SUNDAY LAWS
GET ATTENTION
Complaint Raised to Selling
Cool Drinks and
Cream
THE LAW IN FULL
, AS TO SABBATH
Restaurants are Not Prohibited
From Running on Sundays
and Furnishing Food.
i
It came out last Sunday that complaint
has boon made to rural policeman,
I). Frank Bellamy, regarding
the sale of ice cream and cool drinks
on the strand at Myrtle Beach, on
Sundays.
The policeman and also constable
Owens, of Socastee, wore at Myrtle
Beach last Sunday looking; i 11 to the
conditions there. They did not take
any action as they wished to give all
parties a fair show in the matter and
(hey wished to consult with others before
going further than looking1 the
situation over.
Some time ago it is stated that a
merchant at one of the villages alorr
the coast (not at Myrtle Beach) had
been running his store wide open every
Sunday; and he had worked a
big Sunday trade when complaint was
made to the authorities and the store
was closed under order of the police.
Some shopkeepers at different places,
it is* said, have complained to the authorities
that if selling is to be allowed
at Myrtle Beach then tho same
thing must be allowed at any place in
the county.
The subject at Myrtle Beach is the

Sasser. They rent this concesssion
from the Myrtle Beach Farms
Company, so that the company of
which Mr. J as. E. Bryan is the manager,
has nothing to do with the manner
in which the stand is run. It is
located at the seaward end of the ."nno>:
to the Myrtle Beach Hotel, very
near the strand where bathers go in
and out. The annex is usually filled
with people at this season of the year
and the strand draws a good patronprre
from them, as well as from those
who are going and coming at almost
all hours. Many people visit Myrtle
Beach and do not register at the hotel
for meals, and to all such as these the
cool drink stand which has been run
down there for the past several years
has been like an oasis, especially the
ice cream.
For some time, however, the Sasser
iiros., have neon thinKing ot running
a restaurant at their place. As will
appear by reference to the statutes

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Editor Herald:
Perhaps the largest religious social
gathering that has ever been in Loris
took place last Thursday evening by
the Baptist Sunday School. About
the middle of April the two adult
c'asses, male and female, entered into
a contest. The class that made the
best average by June 1st was to be
served with ice cream by the other
class. The mens' class with Mr. W.
A. Prince as teacher, entered the contest
with only 31 on roll. The female
with Mr. J. M. Felder as teacher,
entered with 32 on roll.
When the contest closed the mens'
class had enrolled one hundred, the
womens' class had enrolled eighty,
and still this class was one ahead
in the average attendance. It was
decided later to serve the entire
school instead of the two classes only.
On last Thursday evening at the
ringing of the bell the people came
from every direction. The commit
toes seated them in groups. All of
the young people in one group. All
of the married folks in another, and
all of the children to themselves. A
count was taken by groups which
showed more than one hundred young
people and about, one hundred each of
parents and children, which gave a
total present of three hundred. An
appropriate program had been arranged,
consisting of solos, quartetts,
and recitations. Much credit is due to
those who took part and also to the
committee which served the cream.
Tt was a real feast and every one
seemed to en toy the occasion. The
good women furnished plenty of rich
j cake while the men furnished 28 gal'
Ions of eroom. The meeting was presided
over by the pastor, Rev. J. T.
Going.
The Baptist Sunday School now
numbers 285. A cordial welcome is
extended to all to be present every
Sunday morning at 10:00 A. M.

CABINETMAKER I
WANTS LOCATION
Investigates Conway as a Good i
Place for Such a
Business.
W. E. White, of Greenville, S. C?
a cabinet maker heard of Conway
way as a good place for establishing
a business. He wrote to the chamber
of commerce about the matter and 1
the chamber has answered his letter i
as follows:
"June 1<>, 11)21
"Mr. W. E. White,
"Greenville, S. C.
"Ho-.r Ml- Wlnin.
"Your letter of June 11 to Mr.
John C. Spivey has been referred
to us for attention. We are glad to
note that you are interested in Conway
as a possible location.
"So far, as we are informed, there
is at this time no cabinet-maker In
Conway.
"We are located on the Waccamaw
Uiver and have an eight foot channel
from here to (Jeorgetovn. Steamboat
connection with Georgetown is maintained
and several boats constantly
ply this river for business and pleasure
purposes. There ought to be a
very good opening in a boat-making
field.
"Pine and cypress are available in
unlimited quantities and at very
reasonable prices.
"Some months ago this community
made an effort to secure from the
Baptist denomination an Academy for
this section. At <hat time we prepared
a statement setting forth the advantages
to the community. We take
pleasure in inclosing herein a copy
of this statement for your infori

I "wo should !)C pleased to have you
come to Conway for a personal inspection
of its attractions. A visit
from you would be more convincing

WILL DEVELOP
HORRY COAST
There is persistent talk concerning!
the development of the coast as a j
seaside resort within a mile of Myrtle
Reach, and lying- north of that
place; where it is said that investors
living in Florence will build a hotel
and ten cottages, costing from two
to four thousand dollars.
It appears that they own a tract
of seashore land at that place and
will sell lots to those who wish to
own a seaside place.

CONWAY, S. O.. THURSDAY,
SKIPPERS CLEAR
BY JURY VERDICT i
!
On Charges of Having Beaten
Isadora Johnson in
Dog Bluff
PROSECUTOR IS
CONVICTED HERSELFj
Magistrate Court Disposes of
Affray Which Caused Excitement
Recently
The magistrate court at Conway
was engaged last Friday in the trial
of the cases growing out of the whipping
of Isa Johnson by the Sk;j>r>eri
fjmillv in RlufT* /? ? i ^ 1.! n
two weeks ago. The account as jvilj-!
lished then gave the name of the pro:--!
ecu tor as Isa Nobles, but it appears
that she has been maivled for jxnic
time u* Will Johnson and her name
appears in the court panels as Isadora
Johnson.
Thero was a cross ind?".tmenl., holh
fo the crime of assau"; and battery
of a high and aggravated nature?a
serious olFense when it comes up before
some of the judges of this State.
Isadora Johnson had indicted for this'
crime, members of the Skipper family
as follows: Laura Skipper, Daniel
Skipper, and their children, Bort Skip
per and Kufus Skipper, also Hattio
Elvis. In turn, Laura Skipper and
her associates had indicted Isadora
Johnson for the same crime of assault
and battery of a high and aggravated
nature.
When these cross indictments came
up before the magistrate last Friday
morning, he investigated a little and
found that the charge of assault and
battery of a high and aggravated nature
should be dropped, and the
charges on both sides changed into
disorderly conduct. Accordingly the
papers were amended so far as necessary
and both sides went to a jury
composed of J. M. Dusenbury, Mr.
Davis, A. B. Lundv. W. B. Chostnnt
Dow Jones, and Coy McKenzie. They
heard a number of witnesses testify,
and a part of this was said to be unfit
for publication. The terms hurled
back and forth among the rabble
when this thing occured would not do
to repeat in Sunday School according
to Norman Sessions who wrote down
what of it he could stand.
The jury returned a verdict of
guilty of disorderly conduct against
Isadora Johnson and she was fined
by the court the sum of $5.00. The
Skippers and Hattie Elvis were found
not guilty by the jury. In common
parlance the prosecutrix lost her
case, and the jury did not see fit to
punish those whom she had charged
lately with having administered to
her a severe beating.
JOINT SUNDAY
SCHOOL PICNIC
Announcement is made that the
three Suuday Schools of the town are
to have fa joint picnic on Tuesday,
June The place is yet to be
decided'upon. Will probably be at
HucksviTlQ, Murrells Inlet or Har
dee's Ferry.
One of the interesting features a*,
this gathering will be the "Sawine*
of Wood" by Messrs. Galdfinch and
Baker, under fhe direction of Mr.
Paul Quattlcbaum, Supt of the Presbyterian
school which won in tho
recent contest for membership. All
Sunday school members are requested
to prepare their baskets and
make arrangements to go on this
outing.

GREENWOOD SUNDAY SCHOOL
GIVES A "FISH FRY."
On Wednesday June 15, the Greenwood
Sunday School, near Toddville,
gave a fish fry which was a great
success. They selected Cat Island
on the Pee Dee as the place and we
don't believe they could have selected
a better one.
They came together in the early I
part of the day and lots of the youm? '
folks went in bathing while others!
prepared the fish and tables to have I
the spread. I have never seen aa j
many fresh water fish at one tim*
before and don't believe that it is
possible to prepare them so that they
would taste better. Mr. Williams i
and his good assistants Mr. Cook and,
Mr. Lovell had gone to no little
trouble to have everything iust riirht. i
Besides the fish there was plenty ofj
everything that a person might wish
for to eat. The good women had
spared no pains in doing their part
to make the "Fish Pry" a success.
Greenwood has caught the right
idea, they are working to build up
their Sunday School. The leaders
are willing to put something into
their Sunday School and we expect
to see Greenwood one of the very
best Sunday Schools in the county.
In fact they are already doing good
work and we feel sure that they nnHI
not be disappointed and will see
every member present at Sunday J
School who joined in the grandson*

rieavy rams loll almost all over
the entire County 011 last Sunday
relieving a dry period which has resulted
In injuring; the crops' to more
or "icss extent. In some ne'ghborhoods
the tobacco had commenced
to dry up at the bottom and 't
appeal's that one or two farmer*
had been compelled to gather some
of it to koep it from being entirely
lost. The clry weather had caused
a lot of the tobacco to mature too
[early, if it can be described that
| way. The rains may have the. effect,
in some places, of giving the
tobacco what is called a second growl'1
and the leaves as they will ripen
in other cases will not be as heavy
or as large.
The rain of last Sunday came a*
Conway between 2 o'clock and 3:3;,
and it was one of the heaviest w<*
have lu\<l here in a time. It measured
by the government guage 4.1 >
inches. It was one of the heavies'
falls for a long time, for the heav.
rain of Feb. 12th, 1920, only measured
4.01 inches, and that of Angus;
19th, 1920 was 4.9T> inches, not very
much more than this of Sunday.
Sunday's rain in one and one-hall
hours was 3.22 inches. The average
rainfall for a year is 40 inches. The
rainfall of last year was 5(5.11 inches.

CORN MAGGOT GETS POTATOES.
A very severe outbreak of the seed
| corn maggot, accompanied by a
fusarium rot, in seed potatoes is prevalent
in the Atlantic Coastal Plain,
!extending from North Carolina to the
.Eastern Shore of Maryland and
practically covering the important
.early potato regions in these States,
according to reports to the Bureau
of Entomology, United States Department
of Agriculture. Specialists
! of the Bureau of Plant Industry
look upon the situation as a very
complicated one, saying that it is evti
dent that while part of the decay
! followed the damage done by the
: seed corn maggot a good deal of
'the damage is traceable to other initial
causes, including especially the
I unusual seasonal conditions that pre(vailed
during the early part of
; March.
| The relative amount of insect 01*
funirus ininvv vnvinrl 111 /lit*<*?? ?? .f
stances. In some the insect damage
predominated, while in others it
was absent, and fungi seemed to be
j entirely responsible for the decay.
Among the secondary factors that
, aggravated the conditions were the
planting of seed pieces directly on
the fertilizer, the fact that seed
was sometimes cut and kept in barrels
for several days to two week>
before planting, and the use of
home stored northern seed as compared
with cold-stored northern
! seed.
Reports from New Jersey say
ithat the maggot has appeared in
large numbers over the southern
third of the State and has done
damage to poa and bean seed, to lettuce
plants, and in some in'stancen
to potatoes. The rapid advance of (he
| destruction from North Carolina,
| through Virginia and Maryland, is
thought to indicate tho possibility of
damage in tho early-trucking section
of Long Island.

MILK (HECK LOOKS GOOD
WHEN COTTON PRICES DROP
1
A farmer in Florence County, 9.
C., went to his county agent in July,
1920, and asked him his advice as to
selling his herd of cattle, consisting
of several registered cows, which he
had priced very low considering the
value of the animals. The agent
tried to persuade him to keep them,
I but he replied that he could not be
i bothered with cows when cotton wa*
I selling for such a price. Realizing
! that it was useless to argue, bur,
that under boll-weevil conditions the
cotton enthusiast would need the
cows, the county agent simply put
him off. The would-be seller called
several times and urged the matter
i upon the agent. In the meantime
; cotton went down, and stayed down.
In the fall the owner of the cows
called again and said: "Mac, if it
l were not for mv cows T don't knnw
| v. hat I would do, since cotton has
gone down. I'm giving my cows
better attention, and selling $400
worth of milk every month. That
milk check certainly looks good."
The same farmer went to the agent's
office once more in January, this
year. He said there was a cow he
could buy for $260, and he wanted
the agent's advice as to whether it
would pay him to sell enough cotton
to buy the cow. He believed
that even if the long staple cotton,
which ho could now sell at 20 centi?,
were to bring 40 cents next spring,
, fftyow would give enough milk to
1 imflca $p the difference.
