Liberty bonds are as safe as the country we live in. o Some men want results before they are possible of attainment. o Horry farmers must plant wheat if they want good flour of thoil own. o Farmers will stand the war better than any other class of the poo pic. o One man allowed the war to take place and plunged the entire world into a bloody conflict. His punishment is in sight. (j Some men live on visions they create in their own brains and which thry think are actual facts; but they never cask in on them. Cotton is much lc.-s this year than the crop was expected to be. The price is likely to be correspondingly high unlo.the price is confrolic i by governmental regulations. It is only the fear of punishment that causes the criminal to hesitate. Thorfecrc it is important that punishment he an;> k d for wrongdoing as promptly am1 effectually as circumstances of life will allow. o Government securities such as liberty bonds are as safe as the land on which the farmers cultivate their crops. Indeed there may be a defeat in the title to the land, but there is no defeat in the title to the liberty bonds. o The regulations concerning either the sale or the grinding of wheat in this country are the result of regulations put into effect by the food Administration. A farmer who woubi vr?f 11 an t n libini whmit on mommf of these regulations would show his lack of patriotism. o Buying war savings stamps, h sides being a good investment for the people, teaches them the habit of thrift. Habits of thrift are what the people need in time of war. Saving will help the country over tlie emergency, or "over the top" as a soldier would express it. ??o The farmer who has raised his supplies for the coming year is in good condition financially no matter how small his balance at the Lank may be. The one who failed to raise his supplies and who ex pects 10 buy what ho will oat, is goinng t otho bad at a very oarly date. The soldiers in France appreciate the home paper the same as a letter from home; and oven more because it is a long letter, longer htan any relative is willing to undertake to write. Help send the Herald to thr soldiers in accordance with the plan which will be advertised and ex plained in this paper in an curly i sue. 1 KPW lcv,< * . 1 CANNOT BE DONE. A good county paper cannot be printed, without loss, under present conditions, with all home print, and n good inlay of local and general news every week, for less than $1.50 01 $2.00 per year. With very few exceptions the readers of the Horry Herald say that this paper is as good as any local paper they have ever seen?we have been told by many people visiting here from other states that the Herald is the best county paper they have ever seen published. We appreciate what the people say and realize that we cannot keep the paper up to this high standard without hard work and the expense of much money. Herein lies the reason why we have advertised for the last several months that after October 1st, 1918, the price of the Herald would he $1.50 per year. In order that no sub scriber might overlook this matter we agreed to take subscriptions at the old rate of $1.00 until the above stated date. Furthermore new rulings arc laid down by Ciovermcntal agencies in order to save white news paper and pre\ent a shortage all over the United States, and among these regulations is one which requires all newspapers to stop every subsciiber when his time is out. We have advertised this for a long time in connection with the raise in the price. The numbers of subscribers who have come in during the last several months and paid their subscriptions in advance is one of the great o:-i rosumoniais we can snow as our elficicncy and ability to publish a paper wh'ch the people like and will vi ad. While many have taken advantage of the opportunity to roan \v o.l the oi l price of $1.00, there are some who will doubtless neglect (his unutil it is too lato. These may decide to let the paper stop because M the increased price; but they will come back sooner or later rather Mian do without the weekly paper \hey have re ad sc long. Tins week leaves only a few days .noie during which renewals can be taken at the price of $1.00 per year. There has been a rush during the last several weeks, and we trust that there will be a double rush during the few days that remain, for we arc wilbng to stick to the bargain we offered, and the more who take advantage of it the more we feel that we are giving satisfaction with the paper and that the people appreciate our efforts to give them a good paper.

Mr. Editor, there arc boys in Camp Jackson, who after receiving their notice to appear at Conway to entrain for Camps put in a good days work on the public roads of this County. These ar? Uncle Sam's boys, not the ones at home in deferred classes who refuse to work or fight. They are downright slackers and should be ? dealt with as such. If every man in the draft age now was to refuse to work the roads what would be the result ? Country traffic would . cease. Mr Editor, is there any so- , lution for this vexing problem.! Please answer. ?Voter.

W. Oliver. Today just one year ago, The Death Angle knocked at outdoor; And the precious soul of our father, Away on their wings they bore. It left us sad and lonely, It fil'ed our hearts with pain; But we are trying hard to live, So welll meet him in Heaven again, j 'Twas he we loved forever, And the parting Oh 'twas hard; For he fought for us our battles, Taught us always to trust in God. Ho lived a life we'll ne'er forget, In the future days to conic; For he always clung to the things which were right, And let alone the things which were wrong. And today we all still love him, Even though his voice is stilled; Even though his chair is vacant, And will never again he filled. We're trying though to meet him, In eternal days to come; In that great and gloriou mansion. We hope to make our home. There we will be again with our| father, In that home forever blessed; No more pain, .suffering, or worry, In the great mansions of rest. ?Mrs. Clara Oliver Cook. o un rum noiroTinM IIU rmHL UDJLUIlUll TO REVENUE BILL I Washington.?The house lato to- j day passed the war revenue bill designed to raise by taxation approximately $8,182,000,000, of the 24 or more billions needed by the nation for the current year.
