THE HORRY HERALD, COW LAST DAY OF DRIVE PUTS BIG LOAN OVER Washington.?The fifth and last popular war loan of the United States has been oversubscribed. Although the approximate total subscription will not be known for nearly two weeks, figures available showed that the American people had responded generously to the apical to "finish the job." Like all of its predecessors, the Victory Liberty Loan suddenly jump 21 on the last day of the campaign above the mark set as its limit. The day brought an avalanche of subscriptions which banks could not attempt to count until next week. None of today's harvest was included in the total of $3,849,638,000 subscriptions officially tabulated by the treasury and officials would not be surprised to see the final figures to go nearly $6,000,000,000. Only $4,500,000,000 will be accepted. CALLS ON NATION TO RESIST TERMS Berlin.?Germany's reply to the teims of peace presented at Versailles on Wednesday will be a proposal "for a peace of right on the basis of a lasting peace of the nations," according to a proclamation to the German people issued here by President Kbcrt.

He has been in bad health for more than x year and suffered a stroke of paralysis some time ago. (Recently his mind became affected. He is nearly seventy years of i age, ? ? STRAWBERRY SITUATION. The strawberry industry at Conway has dwindled down from dozens of growers a few years ago to three or four now. W. E. Smith is still 1 growing them, also M. Connor, but the latter has shipped only a few crates. Two Bratleys, colored farmers, have also been shipping from Conway. There is no such thing as shipping a car load of strawberries from Conway now. The highest num her of crates shipped from Conway up to a few days ago, was about eiirhtv crates in one da.v. That num bei was not anything like the average at the very beginning of the season a few years ago. The farmers here should not let anything go down like this. Conway gained a reputation on the markets for fine firm fruits, and instead of foiling off the production should have increased. o Country hams for Sale? Bring a sample to Hotel Grace.

The reading nojticcs found in different columns of i this paper will give the readers of the Hmald a good idn of what this Chautauqua will bring and an understanding of the purposes behind it. A J reading of those articles will show* I that it is for instruction, advancement and progro^. a- well as for ih st class ontortaiinv out.

Tno purpose of this article is to publish the nar.t . of those who .,ot the Chautauqua to ome and who have guaranteed the payment of the iKce. savy cost and expenses of the talented people who are engaged end wid work in it. The following citizens of Conway signed the Contract which will make them responiblc for all the cost oven if not a : ingle ticket is sold: E. J. Sherwood, Dr. C. Hedlcv, Col. D. A. Spivcy, H. H.

There is not one cent of profit to be made by those who have agreed to guarantee the cost and thereby have made themselves liable for tho entire enterprise. The benefit to the town J and to the county in general is profit j these men are looking for and they j rightfully expect every citizen to , help them out in the matter by comj ing to the Chautauqua. That the | public already understands and will | aid in making the Chautauqua a suc; cess is proved by the way the tickets are soiling. o RURAL CARRIER EXAMINATION , The United States Civil Service Commission has announced an examination for the County of Horry, S.
