supervisor of the State Department of <
Education, that without the assistance

sentiment behind the movement, and
Lhe factor which supplied much of the
ictual labor of the campaign.
Members of the Chamber of Commerce
know in a general way that the
campaign was successful. Perhaps the
statistics have not been available to
[ill members of the Chamber, and it
may not be out of place to include
them here.
There were 724 adult illiterates reported
in 48 school districts. Of these,
393 learned to write thir names. One
hundred and sixty-seven learned to
read, 224 learned to write. There was
an enrollment of 710 in 32 white
schools. There was an average attendance
of 439 in the white schools. One

The enrollment in the negro schools
was 51, and the Average attendance
was 45.
These statistics, which represent
perhaps a fractional part of the actual
value accomplished, indicate clearly
that the campaign was entirely successful.
A feature of this work was the publication
by the Chamber of Commerce
of a small newspaper called the Torch
Bearer, which was distributed broadcast
throughout the county.
River Improvement
The year covered by this report has
witnessed the inauguration of two
projects on the Waccamaw River
win doubtIe?w have considerable
value to the town. The expenditure involved
was not great. I refer first to
the removal of the rock shoal in the
bed of tho river a short distance below
the plant of the Conway Lumber
Company. It will be recalled that for
many years this matter has been agitated
by the Chamber of Commerce,
and agitated by individuals prior to
the formation of a Chamber of Commerce.
Some months ago Col. Ed par
Tadwin, district engineer, came to)
Conway for a conference with officials)
of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. H.
W. Ambrose, secretary and treasurer
of the Conway Lumber Company, was
called in and the importance of removal
of this shoal was stressed. Col. Jadwin
asked that certain statistics be
submitted to him in writing, which
was done, and he made a favorable report
recommending that the work be
undertaken. The government dredge
"Wateree" has been on this work for
some weeks and is understood to have
practically completed the job. Those
familiar with this improvement state
that it will now be possible to bring
seagoing vessels to the docks at Conway
for lumber and other products, to
be exported.
The second improvement of the river
was the snagging of the Waccamaw
from Conway to Star Bluff. This is
understood to have put the channel in
much letter condition.
Through the efforts of Congressman
Philip H. Stoll, and Senators N. 13.
Dial and E. D. Smith, a provision was
inserted in the last rivers and harbors
bill providing* for an investigation into
the advisability of opening up a
four-foot channel from Conway to
Pireway, N. C. This action on the part
of our representatives in Congress
was taken entirely as a result of representations
made by the Chamber of
Commerce. Pursuant to the authorization
given by Congress, Col. .Tadwin
held a hearing in Conway on January
10, at which time he heard statements
of all interested parties on the proposed
improvement. The Chamber of
Commerce sent letters to manv citi"ons
of Wampee. Little River, Red
Bluff, Longs and Pireway urging their
attendance on this hearing, and to
tho.se letters ther evvas a very large
response. The statements were taken
down stenographically and the record
constitutes a very good argument for

.he proposed improvement.
This improvement has far more
than a merely local value. It has adied
significance by reason of the fact
:hat if carried through it will bring us
i step nearer to the completion of the
nland waterway , which has long
*ince ceased to be the iridescent dream
;hat many have supposed it to be.
Stonewall Highway
Another project, the value of which 1
>nly the future may determine, which '
iiiivt iiic acuvc v auvi irutuuia^cment
of the Chamber of Commerce, (
was the formation of the Stonewall *
Highway Association. This association *
was organized at Myrtle Beach on
June 8, 1922. Since that time other
meetings have been held at Florence, c
Jefferson and Asheville. The avowed 5
purpose of this association is the pro- ^
motion of a highway extending from 1
Chicago to Myrtle Beach. While this
order is a large one and may not he
immediately realized, ttye association (
will doubtless do some good in im- ]
provement of the route from Knox- 1
ville, Tennessee, through to Myrtle I
Beach. By arrangements with the U. i
S. Automobile Association, the route (
has been marked through a part of its I
length and maps have been issued cov- <
ering the section from Myrtle Beach i
to Knoxville. An ample number of 1
these maps have been placed in hands I
of chambers of commerce, hotels, garages
and filling stations along the <
route. The distribution of the maps <
will doubtless give this highway some <
publicity and will make it easier to se- i
cure improvements by legislative ap- <

road building forces. 1
When the recent $00,000,000. bond :
issue was l>efore the assembly, copies '
of the map were placed in hands of ;
members of the committees having
this bill in charge and other leaders :
in the general assembly. It is hoped
that by giving proper publicity to the
highway as an established route, the
legislature may be induced to provide
for its development in future appropriation
measures.
Retail Merchants Association
At the request of several merchants
of Conway, the Chamber of Commerce
took the initiative in promoting the
organization of the Retail Merchants
Association. Petitions were prepared
by the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce cal 1 itig a meeting of all interested
merchants in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms some months ago.
The attendance was sufficient to warrani
the formation of the association,
which has been firmly established.
It was felt that while practically all
oi the members ot the Ketait merchants
Association are members of the
Chamber of Commerce, there are certain
matters of peculiar concern to
merchants, and that these could best
he handled through a separate organization.
New High School
The closing year has witnessed the
completion of an enterprise with the
origination of which the Chamber of
Commerce is proud to have at least a
casual connection. I refer to the addition
to the Burroughs High School,
which was made available for use
some months <nco.
This much needed improvement is
the outgrowth of a strenuous but unsuccessful
effort to secure the Pee Dee
academy which the Baptist denomination
planned to erect in Horry County.
Citizens of Conway offered four splendid
building sites, .$37,000 in cash, and
other inducements to secure this academy.
The decision was unfavorable to
Conway. The idea was then advanced
that if Conway people were willing to
contribute that liberally toward securing
a new school, they would doubtless
be willing to vote bonds for the im
provement oi the public school which
they already had. In March, 11)21, officials
of the Chamber of Commerce
called a meeting in this room of the
chamber's committee on education, a
committee oi me 1'aien*-1 uucher s
.Association, and a committee from the

Civic League, at which time the needs
>f the Burroughs High School were
thoroughly canvassed. A later meetng,
to which the trustees and Superntendent
D. B. Alexander were invitid,
was held. The result of these conferences
was that bonds in amount of
?G0,00() were voted and the work bewail.
It is undoubtedly true that this im
movement ot the local school plant
vould have come in the course of time
-vithout action on the part of the
Chamber of Commerce; but there can
ie no serious controversy over the
'act that the chamber's action h/isten;d
the day.
School officials are now very much
:oncerned with providing an adequate
;chool library. In this effort the ser/ices
of the Chamber of Commerce
bV'il 1 t>e cheerfully extended.
Agricultural Work
Early in February, the Chamber of
Commerce took up with Congressman
Philip H. Stoll the question of distribution
of seed in this county. Mi*. Stol!
forwarded to the Cluunber of Commerce
five mail sacks of various kinds
if seed for free distribution. These
nigs were turned over to the banks of
Conway, which have been very helpful
in distributing these seed among
farmers and gardeners of Horry County
Since the withdrawal of a farm

now being sent to the Chamber of
Commerce. The chamber is not in position
to give these pamphlets and
tracts the distribution which they
should have but is, within reasonable
limits, attempting- to circulate them
among the farmers.
At the opening of the tobacco season
of 1922, the chamber's committee
on agriculture prepared advertisements
which were run in the local papers
urging tobacco growers who were
members of the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative
Association, to deliver their
tobacco at the county seat; and at the
Bame time urging the independent
growers to sell their tobacco on the
auction market at Conway. Substantial
reasons were advanced why the farmers
should pursue that course. The
committee also issued a letter to all
members of the association advancing
the same suggestion as to delivery of
tobacco here. It is, of course, impossible
to estimate accurately the result
of this effort, but there would seem to
be no doubt that the effort was entirely
worth while.
At the request of the Horry County
Strawberry Association, the Chamber
ot Commerce has taken up with the
South Carolina Railroad Commission,
and with officials of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway, the nuitter of giving
a more favorable rate on strawberries
than had been previously deJifWir'i*

the Chamber is still hopeful of securing

and the filling of that car at other
points on the route north. The quantity

to pay for space which is not utilized.
Health Work
In the field of promotion of public
health and treatment of diseases, the
Chamber of Commerce has felt that
the Civic league was in better positio
to promote these activities than the
Chamber of Commerce would l>e.

Officials of the Civic League have
been naturally better fitted to render
them the service which 'they needed
and in that work the Civic L/eague has
been extremely efficient.
However, the Chamber of Commerce
stood by and performed some
of the manual part of the work. It
sent to all postmasers in the county
posters to be placed in their offices
advertising the tubercular clinic and
the child welfare clinic, which were
held; it wrote to men and women
throughout the county inviting them
to attend a luncheon given in this
hall, at which time a county nursinjr
unit was organized; it furnished the
field worker in the tuberculosis work
with a list of families throughout tl e
county in which cases of tuberculosis
had been reported; in many instances
it provided' transportation for this
worker to homes of the afflicted; it
gave all proper publicity in the local
papers to the. health work, and it did
whatever else was suggested or requested
by way of making this work
effective.
Grievances
During the year, through its grievancps
committee, the r?f
Commerce has taken up with the post
office department the matter of supplying1
a sufficient force of clerks in
the local post office to attend to delivery
of mail and parcels, the issuing1
of money orders and the like, v iihout
the congestion which has frequently
occurred at the office window. Several
letters have been exchanged between
the grievance committee and the post
office department, and an unqualified
promise to relieve conditions has been
secured.
The Chamber also liled a protest
with the South Carolina Railroad
I Commission concerning a tariff on ice
which would seriously cripple ice shipments
from Conway.

Following is a copy of a letter re'eivo/J
by M. D. Stevens, manager of
the Loris Co-operative Warehouse:
"Dear Sir:
"I write to give you my first year's
experience in selling tobacco co-operatively:
"In 1919 we sold our crop of tobacco
at an average of 25 cents per
pound; our 1920 average was 19 cents
per pound; our 1921 average was 20
cents per pound.
"In 1922 we sold to the Tobacco Association
and have received three payments
which makes an average of 39
cents per pound, and another payment
yet due.
"When we receive our la<t payment
we will be nearly, or quite a hundred
per cent above the three-year average
under the auction system. The two
systems of marketing are as divergent
as the cardinal ooints of the com
pass; one tends to poverty anil despondence,
and the other to prosperity
and independence. Our first year's
experience with the association is
highly gratifying.
Yours verv truly.
