"r * ^ . W? 4 PEOPLE LIVING AND LIVE LONC DOWN IN HORRY SAYS KOHN U ~ THE NEWS AND COURIER Interesting Facts Are Told by Note* Writer Following Visit To That Section August Kohn is not one of th< oldest men in South Carolina, bu he is old in the newspaper game. H &as the ability of finding the tru facts and stating these facts in thi most convincing manner. He ha been a president of the State Pres association and now fills the positioi of treasurer of the association. H known and loved by practicall; $very newspaper editor ana maste printer in South Carolina today. Th< article which follows was written b; _ him for his paper, the News and Cou ^ier, following the meeting of the as tociation at Mvrtle Boach.?Edito The Horry Herald. c Myrtle Beach, Horry County?Thi South Carolina Press association me this year at Myrtle Beach, a seclude* and attractive resort on the borde of Horry county and bordering th< broad Atlantic ocean. There wen 100 or more members present. No 20 per "cent had ever been in Horr. county and many had never had th< "waves of the Atlantic tumble then over in the surf. It was a great ex perience to most of the newspape folks. Without dissent this has beei voted a most eventful meeting. Firs of all, there was r.o counter attrac tions. No city lure but the newspa per family?and a happy one it wa; ?was kept together to talk busines and to get better acquainted with th< Pee Dee section, and particularl; with Horry county. r The invitation to the press associa tion came from the chamber of com merce of Conway and Myrtle Beach As a matter of fact, it was distinctl; a Horry county reception. Even be fore Horry was reached Marion ex tended a cordial welcome,' througl Editor Palmer W.. Jphn^on,/ am wanted to hold the press group. Bu Myrtle Beach had the first call. Jt is practically sixty miles througl the country from Marion to Myrtl Reach. Heavens knows how far i would be by rail via Chadbourn, N _ c. There is no . all-South Carolin; rail connection between Marion am Conway or Myrtle Beach. Horr; county?not Conway?saw that th press association had a delightfu trip to the place of meeting. It wa an eye-opening automobile trip. Mor than enough cars were in waitin; first to take the guests to Conwaj and then after luncheon on to Mvrtl Beach. Gallivant's Ferry marks th county line, and here the Holliday gladly offered a hearty welcome. Then at Aynor the hospitable tow folks blocked the main rpad wit brush to have the party stop for hand-shake and a glass of lemonade So it was at Homewood. We Live?and Live Long?In Horr "We Li\e- and Live Long?i Horry" is the real watchword o Horry. It is no idle sounding catc phrase. They call it the Ihdepenc ent Republic, and .such it really i* 'TVl A lnnol^OAn f A TTT V? ? /"?V* f Ko rVVQCC! nQY XU^ lUXlVXX^VlX Ol/ " U1VU Ml ViJO ty sat down -at Conway was splendi and tempting. It would have don credit to any hotel with unlimited market. The menu simply state "Produced by Horry farmers. Pre prred by Conway ladies. Served b; C nway girls." It was a Horry coun ty undertaking from the fried chick en to the tobacco?all except th< iced tea and that's why Horry count; * is the "Independent Republic." They claimed in the banque speeches, Mayor Magrath and Marioi Wright and former Congressmai Scarborough that Horry had th< highest birth rate of any county 11 the South, or perhaps it was in th< nation. The true greatness of Hor ry, however, i<3 first in the fact tha of its SO,000 population it has 23, 000 wide-awake and ambitious whit* people?the largest proportion 0 whites of any county in the state. A county with approximately 8( per cent of intelligent and savin* white people can do things. And t< this, the fact that it is almost entire Iv a rural population?over 90 pe: cent. Then pile on this the recorc fact that 79 per cent of the farms art owned by the farmers who cultivat< them and there is a real stimulus ap parent. This is the record. That i: why they say "We Live?and Li*< Long?In Horry." Get this: Mr. Burroughs, a pro gressive and keen business man, tolc me that two years ago Horry count? made 12,000 bales of cotton, las year about 3,500 and this year i would not make 2,000 bales. Yet th< people are happy and prospering anc boast of the fact that throughout th< last two years of business stresi ?rwwwwmhuu ? mmmmm wwr there had been no business failure-si in Conway. What other county seat } I of size in this state can make a sim-l j ilar boast? I i\ i: cl Let me borrow from a hand-book issued the day the newspaper folks 0( gathered at Mvrtie Beach a few ; facts about Hrory. Perhaps too lit- a i tie is known of this progressive Si j county tucked away in the far eas-fo tern section of the state: it e I u 'The depredations of the boll wee- ir givil have been perhaps less felt in a e Horry county than in any county m c e' South Carolina. The production of n s cotton has always been practically a: _ negligible, the average crop being n j ^ around 10,000 bales. The invasion ; of the weevil has caused none of the tl ^.! frantic shifting to other crops which tl rjhas characterized other sections of n i the "state and South. Diversification b : has been the consistent policy of u i Horry farmers for a generation or c; _ j more. tc r "The chief money crop of the l: county is tobacco. The average crop tl * ** r\ r\ r\ r\ n f\ A ?. _ j totals some jlo,uuu,uuv puuuus, ^,-iu e' 000,000 pounds of which are sold on Ir t j the Conway market. The prices for w j, tobacco until the last two years have 3M J yielded a splendid income to the far- W * j e | mers. As soon as the period of de- m B pression has been passed there is ev- w *.1 ery reason to believe that the price IJ ^ ! .. j for the weed will return to normal. M Q{ "Some 30,000 barrels of Irish poJtatoes are shipped each year to Nor- ti Jthern markets. Depending somer what on market conditinos, this crop J 1 i has usually proved quite profitable pi ?1 and will doubtless become more at- tl _: tractive in the future. The 6&il sur- r< Jvey bulktin makes the following ti . statement: _ a: s! "The production of Irish potatoe: A 3: has increased materially as a i esult s( of the present demand for food prod- a: I ucts. The center of production is ir w _ithe vicinity of Myrtle Beach, one cl I -fnI'm nfior tViaf TH51PP Vl*?v5n?T OVPT >i X <*4. 4*4. * ?O " ! SOO acres devoted to the crop. Near- 3 u ^ ^ i ly every farmer plants from two to o J ten acres of potatoes. Grower.: esti i 1 mate- the profit in this crop from J ^ $100 to $150 an acre. 3 "Horry county raises irore thar, . 1 t enough corn for home consumption. 3 j During the past few seasons corn ha? tl I been shipped to other point.?, and thi T ! outlook is that the export or this '< cyop will grow in comir/; years. Ac- r ? ' _ _ _ .. ... . ~ cording to the soil survey bulletin -v . the acreage of com is almost equal *1 * to that of all other crops oovbirvu -v "Another mone1; crop of some im- a portance is strawberries. The pre? .3 * ent season has witnessed the paying i ^ uf splend'd prices f-,r berr:e.v Tlu fl revenue derived from this source is i s leading more and more farmers intc planting a part of their lands in thir ? * crop. During the next season ship' ? ' ments will be made in carload lot: from Conway and Loris. The soil' e of the county are especially adaptec . s.to berry culture." Ilorrv countv?in fact, the \vhol< h Pee Dee section?has gone in foa good roads. It is a sixty-mile rid' from Marion t Myrtle Beach, anc ' every foot of u.3 road through Mar y ion and Horry is good enough for th< n lull speca oi tne car. uut irom Ma >f rion there are nine miles of splendic ; h gravel Toad; the rest is top-soil. Th< ; I- inclination is to make it all better 1 One Conwayite remarked that gooc { roads had put Horry county 10( d miles closer to tjie balance of th< [ e state. ' d? . i ? d.' Myrtle Beach is not a new resort - Col. D. A Spivev said Columbus land ; y ed at Myrtle Beach. "Billy'' Bal - and Harry Watson questioned thnJ ; statement, but if Columbus had hac i [ e the choice he would probably havt : ' y* chosen Myrtle Beach. First of all ; r ! it is direct.lv and fronting on tho At-- i t lantic ocean?no intervening bays o^ : n "approaches. Automobiles can and dc 1 drive from Spartanburg as die e Charlie Hearon, or from Columbia ; a as did Billy Banks, directly to the ' g bathing pavilion, fifty feet from the 4 - Atlantic ocean. It is a gradual, san 3 t dy and ideal beach. It is a safe ' - surf?no undertow and a long grad 2 ual incline, but out of the abund f ance of caution the Myrtle Beach ho i tel people have young- Wheeler, the .'j ) Carolina football player, engaged ar :t t life-saver. He had an enjoyable ^ 3 time watching the newspaper folks ^ - but no real rescue work. r ''There are, perhaps, 200 cottages i owned and occupied by individual ? families frnoting the boach. The ma- j j jority of these families are from Con way, Darlington, Florence, Sumter. J 5 Marion, Mullins and the Pee Dee sec } 3 tion generally. The Myrtle Beach | Hotel i.< a typical resort hotel' with . accomodations for a couple of nun- !; I dred quests. >\ jj The facilities are simple but am- \ t' pie, the rooms large and clean and t'the attendants eager to please. The j hotel conducts a spacious dance hall, 1 an annex and bathing pavilion. There i is ample accommodation for guests. ^ 5 A charming voung student, Miss Esi c Elliott, has just opened the Blue' loon Tea Room near the hotel. The latest and most notable addilon to Myrtle Beach is the Yacht lubhou^e. This is a most attractive iree-story frame building on the cean front. A pier is now being uilt to extend out to a pavilion and How landings. Some of the boys jggested that the pier was to be uilt out beyond the three-mile 11m. The Yacht club has 200 members, lostly from the Pee Dee section and thoroughly modern and attractive [ubhouse. A group of newspaper len enjoyed a real seafood dinner t the Yacht club and heard some ew stories. At no time and at no place have le good people been so general in leir hospitality and in the earnestess to bring pleasure. Scores of usincss men gave up their time, the se of their automobiles and in most ases drove their care from Marion ) Mvrtle Beach and back again, over 20 miles. They enjoyed it because ley like such things and they like > herald the joys of living in Horry. 1 this group among those I met ere Marion A Wright, Henry Buck, [r. Burroughs, Hoyt McMillan, T. E. fatson, A. C. Thompson, Congresstan E. B. Scarborough, Mr. Sherrood, Col. D. A. Spivey, George J. [olliday, Editor H. H. Woodward, [ayor L. D. Magrafi and Mr. Piatt, it everyone was eager to do more i n a full share of the entertaining. The meeting of the association was istinctly successful. More newspuer workers and master printers lan ever were present. It was a ^cord attendance. Just +o show The end, six former presidents of the ssociation were present?Col. E. H. uil. "William Banks, i?a^:y 1.. Wat>n, Ed. H. DeCamp, A. B. Jordan nd August Kohn?and the others ere there in the same proportion? ic Piedmont section?Kion McKisck, Gossett, of Tugaloo; P. W. mith, Chas. 0. Hearon, Peace of reenville; DeCamp of Gaffney, and host of other mountaineers holding p the spirit for that section. The newspaper workers were all uartered in the commodious Myrtle each hotel and they had and used ie opportunity of comparing notes, hey talked shop, and strange to say, r? ir?c Va rwi cnnmc irr?f aij ii in v jk/ uii ixvc. w wiiv duiuo j ^ w mch excited over politics. There ere many excellent papers read by ie members and * the discussions ere particularly interesting. There as a distinct commercial trend t(^ tie discussions and hereafter the lembcrs indicate that real business nil not be neglectd by the instrunentalists of the association. Horry and Conway were eye-openrs to those who were not, familiar vith that thriving section. Truly we have a great state! August Kohn. ANNOUNCEMENT FOR CONGRESS T ? rl ^ AW nlnnf i !
