UPPER WACCAM^ NEED (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) Mr. H. E. Thompson, cashier of the Bank of Little Hiver was the next to testify. "Mr. Thompson what would you es? timate the clam industry at Little River to be worth in a season?" A. "It is hard to say, but it is a bijar thing". They ship five or six thousand bags of clams per year. This last season some clams were IcaJed on the boat and had to stay there two v?eeks on account of bad weather.' "Mr. Thompson, do you know how much money was spent for fertilizer last year?" A. "No." "Is fertilizer very generally used up in that section?" A. "There was not very much used last year; they have to get it from Wilmington by boat, or from Conway by truck; but there is not much bought." "Mr. Thompson, do you know the amount of the pay roll of the lumber company before it closed?" A. "It was around $5,000.00 every two weeks." "Are there factories there that can give the people employment?" "ixo, none at an." "What is the population of Little River, and adjacent country?" A. "I hardly know, but our school has 100 or 110 pupils." "How many peopel are served by your bank?" A. "That is hard to tell, we accomodate a Large territory. It is 28 miles to Conway, and 20 miles to Shallote and Little River is a central point for a large territory." "Is there any talk o fextending the railroad in that territory?" A. "No, I have not heard of any." "How much water does the boat dr.aw ?" draw that comes to Little River?" A. "Six or seven feet." "Can boats similar to those that go into Georgetown go in there?" A. "No." "How often does the boat run?" A. "For the past two years it has been once a week, sometimes it is once a month." "Where do you get the bulk of youi supplies ?" A. "From Wilmington or Conway the bulk comes from Wilmington." "You would like to connect witV Conwav?" A. "Yes, we would." "Was there a fish scrap factory ai T.ittlo T?i\rov of atiq A. Yes. but it shut down in 1921.' "How far up the river would it hav< to be improved to give that sectioi the benefit you want?" A. "Up to Wortham's Bridge." "You are five miles from Wor tham's?" A. "Yes." "How far from Star BiufT to Wor tham's by river?" % A " 12% miles." "What was the pay roll of the fisl scrap factory before it closed?" A. "$500 per week, I cannot tel exactly, but I think that figure i close." "The fish scrap factory failed fo want of transportation?" A. "T could not tell exactly, I d not know the details." "Do you think we could keep a pood a channel to Wortham as to Sta Bluff?" A. "Yes, I think so." "Ha\re you ever had Rood size boats up the river?" A. "The steamer Ruth has been u the river as far as Pireway." At this point Mr. Quattlebaur read special delivery letter fror Longs, containing 25 names, askin that the Waccamaw river be mad navigable from Conway up. Mr. J. Roscoe Gore was the next t testify. He said: "I live at Longs, it is two miles t the Waccamaw river; 14 miles t Loris, and 20 miles to Conway. Fert: lizers we have to truck from Cor wav or Loris. We have a small sa1 mill, but on account of lack of tranj portation we can only saw for Iocj demands. We have plenty of timbe but we have no way to get the lumbi "How is the timber held?" A. "It is owned mostly by farn ers." "There is only one saw mill?" A. "Yes, we saw mostly for loci purposes. If we want any dressed < finished lumber we have to haul it S miles." "Have you a landing on the river' A. "Yes, at the mouth of Bu< Creek, between Worthams and St; Bluff." "You would be interested in havir the river navigable to Worthams?1 A. "Yes, but it would do mu< more good to have it to Pireway." "The people who have signed th letter just received by special deli ou GOOD CIGARETTE* ioc ? JmM? GENUINE firm "bull" t^lPlF DURHAM JLdBJNL. TOBACCO iW RIVER S TO BE IMPROVED -o Q ery, do they live in South Carolina?" A. "Yes, and they are the ones who would use the landing. It would not be difficult to extend the channel up to Pireway, as the river is wide and deep frpm Worthams to Pireway. Then the timber around Pireway could come down the river. In regard to fertilizer, we cannot use it because it is too costly to haul it from the railroad." "How much fertilizer do you need a year?" A. "I cannot say. We cannot raise tobacco because we cannot get the fertilizer." "How much would you need per acre?" A. "About five or six sacks." Mr. J. H. Lay testified as follows: "I live on the river about three miles from Pireway. The river has not been improved for a Ion# time; not since 1890 to 1893. At that time fertilizer came up the river by the steamer Ruth. The Ruth could go up at any time we had a half freshet." "How much water did it take to allow the Ruth to go up there?" A. "I have never measured the water but I think the water would rise as high as 8 feet. The Ruth usually commenced going up there in January and hardly ever failed to go up until the middle of April when the water generally commences to go down and then we would have to wait for a freshet which was generally in June or July." "How many months a year did she generally run?" A. "That depends on how much there is to do. One trip a week is about all she can do. "What months .lid she actually get up there?" A. "January, Ferup.ry, and March to about the middle of April. Once in eight or ten years we would have a bad year and she would not be able to i go up at all, and she has gone up every month in the year." "Why did she stop going up the river?" ; A. "The river became in bad con; dition, caused by snags and sunken logs. After the boat had been run* ning some time, then logging commenced and the river gradually got , obstructed." "Have you any idea how many 1 snags there are in the river?" A. "I do not know." "Has the improvement in the lower t river affected the upper river, that is the depth of water?" ' A. "Not that I know of." a "You consider it important to get I out the logs and snags?" A. "Yes, it is not safe for a boat to go up there now." "The river at Pireway is 100 yards wide, how wide is the narrowest place in the river?" A. "Nonety feet. At that time one boat took care of us, now it woulc , take two boats to do the work re" quired." "Would an open river give you the II kind of transportation required to de s velop the country?" A. "Yes, we could then get the 1 fertilizer up and the crops down." "How about getting your timbei ? and lumber out?" A. "We would be better able t( s with better water in the river." r "Would you have a market for th< timber if you could get it to Con way?" d A. "Yes." "What is the land in that sectior P valued at?" n A. "Cleared land is valued at $5( n per acre. Timbered land is valued a ? $10 or $15 per acre for common, if i ~ is heavily timbered the price is high er." n "Will gum timber float?" A. "No." 0 "Have you any oak?" 0 A. "Yes, water oak." "Where do you get your fertilizer?1 A. "Little River, Loris and Moun w Tabor." "How long a haul is it?" A. "Eighteen miles to Loris, 1! r miles to Little River. We haul witl teams and trucks. The cost is $< per ton when the roads are in goo< condition. It costs $30 to $36 per to: 1. f. o. b. cars Loris. Some farmers us 1,000 per acre, and some 1,80 pounds; we use 1,600 pounds, eigh sacks. And it costs us $6 per ton t )r get it to our farm. We bought som >0 shingles from Bellamy when his mi was in operation, it is located be m> tween Wampee and Little Rive There is one other mill up thei ar about two miles from Star Bluf They sell locally." "If the shingles could be gotten t ? market, would that be a good Iocs h tion ?" A. "Yes." "What is the population of Pin way ? " A. "It is a town of about 60."

UKUVL^ ?iM v uu oacii uua, in THE HORRY HERALD, OONH The Bible Conference Meeting All the churches of Conway are united in a unique series of meetings called "A Bible Conference on the Christian Life." The meeting? are conducted by Dr. A. J. Ramsey, of Pasadena, Calif., and Rev. R. C. McQuilkin, of Columbia, who have conducted such meetings in all parts of the United States and Canada. This is the second Christian Life Conference to be held in Conway and last year Dr. Atkinson, of the Methodist church, characterized the teaching as Bible holiness in its highest and truest form. Meetings are being held every afternoon at four o'clock and every evening at 7:30, with the exception of Saturday. The meeting place is the Methodist church, as the most central location, but the Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist churches are uniting in the campaign which closes Sundav. January 28th, with two big union meetings at 3:30 to 4:30 and at seven in the evening. Is Jesus Christ a real Savior today? is the question the speakers have brought before their audiences. Does He really save people from Iheir sins now? Many people, the speakers said, have the idea that salvation is a fire insurance policy to make use of at death, and some people are not even paying premiums on the policy. But the Bible presents Jesus Christ as a present living Savior who will make a complete change in a man's daily life. It is possible to live without worry, to get victory in times of temptation, to have joy and peace and rest in spite of any hard circumstances. This, the speakers said is the good news that the Bible brings to men and women. The meetings are for Christians and also for those who are outside the church. A. E. Goldfinch is chairman of the committee in whose charge the meetings are.

FEEDING DAIRY CATTLE > Clemson College.?Feeds are used i by the dairy cow for two purposes, maintenance and production. The ? percentage of the ration used for j maintenance depends upon the size of . the cow, how she is protected from weather, the amount of exercise she ? gets, and' the amount of butter fat 1 and milk produced, so the dairy specialists say. > Other conditions being the same for practical feeding purposes the amount r of feed used for maintenance may be considered in direct proportion to the ) weight of the cow; that is, it will require twice as much weed to maintain 3 the body of a 1,000-pound cow as will . be required for one weighing 50C pounds, and one-fifth more for a 1,000-pound cow than for one weigh^ ing 800 pounds. However, there are other conditions which influence the amount of feec for maintenance. If the cow is ex J posed to cold rains and wintjs, mor? feed is used to keep the body wanr than if the cow is housed in a comfortable dry barn. Also if the cou is allowed the run of a large pasture with little grass, more energy, (therefore more feed) is used to carry th? i, cow over the many acres in search t of feed than if she is kept under i shed and furnished with hay or wher kept in a smaller pasture well sidded 2 The percentage of feed used for main , tenance is greater for a large cow r. producing a small amount of milk j than for a small cow producing i r large amount of milk. Normally 6( " to 70 per cent of the teed consumed n q used for maintenance and only 30 U . 40 per cent used for producing mill and butter fat. However, some smal ? cows which are very heavy produc era- may use as much as 70 per cen of feed consumed for production. The most desirable dairy cows ar r* those which are rather large wit! S1 great capacity for feed and along wit1 this the inherent tendency to conver feed into milk. The individual abilit 0 of the cow is in the long run the im x~ portant item in profitable productio of dairy products. Since the maintenance of the cow' e" body is such a big item in the cost c production, it is plain that the hig producers are the most profitable, an ? that it is cheaper to produce say 3 gallons of milk per day from 10 goo cows than to produce the sam amount from 15 poorer cows.

HTAY^S^O, JAN. 25, 1923 farmer will make on his home-grown feeds which are marketed through the milk cow. He may make a good crop of corn of 50 bushels per acre, but if this corn is fed to poor cows he may lose money on the cost of production. On the other hand, he may make only 25 bushels of com per acre and by marketing this through good cows make a reasonable profit on the growing of the crop. DOG OWNERS BETTER PAY Under the new law owners of dof?s six months old or over must get licenses from the county treasurer not later than January 31st. There will be a penalty of $5.00 imposed which with the tax makes $6.25 on all owners without license after that date. All school trustees are required by law to assist the treasurer in seeing that all dog- tax or penalties are paid by reporting any delinquents in their districts. C.

MUST TURN OFF I For the information of many who 1 have been inquiring:, it is stated that the Acts of 1922 include a provision aimed at the dazzling spotlight. The law says that no motor vehicles shall be operated on public highways with a .cut-out and that if they use spotlights these are to be extinguished at not less than 200 yards (600 feet) from an approaching vehicle. The punishment is a fine of not more than $100 or not more than thirty days on the public works, the fines to be paid to the county treasurer for the benefit of highway work. The same acts also permit a maximum speed of twenty-five miles an hour on public highways on condition , that so high a rate of speed is reason- . able in the circumstances, the burden ?? J xl-?. -J ? * ? ? ? 1V> onxcvjr ucill^ piageu Ult VUC UI'lVeT. The maximum speed is not tolerated ^ under the law, unless the highway be clear. * \ There has been increasing complaint against spotlights and it is likely that some of the chronic offenders will be hailed to a court to explain why the law does not apply to their vehicles. It is stated that some powerful truck? are operated with a single light and that a spotlight with a powerful beam that blinds those facing in its direction. Many passenger cars are also carrying spotlights, usually of high intensity. The law also requires that motor vehicles be equipped with two white lights in front and a red tail light. It is charged that this provision of the law is very frequently violated, a great many machines operating with a single front light and no tail light of any color. On the public highways, machines are entitled only to the section of road on the right of the center, so that if a machine be caught behind a buggy, and another machine is hastening in the opposite direction, the latter has a clear right of way, and ,those who persist in trying to squeeze through are looking for trouble. It is apparent that an earnest effort is about to be launched in order to bring about a better compliance with ordinary safety rules. o A nw A wn rtiva AUVCKi lSlINli The firm of Holliday & Floyd, of Aynor, S.
