Til'1 Ml r> nrn" t ? that the people of Conway are making groat preparations for tlie entertainment of the South Carolina Press association on the occasion of its annual meeting at Myrtle Beach, June 21, 22 and 23, according to a letter received by Harold C.

This is the first time that the association has ever met in Horry county and the people of that county plan to make it a meeting long to be remembered. Mr. Wright said that the Conway peeople we it? anxious to have the members of the association come to Marion on the morning* train of June 21. They will be met at Marion by the people of Conway, who will t'ike them to Conway in automobiles.

Automobiles will be waitin,e: at Peachtree ferrv when the boat arrives and the delegation will be taken to Myrtle Reach, a distance of some six or seven miles.

The details of the entertainment, program are being* worked out by a committee of the Conwav chamber of commerce, of which Col. D. A. Spivey is chairman. Hubert G. Osteen of Sumter, president of the association, is arranging the business program for the meeting and it is panned bv Mr. Osteen to make this a real business meeting. There will, of course, be p'enty of time for pleasure and recreation but it is the idea of Mr. Osteen to have the association transact, real business when it is in session and to put the asociation on a business like basis. An effort will be made to make this the most largely attended meetincr of the association ever held and officers of the organization said that judging- from the interest already heino displayed in it. the effort will probably be successful. BAPTISTS GIVE A FISH DINNER There was a fish dinner given last Monday at 12 o'clock, noon, for the llPllPfit (>f tllO llfn'l/ll-lOVO nn/I x,? viiv |/ivwviici^ aim uc<iluii.> of the Conway Baptist Church.

Taylor were the expert fishermen who supplied the fish with the aid of Wiley McMillan. Harmon Dusenbury and O. M. Harrelson, expert paddlers. o MEETING HORRY COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY The Horry County Medical Society held a very interesting meeting in Conway on Wednesday, May 3, with Drs. Dusenbury, Stalvey, Scarborough, Norton and Rogers present. Two interesting papers were read and discussed, "The Interdependence of Medical Professionalism and Commercialism," by Dr. Norton, and "An Inquiry Into the Present State of the Practice of Medicine in Horry county," by Dr. Rogers. Under the discussion of plans for the betterment of the society, two subjects were presented; first, "Service to the Poor." One physician contended that the county had no real pauper class, even in the present contingency, but after discussion it was decided that the question of the poverty of a person shouldn't be left to the decision of an individual nhvsician. but should bo loft to the county board, and that when they decidcd that the person was a pauper, that the society would expect the nearest physician to attend such a person freely and fully, to the best professional ability, provided that free medicines were furnished such cases by the druggists, free rations by the grocers, etc. Of course, emergency cases were to be re>j)onde<l to at once without question, The second subject discussed was ;i health survey of the county. It w/i* thought best to make this :i clinical feature of each future meeting ol the society, calling upon the physician or physicians of each community to make a survey of his community regarding conditions causing disc:is< therein, with suggestions for the relief of such conditions, making a ful %irin H /k Vk 4 l?w% - - ..-I-* - I i m; 11 i c|i<>i t iw nir >?nii,L y( WMICI will fully discuss such report, aw make recommendations for actions I'oi said community. The county health officer, who wa? not present at this meeting, has al ready made surveys of the public schools in every section of the count> and i fully cognizant of community health conditions, and it is hoped tc have him tuke an active part in this worthy work of the society. I HORRY SCHOOL ENDS SESSION Last Commencement Un?ler the Administration of Rev. S. C. Morris. Aynor?The present session of the Horry Industrial school will come to a close with the gradu*.\ting exercises to be held next Monday evening, when eight girls and four hoys of the 11th grade are scheduled to receive diplomas. The a<ldress to the graduates will be delivered by A. H. Gasquo of Florence. The first number on the commencement program was the music recital given some days ago by Misses Gladys Kirton, Maude Dawsey and Thelma Page and Isaac Shelley, pupils of Mrs J. H. McCutcheon, music teacher of the school. The next of the commencement events will be "A pageant of History," to be. presented on Friday evening of thi> week by a cast composed of students from the Horry Industrial school and the local public school. Thp Row C\ K. Dnwsev. a native of this locality, but for several years a missionary to Brazil, will preach the commencement sermon next Sunday morning. This will be the last commencement under the administration of the Rev. S. C. Morris, for several yearshead of the school, who will not be connected with the institution next year, the trustees having- recentlv accepted his resignation to take effect at the close of the p'^sent session. Just who his successor will bo is not known, but it is understood that the trustees have several men in mind for the place, and that a splendid school executive will be secured. The trustees are to meet next Monday for the purpose of electing a president of the school, and much interest awaits the announcement of their selection. o HORRY HERALD AT ONE-FIFTY Until further notice the Herald will be sent to subscribers at the reduced subscription price of $1.50 per year. This has been done for various reasons stated in the advertising on another paj>e of this issue Farmers need to read this year if they ever did read. This applies to ? a l. * . r i ^ . luuiey ciais.st;^ 01 uitj people JUM awell. It is easier to raise one fifty than it is two, and the Herald make1'this reduction for the time being; for the benefit of everybody who wishes to read the paper and feels like they can afford it at the reduced rate. It was this price before the war came on and was compelled to charge $2.00 petf year. It is worth the $2.00, and it is intended to keep it that way. There will be no reduction in tho quality of the paper. We certainly hope that the people will show their appreciation of tlT> reduction in price and take advantage of the opportunity which is given to get one ?of the best county papers that is published in the State at. less than is charged for the same service in other towns. o HERALD LOCAL RATE CARD Effective at Conway, S.

THE HORRY HERALD, CC CO-OP MARKETS SECURE HOUSES ?? 4 i List Shows Many Warehouses Lined up With Marketing ( Movement i GETTING MANY MEMBERS Enough Warehouses to Take Care of .Majority of Year's Crop are Already Secured. The list of all warehouses secured j to date by the Tobacco Grower's Co-operative Association in South Carolina was gven out this week by jT. C. Watkins, Jr., Director of W>arej houses for the Association. Mr. Watkins has been in confex, ence at Raleigh during the past week with the warehousemen of North Carolina who have tendered their properties to the Association. True to their wo/i the officials of the Association have taken over both warehouses and warehousemen wherever possible and according to Mr. Wat 1 il 4 _ i! _ _11 A. Kins tne Association is in excellent position to care for its tobacco growing' members throughout the Carolinas and Virginia. The strength of the Coopeifcitive Association with over 40 warehouses evenly distributed throughout South Carolina is revealed by today's announcement. The refusal of a few warehousemen to discuss terms with the Association hitherto, has given its officials no anxiety according to Director Watkins, who let it be known that sufficient warehouses to take care of a majority of this year's crop have been secured. Negotiations with still other warehouses may bo closed in a few days, according to Mr. Watkins. Over 70 warehouses in North Carolina and 42 warehouses in Virginia have signed up with the Cooperative Marketng Associaton. The campaign of the MarketingAssociation for new members is de*?A1 A ?\ 1 < i? i ? t ,A f\ f of i<Ai\ K rt <i ??/-] t M /v f rv > UIL; atcuiuiii^ iu latest reports from Raleigh headquarters where- more than a thousand contracts have been received during the past two weeks. A new factor of strength in the campaign of tho growers is the leadership of experienced warehousemen in gaininjr signers to the contract. With the signing up of one thousand acres of tobacco in a single day in Person County, North Carolina last week and the recent successful meetings in three States there is every indication that the organized growers will attain a seventy-five per cent sign-up before the mp-rkefs open according to M. O. Wilson. Secretary of the Association. Warehouses have signed up definitely with the Association at the following1 points: Andrews.

Esther P. Faircloth, R. N. Superintendent. i o DIXON BRINGS LATE PUMPKINS George Dixon brought to Conway last Monday two pumpkins, a part of his last year's crop. They had* been kept through the Winter an J were a-s fresh looking as the day they were gathered from the field. They were left at the store of the A. M. McNeill Grocery Company. There is on exhibit at the McNeill store a watermelon from the 1921 crop. It was purchasced from tho farmer who grew it last year and laid on the counter where it has remained ever since and yet shows no sign of decay except a slight discoloration from the original green to a slight brown. It. has the imprint of thousands of finger nails which* have been stuck part way into the surface to see whether it is really a watermelon and not a citron. o APPRECIATE TRAINING.

Winstead, furniture dealer at Winstead's, and Tolar B. Lewis, the attorney of the Conway bar. . The item tells of the anxiety caused by telegrams, giving news of the accident and the fact that Mr| Winstead had to be taken to a hospital. The whole was cleared up by the arrival of the two back at home a day or two a?ro. The accident could have had serious consequences, but luck had it otherwise and neither of the parties were seriously hurt, but got a good shaking up. The car skidded on one of North Carolina's good roads and took up against a ledge, where if it had gone over, the occupants would have fallen down 100 feet. Mr. Lewis was thrown from the car, but was not hurt beyond the shock of the performance. f , ' i. I They are Good! , Buy this Cigareti Notice cco Gr< arehouse and PL Bluff, N.
