Capture or Location of Twentytwo
Monkey Rum
Stills
LARGEST OF ALL
MADE OF COPPER
Taken With Five Gallons of
"Monkey ' While In Actual
Operation
J. K. King, one of the Rural
Policemen, lives so far from Conway
The Herald has not been able to obtain
from him any record of his
work in Die enforcement of the pro-]
hibition laws. The lie wild has now |
secured from him a list of what he
has done. He captured his twentysecond
moonshine still on January
28th, 1922, this being a still of fifty
gallon capacity and made of copper.
With the still he took five gallons of
whiskey, thirty gallons of beer, and
twenty-two empty barrels and kefes,
this being the largest outfit that has
ever been found in the County so far
as this paper can recall. In connection
with the still he found 500 gallons
of sour mash, this being the material
placed in the tank and heat applied to
produce the alcohol; this mash being
probably meal and water which had
reached the proper state of sourness
to make a strong monkey rum. This
was all on hand at the still when it
was captured. It was being1 operated
by two men but when they discovered
the nearness of the policeman they
ran away and no arrest was made.
In the raiding party was J. W. Rogers,
B. G. Fowler and Will Graham.
This still was located in what
is known as Camp Swamp in Simpson
Creek Township.

Many people in this section of the
State were sorry to hear of the 1
death of Dr. A. B. Clark, of Plantersville.
He had many patients from Horry
County. Many of these patients
claimed great benefits from his 1'
treatments and advice. ?'
He was a man who had been train- !1
ed well in his profession. He had y
enough energy to try to apply his 11
knowledge. No matter how many s
came to liis humble office and home, 11
in the rural I place, where he practicod,
none went away without got- '
ting his attention as soon as it was
possible for him to do it.
At times there were more waiting v
at his door than he could possibly ^
wait on. At such times he is said to (
have been irrigated because of his inability
to attend to them all. j
He had two things which will a
make men known in this world. One p
was the knowledge and experience,
the other was the willingness and
the ability to apply what he know.
His whole success came from these, g
These same things were admired by H,
Dr. Clark when he found them in ti
others and he never failed to express f,
his appreciation. A

ecently when the large and powerful
nachine which cuts the sheets of thin
food from the blocks suddenly broke
11 two pieces, and work had to ho
uspended until repairs could be

The machine had been strained a
ew days before that and had doubt?ss
been cracked unknown to the oprat
ors. After working a few more
ays the machine could not stand the
/ork any longer and the castings
;ave way. It was repaired by puting
in some stay bolts, to hold the
lain castings together, but some of
ho parts had to be sent to a factory

-THINGS ARE~D0i\IE,
GREATER PENDING
Chamber Has Given Much Time
and Thought to Publicity,
Makes Good Reading
At tho meeting of tho Conway
Chamber of Commerce last week, the
secretary made the following report
of a year's work:
To the Chamber of Commerce:
1 beg leave to submit herewith the
following report covering the activities
of the Conway Chamber of Commerce
for tho year from February 1,
1021 to February 1, 1022
Last Friday's meeting marked the
end of the second year of the
r? in oviefnriM T< >
for universal congratulation that tho
twelve months which have past have
seen no decrease in the membership
of the Chamber and in* lessening of
the enthusiasm of its members. 1
,believe that the experience of a great
many other towns has been that during
the past year, as a re-action to
the general spirit of depression and
pessimism, thoir chambers of commerce
have in many instances been
disbanded or ceased to function. It is
a fine commentary on the spirit of
our citizens that our own organization
has kept alive and has exerted
its influence in no small way for the
betterment of the town.
Publicity
It may well be assumed that the
chief function of the Chamber of
Commerce is to give desirable publicity
to the attractions and points of
excellence of the town. This has
been a constant endeavor of our own
Chamber.
> During the year which ended last
Friday we have furnished the local j
newspapers of South Carolina and of j
Wilmington North Carolina, well over j
.1,700 inches of news type, all articles |
submitted being of a character that |
would draw favorable attention to the
town.
We have received and answered f
fully letters from (|uite a number of
firms and individuals making inquires
as to local business and social
conditions.
In the .June issue of the South
; Carolinian, official organ of thol
: South Carolina Development Hoard J
; and State Chambor of Commerce, w o I

tion, and a committee from tho Civic

: of the Burroughs High School were
; thoroughly canvassed. A later nieot|
ing was hold to which tho trustees
: and Supt. B. I). Alexander wore in- j
vitod. At this mooting tho organiza:
tion represented went on record as
; favoring the construction of a now
: building and the addition of much
; needed 0(|uipment. The chamber of
Commerce pledged its hearty co:
operation to the trustees in any plan
; looking to the creation of a modern
high school for Conway. The outgrowth
of that meeting is history.
.Bonds in amount of $00,000.00 have
been voted, with which sum it is be
lieved a very modern plant will bo
erected by the opening of the next
school session.
2. At the annual county commence
mcnt and field day exercises in April,
1921, the Chamber of Commerce
played a small part by securing from
its members prizes for the contest'
ants who were entered in the various
. competitions in Athletics and scholarship.
At this time the Chamber is co
operating to the limit with agencies
of the State department of Kducation
iii the drive which is being made
, on illiteracy in Horry County. This
co-operation has taken the form of
giving much desirable publicity to the
movement and of furnishing speakers
for various meetings held throughout
the County. Within the next fewweeks
it hopes to furnish to Miss Wil
Lou Gray, who has this work in
charge, a dozen or more members
who will visit schools of the county
at night meetings, which will all be
held on the same night and there help
to launch the "Write-your-nainemovement,"
the object of which is to
see that no Horry voter makes his
mark in the elections of this summer

DR A. B. CLARK
PASSED AWAY
Famed Physician of Plantersville
Is No More After
Week's Illness
WAS MUCH SOUGHT,
FAR AND WIDELY
Lived and Practiced for About
Twenty Years In Country
Place
The daily papers of South Carolina
under date of January 31st carried a
news item from Georgetown, South
Carolin.a, which stated that Dr. A. B.
Clark of Plantersville, in that county,
had died at his homo from pneumonia
at 11:45 that morning, following a
week's illness. r.ispatch also said
that the news would carry grief
throughout the State, and that at
Kid nrifn/I
VII \'I ^vunvn, 111 o civil' i 11 v/11IV, IMI > ono
felt this a jrre.it personal bereavement.
Dr. Clark came to
Georgetown County from Canada
more than twenty years ago; and in
the course of the twenty years or
more that he practiced his profession
in this state, he pained a reputation
second to no other physician in
this section of the State. He had .as
large a practice as any doctor in the
eastern part of South Carolina, or
North Carolina, and was especially
gi fted.
It is certain that the news of the
death of Or. Clnrk carried sorrow beyond
the confines of South Carolina.
His fame as a physician became so
wide that patients sought his attention
from other states. It has been
known that ho had several patients
from distant states and had so many
demands upon his time, at his home
.at Plantersville, that lie found it
very difficult to leave at anytime.
11o was a graduate of his Medical
School of the University of Maryland,
had a post graduate course in
the Presbyterian Hospital of Baltimore
in diseases of the eyes, ears
nose and throat. He was also at one
time associated with the Mayo
Brothers and other well known surgeons.

and foil. No more splendid piece of
advertising can be done for the county
than to have the information go
forth that c-very man and woman
who w nt to the polls in Horry signed
his or her own name.
In April the twenty or more night
school;: which \ >v in operation,
will have at Conway their fiiv.il commencement
exerci .es. The Chamber
of Commerce has boon asked?and
will no doubt be glad to comply with
the request-?to furnish suitable
pri'/.es for tho successful contestants
in these cxeivisos, and to entertain
the contestants at a dinner to be
served in this hall. This matter is being
handled by the committee on education.
Day Current
Through co-operation between the
Chamber of Commerce and the
Quatttleb.aum T ight & Ice Company
early in the summer, that company
institutnd :i dav current service for
citizens of 1110 town. This is u
thinj? which tho town had wanted for
many years. The part which tho
Chamber of Commerce played in securing
tho day current was in getting
a sufficient number of citizens of
tho town to subscribe to a guarantee
to the Company that they would use
the current if it were provided. With
this in hand the company felt safe in
giving its service, which has been a
matter of great convenience to us all.
Tins f,ine
In the fall of 1021 the Chamber of
Commerce got in communication with
the Motor Transportation Company
of Columbia, which operated bus
lines throughout the St.ate and assured
it of tho interest and support
of the people of Conway if they
would operate a line from Conway to
Marion. As a result of this encourage
mcnt the company inaugurated this
service which has been a great convenience
to the public. We are informed
that the company has in process
of construction a much larger
and more modern bus than is now
operated which will be placed on thorn
n during the summer months for
the beach traffic.
Long Distance Telephone
The Chamber of Commerce interested
itself actively in the restoration of
long distance telephone service from
Conway. This matter was taken up
by the Public Utilities Committee
with the local company and with the
South Carolina Railroad Commission
