The good prices received for the ^ weed on the Conway tobacco market were duplicated on Thursday and Fri- t day, thus showing that the tobacco in dustry will get a boost upward this ^ P year, as the prices are now understood to be very likely to keep up to highwater mark all through the season. A large sum of money has already been turned loose in this sec- ^ tion by the tobacco warehouses. s The small wooden building formerly used as a storage room in the rear of the Norton Drug Company's store ^ has been moved down to the corner of the lot in the rear of the new building so that it faces the alley way running through the block at this point.

There was a meeting of the town council and the business men called j last Monday at the Town Hall for the purpose of considering a proposition made by the Conway Lumber Co., for n furnishing the water necessary for s five protection to the crowded busi- ^ ness section of Conway. The result q of the meeting was that Mayor H. P. ? Little was authorized to obtain prices y and costs and make a report at an- 'v other meeting which will be called to consider the matter further. The prop f osition or the lumber company, as we y understand it, is that they offer to do- j nate the sum of $1,000 and furnish the pump and keep the tank full, if the town will erect the tank of 100,- c 000 gallons capacity in the lower sec- j tion of the town and furnish the pip- tl ing necessary to carry it where they ^ want it. Mayor Little said that he ( was now making a survey of a water N main to reach to the Gully with two ; short branches extending* from this s main line, one along 4th Avenue and the other along 3rd Avenue. j There is a great saving here for the ^ town in furnishing water which is ( needed. It would he easy to turn this ^ proposition into one which would give , the water for other purposes besides | lire protection, and the Mayor and his j associates it is said are now working along this line assisted by the busi- . ness men. SENATOR 1H/CK WANTS MAGISTRATES TO STAY IN PRIMARY In Letter to the County Chairman lie Asks Committee to Reconsider Matter. Hon. J. A. Lewis, Shairman Dem. Ex. Committee, Conway, S. C., My Dear Sir:? T ? .1 -i xi--' - - x uuuer?iuim mat your committee at a recent meeting, decided that the Magistrates should no longer be nominated in the primaries as heretofore, but selected as provided for in article 5, section 20 of the constitution of South Carolina. Namely "Appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." I understand that under the rules of the Democratic party, your committee has a perfect right to do this. I dislike to take issue with anything done by your honorable body, but as Senator from the county and the one whom you are attempting to give added and enlarged authority, I feel that I have a right to be heard. My opinion is, that the Magistrates should contiue to be nominated in the Democratic primary,?this has been the custom not only here, but all over the State, for years?and the custom has become so fixed that today it almost passes as law. 1, therefore, respectfully request 1 that you call your committe together at the earliest date possible for the purpose of reconsidering this matter and I would like an opportunity to appear before your honorable body at that meeting for I believe thitt I can convince you that, the true spirit of Democracy teaches us that the people themselves have a right to select ' their own public servants. Yours very truly, Hal L. Buck. 1 1 i HASKELL ITEMS. j < Tobacco curing is the order of the ' day. Crops are looking fine consid- \ ering the dry weather.

Vhen He Learns of the Death of Dr. Norton,?Sees Great Improvement in The Herald. Greenville, Flu., July 25, 1914. )car Mr. Woodward, Editor The Herald:? On account of pressing business natters, the writer has been detained everal times from writing you and hanking you for the improvement in Tie Herald. It is putting on some style" and I feel proud of the stand ou take in matters of progressiveicss for Horry county and her people. n matters not what subject is beore the people, the Herald usually las OUR side of the subject. As an lorryite we feel for your prosperity ind high standard of living. When we opened our paper today md saw "Doctor Evan Norton No More," our heart was sad, and we feel ! is hundreds of Horryites from home vill feci and can truthfully say, "A jood Man Has Gone." Dr. Norton vas the first physician known to the vritor over 40 years ago, and we can ;ay to Horry's young men, that he is i great example and worthy of emanation, and we trust that his life ami r.Huence will be a model for the generation to follow. Our prayer is that he Great giver of ail good may impress this life he lived on 1 is som hat another DOCTOR NORTON may jc raised to that standard of living. We have noticed through your columns a great many changes in the several communities in the County. We are familiar with the greater part of the northern portion of the County, and from reports wo see, there must be great advancement in the agricultural work, this must hi the next and highest thought in the minds of her citizens, that of making iarm more successful, and bring out the best that can be got from it. We note you have an agricultural school located in the County. "My," what would your people say if this subject had been brought up twenty years ago, there would not have been any success in locating this Institution. I am glad our people are awakening to the necessity of forging to the front. Horry has the possibilities and her people are beginning to realize it. I am keeping my eye on the political campaign in the Senatorial race I and if I should speak in this matter, ' or give my honest opinion to my friends in the lovely old County of Horry, I would advise you to let frleitseism die with his elimination from politics, and get yourselves on a high plane of politics, and stand by your most worthy, Hon. Senator Smith. Wishing you and the Herald the very best of success and trusting to be able to reach Horry when your next County Fair comes off. This, too, is a wonderful step in advancement of your people. This is a wonderful advertisement for your County. Yours very truly, J. T. Prince. HOMEWOOD NEWS.
