ONE BIG NUISANCE.
The movement for getting; the railroad
tracks away from the principal
, thoroughfare of Conway, when it
succeeds, will be a big thing: for Conway.
Those who will get the credit
for this improvement will have something
that will make them be reluembered
by every business man who
does business along Main Street. At
the same time .it will be appreciated
as a great achievement by the people
of the country who visit the town at
regular intervals and wish to have it
safe for them to drive teams alongMain
Street, and pass along the crossings,
and hitch their wagons and carts
as near to the main artery . of business
as they choose.
...J 1.

realizes from day to day, 'that the
trains passing along -the street have
become a nuisance. In times gone by
this made but little difference, it
lViakes a great difference now. Business
men in the offices, customers in
the stores, patients in the rooms of
doctors, guests in the hotels of the
town, all have to quit any conversation
they may be trying to have when
the trains come along; or else shout
loud enough to be heard. The trains
has upset many a business deal. It is
no uncommon thing for you to hear
men along a side street, near Main,
say in a loud voice: "Wait till the
train goes by." Many a time it has
been too late after the Arain has gone
by, for it was a long time 'going by,
and before it got by, the other man
had changed his mind; and the deal
was missed. Who is willing to wait?
Just how aggravating this is, no
man can know except one who has had
to put up with it for all these years.
Good nerves indeed are required to
oil ?"* -1 ?1 1 1

x freight train can make while trying
to pass up the grade along Main
Street. The bell is ringing; the steam
is exhausting in loud and long blasts
like a thousand steam whistles turned
loose all at cn? time; the brakes are
rattling and the journals creaking;
the wheels are grating on iron against
iron; the wooden sides of the laden
cars are bursting against each other
as if they would be torn asunder; all
of these mingle together and echo
and reecho up and down; while the
dust, and Ihe oW, and the smoke,x all
join together to make an inferno of
a somewhat different kind.
If the head men of the great system I
owning the Atlantic Coast Line had
to have their ofticds in the center of
the business block here, anywhere
on Main Street, for just one
day, this would be enough to get the
tracks away. They would be ashamed
of the fact ttiat in the face of frequent
requests and pleas put up by
us, they have not pushed the movement
forward and had the change
made long ago.
o
Pick only the ripe leaves when you
gather tobacco for the curing barns.
Could anybody ever produce a briirht
leaf from one that is green? The
leaves need to be ripe and ready for
the barn before they are picked off.
o
Tobacco is very jealous in its nature
when it comes to gathering and
curing and placing in the right condition
for selling. It will not stand
for any fooling.
LIKE WEATHEIt V ANE.
Some men are like a weather vane,
changing with every wind that blows,
while others have a fixed purpose and
stick to it forever. * Those like the
weather vrnc will never get away
from the uncertain fatening which
holds them in place, while the other
kind will accomplish something.
rrn ?-i? -. j
uu.^c wim ftie aiways turning anout
from one thing to another without
any set purpose of accomplishment in
their views, will he apt to spend their
lives in making changes as they think
for the best but which lead nowhere
except to ultimate failure.
o
Attention to detail is what produces
a good grade of tobacco that
will bring a good price regardless of
the state of the general markets.

t
Florence, S. C.?"If the tobacco
planters of South Carolina are to realtze
finally any benefits from their!
cutting of acreage this year, they
must now exert every effort on good
curing and careful culling of their
crop," says Mr. T. Benton Young, [
secretary of the South Carolina To-j
bacco Association, speaking for the i
growers, for the South Carolina Ware I
housemen's Association, and for thc|
buyers' association. "We are depend
ent this year, absolutely, on the old
line of buyers, because the inde-i
penaent buyers are unable to make j
the financial arrangements to operate.
The buyers have indicated
that they will do their best by the i
growers and pay as much money for
good tobacco as they can possibly I
pYty. But they are demanding- of the
growers that the growers shall offer
only good stuff."
Through the various associations
of the different interests of the industry,
the extension service of the
state has been interested in the situation
and is aiding in spreading the
information regarding it". Over the
signature of Dr. W. W. Lon^, director,
15,000 letters are being mailed*to
individual growers in every section
of the tobacco belt.
Two important points are stressed
in this letter, as follows:
First. It will be useless waste of
time and money to harvest the lower
"plant bed" leaves or inferior
"lugs." Of Course this does not
mean that none of the lower leaves
are desirable, but the cheap, trashy
leaves and such leaves as become
burnt would best be left in the field
for manure, so we can not hope for
them to'bring cost of curing and
handling. Some think that such
grades will not even get a "bid" on
the warehouse floor. About this we
do not know, but we do know thatsuch
goods, if sold, will only stand
??4. - ' '
out MuuMicaiiy against tne farmer
and make prices lower next season.
Second. We get from good
sources that this year it will be absolutely
necesary for the farmer to
let his tobacco get npe before
gathering. 'The green grades which
have been selling well in the past
are apt to be a drag on the market.
These grades have been exported in
the past, but the foreign market is
in such shape that you can not depen/1
on it. If the hands of "croppers"
pull some green leaves, cqll
them out from the curing before
marketing. At the end of the seaI
son, after having had them bulked
down, market thes green loaves from
all your curings.
Mr. Bright Williamson, of T)aijlington.
president of the South Car-.
| olina Tobacco Association, is maki
ing every effort possible to induce
(the companies to come into the mariket
July L9, when it opens, with aU
! buyers in all markets and taking ail
grades. He is handling this matter
through T. M. Carrington, of Washington,
t). C., president of th?;
United States Tobacco Asssociation.
Such an opening would tend to
establish proper prices, Mr. Williamson
believes.

ASSOCIATION '

The fair association wants to
I
know if the business men, the farmers
of the county, and the people In
general want to hold the county fair \
this fall. 1
There is really no reason why th<\
fair should not be held and have a
bigger success than evfer in the history
of the association; still the association
wants and must have the
support of the general public in order
to put on the 'show and make
a go of it.
! T^hcr association, as the Herald understands
it, is perfectly ready and
willing to put it on, but still it wants
to know that the fair will have the
support of the people in every line,
especially the business men and the
farmers.
The purpose of this short article is
to call out the views of al! those who
I are willing to express their views on
I the subject. Speak to Dr. Hedley,
(who is connected with the association
or write what you think and give
it to us for publication in the paper.

IS SWEETENED POISON PROFITABLE?
Clemson, College.?The use of swrot
ened poison for the boll weevil is noiii
inK new, but is nearly a quarter of a
century old, says Prof. A. F. O. >.radi,
chief entomologist, in regard to
the current discussions as to poisons.
As far back, as !XJ)K, poisoned sweats
wore employed early in the season replied
by men ns of a stick, a few drops
on each cotton plant. The ovly <!:
ference between th
those days ?and the formi'l? h - mended
at this time is in the partic;:har
materials used. Then'the pr'ncipal
formuia consisted of ' olas s
and paris green, or molasses l
wliit>? arsenic. One formula \v! ' h
-.ttracted speei: 1 attention, pro!?.- I 1v
bccnuse of i<s . very cnm plica* I
nature was made of molasses V>avis
green, white arsenic, and arsenate f
lead. All of these poisons have
senic as the active ingredient, and -.'oone
has ever been able to sc*e why
all this array of compounds.
As the early application of sweetened
t>?ison killed a certain percentage
of weevils, it appealed tomany
farmers in each state when ever
the boll weevil appeared. Ea'h
year as new territory has been invaded
by the weevil and new groupsof
farmers have become panic*
they have been inclined to nibble at
the bait on almost anyvhook that is;
throwi? out to them, but so far as
sweets are concerned there m ^o
evidence that bool weevils have boon
attracted by them. So in the couise
of 24 years sweetened poison lu s rot
gained much recognition though thei?

Stick to the'Standard ' /
Instead of any or the s:>ec: d
poisons now odvoented hv sonv , 4 o
use of calcium arsenate is stionr'vrecommended,
says Prof. Connu'i, c.lthough
calcium arsenate ha ro ?
greater arsenic content thr.n paiis \

earlier day. Poisoning in the heavi;;/

can never be depended upon to

The Old HvmnH. '
(By Frank L.'Stanton, in the Atlanta
Constitution.) ,
There's lots of music in 'em?the
humns of long ago,
And when some gray-haired brother
sings the ones I used to know
I sorter want to take a hand?I think
of days gone by?
"On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
and cast a wistful eye!"
There's lots of music in 'em?those
dear, sweet hymns of old,
With vision bright of lands of liy:ht
and shining streets of gold;
And I hear 'em ringing?singiig
where Memory dreaming stands,
"From Greenland's icy mountains to
India's coral strands."
They seem to sing forever of holieu,
sweetet days,
When the lilies of the love , of God
bloomed white in all the ways;
And I want to hear their music from
the old-time meetin's rise
Till "I can read my title clear to mansions
in the skies."
We never needed sin gin' books in
them old days?we knew
The words, the tunes of every one?
the dear old hymn l>ook through!
We didn't have no trumpets then, no
organs built for show,
We only sang to praise the Lord
"trom .whom all blessings flow."
An' so I love the good old hymns and
when my time shall come?
Before the light has left me, and my
, singing lips are dumb?
If I can hear 'em sing them, then III
pass without a sigh
To "Canaan's fair and happy land,
where my possessions lie."
