CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM BETTER THAN EVER Whon it Pr.mao tn Ur.rrw ?. wuiiivvi iv I IUI I } County Three Days This Year : NUMBERS ARE GIVEN ^ TWICE EACH DAY Community Problems Are Given Much of the Time and Will Be Interesting. The Radcliffe Chautauqua, when it comes to Horry County this year, will be filled with three days of I great entertainment, two attractions each day, afternoons and nights. As published last week the date was fixed for May 18th, 19th, and 20th, .with the understanding that a slight change might be necessary owing to train schedules of which ample notice will be given. The community problems facing vcach and every neighborhood in this - Mcountry, today have found frequent place on the program this year. These are among the most interesting subjects to be treated. Accompanied by several companies of the J best entertainers, there is not a rea-j son why the chautauqua should not prove a howling sucess this time.

The new building contains twenty-four sleeping rooms on the second floor and forty bath rooms 0:1 the ground floor. It is said that when finally completed each of the forty bath rooms will be supplied with a shower bath and j running fresh water. In front is the 1 lillfO room will lin ncrrwl fnv ?i I lobby aiwI in this a modern so !a ] fountain will bo installed. The old bath house, with pavillion . overhead, has been moved away and converted into a cottage. The new building is located on the right hand j side of the board walk going to the stiand. These new bath houses will j, be used in connection with the j Myrtle Beach Hotel, and will open | for the season of 1920, about June 8th. The Methodist will conduct a , training school for Sunday Scho >1 teachers during the week of June ] 8th to 15th at this p.pulav resort. 1 Another advantage in the new , building is the cement floors, and ? the woodwork is of cypress lumber. ( o MALARIA CONTEST. The essays in the Malaria Contest were senc off April 19th, and placed ( in the hands of the following com- | mittce as judges: Dr. A. C. Moore, ( Prof. Patterson Wardlaw, and Prof. Wilson Gee, all of the University of South Calolina. As soon as a decision is made it will be announced through the papers. o HAS RETURNED HOME. Hon. R. B.

Mr. Scarborough is now recovered though still showing the effects of what he has gone through, and his many friends are delighted. dr. v/7kTlewis WILLVISIT HORRY | I Confers Today With Representatives of the Farmers Concerned About Dipping RESPONDS TO LETTER RECENTLY WRITTEN Stating1 to Dr. Lewis The Position Taken by Stock Owners and Their Views. % # Di" W If T.auris trw whnrvi a was recently written by a number of the farmers who do not want to dip their cattle this Spring, will arrive in Conway this week and will confer with representatives of this group of planters, on today, Thursday, April 29th. The letter which was addressed to Dr. Lewis in his official capacity was printed in full in this paper this week. | The letter stated perhaps only in part the reasons which have actuatthose farmers in the matter. At least it is said to have given IV main grounds on which their opp sition is placed; and it stated in substance that the farmers are not ; opposing the law, as a law, but thai they do not think they are liable t" have to dip their cattle again undc the circumstances nertainine- to thi ! c&ao. The main thing they refer to 1 perhaps, is the record kept by the men who had tho dipping last year in charge, showing that the cattle in question were dipped the same a?> ,the other cattle of that section, and that they should therefore be free from the tick requirements this time. A number of the leading stock raisers of the Cedar Grove community will doubtless meet with Dr. Lewis today as arranged. ; ; " # v 4 Porr CONWAY, S. C., THURSDAY CONWAY INSPECTOR HEARS FROM COLUMBIA Concerning What is Necessary Under State Building Code in Fire Limits. Mr. Perry C. Quaillebaum. Inspector of buildings for the Town of Conwav. has shown the Herald ron resentative sonic letters received b;, him from Mr. YV. A. McSwain, Insurance Commissioner of S. C. It would appear that sometime ago the Town of Conway adopted as one of its Ordinances what is 'known as the State Building Code, and this is thought to have made quite a change in the Town laws regarding the erection of wooden buildings with in what is known as the fire limits. It would seem that the Town authorities have held that a frame structure could be erected within the limits provided the side walls and tops were covered with metal or 3ome other non-inflamable material. The substance of the letters received by Mr. Quattlebaum shows that sections 18 and 19 of the State Building Code requires that every building within the fire limits shall be inclosed on all sides with walls constructed wholly of stone, weil burned bricks, terra cotta, concrete, or other equivalent incombustible materials; one of the letters stating that a fiame building covered with corrugated iron is not a fireproof building and could not be used under any circumstances as equivalent to a building constructed of -stone, brick, terra cotta, or concrete, and he goes on to say that in his opinion it would be a violation of the Ordinance provided, of course, the Town had passed the State Building C :de. Yet it seems that it is a matter of opinion more than anything else and it may be that a legal test of the questions regarding a building entirely enclosed with galvanized corrugated mewl might result in a decision of the Court that it is not against the State Code. A building constructed in that manner is very far ahead of a building entirely of wood and if properly planned and protected \\\ uld he about as safe as a brick building finished and trimmed with wooden floors and windaws o.nd doors and the other usual inflammable attachments such as sheds and awnings. Several of the galvanized iron buildings arc in process of erection at this time in the Town. The Herald is not well informed just now as to where the fire limits in the town extend. An examination of the ordinances will discloes these to any who are interested. " o ? HORRYITE IS JUDGE OF GEORGIA COURT B. A. Harper, who left South Carolina ancl went to Georgia in the year 1889, must have made a success in that State as the Herald is informed that he is now Judge of the Clinch County Court at Homerville, Georgia; and that this Court under the laws of Georgia convenes in that County on the first Monday in each month and that quarterly terms are held on the first Tuesdays in January, April, July and October. Associated with hi in in the Cou rt are W. T. Dickerson, Solicitor, who represents the State of Georgia, an ! P. R. Lee, the Sheriff of the County. Mr. Harper has a number of brothers and other relatives in Horry County who will doubtless b: glad to know of his success in Georgia. Horry County is in need of o County Court and the Bar As oc'ation requested their delegation i: the General Assembly last Januarv to provide for such a Court. The> did nor do it, tut it is coming some tiir.o, as all modem communities <ir mere and more in need of this kin' Af Court to dispose of the almost numberless minor cases that arise with cut waiting- a lifetime to get u. a trial.

[ CIVIC LEAGUE Will S PUT ON CAMPAIGN i. >; 1 For Cleaning Up and Painting f- Up the Town of r- Conway. s. P. Women of the Conway Civic League are now taking the prelims'' inary steps, and making well laid plans to put on here a "Clean up n i and Paint up Campaign." It is in | the interest of a better looking town, a better feeling town, and above all /e a healthier town. They are preparc" e<l to call to their aid all such forces J* as are usually appealed to in this n" wo: 1c. The campaign will be in active operation, it is believed, in the next two or three weeks, maybe a little later owing to the speed at which ll~ the arrangements can be made. 'r> The merchants will be asked to take stock in the advertising feature of the work, and those who handle 'I" paints, hardware, and all materia1 men and others who are inteiested in a clean looking town will be asked to contribute their share in making this a great success. 11 * Those who can afford it will be '1" expected to use the paint biush, r> none whatever will be excused from cleaning up the premises. The Herald has offered all of the 2U time and space that the paper can s? spare to aid in this movement. o 01 CIVIC LEAGUE MEETING x TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 4. r" On account of the May Festival to E. | U A Knl/l Jvi /vim iiiiif/iii /ii^n TVI.i iii/iM I ut nvivi in viii .ii.tici 11ui iti u run ! on the date of the regular Civic n?

Bryant and Also His Son and Son's Wife Ave Implicated in Toils of Law. Sheriff J. A. Lewis assisted the Federal officer last Friday morning in making a raid at the residence of W. Harley Bryant, who lives in the country across Kingston Lake not many miles from Conway. A whiskey still was taken in actual operation. There was a fire under it at the time but the charge had not begun to run off at the time it was seized. The still was a crude affair made of a gasoline barrel, w'th the necessary attachments, and contained, according to the officers' estimation, about ten gallons capacity. Implicated in this matter, besides W. Harley Bryant, is the son of W. H. Bryant, whose name the Herald did not obtain, and the son's wife, and it appears that all three will be held to answer charges in the Federal Court for violation of the National Prohibition laws. One of the officers said that while they were engaged in talking with i W. Harley Bryant in the field, that ;! Bryant's wife slipped around to the son's house and caused a quantity of i sour mash to be turned out before the officers got there. By the time , they arrived near the house they vnoliw/A/1 - ?- -J J ?l * a v - i v? n<iLvi i>nut tn is UliilcriQl 1121(1 DC6D spilled, doubtless to keep it from i being found. It is stated by some people who I claim to know, that there is a crude still being- operated somewhere between Conway and Pauley Swamp, they make this statement doubt'ess ;from the signs of the strong drink coming from that section at times. o REVIVAL SERVICES. On Sunday, May 2nd, we shall begin a seines of Revival Services at -Cool Springs Methodist church, which shall be continued through/ the week. Only one service shall be held on Sunday, the hour bning 3:3ft P.*M. Beginning with Monday* there shall be two services each day* morning services at 11 o'clock, and night services at 8 o'clock.
