THl INDAY AUG 31ST 1906.
It is reported that, in ail, the Japs
have raised TO sunken Russian ships.
It's all the same to them: they can
raise em or sink 'em just as the occasion
heppeus to demand,?The
State.
The Horry Warehouse generally
presents a busy appearance, showing
that it is selling its full share of the
tobacco this year. We have heard
no complaint with the prices realized
on this market so far.
The world likes best the man who
always looks on the bright side and
is always sustained by hope no matter
what his condition, no matter
how dark his prospects Such a man
is a delight to his fellows and will
be loved by them while his morose
and grumbling brother will be shunned
by mankind.
Those who arc constantly violating
the law themselves, show poor
policy when they begin to institute
criminal proceedings against others,
who may have violated ir. like manner.
It is a true saying, That
those who live in glass houses, should
not throw stones, and it applies as
well in this case as in any other,
The present rate at which the

gratifying. What we want to see
however is the establishment of more
and varied manufacturing establishments,
and the erection of nice
dwelling houses. The scarcity of
homes to rent is one thing that will
keep many people away from the
town.
The business couducted by the
Waccamaw Line of Steamers between
Conway and Georgetown and other
points up aud down the Waccamaw
has vastly increased since Capt. H. |
D, Williams took charge of the bus*
iness many years ago. One of the
results of this vast increase in freights
has resulted in the building of the
new passenger boat now almost completed
atul which will before long be
ready for initial trip to Georgetown
and return.
Everything points to this fall as
a good season for trade. The tobacOA
Ko o ? - 1
wy i uuo utru ui 11ji u^r vury
prices us compared with the prices
ot' previous years, and it is thought
by many who ought to know what
they are talking about, that the
price of cotton will remain pretty
good, and those farmers who have
not already disposed of all of their
last year's crop, may have a chauce
of yet doiug so at a living price.
Without a serious breakdown in the
market this fall, the farmers will
meet their obligations as a general
rule, and it will be a good year for
the merchants and other business
men
Those who hold opposing views
on the dispensary question will do
well to contlue themselves within
proper limits in their arguments,
because it does not pay men to make
enemies of one another over a political
question. As to any and all
questions of this kind men have been
differing in their opinions ever since
t ]?r> IVi il-l/l Vvr>iron o ..<1 u
...? .. ?. ... UVSIIII, UUU lUl'lC will Ot1
differences of opinion as long as men
live in tlie world. Ask a man the
direct question us to whether a man
is entitled to his own'opinion or not
and he will answer in the affirmative,
yet ia argument this common right
is forgotten sometimes and men actually
fall out with a brother and
think hard of him for the remainder
of thOir lives, from something that
has been said in the heat of argument.
Think well before you speak,
and always be willing to accord to
others the rights of free thinking
which you claim for yourself. The
liquor problem is one over which
men have differed perhaps more than
about any other when viewed as a
matter connected with civil govern,
ment. All sorts of solutions have
been tried but as often failed to solve
the difficulty, and men are differing
over it still.
Dt; \DLY MOSQLITOES.
What has caused so inanv inosquitoes
in Conway this vear? Some
claim that las* year, an ! for some
years before that time, a mosquito
was unknown at their places of residence
but that thev have been pestered
by them uo little ll> > summer.
Several explanations have been ottered
among others that the mosqui;
toes are a revolt of 'lie wet weather
and the open drains of the town
where water has been standinir for
some time. We are not certain that
the cause can be laid entirely to the
ojxm ditches, but it seems reasonable
as an explanation for the increase
cf the mosquitoes, and it is
reasonable to sav that a proper arrangement
of the ditches and drains
about town so that the water would
uot stand in them would decrease
these carriers of disease.
It is n >t disputed since the discovers
- and exjKTimeuts of recent years ;
that the mosquito is a carrier of fever
j^erms, and thai almost all fevers
may be laid at the door of this
small but troublesome insect. In
[taking precautions against the
spread of yellow fever, the largo cities
havo declared war against the,
mosquito and oil has been used on,
the surface of drains and pools where !
they would be likely to breed. No!
town can be safe from the ravages
of fevers where no attention is paid
to good drainage and mosquitoes are
allowed to breed in the pools and |
open drains and stagnant ditches.
Towns as well as individuals often
neglect those little precautions that
c*ost hut little, hul which if done in
time, would save a larger expense
and perhaps sav?> life. Good health
is a consideration that is too often
underestimated, un*il finally ill
health and death is the natural result.
If there is anything the town authorities
can do in the matter of
good drainage, those in charge of
the matter should get together and
do it as quickly as possible. Delay
may bo dangerous especially in the
face of repeated warnings. That
great results cannot be accomplished
is no argument in favor of inaction.
Whatever can be done, should
!m? done, no matter how little it may
appear.
As stated la>t week, in reference
to the death of Capt H. D Williams,
he was a man who paid strict attention
to his duties in life, and was
consequently not as widely known
as he might have been anions people
who had no occasion to becoue associated
with him in business transactions.
Hut to those with whom
he came in contact, Capt. Williams
was esteemed as a dear friend. He
had nothing but good will for everybody,
and he never interferred with
matters that did not concern him.
By his death Conway has lost a good
businessman, and the Waccam&w
Bine of Steamers, as a corporation,
has lost a leading spirit who was familiar
with every detail of its business.
It is not often that you hear talk
of new strawberry fields this year.
The bad luck of last Spring is enough
seriously to retard the trucking business
in this county and elsewhere.
There is no assurance that conditions
will be different next year,
and new farmers are slow about en
gaging in the industry. Well, everything
has to have its drawbacks, and
perhaps the strawberry industry is
not an exception to the rule. It may
bo that next year will see a fiue crop
and plenty of ears to haul the fruit,
those who plant 11 av make money,
and by another season the industry
in the Carolinas will have gained all
that it has lost.
Timb has been when the travelling
salesman through Horry county
: found it to be the best place in the
world to sell ranges, organs, and
such like merchandise on the instalment
plan at very high prices, taking
notes for most of the purchase
money and a chattel mortgage on the
property to secure tho notes. But
the farmers are finding out that in
this way the\ are made to pay about
twice the value of the article purchased,
and that they very often get
an article of inferior value and not
having the qualities as represented
by the salesman. They are learning
to watch the slick tongue J fellow
who comes up with a fine span of
horses, puts up for the night, and
shows a disposition next morning
not to depart until he has made a sale
of his range or other article. They
pay well for their hor*e feed and all
that, but they are sure to stop with
the man who is in need of what they
have to sell, and they know how to
use pleasant language and hold out
inducements thai are hard to resist,
The farmers are finding that the
cheapest way to purchase thes?
things is to wait until they have the
money in hand with which to pav
down, and then they can buy fron
the home mere!, mt or the distant
supply house at about half what the}
pay the travelling represent ^ ivos
The farmers of Ilorry county are in
telligeot as a people an J they art
leariwjg more and more and becom
ing wiser as time passes along.
Roberts Replies to Erdwnrds. John
son nn<J Citizen
(intended for last week.)
Crops good. Health good Fodder
pulling is over and grading to
bacco is the order of the day.
Mr. Editor, when 1 moved in this
section about sixteen year? ago, 1
found the people all good, quiet lion
est set of neighbors and ever siuct
then I have at times been sending ii
a few dots from this part of tin
neighlorho?)d, and if any one except
myself has ever wrote a word to an\
paper I don't think I have ever seer
it.
In the issue of August the 10th. 1
sent in a short communication from
this part and on the 17th Kdwards,
Johnson and Citizen all jump on iih
with gloves off, but they must re
member that the best fruit is alway>
on the tree that has the most chunk;
under it. They seem to me like tin
little gnat did, that lit on the bulls
horn and said, "go way little fly, 1
did not know you were there."
Now I abhor drunkenness as muel
>o as either one of them does. I dc
not advocate the dispensary no inort
than they do nor never have advoca
tea 11, u 111 u i- a raci and cannot b?
disputed that it is the best solutior
for the liquor problem that has evoi
been on record. The dispensary lavt
is alright, it is the people that iwron^',
ft seems like they can'i
enforce the law controlling the dispensar.y
Now if they can't, how cat
they enforce prohibition?
Now as I have said, I dou't advocate
the dispensary, but I think thet
had better let it stand like it is unti
they give us something better,
have no figures at hand, but I d<
know that the common schoo.s o
South Carolina haye been lengthened
twenty live to fifty percent by t. hi
dispensary and that is the only wa\
that the poor class of people have tt
educate their children.
There is many a poor child tod a]
that never would have known tin
alphabet. had it not been foi
the five schools of the county, and
am in for anything that will lengthen
the free schools of oui county
Some say we will fill that hole wit!
something else. Well, do that am
then lets do away with the dispell
sary
Now Mr. Edwards says he is ven
much surprised at a church membei
talking like 1 did. lam notsurpris^
\ \ f CM 1
<_?.? nv (luj) on rjuwurus says 01
dots, for he al ways shoots a kickim
gun and hurts himself worse thai
any one else.
Now citizen says, I should havt
used the word I instead of me, aiu
that if I was going to drink whiskej
and wanted it handy, that m:gh
have been an oversight in me, but
am a free man living in a free coun
try and I live at home and board a
the same place, and the latch string
always hangs on the outside. If
buy whiskey, I pay for it, and 1 d<
not get behind the door nor churcl
to drink it either.
Now, 1 am not making any tigh
either for or against the dispensan
an shall not make any. Mr. Editoi
please pardon me for occupying s<
much of your valuable time and pa
per 1 shall notice this nonsense n<
more, and with this I a done unlesi
1 am pulled into it for 1 had no idei
of going into a controversy witl
any one. ' L. Roberts.
