Cotton Blooms.
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

year, and the office received a bloom
from his farm, which was plucked

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

These are the first the writer has
seen.

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.

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.

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.

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
