SHOWS REASONS FOR NEW COURT Mr. Editor: Your issue of Oct. 2Gth. carries a letter from Mr. J3. G. Stanley, of Lor is, S. C., opposing the establishment of a County Court for Horry County. I am sure if Mr. Stanley will take the trouble to look into the situation he will change his opinion in this matter. Our Dockets arc congested without any prospect of relief. l>ast week Court was in Session from Monday morning- until Saturday afternoon. We sei down forty-nine cases for trial out of more than two hundred on the Docket. Nine cases were tried before the Jury, and there was no time wasted. Five of the cases tried has i>een on docket since 1919. The cases on our Docket represented business of our citizens. The proposed County Court is in the iwte.rpst of the citizens and not a scheme to benefit the lawyers. The people pay the taxes and have a rig-lit to have their cases heard. The County Court would have .iurisdict'fn in all Civil matters where not over Three Thousand Dollars is involved, except in land vases. So pratically all of our business could he handled by the County Court before six Jurors instead of in Common Pleas where twelve Jurors are empaneled to try issues of fact. Therefore, there will be very little "business for the Common Pleas, and we save the expense of that Court. The costs in Civil cases -are borne mostly by the litigants. The officers of the Court will receive no extra pay. The salary of the County Judge will be paid by the County, but the saving in other ways will more than compensate for that. Mr. Stanley says that Spartanburg, a large and prosperous County, voted down the County Court, a>nd intimates that this is the reason why we should not try it. There is no necessity for a County Court in Spartanburg, for the Common Pleas is in session in that County fourteen weeks each year. Two weeks beginning in Jan.; three (weeks beginning in Mar.; three weeks beginning in May; three in July, and three in November, while Horry has only two weeks of Common Plea?s,?Quite a difference. I {hope that Horry will adopt the County Court. Robt. B. Scarborough. WHISKEY PLANT HAD SUPPLIES Joe Sessions Place is Raided and the Occupant Was ' Arrested BIG LOT OF MATERIALS I Still "Located in Bay Three Hundred Yards From the House on Wagon Road The rural policemen are without doubt the worst enemies of tlie whiskey stillers who live in the sticks ! and ply their trade at all hours of the night, peddling their wares t<> ajl who may seem a good chance to make sale and keep the source of their supply unknown from the | policemen in this countv public. are in position to watch for the sources of monkey rum and tear up the crude affairs at which the juice is produced and catch the operators j if it is possible to do that. On October 24 J. K. King, of the i polico force, assisted by Federal prohibition agents, Stacey and Hanoison, raided the premises of Joe Sessions where they found twelve gallons of rum, fifty gallons of grape vine, one whiskey still, two still worms, and two sets of piping for Ftills. This operator it seems carried si supply of repair parts, so that in cfrse of an accident ,to his plant, he would not be delayed in getting new worms or new pipes from some hardware store. The still used was made out of si gasoline drum, about the same type that you usually see about the filling stations and county stores. It had ? copper cap and a worm. This was evidently V>ne of the busiest boor.e factories that the rural police of this county have ever had the pleasure of busting up. At the cf ill f U??aa U.??% J #?-#?! 'V?II *? UP wuiiu UllICC IIUIIUIUU ^ai" Ions of sour mash. This mash is the Ftuff from which whiskey is distilled. It is composed of the meal and water, or molasses and water, mixed together in barrels and left to stand the required length of time until it i.' in the right state of fermentation, and then when it carries an abundance of alcohol, it is ready to be run off in the still and the resulting product is corn whiskey in the one case, or rum in the other. The process of fermentation is one which "has had the worst said of it in regard to the sanitation and cleanliness about the work. Perhaps tho truth would be much worse. Knats, lKe. bugs, worms, flies, ants, bees, butterflies, rats, mice, lizards, snakes, blowflies, maggots, and even old ox beads have been reported as among the things found either floating round in these barrels of mash, or appear ing in the bottom of the receptacle.when the officers emptied them out At this Sessions still there U noth ing reported as to what the officers found in the barrels of mash. The officers also found at this still j thirty gallons of molasses, seven fer-1 ttvenrters, one flake stand, and one axe. I The slitt was located in a bay) !

Dusenbury raided the home of n Ella Jones last Saturday and took fifteen gallons of wine and a small t quantity of "monkey rum." ij The wet goods were found in a ^ smoke house. Armed with a search L warrant, the officers went to the home of the negro woman and found v the liquids in the outhouse. e While the officers were raiding the r smoke house, according to witnesses e who saw him leave, a white man went y out of the front door of the house in 1 H 1*11 nlfOn ctnti* n n rl w n a 1 <> cf coon in - _?

The smoke house is lo- t! cated behind the dwelling. s The officers raided several places q in the colored section of Conway about a month aero. At that tim<* it v vas doubtless the habit of other rj Mind timers to hide their wares. This lot of wine showed signs of having been buried for s6me time and mly recently taken from its hiding 5 place. There were signs of earth on Mie barrel and judging by these signs he barrels must have been thorough- ( v covered with dirt. j Ella Jones is the wife of Noah p Tones and she claimed that her hus-| 0 and had nothing to do with the \ vhiskey business, and that it was \ I conducted solely by her. x ! The officers had good evidences of her having dealt in the wine and ? whiskey and this is why they raided the place. : HOLMES RUSS 1 FOR SPEEDING ( Holmes Russ was taken before the j town council the first of the week ; ! on a charge of exceeding the speed I ( i:.?, 1 !

Qi MILEY BEST IS UNDER CHARGE V. D. Johnson, of the rural police, and Henry Grantham, of Galivants Perry, made a raid last Saturday, ui Galivants Ferry township, at tljjn premises of Miley Best, a negro, armed with a search warrant issued from the magistrate court. They found on the negro's placo fifty gallons of a fermented mixture, strong enough to knock a mule dead, much less make fools of men who night drink it. It was made up of >T.*ipes, peaches, corn meal, etc., and mixed together and allowed to sour and ferment. It was not very sani ary in its surroundings and contained enough alcohol to make one irunk. In another house nearby they found \nd took twenty-five gallons of a similar concoction. At last accounts no warrant ltfid >een issued for Best, but it was said hat he would soon be arrested and ried for having this stuff in his possession and for manufacturing the >ame.

SWEET POTATOES FOR LIVESTOCK Culls and Surplus Stock May be Fed WITH PROFIT. With Profit Clemson College, Oct.? The bulky nature of sweet potatoes renders them less valuable for a hop feed than for some other classes of livestock; however, hops mav be profitably used to dispose of culls and the surplus crop, says E. G. Godbey, Assistant Animal Husbandman. Very little experimental work ha? been done to determine the pounds of potatoes that are required to make 100 pounds pain on a hop, or to determine the pork yield per acre. Alabama found that 3.13 pounds of prain was required to produce a pound of pain when hops were runninp on sweet potatoes. Louisiana ;was able to produce 1,664 pounds of pork on 1.52 acre? of sweet potatoes by feedinp onlv 30 bushels of com. fThis was, of course, on land giving a very high yield of potatoes. OUR READERS MUST PAY UP The time has come now when read, ers of the Herald must renew their subscriptions or their names will be dropped from the list. In the Spring , at the request of many of our readers we agreed to carry their names over until in the Fall in consideration of a promise on their part to , pay then. We extended this credit for the reason that money was very scarce at that time, and those who , wanted to continue reading the paper every week might have to deny themselves of that pleasure if we required the money at that time; so we listened at the request of many subscribers to keep their names on the list and keep the Herald going to them while they were raising the crops of cotton, tobacco and food crops. Many of these have paid up long since and have their dates away over into 1923, but there are some who yet paid no dues and their names are behind the list* It is those that we are now speaking to and we want each one of them to listen. We want them all to read the Herald, but it is out of the question to furnish such a paper as the Herald without pay. This is a fair warning and has been made in (rood time. Call in and pay up and get your figures over into 1923, now before we have to take your names from the mailing list. While you are getting the paper is the best time to make arrangements to keep it coming. Listen at our request and bring in or send in this money to-day. The paper is only one dollar and fifty cents per year. Some of our subscribers have paid for two years at one time, which takes only three dollars. In this way they insure the continued coming of the paper and they save the time And troubta^rf*Paying often. letter to be heeded arrd wrwlll have to ack accordingly if it is not heeded, and that within a reasonable time.
