M> rtle Beach Will Suffer as
a Summer Resort |?,
[<
EFFFCIIVE JULY I3TH ;
G
The Suiuluy Trains Will run Between r
Chadbourn and Myrtle Beach as They
did Before, ?Iia A road Company ran a
its Sunday Train so People Might 1
Spend all of Sunday at Seaside,? ^
This They Claim Cannot do With $
Three Trains Each way. e
After the recent meeting with the s
railroad commission of South Caro- ^
g
lina, relative to the Sunday mail ^
train between this point and Chadbourn,
the commission ordered the 1
company to run its passenger trains f
on Sundays the same as it had been j
doing on week days. Previous to
this tho Coast Line, at the opening t
of the Summer season at Myrtle J
Beach, took olT the afternoon passen- 51
uaiu num vyiiuuuuuni to V_/On*
way and ou to Myrtle Beach, and ^
ran its Sunday train at an early
hour from Chad bourn through Con- ^
way and other intermediate points
arriving at Myitlo Ikath bifore
dinner time, and leaving that place
late in the evening, thus enabling
the people alcrg its read to spend s
the entire day practically at the sea- 8
shore. ^
After the recent order of the com- c
mission, the proprietor of the hotel a
at Myrtle Bcoch was informed by 1
the management of the railroad that (
^ it could not support three trains i
daily between Cnadbourn and Myrtle j
Beach, and that beginning on July v
18th, tbe passenger trains on the i
Conway branch would run as they <.
do on week days. The train on Sun a
day afternoon * ill arrive at Myrtle t
Beach at 2:15 p in and will leave at
2:35 p m. c
This is rather a hard blow to the |
hotel at Myrtle Boach as a large portion
of its patrouage was drawn
from people who v . si ted the beach !
on Sundays, Soim other change in
the schedules may be made ia the .
near future which may in a measure
mend nutters, but as it is now, the
service will be unsatisfactory to J
many.

The W. O. W. monument to the

Public Library Notes. 1
Col U. 13. Scarborough has prosented
the Library with a full set
of the Harvard Classics, more popu- |
larly known as Dr Elliott's FiveFoot
Shelf of Books, tire reading of ,
which will give any person the
equivalent of a liberal education.
There are fifty-three volumes in all j
and cover the whole rango of the ,
world's best litoraturo in biography,
history, fiction, science, religion,
etc. At the rate of one book a weei<
it would take only a weok more
than a year to read all the books.
We hope that many of tho young
people especially will undertake the j
reading of the wholo set. The mem
bership fee of the Library is only $1
a year. In other words you can become
an educated man or woman for
only $1 a year, It is a splendid opportunity.
See the librarian at once and pay
your feo and haye the use of these
and many other excellent books.
The librarian is Mr. Clarence Ses1
sions.
' The addition of this magnificent
set of books gives the Library over
1000 volumes. The management
and friends of the Library appreciate
this generous deed of Col. Scar
borough's very much. He has
shown himself a true friend of the
library before, and this latest gift
merits the highest praise.
During the summer months the
Library will be open from 5 to 7
o'clock every afternoon. It will
not be open at night at all, until fur
j ther notice.

A Lengthy Report Mndc and Publish- 1

?_ iu v/iictn up nit* muiier
The shortage in the county treasurer's
oflice occuring during the
t rm of J N Jonrotte was published
in the State papers a fe w days ago,
through a report made by an expert
appointed by the officials to go isto
the matter in details. The same
amount nearly one thousaud five
hundred dollars was found to be
lacking. The report also covered a
matter in the sheriff's otllce during
the term of B J Sesoions In this
last there is involved a quunity of
tax executions for which ttie sheriff
h is never received credit. It appears
that those executions arc in the
sheriff's office, and Mr Sessioas
states that as they were nulla bona
executions, out of which nothing
could ever be collected, he took
them to the auditor and asked for a
receipt, which was neglected, and in
the meantime the auditor got sick,
and ho had to got the executions
back again. It is stated that this
ma'ter in the ex-sheriff's administration
can bo easily arranged by
his turning over these nulla bona
executions for a receipt which will ?
balance his account. The report
made in the matter failed to stato
that those executions are 011 hand,
and for thut reason the report may
carry a wrong impression. The
readers of this paper are already familiar
with the shortage in the
treasurer's oflice occuring during
tie term of ,J N Jenrotte, A suit
will no doubt be brought in the
near future tj collect this amount
from the bond.
HOW THE ITIl WAS M'ENT.
Some Enjoyed the Pleasures of the
Hall Games,?Others the Seaside.
Last Friday was the Glorious
-Lh. Until the oyening before
everybody expected that the railroad
company intended to run
special excursion trains from Conway
ti Myrtle Beach, just as it had
done for the people for several years
back. To their disappointment
they found that none but the regular
schedule trains w >ul.l be run.
In this way many pjopli worn prevented
(rom spending t le -1th enj lying
the cooling breezes ot the beach.
Quito a number however, went over
on the regular trains, and at the
Sea Side Inn, Mr. G. M, Nance had
a large crowd of guests for dinner.
There was a base ball game be- v
tweou Conway and Loris on Friday
morning, and one between Conway
and lior&owood on Friday afternoon.
A crowd wont to each place, and
many of them took iti both. S une
went to these on the trains, others
i/ot there by automouile and ?thar
means of conveyance. Practically
all of the stores in Conway were
closed for the day. Tho day was
very hot and those who staid at
home remained in the shade to avoid
the hot sun.

All in all it was a yery quiet holiday,

There was very little display of

i
News came from Columbia last
week that the dog's head recently
sent there for examination for rallies,
showed no signs of that disease.
Mr F M Parker whose son was bitton
by the dog in questirn, was consequently
much relieved.
William Burgess, a well known
citizen of the Burgess neighborhood,
spent some time in Conway one
day last week on business. Mr Burgess
is a very mtertaining talker.
