FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
REQUIRES SHERIFF'S TIME
^Delegation Should Provide For
*
a Good Deputy and His
Pay.
Sheriff James A. Lewis has found
a hard tame by reason of the great
increase of work in his office develop
ing during the last few years; and
owing to the fact that the federal
authorities expect him to co-opcrato
with them in the running down tigers.
When they use him to assist them it
not ony means that he is away from
his office while assisting in hunting
the distillers, but this year he has
been summoned as a witness in the
District Court in Columbia, where he
had to spend a week, and last week
was called to Charleston as a witness
in a whiskey matter, whereby he lost
several days from his work.
This is called to the attention of the
Horry Delegation in the General Assembly
with the hope that some
change will be made in the law as it
Telates to this County office so as to
provide the means of employing a
Deputy who could be used in the
:JL Sheriff's place either in doing work
! jm in the country or attending to the
office duties while the Sheriff is
away. As it is now, the pay is not
* sufficient for the work that the
Sheriff has to do. let alone the extra
money that will be needed to pay a
Deputy.

" Washington. December 10. 1919
"Ghesloy F. Best,
"Cialivants Ferry, S. C.
"Dear Sir:
''The tabulation of the card report'
show telegraph summary to be correct.

counting round as half bales,
ginned in Horry County, from the
crop of 1919 prior to December i
1919, as compared with 6,260 bales
ginnod to December 1, 1918.
"You will please furnish these
totals to all newspapers in your district,

in favor of any of them.

CAUSES SOME CONFUSION.
The taking off the night train into
Conway, and the outgoing early train
of mornings, at Conway last week
caused some inconvenience to travellei's.
There were some who had not
been informed of the change until
after it had been put into effect and
this was the main cause of the confusion.

(The
LAND PRICES HIGH F
WILL HOLD AVERAGE
Land deals continue to be made p
with more than ordinary frequency in
this section of the State. Real estate
trades are made almost every day in
one section or another of the County.
The general public thinks that the
price of land is inflated in line with
other things that are sold. Some people
own land that they want to get R
rid of and thevy think they had better c
sell now while prices are hijrh, as
they suppose that a slump in prices j
may come some time in the future.
Those who have given careful c
study to the situation agree that the ?
price of land may go down temporarily
this year or next, they do not
know when; but no one believes that ^
the price will go down to stay any ^
great length of time, but on the oth-! ^
er hand it is certain that when taken
as an average for say at least five or ^
ten years, the price of city lots and
country farms will remain at practically
what they are now. There
are no more lands being made while j
population steadily increases.
VOICESFROM WITHIN
ENEMIES OF GERMANY:
Berlin. ? Independent Socialists,
Communists, and the Freiheit arc <
iointly responsible for the present en- '
tcnte severity and particularly the
prohibition of citizen guards, says
the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, in an
article attacking the Spartacists.
The newspaper declares that the
Frciheit, seeking disarmament in order
to execute more freely planned I
uprisings which have become almost
a forlorn hope, has pretended Germany
is creating an army of a million
men.
"The reports of this army," the
Tages Zeitung continues, "have been
* u.. rr> 1
i ] uutcu rtvj uAiiau^iivuiy uy
journalists that certain English anil
\merican agencies have carried this
idiculous patter of the F rehoit,
which is more inimical to Germany
^han any foreign organ."
It is maintained by the Tages Zeitung
in addition to this source of misnformation,
there exists a scheme
whereby the independent Socialists
regularly go to Switzerland and send
to France and other countries reports
of the alleged revival of militarism !
in Germany.

HUNTING PARTY.
There was a hunting party from
this point last Tuesday morning con- ,
sisting of Senator Hal L. Buck, E. J.
Sherwood, J. W. Taylor and George
L. Marsh. It was a cold morning and
the right kind for sport.
FORMER CITIZEN RETURNS.

County, recently returned to this sec- '>
tion after spending a number of '
years in business in another State. ?
He purchased a farm near Conway, 1
but recently sold that at a good profit,
and is now looking for another J
location. 1
He may locate here and start a <
business as he once ran before. He <
is the eldest son of the late James J. 1
Cook, of Bucks township. 1

MAKES FINE CORN. 1
The experience and practic% of tlu }
fanner is of value to other farmers of !
the County, and the Herald will here 1
publish the results obtained by AO*. J. 1
H. Cook in the use of oats and rye i\ < 1
a cover crop on corn land.
In December and January 19J9 '<
Mr. Cook sowed the oats and rve on t
the land where he expected to plant J
com. He planted this com on the \
land in March, 1919, leaving the cover 1
crops so that he could turn the !
growth under the first and second 1
week in June, 1910, plowing these up i
to the com, after it had started to \
grow. In addition to this he used 200 1
pounds of 9-3-0 per acre to the corn t
and the land produced from 20 to 25 1
bushels of com per acre. Considering
the quality of the land that Mr. Cook 1
used, this was a successful result, and (
I ii was brought about by use of the
cover crops which acted as a fertilizer,
and furnished humus in the soil 1
the pvo*v*?* time for the com.

CONWAY, S. P., THURSDAY,
EACE-TIME ARMY |
OF 300,000 TROOPS
roposed by House Military
Sub-Committee in
Bill.
Washington.?A peace-time regular
rmy of 300,000 men and 18,000 offiers
was decided on by the House
nilitary sub-committee headed by
tepresentative Anthony, Itepublian,
Kansas, in fanning the army reuganization
bill. The number of com
>at troops was fixed at 250.000.
The committee proposal for the
>ew army would provide a large force
han possible under the regional deenre
act of 1916, the army organizaion
law in force before the war which
approximately fixed the personnel at
50.000 capable of expansion to 235,)00.
Bcesides the increased size of the
irmy, the committee also agreed not
a. specify the army organization as
,o the number of infantry, cavalry
ind artillery regiments and other
jnits, but to leave this to the discretion
of the President. This also is
* departure from the 1916 act, which
specified the division of forces.

for a new Ford for some years to
come since he's kinda got acquainted
with the old one.

MEXICANS DRIVE
AMERICANS OUT
Regard Diplomatic Protests as
Perfunctory,?Story of i
Buckley.
I
Washington.?Further testimony
taken by the Fall committee investigating
Mexican affairs, made public,
pictu res the Carranza government as
regarding all diplomatic protests of
the American government as perfunctory,
and accredits to officials of the
Mexican government a policy of driving
Americans out of the country.
The committee made public the testimony
of W. F. Buckley, an American
lawyer long resident in Tampico
and one of the well known men of
the American colony in Mexico.
"Louis Cabrera (minister of finance)
told me very frankly." testified
Buckley, "that the menace of the
American in Mexico must be removed
and that the only way to do this was
to drive him out of the country and
take his property."
"He explained to me," the witness
continued, "that Mr. Wilson was what
he was pleased to term 'an advanced
liberal, a great democrat,' whose concern
was for the welfare of the people
of the world and was not limited
to the narrow bounds of the United
States."
'?He said," continued Buckley, "Mr.
Wtfson was opposed to capital in Mex
ico and everywhere else no matter to
whom the capital belonged, and that
in expelling the American from Mexico
the constitutionalists would receive
the sympathy of the American
government."

local preacher and often filled the n
pulpits of other ministers with abil- r
ity.
MINERS'sfRnTEENDS :
ON WILSON'S TERMS<
Indianapolis.?The coal miners' s
strike is ended. f
With but one dissenting vote the (
gem ral committee of the United Mine a
Workers of America in session here v
voted to accept President Wilson's j
proposal for immediate return to (i
work pending final settlement of r
their wage controversy with opera- j
'ors by a commission to be appointed c
by him. ^
Telegrams were sent out to the
four thousand locals of the union bv ]s
hiternational officials of the mine a
v orkers instmeting the men to re- j
tuni to work immediately. Full in- |.
tructions with regard to the agree- j
ment will be sent out.
Operators predicted full resumption
ol operations, and shipment of coal
to begin immediately. n
Miners, operators and government a
officials alike were highly gratified , X]
over the settlement and all sides ap- j a
poared confident of a final satisfactory
settlement of the. fight by the t,<
commission. n

GOAL RATIONING 5
THING OF PAST:
j
Orders have been received in Co-1(
lumbia by V. S. Collins, local fuel di- n
rector, from the Southern reg:onal j
coal committee announcing the complete
restoration of hours of opera- j
tion and business of industries, stor- j
es, office buildings imposed by fuel 01
conservation regulations announced J
November 24. These regulations have J ^
been suspended until further notice p
permitting the supplying of coai p
TV??n1v the first five crouns of the
coal administration's preference list ^
and except under light restrict :cns to'Ci
classes six and seven. The telegram tl
announces the prompt delivery in ac- p
cordance with the original billings of ! ni
all coal on wheels which may be load|n,
ed at the mines consigned to con-:
sumers in the first five classes and !
the early movement and delivery of!
coal to consumers in the sixth and j

Chicago.?Partial relaxation of the
gid restrictions on use of fuel, optiistic
reports regarding resumption
production in virtually all
elds and substantial restoration of
tssengor train service in many secons
brought to the public the greatit
measure of relief since the coal
tuation became acute. At some
lines workers still expressed dissatfaction
with the terms of President
nlson's proposal which led to ending
10 strike officially and central Pennsylvania
operators also were dis
leased, but officials regarded indiiitions
as pointing toward a return
t nearly normal production early
ext week.
At many mines Saturday's general/
have been regarded as at least part
olidays and at some it was said
uperstition about the 13th of the
lonth would cause miners to delaye-entering
the mines until Monday.
Sub-Zero Weather.
Continuation of the severe weather
?f the last few weeks in the Pacific
lorthwest and a return of sub-zero
emperature in the Plains Slates and
Central and Southwest with a spread
astward added to the discomfort rculting
from depleted coal stores and
uel restrictions. In Washington and
)rcgon record cold weather prevailed
nd below zero temperatures were
eported from Utah, Nebraska, Monana,
Wyoming, the Dakotas, Coloralo,
Iowa and Minnesota. Strong
lorth winds swept into the southwest
ringing a cold wave that was expect
d to send thermometers to ten decrees
below zero.
In the Plains States. West and
Corthwest, snow interfered with wire
nd rail communicttion. Transconincntal
trains were 10 to 12 hours
Lite because of Wyoming blizzards,
n South Dakota and no thorn Neraska
a similar sitution prevailed.
Dissension Greatest.
Dissension from the strike settlelent
seemed to be greatest in Ohio
nd Illinois. Several thousand mineis
i Ohio ^oted to remain on strike and
number of locals in Illinois main
ained their expressed determination
o remain away from the mines until
lore than the agreed 14 per cent inrease
was forthcoming. Union leadrs
in both states, however, were ?pimistic
regarding an early return
ork by the disgruntled men.

BROKEN BLOSSOMS.
The Pastime Theater has secured
ne of the finest pictures that ever
ppeared in this section of the coun y,
to be shown at the theater on
hristmas day, 1019. Owing to the
reat skill of the actors and actress;
use<l in the production of this picire,
press notices say that no one
in Mihpecl anything fiuin
ie reality from the beginning of the
icture until the end. There will ho :i
latinee at the Theater on the afteroon
of Christmas Day, and the picwire

SNOW W AS EXPECTED.
Many people looked for snow last
eek during the cloudy days when
ark clouds came over the sky and
ne weather was very cold. Though
icre wero many predictions they aN
fiilod of coming true at that time.
