Makes some Timely amJ Jntcostiii jr SuirjifesiHons Which Would I'ay Horry Strawberry Growers to Follow. The E '.s'oru Shore nf Virginia Produce Exchange at Only, Va , handles the products of truck fanners along 1 lie lino of the Pennsylvania railroad in Virginia and Maryland for a distance c>f 75 or more rniW; s? lling f .r cash thousands of car loads of these products even year, and have m ide the farmers of that section rich in tho past few years The Peninsular Exchange a' Williamsburg, Va , is another practical demonstration of what can tv done along this line, as well as many other similar exchanges. Tho>e are not associations but organized stock companies. The stock being owned and controlled by the growers. Ever since berries have been grown in this section tbev have b en sold in the Northern markets that is Chad bourne berries, have been sold at Chad bourne and ca*-h buyers have come there and bought their berries, paying cash for them In the past two years I lorry county has grown a few Klondyke berries and because of their better quality ov\ r some of the other varieties Conway has gained quite a reputation for its "Conway Klondyke" in B >stnn alone, that being the market where m >st, of them were shipped The result is that tins year Lor is and Glen have over 100 acres, San ford, and Bavbovo 20 acres, Adrian Ho acres, and enough at IIo me wood nr.d Convvav to bring the t.ocal acreage of Klondykes tip to H00 acres, and every last grower expects to ship his crop to Boston, with what result y u can readily see with eight to eighteen carloads going to Boston, besides other poiot.s. N >w, what we want to do is to get busy and stop advertising Chad bourne, N 0., and do something to attract attention to Conway, S C. Interest havers in the best, berries (/town on the earth. We can get buyers here to buy ten car loads n day when we cannot, get them here for two ear loads. When a buyer ^ starts out, to buy berries he goes where he knows he can get a full ear i load and get it every dav, at the time the grower wants enough buyers to make competition in buving and does not want the buyer to have it all His own way. Organize a stock company, the growers paying, sav $f> crush p?r share for the stock, elect seven or nine directors from Conway, Homevvood, Adrian, Bavboro, San ford and Cor is, each place in proportion to its acreage. The headquarters to be at Conway and to sell so many carloads each dav at, so much per crate, charging the grower ten rents per crate for sall-v ing and the stoekholders can realize a dividend on their stock at tho end of the season, having their berries sold at practically no expense and every berry sold on tract,i A buvor told the writer in Boston this winter he would come down and buv n car a dav if he could be guaranteed a car every day. Individually the average grower in Horry county can do nothing, but, collectively we can make TTorry county tho greatest, strawberry ship ping point in the world. As a growor has Slid, "Clod Almighty i? a little more kind to the strawberry growet's here than elsewhere. He has given perfect soil and climatic conditions for growing the finest Klondvke berry in the world " All we want, is good marketing conditions and a proper distribution of the crop which individuals fannnt give. I.1 ho growers know how to make thern, mow lots market thorn properly. Every crate of Klond vke berries going out. of FT rry county there should be in black letters at ^ least one and one-half inches high across the top of the crate, ''Conway Klondyke" and let the buyer in the North and elsewhere know where they grew and that we are not ashamed of our product*. Whose stencils may cost 25 cents each. Lets get. together and "boost up"; work all together for every individual grower's interest and make this section known.

This brief message spoils progress for Conway and 11 >rry county. The lack of such an institution in this part of the State has been long felt and the fact of its organizati >n meaus much to the busiuess interest of our c lunty We are inform od that the Bank Ims already purchased ten thousand dollars worth of United btates Bonds, and placed orders for its plates, preparatory to issuing its own currency. It) addition to the already strong Board of Directors,with the backing of their individual wealth, the Bank is now undi r the supervision of the United Slates (1 overr,tin nt The Bnru of Directors consist of the following well known business men of the town; J A.

As a matter of fact we ^ive herewith what we did write, and we have this letter on lile for any one to see it that wishes to It is as follows: "Dear Sir and Brother: "Your letter of the 2nd received.

Now, Mr Editor, we ask mat you tjpve this explanation as much prominence as the communication by Mr (lerrald.

We would i;n.? *1-0. * unt; yi/ll \>\J IUUH UVi'l' LUIS UI1U SCO exactly what our system is, as explained on the back of this blank.

My report as County Secretary was audited and approved by tho County Rxecutivo Committee, and I have receipts for all money which passed through my hands While I cannot believe that tho members of the Farmers' Union would attach any significance to the misleading statement of Mr Oerrald 1 don't propose to allow such statement 10 go to the public uncontradicted I immediately wrote Mr Reid enclosing him a copy of Mr Gerrald's extravagant claim in order for him to have an opportunity to defend himself as it was clearlv an issuo between Reid and Oerrald for my receipts would show where his money went.

We have written the Editor of the Herald requesting him to publish our letter and to give it as much prorainenco as he did that of Mr Gerrald. We will state further that as a matter of fact the Secretary at Mt Pisgah Local Union No 70t> has not yet made application for th? pass book in question. All that is necessary is for him to give us the names and state that the persons for whom he wishes books ure in ?ood and regular standing.
