D. \. Sjjivey of Conway, cashier of the Peoples National Bank, .and chairman of the group. l nder the organization of the State Bankers' Association there are -oven districts corre-pondii i>; rou-rh! t<> the congressional districts of the state. It is the 1 * " l Ml I hankers of tlrn ?t\t!i district who win ) meet at .Myrtle Beach. The convention comes to Myrtle Beach on the earnest invitation (>f* i Col. .Spivev. The clo/irinu house as-j sociation of Conway will he host to the meeting and a very la rye attendance is expected. A eonimitt.ee from the clearing house association, consisting of A. K. Goldfinch. T. T. Klliott and D. A. Spivey has heen designated to prepare plans for the entertainment of the visitors and also to arrange :i general program for the meeting. The tentati\e program calls for an informal reception in the parlors of the .Myrtle Beach hotel on the evening' of Juno S. There will likely he a morning and afternoon meeting; on June !>. Among the subjects to be discussed are the work of tho War Finance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Banking system and the relation of the Kinks of tho sixth district to the co-operative method of marketimr. G. C. Newman of Florence, secretary of the sixth group, some time ago issued return postal cards f< r a referendum on the place of meeting. Myrtle Reach was chosen by a very handsome vote by the bankers of the district. This is doubtless in recognition of the attractiveness of the beach and is in line with recent developments which show that Myrtle Beach is rapidly becoming a convention center for South Carolina. UNBINDING THE WOMEN OF CHINA O Mohammedan rebels rose in the province of Kansuh a few years ago, relates a Chinese historian, and dosed in on Lanchow, the capital, slaughtering everybody they met. The terrified countrymen fled for life to its protecting walls, but tli3 women, hobbling along on their bound feet, fell behind and. failing to arrive before the gates were shut, were buichened at the very threshold. While the shrieking women beat upon the iron-bound doors, as they saw their pursuers drawing nearer, hundreds of husbands, fathers and son?., who had outrun their crippled wives, knelt before an English missionary, and begged him to iu|*>e the Governor to open the gates to let tho late-comers in. The missionary explained how this would lot 'he cut <11W| ?,i,|0,i. llll uain ill, iww9 cum UVIUV^II . * " * would have your wives small-footed, wouldn't you? Well, this is your punishment." Whatever the validity of the missionary's logic, a great revulsion against the common Chinese custom of foot-binding is reported from that province. "The greatest undeveloped re sources of China," writes Edward Olsworth Ross in his study of "The Changing Chinese" (Century), "is their womanhood." It significant he adds, that the Chinese have brought forth not one great man "since they took to bind'ng the feet ! and the minds of their daughters,"1 and he recalls that the mothers of I Confucius and Mencius. two of the | greatest men in Chinese history,! had a great share in forming the characters of their illustrious sons. Ag'ainst the common opinion that foot-binding has become practically obsolete in China, M?\ Ross ouote the opinion of Dr. Morrison, Chinacorrespondent of the t endon Times, and a recognized autboritv. Aftevj traversing the central provinces, in i long ago, Dr. Morrison estimated that 95 per cent of the females above the age of eitrht are still mutilated.1 Mr. Ross's own estimate is "at lea.-* 75 ner cent." lie comments: Thai nrmee <>f dinlopiats Minister Wu. used to stir his Amc'ean audiences with the remark "Yes. we bind our women's feet: but vou bin 1 your women's waists. Whi"h is <ho | worse ?' ^ ml we would look ivuibilvj * at one another and ?av. "Mow th A]'A 1 is something in that."

Lucy Skipper. the wife of young* Skipper, ,".nd Violet Budzac, tlio wife of the voung naval ofV'cer. have long since deoaited for their native lands, bidding adieu to the fond husbands they have left standing alone on the shore. We have always- been opposed to good Americans marrying such people. We always expect to he and now we certainly have two young men with us who believe the same way as we do. o MOTH EU, (Columbia Record.) One of the most sacred words in any language is that of "mother.'' In the. breasts of some people it never fails to well up in the heart the hotter sentiments of manhood and wnmnnhood. It will not he long un lil we wear a flower in memory of the sweet, patient friend that we knew a little while and have missed for so long a time. Yet with some of us. Mother is not entirely absent. Although her sweet gentle face is hidden from our mortal gaze, we feel that she is somewhere, waiting to mend oui weary hearts as she used to cure all our childish woes with a- gen<lo kiss. A score of people are even now thinking of their one lest friend, he she absent or present, even though all of us arc not as fanciful, nor as poetical about it one of the weekly editors out in the Ozarks. .

This report shows that the night schools had a total enrollment of 710 and an average nightly attendance of 435-). The report gives other interesting information on the result^ of the campaign. Miss Gray's letter follows: "TV> statistical report of the recent campaign in your county has just teen completed and since your organization aided so generously in making the campaign n success I .am taking: the liberty of sending you the following report: "I. Kducational night was observed in sixty-three schools. This promises to bo a red letter occasion in the history of the county, for at that time 1,103 persons gathered in schoolhouscs for the purpose of , hearing discussed and discussine; mi a non-partisan manner some of the urgent educational needs. The ready response of the Clvimher of Commerce in sending out speakers was appreciated hy the country people and did much in creatine: a county consciousness for tho fiftht against i 11 iteracy.

"1 regret exceedingly that it was impossible for me to get a report from every school, however, the re- , suits reported are most gratifying Iand I am persuaded that some communities did work which failed to send in a report. 1 have on file the signatures oi 23o persons who learned to write their names during the campaign. "The success of tlie work was due to the hearty co-operation given the ? movement by the county superintendent of education, the teachers, the trustees, the Chamber of Com nerce, the Civic League, the ministers, the bankers, the business men and especially the editors. This lepartment is grateful to all who assisted. "Permit me to say that I have never worked in a county where the spirit of progress was better or where the development of a great county was more in evidence. I wish also to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the valuable assistance given the campaign by your secretary, Mr. Wright, and the chairman of your educational committee, Mr. Burroughs. Your body is fortunate in having officers who are not only capable but who are willing to work. 1 congratulate you on your selection. "In closing may I ask thai your organization continue to sponsor this work and land your assistance until every man and woman in Horry can read and write, not just a few words, but really intelligently. Continue to push the work until the club rolls of your county show but few cro.<s marks this summer. I should be most happy if Horry could he the first county in the state to l>?' crossmaikless. If our department can assist you in making this a reality, call upon me." Damages from hail have already been recorded in this section of the state, hut the crops were very young and consequently were not hadly put out. The great danger from hail is later on, when the tobacco crops are about fully developed. It is then that a hail storm can come along and wipe out a whole summer's work for the planter.

ALLEN, Supt. of Education TURNING DOWN TITLES It is improbable that Cyril Armstrong. the struggling Chicago lawyer who suddenly \finds himse'f heir o an earldom and a quarter million, ^vill maintain his first attitude of dislain for the title. Probably no American, not even the most loyal of lis, could humanly blame him. for accepting both branches of his bequest. Cyril may take his cash and coronet A'ith a clean conscience. This trick of refusing titles is much easier for an American to do offhand than it is for an Englishman. If there is anything which should >e written down as remarkable in the private careers of men like David Lloyd George and Arthur Ha'four it is their courage and persistence in tleclining from year to year the offers nf nobility perpetually thrust upon them. Realizing that their private estate as an aid to their political usefulness in public life they have until this year held aloof from all distinguishing marks or titles. Both have now accepted the Order of the Garter. Their achievement in resisting so long is really more of a stunt than similar modesty on the part of a Ccd vie Fauntlerov or Cvvil Armstrong, who have lived far away from the blandishments and lure of the king and earl business.?Green Bay, Wis. o The King of England owns a saloon.
