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.

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

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.

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

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.

Answers the Articles Recently V
Written Against the Stock B
Law.
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
