[|| JOMORIPTJON OHB DOLLAR PER YEAR H. H? WOODWAIID. Editor THURSDAY. JANUARY 18. 1912, Keep an eye on Conway. Mayor Little is having the ditch on the ea9t side of Fourth avenue clear ed of the filth and rubbish which has accumulated there for years. The Wilson-Harvev break is a bad break for Mr Wilson, In the characteristic classic language of Senator Tillman, "Phere'sa Devilof a mess." In so far as the Presidential nomination is concerned, the leader of the New Jersey Democracy says that the nameof Woodrow Wilson is Mud. Onward and upward should be the trojan cry of the people of Horry during the year 1912, and they should- endeavor to see that all their undertakings are crowned with success. Conway is bound to go ahead with a hop, skip and a jump. Thoso who do not wish to get crushed under the < wheels of progress had better not stand in the way. The hand writing is on the wall. As far as the Southern Democracy is concerned the nominee of the party, though he were fresh from the : burnings, would be an immaculate saint. The name of Democracy, in the eyes of the South, covers a multitude of sins. Attorney General Lyon is of the opinion that the life trustees of Clemson College are not officers of the ; State in that the State has agreed to the existence of the seven trustees provided for in the will of the late Thomas G Clemson and can in no manner exercise authority over them, Government control of public util- 1 ties of inter state interost and Municipal ownership when local inter1 ~ ~ ~ 4X 4 ? ,3 11 V- _ iL caia ait; uiuuo ciuuuteu, win UtJ tilt; slogan cry of political campaigns in < the near future. The signs of the times, at least, all point in that di- 1 rection. 1 i I The United States Supreme Court j has just handed down a decision, of | far reaching importance. In a case < coming up from Indiana, the de- t cision of the court is that ''railroads ( "must carry beer when offered for i "transportation into 'dry counties' { "of another State", in "that no { "State can forbid any common car- \ "rier to transport such articles from \ "a consignor in one State to a con- ? "signee another." THE STATUTE UPHELD. By an unanimous decision the United States Supreme Court has upheld the validity of the "employess Liability" act after nearly a year's consideration, and marks an epoch in labor legislation. The old common law, wedging in the rights of the employees, is displaced in scleral particulars by the statute as appVoved. Notably among these is the abolition of the "fellow servant doctrine" and the substitution of a law miking em ployers liable for the negligence of an employee resulting in injury to ^ an Inter-State employee. ( Furthermore, jfc frees the employ- 1 ecs from "contributory negligence" ( in many instances, and limits the ef- ^ feots of the doctrine in others, and likewise in many cases liberates the 1 employee from assuming the risk when he enters the employment knowing tne danger of his employment. The law was attacked seemingly from every point of view. Justice Van D&vknter, in annouac- ] ing the opinioitof the Court consid- , ercd these objections and rejected ! eacn. Pursuing this line, the Justice said 1 that "now that Congress has acted, the law of the States, in so far as < they cover the same Hold, are super- S ceded, for necessarily that which is : not supremo must yield to that frhieh is," j J I i WlifT WE SEE AND HEAR. Never before in the history of Agriculture has the outlook been so bright for a good crop year as it now is. An abundance of rainfall during the late fall and early winter which has gone into nature's great resovior beneath the crust of the earth for the necessities of the husbandman during the hot dry days of summer if tbe laws of nature are intelligently observed; the rigors of the past season were but blessings in disguise to the tillers of the soil if they would but appreciate the "gifte the gods!gie,"and utilize them to their own good; the recent snow storm, which is said to Jbe worth its weight in commercial fertilizer to the farmer. All of these weather conditions are considered by agricutural experts as of incalulable benefit to agriculture and her handmaids. More attention has been given to fruit the past season than heretofore. Duringjthe past year thousands of dollars have been spent for trees, vines and bushes Large or chards of peaches, apples, plums and the like have been started, large groves of pecans have supplanted scrubby black jacks and new vineyards are growing on the hillsides. While it is probable that there will be a reduction of the cotton acreage to an appreciable extenr., yet it is likely that the production will be largely in excess of last season on account of better cultivation and a more general use of improved agricultural implements. The prospects for a verv lar^o - - %* o corn crop is indeed bright at the present time. The Boys' Corn Club has undoubtedly stimulated the cultivation of this important grain crop and a great deal of interest all over the county is being manifested by all classes of farmers and all seem more determined than ever to have their corn cribs and smokehouse in their own backyard and thereby be in a position to live more at home and board at the same place. It really seems that the days of the famous Horry county raised razor back hog are numbered. They are are slowly but surely giving way to make room for improved breeds that will pay the farmer in bacon and lard, for the cost, time and attention given them. We are informed, and both our observation and experience leads us to believe the statement to be true, that it costs no more to raise and fatten an improved breed than it takes to raise aud fatten a razor back aud we all know that the return in meat is far greater. Tobaoco warehousemen, several of whom have been over the county, are elated over the outlook. T-ey all inform us that the conditions are all favorable for an increase acreage in tobacco and this will be a record breaking year in the yield of the weed. They also agree that by reason of the failure cf the grade iniignenous only toi this section for the past several years, the supply is ibout exhausted and the demand for ibis particular grade is greatly on ibo increase, cousequentiy prices are 30und to soar skyward the coming jeason. There is great activity among the iruckers and berry growers and til are bending all their energies to jet out of these industries every jent there is in these industries f or ,hem. Already bu ?ers are on the /round looking over this Geld of huurn endeavor, studying conditions ind calculating probabilities. Those with whom we have talked express hemselves as being highly delight>d with the situation and it goes vithout saying that this season, as ihey have in the past, Conway Xlonlikes will lead the world. 4,So mote t be." Cotton has been a clog i i the wheels of progress of the people >f the South as did tobacco, rice ind indigo in the days before. The )ne important lessons that we should earu is, My Brother, in pitching pour crop don't forget to pay especial attention to the all important Bog and Hominy crop without which you cannot move.
