LAND SALES ON MONDAY There was more tlv*n the usual number of land sales made under order of the court at the court nouse last Monday. While the number exceeded the number of such sales that took place in December of last year, yet the number of sales is nothing to compare to the great amount of acreage that lvis changed hands at ' the court houses of other c mnties this fall. At one county seat in South Carolina, on last Monday, ac-t cording to the local paper published in that place, there were sixty-five or seventy different tracts of lf-nd /lionACA/l At* ^AHAa1a.?H??/A *UD|/V#r?cvi *'1 UIIUUl lUlCVIU.^UIU I 1 mortgagor This is one thing1 which proves that Horry County is better off financially than othev counties. The tracts sold here last Monday did not bring the money they would have brought two years ago. All of the sales this time were made by the Clerk of the Court under Decrees of foreclosure and partition. Two lots in I,oris sold under foreclosure of mortgage of W. E. Porter, went to H. H. Woodward, attorney, for $185.00. He will doubtless transfer his bid to O. R. Hardwick, the plaintiff in the case. The A. M. Lee farm at Green Sea, owned hy C. G. Hoover, was sold under foreclosure of mortgage and went to B. B. Anderson, holder of a first j mortgage for $0,500.00. Hoover undertook to pay for this farm something like ten or twelve thousand dollars. There was a second and third mortgage against the property but it did not bring enough to pay the first mortgage held by Mr. Anderson. A tract of about ten acres of land near Bavboro village was foreclosed against B. L. BufTkin and was purchased by H. H. Woodward, attorney for J. W. Gerrald and W. E. Tyler, the plaintiffs in the case. A deed for this land will be made to Mr. Gerr.ald, the same owner who sold it to BufTkin.

The pageant was put on by the Public Health Nurse, now assisting in the clinics being given in the county, assisted by local talent. An admission fee of ten and twenty cents was charged to aid in defraying the expenses. Following a musical selection, Mr. H. W. Ambrose explained the work and purposes of the Health Service and stressed the importance of the work, in the interests of the babies and the growing boys and girls of the county. Following his remarks different scenes were portrayed on the stage, showing the child's right to health and happiness and the means whereby this great blessing may not only ho acquired but retained. The lessons taught were many. The scenes were so arranged as to impress the ideas they were meant to convey. Real talent was shown by those who took part in these scenes. The pageant was on Tuesday night so as to precede the general clinic to be held in Conway on Thursday at which time a number of specialists will be in attendance to examine the children turned over to the clinic here from the various other clinics held in the county recently. The purpose of the pageant was to .awaken interest in the work of the health department and bring home to the people, the fathers and mothers of the children, the fact that these advantages are now at their very doors free of cost. The theatre was given over entirely for the purposes of the pageant I and there was no program of pictures I given there that night. I o WOODROW WILSON FOUNDATION D. A.

Mr. Spivey. believing that Horry people will gladly contribute this small amount to such a great cause, has wired the Governor: "Count on Horry contributing her full quota. We believe history will write Woodrow Wilson as the greatest man produced by this Republic. The cause is indeed worthy, and Soufh Carolina should not lag." i We can voice the sentiments herein expressed, and trust that the Horrv people will respond liberally to this movement.

OOI MARION ENJOYS GREAT MEETING The one hundred and thirty-seventh session of the South Carolina Annual Conference held in Marion, S. C., last week, closed Sunday night, with Bishop Collins Denny, of Richmand, Va.. presiding. The weather conditions were ideal and our neighbors across the Pee Dee were at their best so the occasion was one of great pleasure. In an unusual way the subject of Christian education w,ns to the fore- , front. The Sunday school hs well as tho church, srhool and collf?i?f? was featured in the reports and discussions. The speech of Col. Robert B. Scarborough, in the interest of Horry Industrial School in particular and the ouestions of education in general, op Friday morning1 before the whole Conference, will live as a niasterpice through the coming1 years. The Conference and a large number of visitors were profundly impressed. Naturallv. the point of interest in the preaching at Conference centered in the sermon of Bishop Denny, Sunday at 11 o'clock. At the close of the service Sunday at 11 o'clock, Bishop Denny ordained the Deacons and Elders, who had. by , the Conference, been elected to Deacons and Elders' orders. Rev. W. L. , Parker was ordained a Deacon. The tense moment of the Confer- ence came Sunday night when the ap- j nointments of the preachers were | read. With two exceptions the Marion District has the same pastors back. nearly"all returned The annual Methodist Conference for Eastern South Carolina, came to a close last Sunday night in Marion.

It is the beginning of the Christmas shopping period that begins early in December and lasts until the yuletide has passed. In these pages will be found the announcements and advertisements of many of the merchants of Conway, showing the public where they may buy their Christmas goods to the best advantage. The stores that appear with ads in ithis issue will be found to be the best places for the readers of The Herald to trade. Those who have not a line of greeting to their customers herein are hardly prepared to serve the holiday trade like those who have made their stores and their stocks ready for that kind of business. They are the ones who will have the new goods, the kind that will give satisfaction. The Herald wants to ask each and every reader to keep the holiday trade at home. Spend the Christmas money with the home merchants. In this issue of the paper they are telling you about what they have to suit the needs of the holiday season; then buy from them because they have prepared a nice outlay from which you may choose. Never send the money off to mail order houses, for things that are no better than what you can get here. The home merchant is the firn uiVia l?-~ - - 1 1 ~..v, -niu mu? swjoq oy you in the years that are pone. He is standing hy you now. Stand by him. Help him out. He has spent his good money in buying these things to suit your needs and these things are here at your door, awaiting your pleasure. This paper carries a lot of Christmas reading that is interesting, with illustrations that are to the point. The making of Christmas gifts at liome is a thing that is enjoyed by many people, TTie Herald has in this issue a number of illustrated short articles, telling how different useful articles may be made for giving away to the relatives or friends. It t^lls how to make these things just ri?<:ht and how ,to finish them up as things cf real Ifeauty.

C, DEC. 7, 1922 ROGERS WAS NOT VISITED Editor The Herald: Please allow me sp.ice through the columns of your paper to reply to a certain article published by you under drite of November 30th, 1922, and which reads as follows: "On the night of November 23rd, a white robed band went to Finklea's Cross Roads and called out John Rogers, constable under Magistrate B. P. Harrelson, and warned Rogers that he was not doing his duty as an officer of the law, and must mend his ways." Mr. Editor please allow me to state that on said night I loaded cotton until 10 o'clock, then left for a market in Marion County, and I never met or saw anyone until I leached Nichols .it daybreak. I was not visited by any band of masked men that night or at any other time before or since, any anyone telling, saying, or making such a statement tells a falsehood, and positively an absolute defamatory statement, and I challenge any man or person to prove the same. Further, I wish to state that I am not a constable under Magistrate 13. P. Harrelson, but a deputy sheriff under J. A. Lewis, sheriff. T serve papers for Mr. Harrelson or any magistrate when duty demands it, for [ have always tried to do anything for my country that 1 could do, and this I am sure can be proved by the bef t citizens of my township. Please give this as prominent a olace in your narer as you gave the article to which I refer. J. W.

With his lone: residence in the town, his long experience in business C affairs ,and his extensive business in- N terests, he is regarded as being in I ? position to understand the needs of ^ the town. His platform is well known to his friends who have urged him to stand tor election to this place. c Nearly two-thirds of the butter pro- . duced in the United States in 1921 " was made in creameries, according- to a report of the United States De- J parturient of Agriculture. 5 2 1 C !
