SWELLING IMPORTANT FARM EQUIPMENT x-.? 4 The dwelling is the headquarters )4 the farm business. Chores are lone before breakfast and often afjei supper, the stock need close at.ention, certain farm seeds are kept n the house, the hired man may deep * there, and t he woman folk^ jften take care of the poultry; thus if. is almost essential that the house -1 L - it-- 11 iciiauuuuiy ciuse 10 vne oiner wildings, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The value of the house constitutes x" important part of the real estate raluc 40f the farm. On the higherpriced cotton-belt farms the value of .he dwelling represents from f> to If per cent of the real estate value A the farm, while in the eastern part of the United States this percentage is more commonly 20 per cent tor over. The beautifying of the yard by shrubbery, flower beds, and a goid awn involves the occasional use of manure, the introduction of fertile soil, the use of a team and of small form tools, all of which are available on the average farm. o Paint does not make the bam any more than cloth^ makes the man. j Nevertheless, a well-painted,' neat aarn is -fairly- good evidence that :hc owner is efficient and prospermia. i ream I ay, March 16th, % through the , we will have >oda Fountain Cream. i. i or 'phone us * e will appre ss.

THK HORRY HERALD, CONY 10RRY NOT IN ' ON BRIDGE PROJECTa hi In an interview with Senator Hal ^ Buck, we are informed that Hor y County will pay no part of the ^ ost of building the steel bridge at or Hars Bluff Ferry. This is a move- ,-n nent started by Mai ion, Florence, m ind Charleston counties as stated in ?pj i recent issue of the Herald. How m >ver, it is understood that they pro>osed that Horry pay her propor- W) ionate amount and help them erec' ca he bridge^ with the government aid hey will receive, but the project did al] lot go through as to Horry County. or ca WANT FEDERAL AID. - - oi' The state highway commission ha- icc 'tceived requests from Marion coun m y for federal aid in the sum of v/: '>^00,000 for the construction of a cq nidge across the Pee Dee between uj Florence and Marion counlies. Maim, Florence, Dillon, Charleston e> \nu Berkeley are interested in the* project and estimate that the bridge vill cost approximately $400,000. The av Tquest for federal aid will be p'ac jn id before the highway commis ion|cl for action. 0 at HAVE MADE MONEY. "s Many of the merchants of this county have made money during the (r last year, more money than they ever made before. The proper thing f< for them to do is to invest it in!c< more improvements of a public na- tl lure which will result in time in fi bringing them still more business. The most important way for them to spend it just now would no doubt be in providing better facilities for V taking care of the tobacco crop of I: the county. s # t FOR COLORED EMPLOYEES. o Conway Lumber Company has per ii fected the plans for the erection of c a new building on property belong- e ing- to them behind their offices, not i far from the public square, and e which is intended to take care of t about fifty coloied employees of the r mills. The General Manager, Mr. y H. W. Ambrose, has found some i difficulty in obtaining colored labor t on account of the lack of hotels or c boarding house accrhmodations for c these hands at Conway. The build- t ing will be of some size in order to t take care of this number, and it will t be started and carried to completion t as soon as possible. 1 ? CARD QF THANKS.

ATTACH TO THEM In some parts of the County ]/ there seems to be a wide spread notion that Horry's Representatives In .the Legislature are responsible for the passage of the general stock law; cr at least, that they caused Horry County to be put under that law, while there are some that place the ? blame on Senator Hal L. Buck. The Herald interviewed Messrs. W. W. Kv. . . L. Mi5hoe, as well as Seaato.* Buck, and has kept in touch with them during all the time that the bill was pending. It is a mis- K taken impression in the minds of the people that the members of the House or the . State Senator could have prevented the passage of this general law. In the Senate Mr. | Buck had Horry County exemnted from tlie law and the law then went to the House for concurrence in the 0 numerous amendments the Senate ( had made and the House refused tVm f Senate's amendments thus killing v i the amendment that Senator Buck ? | had made exempting out County. u This put the matter in a general con * I ferencc committee composed of memj^ hers of both bodies, and they re- << ' jected the exemption of Horry Conn I , ty and thus the law went through. 1 [and Horry will he subject to the t Igeneial law January 1st, 1921.

The new building' which is to be ccupied by tho Farm Implement onipany will he perhaps the largest loor space of its "kind in tho hardware business in this section of th * 5tate, as it. has a floor space measiring about 44X120 foot, running1 all he way from Third Avenue to the illey donated to the public from the >Ul Courthouse site.

ENFORCE F1UK LIMITS. One important thing in any town is the enforcement of fi?e limits within which no building- c:m bo erected unltss covered on top an 1 sides by intlamable materials. I" large cities there are whole sections composed of old buildings made of wood and while they may have escaped a destruction for fifty year* or nunc, yet whenever they do catch on lire they spread, it rapidly and sometimes nearly the whole city goes into- ruins.
