ONE WEEK EARLIER. | Until the year i919 the State Fair always came the same week that the Court of Common Pleas was in ses- j sion. For ten years or more before | the present time the commencing of the Court prevented many people in Horry County from attending the Fair, when they otherwise would have gone. It has been changed this year by reason of the passage of a new low in February 1919, which provides for t.ho hnldincr nf flio r'rkni-f i week earlier. Under the law as it existed before this year, the Court of Common Pleas, which is in session this week, would not have convened until next Mdhday morning*. !

This is a bad sta-te of affairs in a populous community like all parts of * Horry County is fast becoming. O OPTION AT BIG PRICE i Rumors were rut last week that S. P. Hawes had an option on the Horry | Drug' Company building at the price ( of fifteen, thousand dollars, and in j turn had transferred his op1 ion on the property at a good profit. The pi ire of real estate is high. This contemplated sale of the drug- store building does not interfere with Horry Drug Company which is an independent company and will continue to transact a large drug business in | Conway. o DRIGGISTS MEET. The druggists of Horry County and several adjoining counties are organized and they met and gave a banquet at Hotel Grace in Conway one evening last week. A number of leading- business men from adjoining counties were in Conway for the occasion. OPEN VIOLATIONS.
