Last month the homo demonstration agent of this county urged every person to cull out of the flock the poor producers. Many of our people took this advice and will save money this winter in feed bills. Now is the time to establish for yourselves a standard breed of chickens, a breed in which you will find a real pleasure in accomplishment of certain definite objectives. Too long our farm flocks have been bred without any care and too often it is nothing in particular, just a mongrel flock yo mixed that we ourselves cannot J vvu^iiiw cm,y HI me III 1^111(11 Uiotltl. Such a flock 'loos not pay. Each year it grows weaker. South Carolina does not nearly produce enough chickens and eggs for its own use. We get large supplies from Tennessee and North Carolina. We have tho market but not the production. Why not produce for market? We purpose to make a beginning Along this line this fall. Wo are organizing by communities into poultry associations. The members of this association will all have one breed of chickens. It is desirable for every association in the county to have the same breed. This will standardize production. It will make marketing easier and more profitable. 11 will open the way for county organization when the nood demands. It is not our purpose to go into this on any great or expensive scale, but we do ? expect to lay strong and firm foun* dm ions by beginning with a few of ^ w v Win* w f.*A / <AIAirMvirjUAinrI< ?.

Men and women who toil, either physically or mentally, use up energy. wnen they overwork thoy use up more energy, and sometimes the blood gets in a run-flown condition. Without rest the blood cannot get back to normal, so that it becomes clogged with waste matter from over-exertion. The clogged blood virtually withers the body. The strained looks on pale faces, the thin, bloodless arms, the sunken cheeks and necks, the deadtired feeling, are the results of stale blood depriving the system of lifegiving oxygen. Workers go to the drug store and get Gude's Pepto-Mangan when they feel weak and run down. They take it in either the liquid or the tablet form. That makes the blood rich and red and drives out the poisons. Lifegiviny? oxygen, carried b" the little rod cells, renews the strength and builds up the entire system.

Get the BUCK l ord Dealer t THE HORRY HERALD, 00WW COURT M AKING SLOW PROGRESS Only Two Cases Disposed Of { by Tuesday Night at Adjournment. FULL DOCKETS , FACE LAWYERS Attendance in Town Larger \] Than Usual---Not Like Criminal Courts. The court of common plen? opened here lust Monday with Hon. Frank B. Gary as the presiding judge. He ^ was here at the criminal term sev- * eral weeks ago. 1 The court went to work facing one | one of the largest rosters of cases I v ever prepared for trial by the ('on li way bar. There were more than half } a hundred cases printed in this list, . and most of the attorneys realized ' from the beginning that it would be ^ hopeless to try to dispose of all of , them. j The cause of the congestion is to ^ be found in the fact that there was delay in holding courts and trying causes in the war time and follow- ' ing the war there was the influenza 1 which twice stalked through the land. On account of the flu the courts ] were put off several times, and lastly, ! but not least, following all of this. : alter both the war and the influenza 1 wore over and gone, there was one 1 civil court fixed with a number of cases for trial, and tho atorneys were 1 all cither sick or out of place and 1 none were tried at that time. The ! court fell down and there has been a struggle ever since to get num- 1 hers of cases on the roster for trial, but then there is no time in which to try them. ( There were not as many people in ' town as usually comes when there is a criminal term of court on hand. Civil court demands less crowds al ways. But there were more people here than at ordinary times and there was more business transacted by merchants and busines men during' the days of the week than have passed by. The first case called was that of John T. Floyd vs. Wm. Page, to recover the possession of a tract of land in Gallivants Ferry Township, near where the defendant now lives. There was a motion argued to strike out certain parts of the answer of the defendant. This was disposed ot first thing*. OAiUfuC The complaint alleged uiwi-Hg other things that Nancy Klovd had tl\is tract of land laid off to her for dower and that she had sold her dower in this land to Wm. Page; that she died in 11)20 and the land then revolted to .John T. Floyd, who owned the land .ill of the time, subject to the said dower right of Nancy ; Floyd; that the dowei right was ior life only, so that the death of Nancy : Floyd the land wont back lo John i T. Floyd. < The court decided the motion by < striking out certain allegations vhiei. 1 stated in effect that John T.

William Page, the defendant then j testified, saying ho was 77 years old. ] Told of the family history as related j to this land; Nancy Floyd was his sis- ; ter; her husband, John Lemuel Floyd i died of measles in the Civil W.ur. Witness went and built a house of), small size with a clay chimney about 1861 and he lived there with his sis- , ter when the plaintiff was born. In , 1862 witness had to go to the war 1 and took his sister and nephew to witnesse's father's. When he returned . he took back his sister and her child, j John T. Floyd and moved into the old home of John L. Floyd and took c.'ire ( of his sister and her son until the , son married. Plaintitf started to live i with his mother but had family fusses ; and John L.

That we cull attention of the people and the state and national governments to the fact that a smaller class of people, which is already paid in greater proportion than tiny other class of labor and representing but a small proportion of the people of the United States, is s* advantageously p'aced by circumstances as to enforce its demands or to hold up the progress and life of our nation and cause destruction of property; that this power is fraught with dancer both to lifr?- to . rind property where a few men have the absolute power to still the wheels of commerce and to bring destruction and starvation to 95,000,000 of our people; that it is the place of the government and within its functions to cause immediate and adequate relief under these circumstances. "Whereas the laoor unions, who are employees and own no stock or part of the capital in the railroads, which arc the principal utilities of this country, have called a strike whereby transportation will he stopped unless active measures are tak en at once, we call upon the government to ask the people of othc avocations to come to the relief of* the situation immediately. "We believe that a proper advancement of wages can be brought about by the gradual shifting of employee-" from one occupation where wages ai"? low to other occupations where wages arc more remunerative.

HUGHES REGIES, | BRIDGE MATTER Annonrinn nr ^rnnl Ponn n<\ - r ' s'v" w * ? vmi ? '.\ \\j \j i Last Sunday's Columbia State. I have been requested to reply to j the article evidently eminating from the State Highway Department and appearing on the front pa Re of Sunday's State. 1 reluctantly do so for the reason that I know that the public, 1 iko myself, must be heartily tired of this discussion. The Pee Dee Bridge Commission has rejected every attempt made by the department, aided by the federal bureau, to force us to build the bridge where the law did not contemplate and where the commission did not locate or desire it. Thev promised us on May 29, at a meeting in Florence, that if we would locate the bridge they would endeavor to build it where we wanted it. Four months and a half rolled by and neither the highway department nor the government made any survey looking toward locating the bridge where the commission desired it built. From information that we received from Washington in September that this had ?mt '"'ou ('one and would not he done, but that our money was beinu' spent for the purpose of bolster-1 ing up the location made by the de-J partment's engineers last spring and which was rejected, the authorities ofl ^ i ? i 1 ? 1 I Florence ami Marion counties cutuiing that they would dismiss any further dealings with the highway department and bureau of federal aid. A meeting was there f re he!d at Florenoe some time in September and it was unanimously derided that Florence and Marion counties would proceed to build the bridge without any assistance frt-m the department or thr jvovernment; and i' w.as so announced. The highway department requested! the ron mi ^ ion to meet witu ther'l engineers la^t Saturday at Florence | This was done as a matter or respect to the srovernment mi'vin'or wh.o was ] to make a special report. His report | defended the former l.ieeti'm by the I ' eat and nlviitted other im- j possible locati >ns nil of which would ! bankrupt these two c:>untie-' ta hi iU i maintain. A ereat deal has been so id about the estimated cost madcl by the ejoveyument. It i1' ^uflicient to viy that this county entered into, a f? leral aid project with the highway department over Little Pee Dee River and thr t they estimated then th/>t it would co^t *55,000 and be built in a year. It has cost us over $100,000 and ;t took around three years to complete a dam built out of sand and is regarded by many a^- a1most worthless. It is evident to the public, therefore, just why we do not care to enter into any more estimated contracts as we did in that c.ase. It1 was also stated in that article that Florence and Marion would build a ( low water bridge. this is not u m-. They are planning a bridge some 1 eight feet above any water known to j the river. The low water ro,ad, how-1 ever. will he a spillway for extreme freshets for a part of its length and , will interrupt traffic possibly thirtysi" hours per annum. It will cost $100,000 more to save Uvs one day nor year and these counties do not tlv'-'k i< >,-">rth iMOO.OOO to do this, j Mr. McNary, tho bureau's best engineer, according to the article, stated that he had recommended this in his report as being the best solution of tho whole matter but that the chief of the bureau had eliminated it, as Federal "id would not bo available for such a purpose. It was admitted by them, however, that just such a road was being built over the Wateree "River but that this would not do for us. 1 desire to say in closing this matter that it is tho intention of Flor (Mice .and Marion counties to build this dam and bridge at an estimated cost of $150,000 and that it is our intention to begin the work in a very short time. It is our oninion that this is a free country and that our counties can build a bridge where we please, so long as we furnish the money and that the highway department and federal bureau have no right, and we think the public will concede this, to force us to build it where they want it in order to save their reputations, as is claimed. The bridge will be built in a much shorter time and a great deal more efficiently and economically by the counties than can be done by the department, because of the necessary red tape in connection therewith. It should be stated also that it is our intention to make this a toll bridge. This conclusion was reached for the reason that there is such a great outcry about taxes and the serious crisis and depression that is confronting us that it was thought wise to make ft a toll structure so that it would not be necessary to add any additional burdens to out people. The toll v. ill be a small price and it has been calculated that the fees would pay for and maintain the bridge and dam. It was thought also that inasmuch as the bridge would he used by the state that by making it a toll bridge that then all the state would help to pay for and maintain it. These counties, therefore, will build this bridge to convince everyone that they .are right and to start a timely movement for economy and moon sense in road and bridge construction in South Carolina. These engineers, we fei?r, will. ?f let alone, break the state and federal government. It is time to stop it. We only a.^k that we be let alone by the de? partment in building our bridge and road. E.
