Our farmers are beginning to see that there is money in other things besides cotton, and they arc taking advantage of the knowledge. The strawberry crop is a profitable one thnt gives the farmer returns at that time of the year when he most needs them. On the other hand it does not interfere with other crops usually planted. One should not expect to succeed at tirst in any business enterprise that he undertakes. No new busi nes8 can do well at first, unless under peculiar circumstances. The merchants, and men of experience in all lines of business, no matter how successful they are now, had to climb the hill slowly. Too many become discouraged too soon, when iMhey would holdout a little longer, the sky might brighten, and success finally crown their efforts. As in the business world so it is in agrfculturc. The tobacco farmer can not expect to realize the money from his crop that an old farmer would who has been raising the weed perhaps forty years or more. The farmer needs experience in his a\ cation. We do not. _say that ar business or calling is absolutely sm to succeed with perseverance am determination, but^our observatioi lias been that u man who will not stick never succeeds. A Word From Justice. Editor Herald:?Please allow me space to say a few words. We had the heaviest fall of hail hereon Wednesday that we have seen in twenty vears. The stock law seems; to be agitating the minds of many of our people. I wish to say a. word in justice to myself in regard to an article that appeared in your paper a few weeks ago from this postoftlce, "signed "Horry Friend." I knew 'nothing of it until it appeared in print. I hope this will correct a false impression made upon the minds of some of your readers. I think that *it is very good for us to express our views and exchange ideas on this subject but I think that we should be conservative as we cannot all see alike. We should consider this subject carefully and in our judgment cast our ballot as we believe would be best for the masses of our people. There has been a good deal said for the last few years about the new courthouse and jail and "no fence" law. We people here feel more interested in a railroad from Conway to Marion than in either of these subjects. Now, Mr. Editor, will you or some of your many readers, tell js how this may be accomplished, as we feel the need of it very much when we have to market our produce and have our fertilizers to haul from ten to twelve miles over a bad road.

THE "NO FENCE" l,AW. pinions Expressed by Form . ers in Different Sections of the County. Editor Herald.?Seeing so much i recent issues of your paper in roard to the coming election on the no fence" law. I am prompted to sk space in your |>aper (or a few ines on the subject, not wishing ny controversy, but simply to extress tnv opinion in opposition to t as one who knows whereof he peaks. It will ruin the "Independent Republic." Iam paying taxes on ver 400 acres of land and only bout 100 acres in cultivation. Villi the privilege of my woodslaud aken away from me, 1 would scarcev be able to pay my taxes with benfits I might receive from it. I will ask the merchant to renembcr the farmer on the day of lection. The farmer is the wheel hat turns tin* whole machine, and 1 low ask help to turn it to prosperity and not? to poverty. 1 want every old soldier in the rounty to turn out to the polls on lie day of election and help fight it lown as they did the Yankees in Virginia. Lets kill it so dead that .ve will not hear it for the next 50 rears. I ask every Christian and j diurch member of every denomina j tiou, also to go to the polls and show their love for their fellow man j L>v voting against this measure. 1 lsk every'good citizen to stand by me in opposing the "no fence" law. As an old soldier of the 60's I had rather stand four years of battle than have the "no fence" law imposed on me for the same time. J. C. Parker. Causey, S. C. Enmni Hp.RAr. i>:?I hope that this is the last year the fanners will have to depend on old spruce rails to protect their crops. This county is good for farming products and not much for good stock. I notice in last week's issue, that it was said that only 20 per cent of our lands are in cultivation. This may be true, and will remain so as long as it costs as much to fence it as it does to clear it. and more to keep it fenced than it will to fertilize it. The Taylorville correspondent says he could have sold one thousand dollars worth of hogs last Fall to Marion buyers, (bod reason for it. Marion is under the "no fence" law and this {makes herable to pay almost any price for our hogs and carry tliein over there and make line hogs of them. We could do the same if we did not have to fence land to feed our families, horses, cows and hogs. S. Shell, I. C. Editor IIkk vi,n:?I see in your paper that the ' no fence" law is being discussed in a lively way just now. This is as it should be. Let every voter fully understand the question, for almost anything that interests one farmer is of more or less importance to all of the same calling. I do not wish to argue 'he question with any one for various reasons, but 1 would like to ask a question or two for information. Some years ago it was thought by some of our smart men that there must bo a line fence erected between Horry and Georgetown, to keep Horry county from under, the "no r?.. 1 > i ' rm.!_ t . .1 . .i ICUUU law, i Ills UMlCf fAtlMlUlfU from the Waocamaw River to the Atlantic Ocean, a distance of about three miles, at a cost to the tax payers of something like three thousand dollars. This fence would not turn ctock, being run with only live barbed wires. Now, if the law is voted in, the county must build a fence at this place again, and in ad dition to this she must build a fence on the line between herself' and the State of North Carolina, anlistanee of about fifty miles, now for one of the questions if you please. If it takes three thousand dollars to build a line fence three miles that will not turn stock, how much will it take to build a line fence fifty hreo miles that will turn stock? ta careful voters, for upon your don may depend the happiness ov uiftcry of our children for genera tions to come. Some good things come too high. We want no bond ed debt on Horry County in this business. And then it remains tc be seen whether the law is a good thing for us or not. If what wc have been told bv honest farmers from those counties in this State and from portions of Nooth Carolina where the law is in force (and wc do not doubt their truth) then it is not the thing for us. If it will not better the condition of us wh( make the morey to pay all taxes and to support all other callings, ther who has the right to ask it? Tnos. A. Buown. Soca&tec, S. C. IMMTOK 11KKALI>:? 1 UI1) glad tC read anything- that gives light on the "no fence" question for or against it. Slurs and slang will not learn the people anything hut make each party furious. Please give facts. Whether it ought to come or not, I believe the fencing costs more than the stock. The stock is better kept up and fed for they make manure enough to pay for most of their feed. You can graze them in the Winter when it can't hurt your land. We need our timber for bettor things than making fences. Those who need pastures can unite and make large .ones that cost less than small fields. I am a farmer and run seven plows. 1 make corn, hay, fodder and cotton to sell every year. I am interested as a merchant. If the farmer makes money and prospers I make money. If they sink, I sink with them, not me alone but all people. Ninety per cent of the successful farmers in Marion like the stock law. I had rather take their advise than those who don't know anything about it. J. E. Norton, thirty or more .? . -?T .. ti-1 ? - 1. * j *?? years ago fought the rail road ?when someone tried to run it through the oountv. ITe was smart, but ho thought it to be a wolf. When Chudbourne wanted u railroad. I). B. nix rode a week to down it. Dix was smart. It was just a mistake in opinions. They thought it a wo|f too. There is no wolf in the "no fence" law, but a new enterprise just as the railroad w as, a progressive enterprise to help farmers to move on as in the past. Ciiaki.es F Spivet. Gideon, S. C. Editor Herald:?Please allow me space through your paper to say a few words to the farmers of Horry county. The time is at hand when we farmers should stand up straight or wilt. Only about three months and then starvation takes place?without our aid. Consider this matter as it is"a serious one and remember when we get the 4 stock law" it is for always and not for one season. Some of the correspondents speak of the hay rakes and pine rooters. We think it best for the owner of that stock to pasture it and not to vote for death upon it as nature has provided grass for stock to craze upon. Let us all meet at the polls and cast our vote against the law, as : tiie majority of Bayboro township will do. * * J. W. Bayboro, S. C. blanche Briefs. J. A. Pl.ipps has his tobacco barn nearly completed. John Turner, a well known tobae co farmer here, is now on a visit in the Northern States. The Rev. A. H. Roe filled his appointment at Joiner Swamp last ? Sunday. As for the "no fence" law we need everything else t?uI that. No marriages to report. J. r Wnnamaker News. I Plenty of rain and a hail storm | or two every week. I The farmers are about through j planting, and tobacco crops are fine. The boys treated J.

The voters arc not very warm on the "no fence" question, but they seem to have their minds made up on it. It would be hard to say which side has the most supporters, but 1 think the tide is a little in favor of it. J. | Daisy Dots. We arc having plenty of rain. /"I * 1 ... vrups are lootfing well in this section. N M. Todd visited friends here the latter part of last week spending Saturday night with \V. 13. Carter.
