TRACK EXTENSION ALMOST COMPLETED % Making Great Convenience For Several Business Concerns in Conway MAY LATER HELP IN MOVING TRACKS I New Side Track Extension % If Passes Through Unexpected Rock Beds. . The Atlantic Coast Line has this * week almost completed the extension of its side tracks northward from the f ^warehouse of the Waccamaw Line of ^ Steamers to the lake front property of the Burroughs & Collins Co. This L work was started a short time ago after Permission had been granted by the tc a ii authorities for crossing the foot df 3rd Avenue, near the bridge across Kingston Lake, and the necessary rights of way had been obtained from the Burroughs & Collins Company. The track is well laid using the heavy railroad iron employed on the main lines. When the grading had reached a point about midway between plants of the Quattlebaum Light & Ice Co., and the northern I boundary of the lots of Burroughs & _ Collins Co., the course ran into a bed ;. of rock which proved to be about eighteen inches ir. thickness and extending lineally for about one hundred feet. This rock was removed mostly in large pieces. After the track has been finished & the lake front will be cleaned up and grade rounded off so as to make a nice landscape on the side toward the , town. On the side toward the lake earth will be leveled off and a walkway provided for on top of the bank. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE EIGHT) 1 GIRLS POULTRY CLUB DIVISION NO. 11. ^M. W Wall, Superintendent.

UNCEASING MISERY f Some Conway Kidney Sufferers Get H Little Rest or Comfort. E There is little sleep, little rest, little neace for manv a sufferer frnm inVi_ Inev trouble. Life is one continual j round of pain. You can"t rest at night when there's kidney backache. You suffer twinges and "stabs" of pain, annoying urinary disorders, lameness dfctl nervousness. You can't be comfortable at work with darting pains and blinding dizzy spells. Neglect these ailments and serious troubles may follow. Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills at the first sign of disorder. Thousands have testified to their merit. Proof in Conway testimony: Mrs. R. W. Lane, Main St., Conway, sa^r "Mv kidneys were out of order. I had pains in my back and was sore and lame at times. I had nervous headaches and dizzy spells. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of all signs of Vidnev trouble." Price 50c, at all dealers.

To the Voters of Horry: Finding that certain interests have been circulating in the county false ! reports regarding the Prohibition election September 14th, I would* like to state the facts in the matter. Any one qualified to vote in any general election can vote in this election. The registration recently held was for thd purpose of registering those who had never registered before, not to register those already holding, certificates. However this election goes it does not change the present gallon-amonth law. 1 wish it did, but it don't. Personally I feel that we should have more restrictions on this subject, but we will have to make a separate fight for this before the Legislature. If this election goes wet or dry it does not change the legal status of affairs in Horry. In other words, if the State votes wet, only those counties now having the dispensary will retain them, the dry counties will remain dry. Horry having already voted out the dispensary, the election can not in any way put it back on us. We vote to say whether or not prohibition J shall be state wide. This election will decide whether or not wet counties like Georgetown and Florence shall remain a menace to, and financial drain on their dry neighbors like Horry. We vote to remove the few re maining cancers still on the face of South Carolina. One other thing. The National1 Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association, with headquarters in Chicago, is flooding South Carolin with liquor litera| ture. This literature is two volumn1 inous to reply to except to say that ,| the facts and figures that they .quote are in the main false and without foundation. One illustration will be sufficient. At the present time seventy-five per cent of the territory of 1 the United States is dry territory. The wet and dry map shown in their handbook shows only a small per cent of this amount. They put South Carolina down as though it were a state wide saloon state while as a matter of fact, as you know yourself there are only something like six dispensary counties in the whole State. In other words the book bears the lte on the very first page, and is therefore not trustworthy The same liquor interests through their aerents in Columbia, nndpr flip guise of "The Local Option League of South Carolina'' are spending thousands of dollars in news paper advertising. .Those of us who have the intrest, of our fellow man at heart have no such finances back of us with which to answer these advertisements. We simply ask that you consider the source from which they come and I make the proper allowance for their deception. Some men may debauch themselves through strong drink and sell their soul to the devil, BUT NOT BY MY VOTE. Jehovah expects every man to do his duty September 14th.

I see circular after circular and , laper after paper howling the slogan ' 'Vote dry on the 14th," but not a word do I see for "Good old King John" whose throat is at stake. It reminds me of the storv of the man and i the lion, when they were passing a statute representing a lion slain by a man, and the man says "look what a ' power we men are." The lion said, "who made the statute, a man or a lion?" "If a lion had have made it, it would tell a different tale." "There are two sides to every question." "Good old King John," has been Il^Vn 1 1 1 1 " 1 ' ' IIV1 t IVI ^T IU'UUIVMIS, ilim UIO |)I?i II JUST I ahead will show how he will remain in some form, and now we have men styled as "prohibition campaigners''} and legislators at a eost of several! thousand dollars to the State goingover the land shouting from buggies, automobiles, and pulpits, "Vote Dry," and make such unbecoming remarks as "1 hope you drop dead at the ballot box if you don't Yot Dry." Yea, the merchants have "Dry" Goods, the drug stores have "remedies" but the poor man will have no where to get his "dope." Our Most High Campaigners might advise that he would be better off without his "dope," but "Good old King John," will come, and be here in i our midst, let him come as he will or may, we may miss his face to some extent but not his works. He will come branded as "Dry Goods," with a serial under guarantee of "Pure Food and Drugs Act" and this act reteronce should he dated Sept. 14th, 1915, but no matter what the date is, "Old King John" will bo on the job. * i~ The ancient Germans are reported as having used saw dust to make drink, and who can put away "King John" when a man can take a hand saw, and stay under influence of strong drink a whole week or more, and is out nothing but a fence rail or an old time wheel bench? T am no advocate for whiskey or its use, neither am I for that prohibition in the way it will work. I do not say vote to keep "Old King: John" on the throne, because I know he is a detriment, but mark well 1 do not shout and howl "Vote Dry" for if I did 1 would say also, "and give the lawyers, judges, and druggists more work and best of all, more money, for through the increased "Klind Tigers," we1 might shout, "The Queen is dead but j long live the King." 1 say if you vote, use your own good judgment and vote as you think best, and consider the unnecessary loss of thousands of dollars! to the State to bring on and carry out j an election, between election times, as well as the simple slogan "Vote Dry." Do not look for me at the Pox that day as I can't vote for whiskey, but.j would vote prohibition, if I had com-j mon sense to be convinced that "Prohibition would entirely prohibit." 1 am too busy to speak further, thank VOU Jill fnv \rr?ir offt ...Mi ?: < .. - J V?1 hi iviiiu'lli I Will give the parting hand to good "Old King John" and prepare to meet that fair lady "Miss Dry." .
