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."

-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 $<

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. Ala

in direct proportion to the profit

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

that all dog- tax or penalties are
paid by reporting any delinquents in

BAD SPOTLIGHTS !
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.
