Make all Checks or Drafts payable to The Horry Herald, or H. H. Woodward, Conway, S. C. THURSDAY, SEPT. 29, 1921 ALL ARE SLAVKS. Many a wage earner has quit a Rood job where he was making- a good living, and prone to doing- nothing, simply because he took it into his bead that he had become a slave for his employer. There was nothing ever more wrong than this. Tt is contrary to fact. In one instance not long since an employee had resigned and stated as his reason that he had become nothing but a machine, subject only to the gnH i?q11 nf V>ic? Knoo K" vmii vjl 11 to caiivi vuat jl*^ did not nropose to be a machine any I longer. It is wrong to regard the service that we render to others in such a light. The employee is no worse off than the employer. The employer who is thus set up to he such an autocrat, is nothing1 but a slave to those his business serves. He must do what they say do, go when they say go, make the changes that they dictate, be nice to them when he does not feel like being nice, cut down his prices because they think he should do so, and always be at their e/vice or else ho is quicklv thrown the discard. So that the truth fs that we are all slaves, that is, if we are doing anything at all in the service of others. It has been truthfully said that the only happy life is the useful life. Take the man who does nothing and he certainly has nothing to live for. He who is spending his days in rendering faithful service to others is the happiest man yet. Those who do nothing may appear to be the happiest, but they are not so. No man knows how it feels to be out of a job until he has to go without a job for a time. Those who are willing to serve are willing to do it without stint. If he is an employer he is subpect to the will and caprice of his customers or clients, far more servicable must he be, than any underling that is working for him. Mo matter what our station is in life, matter what our station Is in life, if if it amounts to anything at all, it is a position of slavery in a sence, and can be nothing else; so that the man who is working for another and doing well and quits because he is obliged to do what the boss says, is nothing short of the one who is willing to do nothing. The willingness to serve is what determined our position in life to a great extent. It is so in all the walks of life. The greatest servers are the greatest men and women that we have today. o Obstacles will be met. They are a necessary evil in this world. They must be overcome or we will be overcome bv them. o ? ' It is true that some of us cannot stand prosperity. The many big debts made during: the inflated period proves that this if: so, Money that is spent in trying to keep up with others when we cannot afford it, is money thrown away. It should be saved against the time of need. Work never begun will never lie ended. Some men are slow about beginning and consequently slow abort finishing. Go at it and it is soon finished. o A machine is a mystery to many people simply because they do not study it. Many a man is running an automobile today and the insides of it are perfect mysteries to him. He is not up to his job, whether he is doing it for himself or for another. o How apt it is that we will overlook the most important things in our lives just because they appear to be too small!

Any man had as w* 1 have a wooden head and he clone will jt, as to imagine that he knows it all He possibly cannot learn. o A man is not always doing well ir his business when he thinks he i> ln any plant, or establishment e\e-; where the owner does not keep h thorough repair, he may have a bit sum in the bank to the credit of th< concern and may think that it is al most all clear profit, when it is reall; all needed to ?nake repairs and re place things that have been worn out The only way to know is to keep re paired and also replaced where it i; needed.

Formal declaration 5 of a truce in the senate fight over the . anti-beer bill and its search and seiz. ure clause is expected tomorrow. Sus> pension of hostilities is to last a few , weeks, according to the present out: look, or until the senate disposes of I the tax revision bill and the German, Austrian and Hungarian treaties. When the tax bill is called up tomorrow, Senator Sterling, Republican, of South Dakota, in charge of the anti-beer bill plans to give way with announcement of his understanding that the "dry" bill shall be given right of way after action on the tax measure and the treaties. Meanwhile the treasury department is counted on by dry leaders to withhold regulations permitting manufacture and physicians' prescription of boor. William J. Bryan today intervened in the beer bill fight by issuing a statement denouncing the alloged filibuster against it. ? A AliUnufnv Inr ? ininAinflr " ouul n iiiiuv>pvvi i? * i? < < v/i j Mr. Bryan who has been conferring with proponents of the bill at thn capitol, "to prevent the enforcement of a constitutional provision is about as undemocratic procedure as could he imagined, especially a constitutional provision which outlaws a criminal traffic." Mr. Bryan commended the search and seizure clause in the conference report. Search warrants for private dwellings should bo required, he said, but automobiles, he declared, should be subject to search without warrants. "To require a warrant before searching a suspected automobile," said Mr. Bryan, "would practically nullify the law. The auto could get into another county before a warrant could be secured. It is inconceivable that any dry seaator can be deceived by the mock heroics of the wets." o Japanese Deft With Each Hand.

For Tree Planting Blasting for tree planting Is best done In the fall, because at this time of the year It Is easier to catch the subsoil in dry condition. Blasting In the spring for spring planting, however. Is much better than planting In dug holes, notwithstanding the fact that the subsoil is apt to be wet or damp.

WAY, S. O., SEPT 29, 1921 amrFonlibrary has rare prize Marion.?The original grant from George III of England for the land upon which the town of Marion now .stands was donated yesterday to the Marion public library by Miss Kate Lily Blue of this city. The parchment, which has been carefully framed for a number of years, is in an excellent state of preservation and constitutes a valued acquisition to the historical relics possessed by the library. The grant was made to .Tames Godbold, the first settler in this immediate vicinity and is dated 1700. The "History of the Old Cheraws," by Bishop Gregg, has this to sav of the ...u~ 1-- ? wwvlnumo miu fiiny came to tills section: "About the time of the Welsh immigration to Pee Dee, settlements were made lower down the river, in what vas afterward Liberty precinct, now Marion district. "John Godhold was among the first who came to this region. He was an Englishman and had long been a sail-J or in the British sorvice. Though ad-l winced in years, at the time of his I arrival, such waR his enterprise and' energy that he accumulated a large property. Ho settled in *l73.r> about half a mile below the present site of Marion, being the first adventurer to that locality. "He was a member of the Church of England and died in 17^5 at the advanced age of more than 100 years in the faith of his fathers. His three sons, Jfohn, James and Thomas, received grants of land as he did from the king of England." It is the grant of land to his son, James, which has become the property of the library. History says that when a site for the court house was to be decided upon in 1708 it was first intended to put it three miles below the present site and call it Gile boro for a Revolutionary hero, Captain Hugh Giles. But Thomas Qoclbold, the son of James, offered to give four acres of land upon which to put the county building and that is why the town was built where it is. He also asked that the town be named for General Francis Marion under whom members of his family had fought during the War of the Revolution. He asked for no recognition for himself, but when the town was laid off the principal street running east and west was called Godbold in his honor. It is feared that not many of the residents here know that the beautiful public square was a; donation from one of the first landowners of this section. The old faded parchment presented to the library by Miss Blue should be of personal interest to many in the town of Marion, as James Godbold has many descendents among the !IsTh Amo iWe now oc< Each store is loade Lac Dresses and Coats, the in Horry County, and t est lines of Shoes for la< prices are the lowest, qu. everything you need, ar low it impossible for give you the same goo< fail to see our big line c prices.

With the national conference on unemployment standing adjourned until October 5, the ten sub-committees appointed at the organizing session of the conference yesterday were ready to get down to work today on a study of the various phases of the problem assigned to each with a view to recommending practical relief measures to the conference when it convenes on that dale. Hearings on unemployment statistics, to cevelop reliable data ,us to the extent and distribution of unemploy-, ment us a prerequisite to enlightened J treatment of the problem, were to be gin today before the sub-committee on statistics. Ethelbert Steuart, head of the bureau of labor statistics, was slated as the chief witness today and a number of other witnesses will be heard at their reouest. The work of the specialized, committees, which includc committees on employment agencies and registration, and on emergency measures by manufacturers in transportation, construction, mining, shipping and public works, will be carried on simultoneously with the statistical hearings j which will be conducted for a week. Following the adoption of emergency measures after reconvening, the conference again will divide into committees for the working out of permanent measures designed to hold unemployment to a minimum. Coincident with the opening of the conference. Urbain Ledoux, who attracted attention by his "auction" of unemployed on Boston common, came to Washingcon and laid before President Harding at the White House a proposal that the names of all those who doubled their wealth by war profiteering be made public. As an alternative he proposed that the president appeal to all who profited by tho war to donate 50 per cent of their wealth to an unemployment relief fund. He said the president received his suggestion with marked interest, but gave no indication that they would be resorted to for the present. o Queer Deathbed Happening#.
