CMd Uncle Bob McCracketi, the subject of this article, was born in J 1855. As we are to write of his life a Christian, will pass to the time of his conversion which took place in I6&B. He joined the Missionary Baptist ? church at this time, and began at J once an active participation in the work of the Master. In the year 1891 he. was ordained a deacon, and as an humble and * faithful servant of the church ho { worked?doing, as lie saw it, the things well-pleasing to God. Not being very familiar with Uncle Bob myself I took occasion to 1 ask several of the ministers and lav- 1 men of the Union regarding his life rf a Christian, and they all, without ' exception, spoke of him as being one 1 whose sI??b weis exemplary; whose * char&clwfv was unquestioned; whose ' fellowship was warmest and tenderest;' and whose service was faith- * Ail and untiring. One minister said. < "Just tell them he was a good man." ' About 18 years ago lie was elected ( to the superintcndency of the Sun- ( day school, which position he held in confidence and trust. But on Sunday, July 27, 1919, he conducted Sunday school his last time. For when the service was nearly over ( and while he was talking to his peo ' pie exorting them to the better, he 1 was stricken and two hours and forty-five minutes later he quietly passed to his reward. Uncle Bob is gone now?omc I months since?but his memory and influence are still with us for good, i . ?M. C. HOLMES, For Lower Pee Dee Union. Conway, S. C., Mar. 5, 1920. I SPINNERS EN ROUTE i FOR A CONFERENCE i Columbia.?A delegation of European spinners en route to the United Stales for a conference with offi- ^ rials of the American Cotton Association will arrivo probably next v/eek, said J. S. Wannamakcr, president of the American Cotton Association. In a statement issued Mr. Wannamakcr said. "Leading experts in the Cotton industry in Europe have unhesitatingly advised " the various manufacturing interests of Europe that as a result of the organization of the American Cotton Association a complete change in the method of handling the American cotton crop is inevitable. "An expert recognized as a leader It will no longer be sold into the world wide economist, in addresses before manufacturers' associations of England, before Parliament and other bodies, unreservedly commended the American Cotton Association on tV?? rr*fnrr?i< fnv wtii/'b it. in WArlrin?. statin# that these reforms meant the removal of antiquated and uneconomic methods in the handling of the American cotton crop which will bring enormous savings, prevent cmormous waste and will result in direct dealings. As a result of this the president of the American Cotton Assoiation has- been requested to arrange a con ference with representatives being sent across from Europe for the first time in sixty years. "The American cotton crop will be waaebnawed, will be marketed, direct from <he nroducor to the consumer, among the European experts and a hands df the gambler and manipu a tor. The producer is in control of 1 he situation and all he asks or ex- < >ect? is a reasonable price. The con j turner of cotton goods demands his rights. He will not be satisfied to continue to pay the enormous penalics imposed uneconomic condiions in the handling of his product , ?nd the tremendous profits secured , jy an army of unnecessary middlenen. . "Interests of the producor and the consumer are largely mutual. It is , for this reason that the leading press and people in every section of the world where the aims, objects , and purposes for which the American Cotton Association is working md the great economic reforms that it will bring are understood are supporting the association. This means success and great benefits to both producers and consumers. n ?? NOTICE OF SALE. Under a chattel mortgage f**om A. J. Stroud to T. L. Hooks, dated the f:r?t day of August A.

The populatior study was the main topic that wa? taken up at the meeting. In those depositories of knowledge wer< found many interesting facts con ceming the population of Horry. We found in this research tha in 1910 the total population of th< entire county was 26,995, an increas< of 8,631 in the last census period, oi a 15.5 per cent increase in the pop ilation of the County. Horry is i 'arge county, ranking second in size vith the county of Berkeley taking THE HORRY HERALD, OOIT the first place, but nevertheless, twenty-eight counties in the State liavc a larger population. The white element of Horry composed 75.3 per cent of the whole: population, or 20,325, an increase of 19.2 per cent, or 3 283 during the lastN census period. While other non whites, or 24.7 per cent of the entire population, an increase of 5.5 per cent, or 348. Consequently we found that Horry comes tenth in white population in the State and forty-second in negro population. Horry is strictly a rural County with an area of 1,158 square miles. Its largest town is Conway, the County seat, with a population of 1.228 in 1910, and it is estimated that there is probably 2,500 people in Conway now which would justify it in being called an urban community according to the census. Our rural population was 35.8 people per square mile in 1910. with an increase iof 12.5 people per onil O VA IV^IIA /lnvin/w 4-VIA V I 111 IV VIU 4 111^ V1IC toot VVllOU^ period. There were forty-one counties in the state that had more. These are some of the main fact? that were discovered, while at the same time the article does not include all of the discoveries. The County Club is greatly in-1 debted to Dr. Geo for the enthusiasm that has been manifested in promoting and supervising this work. It is entirely a new undertaking in this state. There has never been any social or economic surveys made of the counties by any institution in South Carolina. Even though, this is a new proposition, we are aiming and are fully determined to put this work across. The students in attendance at this meeting were James C. Hooks, President of the Club; J. C. Brown, Andrew Johnson, Hal B .Holmes, Grover C. Suggs, Coleman Martin, and Henry H. Woodward, Jr. There were appropriate subjects assigned to each man for the next meeting. James C. Hooks, President.

Twothirds of all the children of thi* County are out of Sunday Schools, only 27 million being enrolled, etc. Mr. Morris would appreciate every pastor in the County that has not yet done so, to make requisition on him for a set of questions for each of his churches, and fill these out and return to him at earliest convenience.
