4 VOLUME XXX. ' I a v tic m'0 nnuuciiTinid 4 LHimtno uuniuinun MISSIONARY CAMPAIGN Will be Held in Columbia, South Carolina February \ 6th to 9th. PURPOSE THREE-FOLD IN GREAT MOVEMENT Provisional Program to be Published and Distributed Later. ? i * 1 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.

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. o 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. #orr >RRY COUNTY ANDHGK PEOPLE, NWAY, S. 0., THURSDAY, JA] THE TOO E , ft if Ik' . /j<5i "' ' ' 1 .J# v * 4 j. -J ' >' . <\.r 4 ' -.

SHOES PROBABLY SOAR SKYWARD New York.?The increase in the price of materials for the manufacture of boots and shoos is described as alarming by members of the National Hoot and Shoe Manufacturers association in their annual convention here. A. S. Kreider, president, said that the time has arrived when the prices of all materials have reached such heights that the maintenance of present prices for shoes must bo abandon-1 i cd. I 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."

I 1 X NO 40 COLORED CLERK NOT TO REMAIN ON JOB Citizens Along Elrod and Conway Branch Register a Strong Protest OBJECT TO NEGRO IN WHITE MAN'S PLACE Denounce the Action of Postoffiee Department in Putting Harner Out Washington.?The citizens along the line of the Flrod and Conway branch of the Atlantic Coast Line are 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.
