not at all an absorbing one; for the

sic Elliott, has just opened the Blue
Moon Tea Room near the hotel.
The latest and most notable addl-
ton to Myrtle Beach is the Yacht
clubhouse. This is most attractive
three-story frame building on the
ocean front. A pier is now being
built to extend out to pavilion and
allow landings. Some Of the boys
suggested that the pier was to be
built out beyond the three-mile linn
it. The Yacht club has 200 members,
mostly from the Pee Dee section and
a thoroughly modern and attractive
clubhouse. A group of newspaper
men enjoyed real seafood dinner
at the Yacht club and heard some
new stories.
At no time and at no place have
the good people been so general in
their hospitality and in the earnest
ness to bring pleasure. Scores Of
business men gave up their time, the
use of their automobiles and in most
cases drove their cars from Marion
to Myrtle Beach and back again, over
12O miles. They enjoyed it because
they like such things and they like
to herald the joys of living in Horny.
In this group among those met
were Marion A Wright, Henry Buck.
Mr.. Burroughs, Hoyt Mcmillan, T. E.
Watson, A. C. Thompson, Congress
man R. B. Scarborough, Mr.. Sher-
wood, Col. D. A. Spivey, George j.

The newspaper workers were all
luartered in the commodious Myrtle
Beach hotel and they had and used
the opportunity of comparing notes.
They talked shop, and strange to say,
2ary little politics. No one seems yet

liar boast?
Let me borrow from handbook
issued the day the newspaper folks
gathered at Myrtle Beach few
facts about Hrory. Perhaps too lit
tie is known of this progressive
county tucked away in the far cas-
tern section of the state:
"The depredations of the boil wee
vii have been perhaps less felt in
Horny county than in any county in
South Carolina. The production of
cotton has always been practically
negligible, the average crop being
around 10000 bales. The invasion
of the weevil has caused none of the
frantic shifting to other crops which
has characterized other sections of
the state and South. Diversification
has been the consistent policy Of
Horny farmers for a generation or
more.
''The chief money crop of the
county is tobacco. The average crop
totals some 100000 pounds, A.
100000 pounds of which are sold on
the Conway market. The prices for
tobacco until the last two years have
yielded splendid income to the far
mers. AS soon as the period of de-
preston has been passed there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the price
for the weed will return to normal.
"Some $4,000 barrels of Irish po-
tatoes are shipped each year to Nor
thern markets. Depending some
what on market conditinos, this crop
has usually proved quite profitable
and will doubtless become more at
tractive in the future. The soil sur
vey bulletin makes the following
statement:
''The production of Irish potatoe;
has increased materially as result
of the present demand for food prod
ucts. The center of production is IN
the vicinity of Myrtle Beach, one
farm near that place having over
500 acres devoted to the crop Near
ly every farmer plants from two to
ten acres Of potatoes. Growers est,
mate, the profit in this crop from
S1OO to $50 an acre.
Horny county raises More thar
enough corn for home consumption.
During the past few seasons corn has
been shipped to other points, and the
outlook is that the export OF this
crop will grow in coming years. lac.
cording to the soil survey bulletin
the acreage of corn is almost equal
to that of all other crops torbin' 4
another moner crop Of s3m9 I'M.
portance is Strawberries. The pres
ent season has witnessed the paying
of splend'f: prices FIR berries. The
revenue derived from this source is
leading more and more farmers into
planting a part of their lands in this
crop. During the next season ship
ments will be made in carload lot;
from Conway and Loris. The soils
of the county are especially adapted
to berry culture"
