Newspapers

• The Horry Herald began publication in 1886 in Conway, South Carolina. The first publisher was E. R. Beaty; Evan Norton was the editor in the 1890s. After the turn of the century, the Herald was edited by H. H. Woodward for many years and later run by Lem Winesett.. The articles in the newspaper provide us a glimpse into the life of that era in Horry County. We can see the daily comings and goings of the people we have found in the census and read about in historical articles. We also have a view of the complicated political climate of the time. Transcribed by Sarah Edmondson.
• The Sun News   Horry County's largest daily newspaper.
