AUGUST 20th 1914 The weather this year has been as changeable as the fashions. j-" 1' * * * * The nature of mankind is to point the finger of accusation at the other fc'low. * * * One half of the world has to work hard to support the rest of humanity who will not do anything. * * * Just as we said before, when it is dry we want it wet, and when it happens to get wet, then we want it dry. ? * w Build your character as you would your barn or dwelling, so that it will stand against the storms and floods. * * * * A man died last week in a far off land from obscure causes. It was finally determined that a woman had talked him to death. * ? * When very anxious to take care of the hoarded stores, go hide it in the ground. You will at least find the hole where you placed it. * * * "i cu will find many in this world who spend every day of their lives on the border line between honesty and the postive violation of the law. * * * * The European nations were not afflicted with hook worms else it would have taken longer to get up the con flict. * * * The people are sawing wood and saying nothing in politics this time. The primary will tell the talc, and until then, nothing is known. ? * * * Now is the time to be careful about the water supply, and also careful to see that the living rooms and especially the dining room is screened from house flies, and the bed room from mosquitoes. * * * * If you have power it is your duty to be careful how you exercise it. No matter how small the power this advice will do good if you take it in time. * * * With hook worm staring the people in the face on one hand and pellagra slipping up from the other way, there is nothing for the layman to do but to stand and face the music unless Appendicitis cuts him down in the meantime. f * * * Ignorance of the law will excuse no man, yet there is a great difference in violating the law wilfully and knowingly and comitting a transgression in ignorance of the fact that the met is prohibited by the statute law.s. * Why should so many people grieve with the Hon. Woodrow Wilson when his wife passed from life unto death, and the grief of a neighbor nearby only receives passing notice if any notice at all ? The answer is for you, and it is not hard to And. t I u St.- ? vj&Sfe 4' & Most diseases are known now to s {.lie old clays when you ccukl eat and o drink any where at any time without r come from germs. How we long for t that eternal fear that some little old v germ or other would go down your r throat. a * * * >< ^ "When the great resources of the ^ United States are considered it would appear to be foolish to think that any ^ mere European war could nll'ect our ^ people very seriously. Yet there are ^ many recently, and even now, in ser- , ions panic over the matter. The United States with her broad expanse over caring climates produces within ^ hprsol f Jilmnat nvrvvfliino1 dir? er need, ami at least she can produce y within her own bounds sufficient of the necessities of life. It is true that the prices of these may be high as c they have been for some time in the (_ past making the cost of living a sor- j ous question of the day. Still there ^ is no ground for worry and the man who does it on account of this war in the Old World, is certainly foolish to ' do it. * * * * ij Z ATI ON. c\ "Liquid chlorin" is the name under '* which liquified chlorin gas appears in a commerce. During the last seven or c eight years the manufacture of liquid 11 chlorin lias become well established a in this country, and the product is 1 said to be displacing bleaching-pow- ^ der in a number of industries. It is ^ also used in chemical manufacturing " industries such as dctinning. The gas e is generated by electrolysis of brine M and is then dried, compressed and ^ cooled until it liquifies. It is market- c ed in steel cylinders having a capac- n ity of 100 to 110 pounds weight. The results obtained by the calcium hy- ^ pochlorite process in emergency wat- S1 er sterilization have led to experiment s< with liquid chlorin for the same pur- ^ pose. Excellent results as to bacter- a ial efficiency have been obtained at ^ Philadelphia and Wilmington, Del. ^ Experimental observations by Jack- bi son at Cleveland and Brooklyn arc al-' 11 so favorable. The advantage claimed for the process are economy in Y cost of installation and operation, ^ simplicity in regulation of the quantity of chlorin applied, and the absence of the unpleasant odors and ^ tasts sometimes resulting from the ^ bleaching-powder treatment. Some experimenters are very enthusiastic V( over the virtues of this new mode of water sterilization, but the Journal of the American Medical Association a' thinks that a wider experience with the practical application of this pro- a' cedure seems desirable before its gen- S1 oral adoption can be confidently urged. lc * 11 HORRY PEOPLE ARE GOOD. o The people of Horry County are 0 ideal neighbors. No stranger ever n came or went among a better and more hospitable. This has been prov- \ I ed many and many a time. There was 11 many and many a time. There was 1 something recently which called this ^ fact to mind. In a recent issue of c this paper there appeared a news ar- \ tide concerning the children of Frank 1 Nobles. They were left without fath- 0 r er or mother. While their grandfather was endeavoring to make a bond ( for the performance of his duties as ( their guardian, there were some who thought it necessary to make an effort to get these children placed in good families where they might be trained in habits of industry and sent to school as other country children arc now generally sent. Hut the word had not more than got out well, at least the newspapers had not been mailed more than a day, before dozens of applications began to pour in every day from good families offer- ^ ing to take and care for one or more * of the children. An offer of this kind c from so many different people shows x what the people are as a claes. Just * as they would be willing to help in taking care of the fatherless and motherless children like these, they ^ always stand ready and more than ^ willing to help each other out in ev- ^ every case of disaster or misfortune. c Let a tobacco planter's barn burn v burn down, and at once every planter C in his immediate section is ready to b gather with the others, and build him ? another so that his work is interrupted at the most for only a day or two. ^ It is the same when the dwelling is de tl troyed, or the crop is lost by moans f dry weather. And when richness enders one of our farmers powcrles* o tend tho crop he has planted, it h rondcrful to Irxw that his neighbor. ] .re invariably ready to come togethe * livi witii their own hands plow oui * he corn and weed the grass from ' he cctton and potatoes. You and I, brother, should be proud o live in such a community. You will iot find the Doonlo so kind n?wl riendly in many other parts of the ountry. There are many men and vomcn scattered over the world who him this section of Carolina as their >irth place. Just ask them to name he best people in the world and you rill get the answer that it is the peode of Horry County. Kind, eonsidratc, and also long suffering with thers of their kind, there is no bet- ' or place for any man or woman to ; . 1 ive than among the people ol < his county. ] * * * V HE RECORD WAS STUNG. [ All newspapers these days are * ound to look out for the fraudulent dvertiser. As a general rule a con- T crn who is not responsible and un- < ble to make good for its advertising ' ontracts, will not do to trust in the 5 latter of the quality of the article 1 dvertised. Some time since we had J ho offer of a contract which was very ood on its face from a concern in r lot Springs, Kansas, claiming to ave a medicine which was the very ( ssence of the curative powers of the s rater at Hot Springs, and claiming ( c i have the ability by means of this c xtract to carry the cirtues of the i lineral springs to all parts of the c rorld,?and the expense of going to c ic hot springs, you see, would be * aved. We were offered this contract li sveral months ago. We wrote to the ank at Hot Springs for information c s to the character and standing of o le man whose name appeared on the 0 usiness letters of the concern. The ? ank knew nothing about him. Other 1 formation we obtained seemed to <bow that he was a second rate law- t er who had failed at the bar, and as a re could make nothing out of all this, ^ re turned down the contract at once. \ f Now we see in the columns of the ^ dngstree Record the following plaint [ ae editor having trusted this fakir f :>r several insertions of his fake ad- a ertising. But he got wise before >ng and quit running the copy. Fol- ^ wing is what the Record has to say bout it: As a rule we are very cautious C Dout accepting advertising propotions from parties with whom we ^ ave had no previous dealings, un- B iss they have a commercial rating. I [owever, along with not a few of aj ur unsopnisucateci contemporaries I vcr the State, we, in an ungarded loment, "listened to the song of lie siren" and accepted an advertising contract from concern stylng its self "The Hot Springs Mediine Co., Hot Springs, Arkansas." mmediately after we began on the ontract, we became suspicious that he concern was at least questionable n its methods; therefore to protect 1 iiirselves and our patrons as well, we nade an investigation as to the finanial status of The Hot Springs Mediine Co. This is the reply we got: "Replying to yours of July 11 regarding the financial responsibility of the Hot Springs Medicine Co., Hot Springs, Ark., would say that this firm is an old offender * * We would advise you to discontinue the advertising at once and charge the account to profit and loss, because we know it would be useless to try to collect the bill." The letter quoted is from a wellmown advertising agency of unquesionable integrity and we shall, of ourse, adopt its suggestion, and vould advise all other newspapers hat "bit" to do likewise. When Congressman Ragsdale came o our Fair last year and brought the Jreat War Vessels and Congressman ^cver to help make the Fair a sucess, he was the hero of the hour, but /hen he refused to speak in the Fair Grounds and let the farmer pay 25c o hear him there was trouble in the amp. Now Conway is fighting our Congressman to a finish. It is town gainst the county. Boys, lets show hem as usual that Conway don't rule he ccunty. ?Advertisement.

DEATH OF MRS SARAH C OLIVER Well Known Lady Passes Away at Conway in Her Sixty-Eight Year. Mrs. Sarah C. Oliver, wife of Robt L. Oliver, died suddenly at her residence here on August 14th, and she had been in failing health for some time. She is survived by her husband and the following children: Mrs. Ida Elliott, Mrs. 1). G. Hinson, Misses Kathleen and Gussie Grier, and one son, Mr. A. B. Elliott. The remains were interred at the Lakeside cemetery. An anonymous donor recently forwarded one shilling to the Church Mis nonary Society, and wrote as follows: 'Please find enclosed P. O. for one shilling. This was offered as a tip to i G. W. R. Guard who refused it, and isked that instead it should be sent ;o your society. Capt. Willis for Adjutant General. To the Voters of Horry County: Heretofore the office of Adjutant General had been looked upon as a dde issue of minor importance, reluiring mediocre ability for its succ-ssful administration, but recent events relative to the South Carolina dilitia have another meaning, and ause the friends of the "Citizen-Sollier" to ask wherein they can help dm. The Adjutant General's office handes thousands of dollars now in mony and equipment, where it but reently handled hundreds (all out of ur taxes) hence the great necessity >f selecting a man of large business xperience as well as military trailing to manage the affairs of the office. I cheerfully reccommend Capt. M. 3. Willis, candidate for Adjutant ant General, to the voters of Horry ind other counties as one whom I beieve entirely competent to adminiser successfully the affairs of the ofice he seeks. If elected I feel sure te will give his best efforts to buildng up the militia; expending the unds judiciously, without partiality nd in a business like manner. Ask the members of your home com any and vote as they wish you to. Respectfully, Chas. J. Epps, Capt. and Commissary 3rd S. C. In lonway, S. C., August 17th, 1914.
