( i The 3 F's?Food, Feed and Fertility. Clarence Poe figures out aht cot- 1 ton in 1920 is safe only as a sur- 1 plus crop, a prop to be grown on the 1 surplus acres after the 3 F's- -Food, < Feed and Fertility, are fully provid- 1 ed for. The four money crops which 1 he suggests arc cotton, Potatoes, < Kay and Hogs. Speaking of hogs, 1 two big Packing Houses are operat- < ing here in Wilmington, making a 3 .Land Market for all the hogs and cattle that will be grown in South 1 Carolina in the next five years. It 1 may not be generally known but statistics show that so many brood 1 sow8 have been sent to the slaughter houses in the United States dur, ing the recent slump in the hog market that there are less brood ' sow8 in the country now than have , been for many years. This means a j I shortage of meat next year and con- j sequently high prices "for hogs. . Conditions were never better for ] the Horry County farmer to get into ( the pork producing game than now. , In fact the sensible farmer cannot well remain out of it. There is no reason why a hundred carloads of | hogs cannot be sent out of the * County next fall and winter, bringing back more cash for the amount, of labor expended than any other crop. In producing meat as well j as any other crop we should try to j produce the most pounds with least ] possible expense of labor and cost. < It's just as easy to make a 2~>0 to ] 300 pound hog at 9 or 10 months , age as to make orte weighing 60 to j TK nmin/l<s if vnii hw?nrl fnr it. I " *? , The greatest mistake a new be- '. ginncr makes when he engages in the business of raising improved , breeds is the selection of his foun- \ Nation stock. He frequently consid- ? ers ptjjflp only and wants to know ( what the least money that will buy ^ a hog. Perhaps in the same breath he will say that scrub animals do j not pay, that he is selling his scrubs ( and will only buy improved stock, < and forgets that while he is trying . to get away from low prices he is t trying to buy the lowest priced ani- j mal he can find. The Bible says: j 4,Men do not gather figs from thistles, as ye sow so ^hall yc -eap." { Always remember that like produc- i es like, and that the man "Breeding ? the best animals makes more { money than the man who produces j poorer kind. This is a great big,', rich and prosperous country. Farmery are able to buy any thing they w&v^Tand they have money to pay j nnw fViincf thnxr want Thow ViAs: ^een a gain in live stock values in j the United States in the past 12 f months of 546 million dollars, this ( means on the farms of the United , L States.

SERMANTToiT IN MEXICAN ARMY El Paso, Texas.?At least two Germans were fighting in the Mexican irmy on August 27, 1918, at Noga cs, according to the testimony of "apt. Frederick T. Herman of the Eighth cavalry, before the senate subcommittee investigating the Mex ican situation. He said their bodies were f^und miong %he Mexicans killed. Captain Herman, a lieutenant col mel commanding at Nogales at the time of the fight, denied the official statement of the Mexican command31* that the Mexican force was composed of civilians. The investigation of the action and incidents preceding it, he said indicated clearly that most of the Mexicans engagod were soldiers, although \ majority wore civilian clothes, ?nd that fighting had been planned *nd was directed by their commanding officer and his assistants. The American casualties were five killed Vi;dd 3i wounded. Three civilians also were killed and five wounded. The Mexican losses were not learnv sd but the United States army intelligence reports were submitted to show the Mexicans buried at least 115. Much of the testimony was take.i in executive session. It hud to do with the forced evacuation of the Mormon colonies in Chihuahua. The committee also learned details of the efforts made by American miliatry authorities to have brought to trial Lieut. Juan Azpeitia for the murder o" David Troib, an American soldier on December 28, 1918. He was killed on the Mexican side near El Paso. Negotiations resulted in three exnminntmns nf fV?<?

The county has oversubscribed its quota, and later returns will increase this figure to a degree. At Conway $1 390 was subscribed, and $50 was sent to the Chairman this week as a result of the meeting; at Wampee $330.00 was subscribed; at Little River $159.60; at I.oris $396.75, making a total subscription for the county of $2,326.35. Those in charge of the movement in thjs county limited their efforts to four public meetings at which graphic and stirring addresses "*were delivered by N. A. Boyajian, Armenian law student of the Univer sity 01 oouui Carolina. mi*, tsoyajian in addrescs at Little River, Loris, Wampee and Conway moved his hearers deeply and generous offerings were the result. The entire campaign occupied only three days and resulted in the material oversubscription of the quota. Horry is one of the first counties of the State to . go over the top and considerable local pride is being felt in that fact. . TOBACCO WILL MAKE HORRY INDEPENDENT Regardless of Ravages of Mex ican Boll Weevil Now in County LANDS ARE WORTH THOUSANDS PER ACRE! Feople of Horry County Ays Immensely Rich and Fail to I T? i: Ti a tri-'i ? xweanze xi ouys visitor. An experienced tobacco man from the North West was here in Conway' lest week and remarked that the i people of'Horry County were inde-j pendently rich and did not know it. j That here were the best tobacco1 lands to toe found anywhere, and in fact lands the like of which for th^j production of a certain grade of leaf tobacco, hot to be found in many ( other sections of the world; that the. land is worth in the course of tim j at least one thousand dollars poi-( acre; and that regardless of the boll weevil which might put cotton raising out of business, that the farmers of Horry County are independ ent because they can raise tobacco. He also said that tobacco is something for which there is a growing demand across the water and that the people are fighting for it over 1.1 i* '' " ? mure now. ne saia xnax xne prices of the weed ?will be high again this year and he believes that it will be high for all time to come. If what he says be so, and he i* about right, we think; then the tobacco growers of Horry County, arA since hi rings of 1918. irdecd fortunate and will continue t< bo so. / / B 9* , FEBRUARY 19, 1920. AUTO MECHANIC jl ANSWERS CHARGES Left Conway Leaving an Unpaid Board Bill and Other ] Charts. J ( Dock Tanner, a mechanic, who had *\ been employed at the Nicholas Gar- 1 age in automobile repair work for J fhe last several months, went away c on the early train )a>t Wednesday I morning. After he left a warrant r was sworn out on charges that he i had collected a sum of money some where about $100.00 and had not ao 1 counted for this cash before he left, t It was also stated that he had no? ] paid his board bill which had been v running for about two months and charges were 'made on this ground. t When the papers were placed with < the Sheriff he sent telegrams to j I several cities asking the authorities J ] 1;o arrest and hold Tanner until he j 1 could send and feet him. The Sheriff ( was informed Thursday that Tanner ] had been arrested in Columbia and r was being held awaiting his arrival. < The papers were sent over to Colum ( bia the latter part of last week and ] the defendant was brought here to ] answer to the charges. ] LATER. 1 Dock Tanner, who was arrested in ] Columbia last Week under two charg ] cs, one by Kingston Hotel for an al- i lrged "skipping" of board bill, the other by J. E. Nicholas that he halj< committed grand larceny, is now going about his business in the usual inuiiiiv^t . me vunwa)' m. usv me American Legion investigated his 1 case, found that the charges were probably not well founded and be- . came responsible for any arrears of ] board, thereby securing a withdraw- < ai of the Hotel's warrant. They then 1 made bond for Tanner for his ap- ] pearance at Court. Nineteen mem- j bcrs of the American Legion par- ] ticipated in securing his bail.

VIGOROUS PROTEST TO PROPOSED SALE By Shipping Board of Thirty Former German Liners? Sharp Debate in Senate "Washington, Feb. 13.?Vigorous opposition to shipping board for the sale of thirty former Gel-man passenger liners broke out in the Senate today, expressed in sharply critical debate and presentation of several resolutions proposing to block the action. While the debate I was in progress, other developments came thick and fast. John Harton Payne, chairman of the board, appeared before the Senate commerce committee to explain the whole affair and after healing him the committee, through i* : chairman, Senator Jones, of Washington, reported to the Senate that no immediate action was neces ary. No action accordingly was taken. At the White House there was made public a letter concerning the proposed sale sent by M \ Payne to the President, which remarked on the "vicious but characteristic attack against the shipping board emanating from a certain quarter regarding the sale of the cx-Germaa passenger ships." Heart Asks Injunction. In the District of Columbia Supreme Court, William Randolph I Heart, of New York, appearing as a tax payor, filed an application for ar injunction to prevent the proposed sale of the ships at auction. The court issued an order requiring the board to show cause why a temporary injunction should not be issued. Chairman Payne assured the Sanate committee and his assurance* were repeated to the full Senate, that the beard would merely receive this for the vessels, and would report the results to the Senate before acting. He met charges that the sale of th vessel* to a single purchaser for $28,00G,j 000 was intended with a flat denial, 'but repeated his own conclusion that the sale of the vessels to American private owners at the i present time was to the advantage ! 01* the government. o BRICKS ARE SCARCE. Orders for building brick recently j sent to brick yards in Georgia have 'so far failed to result in obtaining any of that material for persons here who are ir. need of it. The orders were acknowledged and it was thought that the cars would come through in a short time*. K?.i- 1 _ i - - 1-44 ! * ' ? uut iuici luuers were receivcu Slaving that owing to high water in tho rivers, and also the shortage of labor and cars furnished by the railroad company, there was no telling' when the bricks could be shipped.
