l> ' > t Horry. | In reference to the men who did business in tin* county in the dark days now passed, mention of whom was made in my last, instalment, should be added the names of Bur roughs & Collins, at Cool Spri g? 11 11 Burroughs malinger; the same liim at Hrnntsvilie, with CO Holmes as manager; 1 T Lewis, at Lewisv?l!e, of which \V H Lewis was the manager, ami lliggins CO llanta at Star lilufT, or Wampee. .1 have ton ojied upon every phase of country life as it existed then and as it existed for a long tunc after, with the exception of the political afiii a: ior of the people, which was intensely Democratic) but of this 1 will have more t<> say later on. So gloomy was the prospects that her young nun, seeing no ray of hope for them to better their condition; no field of promise in which to develop and < xercise the gifts that Hod gave them and carve out for themselves a destiny of glorious achievement that they sought out more promising fields of endeavor in other States. There is scarcely a home in all Horry but what there has */ not, gone out trom it some loved one driven from it by their unpromising environment to seek a name and a place in the lanks of the world's successful sous. There were but few mothers whose hearts were not lacerated a id bleeding over-tile absence of a son who hud left the light of home, dim as it was, to seek a livelihood in strange lands and among strange people. Horry has contributed of ninscleand brains the flower of her youth to build up and develop the resources of other counties in other States. The political history of Ilorry is unique in that it was the fir tcounty in the Stiteto throw off the degrading yoke of negro domination and to her belongs the distinction of driving the entering wedge into our body politic which was destined to split asunder the power of scallawag j mU-governmeut and put an end to radical stealing. There is a tradition that says llorry won her nickname "Indcpi ndent Republic" from this fact 1 understand that the voting strength of llorry far exceeded that of the negroes and after the first few yours of the radical regime she was able to gain control of the county government without resorting to fraudulent election 1 methods to do so which nearly all, if n.t (juite all, of her sister comities were guilty of, but which under the circumstances were excusable. In this respect her escutcheon is untarnished. But strange as it may appear, yet nevertheless it is a fact, tn?t notwithstanding her political independence and her certain Democratic majority, not a single son of llorry was rewarded with a State, Congressional or judicial office from the Hampton revolution of 1876 to that of Tillman in 1890. The claims of Horry weiedi regarded-they were not even considered. Marion lawyers dictated the political policy of Horry and controlled her vote. To have even hinted at a llorry citizen being elected to any of the State offices or to that of a judge, or solicitor or congressman would have been nothing less than high treason against the Marion politician who pulled the strings. But once during that time w is an effort made to break the inllueuce of Marion and that was in an independent move ment led by (.'apt T W Daggett, A 11 Shipper, 1 T Lewis and several others whose names 1 cannot just at this time recall, but they will be obtained and appear perhaps in a revised addition in another form, which is assuming shape. This movement w>i? nnl? m a..~ .. j in i'm b ram; ceseful by the election of A II Ship per to the J louse of Representatives by * lie largest majority it id said up to that 'lint! ever given a candidate, nut at the election of 1880 thin movemement met overwhelnrng defeat at the polls and the hydra head WU8 crushed so badly that it has never again raised its head in Horry While this light at that time was purely local in its nature, yet its ultimate object w a the elevation of Judge Waled) to the circuit nench Had it developed strength enough to make and enforce the demand. Th< most prominent leaders of the Democracy was the lion T w neat.y, af terward State Senator, Judge vralsh col c P Qua' tlebaum, Dr Evan Nor tou and n G Collins, The political star of Jeremiah Smith, afterward known to his constituency as tht "Sage of Socastee." was in at be ginning to appear ia the horizon, The leaders of the ltepublicun partj were Gush Thompson, George Single on and others and the god before whom they foil down and worshipped was the notorious K H Deas, (be coffee oolored geutlomen from Darlington.

The old Greeks and Romans were great admirers of health and strength; their pictures and statuary made tho muscles of tho men stand out like cords. As a matter of fact wo have athletes und strong men?men fed on lino strength making food such as Quaker Oats?that would win In any contest with tho old Roman or Greek champions. 2 It's ft matter of food. The finest food for making strength of bone, inusclo and nerve Is flno oatmeal. Quaker Oats Is the best because It Is pure, no busies or stems or black specks. Farmers' wives are finding that by feeding the farm hands plentifully on Quaker Oats they get tho best results In work and economy.
