The most interesting question that is in the minds of many persons right now is when the boys from South Carolina are coming home. Rehabilitation plans of the war department have not progressed to the extent yet where it may be said with accuracy when these brave Southern boys will j be at home, but it will not be far off. Enough has already been learned to make it certain that those at homo will not be kept in suspense much longer regarding this interesting and important matter. It must be remembered that at th's time the officials of the war department and the president himself, are working day and night to bring the boys home but there are many problems of an int< rnaiional character which mu>t bo settled before this car(i he done. o PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS. fri>p T oral Exomnt'o" Heard ol Horry County had a telegram last * * Sunday from Columbia calling off all physical examinations for Military Service.

M'COY RETURNED TO CHARGE Resolutions Passed at Quarterly Conference Requesting Services Another-Year. V * The following resolutions were Adopted at the Fourth Quarterly Conference of the Conway Metholist Episcopal church, South, Nov. 15th, 1918: WHEREAS, Rev. E. L. McCoy, Pastor of Conway Methodist church, South, has practically completed the juadrenium allowed the rules of th3 :hureh heretofore obtaining. WHEREAS, under his pastorate he charge has prospered greatly, the membership has been built up, and the church an a live and forceful agency for good, has been greatly strengthened. w tt AS, Brother McCoy, by his walk anil work union# us, has endeared himself, not only to those of hi?; cv. 11 flock, but also to all people of our town, #and, further by his activity in Church matters and patriotic endeavors has impressed him: elf on the people of the County as a great spiritual leader and efficient worker in all that pertains to our common good. WHREAS, at the last General Conference of our Church, provision was made for an extension of pas to rates beyond the usual four year teim, where there is an apparent necessity for the return of a pastor to a charge, and in our judgment, conditions here warrant the application of this rule. RESOLVED 1st, that the church through its official members in Quar terly Conference assembled, hereby testifies to its love for, and admiration of Brother McCoy, and desires to enter 011 its official record, this testimonial of its nnmwiMtiftn r?r nio work among us, Ms splendid ability as a preacher, his high standing as a (citizen, and his noble Christian character. The people's appreciation ot him is the highest evidence of his I work. RESOLVED 2nd, that in ou; judgment, the Church and community view Brother McCoy, not only as a pastor, but as a leaning citizen in all things retaining to the common weal, and our denomination especially needs him to carry on his work throughout the County, and to as sist in the upbuilding of our country churches. The country people know and love him?he has their entire confidence. He is diplomatic in the handling of church matters, without compromising on questions of right and wrong. This section i,s missionary territory, and the situation indicates a man of the qualities of Brother McCoy for continued leadership among us. RESOLVED further, that the Presiding Elder of the Marion District be requested to use his best endeav ors to impress upon tile Bishop ami hi ; Cabinet, the advisability of the return of Brother McCoy to this charge for another year, not merely to gratify our personal pride on having* a splendid preacher, but because we candidly think he is especially suited to the need of our church, community and county, at this time, and because we believe his continued pastoiate would bo a blessing to the church and this entire section.
