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

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

gave the town 1,228 and the census

NEGRO WAS HELD
AS ESCAPED CONVICT
n ?????
The negro who was jailed here
about one month ago after sustaining
injuries at Allen, at last accounts
was still unidentified. 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 Sheriff at
last accounts had not taken any
^tion on this but is awaiting developments.

Harrison Rowell, who farmed

open cotton of 1920. 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

FAVORS FREE RANGE
Editor Herald: I wish t> ask M .
D. Jackson a few questions.
Mr. Jackson you seem to b> a
trong: advocate of the WaH
Mishoe curse culled the stock law. I
lo not see how yi.u can advocate
i *1 irg1 like that when you know it
will be ruin to 75 per cent of tho
n'H)plr of cur County. Come d a i
Mi*. Jack'O'i. old follow, and on(ess
up. 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. Jeremiah Smith for tlie
State Senate. If Mishoe goes to the
Senate we are a ruined pconip forever.

FROM K.TADAMS
TO THE VOTERS
It ha?* been brought to my attention.
that Mr. W. A. Prince, candidate
for the House of Ilepresenta-'
tives, is reading from the stump a
of nnmnl m.*nl /I ^
. UIII Mil III, \> l!'.V.II I1U WUU1U IUIV" Villi
believe was given out by me as
County Auditor, stating that Mr.
W. p. 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.

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.

1 a :i pa kivj; house for the buyers;
ami t' :.4. it. with perhan * an1
ether se })U build'n^ or 'wo, would
make tlvinjy5 better i:i 1920.
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.

United States to Canada for the

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
