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

MISHOE AND RUSS
LEAD FOR HOUSE
i
I
Referring to the table showing the
unofficial count of votes east in the
county for the office of represent'!- )
tive, the only contest there was ?n !
the primary of Tuesday Aug. 27th,
it will be seen that W. 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. ' ' \ '<
There was no opposition for the |
other county offices. <

GERMAN ARMIES
FACING DISASTER
From Arras to Soissons Teutons
Utterly Defeated by
. 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.

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.
