It is not often that there is a real need of prosecuting anybody : _; _ e i .i _ < unucr ui? provisions 01 me /vci 01 191?, making it a criminal offense to utter and circulate any false statement or matter defamatory of another. The law provides that the statement or matter must be false or circulated with malicious intent. The uttering and circulating of a false statement tending: ^;o injure another in his reputation happens far between times, for the reason that when the person involved is of good character and known to be so by the community, there is no one found .who wishes to utter or try to circulate such a report and for the good reason that he knows everybody will know ho is a liar. Usually he is the man or woman who is really wrong and wishes to keep this concealed from the general public tjiat will become stirred up because of some report circulated in the neighborhood. They are without the good character which would protect them from slander, and they know it, but they believe that this is; ?i spr?rf?t fvnin tlio tronnval nnKtio ? ^ V L?l |7 W/HV, and they must pretend to feel hurt because their reputation has been injured. -Such laws as these do very little good on the statute books. When placed there they are employed as instruments of spite and ill will more than for the redress of 'wrong? against the State. Even should a man or woman of absolutely unquestionable good character become the victim of vilest slander, what pood has it ever done, or can ever do, to air all of this in the crowded jcourt room ? The whole crowd always hear all that is said on both sides in the controversy, and some? even many?will believe the slander they hear in the evidence; whereas, only 1he ears of a few would have ever known that such charges were made. There may be a case where . ftch a law will do good, but it is a very rare article. HAD CONDITIONS. There are nr. ny who refuse to learn the le.< -on o" thrift find independence. W.' ncv , laborers, people of all clas5-*e: are said to have had a groat era of prosperity recently. They made money, but it appears that they did not save it. On the other hand, many of them went in debt. Not satisfied with buying a few of the necessary things that they needed and formerly could not afford, they decided that they must have luxuries that they had not hron accustomed to. The result was that, banking on the fa!, e expectation that things would always remain as they were then, thoy went into debt for automobiles, pianos, victrolas, and other costly articles. In many casos they mortgaged even tho homes to pet there things. They had no ready capital to tide over a. slump and they knew it, hut did not profit by the knowledge. Now, what is the result in case of lower prices of what they have to sell? In some cases the homes may be lost as a result of the foolish way they acted. The automobile or other thing has been in use for some time without that previous knowledge and experience which would teach them how to take tare of it; and the result is they have on their hands an aljnost useless but cost'y 'article. IQ i v S".. / ta_jtrtfuwHITHmihnMtvy^r WEARING OUT. > It is better to wear out than to rust out. Take the men and women in this world who strive to do something. They act from the incentives placed in their natures at creation, and if they could not give vent to the energy which lies in them, they would as surely come to an early death by inaction as they would from overwork. When you see a man or woman who is striving with all the means they have to accomplish some great end, you nyayrealize, if you will, that it ' ^i ould be worse with them if they Te|$ressed their zeal and activities. This is the reason why they have heard it said that it is better to wear out than to rust out. MAKES CHANGES FOR HORRY CO. Short Resume of the New Laws Enacted as Affecting Our County RURAL POLICEMEN NO TRUANT MAN No Applicant Addicted to Use of Strong Drink Can Be Appointed. Loris, S. C., March 21, 1921. Editor Herald: It perhaps will be of some interest to the voters of Horry county to know just what laws were enacted at the recent session of the Legislature which affects Horry county. 1. Wo chani*ed tho laws as to the appointment of the Board of County Commissioners. They now have to file their bond of $1,000 each with the Secretary of State and arc commissioned by the Governor for a term of two years. 2. The time for paying taxes was extended until May 15, at which time the executions go into the hands of the sheriff for collection. 3. The Board of Registration here after when needed is required to visit , once in each township for the purpose of registering the women to vote. They are to get $3.00 per day for this extra work. They are . also required to file their oath of office with the Secretary of State, and will be commissioned by the Governor. 4. The commutation road tax was , reduced from $12.00 to $9.00. The ( six days for work still remains. 5. At the request of the Grand i Jury we put on three rural police- < man nrJIl K/> J-?-l I I1V.II) nnu "111 UC I VCWI I 1 I ItM UM.'II uy the County Board of Commissioners with the delegation, and who will also be required to file a bond of $1,000 each with the Secretary of i State, and get their commissions from the Governor. Under this act the sheriff will be asked to lay off the county into three rural police districts, numbering them consecutively 1, 2 and 3. Each district will have n policeman. The County IJoavd of Commissioners will reserve the i >;hl to employ these men at a salary rol to exceed $100 per month, and will also have power to discharge them when they fail in the performance of their duties, as is set forth in the Act. One feature of this law is that any person who is addicted to the habit of strong drink is not eligible to the appointment. C>. The age of consent to marry was raised from 14 to 10; that is, no person can consent to their daughter's marriage under 10 years :>i' age, and any man who marries a girl under 10 is guilty of crime and is subject to punishment by .'.oath, except by the mercy of the court. 7. The salary of the Probate Judge was not raised, as requested by the grand jury, but instead he is t*. have one-half of the marriage Coos, instead of one-fourth. S. The coroner is to get $25.00 and five cent:-; per mile for each inciuesl held instead of a salarv of $300.00, Lor is is to have a $2,500.00 school building and Wannamaker a 000 building. Green Sea is to get a $2,000 incijpase on their building. It is now unlawful during tlie ;oa.:on for 'tilling door to hoot < i to kill one while in swimming water. The school truant office1' was abolished for the whole state, a saving of $09,000. Their duties wore placed upon the trustees of each district. , Spot lights and cut-outs are not allowed on automobiles. The state appropriations bill carries $550,00Q for the equalizing. oxtension and high school fund; $150,000 for the equalizing' fund. Last year this appropriation was $140,000, <.f which II firry received something like $44,000, some counties receiving '^'i ? a-ni\f\ r\c ci in fu?fi US lILl-IC US ?" ?>'v7\/. V./ I lllC l 'I appropriated last year it seems that a large per cent of it was spent in paying touchers bonuses, instead of Riving it to'the children of the state, some teachers in Horry having received as much as $15.00 per month extra for iho entire term. 1 desire to state here Nthat if the county superintendent follows this practice this year the state will deny us this appropriation next year. I The status of the stock law has j already been given by the Herald. This is a mere summary of what we did in Columbia as to 'Horry county. ?W. A. Prince. o Not a Bit.

TO UNCLE JERKY Plea-ant Meadow, March 21.?Ed ilor Herald:?I want to thank you for a small space in the columns of the dear old Herald to reply to an article in a recent issue of your paper, by the women of Lake Swamp and Zion. I do not represent any but one little woman up on the fertile lands of Pleasant Meadow Swamp. I was indeed proud when the women of the South were given a chance to vote, especially in dear old Horvy, where I had so long desired to help the better class of men to rid our state of booze drinkers and lower class in the Legislature, where the laws which protect the virtue of our daughter's are made. Surely the women of Lake Swamp have lost their heads when they discountenance Uncle Jerry, a man who has stood the test under fire in days gone by; the only statesman that Horry has ever had, a man who has stood for true Democracy, and loyalty to his constituency, noT i only in a political way, but he proved his loyalty to his country in the war between the states, a man whom every man, woman and child should be proud of. During his forty years of political life he never once turned traitor to the cause for which he represented. I am informed that some of the leading women of Columbia called at the Senate Chamber to shake the hand of the Horry Senat r who was said to be 80 years old and yet full of activity. I desire to thank the good lady of Pauley Swamp and also Mrs. Juliet D. Grant, of Hawaii, Ga., for tho high esteem in which they hold Uncle Jerry. Thank God , there are enough of we good wrmen to hold up the hands of this dear old ! Hero and Father of the Independent Republic. ?Agricola's Daughter. n ? AGED NEGRO DIES. Alfred Gore, a colored citizen of Cool Spring, died at tho residence of his daughter, Addie Rogers, at Green Sea on March 10, 1921. He was a member of St. Peters A. M. E,. Church at Coo! Spring for a period of forty y*?ars. He was J born December 2f>, 1845, and spent his long life in hard work and in-! du.strv. He is survived by one daugh tor and nine grandchildren. (By Request.)

The debt, aem'd ing to the last annual report of former Secretary of the Treasury Houston, amount-; to $1,031,^00,001). The ambassador in a statement sa id: ' The following is my precise opinion in regard to the Amcrioan loan' to It ily and the payment of said Iloans' by Italy: ' "She must, through a revision of the accounts, ascertain the exact ! anioimt of her debt and then ask jfor a convenient period of time | within which to pay it. This cond , tion is essential; because otherwise it would bo impossible for Italv to ! rehabilitate her financial condition which is in its turn the way whereby Italy can pay her debt. "Italy would naturally ask the pre1M0THE3CS FRIEND _ _ vt V ' * 1 For Expectant Mothers Vseo By Three Generations VJhitc roil DOOKLKT on MOTHERHOOD ano tn? M3Y. met DMpriaio REGULATOR CO., DIPT. 6-0.

Like the United States, Italy entered the war with out being forced to do so oy any aggression and while the nations that had been attacked were in very difficult straits, Italy got nothing cut of the war, except her natural bouri daries, and such boundaries Italy conquered with her own military effort which culminated with the victory of Vittorio Veneto. "Italy has, therefore, a political attitude and public sentiment, which agred completely with the political attitude and public sentiment Of the United States. This I think and hope will facilitate my work here. I accepted the charge of doing this work with this understanding of the situation." The ambassador expressed confidence in the success of the efforts that are now being made to bring about a complete resumption of the formerly large and important irade relations between Italy and th* United States, particularly the Italian export trade with this country, which would be a large factor in meeting the financial obligations Italy to America. He indicated, how ever, that it would not be possible at first to apply the proceeds of the sale of Italian products imported into America directly toward the reduction of the debt to this counfvif '* ... 1 Although no intimation has come from tho treasury of. a disposition to disjv^-s the questions involved in a readjustment of the indebtedness of the allied powers to the United States, it is understood to be regard od bv the heads of the foreign embassies here as a subject that must vny soon he taken under considers tion in order that the house ways and me&ns committee and the senate committee on finance may be in possession of facts regarding the probable payment of interest on account of these foreign debts as ?-i basis for their own calculations of the amount of revenue that must be raised by tariff and internal revenue in this country to meet its budget.
