Wi believe in the use of coramer- 1
cial fertilizers by the farmer, provi ,
ded that they are up to the standard, ,
but a farmer is apt to buy too much \
of this commodity to the neglect of (
making on his farm a sufficient: supply
of compost and other kinds of |
home made fertilizers. i
If the present rate at which the
tobacco industry is growing in
Horry is kept up for the next three
or four years, several new tobacco i
warehouses will be required here to
handle it, provided of course, that
Horry tobacco is to be sold on an
Horrr market
Tur. investigations boinp made in
the postoffico lepartment arc bringing
to light a great deal of rotten
ness A mere accident lead to the

goue 011 Indefinitely?a reproach to
the government officials who claim
to he so sharp and vigilant
The trucking industry is bringing
a large sum of money into circula
tionin'our community, and it is
with'gratification that we observe
that the amount increases with each
year. 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.

was smart. It was just a mistake

progressive enterprise to help farmers
to move on as in the past.

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

will do. * * J. W.
