MOVEMENT STARTED^
' L fOR NEW COUNTY
For some time there has been
talk about beginning a movement
for making a new County out of a
section of Horry County with Loris
as the County Seat. Lately the
talk about this has been more frequent
than usual and the movement
may be said now to be started. Last
week it was stated that no survey
had vet been made and no petitions
circulated, but it was thought that
petitions would be in circulation in
a very short time. The Herald endeavored
to find out who is at the
head of the movement but did not
succeed in learning any names. It is
understood, of course, that business
men at Loris and perhaps others in
that of the County av/> inf
/I A

j HORRY WOMEN
REGISTER TO VOTE
An examination of the records of j
the Registration office showed that
a.proximately five hundred women
have registered as voters in Horry
County. The Supervisor of Registration
will make up an accurate
statement and furnish this for
making report to headquarters in
Columbia.
The Clerk cf the Board of Registration
stated that only two out
of the approximate five hundred
were colored women. The exact
number registered will be pubished
a little later.
CHANGES HANDS.
Buckley Brothers, who were engaged
in the resturant business in
Conway for about ton years, sold
out their equipment last week to a
Greek, James Pappas. The latter
has been conducting the business
at the same stand at the Lunch
Room in rear of the Town Hall.
It is reported that Buckley
Brothers will go out of the resturant
business.

FLEET TO CARRY
OUT AGREEMENT
Washington. -The United States
navy is organizing a new fleet of
nine war ships, which, it was officially
stated, will be permanently
based upon Panama canal for protection
of Americn and -foreign interests
in Central America. The
fleet will include five cruisers, the
Galveston, Des Moines, Cleveland,
Taccma and Denver, and the gunboats
Niagara, Sacramento, Asheville
and Dolphin.
Its function is to fulfill the obligation
accepted by the United States
under a secret agreement with
Gi\at Britan and France by which
this country was given a virtual
mandate over Mexico arid Centra1
America. The treaty was exclusively
described in a Washington
dispatch to Universal Service.
.Organization of the fleet is hast-1
ened by revolutions in Guatema'a,
which threaten the peace of Mexi-1
on. nrwi in Hnnrlnrui:
Under the private pact this government
is responsible for foreign
lives and property in these countries.
Under the adminstration's agreement
with ftngland and France an
adequate military force will also bo
maintained along the Mexican border.

Meetings Productive of Good

Even to Those Who Couid
Not Attend.
The scries of Revival Meetings
conducted by the churches of Con*
way, started on Sunday September
19th, 1920, at eleven o'clock in the
forenoon, and ended with the regular
service conducted last Wednesday
night. The meetings were held
in the large brick warehouse of
Planters Tobacco & Storage warehouse
Company, now owned by Mr.
W. A. Freeman. This warehouse
I was large enough to hold Mie immense
crowds that gathered at the
sci vie s every day and nigh* while
the meetings were in progress.
These meetings were conducted

churches, under the leadership of the

the Methodist church an i he \vtos
ably assisted by Mr. Homer ?S. Jenkins
ot Atlanta, Georgia, who lead
the song service.
rThe sermons delivered by iftr.
Bridgers did not tail to awaken an
increasing interest. They covered
many subjects and were laden with
gospel tiutiis from beginning to
end. Much good was accomplished
by the meetings not on'y among
those who attended the service but
the inlluence for good exerted has
been felt by the community in general.
A spc-?ial feature of the meeting
was the "Old Folks Servivce," held

by assisting with the music.
NO EXPRESS CAR"
FOR BIG ORDER
Lack of Equipment and Pep
Costing Country
Big Sums.
The shortage of ra/lroad cars and
lack of pep on the pari of* railroad
men is -costing this country much
money at this time. It effects Con
way as well as other towns.
Last week the Veneer Manufaoturing
Company, of which Mr. W.
A. Stilly is manager, ha<l an order
from a customer, Messrs. Steiner
i & Son, of Asbury Park, New Jerj
.sey, for a whole carload < f boxes
to be shippod to them by express.
t\ rmi
ivir. otiiicy endeavored to obtain a
car from the Express Company
and showed the Herald man a telegram
addressed to Mr. J. M. McKeithan,
the lo\il agent, stating
that the car could not he furnished.
This carload would have weighed
84,000 pounds and the express
charges would have amounted to a
gvcat clot.-! for the erpress company.
At last accounts Mr. Stilley had
wired the customer that he would
make the shipment by freight if
they coul.1 take it that way.
