r AGE EIGHT FAVOR EXTRA BOX j IN NEXT PRIMARY Showing How People Standi on Question of Free Range Law COUNTY CONVENTION # GOES ON RECORD I Favoring the Resolution Intro* hv 1\T TT "?n Hr i Vi uvvvi yj j V.J. %7 Majority of Three. The Horvy Demo?) atic Convention which met M< nday, developed into a very interesting fight between the advocates of "Free Range" or Fence Law, an! the advo ates of the Stock Law by the introduction of a Resolution calling uy>i n the County Executive Committee to hold an E'ection during the Primary of next j summer, as an oxp.es ion of the people on this subject. After a very full and at times very heated discussion, the Convention, by a majority vote of d adopted the Resolution. The Convention was called to Or <ior at eleven o deck oy oounty Chairman K. J. Sherwood, and after prayer, by Rev. Mr. Mullinix, of Loris, Hon. Jeremiah Smith was elected temproary Chairman and Mr. J. P. Derham, Jr., temporary Secretary. Messrs E. J. Sherwood and J. O. Norton were named by the Convention as President and Sec retary, respectively, of the Convention. County Chairman E. J. Sherwood was re-elected without opposition, as was State Executive Committeeman J. A. McDermott. Resolution offered by Senator Ruck, endorsing" Hon. George J. Holliday as a delegate from this State to the National Convention at San Francisco, was passed by the Convention. The matter of instructing delegates to the State Convention, ori the Presidential Candidacy was not brought up officially, but was touch ed on by some of the Convention speakers and the sentiment of the Convention appeared, decidedly, against instruction. Mr. McAdoj was eulogized by Messrs. D. A. Spivey, Jeremiah Smith and George J. Holliday, and it appeared that he was the choice of the Convention, but no Resolutin endorsing- his candidacy or pledging the support of the delegates to him was offered. The Dogwood Resolution, introduced by Mr. Willie H. Vau -;ht, condemning the action of /the members of the Horry delegation in putting Horry under the General Stock Law,; and requesting Hon. Jeremiah Smith to offer for the Senate, was read and received as information, without discussion. This Resolution appealed in full in these columns la .1 week. The Fence Election Resolution, which precipitated the fight in the Convention, was offered by Mr. W. J. Hendricks of Cedar Grove and was as follows: "WHEREAS, The question of "Stock-Daw" for the various Counties of the State has been heretofore regarded as strictly a local matter and one to bo decided by the citizens of each C unty, ? and "WHEREAS, the people of Horry County, for the past several decacl<*s, have been assured by the various candidates for the General Assembly that the so-called "No-fence law" would not be enacted for said Coun ty without a majority vote of the people so requesting it;?and "WHEREAS, at the last session of the Legislature an Act was passed abolishing "free range" in H rry r'.riiinl.v nn arwl jvft.nr .liin 1st. 1021 without consulting the wishes of her citizens at the ballot box;?and "WHEREAS, We regard this action as undemocratic and unfair both to the advocates and opp nents of the proposed change;?and "WHEREAS, There is to be h Id a General Democratic Primary in this County on Tuesday, August 1920 for the puipose of nominating State and'County officers. "NOW THEREFORE, Re it RE SOLVED, by the Citizens of Horry County in Convention assembled "1st. That we hereby authorize and instruct the County Executive Committee of said County to hav;? placed at each voting precinct at said election a separate ballot box labeled "Stock-Law." "2nd. That suitable tickets be pro vided, and the election Managers requested to conduct said e'ection in accordance with the law provided in Wgmg. ... . if other elections. "3rd. That every voter in said C unty bo requested to express his preference in regard to the "StockLaw:" Should he prefer no change in the law as heretofore existing, his ballot shall be "Free Range:" Should he desire the propo'ed tlmngo, his vote shall be "No Fence." "4th. That we ark the Senator and members of the House of Representatives to bo elccte ! at said Primary election to pledge themselves to abide by the decision of the majority as cxprc sed therein: And to . eok to pass suitable legislation to eonfoim therewith. "5th. That should a majority of said vctes be for "Free Range," then and in said event, we appeal to all our citizens to retain their fences for at l^ast GO days after Jan. 1st, 1921, pending the action of the 1 o! ?i 1 n l o ?i j fn mun'ilmir f tin ln\\? ? ^ v >i.<ii?vv. v ? vv i \ |/v vwv a ?? or 1920 whereby Horry County was placed under the operation of the General Stock-law." Immediately upon the Resolution being read, Mr. J. O. Norton raised the point of order that, under the lules, the Convention could not consider the Resolution as that body had no power to direct the action of the County Executive Committee. The p unt was overruled, however, by the ( ounty Chairman and Col. I). A. Spivey took the floor in a vigorous speech in behalf of the Resolution. Col. Spivey reviewed, at some length, the history of the Stock Law fight in this County, and commended the former delegations to the General Assembly for their refusal to force the law upon the people without a vote and appealed to his hearers to give the voters a chance to express themselves at the ballot box this summer. Hon. Jeremiah Smith made a vigorous speech in favor of the Resolution, his position being that the failure of the delegation or of the Legislature to give the people the right to vote on the question, was in direct opposition to the principal of local self-government. This was "Uncle Jerry's" first appearance in the Political Arena in many years, and he still possesses a large measure of his former earnestness of expression. i rt _L L. i _ ? iiioit; w na iiu rrtu ugnt niaue in opposition to the Resolution, as regards the right of the people to vote, but vigorous protests were raised by those opposed to Section Five of the Resolution, which its opponents stated had the effect, ii passed, of urging the people to defy a law already on the Statute books, Messrs. A. D. Jackson, Hoyt McMillan, J. O. Norton, Hal L. Buck, H, Kemper Cook and W. L. Mishoe alsr made talks on the Resolution, theii fights being * directed, largely against Section Five thereof. Mr Mi lire's stiaightfoiward stand ir support of his position, assuming respon. ibility for the stock law was i< udly applrudcd. The Swearingen Resolution, endorsing every effort to give the voters, who were unable to read an write their names on the Club Roll an opportunity to get an education was unanimously endorsed by th< Convention. Two new Clubs: White Oak neai the home of T. W. Booth of Adrian and Hickory Grove, at the store ol Francis Holliday, near Hickorj r i i i i.i n vjrove, wore recognizee! ny uic ton vention and their delegates seated The number of delegates attending the Convention was 63. The election of six delegates t< the State Convention resulted in th( selection of Messrs. E. J. Sherwood Geo. J. Holliday, J. P. Derham, Ha L. Buck, and W. L. Mishoe, each ol whom received a majority of th< votes cast. By motion, which was made and carried at the close of tk< election, Col. I). A. Spivey, the nex highest, was added to this numb3i as the sixth delegate. WAR PROFITS TAX' TORAISE FUNDS Plan Agreed on for Soldie Relief?To Introduce Bill. Washington.?A retroactive tax o war profits has been definitel agreed upon by house Democrats an "insurgent" Republicans to rais * i i? it* 1 _ it i _ i i . lunas lor soiuier renei log siauoi Representative Rainey, Democrat, I linois, and Johnson, Republicai South Dakota, in a statement issue announced that a bill would be ir troduced providing for the collectio of the tax. The plan of the . Republican lea< ers has not been finally agieed upo but it is said provision probably wi be the imposition of a 1 per cen tax on sales. The battle upon f THE HORRY HERALD, 00 nancing soldiers bonus legis'ation^J scheduled to commence in the hou je, promises to hinge upon these two conflicting schemes f^r m eting the expense involved. Under the bill to be submitted, an 80 per cent tax will be levied on individual and corporation incomes over and above ti e "prewar income'' with an exemption of $20,000 for individuals and $100,000 for corporations. "In case of an individual," the bill proposes, "the term war profits" j means the amount by which his aver ! age net income for the taxable years ( 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920, less his average income, war profits and excess profits taxes for such years exceed his net income for the taxable year 1914. "In case of a corporation in existence during prewar period the term 'war profits' means the amount by which its average net income for 1.1 - h r\ ? n 4 /\ 4 n 4 rv 4 r\ uiu LOAiiuie years lyi7, iyio, ?yiy, and 1920, less its average income, war profits and excess profits taxes for which such years exceed its average net income for the prewar period (the calendar years of 1911. 1912 and 1913) plus or minus, as the case may be, 10 per cent, of the difference between its average invested capital for the prewar period and its average invested capital for the taxable years 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920." Corporations under the counter revenue bill of the Democrats and 'insurgent" Republicans, includes, "associations, joint stock companies and insurance companies." Mr. Rainey said the mca ure would raise two billion dollars for carrying out the soldier relief and would have the solid support of the Demicrats in the house. No announcement, however, was made as to the number of "insurgent" Republicans expected to support the counter revenue bill. S. C. DUSENBURY A Uahmaii I Hiiun iuy~di"L_dW Spivey Building CONWAY, ? S.

Editor Herald: As there has been dis.ussion of the stock law in the Horry Herald, will you allow me a short space to reply to some rf those articles such as Mr. L. P. Roberts had in yout^ 9 paper of the 22nd. 1 am a farmer and a renter at that and I have kept house twelve years and 1 have never pH made enough meat at one time to last me until last year. I had been I doing as Mr. Roberts and others have been doing, trying to keep so many brood sows on half feed and depended on them to get the rest of B| their feed in the woods. Here is my practical experience. I killed my brood sow and bought me two Duroc I barrows and put* them up in a little shady lot 25 by 80 yards and gave them good care. When I killed them they weighed 425 pounds each and 140 pounds of lard, so I and all others can raise our meat that way and I am in favor of having the stock law for if I let my stock run in the woods cholera and automcbiles will kill them and I would get nothing. I So let's hold up our little two by four Delegation. Come on two by fours and show your colors in the fight and see who wins. I am one of B the farmers that follow the plow and B eat bread by the sweat cf my brow B and the little two by fours that went to Columbia can come and help me fl for I have got the hog and hominy. So I hone that all will and say it was not a curse put <?tt H us but a blessing and if all who are kicking about it would do as my land I lor<l and myself have done they I would say give us the stock law. ;<H ?I.
