Floral Beach, beautiful strip of
Horry strand, situate between Mur
rell’s Inlet and Myrtle Beach, has
been boupht from George Holliday, of
Galivant’s Ferry, by a former Barn
well man and a group of Columbian!,
who already have their plans laid to
make it the delightful summer' and
winter resort that tfOatural advan
tages and Tattractions warrant. In
telling of the proposed development,
The State, under date of May 9th,
had the, following to say:
J. D. Caldwell and R. D. McClure
returned yesterday from the beach
after closing the deal and gave the
announcement' that Ihe transfer,
which had been pending for some
time, had been made. With them
are: R. A. Easterling, of Denmark,
R. M. Caldwell, L. A. Emerson, B.
T .Bodie, J. B. Urquhart, Robect
Childs and others. A charter has
been issued under the name, “Floral
Beach,” of which J. D. Caldwell is
president, Mr. Easterling is vice
president, and Mr. McClure is the
secretary and treasurer.
The deal involves 2,000 'acres,
which nature has richly endowed.
Sitting in a cove, so to speak, the
strand, 1,900 feet wide, slopes gent
ly. There are no sand dunes. Back
of the broad sweep of the Atlantic,
there is a forest of live oaks and
pines and mingled here and there
The BULL’S EYE is a publica
tion that goes to print. When does
it go to print? It goes to print when
ever there is something to print. A
lot of papers, in fact to be exact, all
of them, have a certain time to be
issued, regardless of the news. If
nothing has happened that day or
that week the)’ have to come out
just the same. They want you to
pay for them whether they are any
good to you or not. Why should
a paper be printed if there is noth-
‘ ing hew to print ?
Sing Sing don’t electrocute a
man at a certain hour every day.
They wait until they get a good
man and then electrocute him They
don’t have a set time or custom,
and that is the way the BULL’S
EYE is operated. We don’t go to
press at ten o’clock tonight just be
cause we went to press at ten last
night. No, sir! We wait until we
have something that is worth while
to our myriads of readers. We get
them accustomed to the fact that
when they see the BULL’S EYE,
they say to themselves, “The
BULL has seen something worth
while,’’ and that is why the Paper
is out today. Because it has news
for you.
We saw a man smoking a sack of
“BULL” DURHAM and he was
getting so much satisfaction out of
it that we feel it our duty to tell
those that never used “BULL”
DURHAM just how they too can
get satisfaction.
P.S. Remember, you won’t lee us
again until we have something worth
P. P. S. There it going to be another
piece in this paper aooo. Look for it.
are rare flowers, The fishing is ex
cellent and of several kinds,, since
not only the ocean but a creek, and
inlet amd a river are nearby. -
Anticipating the transfer of the
property, the new owners have a!
ready gone to work. Engineers are
now laying out plans. There will
be a hotel on the strand; one back
from the beach in the lovely woods
There will be a golf course, bathing
casino, dancing pavilion. A top soil
road will be started at once* Some
of these improvements will not come
this summer. The new hotels will
not be ready, but the present accom
modations Will be enlarged. More
'ottagea will be built. The bathing
and dancing pavilion will be ready
for the season. , r „
“We are not going to develop in
a wild, speculative way,”! Mr. Mc
Clure said yesterday afternoon. ‘The
Floral Beach development is a life
time proposition. Nature has done
much for it. We are going to put in
all modern improvements and make
it a splendid all year round resort,
but we are not out to do it in a game
of speculation.”
Floral Beach was opened last year
by Mr. Holliday and fine progress
was made. Aready sold are 103 lots.
There are several cottages built
with store and hotel.
The new owners are highly en
thusiastic. As one said, he is dream
ing and eating Floral Beach, so to
speak, he. is so wrapped up in the
development.

T he educational opportunities for the boys and girts of
the South are keeping pace with the leadership of the
South in the economic progress of the Natioa
in .the following facts:
In the last twelve years more
than $125,000,000 haa been apent
for the construction of new school
buildings in the states of Hie South
served by the Southern.
In 1900 there were less than
73,000 school teachers in the
states of the South served by the
Southern, and the appropriation
for education amounted to only 90
cents per person living in these
states. In 1922 the appropriation
was $6M per person, and the
number of trained teachers had
to 139,309.
Inl900only 64.8 per cent of the chil.
dren of school age in theae states
attended school, while the average
for the nation as a whole was
72.4 per cent. But in 1922, the
latest year for which complete
figures ary available, 8L4 per cent
of the children in the states of
the $outh served by the South
ern attended school, while the
average for the nation as a whole
was 81,2 per cent.
The growth in the educational
facilities of the South, as well aa
the number of children that can
take advantage of them, ia one of
the fortunate and direct results of
the prosperity that has coma to
the South.

The Chief Telephone Expense -
Is Taxes and Wages x
T HE wage and tax bill of this company for the year
1925 amounted to $12,469,603.
These two items alone are more than 70 per cent
of the entire cost of producing your service.
Since 1916 the tax bill has increased 354 per cent/
and the wage bill has increased 267 per cent. During
the same period the average investment in service has
‘ increased 132 per cent.
In South Carolina the taxes for 1925 amounted to
$298,694, an increase of 400 per cent since 1916, while
the wage bill for 1925 was $807,112.
1 f* ,
Although taxes form such a large part of the cost
of producing telephone service, we have no objection,
to paying our just share of taxes. This is a duty of
citizenship which we perform cheerfully.
While the cost of producing telephone service has
increased, like the cost of all forms of government, the
nttes charged our customers fot the service have not
increased in anything like the same proportion as taxes,
wages and other expenses.
Such facts as these are of interest to telephone
users, and indicate the care and economy observed in
the business of rendering telephone service.
