Five cars of government nitrate of soda arrived in Conway last week and the contents were distributed to the farmers of this section at the railroad yards last Thursday. By early hours last Thursday morning many wagons appeared in Conway driven in hystho farmers for taking out the sdrla. The work went on nearly all day until all of the cars were emptied. ?- -O . . . ILAND DEALS ARE MADE. One or two deals in land were closed here last week. M. (i. Anderson has sold his Brown place on the road to Myrtle Beach to Mr. and M"s A. I). Jones. The figures netted a good profit to Mr. Andersen. W. F. I)ro\v, an adjoining land owner and farmer has also sold his place It) Mr. Jones and those two farms will now be cut in together and will make a big farm of more than one hundred acres as soon as some small uncleared portions are brought in under cultivation. These lands arc located on the road to the beach. o_~ (iOOD ROADS VALUE. .An automobile might last in tins section about three years owing to the bad condition of the roads; while , in some sections of this country owing to the hard level roads an automobile lasts from six to ten years. This shows anybody the value of good roads, lake it is now in this section of the United States, only the wealthy can afford to own and run ar- automobile. Even a Ford cannot resist the hard usage and constant shaking up that it receives from day to <!ay over the roads of Horry County. If we had good roads then almost everybody could afford to keop a car, for they would have something that would last them and be of lasting benefit to them.

The automobile in which the whiskey was being hauled last Saturday night was seized by the offi-1 cers who made the arrest and at last I at counts was being held awaiting instructions from the district attorney's office. There seemed to be some doubt among the officers whether the case would be handled under State laws or undet* the Federal law. ? o BACK TO FIVE CENTS. Beginning last Saturday morning the price of Coca-Cola went back ';o five cents per glass at all of the fountains in Conway. Previous to that time the yricc had been eight cents and had stood at that figure foi several months. When the price went to eight cents some months ago, many patrons of i 1 ? .. - . i - i* - * mi- soeia loumains, especially from the country, quit using the soft drinks. The lowering of the price will no doubt bring back the trade as before. o RHODE ISLAND REDS.

The recent term of the criminal court was not held owing to the influenza situation. The board of health has already been requested by the bar here to pass on the question of holding this next term and it is hoped that they will act in time to prevent the labor of preparation if they decid-; that the court should not be held now. 8?E0?r?!J BE SHELLED BY HAND Alter the seed corn has been soluted from the productive stalks they stand in the field in competition with other surrounding stalks and stored in a dry place free from insects and rodents, the job is only half done. Shelling is one of the most important of tho tasks. The first step in shelling seed corn is to take the small kernels from th? tips of the ears, an 1 the round, thick kernels from the butts and discard them. Each ear should be shi lie separately into a shallow pan or box and every blemished, misshapen or worm eaten kernel should be rejected. o Systematic saving develops knowledge of practical economy. Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps point the way. o HONOR ROLL Of Evergreen Graded School for February 1919. 1 1st Grade?Sallie Mac Proctor, Reba Edwards, Of fie Cooper, Avis Burroughs. 1st Grade Advanced?Lawrence Woodlc, Bessie Cooper, Harmon Ed*IVIc* 2nd Grade?Eleanor Burroughs. 3rd Grade?Ethel Woodle, Get a Casque,- Leona Eason. 6th Grade?Clinton King, Myra Burroughs, Junior Eason, Julious Edwards. 7th Grade?Louise Eason, Edna Tucker, Nonie Roberts, Alma Tucker, Carey Cherry, Willie Cherry.

The conductor on the late passenger train into Conway last Monday night brought in, as a passenger, a girl child about eight years old. It was a waif from a cotton i'actorv lo. cated at Greer, S. C., which is in Greenville County. The child was delivered to the conductor of the Conway train from a connecting line. The child was tagged and on the tag was written the name "Irene EMiott" and addressed to Conway, s. C. There was nobody at the station lu re to meet her and the conductor d< livered her at the Grace Hotel where the manager, Mrs. Florence lledriek, took care of it until Tuesday morning when the authorities were notified. The Mayor of the town and l>r. H. H. burroughs interviewed the child at the hotel but I learned very little about the reasons why it was sot adrift in this manner One thing the child said was that its mother had told her to tell people hat its father had been killed in the European war; but that this was a nistake as its father had treated her v.nd its mother so badly that they had to leave.
