Its j weekly visits are appreciated and always looked forward to with pleasure, i although you seem to know so few I of my old classmates and friends, hut 1 sometimes the paper brings me the ! Sild MOWS tluil niiP of fTw?m lvio - f^WIIV j Home. Hut it will not l>e so long, j now before wo will all be reunited j at Home. | 1 believe you have always been a | true and faithful worker for our state! and dear old Horry, awl 1 pray that! you will fight the "no fcncc law" to; a fini-'h, and will stand shoulder to; shou'dor with dear old Uncle Jerry Smith, ;> man that has done, and is trying with, all his waning strength,; to do more for his county than any; one of her sons. I feel that every; true Horryite should be loyal to and i love Undo Jerry. If vou could i j the poor dumb beast, tied to a stake out on the grass, and could only get as far as the rope would reach, and' see the appealing look in the poor, creatures eyes, you would cry with, all your might for the free range' that God has given to the beasts of the fields. 1 have lived in places where the "no fence law"was in force,' and 1 have failed to see the improvement; but on the other hand, I have seen sickness and death follow its wake. I live in a town which is tho county .site of a no-fence county, and I have never seen as many widows and orphans for the size of the place,. Some of tho oldest residents say that, it was never so before the no-fence| law came, and that it was caused by the dying vegetation that God intend od tor the poor starving; animals. The! man tliat is too lazy to keep up tho fence around as much land as he can properly tend is not apt to have many to starve, and should not be allowed to dictate for those who have, when the meat of the whole world depends on the stock that is raised, and is the poor man's greatest asset. Some of the men folks may not see ia as I do, but what you have seen and know by experience you must be-< lieve, and I for one shall pray that the "no fence law" will never reach dear old Horry county. With best wishes for the welfare of Horry and all her children, I am sincerely your well wisher and friend, ?Mrs. Juliet D. Grant. o WAS SOLD OUT. The bankrupt stock of R. C. Anderson was sold out last Saturday by Ed 1.. Smith, tho trustee appointed under order of the federal court. The goods and fixtures were handled by R. O. Hanson, as auctioneer, and disposed of in lots to those who were present on Friday and Saturday to buy at this sale. The entire stock and fixtures amounted to about $1,200 at actual inventory cost.

C. p|| I WHO'caI^ES7 OUR ONLY HOPE j IS DRASTIC CUT; i With an estimated surplus of over; 0,000,000 bales of cotton on hand,! most of the foreign mills shut down and many American mills closing | I i* -* * mhii.n fiim oiiiers curtailing, tne cot-; ton jobbing trade in the north practically at a standstill, the demand for! cotton goods falling off every day,! not only in the United States but all; over the world, Europe returning cot-' ton to America because of inability of J spinners to pay for it there can be no i jdoubt that the south's only hope for the future lies in a most drastic reduction of toe cotton acreage. If over lone-half of a crop is olanted this year,' it i-' estimated that the price will drop to five cents or lowei and it may even i bo impossible to sell at any price. There i:- almost enough cotton on, "hand now to supply the world for a i year and a half. The planting of aj large crop this year means financial j ruin and disaster. South Carolina farmers should plant food and foodstuffs and be pre-' nnred to live at home next winter. There is certainly no use to plant more cotton. NEW CYLINDER USED. The second cylinder press pur-! chased by the Herald has been finally: supnliet' with oil except one or two of the parts that were broken and lost m handling by the railroad com-! pany, and last week two eftra pages ; of the issue of the paper were printed 011 it. The addition of this ponv cylinder to the Herald plant makes it possible to serve our readers and ad-! vertisers more quickly and with I greater efficiency. While the bigCranston prints the main section of the paper, the small cylinder can turn out the needed addition to the usual; run and at a faster speed. POSTOFFICE NOT TO BE MOVED FOR THE PRESENT | Owing to the fact that there is a 1 lease held by the government on the j present postoffice building, according, to a letter received by the Chamber1 of Commerce, or at least, by one of its committees, there is no movement that can succeed in moving the postoffice at present, as was asked in a petition recently circulated here and! numerously signed. -o FRIVOLOUS CHARGES. The .judge of the court last weeki instructed the jury to inquire intoj charges made to them and see if they' were trivial or done for spite on frivolous grounds. The grand jury found, no bills in a number of reports made I to them on matters which !\ad no! place in the solemn court of the state. _ o BONDSMEN SCARED. The bondsmen of J. T. Everett, under charge of asault with intent toj kill pending for several courts past,' became scared early last week and! surrendered Everett, and he was plac-| ed in jail. o DAIRYMEN'S CONVENTION DARLINGTON, MARCH 29-30 The program for the Dairymen's Convention which will be held at Darlington, March 29-30, in connection with the South Carolina Dairy and Cattle Show has been erranged and will be of interest to cattle men and farmers.

The Pastime has written to the United States Department of Agriculture for the use of the two films, made up in story form, showing the method of poisoning the boll weevil. There Is no telling just now when the theatre will be able to obtain these films, but the management hopes to have them in the near futuv.. and the showing of them will be advertised, so the farmers and others interested in this work may see the show. CARRIES (JUN TO SEE GIRL It developed in the testimony last week in the trial of Morgan Todd for killing George Prince that one of the | witnesses had gone to, the home of W. H. Prince to see one of the girls, and that,he had carried his shot gun along with him, which he leaned up in the corner. This witness could only say that he had carried the gun there so that if he should need it he would; have it. There was no other reason for him to give. He was not involved in the racket which resulted in a death, and took no part in the matter afterwards. Thi". show*? what a condition of affairs prow.'I in that section of this county lying near Red Bluff. Such a condition can be broken up only by punishing those who make th*> carrying of guns necessary, and by trying to improve the morals of those who 'ive there. ???_??O 1 " - ? TRIED LAST WEDNESDAY.
