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.

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- ?_

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

Listen at the Governor's Long Speech
in Columbia Last Thursday,?Gov.
Blease Applauded and Hissed,?The
Other Candidates Were Heckled.
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.

! A man who had done more perhaps
; for the allcvation of human suffering
j than any man of his age that has ev:
cr lived in South Carolina; a man
I who stood, as a surgeon and physi|
cian, the equal of any, and a man of
1 the highest moral character. 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

of the State penitentiary, and of J)r.
R. T. Jennings, surgeon of the same,
we have this day visited and examin;
ed Mr. R. A. Richey, now conlined
! in the hospital of the Penitentiary.
! We would report that we find Mr.
Richey suffering; from a marked neurosis,
that the same closely simulates
a true paralysis. 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

"James H. Mcintosh,

United States Senator E. D. Smith
was given an ovation which lasted
several minutes and received good
attention during Ids speech.
L. I). Jennings and W. P. 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

Loris, S. C., July 27.?The prices at

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
