THOMPSON, CONWAY, 9 PAGE FIVE * VERY GOOD NEWS FOR CONWAY TOWN Says That Seaboard Air Line Will Come Across Horry by Conway. From what the Enterprise can learn, it is now a certainty that the Seaboard road is K?>ing- to tap on to iU- I' - I nit- main line and extend its traclw through Horry and on to Conway, Little River and South Port, N. C. If our information is correct, the new road will open up and develop one of the richest sections of the | State. Not only is there rich anil | productive land, hut a great deal of valuable timber will be available for commercial purposes. Owing to the lack of railroad facilities in the southeastern section of Horry, there is lots of pine timber over there which is now so badly needed in the gieat building boom that is oh all over the country. With a railroad running through the section from C< nway to Little River and on t> South Port, Horry has a bright agricultural future.?Mullins Enterprise. i o POSTM \ SYER EX A MIN A TION.
