BANKERS MEET
MYRTLE BEACH
The 'linkers of Croup Six of tiro
South Carolina Hankers* Association
will hold 'heir annua! convention at
Myrtlo Reach on June S ami This
announccnen was authorized hy Col.
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

SOLDI TOR M ARRI AGES
The two French girls who foolod

to marry them in France and then
failed to stick to their bargains whorl
they got to this country, are only two
examples of the things that happened
during the war in France. Lucy Skipper.

Violet Budzac, tlio wife of the voung

for their native lands, bidding
adieu to the fond husbands they have

We have always- been opposed to
good Americans marrying such people.
We always expect to he and now
we certainly have two young men

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.
. We may almost hear the rustle of
a wing when one reads:
In shaping of the clouds I trace,
As from the mistiness of ve.'irs
Of childish frets and boding fears,
The outlines of a patient fact.
In shadows cast upon the stream
Rv summer-clother. bending trees
! That murmur in the Southern breeze..
I mark the profile of mv dream.
When winter fronts the windows lace
Willi patterns of unruled design,
I I find -oliev'd in faint outline
|The semblance of madonna's face.
I
J On cloudless nights the starrv shino
Rrings to my heart a vague surmise
That from the void her kindh
eyes
May 1)0 out-searching after mine.
Tis lomr years since she left her
place,
Hut f( r the easement of my grief
She 'oft me ?> rounds to help belief
That ! again should see her face.
fortahi'v a rare tribute to tha*
most prized friend of our chi'dhood
and manhood. Who would not
treasure it l?y missing it in his scap
hook and handing it <>n to coming
generations ?

THE HORRY HERALD, CON\
STATISTICS OF
NIGHT SCHOOLS
- \
The Conway Cluimbor of Commerce
is in receipt of a letter from Mi.-s
Wil 1 ,ou Gray setting out in statistical
form the results of the recent
campaign against illiteracy in Horry
:*oim1 y. 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.
"2. 721 equals illiterates reported
in forty-eight districts.
303 equals number learned to write
names.
H>7 equals number learned to read. <
22 I equals number learned to write.
710 equals enrollment in thirty-two i
white schools. <
130 equals average nightly attend- <
ance in white schools. i
51 equals enrollment in negro
schools. *
127 equals number of white pupils i
who did not miss a session.
22 equals average term in days. !
30 equals number of teachers
(white).
3 equals number of teachers (black), i
$3.00 cost per pupil (white). (
SI.00 cost per pupil (black). <
"3. The following schools won the 1
prizes for making the highest score <
during tho write-your-name campaign.
Aynor Group?Cool Springs School, i
score <?">, (every person in district
learned to write name).
Conway Group?Red Bluff school,
score 07 (every person in district
learned to write name).
I .oris Group?Collins Creek came
second, score 0(5.7. lOvery person in
district learned to write name.
Oak Grove school, score 8-1. Every
person in district learned to write
name).
"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.

their new institutional church, now

' good preacher to hold services there

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

DEFINITE PURPOSE.
The lirst stop in writing a pood advertisement
is to decide definitely upon
tho duty which it is expected to perform.
Ail advertisement written tit random
to till a certain amount of space
cannot be expected to bring profitable
returns.
The successful advertiser know *
just what purpose he wishes to accomplish
with every advertisement hefore
lie prepares it. Then he can
write liis message intelligently and expect
it to he read with interest.
Sometimes he may wish to announce
the arrival of a new line of merchandise.
Another time he may decide u>
offer reduced prices on certain articles.
Tint whatever the purpose of the announcement.
the successful advertiser
has that purpose in mind throughou*
the entire preparation of the advertisement.
Ills display lines, illustrations
and text all rolled the tnessap
he wishes to send.
After all, the object of most advertisements
is to induce you to visit tin
advertiser's store. And Just as ther;
are different reasons why you nnghi
wish to go there, s > are there differer
purposes for which advertisement
might be prepared.
