Paper by F. A. Burroughs on
Conway's Need for New
Industries.
Not a note of pessimism was
sounded at the annual New Years
dinner of the Conway Chamber of
Commerce on Friday evening January
. Despite all taik. of hard times
and depression the tone of this meeting
was spirited, enthusiastic, optimistic,
with a confidence that augurs
well for the future.
Some ten or more business men
of the town made short addresses
in which they outlined a program of
activities to be undertaken by the
Chamber of Commerce during: the
year 1922. From the spirit of thos^
present it is safe to say that main
of the deals proclaimed at this meeting
will reach a material realization
before twelve months have passed.
The very fact of the continued existence
and growth of the Chamber
of Commerce is in itself a most
wholesome sign.
At various times in past years the
town has organized Chambers of
Commerce but they were short
lived. The mortality statistics of
Conway Chambers of Commerce were
rather discouraging.
Two years ago Mayor L. I).
Magrath undertook to have a
Chamber organized on a basis that
would insure accomplishment. The
business men of the town responded
readily and the present Chamber
was orirani:?ed. It has nlwavs boon
a jroinfi; concern ar.d has a record
of achievements which have amply
justified its existence.
The meeting on Fndav nio-ht wa^
more prophetic than historic.

the report by Mr. L. H. Bui
roughs on what the committee on
Poultry was undertaking'.
After a brief review of the important
place hold by the chicken in
agriculture, literature, history, mythology,
and religion, Mr. Burroughs
explained that his committee had organized
the Horry Poultry Association
and was receiving expert advice
on plans and methods. He reported
that the Burroughs Bank and
Trust Co. had agreed to lend the
sum of $1000 to members of the association
to be invested in pure bred
poultry.
A feature of the evening was a
carefully prepared paper by Mr. F.
A. Burroughs on Conway's need for
now industries. Mr. Burroughs
pointed out that with the present
outlook for cotton and tobacco it
was imperative that consideration be
given to the organization of needed
industries. The presence of manufacturing
plants in the community,
he said, has a stabilizing effect on
business and tends to relieve the
emergency caused by failing prices
and difficulty of production of agricultural
products.
At appropriate intervals during
itho program L. D. Magrath and John
IE. Watson gave a series of musical |
selections. These had to do with
local personalities and proved highly
entertaining.

HORRY COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION
HOLDS MKimNO
.J?2D ani > J
The Horry ~CoimTy~ Bill' Association
in sessi >n ?lie tenth of January pro
posed the endorsement of a much
discussed county court for Horry
county. For a lonj? time the memI
mn if the Hor. 0?, well :?izens
of the Independent Republic,
have felt a great need for some
moans of relieving the much congested
condition of the docket of our
count v. The courts which are nrovid
od for and which are held have
proven inadequate to handle tho
great volume of business which is
put into litigation. In many instances
cases remain on docket for
several yeears. As a result of this
many litigants lose their rights ami
the consequental loss of money. For
several years the peeople of the
county have discussed a county court
which would take care of the vast
majority of this business and would
expedite business. In keeping with
this desire to promote justice, the
Bar Association has a?sinv>sd tbr
initiative .and will propose plans for
such a court to the legislature which
is now in session. Messrs. Nortor,
Page and McMillan were appointed
as a committee to draw up plans to
be submitted to the delegation at
Columbia.
The neoplp of Hovrv
recognized the unquestioned ability
of their judge, S. W. G. Shipp, and
have learned to lov? and nd" i vThe
Bar Association, feeling that
they were expressing the will of
[practically every Horryite, unanimously
went on record as favoring
the election of this, the judge of
our circuit. as a proper and capable
man for the position of Justice o"
the Supreme Court. Judge Shinp

PRINCE FIGHTS
HIGHER TAXING
Cannot Remove Any Bonded
Indebtedness?Will Work
Other Ways.
FHKtor HorVv Hsvald:
Will you please give me space in
the columns of your paper to answe
< ;" letters which I have received
during the past few days
relative to high taxes.
I know the ! o vl would come a^
soon as I learned that the legislature
in 1920 raised the state appropriation
from threee million to more
than six million dollars. Also the
salaries of our county officers were
almost doubled. The Horrv deleara
tion put the two hundred thousand
dol'vv rond bond ovpj* ui\ 'iNo nearly
every school district voted an extra
tax levy.
"My taxes ;ire loo high," is the slogan
now; also we hear the cry,!
"lit.tier reads and schools."
Th."* delegation does not have the
power to cut out any of the bonded
indebtedness, neither the levies for
[school purposes, and still 1 am going
to the legislature to voto against
(every unnecessary appropriation, both
in the state and county.
I am very certain that we will reduce
the state levy, and also the
county levy, unless we do extensive
bridge building. It is no time now
to levy heavier burdens upon the
tax payers. This 1 shall oppose. I
|have recently learned that we have
about two hundred thousand dollars
less of personal property on the tax
i hnn'cs than In 1020. O;"* faxe< have
! been increased to more than double,
while we have had to nay them wit!)
a decrease in property to I ho amount
of two hundred thouand dollars.
May 1 close by saying1 that whi!n
my friends are taking their rest at
night from a hard day's toil 1 will |
bo in tho legislature fighting your I
battles for lower taxes. You may
write mn at: Columbia, care House of
Representatives.
Your servant,
W. A. PRINCE.
