THURSDAY. JANUARY 4. 1912,
lb is quite evident that some more j
sand is needed on the Conway
Main Street, which when mixed
thoroughly with the clay that wat
recently placed thereon, will obviate
a lot of the mud that b&3 been Dolh'
ering the travelling public.
' Let us all endea/or to make the
year 1912 more prosperous than any
year in the history of Horry. We
can if we will. Lot us start out
with the fuil determination to will
if we can,
Th? way some beasts of burden
are being cruelly and unmercifully
driven and beaten by drivers hereabouts,
a Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals could
get in some mighty merciful work
not a thousand miles from Conway.
Robins, while not yet numerous,
have made their appearance. Remember
that this bird is protected
under the laws and a fine of $10 for
each bird killed is the penalty. The
Audubon society, of which Mr James
Henry Rice, is the alert and efficient
secretary, has Wardens all over
the State, who have imperative instructions
to bo watchful and active
and to proscute all violators to the
lull extent of the law without regard
to race, color, previous condition
of servitude, age, sex or family
connections. A word to the wiseis
sufficient.
The failure of a grand jury to return
a true bill by no means re
lieves the accused from future indictment
for the.sameofifoDse. If this
is a true statement, which we think
it is, then it may bo considered as a
setfcied fact that, notwithstanding
the glittering generalities and the
brilliant pyrotecnic display which
we have heard and seen coming
from Atlanta, Mr Felder will never
put his foot on South Carolina soil
as long as there is a possibility of
an arrest and trial and take the
i . '
stump against the candidacy of the
re-election of Governor Blease or for
V.villw _ _
that matter any otbe?j:{$>uth Carolinian.
We take it and so state
that if Mr Felder is guilty of graft
in connection with the original
winding up commission of the old
dispensary; if he has violated the
etheics of his profession and has
been unprofessional in the conduct
of the cases in which he was the
leading counsel; if he has used the
power, the irfluence and the credit
of the great State of South Carolina
to throw around the greater
and self confessed criminals the
protecting arm of the law in order
to persecute and convict the less
guilty and the innocent, as has been
publicly chu ged, then the law
should exhau6t its every resource to
bring him before the bar of justice
and make him suffer the extreme
penalties in order that justice may
be vindicated and the majesty of
law vindicated.
But to the contrary, if he '.a in1
1 - ! II J , .
noceni. wmco we are inclined 10 oelieve,
that his acts, while ques
tionable, were committed for what
he conceived to be for the best in*
terest of law, then we should invite
the closest scrutiny of his conduct
and the most rigid investigation of
his acts and not hide behind the good
graces of the Governor of Georgia
and from Atlanta make ugly faces
at the Governor of South Carolina,
his accuser, as he has been and is
now doing. If he should prove Mr
Blease guilty of all that is charged
against him, that would not relieve
the name of Mr Felder from the
ndium which now flurrnnnda ft nr?r
clear bis character from the suspicion
which now besmears it. Innocence
fl?es not from investigation.
On the other hand it invites it.
Let Mr Felder do this or hush up.
L. H. Booth, formerly of Horrj
county, but now of Greensboro, Fla.,
where be has resided for many years,
passed through town last Saturday,
leaving on Sunday morning for hie
home in Florida, after spending some
time visiting friends and relatives
at his old home.

What a Stranger Saw and
His Impressions.
LEADS IN SCHOOL PROGRESS
Prof Tate is Enthusiastic at th? Wonderful
Possibilities of Horry and
Writes Interestingly Concerning a
Few of Them.
My Dear Mr Brown: It is my custom
after visiting the schools of the
county to make for my own benefit
a brief record of the impressions
received on the visit and to send a
copy of these notes to the County
Superintendent of Education for
publication in the county papers, if
he so desires.
First allow me to express to you
and ihrough you to the people of
Horrv county my appreciation of
the courteous hospitality with which
I was met in every district which
we visited. In all my journeyings
I have never met a more hospitable
people. I hope at some future time
to have an opportunity of spending
a month in Horry and may then
have the privilege of accepting some
of the numerous invitations which
were extended to me last week.
I have already expressed my opinion
as to the resources and possibilities
of Horry county. Ia my
opinion this county is destinied
within the next ten years to show
the greatest progress and the greatest
increase in land values to be
found in South Ca-olina. The soil
is fertile and Is adapted to a large
variety of crops. Artesian water
may be bad almost for the asking,
and the best of all the county is increase
in land values to be found in
SouthCarolina. Tne soil is fertile and
is adapted to a large variety of crops
Artesian water may be had a most
for the asking, aud best of all the
county is inhabited by a sturdy, reliable
white population who own
their own farms and work thnn
with their own hands. The v>hite
population of the county, according
to the last census is 20 325 and
the negro population 6,670. With
the exception of Pickens county,
Horry contains the largest per centage
of white population in the State.
When compared with her neighbors
this fact is doubly significant. Horry
is yet a county of undeveloped possibilities.
These resources should be
systematically advertised in Soulh
Carolina. The large tracts of land
should be divided into sma'ler farms
and sold to home makers from other
sections of South Carolina and
the United States. The county
should, be especially attractive to
wbile tenants who are now cultivating
rented lands in the Pee Dee
section of the State. Horry offers
to these an opportunity of acquiring
lands while they may yet be obtained.
I was pleased to note the
diversification in crops which is to
be found in Horry county and trust
that the people will always avoid a
tendency to any single crop. TJhe
exclusive planting of cotton is the
chief cause of ignorance and illeteracy
in South Carolina. The harvesting
of the crop frequently keeps our
children out of school until ihe first
of January. Properly diversified
farming will put them in school by
November 1st and will at the sametime
bring prosperity to us all
A drive of sixty miles through the
county convinces me that some radical
improvements are needed in
your road laws. We traveled over
freshly worked roads in many sections.
This work evidently is being
done at this season to get ia the
nime before the end of the year
The second state of the road is
worse than the first Good churches,
good schools and good roads are
true prime necessities for progress
in any community. We cannot afford
to neglect either of them. The
relation between roads and school
attendance is very close.
The attention of the whole State
is directed toward Horry county because
of her educational progrrsduring
the past few years. In 1910
she received aid from the State
building fund for eight handsome
new school buildings. In 1911 eight
applications for buiiding aid have
been received and aid given to five
of them. The exhaustion of the
building appropriation has delayed
in three districts. The new buildings
which have been erected in the
county are well planned and are
Awriam^Ktto tr* fKrt nn in m nnitiau tuKinh
l/l U MUiU U VO VV V?IV IM U M I VIV/U " UIVU
have erected them. Horry county
now stands first in the State in the
number of districts levying a spe
cial tax. Fifty-four of the ninetyfive
districts have voted a tax and
the good work shows no sign of
stoppage. During tie p st twentyfour
elections have been carried and
several petitions are now pending.
This willingness to help herself has
enabled Horry county to draw nearly
14,000 from the State treasury
under the Term Extension Act. The
counties which have not yet voted a
. tix should arrange to do so at once.
Under the law a district voting s
tax not only has the proceeds of the
tax for maintaining the school, bul
also secures from the State Tressur
ry a like amount not to exceed $100
If the tax be voted at this time, it
1 will not be collected until next De
1 cember, but the term extension aic
[ may be secured from the Stat<
5 Treasury to lengthen the term thii
j year
Continued Next Week.
