The sixth and seventh of September will be Gala days for Horry County so fur as War Saving Stamp sales are concerned, for on these two days the U. S. Marine band cf Charleston and an able corps ol iii ||Cai\L*L rt Will IUUI LCI uui II DUtlJUIlD *?* tho county in the interest of the sale of War Saving Stamps. Notice of this arrangement appeared through these columns last ^ ^week, bi since then fuller particulars have ? >en learned. This U. S. Marine band, composed of 28 pieces, is one of the best aggregations of music in the country. They will appear at Marion on Friday morning September 6th and will leave there for this county at 1 o'clock of that day and will hold their first meeting at Aynor at 2 o'clock P. M. From Aynor they wiLl be driven to Horry or Cooks Siding where there will be a musical entertainment and speaking at 5 o'clock P. M., and the same enter* tainers will be at Conway that night at 9 o'clock P. M. to both whites and blacks. On the day following, Saturday Sept. 7th, there will be a big 1 meeting at the Court house at 10f30 o'clock in the morning and the same entertainment will be given at Loris at 2:'fo that afteroon. This county is particularly fortunate in securing the presence of this excellent corps of entertainers. In irtri r\ tho ovoollont mnaio u'hi'oh I will bo furnished, several speakers will be along, including Hon. R. G. Knott of Charleston and Mr. J. M. Lynch of Florence who is already well known in Horry County. This itinerary through Horry is one of a series being held throughout the 1*00 Dee section in the interest of the sale of War Saving Stamps. Horry County is doing her share beautifully at this time, but just now it is felt that a greater enthusiasm need be aroused and the aj^irance of the band and speakers ~ in^Dbrry will be tho beginning of a ^ spmted drive to put Horry "Over the top" in its War Saving allotment. All of the citizens of the county, regardless of color or condition, are invited to be present at these meet(ifegs, and it is highly important that everybody be on hand promptly for the reason that so "many meetings xhave been crowded into two days that it will be necessary for the speakers and the band to close their meetings at definite hours in order to make the next point in their schedule. / Lets make those two days rod letr tor days in the War Savings Stamp drive. Everybody who has an Am1 erican flag, and all of us should have one, should bring it to the meetings and come with a determination to make the occasion as thoroughly demonstrative of American patriotism as possible. While these meetings which have been arranged for Horry County . cost time on the part of tho enterr tainers and money for their stay in the county, yet at the same time it is costing the public nothing nor will their expenses come out of Horry County's quota of stamp sales nor out of the Government, but has been contributed by patriotic citizens who 7 love their country, believe in it, and r are willing to do anything to help eni courage the county to do its part in the winning of the war. As there ( are 28 people in the band outside of 1 the speakers, it will be nercssary for ( this county to bring the party from 1 Marion and therefore it will be ne- i i ' V * ?c I v: ' Or G UWOFFII PRECINCTS: J . tonwuy Homewood Wampco Jordanville Port Harrelson Adrian Myrtle Beach Dogwood Gurley Loris Vardelle Galivants Ferry Horry.. .

C. Hooks, W. L. Mishoe and W. W. Russ all three received a majority of the votes cast while only two could be elected. According to the opinion of leading politicians. W. L. Mishoe and W. W. Russ, the two receiving the largest' majorities will be declared elected, while Messrs. Hooks and Booth will be defeated, unless two of the highest | should happen to tie.

Allied Arms. Over the fifty-mile battle front, from the region of Arras . to the north of Soissons, the German armies are meeting with defeats which apparently spell disaster. Everywhere the British and French forces have continued the attack, the enemy has been sanguinarily worsted, and the end of his trials is not. i'Qt in sight. To the British over the thirty miles of the fighting zone, from the Cojeul river, southwest of Arras to Lihons, south of the Somme, numerous towns have fallen and the enemy territory has been penetrated to a lepth of several miles. Where the French are fighting between the Matz river and the territory north of Soissons, additional goodly gains lave been made in the envelopment of Noyon and the general manoeuvre vhich seeks to crush or drive out ;he Germans from the salient be;wcen the Somme and the Aillette ind to put into jeopardy the entire 'ierman line running to Rheims. Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans brought up large numbers >1' fresh reinforcements in an enleavor to stay the progress of Haig's I irmies, their efforts were without ivail. Where they were able monentarily to hold back their oncomng foes the Germans finally were orced to cede the grouml demanded, tnd they paid a terrible price in men illed, wounded or made prisoners or their temerity. o ON WAY MARKET DOES WELL. The Conway Tobacco Market by he time it finally closes will have old three and nnn-hnlf V..W Ill 111 IV'II 1 ounds of Horry raised leaf. In view f the fact that there was no organiution here instituted for the purose of bringing all of the tobacco ossible to this market shows that onway is capable of great possiilities if the business men will oranize and work together to that ad. One of the greatest markets >r tobacco in the whole country can j e created at Conway. I # nTTT CONWAY MARKET AT GREAT DISADVANTAGE i Having Advertised to Close ! While Others Said They Were Open SHOULD WORK TOGETHER FOR GREATER MARKET Conditions Right for Building Biggest of Markets Right at Conway. The foui warehouses at Conway advertised week before last that the Conway Market would close on last Friday, the 23rd day of August. As the date for closing approached nearer and nearer it became more and more apparent that there was plenty of unsold tobacco in this territory, which the farmers had not had time to bring to market, and in the opinion of many, the market should be advertised to remain open at least a week or ten days later than August 23rd. \ Warehouse men stated last Friday that the Warehouses could not be closed owing to the fact that tobacco was still coming in and that the Warehouses, some of them if not all, would remain open for sales until probably tomorrow, August 30th, v?\ It was then that everybody realized that the Warehouse men in ConNvay had made a great mistake, for while the Conway Market was advec*. tising its closing date, Aynor and Mullins were advertising in this paper and at about the same time, that their Warehouses would be open as ? long as any tobacco came in for saleThe Conway Market advertised its closing on August 23rd, and this advertising was read hv _ .iMMUl vu Ui i farmers, who would not bo able ta I find out that the Warehouse men had decided to keep open a while longer, and after which, it is quite certain that their tobacco would find its way to Aynor or to some other market. It was not the right course to take in regard to the Conway Market because it is well known that one of ihe best Markets anywhere can be created at Conway, and it is to the interest of not only the owners of the Warehouses, but of all the business men of Conway to work to that end in every way. o The South Carolina State Hog Breeders' Association was organized in Columbia last week with a membership of approximately 40 breeders. appoTntmentsTor registration roaro The Supervisors of Registration will be at the following places on dates mentioned for the purpose of issuing Registration Certificates to those who have not registered since July 1, 1918.
