J From an early hour in the morning' f until late in the evenincr the people t kept arriving ito see the circus. It * was advertised or held out mainly as J a dog and pony show, but it had some 1 features ithat went beyond that class t of tented amusement The elephant, tiger and other animals with the show v attracted the attention of the small boys and girls as such things always ; do. ' ' The show arrived in two coaches < nulled by the Atlantic Coast Line on . CI 1 - 1 i ii ? " ? * oumviy unout tne arrival ot the noon- i day passenger train. The work of ' unloading at once began. Gilded cages, in which the animals were kept, were hauled around to the vacant lots to the westward of the court house, and there the tents were put up, while crowds visited the grounds to see what could he seen of the outfit. The show came here on its twentyfifth annual trip around the country. While not one of the largest aggregations of this kind now traveling the country, yet this outfit had with it some of the best performers on the wire and ropes, and some of kthe best acts ever seen in any circus, were triven before large audiences at both the afternoon and night performances here. Most of the people with the show nut up at the hotels and boarding houses of Conway. They did not carry the dining car that is taken along by larger shows in order to feed its own people. ' On Sunday afternoon the feeding of a large snake with live chickens, on the lots where the tents were erected, attracted a big crowd to see how a snake manages chickens. The show was thoroughly advertised in all sections of Horry, and as usual, in this section of the State, it : .1 .. u:-_ ...l...l iL...

It appears that there ts ilready the deep channel needed all he way up until a point is reached >n the Waccamaw River not far >elow the yards of the Conway Lumber Company. With a com^araively small amount of work and ixpense the government could open lp this channel to the wharves and locks of the several lumber companes. Recently the Conway Lumber Company has taken the matter up vith the engineer's office. Letteis L *i i 1 il i i i ? uive ueen written oy tne otner lumner :onipanies. The correspondence folows and will explain the situation it this date: Col. Edgar Jadwin, U. S. Engineers, Charleston, S. C. [)ear Col. Jadwin: Please do not attribute my tardiless in writing you on the subject >f the benefits that would be derived by the lumber shippers at Convay if they were able to load seagoing barges and schooners at their lo^ks. to any lack, of interest in the subject on our part. 1 undertook at mce to get a statement from thr* ,hree other lumber shippers on thi* nibject and two of them responded it once, see letters attached, and the hird one I have not yet been able ,o get a report from, although i lave written twice and called them >n the 'phone once and have been vaiting to get their report on th^ >enefits that would accrue to them crom a 12 foot channel. If the report comes in later will forward it. Now as to our own operation, wo iave manufactured during the ^ufrent year ib,Oo<i,?38 feet, the average weight of which, about 2 ^ fcer foot vrhfcn kiln-dried and Iressed. This amount 01 lumber :herefore would weigh 41,580,345 lbs. The rail rate on lumber to New York s .36 cents per hundred pounds, lence the freight on this amount of lumber, if shipped to New York by 'ail, would be $149,710.84. The freight by water from Georgetown is 00 per thousand feet rough lumber, md rough lumber weighs 3200 lbs. per thousand feet. I do not knew vhat water shipping rate is on dressed lumber but nprhnns if wnnlH hn n proportion to the weight of Iressed lumber and if so it would be ibout $5.00 per thousand on dressed umber. To this we will add $1.50 ;>er thousand to take care of cost of )ringing barges, or schooners, as th?

C., OCT. 12, 1922 case may be, to Conway, and returning them to Georgetown, mak;ng a total freight charge by water on dressed lumber of $0.50 per shousand feet, and on 16,634,038 feet the freight would be $108,124.49, or a difference as compared to rail freight charges of $41,686,35. This for eight months, a monthly saving ot' $5,172,37. Now we would never ship all oulumber by water, but in all probability we would ship a great deal of it that way once we could load sea going vessels at our mill. And as soon as we began actually shipping via water the railroad would be willing to give us a water competitive rate to the Northern markets. 1 have no way now of figuring out except in an approximate way whai this saving would be and only then by comparison. Before rail rates were increased Conway had a .12 12 cents per cwt. rate to the iratewav. Norfolk or Richmond, and Georgetown, a water competitive point, at that time hau a 10 cents rate although about one hundred miles farther from the gateway than is Conway. So Conway should have, if put on a water competitive basis, a lower rate than Georgetown by at legist three cents per hundred pounds, but to be conservative we will put the difference at two cents, which would, on the basis of the pre-war rate, reduce our rate from .12 lj2 cents per ct. to .08 cents, or a saving of 04 1,2 cent.per cwt. I use pre-war rates because I knew the Georgetown rate then but do not know it now. So that if averages were used in establishing a wAter competitive rate for Conway it would mean a saviv? ?>f a* least .05 cents per cwt., and this cn 41,586,345 lbs. would be a saving of $20,793.00 in eight months on our product, a monthly saving of $2,599.10.

Dear Sir: In reference to letter received from Mr. Ambrose in regard to the advantages t o he derived from improvement of the channel in the Waccamavv River, and particularly the removal of the obstruction from near the Conway Lumber Company's mill to the wharf in Conway, wish to say that this summer we shipped a barge of approximately one-half feet of lumber from Bucksville, which is .about twenty miles below Conway, by water. If we could have shipped this barge from Conway there would have been a saving to us of at leas! $1.50 per thousand feet, and we could ***************************> I Will You Help the I to Win This ? r}$ A ?r ... 1,^1.?r..i <1.: ? ii r>\ # i i iu -i'UM :;r. |?' ?> i i.umu v H: the Democratic Kducational Camp * al work of the Democratic Nationa planned. % The Democratic National i f.

The obstruction in the river makes it doubtful about pelting a barge in .o and out o f Conway with a full load, to say nothing whatever of the advantages to be derived in the "umber business from a water competitive rate which, we are assuming, would be secured by having deep water to our wharf. We believe that the barge business could have been developed this year with a saving to our lumber business, shipping rough, green lumber, of at least $5,000.

Yours truly, W. H. WINBORNE CO., F. A. Burroughs Sec. Conway Lumber Company, Conway, S. C. Gentlemen: We have, and wish to thank you for your letter of the 2nd instant as it offers us an opportunity to join in with you and other shippers to petition '.he U. S. Engineers Office to give us a 12 foot channel to Conway. We ship out around 300 cars of our product annually over the railroads a gerat portion of which could go out by vessel if we had sufficient water to accomodate them. We handle from 1 to 5 million feet of logs on Waccamaw River each year on barges and ivifts. If we could use a barge and tug of greater draft we could very materially cheapen our freight on both i? ' and outbound freignt".

We manufacture about 45 tons of lumber per day and find it practically impossible to market one-half of it in the North owing* to the high freight rate by rail. In comparing the present existing rates by rail and by water we find that, were we enabled to load directly on schooners or barges at Conway, we could save about onehalf the transportation charges on the lumber. In other words, the freight by rail on our daily output amounts to lbout $340.00, whereas if we could ship the entire output by water, the freight would amount to about $175.00 making a saving to us of about $165, (shipping to New York.) This sav. ing in freight would permit us to I move a large quantity or our low grade stock, which under existing conditions, there is practically no market. j We are, of course, deeply interested in the subject of better shipping facilities from Conway and will be glad to assist in any way possible in obj taining same.
