Postmaster Mack C. Holmes of the
Conway, S. C., post ollice says that
the sustained popularity of government
savings securities in tho Fifth
Federal .Reserve District is indicated
by a report just received from Howard
T. Cree, government director of
savings for the district. According
to the director, the people of this district
invested in nearly three-fourths
of ;i million dollars worth of Treasury
hVivin^s certificates during the month
<>f May. The exact figures compiled
from 2HI post offices and in the Federal
K<* erve Bank of Richmond are
#718,(183. This a highly favorable
contrast with the receipts from the
sale of savings securities in May,
11)21, which vvei'e only $101,208.
The amount of' these certificates
Bold in May, 1022, for each state is
as follows: Virginia, $150,275; West
Virginia, $153,625; Nprth Carolina,
$1?2,625; District of Columbia, $112,-1
22r>; Maryland, ?38,983; Solith Carolina,
$27,'125. In addition there were
sold through the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond $101,525, making
a giand total of $718,083.
"This sum of nearh three-fourths
of a million .dollars," said the postmaster,
"will mature and may be collected
in May, l!>27, and the original
investment will increase 25 per cent
in the five years. This is an exhibition
of financial wisdom which should
be imitated by thousands of others
who, in vain hope of getting rich
quick, put their savings in schemes
of questionable character when there
is no certainty of return of either
principal or interest. If is better to
be sure than sorry."

REV. OWENS IS BACK IN HORRY
The Rev. E. L. Owens, for whom
a requisition was recently asked and
granted under a warrant alleging the
disposing of nroperty under lien, was
reported as being back in Gallivant's
Ferry township the end of last week.
Recently a news item appeared in
the Columbia State about the time
that the requisition was granted by
Governor Harvey. It is supposed
that this item was read by the preacher
at his home in Florida, or his attention
called to it by friends or relatives
in this county.
Upon learning of the fact that a
warrant had been issued for his arrest
he came back and offered to make
bond for his appearance at court.

SOY BEAN IS POPULAR
CROP
Clemson College.?"Many farmers
are finding soy beans a very satisfactory
substitute cash crop as the
ravages of the boll weevil increase,"
says Prof. Blackwell in Extension Circular
36, "Soy Beans," which has just
been published to meet the demands
for information on this new crop for
South Carolina farmers. The circu\ar,
which* was prepared by Prof. C.
P. Blackwell, agronomist, and S. L.
Jeffords, specialist in pastures and
forage crops, discusses briefly varieties,
soil adaptation, soil preparation,
methods of planting, inoculation, fertilzers,
liming, time of planting, rate
of seeding, methods of cultivation,
time and methods of harvesting, harvesters,
etc.
The soy bean is a safe crop, says
the circular, because it is easily cultivated,
and is subject to few diseases
and is bothered by few insect pests.
It has many uses, and if there is no
market for the seed it can be fed to
any kind of live stock, is a good crop
to plow under for soil building and
can even be used as food for people.
