The vaudeville show of James Adams, with his company of zu people, spent the whole of last week in Conway, showing each night in tho week, and a matinee on Saturday evening.

Blanches of the original show run by others, came here last 3far and the year before, but t'aeir snows, while good and clean, did not _ cohie up 'o the standard set by the original when it wa3 here before.

The Family Cough Medicine. In every home there should be a botilo of Dr. King's New Discovery, ready for immediate use when any member of the family contracts a cold or a cough. Prompt use will stop the spread of sickness. S. A. Stid, of Mason, Mich., writes "My whole family depends upon Dr. King's Now Discovery as the best cough and cold medicine in the world. Two 50c. bottles cured me of pneumonia."

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2.ird liliililfil ^ The Big Time Commenced With the Opening on Tuesday, and Will Last Through To-morrow ATTRACTIONS MORE THAN MADE GOOO Two Torpedo Boats of Uncle Sam's War Equipment, the Thornton and the Tingey, Arranged to Come for Tuesday,--The Carnival Company Engaged for the Occasion Arrived on Seven Cars Sunday Afternoon,--Most of the lousiness Men of Conway Have Exhibits at the Fair,?The Lectures by the Experts on Corn, Cotton, Tobacco and Truck Raising,?The Cattle Dipping Demonstrations and the Butter Muking Demonstrations by Experts From Clemson College,?The Canning Demonstrations Conducted by Miss Moore, are all Features of the Great Show,?Many Attractions and Features of Great Importance too Numerous to Mention in Head Lines. Through last week carpenters were busy with hatchet and saw but'ding tho high fence enclosing the Farmers and , llorry Warehouse, and the yards adjacent, in preparation for the first anpuM fair to be held by the Horry County Fair Association, and as fs known the first fair the county hiio ever had. Bins and btjlls were also finished to take care of the lm stock and the other agricultural exhibits. Paul Wesley, the sign pdnt v was employed for nearly a week paintiug the signs and banners [,r the _1 M l? L ! i : - r\ __ II aiiuw. ixuany every uubiueas uuusu m v^oiiway, us wen as some irofh oUier points, had space on the large floors of the warehouses, and many of the exhibits made up of tho wares they carry, were carefully selected and nice ly arranged, and attracted the attention of the visitors. The carnival company which had boon engaged for the week arrived in seven or eight cars by tho noon train on Sunday, at.d by Monday morning were getting ready for opening. Tho merchant') of tho town vied with each other in tho decoration of their show windows. Many of them were works of art. The soda fountains and othor places of business made it a point to be ready for the rush they knew was coming. Arrangements had been made for Robert Fowler to come here and make daily flights with an aeroplane. For some reason he did not come, but in his place there came three aviators, with Jim Gabriel, as manager. The flyiDg machine owing to a mix up in the railroad had not arrived here when tho paper wont to press on Wednesday The manager expected ii on the next train and taere will no doubt be flights to day if the machine arrives. I3y noon on Tuesday nearly all of the agricultural and live stock exhibits entered, had been placed in the buildings. Those who saw tho many and varied exhib ts of tho agricultural products of Horry C maty were impressed with the fact thut nere will grow in perfection almost any crop known to man. It would be impossible to place In the limited columns of a county newspaper an adequate idea of the agricultural exhibits, the cot ton, oorn, potatoes, canned fruits, and vegetables of almost every kind under the sun now being shown. The leading merchants and business men of the town prided themselves on the beautiful exhibits in their booths in the main budding Am >ng the exhibitors are S. P. Havces, L. R. Nicholas, Horry Hardware Co., Spivey Mercantile Co., The Cash Storo, Conway Hardware Co., Kingston it* x ?. n. n i.i i- n. n m it 11 r ' r ui iiiiurtj of., oouwuy r uroitur^ vu , x>. i( riyinun, jaurrougns iV, u.)l litis Co., Nissen-Todd Co:, Farmers' & Merchants Bmlc, J.VV. Sparks, Conway Telephone Co, Conway Live Stock Cj,, G 13 Jenkins, Singer Sowing Machine Co,, J W Sparks has his booth inclosed w th beautiful turned and scroll work, the product of his own plant. The Kingston Furniture Co., has on exhibition a clothes chest made by Mr, Goldtiuch oqt> of IIoiTj grown cedar. The exhibits of fancy work are beautiful and almost beyond description Near to, these are the exhibits of preserved fruits, and vegetables, among them almost any fruit or vegetable grown in this part of the country can be found. Among the exhibits of the farmers there is worthy of mention, the su gar cane of P W Ditnory, the cotton stalk of L U Nicholas, and the cotton I stalk shown in the exhibit of J C Spivoy, raised on the farm of W U Bratcher, The many and varied exhibits of the Farmers' Demonstration Work, in charge of M W Wall, showing fruits, cotton, corn, and numerous other products is attracting much attention. Just to the left of tho entrance to the main building is the boc t'a of the Socastoe Graded School. This effort speaks well for a prosperous community. Among the religious and civic socii ties represented on the floors in appropriate boottis are the flome Christian Temperance Union, Tho Civic League of Conway, Episcopal Cnurch of Conway, aLd other.-. Refreshments are being served every day by some of these. There is no more interesting feature at the fair than tho hotter babies' contest. This is a subject which heretofore has not been given tho atten tion and study that it deserves. There are many who spend their lives trying to improve the cattle, the horses or tho hogs, and never give much thought to the improvement of the babies as a class. Man is indeed the most important consideration, aud the future men and women will grow from the babies of to-day aud to-morrow. Tnis col test is being conducted according to the plan that has been tried at other place*. Many thanks are due to the ladies who started and are maintaining th is contest at the tirst county fair. Their booth is located in the north-east corner room of the Horry Tobacco Warehouse. Among the most important of the demonstrations being given each day at the fair is the canning demonstration by Miss Ida Moore, accompanied: Oy her lectures and explanations. By such means as these the general masses of the people will soon become thoroughly acquainted with the latest and cheajest methods of preserving the fruits and vegetables, always raised in plenty every Summer, but are scarce in Winter unless put up in cans or jars. The other demonstrations of up to-dute farming methods and stock raising being given each day according to the program deserve 'the at tention and consideration of all the farmers of Horry County. Among the most interesting of these is the butter making demonstration. One of great importance to the farmers all over the county is the hog cholera demonstration by M W Wall, County Demonstration Agent. Many time* in the patt the farmers have lost thoir year's meat by an epidemic of cholera. They ought to take advantage of everything possible toward off this plague. The lectures in the yards on poultry will anyone who is pay attjntiou, much that they do not know about the raising and the making of prolit out of poultry. An interesting lecture on the housing and care of cattle was lixed on the program for Tuesday. This is the subject which has received but little attention in the past. The Coaway Lumber Co., are exhibiting in their space a complete fire place made entirely out of the products of thoir mills. The Conway Tele phone Co.. has an interesting exhibit. Among the farmers exhibiting tiae specimens of live stock a id Jpo.ilfc y are:^ L L) Suggs, white opingtons; John H alt, rooster, B iff Opingtoii n nanson, tnree nens, J a Li9wu, Leghorn chickens; W E Giusoy, buokshire hog; Joe Ludlain, Cow; B F Moore, B ill; LI H iosoq c J'; Li A R)'hnson, three chickens; JohnSaylo, one bantam hen; Mrs C P Qjittlebiuoi, three plymouth Hock chickens; Archie Sa9ser, two Gu'noi Pigs; G -P Quattlebaum, chickens; Mrs W S McCaskell, two Rhode Island lt?>ds others are, Mr9 Jack Jacopi, Brantley Burroughs, Mrs Clark, J II Me, Caskell, C R Scarborough.
