' On some farms it appears there is enough hard work going on but not enough thinking and careful planning, o Let us trust that the year of 1919 will bring many changes and improvements to this county that wilt make it better for the people. 1> There is as much call for systems and planning in farming as there is in any work or business as comrxared to the amount of money invested. o Will this country submit to the humiliation of seeing Germans entering this country to try to become citizens, or if denied that to live and compete with our own people in business and enterpriseWe are fools to think of allowing it. O Get it out of your head that there is nothing to be made at farming. V/e know many farmers in this county who stalled in the woods with practically nothing some years ago; and by hard work and attention to business these same men have become wealhty citizens. Some of them drive fine automobiles and they have plenty to eat and a balance in the bank besides many comforts and conveniences round the dwelling. o In the face of many draw-backs and discouragements there has beer a great improvement in this county yes, even in the matter of roads Time has been when the water wai/Ul h I <rh in /iO ..I., cninmnc iat' Ji4?ii aii tv i uu ii nvvuinj/n <uu: almost any heavy rain for a man t< drive his buggy from here inti Floyds, or from hero to Port Harrel son or into Little River township Even if the roads get very mudd; now and hard to pass over with ai automobile, yetlet/us be thankfu that the'bridge&l cbu) causeways buil at igrdiftt'' expense durfng the last to' or.fifteen yearn now enables us to g when formerly we c'olifd not trust th bridges and swapms. <- uj jLlll'1-i: t California nnd Washington rati "fied the national prohibition amenc Blent to the constitution, making 2 States to act favorably on the basi law proposed. < Copyright I M jl J \* j i-y 'i (I j R.

JE1 CONWAY UGHTING COMPANY : i) WAS NOT AT FAULT: h Mr. Paul Quattlebaum Takes v The Herald to Task About Recent Item. j a Conway, S. C., Feb. 4, 191i). !' Horry Herald: City. . Gentlemen:? In your issue last week you made the statement that the Town pumping motor was burned out on account j of low voltage at the Power House, j Some time ago in one issue you made a reasonable statement as to the cause of the fire at Courthouse, in j your next issue changed this statei ( ment and laid the cause of the fire to the electric wiring.. | \ We do not know how much you . realize that such statements as these are very damaging to our busi- *. ncss; in any event you are familiar with the fact that you are respon- ( sible for any statement that refloc.s j or. the good name of any person 01 business, and we do not see why you would make such statements that you , cannot support by facts. At other times in the past you have seen fit c to make statements reflecting on our \ business. We cannot sec that it does you the slightest bit of good, but they are very damaging to us. We are inclined to attribute these acts more t? a lack of thought than intentional j injury, and trust this statement from ' us will be sufficient to correct the grievance. As to the Town motor: You, wo, nor any one else, is warranted in i.saying why it burned out. The fact is, against our advice and urgent protest, the pumping station was located at a point where of nccesstity it must operate without an attendant. No piece of machinery can do this safely. No one being present, no one knows what happened. However, with sickness at my home wo were up and can smakc the statement that the voltage was not low. Further, the motor was provide 1 with automatic under voltage protec' tion. The motor had no over load protection. A house had been built around the motor as near air tight as | they could build it to prevent froczi ing. With cold weather outside and the warm water inside the room was saturated with moisture. The ceilings and walls were hanging in beads of water. Of necessity the electrical apparatus was also permeated with this moisture?a condition the motor . manufacturers warn ... .l. i. i.! ^ .1 i _ ugum; t on a tug wcu to muiors wnen shipped. The motor was only on a short while when it burned out. Not knowing the cause, we have no statement to make to why it burned out, but it seems that you have positive information on the subject. As to the Court House: There is not so much as the slightest indication that this fire was caused by the j wiring. It would have been very strange if wires nailed up for fifjteon years could have suddenly found I some way to get together. The fuses I were not blown which shows positive 'ly that no short circuit occurred. If Iihe two wires had touched for the smallest fraction of a second the fuses would have blown. Not even the deluge of water was able to make a short. We have since torn , this work out and find that it was an , impossibility for any two wires to j .uve come in contact, as each wire ! *,?.?? i uii oofrvra\*ziy uciwwn UlJIOront } floor joist. No two wires wore between the same joist. In every respect the party who wired the job did the work according to rules and in a very workmanly manner, using _ much heavier material than is now Ml Loads] ot Mules and Horses I have 1 4 n| Mules just in, also car load 9 lot Buggies, Harness, Eto- 9 NKINS " s. c. | equired. The fire was evidently j Carted on top of the floor. The H uilding is double floored. The ^ ire seemed to follow tho top floor diich is of light material and only ? urncd through the aubfloor in Htv. . J laces several feet from each other !9 Vhile doing this it also burned the 9 !< ors and casing. Wo called this matter to the at cation of Mr. Andeison a few days .go, but write the above that yoti ] rlight fully undersatnd our positiou - J ri the matter and take proper step 1 o amend the grievance and prevent ts being repeated. Very truly yours, Quattlebauni Light & Ice Co., % Hy Paul Quattlebaum, Pres. 9 (Concerning the fire at the court 9 louse, it was stated by those who vent to the fire that it was caused by A A browing cigarettes into a saw-dust 1 >ox used for a cuspidor near the leor of the grand juiy room and was 9 stated in a news item. Later, the * J A. II I _vi11\ vi iiiu v-ouri cancel ancntion to ndications appearing on closer ex- 3 uninations, making a strong show- fl ng that the fire originated between |1 lu floor and ceiling, where the? elecric wiring came under two pl/ices in he floors, where the fire hael burned W nost. We are frank to say that we 1c ont know what caused the fire* at he court house. We published what )thcrs, who were su])poseel to know more about it than we die!, told us. -* 3 We /ire told that the power company tore had nothing to do with the firing even if it had been elefectiv", ind this was well Known it is said. --.j Regarding the burning of the motor owned by the town, the Herald representative applied to town officials to find out what hael caused it. And the Her,aid published what was tedd it as the cause, without any thought o! whose fault it was. In view oT the facts stated in Mr. Quattlcbaum's letter, no blame could possibly attach to the lighting company. Furthermore, the Herald had no thought of doing anybody an injustice and was not in position to lay the blame at the company's door, even if the voltage did run low at the town iimp house. It is certainly a misV'ke that the Herald has seen fit in times past to make statements lefloct ing on the business of the lighting company. On the other hand this paper has consistently stood for the j growth and success of not' only the lighting and power company, hut for every other enterprise in either the town or the county. Mr. Quattlcbaum does nr>f rmf !# /-? tlin .v........ I . - ..x,v.v,v. vm: lllilll} guuil things tho Herald has printed in th interest of his company and of ^ the business of that company during' the ? many years that both have been located here. The Herald may have a j made mistakes and it may have J been misinformed many times abou^'j| things; and any injustice or seeming unfairness to him, when it occurred,.# 01 was thought to have happened, was entirely without intention of any ? injury and because of a lack of understanding as to how some particular item might apnlv in the nnrtinn. lar case. At no time has this paper had everything but the best intentions in regard to these matters, and always and especially good feeling for Mr. Ouattlehanm ?n/i company. The Herald is glad to publish his letter and correct any wrong impression th?at was created. ?Ed.) o BONDS FOR HIGHWAYS. Greenwood.?Senator S. H.
