the
half formed aud built by the lumber
company, carne to be called "The
New Town". The burning of such
a largo en tor prise and one so important
in the Industrial life of this
section of tho State, throwing about
three thousand hands out of em
ployment, struck amazement in tliminds
of all who heard the news,
and it was a shock to this entire
section.
It is not stated whether the plant
will bo rebuilt, but it is thought
that operations to that end will begin
at once. The full extent of the
catastrophe can hardly be realized
but it is st.at?d that the loss is fully
covered by insurance.
Later it wasronorted from George
town that two of the mills, together
with the power house and two dry
kilns, and a vast amount of lumber
about leu million feet, was extent ol
the loss to the plant. This moans
that two of the large saw mills belonging
to them were untouched, as
also the chemical plaut. The loss is
estimated in Onnfm-i c\ kx/ n ! y. m hr>?i f I
^ vw l? l* 1% J uv/wu u
one half million dollars, but this is
completely covered by insurance.
The later news also stated that the
management of the company stated
that the work of rebuilding and re
placing would b^gin at once, and
that the two mills which wore not
destroyed will be run day and night.
Prom this it seems that the fire may
nob be as distastrous to the large
number of employees, and the business
interests of Ge)rgotown, generally,
as was expected at first
Soon after this great fire started
the pumps got out of fix, and afcer
that it was practcially imposible to
check the flames. The plant of the
Dupont Powder Co,,, wh eh makes
alcohol out of siw dust was save:! by
most heroic work on the part of the
management at d employees ?of this
enterprise.
