Vere the Local Companies and
They Went Out Under Disbandment
Orders of Gov.
Manning.
A dispatch from Georgetown dated
ast Monday says:
Apparently Georgetown is to be
rithout any form of protecton from
ocal military forces, either by land or
ea, for both her national guard and
laval militia are hors de combat, the
?ne having been disbanded and the oth
ir now seeking to save itself from
aich a fate.
An inspection of the Georgetown
itifle Guards is due to be held today,
md at first it was resolved to make
i strenuous effort to get the company
n shape for this occasion, but later
t was announced by Capt. L. B. Steel
>i the militia company, that no such
iteps would be taken, his purpose be
1g simply to allow the inspecting of ers
to look over the company's prop
ty Lnd make a report on his inabily
to keep the company up to the relirements.
It has been suggested that a comittee
of citizens be formed to meet
e adjutant and inspector general
id his assistants and discuss meas*es
looking to the retention of the
rvernment property pending a reorinization
of the guards. Lieut. Col.
. B. Springs and Capt. Steele are
uch concerned over the condition in?
which the company has fallen, and
?plore the lack of interest shown by
le members of the company, non-at
ndance on meetings being pronounid.
Georgetown has a body of fine
>ung men as material, and it has
jcn suggested that a new company
recruits be formed as a means of
ivlng the situation. The importance
" retaining the national guard is reaThe
Georgetown naval militia comany
disappeared through the disband
ent order recently issued by Gov.
.i. Manning, and Georgetown is now
I nevoid ot protection by this arm ot
the government service. The passing
of the company caused no great bejreavement,
however, as it had dwindled
to a name only. The order of
idisbandment is considered a wise one,
Sfor no meetings were being held, the
^membership had dropped to only a
Tew, most of the officers had resigned,
jand Lieut Sherrill was left nearly
Jhigh and dry in his charge of the government
property, which shows neglect
and wear. The disbandment has
Heft the situation open for a complete
^reorganization, and this city wants
(fco see a strong and up-to-date naval
l/nilitia established in place of the old.
I.. SUMMARY OF THE WAR. ...

STATE S. S. CONVENTION
Newberry is Place of Meeting and
April 20-22nd the Date
To the Sunday School Workers:?
Newberry has been chosen as the
place of meeting for the next State
Sunday School Convention, and April
20-22 fixed as the time. The time for
the Convention was fixed to take advantage
of a tour party of distinguish
ed speakers that will be passing
through the South, so we may look
forward to a very strong convention.
We will hold our County Convention
some time next month at Loris.
We now have the matter of date up
with Mr. Carman, our now Cpnorni
Secretary, and will fix a time that he
can be with us. Mr. Carman since
coming to this State about a year ago
from Colorado has been doing excelent
work, so we are anxious to have
him at our Convention. We are also
corresponding with other speakers
from out of the county, and we can
promise you a strong program.
There arc still three districts in the
County that have not held their annual
Convention. No. 2, including all
Sunday Schools west of the A. C. L.
Railroad and lying between the Potato
bed Ferry Road and Lake Swamp;
No. 3., all Sunday Schools west of the
A. C. L. Railroad and north of Lake
Swamp; and No. 4 covering the territory
east of the A. C. L. Railroad and
j north of the Myrtle Beach Railroad.
We certainly do not want to go up to
the State Convention without having
held these Conventions. If your school
would like to invite the other schools
in your district to meet with you,
kindly communicate with me as soon
as possible. Franternally yours,
Paul Quattlebaum,
Pres. Horry Co. S. S. Assn.
FARMERS LIBRARY

Opened By M. W. Wall, Farm
Demonstration Agent at
Conway
!ON HIS OWN- INITIATIVE
The Store Room Formerly Occupied
by C. L. Abrams &
Soil in Hotel Building.
At his own initiative, Prof. M. W.
Wall, county farm demonstration
agent, has procured the vacant store
room formerly occupied by C. L. Abrams
& Son in the Kingston Hotel
building, and has fitted this up for a
farmers' library and rest room for
them when they come to Conway. Mr.
Wall explains his purpose in a letter
recently written to the State department
of Agriculture:
"I have recently rented a building,"
says Mr. Wall, "here on Main Street,
and it is my purpose to open to the
xarmers of Horry county and visitor'
at large the doors of the building.

this building, at the same time we are
going to have a public agricultural
library with plenty of stationery and
necessities for any farmers to do their
business when they are in town. Besides,
I hope to have an exhibition
from time to time of some of all the
agricultural products from this county.
In fact, I want it to serve as a
bureau of information for any one
who is interested in agriculture.
"Now I am asking your cooperation.
You have had the experience in
such work for the State of South
Carolina. You can give me very
best information that can be had. I
want you to write to me just what you
think of the movement. Furthermore,
I am asking that you send me all the
literature that you have for distrbution,
also what you have that you can
give for such a library?such as South
Carolina handbook and anythiner else.
"If you have some exhibits of seeds
that you have no further use for that
I can put on exhibit and acquaint the
farmer with something that he knows
nothing about I will apreciate it very
nr'rh. I will gladly pay all transpor/wion
charges.
e "I am doing this on my own "hook"
>and will appreciate anything that you
can do for me."

the Building is Sprinkled
Automatically.
A representative of a large company
was here last week looking into
several matters which had been referred
to him by his company relative
to the installation of what is known
as the automatic sprinkler system of
protection against fire. It is new in
this section of the State. It is rapidly
growing into use in the North and
the plan of putting it in is unique.
The company, or at least one company,
offers to put it in and take their
pay in instalments over a period of
years, out cf the savings in the premiums
that are paid for fire insurance
on the building. The plan consists of
installing a series of pipes of water
conveyors over the entire building
and in all concealed spaces, and by
U., 4. 4-.'- 1 1 '

is caused to act by heat, the water is
turned on automatically and the fire
is put out, no matter in which part of
the building the same may occur.
Enquiries were received by the com
pany from two or three concerns in
Conway who contemplate putting in
this system,.and the representative of
the concern will be back again in a
few weeks. It is thought that the
will close contracts with several in
Conway.
Tangle Over Timber Logs.
Last week a warrant was sworn out
for I. N. Cribb charging the taking
up of three clamps of drifted timber
logs which evidently got loose up the
river near Conway and were taken up
between this point and Enterprise
landing. Mr. Cribb stated that he had
found these logs afloat on the river
just underneath the surface about to
go down and tied the logs up where
they remained for some time. That
he then saw the managers of the lumber
mills at Conway and they disclaimed
the ownership of the logs.
That the logs finally sank in the river
and that he then took them up and
sold them at Enterprise. There seem
ed to be some doubt about the owner
ship of the property and at last accounts
it was said that the warrant
had been withdrawn.

on the Farms of This
County
SATURDAY WAS GOOD DAY
Only Speaker of the Day Was
M. W. Wall, Farm Demonstrator.?
Others Inavoidably
Absent.
Last Saturday was fertilizer and
economy day for the farmers of this
vicinity. The meeting was held in the
county court house. Farmers are be
coming interested these days in questions
which formerly they left strictly
alone. By these means they are
rapidly becoming more efficient in
the work they render on their lands
from which they will draw a better
and better income.
At the meeting last Saturday quite
a crowd of farmers and others were
present. It was one of the most important
meetings ever held in the
eeurt house. It showed enthusiasm
and spirit from beginning to the end.
There was only one speaker present
M. W. Wall, County Farm Demonstra
tor, the others being kept away by un
avoidable causes. The meeting was
not one of mere oratory. In fact that
feature was left out entirely, but it
was a meeting for intelligent discission
and exchange ideas, the kind
that really pays to attend. Conditions
in Horry County were discussed, not
those far off that do not apply to us
at home.
The fertilizer question was the subject
which received the most attention
Each element was taken up and discussed
separately, as well as taking
it as a whole. The talk about lime
created much interest. It was brought
out and proven by sufficient evidence
that Horry soils needed most an application
of ground limestone.
Magistrate Court.
In the court of Magistrate W. H.
Chestnut last Tuesday, Jess Dawsey
1 ? - 11- . f
was uuunu over lo me court 01 lienor
al Sessions on a charge of disposing
of property under lien brought by
the Conway Live Stock Company. In
the same case his two brothers, J. W.
Dawsey and W. W. Dawsey had previously
been bound over on this
charge. The case is expected to come
up and be tried next week.
Johnson Sold Out.
The stock of merchandise of the
Conway Mercantile Co., recently closed
under a chattel mortgage was sold
last Tuesday at public auction at the
store on Laurel Street. It went off to
Conway Bargain House for the sum
of $265.00,
J. E. Dawsey Sold Out.
Last Tuesday the stock of jewelry
and store fixtures of J. E. Dawsey
was sold in bulk at the store on Main
Street. The goods had been sized ami
advertised for sale under a chattel
mortgage held by S. J. Lewis and he
became the purchaser of the property.
England Silent.
London, Feb. 8.?News of the Lusitania's
arrival at Liverpool under the
American flag is given much space
in the English papers today, reflecting
the popular feeling that the incident
is one of great importance. It is
not generally expected, however, that
tho government will take action unless
Washington reouests an exnlnna
tion.
Military interests centered today in
the east. Tremendous efforts by both
sides continue there, but as yet no decisive
results have been reported. The
Russians apparently have checked the
fierce attacks on the reinforced Austro-German
army in the Carpathian
passes, but in Poland, in front of War
saw, the opponents appear still to be
hammering each other's lines with a
fierceness which recalls the first German
invasion of Poland.
In spite of the desperate nature of
the fighting in front of Warsaw, it
generally is believed in England that
the actioin developing in the Carpathians
is more critical. The Russian reverse,
it is thought, will compromise
the new campaign against Hungary.
Except for several minor German
attacks on Nieuport the western line
of battle has evidently enjoyed a quiet
week's end. Air and sea operations
also have been suspended during the
past few days, London not even being
thrilled by the usual Sunday rvunors
that Zeppelins were on $biv way
here. There also been complete
absence of naval n^wa.

AIRSHIP AND CREW

FELL IN THE NORTH SEA
An Accident to the Air Craft
During a Storm is Supposed
to be the Reason.
! The entire crew cf a Zeppelin which
had been missing four days was
drowned when the airship fell in the
North sea off the Denmark coast during
a storm, it was reported at Friedrichshafen.
Details had not been received.
It is said one Zeppelin and two airships
of the Parseval type will accompany
the German troops detailed to
take the field against Servia. The
Parsevals, deflated and loaded on special
railroad trucks, passed through
Munich on the way to Vienna.
Austria is experiencing great difficulty,
especially in Hungary, it is reported,
in mobilizing the landstrum of
the classes from the years 1878 to
1890, which recently were called to
the colors. Women are said to be
preventing the men, many of whom
are grandfathers, from leaving their
homes.

One of the newest German Zeppelin
airships which has been missing four
days, is reported at Friedrichshafen
to have been lost in the North Sea, off

visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.

Baby, Coy Corbet. He was 5 months
old. He was taken ill on December
the 20th with pneumonia fever and
suffered three weeks and then was
taken with diptheria and suffered
with this until his death. Still we do
not mourn as those who have no hope
May we all live so as to meet him in
Heaven.
Sleep on, dear darling,
And take thy rest
And be forever blessed.

No. 45
PRESSED FOR FOOD
GERMANS RETRACT
Germany Makes Preliminary
Reply to American Note
PROVIDED ENGLAND ACTS
By Calling Off Threats to Prevent
Food Supplies Getting
to Germans Civilians.
Count BernstorfT, the German am
bassador, today presented to the state
department a note from his government,
announcing that Germany will
consider recission from its announced
intention of attacking British merchantmen
if Great Britain will withdraw
its efforts to prevent foodstuffs from
reaching Germany's civilian population.
The note declares Germany's plan
to attack British mercshantmen was
a retaliatory measure adopted because
of the alleged violations of international
law by Great Britain in trying to
starve the non-combatant population
of Germany and the latter government
is ready to withdraw from its
purpose as expressed in the naval war
zone decree as far as it applies to mer
chant vessels, as soon as Great Britn
i ? > 4 1% ^ * 4-rt I 4- ? ?- ? ?
am, I'uiifi ui iLS uwu vuiiuuii, ur il
result of representations from the
neutrals, expresses her willingness to
return to the usual practice of international
law on the question of foodstuffs.
The German note adds that the
Berlin government has information
that English merchant vessels are being
armed and have orders to sail in
groups for protection, and that they
would try to sink submarnes. It declares
the result would be that German
ships, instead of searching them
would fight them because they now
would be considered warships.
The note declares further that
Great Britain, according to the information
of Germany, intends to use
neutral flags, and that therefore, neutral
shipping will be in danger in the
war zone. It is urged, therefore, that
neutral shipping observe Germany's
request and go around the north of
Scotland in the course declared outside
the war zone.
It was stated that the note, received
by the ambassador from his foreign
office and promptly taken by him personally
to the state department, was
not a reply to the recent American
communcation in regard to the war
zone decree. A more comprehensive
and detailed reply to that is expected
soon.
The note, it was pointed out, constitutes
a sort of intermediary reply,
possibly presented to the government
because the date when the war zone
decree goes into effect, February 18,
is so close at hand.
