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

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.

* * * + *
Conway should be pleased at the
frequent visits made to the town by
the people from abroad who arc
spending" the summer at M y r t 1 e
Beach. 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.

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 '

.begin to take in tobacco about Aue
list 1st. issue advance payments thereon
and the certificates to each mem !

Better facilities for the handling of

for the business men of Conway
to make.

TWO BY SAME PLANT
A farmer in another county of this
State has succeeded in producing a
plant which has Irish potatoes on the
roots of the plant and bears tomatoes
on the top or foliage part of the plant.
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.

NEW RESTAURANT AT MULLINS

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.

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

' /
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

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

FIRST OPEN BLOSSOM

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.
