Already the people of this county
are beginning to remember the old
sorry fences as a thing of the past.
Many farmers realize that it is a
fact that in many sections of the
county there were practically no
fences about the cultivated fields
for many years before the general
stock law was introduced.

" SLANDEROUS STATEMENTS.
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.

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.

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.

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

which is in its turn the way whereby
Italy can pay her debt.

ferred nation's treatment, i. e., Itaiy
would ask that, in case of a cancel
lation or partial remittance of debi
to any other nation, the same treatment
be granted her. 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. (
