N V OL XXVII. niojDwi Broke out at flnrlw ^n. tion on the A. C. L. Line. MANY CASES, ONE DEATH Wife of the Station Agent had Severe Case, Hut has Recovered,--One Death at Gurley, and One Patient Moving Away has Since Died,?Cause Supposed to be Drinking Water of Surface Nature. Reports have only recently reached Conway of the ep'demic of typhoid fever which seems to have broke out at Gurley, S. C,, several weeks ago, and which has been raging eyer since, causing two deaths and many serious illnesses. Those who were attacked by the fever are Don Prince, Mrs H, W. Mishoo, Alon/.o Martin and wife, William Tyler, Leroy Tyler, aud his wife, Otto Stroud, Hubert Anderson and a sister of Hubert Anderson, and there are said to be other cases whose names were unkown to the reporter. Mrs H. W. Miahoe had a severe case of the feyer, but at last accounts she was rapidly recovering. Mrs R. L, Sullivan, a daughter of Mr, and Mrs. H. \V. Mishoe went to see her moth?r to take care of her during her illness, and as a result Mrs, Sullivan was taken sick and lost her etiild in consequence of her illness. Mrs. Sullivan's case was not however diagnosed as typhoid fever, but was of another type. ^ Messrs. Otto Stroud and Hubert Anderson are at the infirmary of Dr. H. H. Burroughs here. A lady whose name was not given, it was] said took the fevir while at Gurley, and moved away, the illness proving fatal to hee since that time. Mrs. Hamp Gore who was taken, sick with the feyer also died. It is said that the suiface water from tne pumps and open wells is evidently the source of the typhoid germs, and it has been suggested that the State Board of health should at once take this matter in hand and ascertain if possible the causes leading to the polution of the drinking water at that place. The cases are being attended by physicians from Loris and from Conway. >? 9 m ? N. E. Horn Won His Case. Last week N. E.

WILLIAMS DEAD Noted Capitalist Who Started Career in Horry Dies in Atlanta. J. P. Williams, a well known bus iness man and capitalist of the State of Georgia, died in Atlanta on August 5th at an advanced age, aftor suffering for several yeirs "from a form of insanity which had rendered him incapable during his last years of attending to business affairs, lie is remembered by many of our older citizens because it was in Horry County that he started a great business careor without a penny or means of any kind to start it with. He graduated at the University of Virninia and entered service in the Confederate war as Captain at the age of about 20 years. Immediately after the war, perhaps about 1808, he came to Conway penniless and was engaged as a boon keeper by James S, Burroughs. The next year he kept books for Beaty & Hollidav, at Cool Springs. Abjut the next year ho engaged in a timber business of his own at Cool Springs, and not very long after that established a mercantile business at Port Harrelson where a large business was conducted by him until 1880, when he sold out at that place and moved to Georgia. At the time he sold out and moved away he had accumulated $50,000.00 in money and securities. Since lie moved to Georgia his estate has at various times been estimated at twenty million. Whether he owned all of this at the ti me of his death or not, wo are not informed He owned a railroad which ho built and established, running fr^m Georgia into Florida and which he operated in opposition to another Company, and for which he was ollered at one time by his opponents tho sum of seven million. When ho first moved to Savannah, Ga., he was a partuer with George Watson. After that this partnership was dissolved and he was in business for a time with a Mr, Carson, and it was with him that he next incorporated the J P. Wil liams Company, with a capital stock 10 begin with of three and or.e ball milllion. He was President of thii Company for a number of years, His exact ago is not known here except that he was nearly, if not i little more than 80 years of age a the time of his death. He is surviv ed by his wife, who was a Miss Tay lor and who has been a life long in valid. She was born in Horry Coui ty on the plantation then and eve since known as "Tampico" in Doj Bluff Township about ten miles froL the County seat and at this time th , property of Hon. R. B.

TO SCHOOL TRUSTEES ' Valuable Suggestions Made by Super intendent Hrown. > Dear Trustees: * As you are the governing power ^ of the schools in your community, 1 * take this method of talking to you * for a few minutes in regard to this " year's work. In your community a you are the legal representatives ol r the school and the community looks B to you for wise leadership and exam 11 pie of vital interest} and enthusiast* e in the cause. Permit me to suggest that if yoi have not, you employ at once a wid< awake teacher and .open your schoo at a timo when you can accommo date the greatest number of patron: ?make the largest improvement. Employ no person who is not qua ified or will not agree to qualify a the October examination, lnquiri if your teachers certificate has lap sed, you require Ihem to look afte that. The State Board is looking afte r jj these things close, the County Boar (q and trustees must do the same i (jo order to avoid possible oonfusio 05 and trouble. 55 Trustees of districts which hav 20 voted a tax are urged to employ teacher and furnish the County Su ' permit* itueiiii mtj iuiiuwu g imuriiia rS lion: Name of teacher, grade of cer jq tificate and salary. 25 The Slate Board will pay no clait 05 without the above information, an 75 if you neglect this important part c 85 your duty, your school will lose a 95 the State Aid, any where from $~ ,?y to $100. jl'i The State Aid will bo raised b ^5 taxation this year, and possibly 170 will not be paid out before Januar or Febuary, but I am anxious to (i Horry's Claim at once so they wi be among the tlrst to be approve . and paid. When you employ yoi irJ teacher drop me a card at once. I wish to thank the trustees ar \r" patrons for your strong" support at *'? co-operation.

Tho comparison of the prices obtained for leaf tobacco at the three ( warehouses of the Conway markot for the week ending with Thursday, August 7th, shows that 4h"1 uniform high prices with which the season j opened arc still being obtained by those farmers who succeeded in raising a crop of any fairly good quality at all. The increased amount of w tobacco being sold this year over that of prcyious years shows, per haps, two things; one, that the acreage has been increased.aud more farmers are planting this crop; two, that farmers who formerly sold their product at markets outside of Horry , County are this year selling it at home. With the lively market that . Conway now has, there is no reason j why every leaf raised in the County should not be sold on tho warehouse Moors at Conway.
