Is "legislation by impulse" becoming unpopular ???und will all the laws that go on the statute books in the near future first l>o scientifically U'fil rrl-i ry. 1 ' ' V.S..VH <11111 analyzed in me ngni of ' cold facts? Only recently a bill was before (he Iowa legislature for passage, prescribing: the length of hotel bed sheets. Legislation was even pending; in Congress?although few knew of it? which, if enacted, would pro- ( vide for (ho natioivdizntion of the , farms of the nation; would take the farms awny from their present owners and put them under the charge of a bureau composed of one farmer j one farm hand and one consumer! Of course it is improbable that this "uplift legislation" will ever pass, ( for it would be only an entering* wedge to the nationalization of all , business industries?the grocery store, the saw mill, the telephone ox- *! change and everything else. The ownership of any property, even a home, might actually become sub- ; ject to the same rule. The 1919 session of the New York ] Legislature was one of the first to ] taboo "uplift legislation" affecting that state, when a caucus of the majority party called a halt and re- j solved to protect business and prop- j erty from such so-called "legislation 1 by impulse" which was intended to , ne pushed through. The proposed , hills covered such subjects as mini- ] mum wage, health insurance for em- 1 ployees, maternity benefits, compul- ; sory education of employees at the ; expense.of the industry and the shorter day. All were clothed wi4h high- , sounding and appealing titles, but | all concealed some brand of "ism" < when put under the X-r.av. ' Savs 1 WoeV'v in a recent issue: "Under the stimulus of attacks u;>on business, the burden of socialistic experiments has beon added to the already heavy load that business has been carrying. It has been < unpopular to oppose those demands, t Many newspapers, carried along by j t the tide, have lent it their influence. |< The time for a halt hrul come and it is to the credit of the New York ( Legislature that the party caucus put | its foot down to protect business | from so-called 'up-lift' legislation." "In these days when men are j swept off their feet by appeals to the emotions, legislatures have been stampeded into passing very question- J able legislation. Those proposals are particularly inappropriate at this timo, when business is bearing so ' many burdens. The caucus report characterized the health insurance bill as "an un- i ' just invasion of the rights and prin-j ciples of both employer and employee I in violation of I ho guarantees contained in the Constitution. It also re-1 marks that the country's experiment with Government control of railroads, te'egr.' ph and telephone lines demonstrates th: t municipal ownership of public utilities would be unthc existing financial conditions of our cities precludes the thought of desirable, and that ev^ti if desirable experimenting at this time. Tho Son?b Carolina Co-operative "Live Stock Association will supply a much needed ro'ief *>nd assistance to the stock iTowor.-: of this state. For the fir t !>!"'' r> history our govern-| mo111 has seen fit ro,%,o ft* the f'n- \ uncial assistance and aid of 'lie lock I growers. Hi<* 1,'>" indeed ! 'one fight in . the p.ast. an'I sti'l i" the pvo <?n?. The majority of the h-inks <!o not consider live stock '?*0'>d col'ater >I. 'P"o few that do <?iv 1 it a"v eonsidevpl ion at all do not "v<'"<rl thoir loans ovr .~?0 pop eon' of t )io vine of th? 1 i\ o stork offered as security. Now 1|. government has at last extended a helping hand. It e;:nnot ho t?!!inn\l for not recognising the industry in the past ,as t^o venture was too risky. It would havo had to depart from its | sound huine- methods to have done j so. Thorp 11:\> at !a-t heen an act parsed I that make* i' no Mile for -i live stork ! grower to obtain very li 1 loans j on his sto^k. Although the War Pi-j nanrc Corporation, from which this .assistance can he had, doo- not recoj.?- j nize tho individual live stock frower, I il does recoenize an association of XrowQis. Tho South Carolina Co-operative Live Stock Association has horn, formed according to tho require) ents , of the laws laid down by this act. By he inf.? a me iher of this association a tfrowei i> privileged t<> receive or borrow from two-third"' to threo, fourths of the market value of Ids I live stock. The , ouey tlr fl)4,,ined| can be expended in enlavriny; the herd, fattening breeding and orderly market'nir; and, in fad. in any wa\ that applies to this particular industry. Thus the members of this associate .i tion will bring thousand* upon thousands of dollars into the si.ite. This is going to put new life into the veins of the industry instead of letting it smash on the hre/ikcrs of a demoralized market. With the assistance offered by the association the live stock industry should grow as it will bring about a condition that would eliminate the speculator and give the producer a chance to market his live stock orderly and at a time when a justifiable price o/i 11 he obtained. The grower must do his part. The I government has offered to meet him half way. If the grower g?*a*ps the opportunity that is offered him, prosperity will take the place of poverty. The exercise of good judgment by the stockmen of this state will make a landmark in its history.?Contributed.

FARMERS* SALVATION If the farmer has not yet been saved, where will he find his salvaion 7 Of course we are writing materially and not in any spiritual sense. It is plain before we begin, that iverybody is thoroughly convinced :hat the farmer has failed to find that for which he has been lookup and waiting, hardly half expectng, all this long ti?no. Ho would now complain that the prices of tho things he has to sell are too high; and the things lu4 has to >uy too high. For this reason, if no sther, he feels that he is a long way from the goal of his ambition. The salvation of the farmer has boon hard to find and is yet ha I'd to find. Many of them went through tho period of inflation, when everything he could raise would bring high prices, and yet he did not got ahead and make himself safe from the land mortgage, or the overcharges of the voney lender. Only the few farmers who were already well off when tho good times struck the country, ever <v?adc very much out of tho war-time high prices. The groat masses of the farmers of this land are just as needy as ever. Phey want better things. Thov must have them yet at some time in history if those better things can be got. W henever he can get a fair price for the Things he raises out of tho ground, then ho ought to fool thai ho has found relief. Ho will feel thai way. From di>gruntied individual^. J armors would then grow into tho most satisfied class on the pmh!? f'nv the farmer, I?y any moans make things so that ho can control the placing of his products on the markets ot" the world? Only in hat way can ho on sure that markets will not become glutted and his products go for .a song. or nothing. The only remedy fo rthings as they are, li->- in organization. In tro pooling of the cotton and tobacco raised, as money crops in this country, the farmer will find the only mean, of controlling the laws of supply and demand and the consequent lowno -s or hiirhne-;-' of price p:iid. It is to this noble end that thinkers have lately studied out the plans for co-operative selling of cotton and toU'vcco, sweet potatoes, and other things. While this plan is new in this section of the country, it is getting old in others; for in (Vilif tir.i; t ier'* haw- been co-operative o'an of selling California fruits oni ting for several ycurs. That they ire uoct slid is proven ov their continued ovi< i'..:. .. 11? I n- ' <11 I 11' !< ? that California growers arc now getiir.g ever.v year for what tlicy raise. It if ( <'i t.ain!y well for every ?rrowcr of cotton and tobacco in this <ectio.t to join i he co-op Tat i ve mar'ecti ;c a= .)ci dio. >, a:id af.or joining stay with the associations for all time to come. Things will grow better and better for the farmers the longer they stick to those things. THE HORRY HERALD. COW Many men spend about half their lives moving about- from one place to another. o Any man is doing a bad thing for himself when he denies an honest debt and will not pay it. There are cases where a man cannot pay a debt. It may be clue to his misfortune or disappointment in making some investment; but the honest man will not deny that he owes it, and he will try his bost to make terms with his creditor. The man who owes a debt I and not only cannot pay it, but he denies that he owes, it, thus deliberate ly falsifying, he does that which sooner or later will make it impossible for him to obtain any credit. What is more worse than such a condition for any man? Living in a modern community among men and women, none of whom are willing to trust him for one cent! Nobody knows how such a man feels but that man himself. He feels that he has not a friend on earth and he deserves to feel it. COMMERCE BODY WORKS WOXDKRS (Continued from First Page.) with the result that the line was romunication by telephone with the outside world is now maintained satconnected with Marion so that comisfactorily. Railroads The ransportation committee worked diligently on the matter of the removal of the iviiivoad from Main Street hut without success. After much negotiation of a fruitless smt. the committee has decided that nothing can be done except by legal means. Our understanding is that the Town Council now has taken this matter up and depends 011 the deployment of legal means to bring relief. Two or three concessions the Chamber has been able to secure from the railroad. Improved car service on the train from Chadbourn to Conway was brought by agitation begun in the Chamber of Commerce acting through the South Carolina Railroad Commission. An attractive round trip fare from Conway to Myrle Beach was also secured during the tourist season. Also an extra train per day was operated for the most of the summer. Both of these concessions were accomplished through the active co-operation of Mr. J. T. Mishoe, Agent of the company. The Chamber of Commerce has had to oppose two contemplated moves of the railroad company. The firrt was the planned con-o'-dalic-i of the express and freight offices which would mean the eliminatoin of the uptown express office. The second was the cutting down of the passenger service l>v taking off one passenger train a day. Strong orotests against both of these movements were filed by the transportation committee and the commission assures tiie Chamber that these moves will not be made without a hearing at which the town is represented. Chautauqua The. chamber assisted .actively in the securing and management of a chautauqu'i during the summer season. It is hoped that within the next two years a contract for chautaunua may be made with one of the best companies of the sort in the country and thus give the town very high class entertainment. Post of I'ice Agitation begun in the Chamber of Commerce resulted in the construction of a new post office, which I to I?r? amnlc to care for the needs of the public. River Improvement Tho matter of improvement of the Wacc.amaw River gives an pie proof of the fact that the mills of tlie gods triiml slowly. Lot us hope the rest is true and that they grind eternally fine. During the yea)' the river has beew twice inspected by engineers of the government who were quests of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has filed a prospectus with tho engineering department contending for improvement to Pi re way. The outlook f*or this improvement is good, it seems, though no certain prediction can be mode as to when improvement will be undortaken. Summer Visitors The chamber continued its service during the summer of securing rooms for tobacco buyers .and teachers at the summer school. Canning Factory The secretary had hoped to announce at ibis mooting that plans had been completed for the operation of a canning factory at Conwi-" this summer. The inquiry from parties at Waverly Mills lead nowhere, since it seemed that far more capital would be required than there was any prospect of intere. < locally. Mr. W. 0. Davis is now seI curing data from towns thn ughout I the State on operation or cunnn^ i factories and has (he matter under | discussion with local parties looking | to the establishment of a plant. Poultry Association The Horry County Poultry Asso1 ciation is a child of the Chamber of j Commerce. This organization, recently founded, is increasing its membership and proceeding along well considered lines toward the establi hment of the poultry industry in Horry on a firm bail's. Sweet Pota'ees A committee from the Chamber of Commerce has the sweet potato in (lustry under consideration as :t mean'- of fighting the boll weevil. The commi'tce will likely announce its plans at the n^\t meeting. fV>'il' i i?, sweet potatoes, and a canning factory would be a great trinity foi the town at this time. M. A. WRIGHT, Secretary.

Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co, J & \ FREIGHT RATES LOWER BY WATER Oranges For Example From Miami to Conway by Water An interesting example of tho difference in freight rates, by land and by water, is found in the case of oranges from Miami, and other points m Florida to this section. ' The express clvirge on a crate of oranges from that point bore is $1.00 or more, by railroad freight it is over one dollar. By water the charge was Ihirty-two cents per crate until recently when the rate from Georgetown here was reduced from 15 to 12 cents, the whole charge from Miami to Conway, by water, thereby becoming twenty-eight cents. This is a big difference. UMtUin.. l 11 iiwviunf.- tuilIU IIIUKU'tUt', IIHIIT lllitll this, the importance of establishing, is soon as it can be clone, the inland waterway. It will bring low freight rates to the people of this section and vvill aid most materially in keeping railroad rates down, for the railroads will have to compete as much as they 2an with the rates I>y .vater. The >nly advantage that the railroads could offer, ovev water routes, will he, as i4. is now. a quicker haul. Conway is now without the same idv?ntages that it once had in the way of transportation hy water. Now, the only steamer plying between this point and Georgetown is the Commanche. This steamer in/ike^ two trips a week to this point inder her very efficient Captain Sarvis. In times past there was the arrival of a steamer every othor day. Momentum is a tiling which deserves more study then it has ever received, even from the smartest of men. o Some men are stubborn as a mule until you begin to pull their way. Still there are some who still refuse to pull with you 110 matter which way you wish to apply the force. n The thing to do is to got started. A stone lying at the foot of the hill tends to remain inert forever. It takes some force to put it on the move. Once it gets started, it tends to go ori, and it does go on uti 1 other forces overcome those which started it. HAS NARROW I0SC APH There was an alarm of fire turned in recently from the Ardmore Hotel. The department responded ouicklv and the flames were extinguished. The fire was set by little Andrew Jones .Jr., who had locked himself in one of the closets with a few matches and proceeded to do what was to him, no doubt, a very interesting tiling, to wit, the kindling of a fire behind a curtain on one side of the closet. This was found out in time and the child was rescued with great difficulty through a window of the building.

GLASSAMSTO A1)I) A LIBRARY Will Install Tables With Carrom and Checker Boards That a modest though a well chosen library will soon i?e established by the Hut Class in its buildup in the rear of the Methodist Church is. indicated by the report on a recent Sunday of the library committee of the class. For some months a small fund has been accumulating from contributions of the members with which to purchase books. Shelves have already been put in place and several volumes donated by .J. O. Norton, member of and occasional lecturer to the class. Recently the library committee sent a representative to Columbia to invest a part of the funds on hand for books. These books were purchased, some ' when the group met, on Sund/iv. It is sixty volumes, and were in place hoped that the library will be a ' steady growth and that in the course of the next few months ample reading matter will be provided for the members. The committee plans to install one or two tables and to lay in a supply of checker and carrom boards. With this equipment on hand the 11 Lit will be kept open two or three nights a week and will be ;.i sort of social club for the members.
