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.

There need be no hesitation as tf?
what crops to plant next year. Any
"kind of supplies will bring good
money.

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.

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.

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.

The war tax will take in hundreds

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.

(The State.)
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

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

will be the coldest December since the
year for 1918. We join with

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.

"Where did your watch come

"A German gave it to me," ho answered.
