What is that beautiful little hedge'

the rest room ?
o !
Many of us act the wrong thing
at the wrong time, and never find
it out until it is too late. It is
human nature to make mistakes.
o
How delightful it is when we can
find it possible to lay all our mistakes
to somebody else! And this
is human nature, too.
o
Conway is ranked as being among
the few small towns that are beauti-J
ful. Let's make it still more that
way.
o
The railroad still runs on Main
street, but will it always. TV;
railroad company would find it much
to their advantage to have it somewhere
else.
o
Horry county ham should become
known as a great delicacy on all
the markets of this country. Farmers
and live stock raisers can make
it so.
* o
Farmers had better do nothing
rather than planting their whole
crop in cotton. There is always too
much cotton to supply the demands
of the world.
o
Some landlords advise the pirating
bf no cotton at all this year, but
mnv l?r> vntlmv fnv Tim -
tcr way is for all planters to cut
clown their average about half. We
need some money crop, you know.
o
The subject of the stock law and
the free glass is something that refuses
to be put down. The matter
is settled for all time to come and
we all know it, yet we still see and
hear it discussed every day.
Help the band 1 <?ys in getting
their park fixed up. When you add
to the beauty and convenience of
your town you are helping yourself
along with it. Never forget that.

Now farmers are bragging about
the fine pastures they are making,
Later on they will show with pride
the fine stock they have in them.
FIELD DAY ON
APRIL EIGHTH
Perhaps the Largest Gathering
Ever Held Here of
Kind
PRIZES OFFERED
CREATES INTERESl
Events for the Days Carefully
Chosen?Concert Band
Will Take Part.
Indications are that Friday an
Saturday, April 8th and f)th, wi
bring to Conway the largest gathei
ing of teachers and puoils of th
schools "of the county that has eve
been assembled here. On these tw
days will be held the athletic an
oratorical contest participated in b
representatives of schools through
out the county. Prior to the wa
this event was an annual event o
considerable importance in scho<
circles. 1 he plan to receive the.-'
events has met with general favo
among teachers, pupils and patron
of the schools, and the outlook i
bright for the forthcoming event;
The committee in charge of th
contests has arranged a prograi
?f activities embracing examination
of some of the principal studies a
the class room and athletic event;
which will give to every boy ;m
jgirl in the county the opportunit
to exhibit his or her physic?
power. The events have been caro
.fully chosen by a competent commit
{tee with the result that Ih^ve wil
<he no contest which will produce unnecessary
physical strain.
Those who have attended these
meeting* in the past will testify to
the thrill which comes from wit|
nessing the play of supple muscles
I. in clern limbed young bodies, as
!they move with the crack of the
* pistol, into the spectacular one hundred
vard dash, or as they speed
bird-like, r.vor the hurdles in the
two hundred and twenty yard event
No one who has witnessed the pole
vault will ever forget the classic I
grace with which adolescent competitors
rush toward the bar, lightly
balancing their bamboo pole, and
then skim through the air across
the bar, some ten or twelve feet
from the ground.
Jo the victors will go the spoils.
The 'committee in charge has arranged
an attractive collection of
j prizes for first and second places
in the athletic contests and handsomely
embossed ribbons will be
j awarded to the winners in the literary
competition.
An attractive feature of the two
days session will be the exhibits of
the work of the schools. It is known
that many of the schools oi
the county have spent considera
bio time in preparation of these ex
hibits, and they will doubtless prove
interesting to the public.
In keeping with the present day
program of conservation of bird life,
there will be prizes offered for the
best bird house made by a pupil of
any school of the county and ex
liihited during the coming meet.
The Conway Concert Band, under
the matchless leadership of Conductor
Shell, will enliven the occasion
with patriotic and popular aires.
Any teacher or pupil desiring; any
further information about these contests
should write at once to Supt.
M. J. Bullock for a copy of the rules
governing same.
JAMES HTRTCE
IS CORRECTED
For Errors Found in His Recent
Article on Free
Range
JEREMIAH SMITH
CLEARS THE RECORD
No man in better Position to
Give True Facts of Free
Range HistoryCon
way, S. C., March 28. 1921.
Editor Herald:?
1 notice an article in the News
J r-% ^
ami courier ot the 22nd inst., written
by Mr. James Henry Rice on the
subject of "Free Range" and its history
as to Horry County.
I will thank you Tor a small space
in your valuable paper to rail his
attention to some facts which lie
fails to recognize in his article.
Mr. Rice was in error when ho
says that the fir.it stock law was
pa-sed in 1878. The fir;t \ct in re
lation to this law was parsed in 1S81
(or possibly 1882). The writer was
there as a member of the House
from this county, and while 1 do
not remember the author the i ill.
I know that it was championed by
Hon. E. I> Murray, a *''>un:; Attorney
from Anderson county.
Mr. Rice is again in error when
he asserts that no county was exempt
under the first Act. The conn
tv of Horry was exempted under this
I Act. The Lumber river, Little Pee
I Dee river. Mull creek. Princess creok
land the Waccamaw river were de
clave'1 to l?e lawful fences.
1 have been a resident of this
county all of my life of eighty years,
and 1 have no knowledge of the
campaign to which Mr. Rice refers
'land in which Hon, J? JV Scarborough
'' made a personal fight to enact thi
! stock law for Horrv countv. 1 dr
i emember ouite well, however, that
an election was he'd several years
I att'o in which our peop'e "otcd about
I nine to one in favor of free ran pre.
f 11 is likewise well kno.vu that Mr.
^ Scarborough served in tho Senate

In fmhjfizi'vr Mr. rl. 11. 0 >vei r.u

v,e?rleel s 1o stMte that Mr. O'ivev wa:
careful to ret a favorable election h
f (ieorrvetotvn before he attempte(
to p:'\ve them the stock law. In otho
\r words, he rcoft'ni'/od th.e democrati<
principles when dealing with his owi
n^oplo, and >et, lie dared to "hut
in" and become a nartv to thrustim
this measure upon the people o
another comity ap;amst their ex
d pressed will Is this what ou
II friend Ivi^e calls "moral courajre o
the highest order?" Ts this th
e mitvhty David who "fought Goliat!

(1 makes in his article is when he fail

" county was dominated by autocrnti

r ritrht of suffrage in the settlenien
|S of* our own economic affairs.
8 By this action both stock law ad
3* vacates and free rangers were dif

Lo the expressed will of the people !
Mr. Kice says that 1 "should have
been in better company."
If that be true, then when oui
Revolutionary ancestors were fight
Ing at Bunker Hill and enduring the
hardships at Valley Forge, in ordc:
o establish a system of govern men 1
by the people, of the people an;'
for the people, they should have
been in better company. If I am ir
bai company now, 1 was a traitor
when fighting for the same principles
as a Confederate soldier. Our
boys who sacrificed their lives in
thwarting Germany's effort to force
her autocracy upon the balance of
the world, and thus made possible
a Democracy for the peoples of all
nations, were likewise in bad company.
If that be true, then let us'
take down from our decorated walls
the portraits of Washington, Lee
and Woodjow Wilson, and substitute
those of King George, Sherman and
Kaiser Bill.
No, I would not be surprised if
a natural-horn idiot or a raging
maniac could not see any issue in
that last Horry campaign but the
"free range." But when a man of
I the intellectual calibre of James
Henry Rice fails to recognize that!
the time-honored principle of local
self-trovernment was involved, his]
position is too mysterious for my
comprehension.

NOTICE TO TEAC HERS AND
TRUSTEES.
About half of the schools received
".nd spent their Rural Graded and ExIt
'2nsinn money before Christmas tlv
vmain?ng schools have .just been unified
by card that their monev fron*
hese funds has been sent to this cf
'ice by the State Superintendent o
'.'ducat'on. These cards have been
misunderstood in many ca es, beau
e, since there was absolutely n
'oubt that this money would come
bo County Board financed the
schools to the amount thai; it Knew
'bat each school would receive from
>no or the other of these funds, and
the money was, in most cases, spent
before Christmas, a'ong with the lo:al
funds of the district.
According to present indicationthe
State Superintendent of Education
believes that he will only have
sufficient money to pay about SO per
ent of the Equalizing money asked
j ror by each school in the State. The
(other 20 per cent will undoubtedly be
taken care of by the next Legislature
as there can be no fight next year or?
the so-called "bonus" for teachers,
though there was no such thing as a
bonus last year. One-fourth of the
loney in some schools comes from
this source, in others, one-half, and
still in theirs, more than threefourths.
The teacher will receive,
this year, all of the local taxes that
are paid, and all of the Rural Graded
or Extension money, as the pay warrants
come in. Besides this they
will receive approximately 80 per
cent of the Equalising money asked
for in June. However I am now ami
shall continue advancing to the teach
ers as far as safe business principals
and ability to secure the money
will permit me to do. This advance
will be taken care of by the Equalizing
money.
The Equalizing schools will not be
allowed any incidental money fro;:
the regular school funds (includ'nr
the first local tax of S mills) or statf
aid as has been the case heretofore.

Superintendents did their best to get
incidental money included in the ap
propriation for Equalling Aid, but
the legislators this year made it plaitthat
they were only appropriating
money for salaries. Equalziing
schools that have had incidental expanses
this year will have to make
arrangements to pay these amount*
from sources out-ide of those recjuir-'

TREASURE ISLAND"
APRIL 4
The feature which is booked at the
Pastime for Monday, April 4, is one
of the strongest drawing cards ever
produced in moving pictures.
The title of it is "Treasure Island,"
by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Among the greatest novels ever
written, is this story which will go
down among the ages to come, as
it is now, a master work of fiction,
but told with such reality of expression
and nicety of coloring that
no one could doubt it being true,
though strange and wonderful.
Do you like adventure stories?'
No? Then you are missing a lot,
aren't you ? 1
Remember the thrills you got
when you first read "Treasure Island"?
How you couldn't put the
book down, but feverishly turned page j
after page, following climax upon j
climax breathlessly until you had
finished ? And then wished for
more ? ,
Well you can get the same thrills? |
or perhaps even more of them?from i
Maurice Tourneur's production of
"Treasure Island."
A wonderful cast?Shirley Mason,'

Lon Chaney, Bull Montana, Charles J
Ogle, Wilton Taylor and others interpret
the famous characters of |
Jife.
Some time ago the film exchange
had promised this wondor picture at
the Pastime, but made a mistake in
routing it and it did not come, bu!>
the theatre had a big crowd ou
hand that night who wished to sec it.

D. F. Sawyer Now Running
Grocerv on New
, Plan.
Tho new grocery store in the Jen
kins building, on the corner of Laurel
Street and 3rd Avenue, is now in operation
under the name of the Casli
& Carry Store. D. F. Sawyer is the
I manager.
| The store is being conducted under
the plan recently started by several
leading groceries in the cities and
towns, whereby nothing but cash is
used in the trade and the customers
carry off with them what they buy.
There is no delivery expense to be
considered in the cost of doing business
and the idea is to pass this saving
on to the consuming public.
The store was formerly occupied
by the Wiristead Furniture Store. Before
the new grocery was opened for
business this store was thoroughly
overhauled as to inside fixtures, new
shelves provided and the paint brush
liberally applied.
The store is fitted out with modern
cases and fixtures, and with the new
and varied stock of fancy groceries
just opened up on display the store
presents a very handsome apearance
on a prominent corner of the business
section.
