What has become of the Friedman Cure? ? * Some men carry their honesty on their faces only. * * * For the want of a market the cotton crop was lost. * * * No community will ever be without V its gossip and mischief makers. * * * * The trouble with some men is not lack of brains but lack of sense. * * * * t , Too much prosperity is bad for a nation as well as for some individuals * ? ? ? In the making of great results, nothing counts like steady and persistent efforts. * * * * Some men cart-y a lot of brain above a very foolish looking face. It is well to remember this. * * * * Wisdom is 'a great thing and we are commanded to get it. But the way to get it is not made very plain. * * * * The early bird will get the worm provided the bird himself is not gobbled up by the industrious huntsman. * * You can stall many a graduate with a nordinary problem in arithmetic. * * Some men grumble at everything. Others grumble at nothing. Which is , the worst? * * * * \ Some men are highly educated although they cannot read a word of Latin or Greek. ? While all Europe is flying at each other's throats is the time for this covriry to go* ih;? i. * * * More hog and hominy seems to be the best thing for the farmers next year. * ? * To do all you can for your neighbor only to find out that he does not appreciate it is like eating food without salt. * * * * We believe that the United States has not yet reached the zenith of her glory as the greatest nation on the face of the earth. * * There are plenty of men,, and women too for that matter, who have V perfect stacks of brains, and yet have no atom of common sense. * * * * The man who first tried to make the world believe that he could navigate the air was marked down as a crazy fool. * The greatest men the world ever saw were willing to crucify thcmscl' ves on the cross of wholehearted service to others. Don't get discouraged and down in] the mouth because your place in the; world is lowly. Fill your own little niche with all of the honor you can. * ? ? Be careful what you say, for others will udd words that never left your lips and give you a meaning entirely different from the way you intended. * * * * Money docs not grow on trees in this part of the world, especially while the European war is in progress. * ? * * Among all the pages and pages of war news with the horrors of war detailed in every line, how refreshing to turn to a page and find some of the antics of Mutt and Jeff. * * * Would you believe it? From appearances there arc many who would give a dollar for a drink of soda water if it could not be obtained in any other way. * * * * One of the problems of fashions for women has been how to make walking easy and at the same time hobble the skirt a little more. The slit skirt was one solution. What next? * * # ? The great wars in Europe are the bloodiest in history. Thinking of them brings horror. Still there is a purpose behind them which in some way will finally work out for good. * * * * The wars under which the Old World now labors only proves the fact that nations ever since the world began have risen and flourished, only to fall into decay in one way or anoth * * * * When you arc inclined to think of the success of the county fair, and of the pleasure that ycu derived from it, give some thought to the patient and untiring efforts of the men and women who made it what it was. * * * This is not only an age of great progress in science and the higher arts. It is also marked by a great increase in fakes, all the way from Pellagra cures and hog cholera serums, to new forms of breakfast food. ? * * * Some of the most successful men this country or any other ever saw were men who had very little training in school, yet they managed to educate themselves in some way. At least they got there just the same. * * * * The physical culture fad is one thing that has been overdone in some instances. No athlete ever lives to be very old. It proves that the best way to do is to cultivate and exercise those faculties and muscles that you intend to use. Let the others rest. ? * The danger of eliminating the cotton crop in this country next year has been voiced by more than one writer. It may encourage the growing of cotton in places where it was never before grown and when this country plants the cotton fields again, she may find a competitor she never had before. * * * The man who has taken down a dozen college diplomas need not feel proud over this unless he has the ability to put his knowledge into service for mankind. He should remember that he is likely to be outstripped by a man who cannot even spell and write his own name. * * * Often you hear a man say that thus and thus is too small a thing to deserve attention. It may be about money or it may be about something else. He is hardly ever correct in tliic liontnion 4Virn its nr? lorrrn fViinor in VI?*W| lL/V/Vl*MilVy V A U I? V V4,,,lb * I the world that is not composed of' small atoms too small to sec with the naked eye. * # * The creation of great corporations with almost boundless capital and endless resources, and even the existence of men with more millions than they can possibly spend, have their part to play in the history of this world and are as much a part of the great purpose and plans which founded the universe, as the smallest and humblest man that now walks the earth. They why curse them and say that they are out of place, and that they are a result of fraud and corruption. It is just as mean to take a cent from another as it is for a great corporation to rob another great company or some rich man of a mil-, lion dollars. Some people in this j world can manage to see the big i things that come within the range of their vision. But they always forget the atoms of which every thing in this world is made up.

Lee of the Adrian section were in Conway anil brought with them to this office a curiosity in the shape of a cotton boll from the farm of Mr. Lee. And it was not exhibited at the Fair, either. This boll was of peculiar formation, having spaces for fourteen complete locks of cotton. The fourteen locks had been picked out but the spaces where they stoop in the pod were plain enough. Mr. and Mrs. Lee also raised this year a variety of peanuts which would be hard to beat in this country or in circumference, but are very long in the pods, and the beauty of it is that each and every guber exhibited by Mr. Lee had four kernels inside, fully and completely developed. Methodist Workers' Council. The officers and teachers of the Con way Methodist Sunday School have been formed into a Workers' Council to meet every third Sunday afternoon in each month. Superintendent A. E. Goldfinch presides. Sixteen were present last Sunday afternoon, and great interest was manifested. The purpose of this monthly meeting is to talk over the problems of Sunday School work and to plan together the work of the Sunday School. Several important steps were determined on at this last meeting. Mr. W. C. Pitts was elected secretary and Mr. W. B. King treasurer of the Sunday School. Mrs. J. P. Johnson and Mrs . S. O. Green were chosen assistants in the Home Department. It is the purpose of the Methodists to make theirs the most rfttrirmt SimHnu nrtociKU w v fs/Msixav* j K/VKWVI The organization is being steadily perfected. One of the most interesting exhibits at the county fair was that of the Conway Light & Power Co. It consisted mainly of a washing machine run by electric motor, two electric cookers or toasters and a pumping outfit. NO GREAT CHANGE IN WESTERN WAR SO SAID AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ISSUED FROM GERMAN HEADQUARTERS OCTOBER 17. An official announcement issued from the German headquarters Oct. 17th, says that in the French theatre of war there have been no important events, according to a Berlin dispatch to the Reuters Telegram company received by way of Amsterdam. "In the province of Suwidki," the statement adds, "the Russians yesterday were inactive. A number of prisoners were captured near Schirwindt tvuvi oume guns were laivcn. liic l>attles near and south of Warsaw continue." To the Methodists of Horry Dear Brethren:? Next Sunday, October 25th, has been set apart by the Laymen's Missionary Movement in our Conference for the Annual Missionary Rally Day. The purpose of this occasion is first of all to raise in full the amount cx pectcd from each of our churches for the cruse of' missions this year. Where the apportionment has already been raised in full an effort should bo made to raise a surplus. Be sure to come prepared to make a special contribution to this great cause on that day. If next Sunday is not the preaching* day at your church, then let the next Sunday be duly observed. The temporary financial distress that we are now passing through is sure to seriously hurt the general work of our Church and our missionary interests especially. We must not fail to carry the Gospel of our Lord to all the world. So let every one do his best. Fraternally yours, R. Herbert Jones, Presiding Elder. OBITUARY. Died, near Adrian, S. C., on Sept. 28th, 1914, Major Loyd Little, son of S. D. and Jessie Anderson, aged two years and 28 days. Short was his stay on earth, but a sweeter flower never bloomed. He has filled his mission on earth and is gone safe from a mother's arms to the arms of Jesus, and we all feel that it was better that he lived, for we have a sweet hand drawing us on to heaven. Every thing possible was done by loving hands to stay the monster, but God knew best, who makes no mistakes, and we bow in humble submission to His will. And may God who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb remember in mercy the bereft father and mother and all that loved him so dearly. He was laid to rest in the Poplar cemetery, Dr. E. O. Watson conducting the funeral services. Grandpa A. WOULD SOW WHEAT. In View of the Uncertain Duration of thn l<!urnn<>nii Sfrinrorlo Editor Herald:? I would like to reach the school teachers and preachers in the county in an effort to induce the people to sow wheat. What may be the outcome of the struggle now on in Europe and its duration, embracing about GO per cent of the world's population, and effecting the entire world, we cannot foresee. One thing is in evidence, the crisis is upon us and something must be done. That the staple money crops, cotton and tobacco, must be eliminated , in part at least, there can be no question. That the growing of bread stuff will be our chief dependance no one will deny. That there can be successfully grown on well drained land in this county wheat crops, has long since been proven. That the time is ripe ?necessity is upon us?for a movement toward wheat growing is in ev idence. That to have enough planted to induce some public spirited citizen to erect a flour mill, it will be necessary to have a considerable area sown. The farmers in the county could easily plant from one to ten thousand acres and get good results, even if more were grown than necessary for individual use. Will not the school teachers and the preachers in the county endeavor to reach the whole people in the effort to get an estimate upon, an report the same to Mr. W. M. Wall, Farm Domonstator. Conway, S. C. Located as he is, no one is better situated to make a record of our findings, nor any more willing to assist. D. L. Roten. \f oi ivr runoru A fill V/AJ1 f AJ Vll U l%V Alt Prof. Coker and the undersigned will be at Mt. Olive church Sunday November 1st at llo'clock A. M., and at Pleasant View at 3 P.

JURY IN FLORENCE HAS GLFAREO BURGH CHARGED WITH THE MTRDER OF SAM COOK, AN HORRYITE LAST YEAR. According to the Florence Times the jury trying S. T. Burch for the killing of Sam Cook, in that city, last year, rendered a verdict of not guilty in the court there last Friday, The Times says: The jury in the Burch case which went into their room yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock, returned 1 ! i i 1 1 * ' ~ a venuct inree nours inter 01 not guilty on the charge of murder, but guilty on the charge of carrying con- . cealcd weapons for which he was sentenced to imprisonment in the* county jail for one month or the payment of a, fine of twenty dollars. The trial of this case elicited more interest than any other heard in this county in recent years, particularly on account of the prominence of the of the accused. SOCASTEE NEWS. Interesting Items Gathered by The Herald's Correspondent. Sunday night the members of the Epworth League enjoyed a very interesting talk by Mr. W. B. Clardy, who in the beginning gave a brief hsitory of the League. The members should be very much encouraged to aid in this great and good work. The pupils of the Socastee Graded schoo who have been selected to debate" the subject: "Resolved, That the European War will benefit the United States," are earnestly preparing for it. The debate will be held at the school building Friday, October 23, 3 p. m. The public is cordially invited. M TJr o r*\ 1-. - r * iuio. u. o. vuiruy 01 Andrews is spending a while with her parents near Stalvcv. One day last week, Mr. Harry Brown killed a rattlesnake measuring six feet and three inches with sixteen rattles and a button. Rev. Dukes of Mullins delivered an able sermon at Socastce Methodist church Sunday morning. Mrs. Addie West has been very ill for the past week. Though improving slowly, every one hopes for her a speedy recovery. We hope that the Sunday school convention to be held at the Socastce Methodist church Thursday, October 29th, will be a success and largely attended. Every one is invited to come and bring a well filled basket as dinner will be served on the grounds. Mr. Fred Tindal narrowly escaped serious injuries from being run over by a frightened horse last week. Mr. Bennie Clardy of Savannah Bluff spent last Sunday at the home of Mr. O. T. Clardy near here.
