tt Daaam( HllnAf inn in

Florence
J BUYERS OF WEED
5 AND WAREHOUSEMEN
Began Arriving' Last Week and
Finding Places to Board
During Season.
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.

, 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.

L. D. MAGRATH IS ,
WINNER OF PRIZES
Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Magrath returned
last week from Niagara
Falls where they were attending
the Annual Convention of Fie Mc- I
Alister Vaughn and Scales General
Agency. Mr. Magrath, in addition
to winning the trip, was presented
with a gold watch for qualifying in
both the five hundred point club
and service club. He took third
prize in a contest which is put on
each year with his paper on the j
subject of "My methods in getting j
new business." and first prize on
[ the subject of "What we take home
! with us." This convntion is j. iven
to fire insurance agents each year
who qualify from the States of,
Virginia, North Carolina and South J
Carolina and was held this year at
the Hotel Clifton, Niagara.
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.

All of the tobacco warehouses in

as was sold last *year; owing no

later this yexir in getting a start.
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

After the next day or t\vo, if f.aforable
conditions prevail, large

The Herald has numerous complaints
from subscribers at the Jordanvillc
Post Office residing on a
star route leading from Jordanvilte
towards Conway. For the past several
weeks various subscribers have
complained at the office here that
their copies of the Herald were delivered
to the wrong places so that
they did not get them. In several
instances it can J)e proven that the
paper belonging* to one subscr'ber
would be delivered to another person
miles from the place, who did
not even subscribe for the Herald.

I iiii5s is a uaa condition of affairs
and the Herald publishes this item
to state that the Editor of the paper

to the Post Office Department unless
