i i frplUMK XXXVII HORRY PEOPLE li NEEDING HELP Greenville County Delegation \ Arranges For Hail Sufferers HORRY IS "AMPLY ABLE t Suggestions Have Been Made \ And Remade-Now Time t to Act on Matter 1 9 The Herald recent.lv carrier! an n account of the damage clone to the C farmers in Socastee township by the 1 rains. More recently it published articles showing the destruction of r "the crops in the vicinity of Bayboro l by the same cause. 1 It is agreed on all sides that the < people of both stricken sections are in need of help to pull them i through to another season when they t may have better luck in raising their > crops. It has been suggested on all sides that the right move should be 1 made to get this aid for them. s f In the meantime, something has i happened in another part of the 1 State showing how prompt the peo- i pie of other parts of the State are c to respond to the needs of their neighbors. Recently there was a bad ? 1 hail stortii in the lower section of t Greenville county. The crops were i destroyed no more completely than | f the crops of our Horry farmers I were. The people and the officers l I of Greenville county were not slow to act as is shown by an article in t, the Columbia State in its issue of c ; last Friday, showing that on that ^ | day there was a special called meet- v * intf of the Legislative delegation of p Greenville County to consider means ( of aiding the unfortunate farmers of r Greenville. The sum of ten thoud. sand dollars was appropriated for the k relief of the suffers. ft . Of that amount the sum of six ft thousand dollars was for making cash payments to those who lost I their crops, while four thousand dol lars was to be used in the building j I of a road and thus give employment j H to tlio fnnnpvs wVin nnnrl wr* vl r I to do. The action of the delegation * I followed a mass meeting held at M "Wpst Dunklin, at which a number of ! talks were made concerning1 the re- 1 lief that should he given to the I poople. It was arranged for the ) H # Clerk of the Court to gather the 1 statistics of the losses and thus rnake * sum that the amount appropriated ' should go to the right places and ft on a fair per capita basis. 11 Surely Horry cotmty can afford to s do just as much for its unfortunate r B planters as Greenville can do for h those in that county. Suggestions h have been made and made in plenty, t b"* it is now timo to act and pro- a vide the means for the losers in p Socastee and Bayboro. i. I CONWAY PUBLIC !

Each candidate was limited to a ipeech of twenty minutes in length, his being an arrangement made imong themselves and strictly adicred to. The candidates for the office of soicitor came first on the program: L. M. Gasque spoke first. He said here were two candidates who dancd and the if?st of them did the singng. Spoke of the great pleasure with vhich he always met the Horry people. He gave an account of his holdng the office. If he had done anyhing and was entitled to any credit, 1 is duo. he said, to the assistance of he people of Horry. He left it to hem to judge of what he had done ipoke of the high plane of conducting he campaign and spoke of the dif'erence now and twenty years ago. le took charge eight years ago. He tad labored. Ho was not rondv in ay aside the mantle placed on his1 houlders because he did not helieve ho people wanted it. He cracked a ittle joke at Muldrow the first meetng and Muldrow flew to pieces. At Carvers Bay he asked as to who vanted him changed. Then he told oko of the couple being married when he boy in the back of the church said ohioeted because he wanted the irl himself, but added the fact that in old man got up /it one side and aid go. that he knew the boy who had (biect'yl and even if ho had the girl e would not know what to do with er. He applied this to Mr. Muldrow. ^"rain he said Muldrow was a good dvertisor. That Muldrow stuck his icture up on the Gallivants Ferry ridge. An old farmer's mule stopped md refused to pass Muldrow's picurc. The farmer told the mule that 10 had more sense than ho did, for if iO had seen the picture first he would iot attempt to pass. He said ho vould admit that ho was homely kiiile Muldrow is handsome but if all ho ugly old moii would vote for Gasue, his friend would not get a sin le vote. Ilo spoke of his record in the courts.

He could furnish he endorsement of the judges as to lis expediting the court business. He wants all the votes he can get >n the 29th. This would mean an eniorsement of him.

He lid not consider the work he would lave to do but did realize the responsibility. He was not mad at the jokes of his opponent.

Enterprise, in Socastee township, will a not be expected to open this Pall ,ow- tl ing to the lack of children to attend s J it. 1, J Only twelve pupils can be had t * from the territory, where, formerly, o 1 there was a crowd of children ready a l and eager to attend the sessions of n the school. v t This condition has been brought tJ 1 about bv the failure of the crops this v r year. The rains came and destroyed h f the crops to such an extent that the r 1 people have had to go to work whereever they can to make a living and e , in many cases it would appear that h 1 they cannot spare the children to at- t t tend the school. c This is but one more sad effect of t - the loss sustained by the people of p that stricken community.

STRIKE MAKING J FAST PROGRESS 1 his Week Begins With Gloomy W Outlook For Peace This week comes in with a gloomy utlook in the matter of strike troules in the coal mines and on the ?p ail roads. By last Sunday the prreat Transpacific Coast with eastern pointiere totally out of business, witn assenirer trains tied un in the vards. wing to the strike of the "Big ^ 'our" brotherhoods, consisting of the ninemen, conductors, etc. ^ Passengers to tlie number of two A nousand were hold up and could 1 ot go further in the four states of alifornia, Arizona, Nevada and ( Jtah. There are some Horry county *>' eople taking vacations out West. J.K mong them Mrs. A. W. Harrett. It ; not known whether she is among lie number thus held up in travel. On last Saturday President Hard- Vi lg was hard at work trying to find solution of the troubles by getting Ct lie unions to refer the matter of 5U oniority to the Railroad Labor Hoard S( ut altogether he spent as much as V( liree hours with the executive headf these unions, he got nowhere at V 11 in that matter. That the governent will take action, however, is ery plainly shown by the stand that w he officials are taking. Something r< /ill be done to meet the situation, ut just what that something will be ?' emains to be seen. *1 In the meantime the attorney gen- 0 ral of the United States, Daugherty. s as directed all of the District At- t orneys over the country to prose- 01 ute all strikers who interfere with *( he carrying of the mails. He order- P( d the district attorney at Los Ange- a ?s to proceed at. once against the trikers there by submitting evi- C( ence to a grand jury. This order 111 ollowed a conference of the at tor ey general with President Harding. 111 Tilings were brighter in regard to NV ho coal mines than in regard to the !1< ailroads. In some quarters it was (': elieved that matters looking to a ai et.tlement of the coal sarike had s< ;one so far in a favorable manner hat the mines might be opened and ? n operation again before another 01 veek goes by. P1 Out in the West things continue rloomy when it appears that there nay 1 >o a completae stoppage of pasenger and freight traffic by reason " f the strike. *> tl IUMMEK SCHOOL COMMENCE- ,c MENT 11 Cf The closing exercises of the Slimier school were given at the court- f ouse last Friday evening.

The township formerly had two magistrates, one at Little River and the other at Wampee. Now, under the new law there is to he but [>ne in the township, and the two magistrates, A. P.

It was not a receiving day at the cooperative warehouses but it was a salesday at the independent plant, the Planters Tobacco & Storage Warehouse. There were many growers who came to Conway that day for a double purpose. One purpose was to sell tobacco, while the other to see the candidates and hear them speak. There were people from almost every section of Horry. \ NO 18 ^ QUESTION ON 3ERHAM COUNTY /ill it Play a Part in Election to The House of Representatives IS AS YET NO ISSUE wo of the Candidates Reside in Territory of Proposed New County Will the matter of the proposed ;\v county of Derham have anyiinp to do in the election of the 10 representatives to the General ssembly this time? This is the irning question that lias struck in' the minds of a number of voters iring the last week since the councampaign began and brought clitics therefore more to the foreont. This question is being ansered in the minds of the voters who we thought about it perhaps in irious ways. There is a chance that the new >unty proposition, as well as the mexation proposition may have >mething to do in the casting of the Hes on August 29th. People in the territory of the pro:>sed new county, if they are on the ?b, will want to elect representaves to the Legislature, who live ithin that territory. Could the jpresentatives have any to do with le matter? That they could is the jvious answer. Whether they will y to have anything to do with it r not remains to be found out. It sufficient just now to know that woud be possible for the matter f representatives to have a big lot > do in the providing of the excuses of forming the new county nd as to the division of the coun: debt in so far as they are not mtrolled by the present laws that iay go unrepealed. So far as the Herald knows there re but two of the candidates living ithin the territory of the proposed ew county. Another of the candiites has a law office at both Loris nd Conway, hut he lives in Conway i that his interest may not be [Tected in regard to the territory f the new county when it may be at apart frv>m the rest of the Indeendant Republic. The two living within the terri>ry of the proposed new county are [on. W. A. Prince and the Rev. J. . Carter. So far the new coun' has not been made an issue in ie county campaign, but from the nnarks that we have heard about ie matter within the last week, this tmpaign is over and the votes cast. How about the new county anyay ? Once the movement was in ill swing and things looked as if icv would go through to compleon like a streak of greased lighting. Before long the interest in ic matter seemed to lag farther and irther behind until quite recently lcre was never a word heard about \e thing. The silence that now prevails may ican much or it may mean but little. may be the quietness t\at picnics the storm. l?\terest may be i?ain about to break forth and then e will sec what wo shall see. nJRUrF(iAI) CROWS WORSE The road between Socatee and Murtds Inlet is said to be the terror not nly of motorists but of the drivers if the ordinary teams.
