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

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

f HIGHWAYS.
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

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:

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

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. Four

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."
