Some of the farmers, we notice,
have saved their money while times
were good and are now putting their
savings in new dwellings or large additions
to the present ones. We are
glad to see this.

This county has raised a great
quantity of corn this year but still
it is not enough. Farmers cpr.not
have too much in the way of feed
croDs.

Some men we know make too little
of their own town and community.
They do not realize that this place
where they live is a part of the great
country of the United States, if
they did they would speak in higher
terms of it and would do more tc
build it up.

J I " COST OF JOY
An accident is just as apt to happen
while on a joy ride as it i.s when
you arc driving your car on business.
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.

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.

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.

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

from which they had to come down.

others in the future, but they will

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

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

|WANCIAL CRISIS
IN COTTON STATES
%
Writer Interprets Situation
Arising in the Recent
Price Decline.
By E. T. 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.

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."

RURAL POLICEMEN
NEEDED IN COUNTY
If the grand jury thinks Horry
county is in need of rural policemen,
then it must be so. It might be well
at this time to refer to the recommendation
of the grand jury at the
last term of the court, which we find
reads as follows in regard to this
subject:
"0. The grand jury desires especially
to call attention to what apI
