Things are yet a long ways from 0
nonnal following the war. p
o p
This is a curious old world we live n
in and the ways of some things are
past finding out. f,
o 1,
It is hard to believe, but nc.ver theless
tine that you will find mean- t
ncss in this world where you should r
least suspect it. s
o s
We have almost banished the mos- s
quito from Conway, and you sec that c
chills and fever have diminished at ^
the same time. a
p
It is impossible to find out tho {
motives of some men. They cannot r
tell themselves what they are after
nor the reason for their actions.
? o 1:
While the farms of the county are {
improving from year to year, Conway a
is growing as a town. We are mak- (
ing progress as time goes along and j
that is what we. want to do. 1
o J
No matter how severe the. penalty f
is for violating the laws against in- ?:
* ? t i ii - i i .. i*
loxicating annas, mere are plenty mi ,
men who will brave the law and lo- t
cate a still almost in sight of a pub- t
lie road. i
o (
Horry County has recorded more
land deals during the last month than <
were ever transacted before in the .
same, length of time; and the indi- ?
cations are that land trades will con- <
tinuc at a greater rate for some time
to come.
o
While population increases, the
amount' of land to the individual decreases,
and this is what make?s the
value of land increase from year to
year. While men increase as time
goes on, there is no more land being
made.
??o
Some farmers lost heavily on tobacco
this year. They give vai ious
reasons for failure; but no matter
what they say about it to explain
their loss, we know that the most of
it is due to their lack of knowledge
and their failure to give it attention
when it needed it.
e
Tho best section of public road in
the county is the part of the road that
has been finished under government
supervision extending from near Conway
toward Homcwood. What a
pleasure it is to ride on this smooth
hard surface* This shows what is
needed all over this county and we
must never cease our efforts until we
get what we need and want.
o
Education is a great aid to a man
or woman either where they have
the seeds of ambition in them and
want to succeed. Where the boy or
girl seems to be perverted from the
beginning to ways of idleness and
meanness, education sometimes appears
to do more harm tha 1 good.
rONS OF APPLES, GO

Nothing* Should be Allowed to
Go to Waste in Modern
Times.
! *!i -. . ,? I
"There are grapes and apples gong
to waste down here by the cartoad.
What can we do to save
hem?"
This was the message which reach-<1
the home demonstration agep.t iof3lark<*
County, Wash.*. over. the. long-*
liutance telephone in her office at
/ancouver one afternoon in the late
all. Home demonstration agonts
nakc it their business novor to be
stumped," so the reply went back
Hold the fort and I'll be down early
n the morning to help you lay your
dans. I guess the good Lord must
ntend that fruit to go to the boys at
ho post hospital here in Vancouver,
nd between us wo must sec that it
caches them."
The following day the little town of
'isher was deep in planning. When
ho home demonstration agent, who
rorlcs under the supervision of the
'/nitcd States Department, of Agriulture
and the State agricultural
ollege, arrived a council of war was
old. Tho outcome was that the
!range offered to lend its big kitchn
for the work, while the Rod Cross
romised to supply the. workers and
ay for the first 100 pounds of sugar
eeded
One committee scoured the towr
or utensils necessary to make oart ads
of grapes and apples into fruit
utter and returned triumphant with
wo big oil stoves to supplement tho
ange at the hall. There were also
everal autos loaded with knives,
poons, sieves, dishpans, pots, and
tone crocks. Meanwhile another
ommittee was scouring the Grange
litchens, sweeping the (lining rooms,
nd spreading down clean papers in
ireparation for the grand opening of
he Fisher community kitchen the
icxt day.
Community Kitchen Opens Doors.
The next morning it rained a regu3r
downpour. But did that delay
he opening? It did not. By 8 o'clock
i dozen women and three me.n and
ho first consignment of fruit were at
land. The men kindled the fire,
rought in a good supply of water in
ni'k cans and started out after more,
i uit. Tho women rolled up their
ileevos, tied on their big aprons, and
>et to work. The home demonstra;ion
agent had planned so carefully
hat after the first confusion died
iway there was only the quiet hum |
>f orderly work.
Each operation was in charge of
I mi i . * .
suuau. i no notiost and most responsible
position, of course, was that of
stirring tho butter- to make sure it
lid not burn as it got thicker and
thicker and more and more sugary
At this nerve-racking job, delegates
who had the entire confidence of the
assembly took turns, and it was only
occasionally that a more worker was
able to ddate the nostril of scorn and
remark,"I smell your jam burning."
Grape and apple butter made out of
Washington's luscious grnpr.s and
rich juicy apples, the kind the people
in the East stop and stare at in the
store windows, once tasted is something
to remember forever. The
grapes were so sweet that by combining
them with the apples the demand
on the sugar barrel was vary l'ght. At
noon the old Grange coffee pot came
out and when the men returned wet,
but undaunted from gathering the
fruit, they all sat down at the long
table in regular Grange fashion.
| (For seven days this was the program.
Even on Sunday the kitchen
I wax worked to its full capacity for no
one seemed to think it was breaking
i tho Sabbath to save that fruit for the
boys at the post hospital.
Three Tons of Fruit Into Butter.
At the end of the seven days a tor
of grapes, and two tons of apple?

fruit butter for the hospital. Thank>;

were used for this whole quantity.
And what was the. report of the
fruit butter made by the boys at the
hospital who sampled it ? They said
"This certainly tastes like home and
we can not afford to die of the *flu
if living means such eats as these."
TOE HORRY HERALD, CON
~ " ~*~*+ ?
The work of the kitchen at Fischer
vas so successful that within a week
the home demonstration agent was
called upon to organize three other
kitchens of this type where the same
sort of salvage work for fruits could
be carried on. Good organization
makes these community enterprises
successful, and it is not surprising
that the women in that community
feel that the service of the home dem
onstration agent is a worthwhile investment
for their country.
ADVENTURES" IN
SOIL BUILDING
Clemson College.?From Andetson
County comes the story of two fanners
who have made some worthwhile
discoveries about cover crops for impoving
and enriching their lands. Mr.
Wade Drake, one of the best farmers
in Anderson, who knew the value of
nitrate of soda on crops, found thi*
xrr.a v* flint a /ir/\*i nf ni?irviti/i?
J Vll?v ? VI \JJL. VAIIIlOVll VIV/f vl
preceding com and cotton equals in
fertilizing value a good application of
nitrate of soda.
The discovery of another Anderson
fa**mer, Mr. Beaty, is even more definite.
In a field where clover had
been turned under and the land planted
to com 91*
acid *l<m? oiv Jt>%U of *u#A on
thf> othev half he used the quantity
pf acid plus W popflde pf
of soda, and yet th^ve was- po, difference
. to be seen in thp coi^ in tlvp
whole field. Mr. Bc$ty says $hat lie
now sees the value of cover crops but
that what bothers him is that he
waited until his hair was gray before
making the discovery in soil building.
Both of these fanners are r.ow
thoro converts to the cover crop doctrine.
Mr. Drake is sowing* 40 acres
of crimson clover this fall and is
planting vetch and rye in all of the
land which is to go in cotton and corn
another year. Mr. Beaty is planting
20 acres more in crimson clover an I
will harvest sec<l next spring for a
still bigger planting next year. But
what is more, nearly "evarybody's
doin' it" in Anderson now and County
Agent C. S. Patrick, is glad.

TOMATOES RACK IN" FAVOR
MAKE GOOD PRESERVES
Thrifty housekeepers in localities
where fruit has been high priced an-1
scarce this summer are turning to
their old friend, the tomato, to increaso
their preserve supply. Made by
the following recipe, which is recommended
by the United States Department
of Agriculture, tomato preserves
are a real delicacy.
The pear or cherry varieties of tomato
are best for preserves. Other
kinds may be used, hut these grow
tvisily and abundantly and make a
much more attractive preserve. Immerse
the ripe tomatoes, a few at a
time, in boiling water for a few minutes
only. Remove, the skins carefully
so as not to break the tomatoes.
Weigh them and place them in a preserving
kettle with as many pounds of
granulated sugar as there arc. tomatoes.
Prepare green ginger root by carefully
scraping off the skin and shaving
the root to small bits. Add one
level teaspoon of those ginger shavings
to each 2 pounds of tomatoes.
I.et the contents of the kettle come Lj
a boil for 10 minutes. Remove the
tomatoos from the sirup and spread
them upon a flat dish to cool. Thh
will keep them from coming1 to pieces,
When cool, return them to the boiling
sirup and boil gently until they arc
the desired thickness. Put into jar.
while hot, adding a slice of lemon tc
each jar before sealing.
RUSSIAN REFUGEES
IN REGION OF OMSK
Vladivostok.?Russian refugees ii
the Omsk region live under condition
unfit for animals. Large families ar.
crowdod into curtained off spaces si:
by eight feet in barracks unfit fo
habitation.
A nurse who has been serving a
Omsk writes this graphic description
"The plan of the living quarters J
like this?there are long narrow plat
, forms about eight feet wide stretch
ing down the length of the barrack
with narrow aisles between and an
othoir platform overhead.
"The refugees each curtain of

starved. Practically all of them have
had typhus and have never gotten
well again. Half have* the scurvy,
and some of these arc so saturated
with poison in their systems that if
! you poked your finger into them it
would make a hole. About every
third one has tuberculosis, and some
have a combination of all these diseases.
And, of course, they are all
suffering from malnutrition in some .
form or other."

GOLDFINCH-McINVEILL.
One of the most interesting events
of the early fall was the marriage of
Miss Maye Goldfinch, eldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Goldfinch to
Mr. Harry C. Mclnveill, of Hartsvillc,
Tuesday evening at six-thirty o'clock, i
,, < r* ...
nnr vimwuy lviernonist cnurch.
Rev. B. G. Murphy, Pastor of the
bride, performed the ceremony.
The Church was beautiful in its (
decorations with the white tapers
burning on the altar, against a pyramid
of ferns and golden rod.
The bride's attendants, all of whom
wore lovely dresses of yellow draped
? in white, and carried bouquets of
ami /erp. . The bridfe* jeisMi*s
Sadie GoJdfinch wa* m^bi
of v honor, and another sister, Mrs. W?
Goldfinch, as dame of honor and
her friends Misses Lola Lawrence of
Florence, Essie Perham of Green Sea,
Donna Coleman and Ella Sessions of
Conway, as bride's maii^. The dame
of honor .was all in white ami carried
a shower bouquet of goldcnrod.
The ring was carried in on a silver
tray by Master Sidney Goldfinch,
little nephew of the bride; the flower
girls, little Misses Adclyn and Helen
Vernon Goldfinch, nieces of the bride,
wore dainty fairy frocks of white
[with bows of yellow.
The bride, who entered with her
j brother, A. E. Goldfinch of Conway,
was the picture of girlishness and
beauty in her wedding gown of white
charmeuse satin made with a court
train and beaded in pearls. Her veil
was fastened with a wreath of pearls
and orange blossoms, and her bouquet
was brides roses showered with lil lies.
The groom was attended by
n 1 O _ / 1 '11 *
onnmii oomner, 01 naixsvuie, as ocsi I
man and Robert Poe, of Hartsville,
Harold Blackwell of Hartsville,
Whitcford Sessions and W. 0. Davis, (
of Conway, as groomsmen.
Just before the ceremony Miss Law :
rence sang "For You Only" by Henry
E. Gushe, after which Miss Kathleen
Sessions sang "Constancy" by Weber. 1
The wedding music was played uy
Mrs. Vivan F. Piatt, a school friend
of Miss Goldfinch, who used Lohenjgren's
bridal chorus as a processional,
j and Mendleson's wedding march as a
j recessional.
The bride is one of the most popu!
lar and best loved girls of Conway,
and will be missed by every one as
she goes to make her home in Harts ville.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal party returned to the
home* of Mr. and Mrs. Goldfinch
where light refreshments were sei*ved
and the bride changed her wedding
1 costume for a handsome travelling
suit of taupe grown. Mr. and Mrs.
Mclnveill left in a shower of rice for
'' Florence where they caught the train
and will spend their honeymoon in
' the Mountains of North Carolina.

for the bride-elect, Miss Maye
Goldfinch.
The house was beautifully decorated
with goldcnrod, the color scheme
of the wedding, yellow and white was
^ carried out in all the decorations for
^ the shower.
i The guests were met by little Miss
s Laura Frances Spivey and Margaret
j Battle, each dressed in white dresses
ic with yellow ribbons. The guest were
r given a paper and asked to write a
poem to the bride. These were made
t into a brides book and prescntol to
: Miss Goldfinch with a request to read
* them. Miss Spivey then invited the
- guests into the dining room where a
- shower of golden rod met the eye; a
s delicious salad course was w-rvwl foli.
lowed by an ice course.
Just as the hostess rose to leave
f the table the door bell rang and the

ROAD LAW A FARCE.
Editor Herald:?
I see in your issue of September
15th that Hon. Robt. B. Scarborough
las been to Nichols, S. C., and finds
ault with the condition of the
iridges on the I'oad from old Bayhor,
>. C., to Nichols, S. C. He says
?ridges are in a deporable condilion,
ays they are a disgrace to a civilized
ommunity and actually dangerous to I
ho travellini public, he says the
nidges on that piece of road is a rejection
on our County as well as a
nenace to the travelling public. Now,
ome people that have not seen this
pad will think that Mr. Scarborough
s very severe in his cbndemfl^ti'bn of
ho condition of this road^sbut to i
hose that ha\e seen and know how it
s, know that Fr. Scarborough has
>ut it very mildly. Now Mr. Scarjorough
don't know which is to blame,
-he County Commissioners or the
'toad Overseers. I don't know either,
but I do know one crowd that is to
tdame, that is the crowd that goes in
;ars at the rate of 50 to 60 miles an
lour. I have seen bridges break to
ncces when they would hit them. I
nave seen the bridge tear up and the
planks follow the car clear away
Prom the ditch, oftimes broken to
pieces, and I know another crowd that
is to blame, that is our law makers.
Tbey are. to blame for not giving us a
5-mile speed limit over all bjpdges.
It will take lumber 3 inches thick andi
put down with railroad spikes toj;
stand a car going 20 to 30 miles ah
hour, 50 to 60 would tear them up.
No, Mr. Scarborough hasn't got language
sufficient to condemn the
bridge-wrecking crowd severe enough.
Some cars in the community is a
blessing (the Doctors)^ while sornfr
ethers is a course of the cussede?t
kind. There is a bridge or a ditch,
ha? been a bridge, across the public
road near my house, bridge now
broke into pieces the ditch deep
enough to make it extremely dangaroiirt,
The Overseer says Uftfit the
Supervisor will not furniHh h^^i lumber
to make a bridge. When the
Overseer, the Supervisor, the Commissioners,
the Hoilfcitor and the
Judge all shake hands with the name
twang the /load i/aw is a farce.
