UNCi-E ROHKUT McCRACKKN.
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

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.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
HOLD CLUB MEETING
The Academic Students of the
Horry County Club, at the University
of South Carolina, held its reg
ular meeting in the Departmental
Library of Rural Social Science,
uhich is in charge of Dr. Gee, on
last Thursday afternoon.
mixnnoA A# tV?A mnotinn
X lie II1CMU (SVIi|S\SO?> VI ???v r
was to study some of the rural prot
lems of the County. 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.

the
actual work of the survey has
been done, and in others it is under
way.
Rev. S. C. Morris, who has charge
of the survey for the county, attended
the State Pastor's Conference
held last week in Columbia, and reports
an enthusiastic support the
movement has in all parts of the *?
County.
In Calhoun County, this State, the
survey recently completed reveals a
little more than one-third of the ?
County that is not touched by a
church of any denomination. 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.
A map is being preparectfof the
County, showing location of Churches
and Schools, that will prove of in
terest to our people.
