j VOL XXIX iHjBi THE LATEST THING IN TYPESETTING MACHINES BEING INSTALLED. L AT THE HERALD OFFICE Short Mention of What the Marine is and What It Will I)o and lias Done?Great Improvement Over Hand Methods. There is being erected in the Hcraid office and placed in operation this week one two-letter Intertype, Model A, No. 311. It is about the same in the main as the linotype machine, which is made by another company, and who for many years virtually controlled the typesetting machine business by reason of patents that were taken out many years ago. The Intertype machine is made by a new ^ company and it is a distinct improveV merit over the linotype. It has more than one hundred improvements or f-*v1 u?or- not possessed by other machii^s .vf iia kind, all going to make it t'ac speediest, most reliable ar.d wonderful machine ever invented in the printing trades. It does the work of from five to eight men working by the eld method of hand composition. It casts the type for the pa* pe* in lines or slugs, as they are calicd, performing nearly every operation automatically, with few ex ecotions beyond the work of assembling the matrices, this last, however being accomplished by means of a keyboard almost like arty ordinary typewriter. Its performance, to the uninitiated, is much like the action ' ? of a skilled man acting with his brain and making his hands carry out its demands. GjsERf' f The Inter type. This new machine is not yet in full operation on the paper. A portion of the type for this week's issue was sot on the machine; we expect to use more and more as experience with it increases, and we shall employ it to the best of our ability in making the f Herald larger, better and brighter ** than it has ever been. Like all new machines, it cannot be placed in an ofi.ce and put into full use at oncc. An experienced man has been employed to teach our printers how to use and care for this intricate machine. As time passes we hope to shpw the many readers of the paper many advantages arising from having this machine in the ofiice. m The object of this paper is always, to be found on the side of progress and improvement in the community. To that end we need the help of every subscriber, and every patron of its advertising columns. Why should we not improve our methods? Anybody is welcome to call and see the machine in operation. Elsewhere tA, is a cut which will at least give an accurate idea of how the machine looks; but no amount of pictures are sufficient to show the wonders of its operation. Machines like this have been in use? on daily papers in the cities for many years. But it is unusual that you find one of the latest and most approved type in a country printing A m OIT,ce> an(t ?-nis 18 inc reason ior Having this much to say about it. And when you realize that it is brand new, right from the factory, the wonder increases. Too many printing offices in the past have been compelled to buy second-handed machinery, all the way from the type up to the press itself. \ Call and see the machine. It is the v ^ last word in the printing industry. Spring Fever. This is the season of the year when everything lags behind all the way from the Dusy bee up to the working man or woman. Early to bed and late to rise is the rule. Slow are the footsteps of those who pass along the street. To exert themselves ?, seems a punishment. Spring fever is upon them and they are suffering as ail the rest of nature is. The milk man comes late in the m vning. The postman arrives late with the mail. The trains are not making schedule. All the dogs are t 0 too lazy to bark. Even Mr. Appetite lazily sleeps away his time and everybody wants something to eat that they haven't got. ' There is a lassitude and a hanging back that was not in evidence six months ago. The cause of it all is the spring. * Help the big three, YOURSELF CONWAY AND THE CONTONIAN i's* by going to the school house Friday night.?Adv. 4 t lit ! 4 THE COUNTY CONVENTION. !

It knocks out the postoffices of Willow, Haskell, Dongola, and some portions of Wolsie, Toddville and other places, reducing the amount of mail that will hereafter be delivered at these places. The first route established several years ago runs to the northward from Conway. This last one goes out about west, southwest from Conway. I "The Joys of Country Life" at 1 school house Friday night.?Adv. P 0M1 -CD tm CONWAY, S. C., THUBS TEST BY MEANS OF THE POWERFUL, PUMP RECENTLY MENTIONED AS BEING IN USE. MUCH DAMAGE DONE And the Steamer Will Have to Be Taken at Once to the Ways for Extensive Repairs to the Hull as Well as the Upper Works?The Power Plants Saluted Last Saturday Night When the Work Had Been Accomplished. The efforts of the Waccamaw Line of Steamers to raise the Steamer "Mitchell C." were continued at intervals during last week, and on last Saturday evening beginning in the early afternoon and continuing until far into the night, the work of pumping the water from her hold went steadily on, so that by 11 o'clock the craft was completely raised from the water. Those who did not know the object of the demonstration, were startled at that hour by the blowing of whistles and the ringing of bells near the water front. When the word went out that the work had been accomplished, all of the steam whis?. 1 ' . ii. i j i .1 i i nea in me piacc iook up me racKCt I and saluted. I The main work of pumping the water from the hold of the boat thus lightening her so that she would rise was accomplished by means of a large centrifugal pump brought from j Georgetown recently for that purpose There was much of the water in the bottom that the large pump could not take out. On Saturday evening the services of the lire department were obtained to finish it up. The fire engine was taken down to the wharf and the hose lowered into the hold of the steamer. A few hours completed the work and the boat was completely out of danger and fully alloat. At one time during the operations last week the hull got caught up on the edge of the wharf and this threatened to turn the boat over. Portions of the wharf had to be cut away and moved before this difficulty could be met. The damages sustained by the steamer are considerable and she will be taken to the ship yards at Glass Hill and drawn up 011 the ways for necessary repairs. Child Was Injured. The young child of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor accidentally fell out of a window at their residence last Monday morning causing an injury in the side. A physician was hastily called, and the injuries tn the nVlilfl ?F/n.o ?w\4 ? ? V??v> Vtuivi HW1 V? 11V 1/ found to be dangerous, though somewhat painful. Representee the Royal Taylors.

The presents received by the happy young: people were many and costly, including an oak center table and other > articles of great value from Mrs. J. 1\ Williams, who was here at 1he time in her private car. The bridal party entered the room, which was tastefully decorated, to the inspiring strains of the wedding ' march. Miss Lovell with Mr. George Martin, entered first, followed by Miss Minnie McKee, with Mr. John Daniels, and Mrs. Belle Clarke, a sister of the bride, the Maid of Honor, then Miss Bculah Clark, the flow- ' (r girl. Prom another door entered the groom with Mr. Traeey Green, a brother of the bride and Best Man, (> and I he groom met the bride at the altar. Tie bride entered with her father, Mr. S. O. C con. The brides' ( maids were gowned in snowy white onibroidercd voile, trimmed with .vhite satin. The maid of honor was * beautifully attired in light blue brocaded satin with shadow lace. The I little flower girl was dressed in white t China silk with shadow lace. The bride wore white silk crepe de chine. , ine groom wore the regulation black j ; broad cloth, and the host man was | attired in black serge. The mother of Mrs. Williams rear- 1 .ed Isaac Cribb from a small boy, hence the interest taken by her in the marriage of Dick, who is the eld- 1 ;ost son of Mr. Isaac Cribb. The bride is a charming 'Mul accomplished young lady and has many 1 friends among Conway's young people. After the ceremony refreshments of various kinds were served. The table was beautifully decorated for the dainties with which it was loaded. The out of town guests were: Mrs. 1 J. P. Williams, president of the Georgia & Florida Railroad Company, and her party the* Misses Hattie and Edith Taylor, her sisters, Mrs. J. S. ( Williams of Baltimore; Mr. McTyre and Jessie Outland. Last Tuesday Was Windy. Last Tuesday was the windiest day that this town has seen during the whole year, the windiest days of March not excepted. The great need of a street sprinkler for the main ( .streets of the business portion of Conway was proved beyond a doubt. For several (lays before the wind on Tuesday, the weather had boon * very dry. The Main street sand had A turned into line light dust owing to the great amount of traffic passing over it. The wind on Tuesday took this up in enormous clouds and car- * "i'd it into 1 ho remotest recesses of the shops and business offices, gathering in a fmc powder on the furni- , turc and the goods in stock. In the J afternoon tlie lire boys took out the lire engine and carried the hose up and down the street, going far to remedy the trouble; but much dam- ^ age had been done to <1( lie a to goods and fine furniture, men and women \ were almost blind from the dust in 1 their eyes, and even the mules and horses wanted to balk. It is a serious situation when a town is so low in < .finances that it cannot afford a street ^ sprinkler for its citizens. It is well enough to do it with the fire engine, when there is nothing else to use, but when the expense of the gasoline that 1 it takes to run the fire engine is considered, it would appear to be very poor economy. With a sprinkler ^ made for the purpose, the services k of one man with a team for a little while each morning and evening . would do the trick. - ^ A Tll??SU"lnv Miifri-Kf.i *'**%? * X On last Tuesday evening Miss Emma Sweet, one of the pretty and charming young daughters of Mr. and . Mrs. Newton Sweet, quietly repaired 1 to the Methodist parsonage, with Mr. T. Arthur Rhuark, and the two were joined in the bonds of matrimony by 0 tlie Rev. A. D. Betts, the pastor of i1 Conway Methodist- church. These 11 arc two very popular young people. The groom holds a responsible and . lucrative position with the Spivey 11 Mercantile Co. They have many ? friends who will join in wishing them M a long and happy wedded life. 1 Marriages at the Court House. Two weddings took place last Tuesj day in the office of Hon. W. L. Bryan, the Clerk of Court, as follows: Miss Julia Parker to Mr. B. Haskell Todd. The bride is the charming daughter of Mr. B.
