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.
Tiie proclamation says the treaty
would "deliver German labor to formen
ranil :il ism for Iho iii'lurnitv ni'
wage slavery and permanently fettes
the young German republic." The
pioclamation closes with an appeal
to the German people to stand together
"knowing no parties" and to
"preserve with the government's
mutual trust in the path of duty in
the belief of the triumph of reason
and right."

TO STATE HOSPITAL.
J as. W. Edwards, a merchant of
Conway, was taken to Columbia to
the State Hospital last week for
1 treatmeent for a mental trouble. 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

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.

FINE TOBACCO CROP.
It is reported that Mr. T. J.i;
Vaught, one of the progressive farmers
of the eastern part of the
County, lias the finest tobacco crop
of that section. The plants were set
out and got an early start and are
now the size of dinner plates. Mr.
Vaught has eight acres planted m
tobacco this year. His crop is being

ERROR !S CORRECTED
In the last issue of the paper a
news item appealed naming The
State vs. (hit) in Elvis as being
charged with disorderly conduct for I
. hooting the monument in the graveyard.
It is not Mr. (latlin Elvis that
is involved in the ease but is Mr. R.
T Elvis and an entirely different i
person. The Herald published the j
news item from information received j
from one of the constables and no :
one knows how the mistake was
made; but the paper hastens to make
a correction in the matter.
HAS BEEN DISCHARGED.
W. M. Vaught, who served Uncle
| Sam in the Navy during the period
of war, passed through Conway last
Friday on his way home after having
been discharged. While many
of the boys went to France during
the war Mr. VaugTit's services did
not require him to go until after the
armistice was signed. After the
armistice was signed he was sent to
Fiance, then back to New York, and
he was discharged a few days ago.

nmning through the afternoons and
nights until the last engagement
1 which will begin at 8:110 on Saturday
I night, May 24th. 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.
The question \v 'l be asked by
many: N it a money making ? nterpris
1 ? 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,

The tickets are already being sold
and tho money taken in from the
- sales of tickets v ill be applied first
to the payment of the expenses.
> After all this lias been paid, if any

charity or educational purposes.
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
