Beautiful residences add greatly! in the make-up of the town. Make yours just as nice as you can. What profits one will profit tliej other, unless vou see it the wrone! way. O What is that beautiful little hedge' worth that is growing* in front of i the rest room ? o ! Many of us act the wrong thing at the wrong time, and never find it out until it is too late. It is human nature to make mistakes. o How delightful it is when we can find it possible to lay all our mistakes to somebody else! And this is human nature, too. o Conway is ranked as being among the few small towns that are beauti-J ful. Let's make it still more that way. o The railroad still runs on Main street, but will it always. TV; railroad company would find it much to their advantage to have it somewhere else. o Horry county ham should become known as a great delicacy on all the markets of this country. Farmers and live stock raisers can make it so. * o Farmers had better do nothing rather than planting their whole crop in cotton. There is always too much cotton to supply the demands of the world. o Some landlords advise the pirating bf no cotton at all this year, but mnv l?r> vntlmv fnv Tim - tcr way is for all planters to cut clown their average about half.

FIELD DAY ON APRIL EIGHTH Perhaps the Largest Gathering Ever Held Here of Kind PRIZES OFFERED CREATES INTERESl Events for the Days Carefully Chosen?Concert Band Will Take Part. Indications are that Friday an Saturday, April 8th and f)th, wi bring to Conway the largest gathei ing of teachers and puoils of th schools "of the county that has eve been assembled here. On these tw days will be held the athletic an oratorical contest participated in b representatives of schools through out the county. Prior to the wa this event was an annual event o considerable importance in scho< circles. 1 he plan to receive the.-' events has met with general favo among teachers, pupils and patron of the schools, and the outlook i bright for the forthcoming event; The committee in charge of th contests has arranged a prograi ?f activities embracing examination of some of the principal studies a the class room and athletic event; which will give to every boy ;m jgirl in the county the opportunit to exhibit his or her physic? power. The events have been caro .fully chosen by a competent commit {tee with the result that Ih^ve wil <he no contest which will produce unnecessary physical strain. Those who have attended these meeting* in the past will testify to the thrill which comes from wit| nessing the play of supple muscles I. in clern limbed young bodies, as !they move with the crack of the * pistol, into the spectacular one hundred vard dash, or as they speed bird-like, r.vor the hurdles in the two hundred and twenty yard event No one who has witnessed the pole vault will ever forget the classic I grace with which adolescent competitors rush toward the bar, lightly balancing their bamboo pole, and then skim through the air across the bar, some ten or twelve feet from the ground. Jo the victors will go the spoils. The 'committee in charge has arranged an attractive collection of j prizes for first and second places in the athletic contests and handsomely embossed ribbons will be j awarded to the winners in the literary competition. An attractive feature of the two days session will be the exhibits of the work of the schools. It is known that many of the schools oi the county have spent considera bio time in preparation of these ex hibits, and they will doubtless prove interesting to the public. In keeping with the present day program of conservation of bird life, there will be prizes offered for the best bird house made by a pupil of any school of the county and ex liihited during the coming meet. The Conway Concert Band, under the matchless leadership of Conductor Shell, will enliven the occasion with patriotic and popular aires. Any teacher or pupil desiring; any further information about these contests should write at once to Supt. M. J. Bullock for a copy of the rules governing same. JAMES HTRTCE IS CORRECTED For Errors Found in His Recent Article on Free Range JEREMIAH SMITH CLEARS THE RECORD No man in better Position to Give True Facts of Free Range HistoryCon way, S. C., March 28. 1921. Editor Herald:? 1 notice an article in the News J r-% ^ ami courier ot the 22nd inst., written by Mr. James Henry Rice on the subject of "Free Range" and its history as to Horry County. I will thank you Tor a small space in your valuable paper to rail his attention to some facts which lie fails to recognize in his article. Mr. Rice was in error when ho says that the fir.it stock law was pa-sed in 1878. The fir;t \ct in re lation to this law was parsed in 1S81 (or possibly 1882). The writer was there as a member of the House from this county, and while 1 do not remember the author the i ill. I know that it was championed by Hon. E. I> Murray, a *''>un:; Attorney from Anderson county. Mr. Rice is again in error when he asserts that no county was exempt under the first Act. The conn tv of Horry was exempted under this I Act. The Lumber river, Little Pee I Dee river. Mull creek. Princess creok land the Waccamaw river were de clave'1 to l?e lawful fences. 1 have been a resident of this county all of my life of eighty years, and 1 have no knowledge of the campaign to which Mr. Rice refers 'land in which Hon, J? JV Scarborough '' made a personal fight to enact thi ! stock law for Horrv countv. 1 dr i emember ouite well, however, that an election was he'd several years I att'o in which our peop'e "otcd about I nine to one in favor of free ran pre. f 11 is likewise well kno.vu that Mr. ^ Scarborough served in tho Senate one term, pnd he m.-vln no offort tc ? change the law, is h;? evide.iOy re-?o^ni/ed the prm'*: pl?v< of seK-^rovei ment and < a.rht i > carry ?ut iht vri'l of Ms i?e-*>i?'o. In fmhjfizi'vr Mr. rl. 11. 0 >vei r.u 1ms I'i.u'ht for the stock haw Mr. Ric< v,e?rleel s 1o stMte that Mr. O'ivev wa: careful to ret a favorable election h f (ieorrvetotvn before he attempte( to p:'\ve them the stock law. In otho \r words, he rcoft'ni'/od th.e democrati< principles when dealing with his owi n^oplo, and >et, lie dared to "hut in" and become a nartv to thrustim this measure upon the people o another comity ap;amst their ex d pressed will Is this what ou II friend Ivi^e calls "moral courajre o the highest order?" Ts this th e mitvhty David who "fought Goliat! r to his knees?" o The most serious error Mr. Kir (1 makes in his article is when he fail y to recognize any issue in the Iforr . . . /' 1 AilA 4 (< r../% 1 campaign 01 i;?z;u rxn-pi ur r ranpre." lln seems to forget, or a least docs not know, that Hon* " county was dominated by autocrnti e dictation, which, deprived us of th r ritrht of suffrage in the settlenien |S of* our own economic affairs. 8 By this action both stock law ad 3* vacates and free rangers were dif 0 franehised alike, and all our peopl n forced to dispense of their surplu j slock immediately when there wa ' j scarcc'y anv market for it. In ad *? dition to this they were forced t ** I surrender their inherent rift'ht o y local self-frevernment. The self-rc spectinpr, liberty loving. n'?tri^ti ~ | Democrat** of H?*rrv refused 1o m?'k :"jthe sacrifice without a protest. Bu 1 when I try'to make the law conforr I Lo the expressed will of the people ! Mr. Kice says that 1 "should have been in better company." If that be true, then when oui Revolutionary ancestors were fight Ing at Bunker Hill and enduring the hardships at Valley Forge, in ordc: o establish a system of govern men 1 by the people, of the people an;' for the people, they should have been in better company. If I am ir bai company now, 1 was a traitor when fighting for the same principles as a Confederate soldier. Our boys who sacrificed their lives in thwarting Germany's effort to force her autocracy upon the balance of the world, and thus made possible a Democracy for the peoples of all nations, were likewise in bad company. If that be true, then let us' take down from our decorated walls the portraits of Washington, Lee and Woodjow Wilson, and substitute those of King George, Sherman and Kaiser Bill. No, I would not be surprised if a natural-horn idiot or a raging maniac could not see any issue in that last Horry campaign but the "free range." But when a man of I the intellectual calibre of James Henry Rice fails to recognize that! the time-honored principle of local self-trovernment was involved, his] position is too mysterious for my comprehension. ?Jeremiah Sr.iith. J o NOTICE TO TEAC HERS AND TRUSTEES. About half of the schools received ".nd spent their Rural Graded and ExIt '2nsinn money before Christmas tlv vmain?ng schools have .just been unified by card that their monev fron* hese funds has been sent to this cf 'ice by the State Superintendent o '.'ducat'on. These cards have been misunderstood in many ca es, beau e, since there was absolutely n 'oubt that this money would come bo County Board financed the schools to the amount thai; it Knew 'bat each school would receive from >no or the other of these funds, and the money was, in most cases, spent before Christmas, a'ong with the lo:al funds of the district. According to present indicationthe State Superintendent of Education believes that he will only have sufficient money to pay about SO per ent of the Equalizing money asked j ror by each school in the State. The (other 20 per cent will undoubtedly be taken care of by the next Legislature as there can be no fight next year or? the so-called "bonus" for teachers, though there was no such thing as a bonus last year. One-fourth of the loney in some schools comes from this source, in others, one-half, and still in theirs, more than threefourths. The teacher will receive, this year, all of the local taxes that are paid, and all of the Rural Graded or Extension money, as the pay warrants come in. Besides this they will receive approximately 80 per cent of the Equalising money asked for in June. However I am now ami shall continue advancing to the teach ers as far as safe business principals and ability to secure the money will permit me to do. This advance will be taken care of by the Equalizing money. The Equalizing schools will not be allowed any incidental money fro;: the regular school funds (includ'nr the first local tax of S mills) or statf aid as has been the case heretofore. ^ i 4-v.? ?"5U|)l.

Superintendents did their best to get incidental money included in the ap propriation for Equalling Aid, but the legislators this year made it plaitthat they were only appropriating money for salaries. Equalziing schools that have had incidental expanses this year will have to make arrangements to pay these amount* from sources out-ide of those recjuir-' "h1 under the Equalizing Law. No ncidental or other money must be ir. luded in salary warrants for teach ?rs of Eaualizing schools. No c'a-s"oom will receive Equalizing mc no; whose average attendance falls below 15.

The title of it is "Treasure Island," by Robert Louis Stevenson. Among the greatest novels ever written, is this story which will go down among the ages to come, as it is now, a master work of fiction, but told with such reality of expression and nicety of coloring that no one could doubt it being true, though strange and wonderful. Do you like adventure stories?' No? Then you are missing a lot, aren't you ? 1 Remember the thrills you got when you first read "Treasure Island"?

There is no delivery expense to be considered in the cost of doing business and the idea is to pass this saving on to the consuming public. The store was formerly occupied by the Wiristead Furniture Store. Before the new grocery was opened for business this store was thoroughly overhauled as to inside fixtures, new shelves provided and the paint brush liberally applied. The store is fitted out with modern cases and fixtures, and with the new and varied stock of fancy groceries just opened up on display the store presents a very handsome apearance on a prominent corner of the business section. ????? i) NOTICE. % The County Board of Commissioners requests that pJI claims aga'rus^ the County be filed before the Tuesday of the Board mect'ng.?adv It CLASSIFIED COLUMN WANTED Man with team or auto to sell McConnon's products direct to the .consumer in this county.
