The Herald is a firm believer in
the great possibilities for industrial
development in Horry in agriculture
in commerce and in manufacture
and thtir allied brauches. Indeed

Workmanship of man to fashion
iiToin into articles of commerce cannot
help but wonder why such valuable
products of nature are allowed
to go to waste unimproved. There
is only one logical reason that we can
now think of why such a conditions
has been and is now allowed to obtain
and that is we do not appreciate
the gifts the gods have given us and
have not faith enough in the future
of Horry to induce as to put our
capital and energy into any enterprises
having for their object the
development of these resourses and
manufacturing thern into saleable
commodities.
One of the most inviting and attractive
fields of industrial development
and one which nevertheless
has been almost criminally neglected?that
is there has not been near
the attention given it as there should
have beeu?and that is stock raising.
We have always had an abiding
faith in tho possibilities of this industry
if given the attention it deserves,
In confirmation of this con
. : ? ...
buuiiiuu cumes farmor tins week,
telling what he has accomplished
along this line on four acres in pasture.
His statement, however, is
not full enough to form anywhere
near a correct estimate of tho profits
of his experiment, nevertheless
enough can bo gathered to lead one
to supposo that they were large.
Farmer commenced with three hogs
and a pasture of four acres. This
is the tirst outlay of capital and it
would bo better information had wo
been told the cost of fencing the
four acres and the cost of feeding and
caring for the three hogs up to the
time ho began to realize upon his
investment. The increase for tho
year was twenty-one hogs besides
2,4!)8 pounds of pork. If Farmer
had gone into details, giviug the
actual ax penditures and receipts of
L! ! * ? 1 " 1
ins uxperimeut ne wouiu nave furnished
valuable information that
would have proven a great help to
many of his brother farmers who
be glad to profit by his accomplishment.
We are not arguing for or
aguinst the stock law question, or
discussing it in any of its phases
for pastures can be made and improved
stock introduced without
disturbing present conditions in
the least. We are only endeavoring
to show the importance of improved
stock and its money value by
calling attention to the experience
of a farmer who has given the experiment
an honest and fair trial.
farmer says;
{ ?\bout a year ago when the conv/oversy
got so hot on the stock law
question, some of those that were
opposed to it, advised thoso that
wanted it to make pastnres and
shuu hp their stock, which was an
unjust demand. Anyway I took
their ad vied and fenced up about
four acres anci put iny hogs in it
with the following result: Christ'
mas day, 11)07, I had three hogs to
begin with and from those three I
have sold throe at $4 00 each, one at
110.70, one at $5 00, given away two
and have killed 2,404 pounds of pork
and have two of the saino ones that
I started with and 13 head besides
-ifow, if I am any judge this is proof
**\)f the pudding, and Horry county
will never prosper as she ought until
we got the stock law.

and most popular young men of
Horry county.
Jirnmie was always noted for his
good and quiet manly life. Different
from a good many young men,
he never indulged in those things
that lowered his character as a
Christian soldier. His life was
most promising and it seems hard
to give him up; yet his ihirty-two
years of service was a blessing tc
his county and his life was a
benediction to the young men he
met.
Just before his death he gave assurance
of peace beyond and wont
to his reward. He was buried at
Zoan the day following his death in
the presence of a large host of
friends and relatives

SDAY, JANUARY 21, 1909
Emancipation Day at Conway.
On tho first day of January a
largo number of Negroes from differeut
parts of the county were in
Donway for the purpose of attending
tho celebration of the Emancipation
Proclamation. That the celebration
was a success is beyond
juestion. We feel safe in saying
that tho success was far above the
jxpectations of the most sanguine,
when we take into consideration the
shortness of the call aud the disadvantages
under which the leadors
tiad to work. However, it was but
perseverance, push and an indomitable
will, evidenced on tho part of
the leaders that gave us the day.
The exercises were hold at Bethel
M. E. Church, The people were
there and seats wore at a premium.
L*rof G, W. Howard, B. S., vice
principal of the Graded School, of
Jeorgotown, S. C , was the orator
jf the day.
Prof O. \j. Levallie, the master
if ceremonies, in introducing the
ipeukersaid in part: "In tho seection
of an orator for this occasion, j
we took speoiul interest in seeing
ihat we get no one who might come
lere with red-hot theoretical ideas
that would only tor.d tostir upstrife
jetween us and our white friends
with whom we are living, and with
whom wo expect to continue to live;
jut, on the other hand, we thought
to get some one who is ennl h?v..i
leaded and conservative in his
k'iews pertaining to the welfare of
t,ho race and who would give us some
practical advices along the linos of
lviw to become better citizens." After
these, and other very timely
'emarks, Prof Howard was intro
lucod. Ho began by saying: "We
lavo.come to speak to you on this
)ceasion, not by any moans on anything
that would cause an antagolistic
spirit to bo aroused between
rou and your white friends of Convay
and of Horry county, because
his is your homo, and because wo
ully realize the fact that the Southand
is the best ho^o for us, and
ight hore we aro going to stay unit
the Master says, come up higher.
(Vo believe, not in strifes, but in
>eace. Wo have traveled some in
he north and also down in the east,
md our belief has been substantiatid,
that the white man of the south
s our best friend," fie continue:!
lis speech, giving some very good
idvices along the lines of good citzenship.
He also advised the negroes
to become substantial citizens
aid to make themselves worthy of
heir freodora. lie emphasized that
vork is honorable and necessary to
food citizenship, and that those who
io not and will not work should be
'ondomned and not only that, but
hat they constitute the criminal
lass, and hence, do not, by any
neans deserve our sympathy. He alo
emphasized the fact that we should
>e law-abiding citizens.
After recounting tho struggles of
he Negro since Emancipation and
he success ho has made, his advice
vas to go on and do better. The
nftpl'h WS1C ft rw? nnfl mit.lntn
j- ? v>u > ><>/ uiiu i u|;iuuu Willi
iund, practical advices, and the
3rofessor was listened to with adnirable
attention. He spoke for
me hour and closed amidst a great
pplauso.
After tho speaking, while the
jommittee on refreshments were
preparing the table, a procession
vas formed and marched from the
shurch down the main street and
)ack to the church where dinner
vas served to all. And there was
:ertainly something to eat, too!
shortly after dinner, a Lincoln
VIemorial Association was organised
with Prof O L, Levallie, as the
president, llenco, a greater celebration
is looked for on the next
irst of January.
Now, to the curious and inquisitive
mind in regards to the purpose
)f this organization: We wish to say
that its purpose is far from anything
that is not in accord with
jood government. Its chief end is
)o assemble our people on the first
jf every January hereafter for the
purpose of receiving such go:>d in'ormation
and advices as wo can get
Tom time to time from somo of our
eost reputable conservative leaders,
'eeling that by so doing, we will be
tble to accomplish much for ourselves.
Hence, wo feel that we have
ihe uuited support of our people
icreabout and the good will of our
white friends of the Independent
Republic of Horry. "O. L. L."

Mr Kditor: Please allow me space
in your valuable paper as this is my
first time.
I am glad that the writers to your
paper have stopped writing about
the stock law. 1 don'c think the
farmers of Horry are quite ready
for it yet. We have too much timber
and those who have no tunber
can buy wire for it is as cheap as
splitting rails and will last longer.
I don't think that God intended to
pasture the dumb beast, for they do
not know when they are doing right
or wrong. What makes the stock
mischievous is sorry fences and no
fences. The lawful fence is 4*
feet high and it looks like tiie farmers
of the county could keep the
fence that high and when the stock
jump over it, take them up and make
the owner pay for the damage.
Wo have planed a day to work
the cemetery here such as cutting
down the bushes. I will ask those
who have relatives buried at Hardee's
<,'ravo yard to meet on the
26tb of this month. We also want
to wire It in and it won't tako but
twenty-five cents all around to have
it fonccd in.
Best wishes to the Herald and
its many readers.
