H. Woodtrard, Conway, S. C. THURSDAY, FEB. 12, 1920. Lack of the right improvements on a farm has often kept the owner down. A new lot of fence wire and a new barn on a farm will bring better returns than pleasure automobile will do. o Business plans are usually kept as a secret for the reason that it they are known opposition will aiise before results are secure d. ??? Many of us fail to realize when we are doing well and spoil our suecosby changing for what we think at the time may be better. o The older people grow the more ' they are inclined to look upon the actions of others with charity rather than with the critical eyes of youth. 1 <> I There is money to be made in raising cattle and hogs in this section of ( the State. There are plenty of good .soils for the growing of corn and oth- ^ er feed crops which may be turned into cash through the medium of live stock. o Some of us could go through an undertaking with much better success if we could do it twice; the first time beginning at the back end and going forward, so as to learn the ways we would have to follow the next time in getting it all done straight. ?o On a farm the chickens and egg* should be a source of food for the family and also a source of income ir. money; for every good farmer should know how to produce all that he needs for his own use and have a sur plus left to sell on the markets. The man or woman who is not con tent with their present condition, and have not the strength to change tha< condition, are constantly between two fires which will burn and burn until they are worn out. It is better to be content, or else have the strength to change affairs. o As the supply of timber in this county grows less and less, the price of lumber will doubtless advance, an 1 it will soon approach the time when it will be cheaper to build with bricks j or stone, or maybe concrete. The timber is now being used up faster than more can grow on what uncultivated lands are left. o The boll weevil will not do a great amount of damage in Horry County this year, because it will hardly be able to spread over a large enough territory. Fanners In some sections may not see a single one of the weevils in their cotton patches this year. But it is now time to begin to prepare for changed conditions when the weevil takes the county, which it is t. . .1 i - 1 _ I A ! i ? iH'Uiui u> (io a.nu noi oeiore long.

Motorists of the country will be leased to hear that 1920 will probably be the biggest year of progress in the history of the Lincoln Highway association. At a recent meeting President P. A. Seiberling reported that the 1919 construction exceeded $9,000,000 and that the new year will see an equal or greatei sum expended to put the grea* transcontinental road in permanent shape. The year will also see the passage of the Townsend Highway bill, which will be the culmination of the associations long educational effort. The rosgnation of Mr. Schilling as. president was received with regret, but his work as tlr> head of The G odycar Tire and Rub ber Company calls for his entire time. H. B. Joy was elected to succeed him. j HORRY HAS REST STRAWBERRY LAND This is What One Says Who Has Lived Here and in Other States. The Herald is in receipt of the following very interesting letter from Mrs. Lucy J. Pettinger who is pleasantly remembered by the people of Conway: n 1 a ?* i i rantor neraia: I do npt see how I can get along without my paper so send for si* months instead of a year, as there may be some changes here and I may go away for some time. We are having quite heavy fogs here at pre sen', and have had quite a number of heavy frosts. The citrus fruits do not seem to be injured. I will explain why. At the bottom of each tree there is a little oil burning furnace and when a frost is threatened the crude oil is fired and a low black smudge is start ed and is so heavy the frosts are held no. I still have faith in South Carolina. 1 think if California methods In counteract frosts were used and the Colorado systems of sunken boxes for water to irrigate, immense o ops of berries could be raised, rnd : me times it could be used on orchards as veil, especially peach and p nr. Ap pies were shipped from this stoiv across to Europe last year urdil he"c was a shortage hero. If that could lv and pay why not there ? You sec 1 have never given up my idea of a. - - ------ vuuilli(1 glUWC'S It." lil lion that I once tried to bring about there. If people were not organized here they would go under, and the people there do not realize they have the finest pear and berry growing country, I think I can safely say in the United States.

DOGS WITH RABIES CAUSE MUCH TROUBLE Columbia?Dogs infected with rabies have bitten 3,037 South Carolm- ? ians during the past eleven years and thirteen citizens of the State have died from hydrophobia during the same period, according to the statistics of the bureau of vital statistics of the State Board of Health. Dr. Asbury Coward and his assistants at the State laboratory have l treated 234 dog-bitten patients since j 1909 and 2,803 patients have been 1 given treatment at their homes, all having been inoculated with germs cm rabies-infected canines or some her "mad" animal. The most striking example of this menace was 8S hildren being treated in the State laboratory in the spring of 1910, all having been bitten by the same dog. There is an economic side to the "mad" dog question, too, said Dr. Coward to-day in discussing the sit uation. Of the persons treated at home the cost to them and their families was $140,150, and those given the Pasteur treatment in Columbia cost the State of South Car olina $17,354.

During the period the State, lab- "" >ratory has examined the heads of 2,133 animals for the rab'es, and of t'icse 1,353 showed positive tests. Among the animals examined and found to have been "mad" were dog3, ;ats, sheep, mules, cows, goats and i iomesticated "wild animals. J Rabies statictics show that since 1909 there has been an ascending and descending scale of the number 1 of patients given the Pasteur treatment. In 1909 there were 27 patients treated; in 1910 and 1911 there were 114, respectively; 1912 there were 147; in 1913 treatment was given to 316; in 1914, to 226; in 1915, to 247; j in 1916 to 399; in 1917 to 552; in 1918 to 445, and in 1919 to 374.

Dr. Coward commended the efforts of the South Carolina Landowners' Association to have an adequate dot? control tlaw passed by the General Assembly, claiming that it was one of the real legislative needs of the State, not only from a health but au economic point of view. He said that he coincided with the view taken by the development association, tha. there could be no real sheep-raising industry fostered in South Carolina and that the health of the people would be menaced as long as the vagrant dog would be allowed to run at large. lOOS WITH FAVOR ON VILLA'S WORK Washington.? Because Francisco Villa "reserves all rights to lvbbcry and loot for himself" his operations are looked upon with favor by the population, the Senate committee investigating the Mexican situation was told by Hepry H. Knox, a New Vork mining engineer. Mr. Knox said he had had 20 years' experience in Mexico. "Villa establishes a certain rough justice," Mr. Knox said, "whenever 1 he gains control of an area, and re presses all 'looting; drunkenness and 1 robbery. His fiist act is to close the saloons. No one else is allowed tc^ rob and Villa contents himself with making a levy on classes of the p^p illation able to pay, saying that tho money is to go to his 'cause* and giving a receipt. The levy stands for i certain period." j "How does that compare with the Darranza government's methods," he was asked. "Well, Villa's system has a certain finality about it. During the period for which his levy is made no more lemands are formulated. The Carranza government makes it ; levy to:lay, and comes forward with demands for more tomorrow and on | the next." ?.
