The Conway spirit is not dead.

The conway spirit IS not dead.
 It has flashed forth with old-time brilliancy in the present crisis of the public school. With "The Conway Public Schools Shall Not Close" as it's slogan, the Conway spirit has as serted itself again in very substar- tial manner.
 With the banks refusing to extend further credit to the debt-burdenel school district and the board of di- rectors ordering the school to be clos ed indefinitely on today for lack of funds, 407 citizens up to noon today had subscribed total of $2,69225 per month for period of four months to finance the remainder of the pres ent session, and a large portion of the city remained yet to be canvassed Secretary William E. James of the school board said this afternoon that the order of the school board to close the school today was made condition al upon outside assistance not being. obtained. "The people seem to have come to the rescue" he said, "and the school will not close"
 This afternoon at 1 o'clock officers of the School Improvement Associa- tlon and the woman's auxiliary of the Conway Commercial Club are meet
 Ing at the home of Mrs. Opie Hartie. president of the auxiliary. for the purpose of arranging for a canvass | by the women of the residential sec tons of the city, which have not been reached in the canvass made by the | Commercial Club committees.
 A goal of $3,000 per month has
 been set and it was believed today that this would be easily reached if not exceeded when the canvass is com pleted For the monthly payroll S2,- ooo IS required and there are of course incidental expenses to be met. Tn any large popular subscription list there IS inevitably small shrinkage due to inability of subscribers to meet their pledges. With S3,0OO per month subscribed, it will take care of the entire cost of operating the school the remainder of the session without bor- rowing additional funds at interest from the banks.
 Inc school campaign was given ad- dltlonal impetus at last nights mass meeting at the public school buildino Due doubtless to a feeling that the emergency had already been practi- cally met, the attendance was not large, but those present were enthu- Slastic for the continuance of the school. The meeting was called to order by Mayor w. D. Cole. Short but inspiring addresses were deliver ed by William s. Cazort, J. I. Me Clurkin and Roy G. Bruce. Each of the speakers paid high tributes to Supt. R. E. Womack and his faculty and urged the extreme importance, not only of maintaining the school at its present standard, but also of rais- ing it's standard.
 Pres. B. W. Torreyson, who so suc cessfully led the subscription drive at the Commercial Club Tuesday night, was asked to take charge of the meeting for the same purpose last night. A large majority of tn, SC attending had already made their subscriptions, but additional sub- scriptions totaling about $175 were made at the meeting.
 The following list of subscriptions was tabulated up to noon today and totals $2,692.25 per month. In the list as published are included con- siderable number of cash payments, which for the sake of uniformity, have been divided by four, and the amount opposite each name is the sum pledged or donated monthly for a period of four months. As the list was prepared rather hurriedly, it is probable that there are some errors and omissions and the Log Cabin Democrat will be glad to correct them when it's attention is called to them.
