The Herald is in receipt of a cotton blossom from Mr J C Dubois, who is one of the best farmers living in the Myrtle Beach section. His blossom was pioked on the 19th instant. About the same day that the blossom was received from Myrtle Beach another was sent in from the farm of Mr D J Martin, near Jordanville S. C. Mr Martin has a tine crop ol cotton and this blossom was open on June 20th. Mr O A Causey is a farmer on lands in Bucks township, which are famed for producing good cotton crops. He did not mean to be outdone this year by the Jordanville man, so he gathered a blossom on June 20th and sent in to the Herald. The lands around Pine Island are said to produce tine cotton crops, almost every year without exception. Among the successful cotton growers of that section is Mr Geo W King, who proves to be fully up to tbe Jordanville man, and has sent us in a blossom, which was open on June 20th. V 1J tisiiamy, one or me most industrious farmers of Longs postoffice section in this county, has sent in two blooms which were open on the 19th of this month. Uis crop is said to be fine this year. F R Sessions is making a success this year on the Cow Pen Swamp farm of of the Burroughs <fc Collins Company, near Vaught, S C. He has sent in two cotton blossom* picked from a forty acre farm on the 19th. W R Cook, of Dog Bluff, is a good farmer and has a fine cotton crop. He picked blossoms on the 20th. One of the successful cotton plantters of Conway township is Mr W R Roberts. He has a fine crop this year, and the office received a bloom from his farm, which was plucked on the 21st inst. John Q Allen, of the Blanche section of this county, has a field of eight acres of as fine cotton for the season of the year as we think can hn fnnnH Anvwhnrfl Wo have a ? -'?J ? olossom from his field picked on the 19th of June. Mr E J Bullard brought a red oolton bloom in today, it came from hi* field in Green Sea township near here. Mr W E Jolly, from his place in Floyds township near Ml Olive, btought one gathered Tuesday. These are the first the writer has seen. J P Derham. W C Gore, of Little River, had an open eolton blossom on June 20lh. He is not behind the others in good farming. Dr. Clinkscales Speaks. Prof. J G. Clinkscale9, LL. D , of Wottord College, Spartanburg, S. C., spoke to a large congregation at the Methodist Church last Sunday morning. He addressed himself to his hearers in plain straightforward English, and now and then there would be an outburst of hir Irish wit. The congregation was intensely interested from the beginning. He said in part: I shall noi attempt to be theoretical but rather very practical. There is a wide difference between character and reputation. You ??w no oil finrl rtnf tho i*anntAtlnn nf ViOU UWOIIJ vuv vmv/ av|/m*w??v wa man. but not so with his charac ter. 1 would not go to jour pas .or 1 to find, out the character of some 1 men in town. I would go to one of the business men and after winning his confidence find out. The servants of the household know something of the character of the lady who reign there. Stalker says there , are four men in every man: (1) The man as he appears to the world. (2) The man that his intimate friends know (3) The man he knows ; himself to be. (4) Tne man as Qod knows him. The worst enemies of the Church are within. The inconsistent lives of professing Christians are having an awful influence upon the children. A man who is indifferent to public opinion is a dangerous man. Of course public opinion should not swerve a mau from the right, but public's opinion of him has great value. Old debts are ruining the spiritual life of many men. Dodging rinhtifi ht nlartincr all fthnir nron '"ft r? r? i r erty in their wives' names reveals the shameful dishonesty of many mea. The Christian man who voces lot a wicked man to hold office will meet that vote again iome day." Prof. Clinksales spoke in the afternoon at Mnion Church usarTtddville. Monday he was at Pisgah Methodist Church and Gallvants. Tuesday at Poplar and Homewood. Last night he spoke at Soeastee. To-night he speaks at Willow Springs. He speaks at Loris on Sunday. He is being received everywhere by large and enthusiastic congregations. \ Many a Conway family has gone to ; occupy their Sea Side oottage at Myrtle Beach. Hp IT s?~J> I CONWAY, S. C., T] [IN 111JE 11 A Correspondent's Visit to His Boyhood Home TIME HAS MADE CHANGES After An Absence of Twenty-Two Years, Mr. Jere Smith Visits the I Scenes of His Boyhood Days, And Found That the Gnawing Hand of Time Had Obliterated Old and Famil iar Land Marks. Editor Herald:?For the benefit of the sixteen brothers and sisters who are scattered over the various i States and all of whom I presume are subscribers to the Herald, permit me to write a description of my visit to the old home of our childhood, after an absence of twenty-two years. No one who holds sacred thnoo rln.va n.nrl his as VUG UJCiliV/t J yja uuv/av mwj m ? sociations in childhood can form an idea of his impressions on such an occasion. The picture of the old home of 20 years ago as it was when I left it, was indelibly stamped on my mind. I arrived there in the afternoou of June 19, Tue day was perfect, the glow of the setting sun lit op the western sky, I visited the old homestead oak, where in groups we used to gather and discuss our j"?ys and sorrows, where we planned our future careers* Tha 8pot where many sacred memories still lingers but the giant old relic lies prostrate, it was sad, indeed, to see that it bad fallen in some mighty storm. From here we turned our steps to the spot where the old house stood, and imagine our feelings of disappointment when not a vestige of it remained by which we could identify it as home Not even a plank from the old kitchen floor, not a flower, not a rose busn, not a tree or shrub. We tried to locate the spot where the old structure stood, but tno distances from place to place have changed, the forest trees in the woodshave outgrown our reco lection and destroyed the picture in our memory of the pace. Wo visited all of the remaining old apple trees We went went into the old barn which is the only remaining building. On its door we found a lock till Kamrintr t.n the chain. Twen ovi*i. ? rt ?r. ? ty-two year# ago the wiiter locked it thee and lost the key. We see a stranger moving about the farm whom we feel are treading ou sacred ground while he no doubt regard us as intruders and with an eye of suspicion as to our mission there. We visited every tecsion of the old farm and found some places places wnere we ploughed, grown up in big pines. We returned to the old oak and climbing upon its greatide&d trunk to take a last view of these once familiar scenes as the birds seemed to hush their song, and as we listen for the happy song of childhood days we hear only the low moan of the wind ir. the pines as a funeral anthem. The glow of the sun is fading and thi shadows of evening approaching many?many are the the recollec tions that crowd into our mind* standing here on the fallen trunk o' this mighty oak, with beared hear, in the stillness and solemnity 01 the twilight, we bid farewell to the dear old place. Jeremiah B. Smith. Cotton Bloom from Paradise Island. Charleston, S C,, June 19, 1912. Editor Horry Herald, Dear Sir: I will not try to send you a watermelon, but I am sending you a cotton bloom from my crop of 40 acres of upland long cotton on Paradise Island, It opened the 18th inst. This land is very fertile and produces well. I have a very good crop and have it in a fairly good condition. I have just harvested a good crop of oats and potatoes. Mr. Blank returned to Charleston last week from a trip to Baltimore where he went to carry his wife tc the hospital. Mrs. Blank is expected to remain in the hospital for at least three months. We are enjoying a breeze here almost equal to that on Murrels In let or Myrtle JJeach, and hope to enjoy some good fishing soon. Wo might say. we only have one obj ection to Paradise Island, viz: Tnat it is not in touch with any church or school. *Mr. Editor, fs "Silas" dead? We never see JJanything from him in the columns of the Herald. We like to hear from the home people through the Herald. Respectfully, R. A. Watts.

Professor Allen taught here last year, and we are glad to haye him oack with us again this year. Miss Ella Anderson of Adrian, the assistant, comes highly recommended and we feel that it means much for the sehcol and community to have them in our midst. The patrons one and all are urg- , ed to come together and lets make this, one of the most successful terms in the history of the school. J. C. DuBois, S, S Owens. Trusteea. First Tobacco. Mullins, June 21.?Mullins received is first new crop tobacco today. There was considerable rivalry between the farmers as to who would get in the first load. The Barnhill Brothers of Horry were the lucky ones. They came to market under whip and spur and there was not three minutes' difference in the time of arrival of the three. Wm Barnhill was the first to get under the wire at the Planters' warehouse, W H Barnhill carried his to Dixon's warehouse, Caudy Barnhill went to Farmers' warehouse. The weed was a fair sample of the beautiful oright sand lug type for which Mullins became famous. The crop will not be as large this year as some had expected. Recent woather conditions have been against it, a conservative estimate being at least 15 par cent reduction. Five warehouses will be operated in Mullius this season. The market will open about the middle of July. Ends Hunt for Rich Girl. Often the hunt for a rich wife ends when the man meets a woman that uses Electric Bitters. Her strong nerves toll in a bright brain and even temper. Her peach-bloom complexion and ruby lips result from her pure blood; her bright eyes from restful sleep; her elastic step from tlrm, free muscles, all telling of the health and strength Electric Bitters give a woman, and the free <iom from indigestion, backache, headache, fainting and dizzy spells they promote. Everywhere the.y we woman's favorite remedy. If veaU or ailiug try them. 50c at Norton Drug Co.
