Time is one of the most valuable
assets that we have. It is easily
passed without notice.
o ?
The policy ?f ever going1 onward j
is the best policy to use in the matter
of public improvements. Stand- J
ing still we never pet any where. |
o
Prosperity never does some of us;
any good, for no matter how good :
times are thought to be, there are;
many of us who always think they
should be better.
o
The business that is efficient in
furnishing the public will succeed)
.where the other kind will go intoi
bankruptcy. The matter of service
is the real key to success. Nothing
else should be.
o
Tobacco planters should be sure j
to get a good stand of plants by |
paying pood attention to tne prcpn- i
ration and fertilizing of the plant:
bed. One necessary thing for a sue-1
cessful crop of tobacco is plenty of
good hardy plants.
o i
Farmers of this county are in better
condition than they think they
are. The low price of cotton made
many of them so blue that they
have .not tteen able to see any other
way for some time; but they are
better off than they think they are j
and will realize it.
o
The income tax is nothing more or <
less than a penalty placed upon the <
man who has been efficient and bv
paying attention to his chosen calling
or ^business has been able to accumulate
some property and by his
own efforts has built up and income
while his neighbor has done nothing
except enjoy the same protection
from the government.
o
The best minds are trained to
analyze rather than take matters as
a whole. One who is not trained as
a machinist will look over a machine
and see it as a whole, while the
man that is trained at once separates
it in his mind into its various parts
and thereby can find the trouble
that may happen to be in it.
o
DIFFERENT CONDITIONS
The idea of the free range is
contrary to the general scheme or
things in this country as it is in the
present day. In times long gone by
when the big uncultivated spaces
were only used for holding the world
together, nobody cared how many
hogs, or sheep or cattle, roamed
over them at larg^ Things are different
now and f-ist growing far
more different. Spaces are filling
un with homes and cleared fields.
Still more of the land is cleared and
placed into cultivation year by year.
o
no reduction
Last week in the State Senate,
Senator Johnson tried to get through
his bill providing a reduced license
on motor trucks used exclusively in
farming operations. By a vote or
15 to 10, the Senate continued this
bill until the next session and this
means reteat for it unless the measure
gains friends before it comes
up l.cx: t?M*\ This bill if oassed
next time will provide a much lower
iatf? of taxation on trucks used]
in fanr.'M' ir.an on trucks used In j
business enterprises.
?; o
wu,i, rruy vote
It is believed that the new county
advocates will dela" having t,h*?Ir
election until they think that timers
are better. Times are, really not
bad now. but some of the people
think that thev ave. As a man
thinks so it is with him. The advocates
of the change know that the
voters will stall at the idea of the In
creased taxes they will havo to nay
+ u~ ie <-- - ?
i ?/i nil- |II i V i ui Ht'UUnU > TJ'Olll
the rest of the family. No man,
even in t'.">e now territory, can possibly
find a good renson for wanting
to separate, but still they want to
do it.
HAS BEEN UNCERTAIN
For the past year and longer the
farmers of thi eonnty have br*on
living in uncertainty as to what
they should do in regard to theiv
fences. Some tir^e airo whe^ thr
senate refused to exempt Horry
County from the general stock law
many of them decided, and with
reason, that the uncertainty wa<
over with and that they mighl
tear down the fences if they pleasec
and proceed to plant land withom
any fence. Then the bill to put ofi
the stock law in this county was in
troduced by Senator Smith and agair
uncertainty a'ong to worn
the people at a time when thel
crops was the most interesting sub
ject in their minds.
4
Time ar.d carc :>pent on anything
makes it of greater value.
o
This makes a difference state of
affairs when a man who owns a
piece of land wants to control it
free form the free range priviligc
his neighbors may want.
o
A^ain the Legislature has undertaken
to pass an income tax law in
this State. Again they will place
on the statute books a law that will
bo a farce and can never be anything
else.
o
US*NG LETTER HEADS
The printed letter head is a sign
of modern progress. Every progressive
merchant should use them. It is
a bad sign in any business where
either a plain note head is used or one
that is stamped with a rubber stamp.
The rubber stamp containing the name
and style of business was the invention
of the cheap skate who want
ed to make something that he claimed
was just as good, and which the
writer might apply himself to each
individual letter sheet as they fell
from his pen of typewriter. All
such things are going and going fast
from even the small business house.
Since letter heads are used then
they should be on the best quality
of paper and printed in the neatest
style in order to give a fair index
of the business qualities and idea of
neatness and efficiency possessed by
the user of them.
o
. TAX ON EFFICIENCY
The imposition of an income tax.
either State or Federal, is the result
of lack of the hard work necescnw
in m'Hnr fn find a more iitST
way of raising revenue. It, is in-!
herently wrong in all of the ways
that it is assessed and collected a:
this time, and we predict that it
will not last always.
At least it should not apply to
the annual income from the labor
or professional service of the individual.
It never should have bee>
arranged that way. There would
have been some sense in taxing the I
people on all income received by (
them from savings which they have
invested. The income which a man
or woman earns each year from
wages or profession, should be tax
free and should always be. There
should never be imposed in this
world any burden of the least kind
of this nature upon the product of
individual ? effort and'self advancement.
If a man saves his money
this yeoi and next year loans it out
to his neighbor, his interest income
might be taxed, but the money that
he earns that same year from his
business should be free of all tax
by all means. There is a great difference
in the two classes of income
and instead of placing a burd
~-- ii? ? j. i 1 __ .
en un iiiu einciKiiu niun \n no nianes
money, he should he encouraged.
o
HINTS FOR SIRUP MAKERS
The necesity for cleanliness and uni
formity in makin.tr homemade cane
simn is evidenced by the fact thnt of
3,000 cans of sirup gathered from
various localities, it is found, according
to the United States Department
of Agrilcultaure, that nvjre than onethird
had sugared partially, a fewhad
sugared solid, and the sirup in
some was too thin to he classed as
sirup. Fifty-odd cans contained sirup
that had been made from frozen cane
in one can out of every ten a bee or
a wasp was found, while many of the
cans contained smaller insects. Careful
boiling to exactly the right density
and the use of a strainer when
the sirup is packed in the can will
help to elininate these difficulties.

MOKGAN TYLER TO
CEDAR SPRINGS
It was my pleasure on Feb. 25th
to take Morgan Tyler to the South
Carolina Institute for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind at Cedar Spring*.
Morgan has been totally blind sincc
birth, his parents died a few years
ago and he is now about eight years
old.
There are about 200 inmates at
this institution, and there are about
50 colored children in their separate
department. This school is under
the supervision of Mr. N. F. Walker,
who has been associated with the
institution for 72 years, his father
having started it >fhen the present
Superintendent was four years old.
Mr. Walker has a son at the head
of a like institute in Florida, also
one who is the Superintendent of a
similar school in Georgia, and hi^
third son is with him at Cedav
Springs. Mr. Walker is a most i
estoemablc man, and the success of
this institution reflects great credit
to this genius of a wonderful personality.
This institution is financed
by the State of South Carolina* paying
for board and tuition for those
children whose parents or guardians
are not able to pay for same, and
which amounts to $150.00 per year:
however all traveling expenses and
clothing are to be provided otherwise
for all who enter. No child
who is deaf, dumb or blind shouk!
miss the opportunity of taking a
course of instruction at this institution.
and if there is another ehi'd
in Horrv county who should be at
this institute I hall be pleased to u.i<e j
by influence m his behalf along th* :
line. ?C. H. Snider.

STOCK LAW.
On nage seven, in this issue, a
news item about Sill: was added or
to a stock law article, headed "Horry
Divided,'" by an error in the make ,
up, and for the benefit of those who ;
may be interested in the law we |
publish below the remainder of th?
article. The paragraph beginning,
with "Senator Clifton" should read: j:
Senator Clifton said that this ex-!j
tension would put the law enforce-1:
ment into crop planting time. This i
was to be avoided. He read figures j
from the tax receint showintr tlioll
# i- - n *",v*
value of catllo in stock law counties.
Senator Williams, of Aiken, .was i
willing to extend the time and was
agreeable to go even two years.
Senator Padgett made a final appeal
for the extension of time. <
Senator Mason, of Oconee, said that 1
if he were a poor farmer in the free j
range country he would go to work j
and not bother about free range. The j
stock law is the best thing that peo- j
pie can have forced on themselves.
Regardless of all this talk, the ]
amendments to provide the free range j
in free range townships and counties
and in the portion of Horry above de- i
scribed, were carried, and the bill sent j
back to the House, where it will have j
to come up for consideration this j
week. If the House does not agree j
to the amendments the bill will goij
to the free conference committee; andi|
until all of this is done there is noli
way for the people to know positively!!
how it will be for the balance of this i
year. i
It will hardly be possible for the1;

week's issue of the paper. i
In the meantime many of the rrec,
range people in the southern town- j
ships of this county have torn do#n I
tho wire from around their fields and i
are building pasture fences with it. j
Others have prepared land for cultivation
without any fences. Many of
them are stirred up over the matter,
and well they might be.
All attempts to change the statewide
law in other respects failed.
AFTER LICENSE EVADERS.
The Chief of Police, of Conway,
had a telegram from the Secretary 1
of the Slate Highway Commision
this week stating that on iast Monday
night,, February 28th, there was
begun a vigorous campaign against
the evaders of motor vehicle licenses!
and that the aid of the police authorities
outside the State was being
'enlisted and asking if they would
co-operate. Chief Smith an wercd
the telegram by saying lie would cooperate
in the enforcement of the
motor vehicle law. All those who
have not taken out the license and j
not display the required tag, the pro j
'visions of the law will be enforced I
| in regard to them as soon is pos-!
i sible.
