GO TO STATE
S. S. CONVENTION
Meets in Florence June 3-4-5.
Be One of a Hundred.
The State Sunday School Convention
meets this year in Florence,
S. C., on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of
June. This is probably the greatest
opportunity the people of
Horry County has ever had to attend
a great Sunday School rally
where the very best thought on Sunday
School work is presented bv
some of the greatest educators and
Sunday School workers in the whole
country. An unusually largo numhei
of trained speakers have
been secured for this meet over in
Florence, and if you do not go, you
will miss a great treat, indeed.
Our slogan is: "An Automobile
Load of Workers from every Sunday
School to the State Convention."
And we hope and earnestly urge that
every Sunday School in Horry County
will arrange to send at least an
automobile load of delegates from
its community. This would perhaps
be the greatest single thing you
could do to stimulate Sunday School
work in your School . We are planning
and hoping to carry at least
one hundred delegates from Horry
Coynty and it will certainly be to
your advantage as well as to the
advantage of your Sunday School
and community for you to be one of
the hundred. Of course, if we can
carry more than a hundred, so much
the better. Everybody is invited
and would be royally entertained by
the hospitable Florentines.
At the last Coitnty Sunday School
Convention the writer was elected
President of the Horry County Sunday
School Association and in this
connection, he desires to urge upon
every one the necessity for cooperating
and pulling together, if we are
to "go over the top" in Sunday
School work and not only maintain
our nrosent standinc hut nphiovn n I
higher goal. The following officers
were also elected at the Convention:
Paul Quattlebaum, Vice President;
W. J. Jordan, Nixonville, S. C., President
of District No. 1; F. G. Holliday,
Galivants Ferry, S. C., President
of District No. 2; A. D. Jacks(/n,
of Nichols, President of District
No. 3; and M. C. Holmes, of Allen,
President of District No. 4; and the
following Division Superintendents:
Miss Laura Jenkins, Conway, Children's
Department; Miss Mitchell
Collins, Conway, Young Peoples Department;
and J. C. Spivey, Conway,
the Administration Department. A
list of these officers is given at this
time so that you may be fully informed
as to who your District President
is and. to whom you may apply,
get in touch with, for general
assistance in the work.
The following are a few facts
vorth remembering in connection
vith the approaching Convention at
Florence:
1. All Sunday School Workers in
/ited. No credentials necessary,
lust come.
2. Great array of talent secured
'or Convention. i
3. Registration fee of $1.00. Adnission
to all by badges.
4. Homes secured for all delegat-;
s at reasonable rates.
5. First session begins at 10
/clock Tuesday morning, June 3rd.
6. Trains will be met by Comnittee.
v 7. The feast is ready. Come.
Plan and continue to plan and go
;o Florence for this Convention.

CONWAY, S. P., THURSDAY
MAGISTRATE'S TRIAL
CHURCH DISTURBANCE
The Court of Magistrate Chestnut
last Friday tried the case of The
State vs. Cooper charged with disturbing
a religious congregation in
the Cedar Grove community. The
prosecution grew out of an incident
at the church near that place when
a son of H. L. B. Jordan is said to
have interferred with a son of
Cooper's; that the boy was standing
or sitting on the church steps when
Jordan went by and kicked him off.
O ? fi j_l i ii /.ii ? .?
r?uuu uiwr null uie iaiiior oi tne
boy went into the church and asked
the man why he had kicked the child,
and this it seems brought on the eorttioversy
which, it is said, disturbed
the meeting.
The case w * tried by a jury and
I the defendant was found guilty and
I paid the fine. He is considering the
taking out of a warrant for the other
party who first started the difficulty.
MANY ALIENS ARE
LEAVING COUNTRY
Washington.?A widespread exodus
of aliens from this country was
reported today by the department of
labor. Inquiries by the department's
investigation and inspection service
have revealed that already large
numbers of foreign-born residents
are leaving the country and that
even more expect to depart when
steamship accommodations and passports
can he obtained.
Unemployment and family interests
were said to be important factors
in stimulating the eastward
flow of the human tide which for
decades has set only westward.
Ethclbert Stewart, director of the investigation
service, said many aliens
reported they had not heard from
their families since Europe was
thrown into war. Another cause of
the emigration is the desire of some
aliens to participate in the settlement
of estates of relatives killed in
the war. f
There is also the desire of many
foreign-born to return to lands now
freed from German or Austrian domination.
COTTflNGROWERS
FORM NEW LEAGUE
New Orleans.?At a secret mcetling
here of cotton growers representing
400,000 acres of cotton producing
lands, the American Cotton
Glowers' League was organized designed
to combat what was alleged
to be "a strong influence brought to
bear by representatives of cotton
brokers and New England manufacturers
on the proceedings of the conference
assembled here to consider
the organization of a $100,000,000
exports corporation."
A committee was appointed composed
of A. Allen, Greenville, Ala.;
George W. E. Hasting, Mobile; Harvey
Swain, Atlanta; ' R. F. Work,
Houston, Texas, and Justin Fair,
Montgomery, Ala., empowered to
work out plans to meet the alleged
"ini mcncc."
Announcement that the growers
had organized was made to the Associated
Press by one of the members
of the committee who expressed
the belief that "the death knell of
the speculator in the cotton producing
world may have been sounded"
by the organization of the league.

I "SALVATION ARMY NEEDS NO
COMMENDATION PROM ME,"
SAYS PRESIDENT WILSON.
The following greatly cherished
message has bcon received, through
Colonel Barker, at the National Head
quarters by cable from our honored
President:
"I am very much interested to
know that The Salvation Army is
about to enter into a Campaign for
a sustaining fund. I feel that The
Salvation Army needs no commendation
from me. The love and gratitude
it has elicited from the troops
is sufficient evidence of the work it
has done, and I feel that I should
not so much commend it as congratulate
it.

wumuui^ uiki oiucuruiy yours,
"Woodrow Wilson."
The Campaign for a sustaining
[fund for the Salvation Army is on
in full blast, The returned soldier
says we must give them all they ask
and more. They are the best judges
or this cause so far as their war ac
tivities are concerned. There are
thousands of men and women who
have been lifted from the slough of
sin and vice into positions of honor
and service by the Salvation Army.
Theiy Motto: "A man may be
down but he's never out" has been

LADIES TO ATTEND SCHOOL.
Clemson College.?Dr. F. H. H.

Department, desires to call attention

are being made to provide
accomodations for ladies, and courser.

ladies are particularly interested. In

i . - * -
uaiiu^, u separate iioor ot the now
barracks will be set apart for married
couples. Another separate floor
will be provided for the accomodation
of unmarried ladies who wish to
attend Dr. Calhoun desires it to be
understood that ladies attending: are i
not required to take any of the j
courses unless they so desire, and
that married ladies who wish to attend
with their husbands are very
welcome to come just as an outing.
This is also true of unmarried ladies
who care to come without taking
courses.
Courses specially provided for la,<!ies,
or, which may be taken by the
ladies along with the men are as
follows:
1. The Junion Project Coinr.ee for
the teaching of agriculture in secondary
schools. This course will 'no
given by the Division of Agricultur-1
al Education to meet the needs of
teachers in the secondary schools, |
who find it desirable or necessary to,
be able to teachN classes in agriculture.
2. Courses in poultry raising, horticulture,
dairying, and in fact any
of the courses' offered to men are
open also to ladies.
The probable cost to ladies will be
$0.00 per week for those who do not
register to take any course of instruction,
or $7.00 per week for
those who do register. This will include
board, room, liirhts. and nil
cost except laundry.
The college is glad to offer this
opportunity to married and unmarried
ladies, and hopes to welcome a
large number at the Summer School

LIGHTNING'S AWFUL
WORK OF DEATH
When it Struck Mrs. Herbert
Anderson Near Gurley
Last Saturday
HOUSE DESTROYED AND

Largest Child Carried the
Younger Children to a
Neighbor's House.
On last Saturday afternoon lightning
struck Mrs. Nettie Anderson,
wife of Herbert Anderson, at their
home near Gurley, and Mrs. Anderson
was almost instantly killed. She
is survived by her husband and four
small children. The interment took
place at Lake Swamp Cemetery on
last Sunday afternoon.
No more awful prank of lightning
has been recorded in this County in
the memory of our oldest citizens.
She. was engaged about her household
duties and was on the porch of
the dwelling at the time. The largest
child saw her mother lying on
the porch and ran out to her and
then back in the house to get something
to cover her with, as she realized
her mother was dead. The
lightning had set the house on fire
and it was totally destroyed, togethei
with the household and kitchen
furniture, with exception of a few
articles. Mr. Herbert Anderson, the
husband, had been to Conway that
day and had gone back on the train
to the station and was waiting there
a few minutes for the cloud to go
over before going on to the house;
when he saw the flames which burn,?,1

saw the fire he went with help and
was in time to save Mrs. Anderson's

thought that all his children had
been burned up in the house and did"
not find out until later that they

Though prices of a few basic commodities
have fallen slightly these
declines have not yet been effected
in retail prices, says the review.
"What is now happening," it adds,
"seems to indicate that business will,
after a period of initial readjustment
in prices proceed up on a level
not far removed from that established
during the war."
