Joy riding is the greatest expense that an automobile is to the owner. Where a car is kept for matters of business and when obliged to go somewhere, the upkeep is small and the fuel and oil bills are low. When the car is used for business and also for joy riding the expense runs up and it is more than some people are really able to stand if they are to do justice to their families in other respects. o INI AD 10 IT THOROUGH The man who cannot make thoroughness one of the rules of his life need not expect to succeed. No matter what his opportunities arc he will not profit from them very much, Every groat business in this country today is the result of thoroughnesson the part of somebody, perhaps ol several generations according to the age and size of the establishment Everything in nature is thorough that is, all that nature undertakes il does in a thorough manner. The lower animals, even the sma'lest insect, undertakes nothing that it wil not stick to and carry out its plai ragardless of obstacles, and if succes: is within the range of the possibilities the insects get it although thev have no brain power as nan has. Th< busy bee, the ant, the squirrels, eve; house flies and mosquitoes, all tend a valuable lesson to the boys and girl: if they will notice how thoy strive t< do what they undertake in the mo thorough manner. Boys and girl: must do the same if thoy arc t< amount to much in I hi. world. 33F 1" [even. t 4 IP ' tg New York 11" -sc/. ' -ettesX^V HAS VKRY LATEST TMie* Hovaln nnvv tins in it< omiin ment the latest machine that has been made for the setting of the type in its colums. This machine is the result of years of study. It is an object lesson to any one who will come to the Herald office aiuj, see it. The other machine used by the Herald during* the last six years sets only the body type and heads going into the paper. This new machine sets jobs for the job presses. There is a great advantage in this as the faces of the type used in printing the jobs are always new. Where the job is done from type in the cases this type has to used over and over again for each and every customer who comes to the shop. With the Herald it is now different, because with this machine we can give a newtype cast every time and it will print up fine and smooth when the other would be jagged and uneven from the worn edges of the often used type. Just remember that you cannot go anywhere in the world and see a more wonderful or more modern machine for setting type than you can look at right here in Conway in the Herald office. Daily papers have bigger presses for printing the paper, because their circulations are so much larger, but there is no paper in the world better equipped for setting up its type than the Horry Herald, because the paper has the best machine there is made. It is almost human in its performance and every reader or prospective reader is welcome to romo t<> tlio <*:"e any time and sec it at work. o This country has about gone through tho first shock of getting back to normal condition. With the highest pric.es ever known and a consequent race to see which could spend ihe most, the people reached a point from which they had to come down. The first shock of the movement enme some time There may ho others in the future, but they will be met and survived "'just as those in the past have been. PARTNERSIN CRiME WITH BOLL WEEVIL "Here is the problem, for example, of the boll weevil?the insect robber ,of wealth and murderer of crops as ever known to all history. The I method of weevil life is to remain? ten to twenty thousand of them per acre?in the fields and feeding through fall and winter on cotton stalks, and taking themselves in extra cold weather to barns, haystacks, stubble and woods. He is practically active with us here all winter and the cotton field is his habitat. ! "The first rule in boll weevil control is to get your cotton quickly picked in the fall and then turn under the cotton stalks. To destroy , the cotton stalks under the ground or - otherwise means, of course, the k i 11 ; ing of the winter weevil. But not in * one case in a thousand are we de? stroying our cotton stalks. We make . no attempt to kill the winter weevil \'o1 1 lr.?/*lW??U/?lii Un dii IMAH \*ts\ , IMIVI V, V will vyu^liUlt t l/liu nil I II II It; i ?c swear at these reproductive hoards of weevils that eat up our crops. "Now, what is the law and the morals in the case? Is it not that we ourselves become partners in crime with this robber and murderei weevil and equally guilty along with him because of the fact that wc shield and shelter him, giving him board and free housing throughout Ithe winter? As we look at the matJtcr with straight faces we must cer ! t:\inly comr to the conclusion that !i is. not a very pleasant ard edify inf tiling?this co-operating with tl:< > weevil iru-rderev."?N. L.

Lcoch, Editor of the Memphis Press Somebody once called cotton "The fabric of civilization." The title was appropriate?and because cotton is so vital to civilization, the South, in particular, and the world# general, have for weeks been concerned over the most serious financial crisis in the cotton-growing States since the Civil War. A few weeks ago the united cotton people of the nation threw up their hands and yelled "Ruin." For, right at the marketing season, cotton started a sudden and sharp decline that carried the price down to 50 per ccnt below the prevaling figure of planting time, i Committees rushed to WashingA 1 1 - 1 A* 1 * " i tun ium uppeuieu ior aici; stories oi holding movements and gin burnings fii'e.l the telegraph wires. Northern manufactures, who sell autos, shoes, pianos, pin.i and a million and one other articles in the South, suddenly saw one of the nation's greatest markets menanced by financial depression. The same men who rushed to Washington are today sorry they did so. Those who yelled "ruin" will now optimistically tell you that, in | spite of a tremendous loss, the South will "come through safely," and that the lesson it is learning will bear fruits in better financial and agricultural conditions in the future. In short, the public feeling has apparently run from abject pessimism to optimism. As for the so-called night-riding and gin-burnings, they don't exist. 1 have talked to scores of cotton men, in many southern cities, and I have yet to find a gin fire which was proven to be incendiary. In fact, cotton men claim the gin fires this year are not more numerous than in other years. During months of dry weather, numerous gin fires are not unusual. The country should forget nightriding?it exists only in the movies? but the country should study the general cotton situation, for cotton is America's greatest export crop, cotton furinshes employment to hundreds of thousands in the north, and the cotton section is one of America's chief markets for manufactured products. There are two phases to the present crisis. First the growers say I the 1920 crop cost 25 to 35 ceijts a i pound to produce? and the present ! selling price is below cost. Second, I more than 5,000,000 bales remain in i warehouses from the crops of the j ; last three years, on which millions' of dollars have been loaned, and i there is no market for this cotton. I ! These f?,000,000 bales of "holdover cotton" represent that part of the crop which is of low quality? : short fiber, stained and filled with I j trash?which American mills will not use. Germany, alone, used to 'take more than 1,000,001) bales of this yearly l'or rope, burlap and the heavy clothing of her peasants. With the German and other central I European markets Closed by war and . inability to purchase because of hack of cr.sh or credit, this cotton ! backed up on the American market. Thus the South is trying; to get rid of it.s old cotton and at the same | .time to secure a better price for its j new cotton. j The government early refused to handle the situation. The South! then set to work for itself. Out of its difficulties have arisen a number of plans for export corporations, cooperative marketing and changed agricultural conditions, which while they may not have this year's crop, promise tremendous improvement in future years. Meanwhile bankers, buyers and cotton factors declare from 00 to 75 per cent of the 11)20 crop will be held for some months and then marketed slowly, and that the South has the finances L'? carry out this proI . rill _ I i ? mram. i ney aiso expect a gradual rise in raw cotton prices and a steadily improving financial situai tion. ??? ??o A GOOD FRIEND A good friend stands by you when in need. Conway people tell how Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test. Mrs. Dora Burroughs, of Burroughs St., endorsed Doan's ten years ago and again confirms the story. Could you ask for more convincing testimony? Mrs. Burroughs gave the following statement January 5, 1910: "Doan's Kidney Pills have proved a very reliable remedy in my case. I suffered a great deal from dull, nag ging backaches and other symptoms of kidney complaint. Finally I got Doan's Kidney Pills and they relieved me of the backache, corrected the kidney action and benefitted me ! generally." On January 31, 1018, Mrs. Buri roughs said : "I take pleasure in again recommending Doan's Kidney ! Pills. Anyone who wishes to know ? the merit of Doan's should ask mc , about them. They are the only remedy that ever did me any good." Price (>0e, at all dealers. Don'l simply ask for a kidney remedy?gc: 1 >i Kidney Pi lb: - the same tW Mrs. Burroughs had.
