VOLUME XXXV.
NEW YEAR HAS GREAT
PROMISE
t
For Progress and Improvement
in Conway and Horry
County
GENERAL AWAKENING
SHOULD TAKE PLACE
The Horry Herald Will Stand
for all Movements for Prog
ress as in the Past
ji
r
The New Year has gieat thing-;
in store for Conway provided the
Chamber of commerce and other
agencies, now at work, will continue
efforts. There i:; no sign of the
slackening of effort to carry out
plans which have boon formulated
for the construction of prize houses
for the now tobacco crop, the removal
of the railroad tracks from
Main Street, the providing of better
facilities for the shipping of produce
to and from this point and
other jxnnts in the county, the continuation
of the work for bettei
draiitftge and the building of boUcr
ftreets and sidewalks, and improvements
also aic>ng other linss numbering
a dozen or more.
The organizations or the individuals
working for these thing.1; ne?d
the help of the entire people. They
have been getting support in a way, I
i but hardly the zeal that would 1)31
expected if the people realize the j
importance of those things to'them j
and their posterity. It is not too i
late to wake up in this respect and
lay plans for bringing* in the aid j
and of cveiv man and]
woman In the town. Hie civ!c |
league of the City promises to
. active in th:* coming year, there is
no reason why they should not be.
The war has been over so long that
itnany people seem to have frogotton
it? During tho war there Was no
'tirrrc- for anything but war work, especially
on the part of the regular
^orgKTiizationg. Now it is high time
that rvry atom of zeal and enthusiasm
was put forth in building ou?*
town.
On the whole the year of 1921
should bring many changes for the
better iboth in the town and in the
county of which the town is the
county seat. So far as this paper
-- > - * ? 4U:
is concerned it promises evcryiunin
that is within its power to aid
any movement which means propress
and improvement here and in
the county. Those who wish to use
the paper for such purposes aive
free to do it at any time. They know
this too and have learned it froyi
past experience with the attitude
<of the Herald.
GOOD LIVE STOCK "
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
I .
In ;a message to the'directors afid
members of the Wisconsin Livestock
Breeders' Association, Andrew W.
Hopkin*, until recently its secretary,
makes 'jfiie following statements: "It
truly is-a noteworthy fact that where
live-stodk farming has attained a
high standard of perfection there also
has citizftigihip attained an equally
'high standard. t An intelligent contact
with farm animals always has
and always will insure quality in the
man; .and aiear kinship with the
better types surely bring forth fruits
not yet compared. General education,
honesty of purpose, righteous
'living, culture, And religion have <
made the most progress in those
communities in *diich intelligent <
r : i ?i -
hiuck larminx nas nisen most general- 1
ly pursued." y
The United . States Department of <
Agriculture . has received a copy of <
Mr. Hopkins' recommendations for <
the future development of the live ]
stock industry in Wisconsin. These <
recommendations pOijit out that i
stockmen may well seek to increase I
their returns from live stack (1) by 1
discarding inferior animals, (2) by i
strengthening their organizations, >
(3) by co-operating when ncessary in c
buying and selling, (4) by combating t
disease, (5) by supporting'boys' and c
girls' club work, (G) by studying s
live stock and milk marketing, (7) :
by insisting upon more stabilized i
markets, and (S) working for the (
proper relation between the price
paid the produce)* and that paid by'
the consumer.

IN SEAL CONTEST
9
Starting with a rush in the early
stages of the contest between the
schools of Horry County in the kale
of "T. B." Seals, the Savanah BlutT
school promptly took the lead from
all competitors and maintained that
position throughout the entire campaign.
This l!-,tle institution, located
about four miles from Conway,
made a most enviable record in the I
sale of these seals, nine thousand j
and four hundred having been sold j
by teachers and pupils. It is to be j
doubted if a school in South Carolina
as small as the Savannah Bluff
School equalled this record.
The principal of the school, Mr.
Hal King, and his assistant, Miss
Maud Anderson, did splendid work
personally, and in organizing their
pupils for the sale of stamps. They
were inspiied by the double motive
of assisting in combating the white
plague and at the same time winning;
for the school the handsome
Pathe Phon:graph ofYe.cd by the
Kingston Furniture ompany. This
instrument will be an attractive a:l#1*4-f

school and its mu. ic will doubtless
repay teachers and pupils for the
energy displayed.
Many other schools in Hoiry
County participated in the contest
with distinction to themselves and
with the zeal which produced tangible
results in financing the work
thn South Carolina Anti-Tubercuiosis
Association.

CREDIT FOR FAtitttitit*
IS IJttGKNT NjfcfiD NOW
' ?
Washington, D. C. ? One of th6
national problems1 demanding special
attention at this time is that or shortSrme
personal credit for farmers, in
the opinion of the secretary of agriculture,
expressed in his annual report
to the president.
"It is generally recognized," he
said, "tTiat one of the problems de
manding special attention at this
time is that of short-time personal
credit for farmers. In ttye cas? of a
man who has paid for his farm, the?
supplying of personal credit raise#,
as a rule, no seHotfs question. In the
case of the rente*, however, and of (
the young farmer wfto1 is just starting
out as an owner, the* question of short \
time credit is a difficult One. In such i
cases credit can and should be based,
to a considerable extent, upon charac- ^
ter and productive ability. To deny
credit to the honest, ambitious and
sneregtic farmer because' lie has little
tangible secuyity to offer, is to
lessen the productivity of available
capital and to discourage a man who.
n the future should be a land-owning (
farmer. While the bankers are, in (
nany cases, showing a commendable ]

Washington.?Effoits t? colonize
the South with good people from
Holland just at a time when the immigration
bill to, excludc many undesirables
from other sections i:> before
Congress, is of special interest,
and the following letter received in
Washington by some of the Southern
Senators will be decidedly so.
The letter is fiom The Hague:
"We are glad to see that you tak"!
a great interest in the immigration
of Hollanders and that you are
ready to put ux in communication
with parties in your State who wish
to locate Hollanders in South Carolina.
"We should be very glad indeed to
have the addresses of reliable people

country who have decided to settle

"We arc already in correspondence;
with the Commissioner of Agriculture,
Commerce and Industries, Coin
mhia, S. C., and recently received
a- number of publications from the
agricultural and immigration depart
ment of the Atlantic Coast Line.
"To avoid the possibility of a!
misunderstanding we must respect-!
fully point out to you, however, that
cur immigrants are rather an independent
sort of people, and once
they have made Up their rninds^ to i
go to a certain State it is impossible!
to induce them to go to another, j
however premising the prospects |
may be. |
"Most of our farm emigrants who'
intend to start farming on their
own account we always advise fir. tj
to work as a farm hand during, say |
one or two years, to get aequainte 1
with the conditions of the new
land."
There is said t> be a splendid opportunity
in all of the Southern
States for the location of such colonies
of Hollanders. They make
I ideal citizens in eery way and are
much to be disired.

in medic.nl research work,

Dr. Rice siiicl his . trip through,
South America took hini up the Rio'
Nesro, the largest tributary hi the

here that lie. came in actual contact
with GuafidfibQ^s, a virtually unknown
tribe of cafniiba! Indians, who fo*'
seventeen days pursued his party
an effort to* cut tlveir return, \
The attack occuVred il). a Wifef spot
along the hanks 6i the Orinoca,
where Dr. Rice hacf ittade .camp the
night before. Two oT his Indian
guides had gone up tfie" ( river in a

when they saw something movif.g
aloYig the banks. Looking closer,
they perceived the forms df Indians
closing in on the camp, and hastily
turning about, hurried back t'o warn
the remainder of the party.
"A few moments after the guides' j
return,? Dr. Rice said, "the entire |
bank wan literally lined with them
who brandished bows about sevCti j
feet high, with arrows six feet long. | j
Just opposite me I saw one hugh ,

but the officers of the law manajred
the matter according to their best
judgement, and why should anybody
worry.
In the absence of Chi of Police
Smith, Mr. Till Johnson was appointed
to act with I). G. Hinson. the
other member of the force. Early
in the night some one reported to
the officers that moonshine was being
retailed or delivered to consumers
in rear of the stores rear the
Presbyterian Church. A number of
boys aided in the search for the
tH key which followed. It was

presence of the liouor in the town.

spending some further time in on-1
ticnt search, th-c bulk of the supply, j
apout five gallons, was found under J

church.
i .The Moonshine was left at the j
place where the owner had placed'

I appear to get it. But the right man
never ca^e to the surprise of the
policemen oirs of the men who had |

were doubtless warned t.h'>; tho nla?-:*'
was being watched and they did not
return to get it.
This five gallon can of moonshine
has a history behind it according to
?. story told by one of the officers,
This moonshine, according to the j
story, was made in the vicinity of
Little River. There it was stolen by
a man and while on his way to Conway
to deal it out, it was taken from
ihim b\f still another would bp ownnr. I
This third nljan succeeded in getting
to town witftjt>and had placed under
the church steps waiting- for a
chance to eliver it to the unduly
thirsty customers, wheri the officers
16fcated it and took it in.

all that it is, possible for tHffm
to do and yet thes3 violators. of the
law manage to get by with their
game. While this particular lot
was f? unci and taken< it is known
[that other quantities \Vcvre successfully
brought in and handled f>y
hlindtijrers during the Christmas holl'
days. The officers kne-v in sohlc

TEACHER'S IDENTITY
STILL UNSETTLED
Certificate Said to Have.Been
Filed Showing Marlboro
Man Different
J. S. VALIGHT WAS
CALLED AS WITNESS
Other Proof May oc Made Before
Trustees Can Make a
Positive Decision
Further interest was created in the
':ist few 'lays in the efforts ot the
trustees of Britfhtsville school in
Marlboro County to oust as principal
George C. Cannon, who was employed
by them to teach the school. The
trustees afterwards were informed
that Cannon had been convicted in
1915 at a trial in this County of
'vrand larceny and they forthwith
took stops to have him re^i^n. lie
resisted this which resulted in a public
hearing: recently.
One who was present at the hearing
the first of week before last and
| heard J. S. Vaught testify said'that
Mr, Vaug'ht was positive in his identification,
that it appeared that Mr.
Vaught actually knew Mr. Cannon f
ui"/l that Mr. Crnnon knew Mr;
Vaught*. Nevertheless, Cannon stilL
insisted that he was not the same
man and so fMi' as cou'd be learneJ'N
Uv^t week the hearing wa.s still pending
and no definite decision had been
i rendered. In the meantime, late
l ne\Vft from Hcnnettsville is to tHo effect
th.'.i Cannon has secured a cer-'
tificate signed by many citizens of
Horry County, including the Clerk
and Sheriff of the County, and which
is to the effect that he has never been
convicted of any offense and is a man
of exemplary character. The Hera III
failed to see a copy of such a certificate
but has arranged to see the
\ Clerk of the Court to find out if any
[ such Certificate has been filed by
[ tho man in Marlboro. As stated in
. our last week's issue, the records at
- the Courthouse show that George
, Cannon (the initial "C" being left
i out) together with two brothers,
i Jn11 Cannon and Walker Cannon,
. were ctiiiVictod of grand larceny,* tlui
i charge being that they had taken
goods from the store of W. Boyd
, Jones and had been caught after accreting
quantities of the goods not
only at places near the Fair Grounds
here, but at their home in the country.
- - ' \ The
question the trustees aro ?till
asking is, is this man they employed
the' same who was tried and convicted.
'rhe man himself says he is not.
His attorney says he is not. Judge
Vaught says he is. Still the matter
appears to be in doubt, -*
OFFERS SCHEME TO
HELP LIBERT Y BONDS
Washington.'?"Flotation of a bond
'Msue into which would be refunded
practically the entire bonded indebtedness
of the American government
was proposed to the ways and means
committee by Jules W. Bache, a
New York banker, as a means of
equalizing the bureau of taxation

it was a scale tax of 1 per

As regards an income tax, Mr.
Uache rccommcnded the enactment
of il flllf nftVMiol r -
- ui o per cert on
all incomes with an exception of
$5,000. Taxes on incomes below
$5,000, he declared, were small and
did not come from persons from
whom the government should seek
revenue. He declared that the super
income or sur taxes had resulted
in driving wealthy men to invest all
of their money in tax exempt securities
and in "causing every cross
roads town in the country to issue
a lot of securities that some day
will cause a lot of grief."
