LEGISLATION BY I.MPl LSE.
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.

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

(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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.
The cement work at the city hall
has been extended so as to make a
hard surface from the street to the
