HORRYITES ARE AMONG NUMBER Horry County may be congratulated upon the selection of Horryites for official positions in the Stonewall H i ghway Associa t ion. The most important position in the association, that of President, is now filled by Mr. D. V. Richardson, a man whose interest and actual work in the upbuilding of Horry, makes his appointment especially pleasing to the people of this section. There is a director appointed for each county through \vhich the road passes, and Mr. D. M. Burroughs was selected to fill the postion for Horry County. In this case another very good selection was imde. The account of the meeting of the association held at Jefferson last tweek appears in a news item from that town as follows: JefTernon.?There was a very enthusiastic meeting of a Stonewall mgnway asociation held Friday at the Jefferson with the following towns represented: Conway, Darlington, Florence, McBee, Jefferson, Pageland, Catarrh and Monroe.

W. Black well, Marion; Florence, C. W. Morrison, Florence; Darlington, E. S. Pendergast, Darlington; Chesterfield, J. P. Sheppard; Pageland; Union, Frank Redfearn, Monroe, N.

A. Spivey read the Proclamation of Governor Harvey, designating Sunday September 17th, 1022 as "Constitution Day." The audience was reminded that while our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence over 146 years ago, it was about 22 years afterwards tluit <jur iirpsent Consritu tion was adopted, which instrument today remains the fundament?! laws of our land. o The coming1 of the boll weevil has caused a number of farmers to seek other means of making a living-.

It was a regular "get-together meeting." Splendid addresses were delivered by Mr. L. H. Burroughs, As"ist*uit Superintendent of the Sunday School, and by Mr. Hoyt McMillan, Chairman of the Board of Deacons. Attention was called to the toct that not 50 per cent of the BapJj.st of our town participated Withe worship of the church or contributed to its support. Special efforts are to be made among all the denominations to develop Conway into a church-going community. Something is radically wrong when the seats of our churches remain empty from Sunday to Sunday. We venture to say that the trouble is not with our ministers, J._. _ i .. _ i.ii. 1 i or wo ua\o a <|u;u touo ui pirariu'i s located here who are the equal of any to be found anywhere. The difficulty is evidently not with the socalled leaders, for they seem to be consecrated and devoted to their work. A careful diagnosis might reveal tlie fact that the trouble lies with the ordinary church-member, the layman. When the people have a mind to work, and all the people gather as one man, and determine to put it over, everv church will be filled every Sunday. fieiTddayWr marion dis't Wo are planning for a great Field Day for the Marion District at the Horry Industrial School, Aynor, on Tuesday, Sept. 2fith.
