ON FREE RANGE AND STOCK LAW I Candidates for Senate and House Make Livest j Speeches of All mmmmm?mmmam ^PEOPLE DEVIDED ON IMPORTANT QUESTIONS Next Week Will Wind up the County Campaign of 1920 Last week the candidates for County offices had a full week of meetings, and after resting this week, will begin again next Monday ! morning; and when next week is i out the County Campaign for 1920 I will bo over. At the meeting last i week, the only subject which f brought out any ginger was the I question of the free range and the I general stock -Jaw passed at th'I last session. This applied, of course, wto the candidtes for the State " Senate and candidates for the House. Early last week there were signs of spirited debates between the advocates of the free r?*>nge and those of the general stock law. I On Tuesday at Dog Blulf Mr. f Jeremiah Smith was on 4lio p oI gram and delivered a cha:act- ris[ tic speech in behalf of the free I ? ?? rwrr? rvnnnln jmJ rifhtK of l0"al I 1" "I '-> self-government in general. lie* was followed by Mr. W. L. Mishoe, I Lwho is an ardent supporter of the stock law and who was a member ill of the Legislature when the law jf, *was passed. He attacked Mr. I? Smith's past record claiming that J in years gone by Mr. Smith had I oppose I tho enteriner of the railroad in' o Horry County and had been an opponent of Benjamin A. Tillman, one of the v greatest supporters of the people, according to Mr. Mishoe. This hitting back } continued to some extent at o'her r\ meetings and did not develop into more than the usual debates so far as The Herald has b^en informed. The people are divided f on this question of free .range and numbers of them wish to see the jaw stricken from the V Statute Books, and it is their purp pos" to elect free range advocats J in both branches of th General AsK sembly if they can. On the other If hand it appears that other memft bers favov the stock law and t' OSO I who favor this vill vote for the I candidate- who have expre s1 i K themselves in favor of the recent II i?,,.

He is supposed to he an escaped convict, is said to have killed another negro at Causey, South Carolina. The Sheriff stated last Monday that he had communicatee! with 'nnnni^ of i ? I""" t, . V Causey to get the negro identified. At last accounts no one had come. Recently the negro employed an attorney, who applied to the Sheriff late Saturday and requested the elcase of the negro.

The lot consisted of two open bolls of cotton. Mr. Rowell recently had his farm sold at auction and doubled the money that he paid for it. It was stated at the time that he would move to Florida, but he says he is not likely to move away from Hor ry County, but will likely buy anoth or farm here. - o. FORWARD MOVEMENT CAMPAIGN.

When you were makine* your campaign for the Homo did vou >t advocate the frco range, o used words to that effect? Is it a more certain fact that you move 5 away from Marion County to he rid of the stock 'aw? You semi t think that the stock law is here t xvuy. i! wo can gr?t a square deal majority for the free range and prot the free? range men elected, d m't we stand a good chance to hav^ the law lepealod? You boast t).at lots of the fanners are gein"- t> tear down their fences the first of January. If they dos they a;p in their own light and I hone if they tear them down they will be compelled to put them b'ek. You must be doing this for your own personal benefit for 1 don't see how a man of your ability can a vocate the strc'.c law. 1 wish to say to the voters of Horry County and tell them rot to listen to Jackson nor xV:i!t Mishoe but voto for and Carter for the House and Hon.

I/iwnmorc, also a candidate for the House of Representatives, is not a tax payer in Horry Count v. I have never furnished Mr. Prince I with any such statement, and in ju ;tice to myself as well as all others concerned I wish to correct the impression which might be made from the reading of said statement. I will ask Mr. Prince to drop my name, and use instead, the name of S. C. Dusenbury whom did furnish him the information. The facts arc as foMows: As shown by the recovds of this office, Vv. W. D. Lawrimore wa; a tax* payer in Horry County for some vea"s prior to 1918. In 1912, it anpravs he sold his lard which he as all other citizens have a perfect light t > do, and while b^ing a cripple man, is exempt from poll tax. and his name of course dropped from the books. IHirin:; last yea'*. 1919 Mr. W. L. Richardson and Mr. W. D. Lawn- ' more, did purchase from W. Paul i L"wri> ore. 119 acres of land which; thov did nay the taxes on foe I9'9. and Mr. VV. L. Richardson holds the recei pt. The'.'naid the tax^s in the name of W. Paul Lawrimore, a they did not j buy it in time to return it in their own names for 1919. This land is j returned for 1920, in the name of! W. L. Richardson an<l W. I). Lawri- i more. Mr. W. I) Lawrimore also re-, turns for 1920, 00 acres in his own name which he bought of Conway Savings Hank. If Mr. Prince wants to read any thing I have said. I did not object to him reading this. And if any one wants to search the records of my offieo, they are at liberty to do so. N. C. Adams, County Auditor. ICE CREAM AND BOX SUPPER.

TOBACCO SITUATION NEEDS RELIEF NOW From the Congested Condition Apparently Developing on the Market CHAMBER COMMERCE ASKED TO HANDLE With the Aim of Providing: Relief Now Before it is Too Late As developments now show, the Conway tobacco market is seriously hampered bv the lack of pride houses. The Chamber of Commerce undertc ,k to consider this feature f \w prov>ment, which was shown to be needed by experience of it) 10. At one time early in 1920 he Chamber of Commerce was about to svceced in getting a new pwizerv started. St ck was subscribed o" so it was reported The Herald t^ouv'it tha- a new prizery costinjv not less than $10,000.00 wculd nvely b hii'l? for the 1920 crop. For some rca-u ti we ce.mu. t tell \har, the voie-t rai'ed. >To new pj iv:c h:>use was \y 'ovVied. T.atrr ci i' wa-; s a ed :?b ?ut the ?!i\ei.. . t! : t the rid waic'ense of M'\ A. C.

It now d'vrloes that the WareI houses avr4 blocked with hotheads fil'ed \>ilh leaf t< baoco, so that it looks like the sales may have to stop on a moment's notice or throw this tobacco out into the streets. There is one thir.jr sure, and that Jo ?U.,4 -1? -- -*?? ' * i.-?, una n ?tiiunuu-H' nuor canncr dp used for the two pir poses of selling the farmers' product and taking care of it after the buyers have bought it. and both of these thirgjs are necessary. ;f fanners are to get what their tobncco is worth. Wo have heard that some of the warehouse men intend to make it a rule, from which they will not dej part any more, not to allow the warehouses they have rented t) be uped by tbe buyers as store houses. This they brdieve will put the tobacco warehouse owners, as well as other business men here, on a quick move to provide prize houses where the tobacco purchased may bo handled and packed in hogshca Is to await shipment. The Herald cannot u'ge the taking of immediate action too much. Conway has a chance t > become one of the largest markets in the t^ntire State. It is only a chance, however, which denends upon the energy and pr. per spirit of those who are here with the means to invest in the interest of the industry. The Chamber of Commerce should / take charge of this matter at once and see if the situation cannot he relieved now. Cars are scarce, and if the hogsheads, packed full of tobacco, cannot be sh'pned away, there must be some visible way of taking care of this piMduce; or else the buyers will not have it. In that way both warehouses and the farmers will stand a great loss.

BEANS AND PEAS IN PLACE OF MEAT _ Roans and peas contain more protein than other fresh vegetables. This protein, however, is not the same as the proteins of meat, mi'k. or ork, foo<i specialists of the United States Department of Agricul'ure say. and should not be used to the exclusion of the others. When, how ever, beans and peas are freely used, less milk. meat and ?ggs are needed. The following foods or combinations of foods supply as much protein as one-fourth pound of beef of average compostf inn V1V/II .
