THE PREMIUMS AWARDED
The First Annual Fnir of the Horry
County Fsir Association Came to
the end With Had Weather,?The
Premiums and Prizes Were Interesting
and Valuuble,--The Grounds
Visited by Crowds of People,--Carnival
Compuny did Hushing Business.
*31 c fiut annual/air came to a
close on last Friday at 5 o'clock and
it will go down on the record as a
successful one. Hon A. F. Hover
stated in one of his speeches that
he had seen many county fairs, but
only one in his life that was ahead
of this one. There were others who
confirmed his statement. On the
first day the attendance within the
grounds was net so large. Tno second
day and tho third saw immense
crowds going in and out all of the
time that the buildings were open.
Friday, the last day came iu with
wind and rain. This cut down tho
crowd to a great extent, though the
attendance uudor tho conditions was
good even on the last day.
Many who-had doubts about the
success of the fair expressed themselves
as being satisfied at last, and
the general mass of the people have

to result in a larger and more succossful
fair next year.
The fair brought to Conway to see
the products of Horry County the
pe ople from many parts of the world.
They have goue back home knowing!
more than they did before about the;
resources and possibilities of this
section of South Carolina. The fair
has helped ti advertise Horry County,
and tho results it will bring are
impossible to estimate in dollars and,
cents.
Our Congressman J. W. Rag&dalo
nnd Representative A. I<\ Lover,
will be a candidate in tho coming
campaign for a higher place, ar.ived
nere with me torpeuo boats.'
They made speeches to a large an- '
dience at the court house on Thursday
just before tho last II ght was
made with the flying machine. Their
speeches brought forth frequent,
cheers. The people seemed especial
ly pleased with the action ol Mr.'
Ragsdale in obtaining the two naval I
vessels for the fair, also for the interest
that ho showed in the fair
after he arrived here.

lecture before the business men of
the town 011 the subject of the cattle
tick, There was a good attendance
and plans were discussed for ridding
the county of this pest, which in
years past and at the present t me
has prevented tho raiai. g of fine
cattle in this section. What was
said and done hero during the fair
concerning the cuttle tick will no
doubt result in getting the farmers
rid of this trouble.
There was nothing of more importance
at 136 fair than tho frequent
lectures by exports on the different
agricultural subjects that are just
now being kept, "before the public
such as butter making, canning and
preserving, the housing of livestock,
the extermination of various pests
to tho fruits and other crops, and
many more things of grcal interest
to the farmers. Many farm >rs heard
. the lectures at the fair, and many
learned much by it,
The fair grounds wero open by
day and the carnival company by
night. Each night during ibe fair
the people gathered in the fair
grounds to havo a good time and

the visitors to the fair left with a

I III FLYER
The Bird-man Engaged for
the Fair Made Two Flights
VIEWED BY IMMENSE CROWD
V
The Wright Type ' B" Heavier Than
Air Flying Machine was a Drawing
Card for the Fair,--Flights on but
One Day Owing to Delay in Arrival
Machine.--Hundreds of People saw
This Daring Exhibition for the First
Time.
One of the features of the first annual
fair held last week, was the flv
I " "
ing machine. Hundreds of people
woro anxious to see that of which
they had frequently read, and could
hardly believe, that it was possible
to navigate the air with a machine
that is heavier than the element in
which jt llowts.
An aviator by the name of Robert
b\>wler had been first engaged but
he could not lill the contract. The
contract was linanlly made with
James M.Gabriel. Ho arrived hero
on time to begin the flight* as they
advoi tmed, but owing to delay on
railroads, the machine did not come
hera until Wednesday alternoon, too
Ute to go up that day. With Gabriel
came Charley Branhan the
mechanician, and Eugene Helh, the
skilled aviator of Birmingham, Mich.
He made t/ o lights on Thursday,
one in the morning aud oue in the
evening, according to the program
for that day. On each occasion the
bird-man rtsw olT out of sight, came
back aud circled over the town, then
olT again and back to his lauding
place at the court house grounds.
The machine used was a Wright
Ti??Ti * > ?: *u?
ij . |; utui>, otjiti XJ , liUU
operator and one pas tender if wanted.
The machine co?t $3000,00, and
was licensed for private use ouly, except
upon payment of a royally tj
the inventors when exhibited to the
public, as it was here. To engage
in the business one has not only to
purchase and pay for the machiue.
If he exhibits it to kho public the
makers gel a portion of the proceeds
It has to be carried over
the railroads in a special car of suflident
length to allow the Jmach ne
to be put into the a ar it .he end,
ai the large planes canno: be torn
down without risk of ruining its
adjustment.

THE TORPEDO BOATS
Spent Thursday and Friday Here During
the Fair.
C>nway had her first view of war
vossels the middle of last week when
the two torpedo boats, the Tingey,
in charge of Lieut, lieywr.rd, and
the Thornton, in charge of Ensign
Lamont, came up the Waccamaw
Uiver and docked at the wharves of
the Waccamaw Line of Steamers.
These boats were the center of a
great deal of interest all of the time
thai they remained. One of tho
boats got hero late on Wednesday,
the other arriyod by Thursday morning.
Tho presence of tho boats here
was due to the efforts of Hon. J. W.
ft\w?d ale who unrlnrfcnnlr t. > h??ln I
furnish amusoment and information
at the first annual fair,of the Horry'
County Fair Association. Through!
the courtesy of Secretary Josephus
Daniels, the boats wore turned over
to him for the purpose of exhibition
at the fair, and he accompanied the
boats here from Georgetown and remained
with them until they left to
return to Charleston on last Saturday,
This was the first time in the history
of Conway and Horry County
thai we were visited by war craft.
Great pains were taken to explain
tho working of the guns, especially
the torpedos, to everybody who visited
the boats. The inside workings
aud the outside efl'ects of the giant
torpedos appearing on the decks,
were told over and over and ovor
again. Many were surprised to
learn that one of these torpedos cost
the government $7000.00.
Several parties arrived in Conway
during tho week from Georgetown
aud spent some time enjoying the
sights at the fair. On Thursday
night the ladies of the civic league
of Conway wore invited to go oyer
the boats. Quite a number of the
members of ine league accepted the
invitation and the occasion was a
very pleasant one.
Each of these boats is of 200 tons
displacement, and they measure in
length 175 feet, and in width 17.0
I feet, and draw five feet of water.
Each has a speed of 25 knots, equal
to about 27 1-2 miles, Tney are
driven by twin scrosvs aud have
three thousand horse power. Each
of the boats carries two oflicers and
thirty men. Several times the powerful
search lights were turned on
and tho working of them explained.
The oflicers and men were found tj
D? very pleasant people by those
who mot them. The sailors took iu
me rair ana thoroughly enjoyed it.
