Tt is all very well to act through chambers of commerce and other public bodies in making a town popular to the outside world; but there is a whole lot of force to be found in the individ ual efforts of the business interests working to that end, and especially when these individual efforts are put 1 forth in connection with the efforts made by the public trade body.

They find that we have a beautiful little town and that the business men are pleasant in transacting business of different "kinds. ***** There is need of all of the encouragement possible from the business men of the towns extended toward the farmers of the surrounding territory assisting in making things better for the people who raisp the crops and upon whose success the success of all other classes depends. ***** The farmers who will have to leave bome to do jury duty during the term that will commence on July 2nd. to 'ast two weeks, will regret that they happen to be drawn. There is no way for them to avoid it. The work of the courts is important and it must not s*op. It must go on for thfe good of the country. * * * 41 * Rev. P. B. Coats, bis wife, son and 'Untrhter and bis mother-ir-lnw wore visitors at the home of H. E. Stevens on a recent Sunday night, and the Sunday following. This is in a thriving farming section of Horrv Countv whovr the neople are dwelling in neighborly love and kindness, visiting and comforting each other. C. S. Rabon and Waitus Roberts, of Gallivants Ferry section, have! jlanted some tobacco together this' year on the farm of Mr. Rabon. Roberts has eleven acres of the weed to look after, or in which he is interested. He has planted with Mr. Rabon six acres of a variety known as Slate tobacco, having very mild and fine looking leaves. It was looking fine when the farmers were in Conway one day last week. ? What kind of tobacco did you plant, how did you fertilize it. how did you . cure it, and what were the results you got from the crop? All these and still more are interesting questions that will be asked about your tobacco crop this year. Keep a record as you go along and answer these questions for your own satisfaction even if you will refuse to publish the facts for the ! benefit of others who may wish to engage in the planting of tobacco. * * J. S. Beverly will leave here for 1 Loris about the first of July, where ' he will be engaged for the Tobacco 1 association as manager of the receiV- ( ing plant at that place. He will have a force working under him and will .begin to take in tobacco about Aue list 1st. issue advance payments thereon and the certificates to each mem ! ber who delivers the weed to the as- 1 sociation.

The man who grew it, however, fails to know how it was done and so we will lose the benefit of "knowing how this iViight be produced again. o j\mr> lfcn uut By some error of the printer, in printing1 the jury list last week, for the week of court beginning on Monday.

Thompson Electric Shoe Shop with a first class line of groceries ami cold drinks also on or about July 15th for the benefit of the farmers of Horry and surrounding counties. They will appreciate your trade at all times.?Adv. o CONDITIONS ARE BETTER Conditions are better on the Conway .tobacco market this year than they were last, because there are three warehouses to operate this year on the independent or auction plan, whereas there was only one thus operated here last year. This will make conditions much more to the advantage of the tobacco growers than things were last year. o TOBACCO SALE IN LAKE CITY Lake City, June 22.?The first to1 r A i * 1 1 I'ciet'o oi mc season was orougnt Here this morning by a negro from the Indiantown section, tlie load consist# ' / ng of three lots, aggregating about r.OO pounds of commons and lugs. It as bought by G. R. Bowon for ten cents, all around clear check. The crop this section is well advanced and many farmers are already busy gathering and curing. o WILL SEND EXPERTS The tobacco cooperative will begin its second important step in commodity marketing in South Carolina early in July with'visits by an expert corps of graders to 150 local units of the association in the Palmetto State, where demonstrations of sorting and bundling tobacco and uniform grading will be given to thousands of growers. W. E. Lea, field service representative of the association in South Carolina, and C. O. Dixon, its manager of warehouses for that state announce j hat these meetings will be open to J members at-1 non-members alike.; They est'mate that the visits of the; association's most successful graders to every county of the South Carolina Belt will increase the value of the crop in that section by many thousands of dollars. o TRADE WHERE SELLS One of the tobacco growers of the I county was in Conway one day last week and talking- about the large amount of tobacco which went from Horry farms last year to be sold on the independent warehouse floors or other towns in other counties, and lie remarked that it was human nature for the growers who sold in another town to do their trading with merchants of that place, and he said that he saw the growers fill their wagons with bundles and bag's from stores of Mullins merchants on the days that there were big breaks on the Mullins warehouse floors. He also said that it was done that way as a matter of convenience of the growers; that they had to have things from the stores, and they could not afford to go to Mullins and sell their tobacco and then make another trip to Conway, Aynor or Loris for the purpose of buying their supplies. o CURED FIRST BARN J. W. Gerrald cured the first barn of leaf tobacco from his fine crop near Bryboro, early last week, lie has one 01 the finest crops lo l>e found in the entire county and it is earlier maturing than he has ever had a crop before. o ANOTHER BLOSSOM Among those to send in early cotton blossoms is O.

FIRST OPEN BLOSSOM The first open cotton bloom came to The Horry Herald office on last Friday morning from the farm ot J. H. Cooper of Jordanville. Cooper is one of the most industrious and progressive farmers of that 1 section of the county. ( c o k WENT WITH THE SHERIFF } rj J. 0? Chestnut, constable under . Magistrate \V. H. Chestnut, and V..|g I). Johnson, of the rural police, were ( both with the sherilV of the county last week when he went out in the Pee ( Dee section to arrest a negro who had j j gone crazy from drinking poisonous moonshine. They assisted in making c the arrest. . s > o NEAR COOL SPRINGS , Last week the following tobacco' J growers of the neighborhood of Cool j Spring were gathering tobacco and . putting it in the curing barns: Har- _ ry Martin, W. I. Graham, Andrew, , Dimery and Daniel Skipper. All of > ^ these are said to have fine crops of ^ the weed and the curing will go ahead j on their farms until the entire crop\ has been harvested. | ^ o ' AHEAD WITH IT > Henry Doyle had a tobacco cron this year which was considerably advanced over the usual time when tobacco crops are ready to place in the . barns. He is said to have commenced gathering and curing on Saturday. June 16th. This is about the earliest we have heard of this season. He | lives in the Cool Spring section. NOT TOO HEAVY Speaking of the tobacco crops in no neigunornooci ot Avnor and t ori Snrinir. it was said that most of the crop in that section of the countv is of the small leaf variety and which is likely to cure into a bright grade Some few places were mentioned as having a heavy variety of leaf, hut these are few. CAUSES A WAIT The narrowness of the long hridre hist "oro?s t1-,e stool bridge. on tho way to Myrtle Reach is often th^ cause of a long wait. One trave'e last week reported that he had to wait for some time at the sidetrack just beyond the steel bridge on account of many cars com in ? over tho 1 bridge. There were so many that hefore one car had cleared at the Conway end of the bridge there were one. two or possibly more, entering at tho! other end. It is a pity that this bridge could not have been made with better facilities for passing. Owing to its length there should be more than one place where cars may pass. o PAY AT LORIS ' The Farmers Bank will t*?Ve vour subscription, new or old, and will report the deposit of the cash to The Cures Malaria, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever. 5!3i23.2Ai. ? < * % I It's ^ || Electric ^rl || Fan Time I 'v Summer has set in o for good and from all indical < one.
