"HOI
CONWAY IS BEADY,
IS RECEIVING LEAF.
SEVERAL LOADS OF CURED TOBACCO
BROUGHT IN LAST
TUESDAY AND STORED.
The warehouses of the Conway mar
kot are all ready for the rush of the
tobacco season, and already the cured
leaf is coming in. The first lo be
brought to Conway this season consisted
of several loads stored at the
Horry Tobacco Warehouse last Tuesday,
and a load received at the Farmore'
Wovr>liftiion
Conway will surely sell her full portion
of the leaf tobacco raised in this
county this year.
The new People's Tobacco Warehouse
has been finished and is ready
for business.
The crop promises to be large and |
of good quality in spite of bad luck of i
last Spring in regard to plants.
TRAIN KILLS HOUSE.
At Least He Was so Much Injured
That Animal Had to be Killed.
Just as the passenger train was
pulling into town from Myrtle Beach
last Sunday evening and was moving
rapidly around the curve at the foot
of Main Street, a horse belonging to
W. O. Singleton ran out across the
street and was struck and knocked
down by the train. The horse could
not stand after receiving the injury
and was later killed and carried off.
The horse was blind in one eye.
DON'T FORGET THE DATE
The Candidates for United States Sen
ate on August 14.
The most interesting* campaign
fight now going on in this State is
that for the United States Senate, the
candidates for this office being Governor
Cole Ij. Hlease, W. P. Pollock of
Cheraw, and Mayor L. D. Jennings of
Sumter, S. C. They will speak at
Conway on August 14th. Do not forget
this date and attend the meeting.
Must Have Good Land.
"The farmer's biggest problem,"
said Prof. W. L. Hutchinson, of Clemson
College recently, "is how to have
good land. If he already has good
land his biggest problem is how to
keep it good." One of the best ways
of getting and keeping good land is
to grow leguminous crops. It is time
now for South Carolina farmers to
think about what winter cover crops
they are going to plant. Grow legumes
and cut the nitro'gen bill.
John Holt for Treasurer.
In our last issue there appeared the
card of Mr. John Holt, announcing his,
candidacy for reelection to the office
of County Treasurer of Horry County.
During* the several years while he has
been filling that important oflice, he
has labored hard to accomodate the
people and give them prompt and efficient
service. He is not only efficient
and courteous as a county officer, but
he is perfectly safe from a business
standpoint having had the experience
necessary to qualify him for the position.
Statement Published Late.
The Herald received the statement
of the Hank of Loris, last week, after
the edition had gone to press, and
hence the statement had to he published
in this issue. The bank intended
that it should be published in last
week's issue the same as the other
bank statements, but owing to delay
in the mail, the statement did not
reach us quite in time.
