RURAL POLICE DOING GOOQ Breaking up Stills and Taking Offenders to The Courts LAW IN FULL~AS PASSED BY LEGISLATURE Policemen Have to Make Mileage Every Day and Report to Board The activities of the three rural policemen now performing their duties in Horry county has resulted in the arrest and trial of a number of offenders against the law. It is true that the magistrates and their constables have done their duty to the best of their ability in view of the very small salary paid to them as peace officers. The rural policemen i have fixed salaries justifying the i spending of their entire time in these ; duties, and under the law and tho i regulations of the County Board they , must make mileage every day in the! discharge of their duties throughout tne districts lor which they are ap- i pointed, and they have to make daily i reports to the County Hoard of llorry county. Whiskey stills are being broken up, the drunk and disorderly are being arrested and made to pay fines, and cach day the people are finding out the great value of the peace officers who are paid to be constantly on the job and who are proving that they j are willing to perform their full du-! ties. It is therefore of interest for the public to read the act of the Gen-1 era! Assembly, so they will understand the provisions of the law under which the policemen are acting. The law in full follows: "An Act to provide for Rural Policemen in Horry County. "Section 1.?He it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: Immediately after the annrovnl of this Act hv I ho fov?>r nor the County Commissioners of Horry county, upon tho approval <>f the majority of the members of the General Assembly of the said county, shall appoint from resident voters of said county, not more than three ablebodicd men of irood character, and known as men not addicted to tho use of alcoholic liquors, who shall he known as County Policemen, and whose term of office shall be for one year, subject, however, to removal by the County Commissioners'.

Be produced On Farm Increased transportation costs and lessened returns from the products they have to sell will compel thousands of American farmers to grow more* of their own food, in the opinion of officials of the United State.* , Department of Agriculture. These transportation costs will prevent ship ments of the more moderate-priced fresh fruits and vegetables which arc purchased by the growers of single crops or specialties for use in their own homes, and the lack of a market for special products in turn wil? be a blow to the buying capacity of the growers of those specialties. Can Not Pay Freight on Water. "The American farmer is not going to be able this year to pay freight on water," said a department official. "Water makes up a large part of freesh fruits and vegetables. The answer is that he must grow his own table food. He must also [ study the possibilities of substitution. This applies to vegetables, fruits, poultry, eggs, and dairy prod nets which must be transferred from commercial channels to home consumption if they arc to come within the reach of the average farmer's family. "specialized farming has created conditions of which comparatively few persons are aware. The grain' farmer in many instances buys even his potatoes and green vegetables? the fruit farmer buys his dairy prod ucts; and even the man who raises milk for creamery, condensary, or cheese factory is likely to send his cream or milk away, feed the skim milk or whey to the calves, and not make his own butter. This year, just u. s ? The same st built into U into U. S. 'I t un Uniti GEO. J. HOLL1DAY, N. B. ALLSBROOK, S. P. HAWKS, Conwa | ^^Hg=S3 , I rAY S 0., JUWB9, 1921 els far as possible for him to alter his system in a single season, the department officials advise that he &et back to the old plan which wa> aptly described as 'living at home.' j liiis means not so much remaining j on the farm as it does deriving ever;, practicable product for consumption from the farm. "The average American farmer knows how to raise other crops than those on which he specializes, but it lias seemed good business, or at lea expedient, to devote his energies t > very few or even a single cash crop and buy his necessities, just as i done in other specialized industries. The grain farmer is perfectly capable of raising his own potatoes, his green garden stuff, and melons, tomatoes and other garden fruits, to take the place of orchard fruits which in many parts of the country have been killed by the late freezes. If the farmer has a piece of really good garden ground he can add materially to the variety and wholesomeness of the farm food supply with scarcely any expenditure except for seeds, and seeds, fortunately, are lower this spring than for several years. Poultry Most Important Moat Supply The same may be said of poultry. With increased freight rates this year the oonr.nl |/1 IIIV lf?tl meat supply will come out of his poultry yard, cither in eggs or in tabic chickcns and other fowls. Poultry is the quickest meat supply to produce, and the farmer will do well to build up a small flock as rapidi; as possible. The increased freight rates on butter and eggs, together with the farm money shortage duo to the disappointing returns from lasi year's crops, will make it advisable for many farmers' wives to return Co the butter-making art.which they learned as girls from their mothers and which have boo largely discontinued as farmers became specialists.
