EFFICIENT BODY OF MEN IN SERVICE ON BORDERj Will be Blustered Out a; Promptly as Possible. Reception Saturday. Marion.?C n.pany A, South Caro- j lina Engineeis, known as "The Johnsen Engineers," reached Marion their home station, Feb. 10 at 10 *a. m.. when a preat body of citizens met them at the station and welcomed them "back home." Company A is a fine body of men, who made ar excellent name for themselves on the Texas border. Army officials pro nounced them the most efficient bod* of men in this particular branch ot | the service on the border. There are about seventy-five mei in the company, and it is officered efficiently by Capt. J. Roy Pennell, . of Belton; Lieut. Jas. M. Martin, of Maron; Lieut. A. G. Kennedy, of Union, and Lieut. Jos. W. Barnwell, of Charleston. Immediately after leaving the station the men marched through the streets of the city to the old opera house, where they are making their home. The city council recently advised the government that this hall could be used by the "Johnson Engineers" as an armory, and it is admirably fitted for that use. Saturday evening at Graham's Hall, the people of Marion served the soldier boys with a fine banquet and at that time a formal welcome was extended to them. While but few of these soldiers are hi : ? - i _~ it. - . . . men luiutes, uie company Having been made up of picked men from all parts of the State, Marion feels that she is a proud mother of the whole company. Marion is the home station, because J. Monroe Johnson, of this city, at the request of Governor Manning, vent to Columbia and by his personal efforts raised the company, a:ul had it placed in service. When organ/ied and given the official designation of Company A, South CaroV'na Engineers, the men by a vote promptly dubbed themselves "The Johnson Engineers," in honor of the man who urged them in to the service of their country. . Capt. J. M Graham, United States arrny, arrived in Marion Thursday night and as soon as the papers of the company have been made ready, the medical examinations mmlo the paymaster has come and paid off, the company will he mustered out. o mCHEN SINKS Modern sinks mean almost as mucli to homes? for salimitation, comfort, cleanliness ? as do modern bathrooms.

We regret to report that Frank ireen has boon a little indisposed for the past few days. He is now oming aiound and seems to be very nuch improved. While mentioning the sick list we nigin also add that our good friend, vVilson Lawrimore, has been confined t.) his room for the past few days with a case of grippe. We are sorr\ indeed to know this as Wilson neve) forgets his friends down on the cam>us when he is able to get around. We have been having some cold ?veather here in Columbia for the past few days. We certainly hope that our good friends in Horry have not lossed all of their tobacco plants ecause of the cold snap. Especially does this wish apply to Frank Thomp son, who says that Conway is going to have a bu. tobacco season this year, and that the price is going to bo higher than ever. The University basketball team recently met and defeated the fast quintette representing the Porter Military Academy of Charleston. The lads showed considerable class and it was a hard struereie before Carolina nosed them out. Hon. L. B. Singleton an alumnus of the University was in Columbia a few days this past week. The Horry boys here on the campus as well as his other numerous friends were glad indeed to see "Sing" and trust that he will again visit them. The writer listened with interest t?> the address of Hon. Jeremial Smith a few days ago. Mr. Smit! came to Columbia to represent Horry at the meeting held here recently i; the interest of state wide, bone dry air tight prohibition. He made ? most earnest and eloquent plea be fore the members of the committee for the passage of this measure which if passed would mean death and destruction to John Barleycorn Col. C. P. Quattlebaum was alsc present, and he, too, came as a rep i Horry is being most ably repiCscnted this year in both the senate and house by her able delegations in each respective branch. In the sen ate Horry has a most able man ii Hon. Hal L. Buck. This is Mr. Buck's second term and from th? number of times h's name appear in the list of committees of the senate it can be easily seen that he is a prime favorite with his colleagues He also has many friends in the lower branch of the general assembly. He has been very busy indeed since he came up for the session but always finds time to greet his young friends from the University. In the House of Representatives Hon. Waterman M. Booth, and his colleague Hon. Walter L. Mishoe are at all times on the job. Mr. Booth is ever present at every roll call and does not fail to record a vote on every matter that comes before the house. He is at all times actively engaged in looking after the interests of the farmers as well as any other matters that per til in to the state and Horry especially. In Walter Mishoe Horry has one of the most promising legislators that ever represented the In dependent Republic here. His name appears on the most important committees of the house, and though he i > a new man his work as such has been most commendable. With this trio to look after their interests the tax payers of Horry County may rest assured that they have among the best in stock and so long as they travel at the gate seat, there will he no cause for regret among their many friends and well wishers back in Horry. With our best wishes to the Horry Herald and its manv readers. ?Forecast No. 2. University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. o .J. Q. Graham and Charley Gmhanrr of Aynor, S.

These buildings would thus be made a3 safe as it is possible for human ingenuity to devise. It is probable that these regulations will into effect immediately and with the stringent rules in operation at the capitol, where it will now be impossible for any one to en:or without a pass, it may be seen that there is fear lest some of thrgovernment buildings might suffer. It is impossible to get naval offices to talk for publication and what-1 ever news gets out is censored strictly before being given to the press, hut the fact that the buildings just' mentioned are soon to be cut off from all except those with passes and that even for them the most stringent regulations will be enforced, leads to the belief that the authorities are far from satisfied with the present situation.
