Cotton is a more important crop than it used to be. It now produce* n large share of th(? food that is consumed in this country. ? ?o There need be no hesitation as tf? what crops to plant next year. Any "kind of supplies will bring good money. o- | We owe our thanks to the men and v.-omen of Horry County who are constantly putting forth their every effort to improve the conditions of our people. I Ml ~ Never wait to pick through the rock if there is a way to get bchinrt it without the labor. The knitting craze has not yet reached its limit, but perhaps it will befoie the war is over. o Run-a-way matches are kindled various ways. o Nearly every good movement that ever came along got. its share of opposition. i You could not say that a man wa* | honest who had never been tempted. o We are proud of another thing, ani. that is the great number of farmers who are planting wheat. o 1,et us find pleasure in performing; our duty. u The national movement to save Tood will stop the waste nil over the, country if we lot it. n? There is a reason for everything but in some cases the reason is mighty hard to find. ??o There are no better people ?n earth than those of this town and county. This is a good reason why you should work for your community. o Many a man when making money fails to think of the time when he may not bp able to make any; and he spends it all as he goes. You wdt make a mistake to do this at this time when nobody knows how long tho war will last. o Conway is certainly large enough to afford a moving picture show. The town has a building and it fully equipped, but the show does not run. \\ o are unable to find any good reason. Other towns have their "movies" and they go right along \ogardless of the war or anything else In fart it seems that the war has increased their business Now what is the matter with Conway? o The war tax will take in hundreds of people wh< e the regular ineonr tax law only touched one here and there. Single persons are entitled to exemptions of one thousand dollars and mvwried people to two thousand dollars. The balance of the net income over these amounts must pay the war income tax.

' ' GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANGE FOR SOLDIERS Government Life Insurance for Soldiers must be applied for before Feb. 12. The government has provided by legislative enactment for cheap life insurance for its soldiers. The maximum amount that a soldier can take out is $10,000.00 at a #ost of $8.00 per one thousand per annum at the age of 29 years?above that age the cost \v< uld be slightly more and below slightly less. This insurance is what is known as term insurance, and is eonvortable into any other kind of insurance at the close of the war or live years thereafter. Regular insurance companies will not take soldier isks except at prohibitive rates. The government comes in and says to its soldiers, inasmuch as you are not able to get insurance in the regular Insui ance Companies, I will furnish you what von ran not 0*01\ from .n^.l at a loss cost than one in civilian life can got the same protection in regular companies. Now the object of this communication is to ask tin4 families of men now in tlv service from Horry County to write to their soldier boys calling attention to this cheap insurance that is available for them and also to stress the further fact that their application for insurance must be filed before February the 12th. Write them now, before it is too late. Good insurance is considered a good investment for any one. There is none hotter or cheaper than thi.? that the government is now offering its soldier boys. ?

Snow began to fall in Columbia about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and continued for several hours. The j mercury in the thermometer played around the freezing point and the wind made outdoor work disagreeable, business stood at a standstill and people flocked indoors. Horses and nudes v.ero taken to their stalls ami the an-j tomobiles and street cars were about tlie only tilings that could go. The amusement houses were heavy : losers yesterday. The audiences were ] slim during the afternoon and last ! night. Only the most ardent motion j picture enthusiasts ventured out to j witness the film plays. Walking was | difficult last evening and the indiea- i tions are for continued cold weather, i ILLINo Ull Mr. Sullivan, the weather man, sain last night that at 10 o'clock the thermometer was at 20 degrees abo/e freezing and that he expected it to fall to about l(> degrees above bv morning. With two exceptions this will be the coldest December since the year for 1918.

The exceptions are December, 1H94, when on the 29th the thermometer registered nine degrees above zero, and December. 1909, when <>n the .'30th it registered Id degree:* above zero. As explained by Mr. Sullivan a cold wave is in the nature of a hill of cold an-, and in the present instance South Carolina is on the edge of the hill, for which he naively remarked we should be thankful. Yesterday morning the CIreat Lakes were having a temperature of about MO degrees below zero. The edge of the zero area was in the northern poi t of Ohio. <> Explaining l!is Generosity. ( from the Toronto Globe.) A "Tommy," lying in a hospital, had beside him a watch of curious ami foreign design. The attending doctor was interested. "Where did your watch come from?" he asked. "A German gave it to me," ho answered. A little piqued, the doctor inquired how the foe had come to convey this token of esteem and affection.
