Resuming its practice of holding
monthly meetings which practice was
suspended during the summer months,
the Conway Chamber of Commerce
hold a very interesting meeting on the
evening of November 4. This gathering
was in the nature of a combined
social and business meeting. The
Conway Civic League served a delightful
oyster sunner just prior to
the business meeting.
The secrctarv of the Chamber of
Commerce brieflv reviewed the activities
of the organization since the lasmeeting
in May. His report may be
summarized as follows:
The Chamber of Commerce was instrumental
in securing electric current
during the day hours. Before the

BENNETT TAKEN
WHILE ASLEEP
There was a further development
in the whiskey raid by 1). F. TCellamy,
rural policeman, ileal* Little Rivpr recently.
On Monday morning of l.ast
week before daylipht the policeman
arrested Fatp Bennett, who is charged
with haviiifc operated the whiskey
still that the policeman located and
took from a field of B. II. .Justice a
few days before that. Bennett bad
been suspected of ennajrinK in I hp op.
oration of a still for sometime past
;jnd had remained out of the way so
that he could no' be found. The policeman
si pped up on him while he
was asdeep ;>t the homo of his brother.
'"I wis located in the field of
f >. 11. Justice about 125 yards from a
tenant house of Justice, occupied by
Bonnett.
After tho arrest Bennett confessed
to tho policeman that lie had been
operating this still in the employi,
ent of B. 11. Justice for a period of
thirteen years and that during tlvit
f'? 'o ho had not been molested by
anybody in the world nor had any

As a result of a movement begun
in the Chamber of Commerce, with
the active co-operation of Congressman
Phillip H. Stoll, a new post office
building which is adequate for the
service of this community, has been
constructed on Laurel street.
Perhaps the outstanding accomplishment
of the year was the institution
of a movement in the Chamber of
Commerce for a modern high school
building. This movement recently resulted
in an election on the question
of issuing $00,000 of school bonds and |
was carried with only one dissenting
vote.

Board Renders A Decision
j Attainst Contention of Boyd
Ford and GLhers, Friday
On Inst Friday thorp \v:'s a hCi*.ri e
i-^foro th county board of cducs.th
n. another school muddle. orijvinai ;:i;
tliis time near Wanamakor.
It appears that Boyd Ford and twe
or three other; who reside within t! ?
boundaries of the Wawuv.akcr choo'
district found it more convenh d t?
end their children to tlic free school.t
of other districts. Among* pucb, in
addition to iMr. Ford, were the lYmilies
of (l"(Mj>e Hu/'vii s, Ciordon McKeir/ie
and Hammond, It app?-th/n
for some years past Mr.
Ford has been sendim?" his children
to the Fiords school; that those of
(' U' lon V. K'viyie wr??>j |() | iu> Pi nolev^'
school; and that those of Geore'c
i Hujr??ins went to the Floyds school.
This did not mat 1 or until it came
to trying* to make up n 'ar?:0 enrollment
:it the W*>r..'jmaker school n hell-df
of the state aid.
The trustees of th^ Wanamakor
district, of whom W. Chester Tlooks
is the chairman, served a rule to show
csaeu before the hoard of education
roouirinK these men to show cause
why tlioy should not send their children
school in their own school
district, that one located at Wanamaker.
Attorneys were employed on hoth
sides in the controversy and the nrguments
and evidence wore .*'11 hoard
by the hoard on last Friday, the hoard
deciding that the respondents must
send their children jto the school in
their own school district.
After this decision, which was adverse
to Messrs. Ford and the others
above named, they applied to the
hoard for the nVht of transfer under
the law from ono district to another.
It appears that the '.aw would require
the trustees of hoth of the districts
involved to take action and agree to
the transwor in order to make it lawful
for children to attend the school
outside of their own district in which
they reside.
At last accounts no decision had
been passed on the matter of the
transfers.

STORING COTTON
Farmers should see that the hales
of cotton they are holding a,'? being
thoroughly protected from the weather.
Unless this is done the lossage
will more than overbalance any gain
that may he made by increase in
prices.
Thrift is shorthand for "Waste not,
want not."
HKXS VS PULLETS
Clemson College.?"In the poultry
industry there is a phase of the work
which is rarely understood by keepers
of farm Hocks and beginners, and thvt
is the relative value of hens and pullets
as basis for the selection, establishment
and maintenance of a
profitable laying flock." says N. K.
Mehrhof, extension poultry specialist,
who estimates that on the farm flocks
throughout the country about one-half
of the laying stock consists of hens.
Why arc so many hens kept on the
farm? The profit from a flock of
birds can ho measured hv its production.
One of tho important problems
Hvt tho poultryman has to deal with
i* how to get tho largest number of
eggs from his flock. Mow can he do
hi-*? r>v selecting pullets to comprise
about two-thirds of his entire
lrock rather than by having a majority
of lions. Statistics show that pullets
lr?v about thirty eggs more per
vear than b.ens. This is true for both
1 ho hca\v .and the light breeds. The I
net profit, therefore, is in favor of tbe J
millets. They lay more eggs in the
fnll and winter when the prices are
high, and so to?id further to increase
the profit. During* the pullet year an
estimated profit above 1'eed of $3.^0
per bird i.^ netted, while for tho her
j year a profit of $2.52 per bird is
netted.
Whv. then, keen a large flock o'"
birds which will decrease the profits,
rither than increase them? K,wt
j more pullets and fewer hens in the
j 1 It ?\iys and means better re- j
suits all around.

J. C. WILLIAMS
COTTON GRADER
Writes of What he Found In
Travelling- Here and
Other Counties
\ statomen4 recently issued bjr
Thomas \V. Tannor, specialist in cot'on
marketing. with the United States
Department of Agriculture, has the
following to say:
"A scries of experiments conducted
recently by the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Kst invites have shown that a
hale of cotton placed out in the open,
Tat on the ground with no covering,
was d?rmaired to the extent of 370
pounds at the end of eight months.
\nother bale placed on edge, with no
\irther attention lost 1<>7 pounds. A
>ale on edge and turned over once a
week lost 110 pounds. A bale placed
on timbers ofV the ground and turned
over once a week last 11' pounds and
a bale placed on timbers and covered
with tarpaulin lost but 11 pounds. A
I warehouse bale of cotton durinir the
same period lost only 1 pound.
"In traveling ovor the different
counties of mv district, Florence, Marion,
TTorry, Dillon and Williamsburg*
1 found hundreds and hundreds of
bales out in the open. Wry often T
stop and ask the farmer why he lets
is cotton regain out in the open.
His reply wncnl'v <s tint it co.ts too
much to store it. He does not rc.ali^e
that it is costing him several times
moro <o keep his coMon out in the*
open Uvr. it woul I cost to store it in
a warehouse.
"At the present price of coii ?n a
farmer can store? lis cotton on his
own pl.mtatii n for something less
than ^ 1 ."m per hale per ye; r. That
i-, if he places his warehouse under

RESOLUTIONS
Inasmuch as the state of South
Carolina some years ago deemed it
expedient to pass a law against drunkenness
and the use or the handling
of intoxicating beverages in any way,
and inasmuch as the United States
thought it expedient to enact a still
more stringent law, making it. a violation
to even have it in one's possession,
therefore
He it liesolw 1 ' thr I it 1'*
Doe Lodeo No. S3 of Ancient Freemasons
of Soii-h Carolina that wo,
the members 1 ' said loihj^ put ourselves
on record as in hearty
sympathy with said laws and that we
pledge ourselves to do all tlv.t lies
in our power to see tha< tho law he
inforced. Furthermore, if any of the
members of said lodji'o indulge to excess,
the Worshipful Master shall appoint
a committee t<> see said brother
and in case the said brother should
indulge to excess the third tine he
shall be considered expelled from the
