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

CONSTITUTION DAY
At the conclusion of the services at
the Baptist Church last Sunday, D.
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-.
Those who remain on the cotton farms
have changed them into diversified
crops and live stock raising.

BAPTISTS HAVE
GOOD MEETING
The Service at the Baptist Church
on last Sunday was conducted by laymen.
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.

GAMBLING GETS

ffcimtiliag:
The crime of gambling1 ik a seri- \n
, oits o?e under the provision's of th?r 'g
' Slate. The penalty is sever* as com- ^
pared to the innocent appintrance of: '
the act of gambling. This: is prob- a
aMy for the reason that gambling is-( u
demoralizing and lead's to othesriju,
i crimes of moreror less serious aspect,
Staid citizens of Conway would'J:
1 hesitate to believe that gambling has
i its hold upon many <rf die men and! '}
boys of our town. TTiose who know !
the facts are prepared1 to say that it iv
is no unusual thing for money to be j ^
won and lost here in Conway in the . ^
