Farmers have plenty to do at all
seasons of the year, if they will only
do it. 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.

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

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*

i f >v the fact that 1 was ever crowded
k '\*ith work and had no help. ITe s?,;d
* if I would recommend some one no
1 would appoint him as a committee
t to help me in that work. I asked him
'? to appoint (\ H. Snider, knowing that
v he was a public spirited man, and
t '>e1ievinf that he would co-operate in
the work in harmony. I didn't one
y time think that he would undertake

d I think that ho would undertake to

if I am quite sure that there is not a

a that believes a single word of it. If

y youn/r man 1 am sure 1 am r.ot re0
sponsible for it. 1 did as much as
