The tobacco warehouses at Conway .and other towns of the county were opened for business on last Tuesday, July 20th, in accordance with an understai ding reached by tobacco men in a recent meeting held in Florence. There was every indication by louf urnolr fV?af hliAPft VI iv; IIIIIHIIV V? luno nvvn v..?? v..v- would be plenty of weed at the open ing sales, although, perhaps not as much as buyers might want. Tobacco buyers and warehouse men began to arrive in Conway last 1 week and week before andd finding * places to spend the time while the season is on. It is understood that the Chamber of Commerce, through efforts they have recently made, succeeded in getting the use of numbers of rooms in private residences, where the tobacco warehouse men and the buyers and their helpers will find lodging while the season is on. o , SUMMER SCHOOL NOTES. j - . We ave now entering on the second Wvek of the Summer School and are an>:?ous for our friefids through out the county to know something of the work that is being done by thof ? teachers who are in Attendance. Owing to the high cost of board and the difficulty of securin ; it at any price, the enrollment is not as large as Jformcrly but there is no lack of earnestness on y the part of the teachers, all are studying and making the most of the onportunity for improvement. It is a matter of regret to the board and to the faculty that every teach ?r in the county is not taking this ** course. We feel that the trustees and all others who are interested jn the school would enjoy visiting the school and seeing the teachers at work. It would give trustees a better idea of the ability and earnestness of a teacher if they could see her at work. A cordial welcome awaits you, come and see us at our classes. At ten o'clock each day there is a demonstration class of little children who have neve, been at school before. These little folks are beginning school work just as it should be done in the schools throughout the county, and are being taught in order to show the teachers how little children should be taught. We shall be glad for any who are interested is the eduL 9 cation of little folks to visit the f-< class at any time they care to do so. ?M. J. BulloJc, Co. Supt. of Education. Mrs. M. J.' Bullock.

RESTAIMITGHEN NOW BEING FINISHED Chamber of Commerce Will Endeavor to Find Reliable Restaurant Man SEPARATE BUSINESS FROM REST OF HOTEL New Kitchen Will be Cooler and Well Ventilated and Fire Proof. The contractor, who was engaged to put up an additional kitchen at Hotel Grace for the use of a restaurant to be conducted in the hotel dining room, began the work the latter part of last week after being delayed for some time in commencing it. It is not a very big addition to the hotel but will be fire proof in construction and large enough tovtake care of a larve restaurant business; and being separ ate from the regular hotel kitchen which was built in as ;a part of the original plan, this restaurant busiress can be conducted entirely apart from the rest of the hotel building. As was before stated, the management at the Grace Hotel discontinued its dining room 'service the middle of last February, owing to circumstances and conditions which weie fully explained at the time Since that date the Chamber of Commerce, recognizing the importance of providing ample service during the crowded tobacco season, proposed to take over from the ow.i er of the hotel the dining room and lease for a restaurant during the busy tobacco season. The owner of the hotel is build ing the separate kitchen at his own expense, and with the full expectation that the Chamber of Commerce will furnish a reliable tenant for 1 the property, at least during the tobacco season. They were recently in correspondence with several men who are competent to run such a business. / FINE MELLONS.

Another handicap this week has been the continued showers of rain. The rain has kept many from bring ing tobacco to the market. In some cases the damp weather had caused the tobacco to become too wet to place on the warehouse floors. The prices on the opening day ranged from about two cents per {>ound . for the lowest grade of sand ugs up to thirty-five and forty cents for the bright grades of this first of the crop. The sales consisted mostly of the very bottom leaves from the plants. The second and . third "curings" have not yet been , brought in and may not come in for several days. Numbers of tobacco growers were on hand when the warehouses opened last Tuesday morning and the town presented a lively appearance throughout the day. Buyers of tobacco stated that there was more tobacco on the open ' ing sales than they had milly expected considering the late crop, and also the rainy weather the opening week. , Reports brought in from Lons I and Aynor were to the effect that 1 11 l.'J.! - < il 1 uiuy siiiuii quantities 01 tilt- weeu were sold on the opening sales. After the next day or t\vo, if f.aforable conditions prevail, large quantities will change hands in all of the Horry markets every day.
