""Phe Herald has received for publi

PRnSPFRITYMINGS ;
> MATERIAL DEMAND'
j
i
The demand for lumber and brick
and other building materials has
never been greater in Horry County
, jf than it is at the present time and has
L been % for several months past. One
JLMiing perhaps is the lack of a larger
production in so far as materials out*ys?ide
of lumber arc concerned, and
* this may apply to some extent in the
lumber business, although, there has
"been a larger supply of lumber in
proportion than there has been of j
bricks, galvanized tin, raiment!
fd articles of hardware. -v! <
One other reason for the dtftnand
i& the rapidly' Tncrea'^Shg population
of Horry Comity into which there has '
moved nurilbdrs of' farmers from
more confJWWSfcW1 beet ions of Eastern |
South. Carina. There is a big demand
f*r houses in all of the towns
of Heira County and also a bigger
clemnau than ever before for tenant
houses on farms in the country. The
way to relieve the situation is to increase
productions by every means 1
possible and produce enough of these !
thing, to supply the rapidly growing \
demands of the people, |

LEWIS ESTATE SALE I
WILL DRAW CROWD
The readers of the Herald will find 1
in this issue of the paper a large advertisement
signed by the Cleik of
the Court advertising for sale on the
first Monday in January a large r.um
ber of town lots in Conway as well as
numerous tracts in the country most
of these having belonged to the
Lewis estate, And which are being i
sold under Order of the Court. The l
Administrators, or heirs at law, had j
a sale of a portion of the estate land <
on the. .first Monday in December, j
therproceeds running beyond $90,000. y
It was believed that -the proceeds of 1
.the sale for the first Monday in Jan- <
uary will run equally as well. .Besid-.t
es the Lewis estate, lands many other ]
tracts are. advertised under Orders of ]
the Court in foreclosures and, parti- j

" ' I
Department Confronted by In- 1
creasingly Dangerous t
"Red" Activity !
Washington.?Thf Department of
Justice is cohfronted with -Mncreas- .
ingly dangerous radical activity," AU {
torney General Palmer said in his \
annual report submitted in Congress. ,
" Mr. Palmer did ndt go into details
as to "red" activities in genreal, but j
said that of the total of 365,295 index ]
record cards, 71,000 Bertillon records (
and 202,712 finger print records now {
ir the department some 60,000 rep- r
resented data concerning "rods" awl j
their work. He mentioned that the de- j
partment had increased steadily its i
contributory sources of investigation, .(
adding that this meant better facilities ^
for running down persons whose v
lives bore marks of crime.
Mr. Palmer said that while our gov (;
emment agencies during the past
year were rounding out their labors (
incident to the war, the department
found itself only half way through its ^
scores of investigation and litigated
questions. Countless hundreds of ^
claims growing out of the war have
been made against the government he ^
said, and must be fought through the g
owvt? ui. vaoco Hi Wllltll HIV (JUVCIUment
seeks to recover funds paid out
through error or fraud provide an- R
!)ther sources of supply for litigation. ^
Alleged infringement of parent
rights by the government in its manufacture
of war materials as well as
similar claims arising from private
manufacture of war supplies on the
:ost plus arrangemeent, also puts
litigation on shoulders of the depart- ^
ment's staff. n
The department policy of resuming j(
prosecution of trusts has restored to
activity other investigations and q
:rime proving machinery, the At- jj
tomcy General added. ^
In addition to these, Mr. Palmer '
iaid, the department will be bur- ^
iened for months to come with its p
prosecution of violators of the
sedition and selective service arts. ?
Under the latter, the number of cases pi
runs high, he said. Department jr
agents are engaged now in gathering p
all necessary data through records pi
>f local draft boards which have 01
jeen assembled in Wasihington and j ty
prosecution of the cases will proceed

Loopholes in Statute* a
i'?\Jy * 1,1
^Investigations and trial arguments \\
luring the year have shown loopholes (\.
n many statutes, Mr. Palmer said, "j
He called attention to the fact that, r<
jndfer existing law, it is not a crime to C\
send threatening letters through the
nails unless in furtherance of a c]
scheme to defraud or as a means of <
extortion. Pointing out that letters al
threatening personal injury or de- h
?ruction of property may be sent 0;
with impunity, he urged revision of C]
the law to covet such cases. ,|i
