PROTECT COHON
FROM LOSSAGE
Don't Let it Take the Weather
as it Wlil Lose in
Weight
DIFFERENCE STATED
IN THIS RESPECT
Where 'Bales Are Stored in
Warehouses and Left Out
to Weather.
Clemson College, Nov. 8.?Farmers,
protect your cotton from weather
damage. Don't leave it in the open.
Store it in a warehouse, or under
other suitable cover.
A series of experiments conducted
recently by the Bureau of Markets
have shown that a bale of cotton
placed out in the open, flat on the
ground with no covering, was damaged
to the extent of 370 pounds!
the end of eight months. An-J
other bale, placed on edge, with no
further protection, lost 107 pounds.
A bale on edge and turned over once
i\ week lost 110 pounds. A bale J
7/aeed on timber off the ground and
tuVned once a week lost 41) pounds,
and a bale placed on timber and covered
with tarpaulin lo^t hut 11
pounds. A warehouse bale of cotton
during the same period lost only ono
pound.
M t ^>0 >y<)0 know that hi many install
C6s the total cost of warehousing
cotton, including insurance, is no
greater than the fire insurance rate
alone on exposed cotton. Do you
know that it will be much easier for
you to obtain loans from the bank
on your cotton if'you have it stored
in a warehouse?
Damage in one season alone from
'exposure of weather has been esti
muted at $70,000,000.00. Much of
the lower grade cotton, of which
/ tht?re is now such an over supply, is
the direct result of improper handling
-of the crop after it is ginned.
The proper place for cotton after it
is baled is in a warehouse of approved
type. Not only is it protected
from weather damage there, but the
saving in fire insurance alone, from
the charges made on unstored cotton,
is usually sufficient to pay all
the cost of, warehousing.

PRIZE HOUSE FOR '
CONWAY MARKET
Delayed Temporarily on Account
of High Cost on Labor
and Materials
ITS LOCATION
MAKES PROBLEM
Committee Hopes to Be Able
to Begin Operations and
Finish Next Spring.
I Some weeks ago the Conway
Chamber of Commerce took up the
; matter of construction of a prizehouse
for use of the tobacco market.
This matter was referred to the committee
on imrketintf, of which Mi-.
W. A. Freeman is chairman. While
very anxious to begin work 'at once
on the construction of this building,
members of the committee have felt
that the present unsettled condition
did not warrant their proceeding too
hastily. . At Friday night's meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce the
marketing committee submitted a report
which sets forth its position on
the question of prizehouse construction.
In view of. the general interest in
this matter, we are printing below
this committee's report:
"Complying with your request for
a wrltlt n VbOi't of the progress made
by the marketing committee of the
Chamber of Commerce in its consideration
of the matter referred to
i it, especially the /project of building
i a tobacco storage house, we beg to
j report that in informal conversations
i with members of the committee and j
othcrfl, it lias seemed to be the gen |
(oral opinion that it would be wise to
I wait until about the first of the new
| year before undertaking the conj
struction of a house for this purpose.
The/ importance, or to put it
more strongly, the necessity, of some
building for this purpose, is recognized.
At the same time there are
difficulties in the 'way that have to
be considered.
"The first consideration has been,
and is, the proper location of the
packing house. It is desirable, of
course, to locate it where a railroad
siding will be available for its use.
This is almost impossible at the present
time, and in the hope that some
additional railroad facilities may be
obtained in the near future, the members
of your committee have thought
it well to postpone action until we
have more definite information in this
regard.
"Lumber and other buiklSii^ hiat'
rials have been extremely high Until
very recently, as well as labor, bui
these are rfow rapidly coming1 doWli
to a more reasonable basis, and it is
the hope of the committee that we
will soon be able to build at a very
reasonable cost.
"Reports from tobacco markets
now cpdn not encouraging as to
price, and li iff entirely possible that
ithe crop in our territory will be
#te^.tly reduced in 1021. The recent
de<f*iVie in the* priC6 .of cotton, however,
well as the menAC6 of the
boll w<?6ViI, may influence the farmers
to pfaftt the usual crop Of tobacco.
As the beds are'planted in January
and February, it will be possible
to obtain fairly accurate estimates of
the crop that wiff be put out.
"We believe thaft conditions are \
such that building cart be done to ad- ]
vantage in the spring, #f?d a decision r
to build then will give time to 1
have the building ready foY the com- (
ing season, and in view of t!f*e above *
facts we recommend the building be 1
for the present postponed. At the <
same time we wish to emphasize" our t
belief in the necessity for a buildYtig I
of this kind, and we urge upon the <
members of the Chamber of Com- t
rnerce and other business men of
Conway their thoughtful consideration
on the project with a view to
having the building completed in ample
time for next season if conditions I '
as they develop in the next few 1
weeks indicate, as we believe they J
will, the necessity for the increased 1
facilities." <

GOVERNOR COOPER
... INDORSES SEALS
Columbia, S. C.?(Governor Cooper
has issued a proclamation indorsing
the Christmas Seal sale and calling
on the people of South Carolina to
respond liberally to the appeal of the
South Carolina Tuberculosis associate.
The proclamation follows in
full:
"Whereas, 1,800 citizens of the
State of South Carolina were stricken
with tuberculosis in the year 1919
and the economic loss amounted to
millions of dollars, to say nothing of
the untold suffering.
"Whereas, it is the duty of all the
citizens of our state to do everything
within their power to prevent
tlie future spreading among our people
of this disease, which science has
proven to be preventable and curable;
and
"Whereas, the South Carolina Tu
berculosis Association han designated
the first week in December as "Tuber
culosis Week," and will call upon the
people of our state for financial aid
through the purchase of tuberculosis
Christinas Seals and Bonds.
"Now, therefore, I, Robert A, Cooper,
governor of South Carolina, do
heartily endorse this effort on the
part of tl.e South Carolina Tuberculosis
Association, and do call upon the
ftoVple of South Carolina to respond
libtffwHy to their appeal."

December 15th as to the Side

COMMITTEE HAS
NOT BEEN IDLE
After Some Delay Matter of
Removing Tracks Takes
Step Forward.
As was stated in an articlo in this
paper some weeks ago, the concensus
of opinions among the business men
of the town of Conway is that one of
the most pressing needs of the town
is to have the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad tracks removed from Main
street, and to have this railroad make
its entry into the town in such a
way as to afford ample side track
racnmes tor manufacturing and inlustrial
plants. This popular sentiment
was indicated by a number of
letters received by the secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce in response
to a request' for an expression

on needed improvement for the
.own.
The Conway Chamber of Commerce

Mir-3 Kannie Weinsiock, an accomplished

Both are distinctive artists, just as is
Oyapela. The program offered by
these three young ladies is one of
exquisite charm. It is truly a "different"
program.
Oyapela fascinates and charms her
hearers the moment she steps upon
the stage. She' is a splendid story
teller and is keenly in love with her
work, which she feels is educational
as well as entertaining. And when
she sings, in her native dialect, the
primitive, weird chants and melodies
of her people, her hearers are carried
away by the uhi<iue art of this young

The costuming is beautiful, and
Oyapela, in native garb, makes a
most beautiful appearance. The whole
entertainment is distinctively an

It is understood that the' Cbflmboi*
of Comrneree has in view amort# Ihe
mftfiy things ft Intends to do for CoM*
was the removal o fthc railroad track
from the main street of the town,
where it has been ever ?ince Horry
county had a railroad.
There is nothing definite that can
)>e stated at this time as to the removal
of the tracks at any early date.
I but there are hopes expives'*ed by
t!hose who are behind this mo^nient
and it may be that relief fronH this
troiYble may be obtained befoift? another
year runs out.
When the railroad wrta first built
into Conway the people were so grlad
to have this means of transportation
that they' were willing for it to be
placed anyvVhere. Since that time the
vacant lots on each side of the track
have been covered by valuable buildings
and their value reduced by reason
of the frequent and severe vibration
which takes place when Ionic
trains pass over the streets.
There is another thing which
should make the removal of the railroad
track a necessity, and that is
tho keeping of the business offices
and the stocks of merchandise, as
well as office furniture and store
equipment in clean and sanitary condition.
The trains passing through
the streets deposit smoke and smoot
over everything and adds to the dust
that is always flying.
There is nothing more important
for the owners of property and the
lessees of store buildings than the
removal of the railroad track to some
other part of the town.

of Tabor, N. C., was arrested
here early yesterday morning in his
H>tei room by Sheriff Long, the
'iar.'ve being larccny in connection
witn tl.o robbei> of the Farmer; and
Merchants Hank of Tabor, N. C.
About one week ago the Farmers
Merchants Bank of Tabor was
robbed of about $.',.().()0() in Liberty
bonds and war Savings stamps. and
I it was the result of detectives in the
lease that led to Grainger's arrest.
I About two months ago Mr. Grainier
came to Latta ostensibly for tho
purpose of purchasing and operating
a movie theatre. He had purchased
a building' here and had had it reno:
vated and was showing: pictures from
J a very good circuit. Recently he is
said to have deposited large sums of
' war savings stamps and Liberty
I bonds in each of the banks here, approximately
$13,000 worth of Liberty
bonds and war savings stamps said to
have been found in his trunk at the
hotel after his arrest. # . Mr.
Grainger was married last
( Sunday to a young lady of a promi
neat North Carolina family, and she
i was with him yestevday morning at
ithe time of his arrest.
' (The foregoing news item from
; Latta, S. C\, follows a report current
about the streets hero recently that
one of the banks at Tabor hud gone
into the hands of receivers, or had
otherwise been closed. No confirmation
of such a report could be made
after investigation; and it is supposed
that the report was caused by
the theft'of Liberty bonds.)

Saturday in Conway at the teachers
