Methodist Sunday School Institutes.
The Methodist of Marion D strict
will hold three Sunday School Institutes
at the following places and
dates:
Marion, Octob3r 28th and 29fch,
Dillon, October 30?hand31sT. Couwiy,
November 3rd aud 4tb,
Marion District is composed of
II irry, Marion, Dillon and a pait of
Marlborough counties. It is expected
that each Sunday School in tee
di t"ict shall send its pastor, superintendent
and two delegates ( dicers
and teachers) to the lasiifcute that
is most convenient for them. Delegates
who are going to attend
should write to Rev. S. B. Harper
at Marion, or to Rev. R. E. Stackhouses
at Dillon, or to Rev. A. D.
Bjtts at Conway.
Every Sunday School should
choose tq^ir delegates at once and
send the names in.J
The well known Sunday School
expert, Prof. J. M. Way of Spartinburg,
will give instructions in Sunday
School methods of organ'zation
and teaching, Rev. Albert D.
Bitis of Conway will have charge of
the Bible instruction Special emphasis
will be given to round table
discussions
Each Instisute will begin promptly
at 10 a. m., on the lirsfc day announced
and will continue through
the following day, All meetings
will open to the public generally and
no doubt a greut many others besides
the regularly chosen delegates
will attend.
The Sunday School work of the
Methodist Church is making wonder
ful progress under the leadership
of Prof. Way, who is the field Secretary
for South Carolina. It is
in those county institutes that he
gfts in some of his most telling
work. Hence it is very important
tha^j every Suuday School should be
represented. It affords a splendid
opportunity to rally the Sunday
School forces of each county.
The Jamce Adams Shows.
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. They played to large audiences
at each performance, and
they made good the reputation established
by fcbem hero several years
ago. Tho original James Adams
show, was hero for the second time
last week. 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 shows wore enj yyed last week
by the people, and those who attended
felt that they got value received.

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." Thousands of other
families have been equally benefited
and depend entirely upon Dr. King's
New Discovery to cure their coughs,
colds, throat and lung troubles.
Every dose helps. Price, 50c, and
$1.00. All druggists?H.E. iiueklen

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
