' SENIOR SMITH
; GETS BOUQUET
Hap:an, Ga., March 7, 1921.
J Editor Herald:?Your paper is an
i ever welcome visitor from home. 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.

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.

were outside of the yard.
Enma Royals, a daughter of W.
H. Prince, testified to about the samel
as her sister concerning the main!
facts of the tragedy. Heard Georrre'
Prince ask Martin Faircloth where!
was his gun. She had gone out in J
the road. Morgan Todd came out
with her father's gun and said, horej
T am. Bud. shoot me. Then Todd shot I
George Prince.
The State here closed, and the de-;
fendant offered no testimony.
The arguments were then made and I
the jury retired about the time for
the noon recess last Thursday. The
jury came out about 5:00 o'clock with
a verdict of manslaughter. Sentence
was deferred until the following day.
o
BOLL WEEVIL FILMS.
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.
