With the many different crops from which the farmer may now obtain an income times are consider- ! ably better for him. * There are many who rush to law- j yers to get relief from the oppres-1 sion or stubbornness of some officer! their votes has helped to elect. The answer is generally reminded that the best relief is in the ballot box. * * * * When the woman gets the vote in South Carolina, things may be differ- j ent, but perhaps not, for many of1 them will vote just as the men tell them to do. * The methods of the modern politician are so debasing that a decent man hates to enter the race. The better class of men hardly ever want to stand for election to any office. * * * * There is no power doing more today for the common good in cities and towns than the civic leagues.You will find the ladies organized everywhere with the high aim of making their towns cleaner and more beautiful. . ?).- * * * + W1 * ; , ou pass tnrough the cities When Vbyif South Carolina and and towns oh delighted by the little have your eyeSHtations full of livin8 parks near the s. giye credjt ,K? green and flowers^it; ladies to whom no aouot it ?s due. ; *** Look carefully into the past record of each candidate seeking your sufrage, for in no other way will you be able to vote intelligently. If the canJ.'J.i.. i : A!

Listen for it when you enter any community but refuse to believe without further proof. * * * * According to the news items contained in the papers, the new rules of the Democratic party were misunderstod generally at lirst by the secretaries of the? clubs concerning the maner in which the rolls should be signed. The rolls were opened everywhere and the members allowed to sign their initials only. The new rules require thai the full name be wrilen on the roll. This has caused delay in many instances in making up the rolls. * * * About the best way we know to pass ofF the hot weather with as little fretting as possible, is to go to hard work, and become so interested that the weather is not noticed. The idle Buffer more from the heat than those who are employed, unless the former arc either at the mountains or seaside. So if you are among the "Stayat-Homcs" this summer, spend the time in useful labor and it will pass away more quickly. * * * * The man who does nothing, makes no effort at success in any chosen pursuit, is the one who generally gets the most praise from the other members of the commuity. Take the man who has accumulated a large fortune, and the man who has been less fortunate in life, perhaps spending his days in idleness while the other was at work, will say that ho cheated his money out of others. Should his success he along another line, that of great accomplishment, he will then be marked down as decitful, excentrk or big-headed. iU. | FRAUDULENT ADVERTISERS j NOT WANTED. Last January this paper was offered an advertising contract by one Carl F. Geyer, doing business, as shown by a glaring letter head in big j type, under the style of "Tire Factories Sales Co.," and stilting on the heading that the concern was doing business at Third and Main Streets, Dayton, Ohio. The offer of this contract carried with it a very attractive circular leter, in which the gentlemen stated that he should watch results carefully, and would place larger contracts with us later on in case our paper showed that it could pull business. Still his proposition had a suspicious quality to our mind, and uner investigating Mr. Ueyer only to find that he constituted "The Whole Thing," and had no big company behind him as he claimed to nave, we turned down the contract, not only because we wanted to protect our own interests, but because if his advertising were fraudulent, our readers would be hurt should they answer his j advertising and send him any money. Under this proposed contract that we i turned down, lie wanted to insert copy in The Herald, offering automobile tires at rediculously low prices# Just a little later we received through the United States Mail anoth qy and larger proposition under n i different name this time, but which when investigated proved to be this odmc gentleman, Mr. Carl F. Geyer, who wfts again reported to us to be the "Whole Cheese" as it were; and this time ho wanted to insert six different advertisements, of about six inches space each, for the following big sounding names: "Mercantile Publishing Company," "The Strong Thread Rubber Co.," "The Wear-Ever Hosiery Co.," "Universal Products Company," Howard Specialty Co.," "The Dayton Art Portrait Co.," and another was mentioned under the name of " Miami Publishing Co." Having found out what he was in regard to the automobile tires he wanted to sell, we turned him down on his hosiery and other propositions, separate ads. for which he wanted us to carry, and for a time we heard nothing from it. We noticed, however, that some other papers in this section took a bite at his tempting bait and at once went to running the copy. Recently we learned that Mr. Geyer was finally found . t by the postal i...thirties as shown from Hie following news item which was clipped from the Cincinnati Enquirer: Dayton, Ohio, June 15.?Facing the charge of having misused the United States mail, Carl F. Geyer, twentyseven years old, of 113 North avenue, Dayton View, was taken into custody this afternon at the plant of the | Standard Tire and Repair company 44G West Third street, by Postoffice! Inspector Swain of the local office and United States Deputy Marshal Elmer Marsh of Cincinnati. Geyer was taken at ouce to the office of United States Commissioner Frank W. Howell, where he gave bond. Other arrests are expected. In connection with the arrest of Geyer information was received from Cincinnati that Judge Thompson of the Dayton municipal court had appointed Attorney A L Hughes of this city receiver for several concerns with which Geyer had been identified, including the Mercantile Publishing company, the Strong Thread Rubber company, the Wear-ever Hosiery com pany, the Universal Products company, the Howard Specialty company, the Dayton Art Portrait company ami the Miami Publishing company. It is alleged tlY- '* > ved in an * fTtnaL oeyer was lnvolwhich v' ho-advertising scheme by mnW Tc??pective purchasers 01 auto .ode Tires were defrauded. The receivership was the outcome of a suit for $171.83 which the Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat Publishing company brought recently in the municipal court, the amount being claimed for advertising. Just as we have done in the past we shall endeavor to keep fraudulent advertising out of the columns of the Herald. When a concern undertakes i to advertise through the papers all : over the United States, it must have : almost unlimited capital at its disposal, that is, if they intend to pay for it; and as a general thing if the contracts are offered bona fide with the intention of paying for the publicity, I the article advertised and its price is honest and reasonable and the advertiser actuated by honest princij j)les in advertising his business. But it may at times be impossible to keep j out everything of this kind that would give trouble to our readers; however, if such appears in our columns, it 1 may as well be understood that we I spare no effort to find out beforehand whether the concern or individual was worthy of confidence. The following letter has been written to the American Prss Association I by the "Creator Dayton Association." "Dear Sirs?We have been informed | that the American Press in a recent | issue published an expose of the moth ods of the Mercantile Publicity company of this city. We have been tryj mg to secure a copy 0f this issue and ' vonder if you cannot send us one. I The Mercantile Publicity company has been the source of considerable anj noyance to us for some time, but we i believe this exposure has done some good, and we hope to have their methods given a thorough airing in court very shortly. Cases in Mayor's Court. The following cases were tried last Monday morning in the court of Mayor H. P. Little, with the result as follows: Thomas Lewis and Mit Green, charged with fighting were found guilty. Lewis was given 80 days or pay a fine of $20. Mit Green was given 80 days or pay a line of $50. j John Cox, Pete Johnson and Joe Adams, charged with disorderly conduct, fined $10, $2, and $5 respectfully. Alice Young, charged with disorderly conduct, was found guilty and , given 15 days or $10. In the afternoon Dr. J elf coat wa.' brought up for assault and battery on his wife. This case was turned over to W. II. Chestnut, Magistrate, METHODIST PICNIC AT WACHE-I SAW TOMORROW. The Steamer Burroughs Will Leave Here For that Point Early. Mr. H. W. Ambrose, acting superintendent of the Sunday School, during the illness of Dr. Norton, will have charge of the party. The Sunday School of the Conway Methodist Church will hold their annual picnic tomorrow (Friday) July 3rd, at the Wachesaw landing down the Waccamaw river. Promptly at 7 a. m. the steamer F. G. Burroughs will leave the Conway wharf for the picnic grounds. Ample provision will be made for the comfort and pleasure of the crowd. Tables are being provided for the dinner so that, all ran _ vugciucr. The magnificent live oaks at Wachesaw will supply plenty of delightful shade. Of course all the ladies will carry good things to eat. It will be a most enjoyable time for all. The members of the other Sunday Schools in Conway are cordially invited to attend with their Methodist friends. The following committees have charge of affairs: Finance Committee: W. B. King, J. 0. Cartretto, Miss Elsie McCoy, Miss Bessie Clark. Basket Committee: W. M. GoldMiiCS Clarence Johnson, Crosby Elliott. Good Order Committee: R. W, Lane J, E. Dawsey, A. B. McCoy. Entertainment Conu^'f^e; Thurmau Spares, Clarence Sessions, Howward Little, Whiteford Sessions, Doc Jones, Gilbert Johnson, Claude DusenI bury. Table Committee: Capt. A. L. Thompson, Ben Sessions, Mrs. B. T. Hyman, Mrs. L. H. Burroughs, Mrs. H. W. Ambrose, Mrs. E. L. Moore and Mrs. J. G. Woodward. Everybody is expecting a fine trip and a fine picnic. Efforts are being made to raise sufficient funds so that there will be no expense for the journey for individual picnicers. Certainly all the children will go free, and it is thought that enough will be raised so all grown folks can go free too. It is needless to say that a large crowd will go. I PLAYED GOOD GAME. Conway Winning on a Score of Three to Two in Game With Myrtle Beach In a game well played Conway wor from Myrtle Beach last Friday at Conway in one hour and twenty-five minutes. The game was sensational from start to finish, the fielding being especially good for amateurs. Jordon on third for Conway and Glaze on first for Myrtle Beach v/ore the stars in this particular. While Sessions and O. Watson for Conway and Smith and Hamilton for Myrtle Beach led with the stick. Otherwise the hitting was light, as it was mostly a pitchers battle between Bray and Hamilton, who were both in great form, each allowing but six hits, all well scattered except in Conway's half of the second inning, when they bunched three hits with an error that made two scores. Hamilton slightly shaded Bray for the strikeout record. Getting 12 to Bray's ten. But this was more because some of Conway's kid batters were afraid of Hamilton's terrific speed than anything else. HORRYITE IS MARRIED. On Tuesday of Last Week in Roanoke, Va., Miss Hat tie Gordon Brown to Mr. John Clarence Norton. Invitations were, recei^ W ** mansi f ^ ri?jids in Conway to the wedding of Miss Hattie Gordon Brown to Mr. John Clarence Norton, which took place at the residence of the bride at number 549 fifteenth Avenue, in Roanoke,, Va., at 9 o'clock in the evening June 23rd. John Clarence Norton is a son of Dr. E. Norton, and a brother of Dr. J. A. Norton, J. O. Norton, Esq., and Miss Mabel Norton. He is a civil and electrical engineer of marked ability, having graduated at one of the leading colleges in this State. Mr. and Mrs. Norton were expected to arrive here the latter part of last week. Trustees and Patrons. To Trustees and Patrons who are planning to build a now scnool building. On my return from Rock Hill, I stopped over in Columbia and talked with the State Supt. about the building fund of $20,000 which was appropriated at the last session of the Legislature. He tells me that he has paid out over $12,000 of this amount, possibly in four or live weeks he will have paid out the remainder $8,000. If the money was divided equally among the counties of tne State, I have already gotten more than Horry's share but I want us to get several hundred dollars more. The law requires the trustees and patrons to raise an amount equal to half the cost of the proposed building and record a fee simple title for the land on which to build it. As the money is getting short, permit me to suggest to trustees who are planning to build a new school building that you not wait to get a subscription from the people or the material on the ground, but get your title, go to the bank and borrow the I money and get your State aid. You will have to pay $5 or $10 interest but it is better to pay that and . secure the money now than to wait and miss getting several hundred dollars. I hope that you can arrange to | come to Conway next Friday or Saturday or Monday and that we can lile | your application at once. I Secure your money now, build in , this Summer or Fall at your leisure. II L 31 STATE CAMPAIGN PARTY CAME TO CONWAY. (Continued from first page.) Smith is an orator of rare ability and his speech was the first to draw anything like general applause. He was presented with flowers. L. J. Browning complimented Horry county on being the only costal county in the State having a majority of whites. He stressed his rural credits system and favored a general tax reform. Prof. John G. Clinkscales said that he was making the same plea now for the boys and girjs that he had made when he campaigned Horry for educational purposes. Prof. Clinkscales was unwell and was overcome by the intense heat and cut his speech sehort. Next came John T. Duncan, who said that he was leading the bunch I of candidates for Governor. Then he branched off on his favorite speech the "system," finally declaring that he elected Cole Blease governor two years ago. Mr. Irby spoke of his services in the legislature assuring the farmers { that he was their friend and would -jve his? best efforts to the 9fti<;e. ' Yticharu I. Manning heartily thanked the voters for their support in the past. He assured the people that if " elected he would uphold the verdicts of juries and the judgment of the courts?but in mercy?that while he was governor n0 safe cracker need . apply to him for a pardon. He pledg- ' cd his efforts to better the school condition of the State. Jno G. Richards declared that the 1 will of the people when expressed would be supreme. That he believed y in trusting them with their own affairs. He therefore favoied local on- ' lion and was therefore opposed to a I ompulsory education law, leaving it to the people to say what they wantHi. He favors honest elections, the 2 cent flat rate and will advocate a iberal support for our ex-Confederite soldiers. Relieves in a well organized militia and thinks the principle of working the convicts upon the highways of the county in which they j were convicted is a wise one. He ] stands for a strict enforcement of the j law with fairness to all bur people. "I ^ shall stand for an economical administration of our State government," said Mr. Richards. "A reckless expenditure of the public funds is a :rime and I shall oppose all extravagant appropriations for whatever purpose they may be made." C. C. Sims was the last speaker. He said he was opposed to compulsory ] education. Acknowledged his devotion to Governor Blease. i The other two aspirants for governor, R. a. Cooper and Prof. Mullally, were absent.
