Many of them do not do it. 1) Advancement of the right kind comes from saving and never from reckless spending. ^ ? jJI ??o The man who wishes to carry on his work steadily and without loss of i time will make arrangements in advance to keep from being stopped. o The man who spends his wages or product of his labor before ho has earned or produced it, makes a sad iiuotanv;. By thinking: wol! of the place where \ve live and the people who live there with us, we will make it a better place in which to live. It h as heen found by investigation I that about forty-five per cent of large estates left to heirs is dissipated and disappeared in about five years. o The motto of every business house in this town should be "service to the people." We will not say but what this is actually so in regard to of them. o We are acquainted with some men and women who act as if the whole world is full of rascals. This is a good sign, no doubt, that they think all others are like themselves. o Increased production along all lines Ks what this country needs now to bring down the cost of living and give everybody a good chance in normal times to make a living. o Trust and confidence are great things in this world. Some men act in such a way that confidence in them is killed, while others act so as to gain the confidence of all other men. You can judge for yourself which is the most satisfactory man. o Conway will present a united front in efforts to get improvements on our inland waterways. This is about the firct f in1* a in < Uief/mm? nf < i c onn j 11 I* v vi i i iv. iii iin. iiiDvv'i y v/I tiii^ ncv? tion when the business men of the town were entirely together on a proposition of this kind. In union there is a chance to do something. o It has not been long since the least .bit of labor cost three or four times what it was worth, and this was mainly because those who labored failed to give value received. They would undertake to give their time at a high price and then not give that time. Loitering on the job was the rule and not the exception. Things are improving for all we see, and we must now give a full day's work for a full day's pay, if we expect to get employment. o ABOUT INL ANI) W ATKR\\ A YS. The completion of the intercoastal waterway along the Atlantic seaboard, all the way from Boston to Key West, is without doubt one of the great things that we should strive to get done as soon as possible. It is known that development is all we need to make this the greatest section of the country. The completion of this inland waterway would certainly be a great development?one of the greatest that could take place in this part of the South. As to its importance to us locally at Conway and throughout the eastern nart of our county, no one will say a word again&t it it they understand it, ami on the other hand, they will ^o t< "work for it. That this waterway is of fjreal national importance has often beei asserted and proved hy argument.* that cannot l>e answered. We remem !>er the time in the world war whei submarines were reported as beinj. off our coast. They were sinking our shipping and we were afraid Work along this coast was tied u| for once in the history of the conn try, and in a way that made itsel felt by everybody. The undersei crafts were those of Germany, ant with that country \vc were at war The situation as it was <Ieve1ope< then for a short time shows what wi need as a nation and not alone wha ve need as a purely local develop ment. Already in years gone by this mat ter has been brought,to' the attentioi of congress because it is there tha we must apply for the money that i takes to do the work and bec:ius< that body has control of the watey ways as national highways of com merce and only that body can earn out 'the plans that would result ii their improvement. Appropriation; have been recommended in the pas but went no further. Interst ma} have been started but not sufficien t^ last and brfnp? re fr' -? v came on and the attention of all be came occupied with that. The war is now over and it is the right time to bring the matter to the attention of congress and have that body so well informed on the importance and I necessity of this work that they will I put the machinery in motion that will get the work started. There are at this time some of the best farmers any country ever had i?i Simpson Creek township, but who have never been able to accomplish the best that is in them on account of the fact that they have no adequate transportation for their produce. They have no easy means of getting commercial fertilizers and other goods. The completion of the project for these people will mean increased prosperity such as they have never seen before in their lives. The benefits to Conway, as a city, cannot be overestimated. Some of the speakers at a recent meeting of the Chamber of Commerce said that the completion of the waterway would make Conway a favorite stopping place for the yachtman, the hunter and general tourist. This is no doubt so. In addition to this it would do other things for Conway and make her a more important busi ness point than any otlior in the eastern part of South Carolina, except perhaps Florence. These and many other benefits would certainly follow, both in towns and in the country districts. o??

HOGS PAY BIS MONEY Mr. Pete Wing1 of Hawk Point, Mo., made a lot of money out of his hogs. He says, " I fed them Dr. I.eGear's Hog: Prescription. It has given wonderful results in putting gains on them with less feed. They were on heavy feed for only a month; averaged a gain of 2 1 j 2 pounds daily, and were only 7 months, ten days old. when sold." Mr. Wing profited by the advice of Dr. LeGear, Graduate Veterinarian and Expert Poultry Breeder of 28 years' standinir. Dr. LeGear's Hog Prescription will put weight on your hogs also, because it expels worms, purifies the blood and conditions them so that they gain flesh on less feed. It makes no difference what ailment is prevalent among your stock or poultry, it is money in your pocket to get the proper Dr. LeGear Remedy from your dealer on a satisfaction or money back offer. Adv o ANOTHER INQUIRY. The Conway Chamber of Commerce ?s in receipt of an imiuirv from Mr. C. W. Williams, of Eustis, Florida, as to the attractions and advant ** es which Conway possesses. The Chamber of Commerce replied at length to Mr. Williams' request, giving him [ considerable data as <o the present status and future prospects of this place. 0 FROM PROBATE .JUDGE. To the Editor of the Horry Herald: I see in your issue of January 27th an article written by C. H. Snider and headed a statement, which is just as misleading as his article of January loth. Now, I want to ask the public if they ever saw the actions of any man more idiotic in a r* matter than his has been in this? To loci: up the man voluntarialiv as a lunatic, and then as soon as two regular registered physicians swore to the host of their medical knowledge he was a lunatic, then he set in and cut up all this crazy foolishness. What does he mean, can anyone tell? Was he shallow enough to think that alf lunatics had to he locked up in jail to he examined? I have had to handle all the lunatics in Horry county for the past 1 1 years and 1 am quite sure that there has not been more than one out of forty locked up hefore they were examined. Oaks was examined on the street, just as hundreds of them have heen, and locked up afterwards. I haven't the slightest idea that there is a doctor in Horry county that would swear faNelv in a lunacy proceedings, and when they write up their certificate and swear ' to it, that settles it with me, without question. I am proud to say that I haven't done r>ne single thing that Snide}* wanted me to do. ne<\'iusv I there was no law to justify it. 1 an i 'i-ked daily what part Snider had ii ? this matter; 1 only can tell them n< part at all. He reminds me of ; t cur barking up a tree that there is 1 nothing up nor never has been, fo< no other reason on earth hut to tn to fool and annoy everything aroum 1 him. Now, Sinidcr says much has no ? been brought to public notice. Tha statement is true; ho has never le } the neonle know what Or. Shadracl -ays about Masse v. hut you will go ' that in full before you arc throng] 1 with this. Now, why did Snider ge 1 rid of Oaks so suddenly? Did he ' after having him in his home fo 1 some weeks, finally manage to ge c enough mother v it together to he t pome conscious that he did actual! " hame a lunatic right in his home, tiling that no one else on earth woul ' have if tliere was any way to avoi 1 it, or did lie, when ho got that le\ * ter from Dr. Shadrack, got his eye * open to the condition as it aetuall n existed? Snider brought that lette to my office on December 28th, i I am not mistaken and read it for m< ?' and that letter gave Oaks as bad 1 name as anything could possibly h< s and Snider says the 2Xth was the da t that O ik * lrft him. A day or t.w * later 1 had need of some informatio t which that letter contained. I wei ' to Snider's office and told him - would like to see the leti r he gt aSttS5M!TBF lV^V TTFTtAT.T). OC i 1 from Shadrack. He absolutely re( fused to let me see it; he said it was i private property and I couldn't see it. > Now, wfco has ever heard of anything 1 like that, after pretending to read it for me? Would any man become suspicious of such conduct? Did he think that no one could Ret a letter from Dr. Shadrack but him? This is where he got fooled himself. I set down and wrote to Dr. Shadrack to send me a copy of the letter he had written Snider if he had one. The following is my letter to Shadrack and his reply, which is the best that I remember the same as the one: thatfche sent Snider, except the last? clau^| he did not read that, but ever^wne can see that was the secret. Conway, S. C., Jan. 13th, 1921. Dr. \V. G. Shadrack, Charlottesville, Va. ; f Dear Sir. I am seeking information concerning one Oaks Massey, who says he i has lived in your home. You will i doubtless recall that you wrote Mr. ' C. H. Snider some time in the last of December. Snider took the letter to ' my office and read it to me. As read by him the boy's reputation was nothing good. A few days later I had need of some information which it i contained and he refused to let me soe it. I am quite sure that I am entitled to the same information that you gave him, as the boy is in my custody an adjudged lunatic. If you I have a copy of the letter you sent ' him I will appreciate it very much if you will mail it to mo at onriv mid if you request it I will return it to you in ;i few* day*; If you* havfn't a I copy yioo will lrin'dly-give- me a- brief : history of this boy's reputation; good or bad. i If you will do ine this favor I would be delighted to remunerate to you at any time I could he of service ' 1 to you. I am, Dear Sir, j ours verv trulv, J. S. VAUGHT, Judge of Probate of Horry County, at Conwav, S. C. Jan. 19-21. ! J. S. Vaught, Conway, S. C. Dear Sir:?1 am sorry but have not a copy of letter written Snider, and will write you as near as I can along same lines. I hardly know how to class Oaks Massey. He is hardly insane, but unfit to be turned loose in I any community. He should be under some strict supervision. He is the biggest liar on earth, absolutely untrustworthy, but if you stay right with him, he will do a man's work, i He will sell his clothes to buy cigarettes; has done so when with me. His whole thought is to run away to. a new place. When f> or 7 years of age he would run off, not knowing or caring where he was going. He will tell anv kind of tale that leaps into his mind. He has never lived any place that he could go hack to tlie second time. You might send him to the well after water, and if vou didn't watch him, he would dip it out of the horse trough. If there is any further information you want let me know. Since he has grown uo t have con- < stantly looked for his fiivsh to be to j rape some girl. Trulv vonr?, \ G. VV. SHAT'lvACK, ' Charlotteville, Va., route 1. Now, everyone can see why Snider , got rid of Oaks so suddenly. He says j that it was on December 28th, the ! 1 same day that lie read Shadrack's let- 1 i tcr to me. Now, no one blames him j < for not keeping him in his family, after getting such a history of him j I as this, but why on earth did he not 1 1 bring him to me, and save forfeiting!! his bond, and also every moral act ! i towards me and Oaks also? Now, it can be easily seen that j when Snider abandoned the boy that the whole responsibility reverted back to me. Now, Dr. Shadrack says Oaks' whole thought is to run away *;o a new place and also says that he is unfit to be turned loose in any com tiunity. How could I, being a sworn and bonded officer, allow him to iro large with this reputation, besides being an adjudged lunatic? I was obliged in lo?k hint up again for my own protection. Oh, wl^y would :: man go deliberately into a matter that didn't concern him and cause an old county officer the unpleasantness of having* to defend himself the second time through the county paper j against the misleading pen of such j i tormentor? Me speaks of rendering service in this matter. I beg to state that lie has rendered no service whatever, hut to the contrary, has lone his utmost to block the proceedings in every way imaginable. > I In says what he has (kmc* is in lino * with the work of the local committee of the Eoard of Public Welfare. i Vow, how came Snider on that committee? Right here I fool I made 1 the mistake of my life. Oh. how I do dread to lot the noonle of Hor?M* "oimtv know what 1 a?n guilt** of. >' ' ast sunimev when Ihe Board of IW 1 Welfare ont their reprosentati'"* down, as their usual custom each * * e;?r, I told him I could not do anv* !hinj>* like iu tire to the juvenile wor-' i f >v the fact that 1 was ever crowded k '\*ith work and had no help.

I didn't one y time think that he would undertake tv? c.Miti.M- uiMMMiuuoii over tiH* entire (1 probate court like this.
