C J Prince recently killed five hogs
which netted 10113 pounds. The
hogs were but seventeen mouths old

beat in the State, and it shows what
can be done in raising bacon in this
county when it is gone about in the
right way.
The new warehouse on the property
of Col D A Spivey and which lie is

about which the Herald had something
to say a few weeks ago.
The Herald has recently added to
its equipment, a large iot of new

There was no Insurance on (lie
Plant, and the Loss Is Estimated
at Over $17,000. The Retorts

Tho plant of the Walker Chemical
Works, situated on tho Conway,
Coast & Western railroad, across
the river, in sight of town, caught
on fire last Saturday night about
10:30 o'clock and quickly went up in
flames. The manager, Mr L. D. (
McGrath, was in Conway attending)
the performance of tho Lyric Glee
Club at the Burroughs School Audi-)
torium, and the fire was not noticed
until the crowd was leaving the
school house after the entertainment.
A crowd of men went over
with Mr. McGrath and got there iji
time to save his dwelling from tie
flames and also an oil car and a e?'
load ol light wood that happened |>

bunk of the river and the wind blow
the flames the other way.
There were several explosioAfrom
the choa ieals stored about tl?
place. There was a large woodojj
tank on a small dock on the river
side. This was blown several hundred
feet up into the air where it
circled round and finally exploding
and throwing the staves and fire in
every direction, setting lire to the
woods on the opposite side of the
river. Near the railroad track were
three large steel tanks full of oil extracted
from pine knots. Explosion
of these tanks was expected every
minute as they slowlv had their
foundations burned from under
them, but in falling, the valves and
pipes were broken, giving air holes
through which the oil escaped. This
made the hottest fire of all, and made
such a glare of 'gas light, 'hat the
rails on th'; railroad truck could be
plainly seen in bright lines all the
way to the works by persons standing
at the river. The contents of the,
tanks were sometime in burning, but
they made a big fire and roared like
thunder. The oil in the three largcj
tanks is said to have been worth
$3,5^0 00 and that contained in the
tank on the dock was worth abouthalf
that sum. The total damage
wrought by the flames is estimated
at $17,000 00.

here to lake charge of the business,'
and he has the sympathy of the)
town in his loss. There was no insurance
whatever, as the insurance
companies will not insure a plant of
this kind.
Mr McGrath stated that the plant
would be rebuilt.

No. 42
"Docs Prohibition Prohibit?"
In view of tho fact that "Horry
Hoy misconceived the author of tho
article which ho criti/.es in this issue
and as there may ho others laboring
under tho same impression, 1
ileein it proper to state that neither
the Herald or its editor wore committed
to any of the views thorein
expressed. The Herald is no more
responsible for the views expressed
in the article under the caption'* Does
Prohibition Prohibit?" than it is
for the views of "Horry Hoy". It
was a sitfued article and as such
entitled to a place in the columns of
the Horry HeraM or any other secular
newspaper.
Now, in order that there may not
bj room for further misconception
and that censure, if there be cause
for censure, be placed upon the
shoulder of him who is alone responsible,
I shall use mv full name at
the close of this article.
In what respect was the article of
the ilrd January misleading? Was
it because 1 said the prohibition of
the sale of whiskey by lejral enactment
was a failure? If w, does not
"llorrv Hoy concede the correctness
of this contention audioes even
further and declares that the (droat
Architect of the Universe whose
laws are immutable and whose power
is unlimited in heaven as well as
in the earth could not and cannot enforce
a prohibitory law?
There is a distinction with a wide
dilVeronce between the crimes
enumerated bv "Horry Boy" and
w hiskev selling and wldskov drinking.
Since the tires and thunders
of Sinai both divine and human laws
have forbidden the first and permitted
t.hi'second. The prohibition
of the former, as far as it lies
wuuin iiumnn power to do
is essential to the preservation
ami purification of boll) divine and
bullion governments, as well human
society itself. To the contrary not
one ? ord was upon the tables of stone ?
forbiddir.nr the use of intoxicants and
human cover.:mont recognizes their
leei'imaev as articles of commerce
by le^.iiizim.f their sal" and society
upholds the government by enoourajjiny
their side and use. I can yo
further, but I am rot advocating
the n.discriminate use <.f wliiski y
but cmlcnd \ nat 'ihat if im.n will
drink and cannot be perya.uled not
to do so then legalize the sale of
whukcv 'hiouyh the di&p-usury
which pro\ id- > hat. no sale shall be
-1 ?
union ueioro sunrise or after
sunset, nor on Sundnv, nor I o
minors, nor to intoxicated persons.
nor in 1 ess quantity than half
pints.
" Prohibition in Horry has ?leereused
drink I deny the allcgu
tion and demand tin; proof.
No. column sense leaches nothing
of the kind, but it does
teach that as long as grain grows
man will make and use whiskey and
the preponderance of evidence goes
to show that the more convenient
it is the less is consumed because
smaller quantities are purchased and
less ofteacr.
' It is a deplorable fact enormous
quantities of whiskey is being shipped
into Horry" and as a consequence
of these "enormous quantities"
being unlawfully sold Horry
is deprived of a large revenue
from these shipments, now as long
I as whiskey is being sold in "enormous
quantities" and if our jails,
penitentiaries and asylums are being
filled with our boys and girls,
is there any rcaso n why Horry
should not receive a rovonuo from
its sale an order to help support
theso penal and charitable institutions'.''
Hy what rules of lo^io does
"Horry Hoy" reason that Wilmington
and other cities should ship
whiskey into Horry in violation of
the la-v of our Stato to debauch its
citizens and corrupt our morals? If
whiskey is to be sold unlawfully,
why not sell it lawfully under the
restrictions named above?
