I r ; t. v 1 ?' voiTlcviv TOBACCO MARKET ~ " HAS GREAT OPENING i THE WEED BRINGING BEST PRICES EVER REALIZED FOR -V- LUGS SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND V OPENING DAT GALES > A11 Sold at the Average Price of Near \j Eleven Cents Per Pound,?Expressions of Satisfaction Heard on Every Hand From the Farmers. The Conway tobacco market had a great day on Wednesday of last week at the opening sales of the tobacco season, and ever since, it may be said #iat this market has had for its beginnng, for the season of 1914, some of the very best sales ever made for tobacco planters in this section of the State. On the opening day last Wednesday a total of 45,000 pounds of the leaf changed hands on the floors of toe tfiSjee warehouses of the C-mwny market. The highest price realised for any of it on the floors of the three warehouses was 22 1-2 cents per pound. There was a pile or two of sandy half green and half bl.ie'c remnants cured from the first loaves of somebody's crop, almost burned to a c^Ppp in the fields, and even this brought a high price considering its very noor uualitv. Thn nvm-tiM ? - ^ V. fi i received by the farmers for the 45,- 1 000 pounds was $10.66 per hundred pounds. The quantity sold last week i at The Farmers, The Horry, and The Pfltoples Warehouses, exceeded what hao been expected by far. For some j time past the farmers had been bring- i ing it in, and on the opening day numbers came in who had not been ex pected. The farmers were highly pleased w^jh the prices they received for the tobacco and many expressed them- I j-selves as more than satisfied. The ; I opening sales were attended by many tt^f the business men and otheis inter- j E^'stcd in the market. Everything leads to the belief that 1 I the Conway market will lead tins secI tiojkof the State this year in the quan I .... .. ... uij soki and tnc average r prices received for it by t.h*? farmers. The j managers of the tiv.v.e warehouses are all pleasant gentlemen, each work i ing for the success of the Conway market. They are courteous and | soup re in their dealings and are inakinfjrfricnds with the farmers, not only in this immediate section hut in remote sections of the county where until of iate years all of the tobacco raised went to markets outside o " the county. The market, however, in order to 1 i-vpfiph the climax of great siccess,1 ncotf the cooperation andVncouragomenx of each and every business man of the place. This mucn is expected ( | of all and they should not fail in this ; <luty. What will help one man is apt1 to be of benefit to every other man in the community. A Delightful Evening.

J. Cox's Store Spilling Occupants,?Doctor Called From Loris. At Hammond last Wednesday there was an accident which came near to ? being fatal to two men, both brothers ? of Mr. Fred Todd of the Nisscn?Todd j Co. The two men were Messrs. Roll \ Todd and Andrew Todd of the Loris \ section. They were driving an unruly f horse along the hard road near the store of T. J. Cox. The horse ran ] away and as the buggy turned the | j corner at the Cox stoi c, the vehicle j ( was wrenched round so violently that ; the two men sitting in the buggy,: { were thrown bodily from the seats j ( and struck against the hard ground J \ and other obstacles. Roll Todd had i his face badly cut and he was other- \ wise painfully injured, though not j considered serious. Andrew Todd's v injuries were serious indeed, for ho t was bleeding from the nose and cars, ( and it was believed at last accounts < that his skull had been fractured by , j the fall. He was taken U? the homo ! of Mr. T. J. Cox, and Dr. Hugcr Rich- j ardson of Loris was called to attend \ him. The wounded man lay in an un- ?_ conscious state all day last Thursday.

HERE IS A GOOD REASON 1 Why You should Bring to This Oflice N Each and Eserv Article of Printing. | , There is another inducement we 1 have to offer every business man, and j( even the farmers and others who use j * stationery in any way whatever, to 2 get them to patronize the Herald of- j 1 lice when they want letter or note ! c heads, bill-heads, monthly statements,! 1 visiting cards, business cards, circu- 1 lar letters, hand bills, or a thousand ( and one other things too numerous ( to mention. The inducement arises f from these facts: * We are now purchasing blank paper 1 and commercial headings in larger v quantities than over came to Horry County to any print shop and as large 1 quantities as ever went to any ordinary country oflice. and are thereby ( getting these materials at greatly , duced prices; but instead of aiming i to make a larger profit for the busi- J iiKzca u.v purciicising me Bume quamy, ' we have used before and then selling* | * the product at the same old price, we ( have purchased a fine quality of stock , 1 at abopt the same figure we bought, * stock before and will offer the product! ( at the same old price, giving each and ! ! every purchaser the lull benefit of j what we save by buying in large ( quantities. Last week we laid in a 1 supply of 3*2 reams of a nice bond pa 1 per used for many purposes in the ^ printing business, and a much better * paper than the one we used be for. ( A largo quantity of envelopes are on ^ the way, enough to last perhaps a * year, but when once used we will 1 guarantee the user will want more like them for they are much better ^ than what we have been using and on- c ly cost us one cent per thousand more, ' but they will go to our customers at ' the same price we have been charg- f ing for medium quality envelopes J printed in the office. 1 Bring the business our way and you : will certainly have value received for r your money in each and every job ' turned out for you. 1 I . 4 t c Accident at Mill. i Last Saturday at the plant of the t Conway Lumber So., Walter Hem- v ingway, a colored employee, suffered a severe accident.

About three thousand people gathered in the Columbia Theatre last Thursday to hear the candidates for the United States Senate, and they gathered under tense feeling and circumstances on account of the shooting of Dr. Mcintosh, by a supposed Blcaseite on the evening before. Long before the hour for the speaking to begin the theatre was lilled with partisians of all of the candidates, and by 11 o'clock every seat was taken and every available inch of ! standing room. Dr. Mcintosh was not on the stage | but was lying in Knowlton's Infirmary ! where he was taken for treatment afi tor having been shot. The Governor ! said he was sorry that Dr. Mcintosh was not on the stand and went on to i say that "no lllease man did the deed." Refering to the shooting, I "Blease has got no friends who hold men up," he stated. "I will now read you a certificate. One of tho irnnflomn?i ?

He is dead and cannot speak for himself, but here is what he said: "The other signer, Dr. James H. Mcintosh, may not be known to you, but he is known to your physicians; ask them who he is. As a physician and as a man he stands high in his State, and no man would say that Dr. Mcintosh would lie. "Now if men of the character of these who signed these various cerI tifieates in their professional life can be brought to sign false statements, God save their profession in our State I do not believe it and no man can make me believe it." He then read the following statement: "The Knowlton Hospital No. 1,515 Marion Street "Columbia, Jan. 19, 1912. " His Excellency, Governor Cole L : Blease, Columbia, S.

We are informed that Mr. Richey has had some such trouble for the past ten years or more and close confinement is rendering it more marked. We do not believe his condition will be improved so long as Mr. Richey remains a prisoner in the I Penitentiary. We do believe that freedom, outdoor exercise, etc., would restore him to as good a state of health as he has enjoyed for the past 1 ten years. "Respectfully submitted (signed) "James H. Mcintosh, M.

Pollock arraigned the pardoning record of the Governor in bitter terms and excoriated those responsible for the ! "trial" of Dr. Eleanora lb Saunders before the Asylum regents last December. All through their speeches they had to contend with the jeering cris of disapproval and the heckling* of Uhe Blease followers, but they "worn after" Governor Blease with gloves olf anil received warm applause and cheers from his opponents.

C., July 27.?The prices at the opening sale on the Loris tobacco market were very good considering I the low grade of tobacco on hand. At the opening sale the weed brought from 3 to 25 cents per pound. All those who attended the sale seemed to be pleased with the prices. Politics are getting interesting, some in favor of one and some in favor of another "candidate" and impossible to draw the 1 ino as to who will he in the lead. The ice cream supper which was given by the young people at the I school house last Fridav nio-ht wn? ?? I * ? injoyable occasion. There was about one hundred present and quite a number of visitors from other towns came over. Of course it's impossible for ihe young men who were most sueecssful in chatting their "best girls" I to express their high appreciation of the occasion. Several gentlemen had to entertain each other. Some other fellows are ahead, however, we are glad to note that they in joyed the "cream and cake" just the same. The base ball game played by the Loris and Bayboro teams last Saturday evening was quite interesting and well attended. The Loris team is anxious to play a game with the Conway boys. Tobacco on the Loris market brought high prices at every sale during last week. v*e are g?ad to note that the bond election for good roads in Floyds township was successfully carried. Floyds township is one of the most successful townships in our County. We are most heartily in favor of good roads, good churches and better schools for the country districts. Several from Loris attended the picnic at Little River last Saturday. All seemed to injoy the trip. The young folks of Loris will give a picnic some time in August. Mr. W. K. Suggs of the Pleasant Meadow vicinity, arrived in town last Friday on his way home to spend a few days with his parents. Mr. Suggs holds a very important position with the Milcs-Bixley Co., of Cleveland, O. Call again Mr. Suggs, we are always glad to have you visit our town. Misses Lola and Kittie Graham, of 1 Florida, have been spending several j days with their brother, Mr. W. D. 1 Graham. Messrs. Jesse Roberts and Clay Hughes of Tabor, N.

The barber shops of our twn have been busy for the past two weeks. Mrs R A Vickers is spending a few weeks at Madison, Ga., with Mr. I Vicker's father, Dr. A. W. Vickers. Dave Sherr has just returned from New York and Baltimore, where he went to purchase goods. Mr. Warren Johnson of Tabor, N.

Mcintosh appearing in The Record of July 1G: "It is true that I was appointed on a committee by the Governor to ex| a nine R. A. Riehey. It is also true that with the late Dr. A. B.

But it is not t ae that this report of the said comn .ttee signed by Dr. Knowlton and n /self in any way recommended a e vdon or parole of the said R. A.
