THURSDAY, SEPT. 2 0, 1918.
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

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.

Washington, Sept. 24?Ambassador
Jurserand, ol France, in present

in appreciation of the reception of
that body of former Premier Vivani
and Marshal Jofofre when they
came to welcome America to the

The vases came from the natinna

pronounce them to be from ar

WAR SAVING
STAMP NEWS
Perhaps those persons who neglect
to redeem the pledges they made in
the W. S. S. campaign last June imagine
that the American soldiers
leave their native shore and go overseas
to take part in a sham batte; at
any rate, sham war loan pledges at
home can not be counted on to finance
a real battle. Those persons
who, through forgetfulness or neglect,
have not purchased the War
Savings Stamps which they pledged

that in most of the counties the W.

with the pledge made during
the June campaign.

J FEAR AMERICANS
KILL PRISONERS
A (Ici'man prisoner captured rojcently
suggested to his captors that
I they send a note from him to Gera.r
soldiers, by airplanco or otherI
v i e. explaining that the report that
, t # ' 1
Americans kill German prisoners \s
j untrue. He said that many Germans
'v.eie sick of fighting- and would surI
render if they were assured that Americans
do not kill their prisoners, as
the Germans have been led to believe
by their officers.
I An appeal written in Knglish calling
upon Americans of German an]
eeslry to join the forces of Germany
has been dropped behind the Ameri.
can lines by enemy aviators and by
small balloons. It asserts tnat in
Germany the Americans would find
greater liberty and more opportunity
for advancement than in the
United States. It attacks President
! Wilson, asserting that he is more
Knglish than American. Germany is
pictured as one poor little nation dofending
herself against the vicious
attacks of the whole world.

DOES ROAD DUTY

Editor Herald:?
The U. S. Government is rounding i
up slackers and loafers in other
places and forcing them to work or
fight. Why don't the officials get
busy down in Horry County for
there are slackers here?
We have right here in'our section

proached about it in a boastful,
snarling: way, "I am one of Uncle
Sam's boys." 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.

which appears to ho the latest dec'aration
of the Legislature on the
subject of road duty, and which i->

follows among other things, to wit:
"That all able-bodied male persons

of the Gospel actually in charge of a

MEMOIRS
To Mr. I). 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.

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. The huge
measure?the largest of its kind in
the history of any nation?now goes
to the senate. Passage of the bill
was unanimous. A formal roll call,
demanded by Majority Leader Kitchin,
recorded 1150 yeas and no nays,
which, announced by Speaker Clark
was greeted by a mighty roar of
cheers and applause.
