H. Wood- ? *mrd, Conway, S. C. 1 i u mm y THURSDAY, FEB. 3, 1921. J c No substitute has ever been ' found for real, honest work. t 0 * The tackling of a hard job is more a question of nerve than anything *l?e. ^ ... % -?.. ?o * Sometimes we think we had when we hadn't, that we have when we actually haven't and that we do when actually we don't. o It takes no time or thought to understand the thing's that we already know; as to things we do not know, that is quite a different proposition. o We should never wait until it rains to fix a leaky roof, we muse wait until it rains in order to iind 1 out where the leak is. o Even in the time of the reccaii world war the government of this country wished that it had the same inland waterway from Boston to Ke\ West that we are asking confess to build for us now. In case of future wars the same need would arise. o It is easy for anybody to study l out a machine and then get a me- I chanic to produce it according to the inventor's ideas. But inventors have learned that it is not so easy to tell in advance how the machine will work out in actual practice. o The raising of good stock should be the great aim of Horry farmers rather than the method of raising them on the free range or in oihe. ways. We want to see the farmers make more money than ever before in stock raising and it matters no:' to us how they do it. if thoy will only do it. o ' j*- ? ? ine D-est auiLiuie ior a man iu luinain regard to important things he wishes to accomplish is to feel that final lesults do not matter iust so that he has done his everlasting best to bring- the results that he needs and wants. If he docs 1 ho best ho can and still fails he should not really care to the extent of allowing worry to take the pla?e of calm thought and the use of better judgment. o Some farmers have said that they would plant neither cotton nor tobacco this year as a money crop. We think this is a mistake on their part. They should all join the movement that is now general to cut down th'acreage of both of these crops this year and while raising plenty of supplies for home consumption, go*, in a small crop of c tton or tobacco or possibly both. It is better to have a small money crop even at a low price than to have none at all. o TAXES ARE HIGH Taxes are too high. We have often said that tax money is the mos*. :? i. _i. j#ruiitciuii5 way m which w * cur. j spend money. This is true in a sense. If the taxes are out of pro-portion, then the payment of burdensome taxes bocomes an outrage; while really it is the result of ^onv;body's lack of thought beforehand in this important department of ou government. In times pist the small farmers of this county have none paid a very high tax. At tho present t'me the** are paying higher tax^s then thev ever paid and are apparently getting the lea^t amount of borefit from the money they are paving1 out. When a smnM farmer, owning: le>r than the usual forty acres and a mule, and who is working on wages ana not even making a living on the little place, has to pay as high a^ twenty-eight dollars stat(> and -county taxes, it is time to tell the law making body that something is wrong with the asse? sments in t.hl* part of tho state, and we hope that somebody is even telling then-; now. Not long f-'irce members of the board of assessors in Conway township were having the value* of real estate in Conway and district numKnt? r\ i 1 a/1 J ~ ^ i/<^i liiiituxii M'lmcu HllU, V71U" UI the members of the beard was a* the same time a member of the town government. He had maps of every little three cornered piece of dirt within the corporate limits and when this map was spread out before the board of assessors the taxable values were raised higher thaiever before in the history of the place. We said then, as we say now, that this plan was faulty to this extent, that it raised the values o-r lo+s un'l tracts here out of proportion to the values placed on a like kind of > property in other cities and tow* of this state: and by that means it cr used us to have to pay more of the F'?ate tax than we should have had \.c pay since the last listing of real c tate for taxation. Yes?, it if> true that taxes have jone higher than they should. It is | jp to the members of the Legisla-: uve to correct the evil now. Is the I tax commission the right remedy j We have never thought that it was \ rvJ already we hear talk oi' repeal:!U; the law under which they arc uncrating. Their plan*-, do r.ot takr '?*<>. of the rascal who moans to rviule his just proportion cf the tax by failing to list what he owns Uiv* l!c:* oath. We have thought and we state here for what the idea may be ivorth, if indeed it is worth anything that the best way to tax the people is to fix the values of ar'icles h>law. A horse under this rule would >e a horse and if the law sain \ lorse should be valued fib'the lure f >f $100.00 ti en down he v.oullj ( m the list at that price rcgarcflesb >f whether he was a bone rack or u fine well bred mares. It is so in regard to degs. Why not as to other things? If a man thinks he canlot afford to own a dog when he tnows he will be as^er;sed for taxeM it the legal valuation of $5.00, then le will not own a dog. Fix the i ,'alues on land the same way, running it at so much ncr acre to lo ation and condition and have as few grades as possible; and above aM fix i higher valuation on unimp-ovel ands than on improved lands an.' bus make it to the interest of ever;, nan to improve bis land or else seP t to somebody who will work it. o "California Syrup of Figs" is Child's Best Laxative Beware! Say "California" or you may not get the genuine "California Syrup of Figs" which doctors recommend for babies and children of all ages. Nothing else clears the little bowels and liver so gently, so thoroughly. Directions on each bottle. But you must say "California." Don't be talked into an imitation fig syrup which hasn't the delicious, fruity taste or the perfect "laxative physic" action. STOCK AT LARGE MEANS DISEASE I (The State.)?The impossibility of coping with hop: cholera under conditions where stock is allowed to run at large, is stressed by W. O. Davis, Horry County demonstration agent, in an interview o nth at subject. Mr. Davis's conclusions are very pertinent in view of the fact that on January 1, the condition of free range in Horry county was succeeded by the stock law which went *+ A i I A 1 1 T _ A into eirect on mac cr_ue. jrnor ic that time in Horry county farm animals were permitted to roam at large. This condition, says Mr. Davis, has resulted in spreading- the disease of hog cholera f?*oir one j-ec tion of the county to the other. The new law, it is believed, will quickly mean the elimination of ..he di.^u-e except in isolated instances. In discussing this question Mr. Davis points out that the expense of fighting hog cholera and cattle tick, amounting to $50,000 in 1020, is borne by the entire state, despite the fact that the great bulk of the money is spent in only a few counties. "'The year of 1020 will long be remembered by Horry county farmers as the worst hog cholera year they have had for some time," said Mr. Davis. "At no time during the year has the county been free from hog cholera, and at one time 'We had outbreaks in five different sections. Numbers and numbers of farmers lost every hog they owned, not even savintr enough for seed, as they ex press it. Seventy-five per cent of the county agent's time last year was t iken up with hog cholera work, and then it was impossible for him to keep 11 p with it. During the month of June 43 applications for vaccination of hogs were on file at one time. During June and August conditions were so bad it was necessary for the state veterinarian to locate a man in the county to give his entire time to control of hog cholera and other contagious diseases. Up to this time the county agent has vaccinated 3,172 hogs, and from September 1, to December 31, v,ho local veterinarian vaccinated 2,100 hogs, making a total of 5,272 hogs for the year. "Several times during the year we were visited by veterinarians from I tho state veterinarian's office and ; the opinion was unanimous that we i would never improve the situation as | long as we had free range laws. It I is useless to attempt to control any ! disease, whether human or animal | while letting the carriers of that (lis | caso run at large. j "Hog cholera is not our only pest We still have tho cattle tick. Foi three years the federal and .state governments have been try in/.? to i'rcc the county of ticks. Free range con ditions made the work about ten time* as hard as il should have been. liver j time a cow was dipped the owner h?: to hunt the cows up in the woods nnc pen her, and, of course, the owner.4 soon objected to this and fought ticV eradication. They finally succeedec in stopping the work. "In order to control these two pests ?hog cholera and cattle tick?th< state has made appropriations for i i number of years. In >'20,000 wai i! appropriated for cattle tick eradica . tion and $80,000 for live stock sar.i tary work (hog cholera control). 'i*Ji : is a total of $50,000 for these tw.; pests alone. Tho free range coi ntie ? (about one-fourth of tho state), gc i all the tick eradication appropriation I as they are the only ones having cat tie tick:*, :.'i d ir.ey also get i>c i coiu ot t.iO h.)g choiira ;;ppi >pMii i,_ , "in .ql* i j.' tion, because they have practically al! ;* the hog cholera. "A farmer in the stock law counties would not recognize a case of hog cholera if his hogs had it. He has never had it to contend with. Yet the people in Horry county still want the free range, because they can raise stock so cheaply on the free range. Is free range cheap with it costing the state $50,000 a year? The farmers in t the free range territory do not real- ' ize what it costs, because the rest cf the state pays the most of this sum. It is an interesting question as to bow ; long the rest of the state, will con-' tinue to foot this bill."
