1 '1 he South Carolina Convention of
the Second National Missionary Cam*
paign is to be held in Columbia, S. C.,
'JpL February (>, 7, 8, 9, 191G.
Since the first National Campaign,
held in 1909-1910, there have been
! many signifif.mt changes throughout
the universe. Just at this time practically
the entire world in power and
in might, i engaged in devastating
war. Nation after nation is engaged
in a death struggle and Hate stalks
^ abroad. As these words are written,
our United States of America is the
only world power at peace with all
the nations; and, as a direct result of
this situation, we arc facing, at home
| and abroad, the greatest opportuities
iiyi ovi'vicc uvcr I/O US. It
I is important that the Laymen of our
f State should assemble again to con!
sider in a practicable and comprehen+
sive way the general interests of the
Kingdom, to face the special opportunities
confronting us and to plan to
I meet and faithfully discharge our ob(ligations
to evangelize the world; in
short, to "Enlist for the World Service."
The purpose is threefold: INFORMATION,
INSPIRATION, AND
0 METHOD.
rjhe object of the Convention is to
furnish information about the work
j we should do, to strengthen our con,
victions that we can do it, and present
' methods by which it can be done.
Men who are in closest touch with
our Missionary work at home and
5 abroad will bring first hand informa0
tion from the field. Men who are
i grappling with the policies of admin,
istration and methods will contribute
| their thoughts and experiences. Bus]
iness men of large means who have
i large investments in the extension of
' the. Kingdom and men on small salar!
ies, but with a high standard of stewardship
will join in the discussion.
A provisional program will be an^
nounced through the press and distributed
through the mails as early
as possible. No effort will be spared
in securing the most effective Missionary
speakers available.
Team "C" the designation of the
group of speakers for the South Car
olina Conversion, will give special atHL
4 tent ion to denominational conferences
V to be held in the afternoons of each
day. In those meetings will be con
* sidered the main "objectives" of the
1 * missionary plans of the different deI
nominations. These meetings are
I meant to afford opportunity for a deI
finite presentation of denominational
I purposes and of plans for their rcaliI
^ zation.
I The sessions will be held in the Au1
ditorium of the Jefferson Hotel, with
I overflow accomodations provided for
I at the Arsenal Hill Presbyterian
I Church and the Main Street MethoI
dist Church, both of which arc within
I a block of the Convention Auditorium
E The Convention will open on SunI
day, February 6th, 1916, at *1:00 p. m.,
1 and will continue through Wednesday
I T night. Fivery delegate should be pres
I cnt at all the sessions, if posVble.
I While attendance at single sessions
I is worth while, the cumulative effect
I of the program is lost by irregular
I attendance.
I The Committee is planning defiI
nitely for the registration of three
I ,4thousand men. No limitations are
| made on t.he rer?vne*??f of ? -r 1 -

nominations or of congregations, every
denomination and every congregn
tion being entitled to as many delegates
as desired to attend.
The Convention will be self-entertaining,
each delegate being expected
to provide for his own expenses. Ar^

CO
ROADS OF COUNTY
BETTER THAN EVER
The Improvement Due to Own
ers of Motor Driven
Vehicles.
The roads of Horry County are
much better than they were a few
years ago. Time is not far in the
past when impassable swamps on
some of our main roads in time of
flood made it impossible to travel
that way without danger of a breakdown
or a good wetting. For the past
several years long bridges have been
stretched across most of these and
bad places in the roads have been filled,
sand hills have been capped with
clay, and to-day this county has better
roads than it dreamed of having
ten years ago.
The determination of the citizens
of the county to have better roads, the
placing of good men in office so far as
possible, and the raising of more road
funds than formerly, have all had
something to do with this improvement.
Hut there is another factor
that has helped and this is the advent
of the motor driven vehicle. Owners
of automobiles have had a great dea!
to do with the improvement of the
roads in this section of the State.

HEARING MONDAY IN
BELLAMY-BRIGHT CASE.
There was a hearing last Monday
morning in tlie magistrate court of
W. H. Chestnut, Esqr., in the case of
Bryan Bellamy against Sam Bright
and his wife Mrs. Eula Ray Bright.
The facts out of which this contention
grows are as follows in brief: The '
late Fletcher Bellamy some time be- 1
fore his death' employed Mr. C. C.
Gore, a well-known surveyor and con- i
veyancer, to write a land deed giving 1
seven acres of land to his daughter,
Eula Ray Grainger, so long as she 1
should remain single and when she ,
married to go to his young son Bryan ,
Bellamy and his heirs forever. This
deed was executed and delivered to
and accepted by Mrs. Grainger. Later 1
or a short time before his death third !
parties interested in behalf of Mrs.
Grainger, who it seems decided to
marry again, induced Fletcher Bel- .
lamy, who was in his last illness to ,
execute another deed giving this same ,
land to Eula Ray Grainger for life ,
and at her death to her own son a ,
small infant. This last deed was dat- .
ed back several months to make it
apparently ahead of the other deed.
Later Mrs. Grainger married the
second time, Mr. Sam Bright. Under
the advice of the new husband she determined
to hold the land under this
ante-dated deed. The hearing last
Monday was under an order to show
cause issued by Mr. Chestnut for
Bryan Bellamy, why the Brights
should not vacate the premises. The
court held that in order to hold the
place longer the defendants would
have to enter into bond as required by'
the statute to answer for all cost and
expenses that Bryan Bellamy will incur
in the successful establishment of
his claim by bringing suit in the court
of Common Pleas.
rooms may he reserved in advance at
the lowest possible rats. Delegates
have the choice between hotels, board
ing houses and private homes of persons
willing to rent rooms during the
Convention. When preferred, rooms
may be secured and meals had at hotels
and restaurants. Visiting ministers
and pastors will be entertained in
the homes of the church people of Columbia,
and will not be charged a registration
fee.
The Virginia-Carolina Passenger
Association has granted a round-trip
rate to the Convention of one and a
third fare plus twenty-five cents.
This is the same r!it? ?rv??it/wl
...? ? ??vv ^1UIIVV\| tu l/H\;
Southern Commercial Congress, and
is the very best rate granted by the
railroads to any convention.
Address all inquiries concerning
registration, entertainment, transpor-.
tation and programs, etc, to J. O. Van
Meter, Executive Secretary, Y. M. C.
A. Building, Columbia, S. C., where
they will be placed in the h^nds of jjjje
proper committees and receive prompt
attention.

STORESM ON
NEW APPEARANCE
The L. H. Burroughs stores on the
cornei of Main Street and ord Avenue,
recently purchased by the Conway
Trading Company, put on a new appearance
last week as the work of
altering them and making* additions
Jo the front began and went on from
day t0 day. The oak tree standing in
the street at the corner of the property
was trimmed up so that it no longer
obstructed the view of the stores
from the street. The old sheds in
front of the building that had done
duly as an awning for a number of
years <vere also torn down in readiness
for the new awning that will
take the place of them. Various other
improvements have been made and
arc making to the building, both inside
and out, so that this corner will
certainly present a modern appearance
when the contractors are
through with It.
o
Hopes For Hydrick*
Washington.?Congressman Nicholas
stated that a meeting of the
South Carolina delegation in congress
would probaly be o&fied immediately
to agree upon a man front South Carolina
whose name will be presented to
the president for appointment to the
supreme court bench to succeed the
Justice Lamar. Mr. Nicholls is taking
a leading part in this matter here and
is quite anxious, if possible, that Justice
D. E. Hydrick should have the
place. He believes that unless Judge
C. A. Woods should claim the consideration
of some members of the delegation
there would be entire unity for
Justice Hydrick.
"I realize," Mr. Nicholls said, "that
whatever is done will have to he accomplished
without delay, and the
members of our delegation will probably
get together at once and try to
unite on one man, I hope on Justice
Hvdrick."

Washington.?The citizens along

very much exercised over the dismissal
of Railway Mail Clerk F. Harper
and the appointment of a negro named
G. M. Walke in his place. They
cannot understand how a thing of this
kind can happen with a Democratic
President and both houses of Congress
solidly Democratic.
Representative Godwin received a
petition from the folk down that w?*y
in which they denounced the action
of the Postoftice Department in no"
uncertain terms. The State district
congressman immediately called on
Postmaster General Rurleson, and was
tohi that it was not the department's
intention to keep the colored man on
the job. They hope to be able to transfer
him within a short time but did
not say when. Neither did they say
whether Harper would be put back in
to the service.
