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

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

under Decrees of foreclosure and partition.

near Bavboro village was foreclosed
against B. L. BufTkin and was purchased

the same owner who sold it to BufTkin.

PAGEANT GETS
BIG AUDIENCE
The health pageant put on at th,e
Pastime Theatre last Tuesday night
by the Public Health Service attracted
one of the largest audiences
the theater has held for sime time.
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.

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.

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.

SPECIAL ISSUE
XMAS SHOPPING
Many Enterprising Merchants
Appear in The Columns
of The Paper
Tliis issue is a special one of more
than the usual eight pages. 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.

rWAT, S. 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.
