On last Thursday preparations were being made at two or three different places for the erection of new brick buildings, which will add to the wealth, the size and the business of Conway. One of the places was the old Mollie Johnson lot, whero for a long number of years, the old negro servant lived. It was being cleaned off for the new People's Tobacco Warehouse. Another place was the vacant lot of Burroughs & Collins Co., next door to everybody'e store. Here will go up two stores, one of them to be occupied by May 1st, by the Horry Drutf Co., of which Dr. Andersen will be the manager. The third place at which preparations started was the store of the Nortdfe Drug Co., on Main Street. Here the present wooden building will be torn down and a handsome j one q! brink and plate glass will take ! ill place. Altogether we are proud of tne great start that has been, made to add to this growing town during the year 1914 Besides those above mentioned there are several others contemplating the erection of new business structures in the town| before the present year has seen its close. You may watch Oouway! Mark our prediction, which was that in the oourse of the next' few years she will be among the larger towns of the eastern Caroliua9.

Burgan and other officials of the Eddy Lake Cypress Co., were served with an injunction some days ago prohibiting a contemplated sale to Conway Lumber Co., of certain timber and rights held by the Eddy Lake Cypress Co., in which company Mr J. W, Little is the owner of "took. It was ajt the suit oi Mr. Llltti that the injunction was issued. The facts seem to be that after a tentative sale had been made to Conway Lumber Co., of this prop erty, the estimators of this latter company made the amount of timber very much less than the estimates of Mr. Little when the timber was first Surchased by -he Eddy Lake Cyprese o. A plan had been made to make this apparent shortage good, but Mr Little, as a stock-holder believes the old estimate was correct, especially allowing for the growth of the timber since the date of the original deeds, hence the injunction suit, IT 11 ii if wwi CONWAY, S. C., THURSD IIII11 Under Charges of Being Drunk and Disorderly MEAN WHISKEY SAID To be Cause of the Several Fusses Tht it Took Place Last Week at The Cow way Lunch Room, During Absence of the Proprietor on Business Trip. On last Wednesday, Claude Mills, a white man, who was employed as cook at the Conway Lunch Room, was tried in the Mayor's court on charges of drunk aud disorderly couduct and was liued in the sum of $20.00. He had been arrested by the town authorities at the * restaurant where he worked on the even ing before, and had beeD kept in tho town look-up overnight awaiting trial and in order to get over the freu/.y under which he seemed to be laboring at the time ho was arrested. The matter was the cau9e of considerable exoitment for a while on lower Main Street on Tuesday evening just befor he was arrested. The proprietor of the restaurant, Mr. V. B Summerlin, left Conway the day before to yiBit his former home in North Carolina on business. He left Mills in ob&rgo it appears. The man seemed to be under the influence of Whiskey and during Monday and Tufesday was disposed to raise trouble with several people. Finally it iR said he struck bis slater who was also at the iuoeh room, and the authorities then took him in charge. I On Tuesday night |be proprietor | returned and it took him some time to straighten out affairs. The afj fair wa9 unfortunate for the proprietor of this popular place. Be ! recently purchased the business from i Buckley Bros. The business was doing very well at that time and it has been steadily growing under the new management. The new owner is very obliging and careful of the needs of his guests.

He is a married man and is said to have one child. He is expert and very handy with cooking utensils and is said to have had a long experience at thai kind of employment After his arrest and confinement in the town lock-up, the fuss that ho kept up at the door attracted a large crowd of men and boys to the town hall, and they filled the passage leading through the building for several hours. The defendant while looking through the bars made dire threats against the officials of the town and all people connected with them. He was in this frenzy for several hours. Often he would take hold of the iron door and with a strength which seemed to be immense for a man of his s 23, would make it rattle on the binges, until it showed signs of giving away. The policemeu made haste tostrengthen the door with another lock.
