try exhibits are wonderful both from
the standpoint of variety and size
and looks. To know what the second
annual fair is like, will require that
you visit it before it is over. To give
the name of each exhibitor and the
kind and class of the things exhibited
would fill this paper from cover to
cover, almost. It is only possible to
give you some idea of what it is in
this general way.
Just as we did last year we shall
endeavor to publish in our issue of
next week the names of all those who
win prizes.
The main entrance to the fair is
about the middle of 4th Avenue near
the rear end of the Horry Tobacco
Warehouse. As you enter the farmers
warehouse containing the exhibits
is on the left while in front and beyond
the building in the open space
prepared for that purpose are the
carnival shows. The open street ex4

Little River, S. C., Oct. 11.?Announcement
was made two weeks ago
that Stone Bros., Company would
build a cotton storage warehouse to
hold at least one thousand bales.
They have commenced the erection of
the building and will have it ready
within the next thirty days, possibly
sooner.
They are also buying and paying
ten cents per pound for lint cotton,
this is to their customers, who should i
feel grateful to them in paying ten
cents. The paying of ten cents for
cotton by Stone Bros., places Little

Club. These people deserve much
credit for this and their customers
should pay them promptly. Ten cents
is a fair average for lint cotton.
The Warehouse is for the benefit of
the public. Of course they will have
to pay for storage and insurance
should any one wish to use it.
The Little River Graded School
opened its fall term on Monday, Sept.
14th. We noticed quite a lot of new
pupils and think this will be one of its
banner years. Miss Essie Cox, of Vox
S. C., is the principal, with Miss Dessie
Gilmore, of Holly Hill, S. C., as
assistant teacher. Miss Gilmore has
a class of Music pupils. This is a
new department and we are glad to
see it. We think the Trustees made
a wise selection in getting Misses Cox
and Gilmore.
The Ocean Fisheries have caught
but few fish this season. The up coun
try wagons who make this annual pilgrimage
to the beach for fish are
much disappointed and are returning
without them.
The Bank of Little River seems to
be in a flourishing condition, yet we
don't think it assists the farmers as it
should. We notice that the Banks of
other towns are always ready to meet
the farmers, or any one else who can
put up the proper collateral, and at
times do more than their part to aid
a worthy customer. No one can wish
this Bank any more success than the
writer. I only state this that the of
nciais may tninK over tne matter ana
ponder wisely.
The Little River Canning Co., I
have learned, will start up November
1st. This Company puts up one of
the finest grades of oysters the writer
has ever eaten. It has orders ahead
to keep it running the entire sason,
which extends to April 15th, 1915.
We see no cause why the cotton
acreage cannot be cut fifty per cent.
This, I think, will give the desired effect,
or let the Legislature enact law
or laws to allow only eight acres to
the mule or horse, as the case may
be. Then penalize all over that acreage.
I think this would be sufficient.
Brother farmer, you had better look
out for another year, plant grain crop
of all kinds, potatoes, peanuts, avoid
too much tobacco, it will be low another
season. Remember over production
is to be avoided in thi& as well as
cotton. I have seen the very best tobacco
sell for less than ten cents, and
that in the best belt of North Carolina,,
the bright leaf tobacco section.
We don't want too much legislation
and talk, what we need is assistance
of a positive nature ahd that at
once. "Old Isaac."

FLORENCE SENDS BANKER c
J. W. McCrown Preparing to Take o
Trip to Seek Aid in Cotton Crisis, f
Florence, Oct. 4.?Senator J. W.
McCown, who is also president of the
FiVst National Bank here, is preparing
to take a trip to Washington to
see if it is not possible to arrange for
some aid to be given to the banks and "
through them to the farmers in this \
section. The emergency currency is (
of very little aid to the farmers in this a
community. There are few national
banks in this part of the State and n
t
still fewer that have a surplus. Senator
McCown estimates that $150,000
is the extent of the possible of cur- c
rency in this territory. The First c
National bank can get $75,000 of this, n
and has already gotten and put in 1
circulation about $.'15,000 of that 0
amount and is now impatiently wait- a
ing on the printing of the additional 11
notes that is due to it. Marion and ^
t'
Bennettsville can get a little of this .
money, but not much. Most of these ^
banks, and practically all of the State
banks, nave lent to the very utmost
of their credit and are under strain.
They could not borrow any more if
money were to be had, as the law now ^
stands, and the people arc still begging
for loans to carry on their business
and save their cotton crop. The n
emergency currency can not help

Invitations were issued in the city
last week to the wedding of Miss Lunette
Burbage to Dr. L. Roy C&tea*
which event will be solemnized at the
Conway Baptist church on next Monday
afternoon, October 19th, 1914.
This coming social event will be one
of unusual interest owing to the prom
inence of the contracting parties and
the high esteem in which they are
held in this ami surrounding mm
0 ? ?
munities. It is expected that the
large new Baptist church where the
ceremony will be performed will be
crowded to its full capacity for the
occasion.
The bride-to-be is the charming
young daughter of Mr. and Mrs .Joseph
Ambrose Burbage. For the past
several years she has held the responsible
position of expert stenographer
and typist, and confidential secretary
in the real estate and mercantile offices
of the Burroughs & Collins Company.
She displayed efficiency and attention
to details of her department
in a large and varied business, and
held the highest esteem of both her
employers and fellow workers. She
was identified with church and Sunday
School. The hosts of friends
gained by her sweet and lovable disposition
will join in wishing her a
long and happy wedded life.
Dr. L. Roy Cates, at the present
time, holds a position with the Conway
Drug Company, one of the oldest
institutions of its kind in the county.
He has been with this company
as pharmacist for several years. Always
at his post of duty, always attentive
and accomodating to the every
want of his customers, he haa
made friends and made them rapidly
ever since he first came to Conway^

ITEMS FROM SWEET HOME.
On October 9th there was an entertainment
and box supper given at
Sweet Home school house for the benefit
of the school. The entertainment
consisted of only a short program:
Opening Song?"America."
Play?"Cindarilla."
"Mrs. Piper was a Widow."
Play?"A Matrimonial Advertisement."
These exercises were carried out
nicely and everyone seemed to enjoy
them very much.
After this the boxes and cakes were
sold to the highest bidders. There was
a cake contest, the contestants being
Miss Beulah Banister and Miss Fancy
Lee. This cake brought .$15.44, Miss
Banister being the lucky one.
We thank the young ladies for the
pretty cakes and nice boxes which
they gave us, also the gentlemen for
the liberality of their high bids. There
was an ordinarily large crowd but
there was plenty of money in circulation
not withstanding war times.
During the exercises the actors had
the undivided attention of the hearers,
not only then but the whole time
The conduct was excellent.
The total amount raised was $46.10
The school is progressing nicely under
the management of Mr. Walter
