' Convenience is a great thing because
it saves the time and hence
money of the people. They are willing
to pay for convenience.
o
We do many things that we do not
want to do by force of circumstances.
Therefore we had as well perform
with as much grace as possible, it
does not pay to do otherwise.
o
There is prospect for a much bigger
town here just as soon as we
want it and provided we are willing
to make the necessary efforts to
make it grow.
o
There is always plenty of material
ana plenty ot tools witn wnicn to
work. The ability to work and execute
is the thing we need.
o
There is nothing new under ithe
sun. Of course there cannot be. The
human form is the same human form
that was made in the beginning; so
in every other living thing. The
most beautiful house, the finest work
of art ever produced, the most beautiful
creation known to man?are all
but the combinations of things that
were here before, and hence are
nothing new.
o
Nothing in this world will awaken
more interest in agriculture than the
right kind of a fair. Horry county
had a good one last week and it
will result in better crops next year,
we hope.
o
Some of the farmers have been
unable to pick out their cotton and
it has lost in weight while being left
in the fields. Other farmers could
have hired the cotton picked out but
were unwilling to pay as much as
*1 .50 per hundred fcr the work.
A PHENffMINAL CHASE.

J ? 1 1 1 llf . J
tuimieiy couiu not oe on nana Wednesday
morning at a demonstration
three miles below Conway on the
Busksville road, would like to read
about it.
Old "Bro' Fox," an older brother
and a still older sister, all old offenders
of the poultry industry of the
aforesaid vicinity, were moved simultaneously
from their lairs at G:00
a. m. by the Cook pack, supplemented
by a blue-speckled and some black
and tans of the Dozier and Legette
packs.
Instinctively these foxy old woods
folks lead off at obtuse angles. The
hounds informally detailed themselves
into three packs in order to
accommodate each <.!' the foxes.
The first one lost his foot hold four
miles from Conway on the Kates Bay
road in two hours and fifteen minutes.
The second was pulled down
near the Pauley Swamp road, two
miles from tiie starting point, iortyfive
minutes later, and the third on
the Cox's Ferry Savannahs about
thirty minutes later, all in three and
one-half hours.
The hunters saw nothing remarkable
about this triangular performance,
but didn't seem to care to guarantee
us that it could be done every
morning. W. S. McC.

Mr. Fete Wing of Hawk Point,

nogs. He says, " I fed them Dr.

given wonderful results in putting

vere on heavy feed for only a
month; averaged a gain of ? . 1|&

Mr. Wing profited by the advice of;
Dr. LeGear, Graduate Veterinarian

Dr. Le Gear's Hog Prescription
^/ill put weight 011 your hogs also,
because it expels worms, purifies
the blood and conditions them so
that they gain flesh on less feed.

THE HORRY HERALD, COB
have taken the flames into alt of the
buildings and they would have been
swept clean.
This fire could hardly have been
the result of any carelessness and
it is believed by those who have seen
it and heard the facts that it was
fired by lawless characters, trying to
carry out the plans that is being
tried in other sections of the state to
ruthlessly burn the cottqri and gin
houses and thus raise the price of
cottpp, Such actions, ara the result
of ignorance, in tl\e opinion of many,
though I of course .there is meanness
mixed with' it.
It was not believe<J that people of
this class lived in this section of the
state, but incidents Jike these prove
that they do, and the law abiding
people should make it their business
to stop it at any cost.
It is not reported that any threats
were made about the burning of this
cotton. By far the greater part of
the cotton belonged to a number of
cotton growers who had their small
crops ginned at the Toddville ginnery,
and left their cotton therein preference
to taking it home with them
for holding for better prices. Those
are the people who should not be
spited, nor be the subject of spite on
the part of any criminal. J. F. Harper,
the manager of the mercantile
business, states if there was a single
en^my of the business he does not
know it.
On Sunday, after the disaster became
known, there were hundreds of
people calling at the place to see the
charred remains. It was noticeable
that the cotton had quickly burned
to dust. As a rule bales of lint cotton
will burn rather slowely, because it is
packed tight and the air is excluded.
It is apparent that the other con
tents 01 rne Darn, consisting of* hay
and perhaps other combustible material,
was saturated with kerosene:
and it was sufficient to burn up the
cotton clean. i
By the side of the main room of
the building where the cotton was
stored there was a shed the entire
length of the building, and this shed
was divided off from the main portion
by a partition of wooden planks.
In one end of this side room the
Dodge touring car was kept. There
was also in that end an underground
gasoline tank, and ftwo drums partially
filled with gasoline. The car.
had not been run since the Wednesiay
before the fire. The two drums
i>f gasoline exploded and the flames
>hot dangerously near to the main
dwelling house. The underground
tank still had gasoline in it after the
fire. The pipe leading from the underground
tank had burned off at the
5nd.
There was a farm bell on the place
and an attempt was made to ring
this and summon help. This bell
sroke down at the first stroke,' for
?ome reason, which has not been explained
as yet. The only help were
the families living in the village.;
The buildings burned included the
lotton house, the cooper shop, the
corn barn, in which there were about
400 bushels of corn at the timejjthc
feed barn with two sheds, .and the
mule stalls and barn. In "all, five
buildings were totally destroyed.
A number of circumstnnrps nninf ,
;o an incendiary. Both of the doors
;o the building were wide open when
he fire was discovered. They were
ilosed the night before. The person
vho fired it went through fancj set
he fire after opening the doors and
smptying a quantity of kerosene on
he inflamable materials within the
wilding. A hog had been shut up
nside the shed. As the gates were
>pened, it was a question why the
log did not escape. If the fire was
strung within the gates at each end;
)f the shed, then the ho gremained in |
he middle, that being the safest'
)lace for him at that time. The fire i
>eing at both ends, he was cut off'
:ompletely and could not escape. The \
rharred remains of the hog tell the ;
;ale.
