NO EXCITEMENT
. AT AYNOR MEET
Incidents When F. M. Bryant,
Spoke are Given in More
Detail
BULLOCK AND ALLEN
BOTH MADE REPLIES:
There Was no Excitement or,
Near-Fight In Whole
ProceedingIt
appears that theie was se me
inaccuracy in the news item appear
ing in our last week's issue concern
ing the incident at the Aynor Campaign
Meeting, the first of the cam
paign, about the speech which was,
rtuifin hv Mr F. M. Rrvant. and the
replies to it by candidates; so that.
The Herald has obtained a report'
in detail, and will publish in full. |
It appears, that after Messrs. <
Allon and Bulloock had made their
speeches, Mr. Bryant asked permis- i
sion through some one who was \
present, to make a statement. The!
Chairman of the meeting readily j
granted permission.
Mr. Bryan1 in the course of his
remarks stated tli:<.t he thought
that he had until twehe o'clock al
night instead of twelve o'clo *k n on
on July 30th, to file his candidates
pledge.. He then went on to criticise
the schools and County Sut:e intendents,
bringing in the present
encumbent for a goodly share. The
Chairman hen reminded him that
lie did not have the privilege of
making a speech, and the chairman
did this more than once before Mr.
Uryant i?uit. wnile lie was speaKing,
he said, among other things,
that the State Chairman had telegraphed
his consent for him to
enter the race, provided all of his
^opponents would consent, and that
Allen had consented and Bullock
had refused.
Mr. Bullock then asked permission
to flnake a statement as Mr.
Bryant had brought him in. This
was granted, and he stated that
when he had taken an oath he filed
his pledge to ofcey all lules of the
Democratic Primary; that one of
tthose rules required all candidates*
to file pledges by twelve o'clock
noon on the day preceding the open
ing of the campaign; and that he
<lid not propose to break his oath,
and that the telegram from State
Chairman had said that in case
Bryant was elected he might be
prevented from taking his office by
any citizen of the County, on account
of the irregularity, and that
sinekj Alien had seen the telegram
am\. of course; this part last above
Explained, he must have signed permission
for Bfryant to enter for
what he thought would be his own
benefit coming through the fight
that he expected Mh Bryant would
w&ge on Mr. Bullcfclc, e&peciallv as
All eh had been expecting a fight
between his two opponents and that
the fight would result in his benefit.
Allen then had the floor and replied
denying what Mr. Bullock
said about his reason for signing
permission. There was no exciteimont
at the meeting at any time.

TOBACCO GROWER
PRODUCES FREAK
P. C. Jones, a tobacco planter,
'who has one and three-fourths
acres of very fine weed near Warnpee,
has brought to Conway with
him a peculiaM tobacco leaf. Noth
ing 'lfke it has ever been seen before
'in t>-'* County so far as known.
The leaf has a single stem growing
out of the stalk but after that the
description char p es, as the rest of
the leaf to wi^hH a^nt. two inches
of the cxtrrrro are four
edges arrl shows plainly two t.baccc
haver gro.vn together with one
stc?n making a seam in the middle,
and the tips of the two leaves separate
about two inches from the
end.
If someone could find out what
causcs such things as this in plant
life he might develop into a new
plant wizard. The strange leaf has
bcor cured and looked like a fair
gra of tobacco when Mr . Jones
brought it to Conway.
PLAN FOR DISCUSSION
OF INLAND WAYS
.
Plans for holding an informal
discussion on the question of the
improvement of Waccamaw Kiver
between local citizens and the candidates
for United States Senate
and Congressman from the Sixth
District are now being worked ou*.
by a Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce. This Committee was
appointed at the usual monthly
meeting of the Chamber on August
Cth. /
The candidates for the U. S. Sonate,
E. D. Smith, W. P. Pollock, W.
C. Irby, and George Warren, and
Congressman Philip H. Stoll, will
be in Conway for the Senatorial
campaign meeting on Aug. 19th. At
that time the conference between
these gentlemen and represent a-:
tives of the Chamber of Commerce I
will be held. It is likely that an inspection
of the river from a gasoline
launch will be made some time
during the day.
Ti _ -l-i -J 1 il- r .?
it ifs .siuicMi uy tnose laminar wun :
the proposition that there exists
along the eastern shore of this
country from Maine to Florida
what is known as the intra-coastal
waterway by which vessels can proceed
from one end of the coast to
the other on inland sti-eams. The i
only uncompleted length of the waterway
is from a point in North
Carolina near ihe South Carolina
line to Georgetown, a great part of
the distance through Horry County,
If this length was developed use
would be made of the Waccamaw
River and a great volume of the
traffic would pass thrctigh this
county.'
It is said that the U. S. Engineer's
office at one time recommended
:m appropriation for com-1
pletinu this project hut this recom- !
mendation was not favorably acted,
on by Congress.
This conference will be held not
with the idea of producing any immediate
result but simply to acquaint
the representatives of this
State with the facts of the situation

A dance was held under the auspices
of the American Legion, in
the club room Friday night, Aug.

Management Intends to Rent

to Get Tenant.

The Conway Chamber of Commerce
has failed to find a suitable

to be conducted at the Grace Hotel.

from time to time and almost closed
deals with two or three different
restaurant men who answered the
advertisements. The intention of
the Chamber was to provide better
accommodations at Conway for the
travelling public during the tobacco
season, when hotels and boarding
' houses are usually crowded to full
capacity.
The Chamber accepted a proposition
made by the owner of the hotel
and went ahead to try to secuie a
man to run it. Since the tobacco
; season is now well advanced th
; Chamber decided they would drop
j their efforts to try to supply a tonant
for the place.
I In the meantime, the owner of the
. hotel built a new kitchen and
pantry which is intended to be used
with the dining room for a restau!
rant business. This was n >t completed
by the opening of the tobacco
season but. could have been used by
u tenant the next week after the
season opened.
The owner of the hotel now intends
to lease the new kitchen, pantry
and dinintr room, to some competent
man who will conduct a restaurant
at the hotel.
It may be leaded within the next
week or ten days and business ma*/
start before the tobacco season is
over, anil will doubtless be a perninr.er.t
etabl:flhrr.ont.

cotton graders. The membership of
the cotton association has been very
materially increased.

CONWAY POST OFFICE
HAS NEW MASTER
Mr. C. R. Scarborough has been
appointed as Postmaster at Conway
Post Office. The matter had been
in doubt for some time as there had
been several applicants and it
seemed to be uncertain as to who
would be appointed. Mr. Scarborough
will take chaYge of the office
just as soon as his Bond is arranged,
no doubt within the next
week or two.
In the meantime Mr. A. H. Long,
who was appointed to fill the place
after the resignation of Power W.
Bethea, will still manage the office
until Mr. Scarborough perfects his
Boild and takes complete charge of
the office.

SOLOMON BROWN
TRIES TO ESCAPE
Solomon Brown, a negro defendant
charged with criminal assault,
tried to escape the first of this
week. He has been in jail for several
weeks. * It appears that when
someone went into the cages last
Sunday night Brown slipped out of
his cell into another cell that was
empty, that he remained there until
some one opened another door
and then slipped through into another
department of the jail building.
He could not get cut of there
except by waiting his opportunity
when the iron door lpjulino- tr? fho
I staircase might bo openod. On
Monday morning it was discovered
that Brown was not in his cell. E.
G. Norman, who was engaged in
painting some of tl ^ rooms in the
jail, found him in the other end of
the building looking through the
bars poised as if ready to strike
Norman with something if he could.
Quick action on the part of Norman
and others about the jail prevented
the negro's escape.

Thro is noted in this county now
a showinc of more pride on the part
of the tobacco growers in producing
bright colored loaf. They have

SMALL AUDIENCE
AT GREENWOOD
t
Speeches of Prince and Hooks
for House Showed Some
Signs of Warmth.
The second meeting of the County
campaign came off according to
schedule at Greenwood School last
j Monday morning. There was only
I about fifty persons present to hear
i the candidates state their claims.
One speaker declared upon his return
to Conway that he was sure
that the farmers were busy getting
their tobacco to market or trying to
gather the same between showers
of rain.
So far as reported all of the candidates
were at this second meeting
and most of them merely made
| statements of their claims while the
candidates for the Legislature made
: speeches at greater length.
For a time there was a sign of
some warmth in the speeches made
by Messrs. W. A. Prfnce and W.
C. Hooks. Mr. Prince stands for the
free range while Mr. Hooks argues
for the stock law as it now exists,
or will exist after January 1st.
There was nothing definite that
passed between the two candidates
| but there was enough to promise
I some warmth in the speeches that
will be made later on this week.

Theio were two sales of fine
cows in this section recently. One
I of the sales took place at auction
here at Conway on Saturday, July
I 31st. A whole carload was disposed
of to ihe farmers of Horry
County.
' The other auction sale took place
at Tabor, N. C., on Friday, Augus:
6th. and consisted also of a carload.
The cows were brought from
Tennessee and were composed mostly
of Jerseys, Guernseys, and a
few of them pure breds.
These cows were purchased by
Fox and May from farmers of
Tennessee, Knox County, two or
three from each farmer, and will
make an improvement in the stock
on.any farm judging by the fine
appearance the cows made when

Those Who Think Schedule

Attend These Meetings.
Under the recent Act of the Legislature
creating a State Highway
Department, there is contained the
following provision:
"The said State Highway
Commission shall, under the
advice of the State Highway
Engineer, lay out a system of
connecting highways throughout
the State, connecting every
county seat within the Stats
and covering such main avenues
of travel arid traffic as the said
Highway Commission may deem
a Ivisable.4'
Before complying with the above
provision of the Act the Department
dee *'V it advisable to hold a
public hearing in each of the seven
Cor.gv ssi-.ma' Districts of the State,
to which wil' bo invit- d all parties
who may bo interested in the matter.
A tentafivo State System wis
laid out by former Highway Department
after long study and caieful
considc ration, and as a basis of
discussion this tentative System
will be used. Maps of this lay out
may bo obtained at the office of
the County Supervisor of Roads of
every County.
In pursuance of the above purpose
that State Highway Commission
will hold a hearing at the County
Court House in the city of Florence
on Monday, August 16, 1920, from
10 A. M. to 1 P. M. and a further
