J TRANSPORTATION IS CONWAY'S BIG NEED (Continued from page 1.) written letters by men whose judgment may be relied on. In addition to the need for transportation facilities many other mature suggestions were advanced. Improving long distance telephone service, closer co-operation between the town and County, a prize house sufficient to meet tlie needs of the to'bacco market and the beautifying of the City ulifng Kingston Lake, wen stressed in several letters. Following is the ietter written by the Secretary of the N Chamber ol Commerce to the members of thaorganization: "We are writing to you as a member of the Chamber of Commerce to solicit from you your views as U what you consider should be the activities of our Chamber "We want a referendum of all of the m<vnbers of the Chamber of Com merce on this question: (What should the Conway Chamber of Commerce now undertake for the development of the community?) The ideas o ninety men will be more valuable than the ideas of a Secretary of any committee. Please make your sug gestion as broad and constructive as possible. This matter should be worth your devoting a few minutes of thought to, and we will appreciate genuinely any ideas which you ma; n/liron.on T nf no Kao v 4*t?/vii CAVivaiLWi 1JV (/ UD 111.(11 1 IU111 t>uu^ In reply to the above letter, among a large number of letters, the following suggestions were advanced: "I believe that the most important thing that can be accomplished now is improved transportation facilities.' This letter comes from a prominent Attorney of Conway. "It ^he Atlantic Coast Line could be induced to remove their tracks from Main Street and lay them from the River on high ground, via the Court house, and out through the negro district, tapping the R. R. near H. P. "Little's brick yard, it would furnish railroad facilities for almost any kind of Manufacturing purposes. Until this is done I fail to see how we can hope <to make Conway a manufacturing town. We have plenty of raw material and laboi nere for cotton mills, hosiery mills, oil mills, truck barrel or fertilizer factories, foundry and machine shops, the last named badly needed now This letter comes from a prominent Manufacturer of Conway. "Undertake to have the railroad removed from lV^ain Street." Tliis letter comes from a prominent business man of Conway. ^ "In this letter I can only say tha' I am sure that one of the moMt im portant things. that the Conway Chamber of Commerce should try to bring about i? the establishment i Conway of the very best facilities to be had for storing and packing th. leaf tobacco crops of the yearn to tome, and the establishment of a stemmery where the leaf tobacco will , be prepared for shipment, and other improvements that will be appreciated by the tobacco growers. Ono reason why this should be done is to be found in the fact that the boll weevil will *oon destroy the value ol' the cotton crop as a money crop for the farmers of this County. While on the other hand, this county has some of the best tobacco land in the State of S&uth Carolina. The Chamber of Commence can help the farm ers make use of this valuable la^-' regardless of the failure of cotton." This letter comes from a promi nent Attorney of Conway. "Get busy and build a tobacco stem mery and by all means a prize house or pack house. We have a better type of tobacco than you can get else where and no one need to be afraid to invest in this. We can and will raise tobacco of better quality and grade from year to year than is rais ed elsewhere for less than it costs elsewhere." This letter comes from a prominent business man of Conway. Anether citizen of Conway, who has a keen interest in the beautifying of the To\vi> makes the following terse suggestiert:, "Beautify o\ir water fronts, especially on Kingston Lake." "Beautify irv fronp pf th? City Hal and around the Coml Houae." ' {! -4*? ' 'I The bringing in of foreign capita is stressed in two letters as follows "From the standpoint of a manu facturer, and as an advocate of ? frreater Conway, I think that w< should fall in line with other liv< towns and induce local capital t< branch out in other profitable enter prises, as welL as to attract foreipn capital to invest here. To do tMc factory sites should be made avail able as near town as possible and ad joining the railroad, where there i v E RHPP 1 f* fl'K/1^ iM'in * ample room for side tracks." "Advertise, get outside Capital in and get inside capital working together with capital from the outside, in such manufacturing enterprises as will be most profitable to our Town and County." Another member sounds the note of optimism as follows: "We should, all of us, practice and ( preach optimism in this time of general pessimism. There are many things that could happen to bring the Country into a much worse condition. Lets ,quit whimpering for | help and square up our shouklers and win this fight for the South, the richest part of America." A well known manufacturer of the town outlines a program of co-operation between the town and county in the following program: "Small towns to a greater extent than cities are dependent upon the : surrounding- country for their support prosperous- country- districts adjacent to the small town spells prosperity for the town which after , all is only the business house of the country surrounding it, therefore, I would suggest a closer affiliation with the country people, to the end , that they may take a greater pride in and receive greater benefits from the town, and the latter may be accomplished by encouraging them to ! build up their country districts by 1 improving their schools, their roads. their farms, their stocks and last ; and most important of all their pro- < gency. The latter will improve, of ; course, with improved living condi- l tions arul a keen sense of parental 1 responsibility in protecting children i from those surroundings that are 1 hot beds for malaria, hookworm and other ailments that blight "so many country children. This is some job. Information, plus agitation creates public sentiment and public sentiment casually brings resylts. A county 'wide "get together" with good speakers to emphasize tho points above referred to, to my way of thinkifiir would be commendable." This is a copy of a letter from one of our business men of Conway. DECLARES MUCH MONEY IS LOST New York.?Loose business practices throughout the country in recent months have led to the loss of $250,000,000 through the cancellation of orders for merchandise, it was declared here in a statement by H. F. Barker, an official of the National Association of Credit Men. , Barker, who is chairman of the cooperation and credit methods execu, tive committee of the association, declared that a surprising lack of "moral . fibre" has been revealed in a survey of the cancellation practice and I that of "indefinitely holding up orders for later instructions." During recent months, when mar I kets were depressed, Mr. Barker said, . other "questionably" practices were 1 commonly resorted to, including neg,*lect of purchase agreements when I commodities could be sold at higher 0 prices. This lack of good faith caused q enormous injury to business, he de. clared. n o The former German kaiser is com pelled to ppy.tiw Dut<|h government - taxes on ifan\4comelof 1,500,000 s guilders' p6i;( \ ' | TH?

Mr. Westr bury had about $3,000 stock and Mr. McDuffie had about an $8,000 stock. Mr. McDuffie owned both store build* ings, which were adjoining. He car* ried a small amount of insurance on the building and had no insurance on his stock of goods. His net loss is about $15,000. Mr. Westbury carried insurance on his storo. ntiH his not. loss is not considerable. The postoffice was in the store. His office supplies were in his safe, however, L.ni there 'was no money or stamps lost. The fire originated in the Westbury store, it is said, and it is not known how it started. A combination grocery store and beef market operated by B. P. Cobb, was destroyed by fire here yesterday morning about 5 o'clock. Tnis building was owned by Frank Huggins. The stock and the building had some insurance on them. The fire department was called out and it was confined to this one building.?News and Courier. Mr. Westoury, mentioned in the ibove article, is originally from this county. He went to Hamer some/ears ago, and since that time has :>een engaged in the mercantile busiless there. He owns one or two farms ; in this county, and makes visits here looking after this property.?Ed. STANDARD SIZES OF PACKAGES The Bureau of Markets of the i United States Department of Agri-; culture, in its efforts to bring: about standardization of shipping containers for fruits and vegetables, is recommending standard sizes of three of the most common types of packages. These are the hamper, the round stave basket, and the market basket. These recommendations provide not only standard sizes but standard dimensions, and it is the intention of the department to fix standards which will be readily distinguishable from each other by the average buyer. There are at present a great many containers of different sizes which are so nearly the same in appearance that they are a never-ending source of fraud. By a slight modification in construction it is possible to make a 28-quart hamper which looks so yearly nice a full hushel hamper as to deceive the purchaser, who is defrauded out of a half peck. ? o Since the be^innin^ of the world war the surplus female population of the world has risen from about 5,000,000 to 15,000,000.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL RUNNING BEHIND Horry County Should do Her Part in This Work?Play Ground Equipment. Unless we all wake up and Ret busy this county, of all the counties in tut* staie, win lan in its obligation and turn its back on the "Greatest Mother" in the world, at a time she is planning constructive health betterment for all her children. A. E. Goldfinch, Chairman of the fifcli Red Cross Roll Call says he finds real interest in the hearts of the people, and no thought of giving up this great work, but just now a certain slowness in response, both on the part of the workers and membership renewals which he believes is due to exhaustion as a result of the fair. It has been decided to extend the Roll Call throughout next week and he pledges his renewed effort and calls on all the citizens to rally to the support of this grat benefactor. Flay Ground Equipment.It has been arranged that all that part of the proceeds remaining here, which is over half, will be applied to funds for purchase of play ground equipment so greatly needed by our school children for their health and happiness. The quota is small but we are not yet half way. Boost the play ground fund. Join the Red Cross and get two other members yourself. It is easy. We are financially better off than other parts of the state. Let's make a thank offering to the Red Cross and brfng health to our County. Do it now! REMEDY WHEN HENS START EGO EATING Eating eggs sometimes becomes a aerious vice in a flock, the fowls becoming very fond of eggs when they have learned to eat them. The habit spreads from fowl to fowl and unless checked will often spread through the entire flock. Egg eating usually begins through accident by eggs being broken oi frozen. See that the nests jure properly supplied with straw or other nesting material and have | them darkened, so that if the eggs are accidentally broken the fowls will not be likely to discover it. Supply plenty of lime in the form of oyster shells, bone or similar sub: stance to insure a firm shell. As soon |as it is discovered that a fowl has ! formed the habit, the fowls should be removed to prevent the spread of the vice. Once formed, it is difficult to eradicate, and the safest remedy is the death penalty, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. I Fowls sometimes pluck feathers S from themselves and .from each oth er. This is often caused by too close 'confinement, by the presence of insect pests or by improper feeding. When some of the fowls of a flock have formed the habit slightly a wide range with a change of diet, including a pisupply of animal feed, and frel^oiil'.vft'om insect .'ttfets, will usually c&rtect all, see that fileWty of inducement to exercise. If the habit becomes well formed it is very troublesome and may necessitate the killing of some of the fewls in order to stop it. o Nearly all of the American col; l??e? and universities have provisions i! establish war memorials in honoi ('of th$ir dead. > ?v * * ' .,? * . ?
