/ Call
Is for Much Earlier Date
Than the Leaders Had

Expected.
j ?
Washington.?President Wilson issued
a call by cable for a special session
of Congress to meet Monday,
May 11).
Secretary Tumulty in making the
announcement said it would be impossible
for the President to be here
on the opening day. The date fixed
for the special session was much earlier
than Democratic leaders had expected.
White House officials said that in
naming an early date for the session,
President Wilson was guided
iaigely by the advice of Secretary
Glass as to the necessity of pasring
annual appropriation measures which
failed in the closing days of the last
session.
President Wilson's proclamation
11: x \ * -
lulling cne oxT,ra session follows:
"Whereas public interests require
that the Congress of the United
States should be convened in extra
session at 12 o'clock noon, on the
ll>th day of May, 1919, to receive
. such communication as may be made
by the Executive.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States
of America, do hereby proclaim and
. declare that an extraordinary occasion
requires the Congress of the
United States to convene in extra
session at the capitol in the District
of Columbia on the 19th day of May,
3919, at 12 o'clock noon, of which all
jx rson . who shall at that time be
entitled to act as members thereof
are hereby required to take notice.
"Given under my hand and t^e
fcoul of the United States of America,
the 7th day of May, in the year
bf Our Lord one thousand, nine hundred
and nineteen, of the Independence
of the United States, the one
hundred and forty-third.
(Signed)* "Woodrow Wilson.
"By the President: Robert Lansing,
Secretary of State."
ThyrW' was no infromation at the
Vhiflp.Housc either as to the probable
time of the return of the President
from France or the submission
of the peace treaty to the Senate, but
some administrative leaders believed
the President 1u?a called the extra
session earlier than had been anticipated
in order that Congress might
perfect its organization and dispose
of the more important. appropriation
measures before the treaty was
ready for consideration.
t (Republicans of the House virtually
have Completed their organization,
but the Senate has done no organisation
work and this probably will
1 occupy its attentibn for the first
week or more of the special session.
The JJousc, however, can be considcrin^vhe
appropriation measures in
J.he meantime. The supply bills that
Tailed in the last Congress will be introduced
a'jr, but the Secretary of
the Treasury has decided it will not
be necessary for the government de- I
partments to submit new estimates.
o
Government trucks.
^ Two hundred and ninety-six motor
trucks, valued at almost $1,000,000,
hove been allotted to South Carolina
bv the war department at Washington,
according to an announcemonl
made Tuesday by J. Roy Penno!,
chief engineer of the state highway
, department, who has just return<tjjpTrom
Washington, where he
secured the allotment. These trucks
are given to the state highway department,
for use in counties building
roads with federal aid.. One
steam shovel will also be secured, it
is believed.

D8NVENTI0N FOR
RECONSTRUCTION
To Be Held at Methodist Church
May 15-16?Good Speakers
and Music.
Now that the war is over, "What
can we do to make our communities
better places to live in," is the question
on our minds. What can be |
done in the way of better health,
better schools, better roads, better
economic conditions, better social
life, and better community morality?
These are some of the questions we
need to discuss. Camp life has
taught us many lessons. Our boys
who have been in the army have
learned much of value. How can
these things be made to serve for
community betterment ?
That we may study such questions
as the above and make practical
plans for better community life we
have arranged a Convention to be
held at Methodist church this week.
Several local men will discuss different
phases of the question among
whom will be Dr. H. H. Burroughs,
Mr. E. S. C. Baker, Prof. B D. Alexander,
Rev. D. L. Hill, Paul Quattlcbaum,
Col. H. L. Buck, anil others.
We have also secured the seiwices of
three men from outside who will
take a prominent part in the program.
Mr. W. E. Moore, a song
leader who has for many months
been doing service with the Army,
will have charge of the music. We
can count on rousing good singing.
Songs used by the boys in the
trenches will be popular with the
Convention. Rev. Samuel Holden.
the new Y. M. C. A. Secretary for
this district conies to us fresh from
the artjjy and we can look for good
things from him. Then to crown it
all we are to have the rare privilege
of having- with us Dr. VV. T. Laprade,
a man who is a deep thinker, and an
educator of note. Dr. Laprade is a
very strong man and has the nappy
facility of being able to impart
knowledge in a clear but interesting
manner. He also has the art of
making you think for yourself. Dur- I
ing the war Dr. Laprade helped to
train thousands of men at the Blue
Ridge School for work as Army Y.
M C. A. Secretaries. T had the privilege
not long ago to hear him lecture
every day for a week, and 1 can
testify to the fact that anyone who
fails to hear his lectures will miss a,
treat.
lhq first session of the convention
a i11 be lield tit Methodist church beginning
at o t/'-lock Thursday night.
Jr. Laprade will be the principal
speaker this evening. The Convonion
will meet again at JL.'Jb Friday

New Law

The Children of the County
\
Must be Sent to School as
Required by This Law.
The board last Tuesday appointed
the attendance officers for Horry
County under the new school regulations
passed at the recent session
of the Legislature. They are Messrs.
John Holt and M. C. Holmes. One of
these officers will have the Eastern
portion of the county i 11 charge and
the other will have the Western.
Tluse attendance officers will begin
tneir duties on .limn let 1010
v-. v AUV) n/i?/j aim
on July 1st will start tho taking of
the census of all school children between
the ages of six and fourteen
years. This woik of taking the census
will he finished up in July and
A. u gust 1919.
The last session of the General
Assembly passed a State-wide compulsory
school attendance law and
appropriated $00,000.00 for its enforcement
. This is to pay the salary
o: a truant officer for each county.
The State Board of Education has
decided to give nine of the counties
two truant officers each. Horry is
one of these but it will be no easier
for two to do the work i~ Horry
County than for one to do it in soma
of the smaller counties .
Each officer is to receive $100.00
per month or $1/200.00 per year. Fie
i-< to give his whole time to the ^vork
and it will be necessary for him to
have an automobile. There is no allowance
for traveling expenses.
The truant officers will be required
to take a census of all the children
in the county both white and
negro, between the ages of six and
I r
j louriccn during tho months of July
|and August each year. Ho is to furnish
each teacher with a list of the
pupils in her district. Each teacher
is required to rcp?Vt every absence
at once to the truant officer who
must investigate the absence an(t
prosecute UiO parent unless ho finds
the said absence was caused by pro-*
?
vidential reasons. i
The county will he divided by the
County Board of Education into two
(2) parts, the line passing thru Conway.
There will be much office work
and it will be necessary for each
truant officer to keep regular office
days in the office of the County Superintendent
of Education. A. report
of each absence whether excused
or prosecuted must be mdac to
the County Board of Education.
The new law requires that every
child between eight, and fourteen
years of age shall attend school for
four rnnsrfiViwn ?
ui\/iiut?, or cignty
[lays during the scholastic year, that
the school attended is in session.
The Herald will publish in its next
issue the new law in full. Look for
it.
The County Board had about
twenty-five applications for attendance
officers, a majority of whom
were very good men. The Board regretted
very much their inability to
give each good applicant a place.
