MISSF" FARMERS MUST GRADE AND TIE Before Offering Their Leaf Tobacco for Sale This Year The Chamber of Commerce has procured a copy of a hill which wvis introduced and made a law at the present session of the Legislature, in relation to the grading and tying of leaf tobacco. The only way that such a law could he made effective "?." ici|uut' me payment of a license foe by .-ill warehouses that handled ungraded and untied loaf tobacco, so that the law provided a license of $5,000.00 to ho paid by any warehouse that handles ungraded and ,untied weed. Of course, no warehouse can afford to pay any such license, and each warehouse will lequire all tobacco handled by thcni to be graded and tied; and where the .farmers do not grade and tie the leaves themselves, the warehouses \vill have to provide this work to he .done and at the expense of the .growers. This means that the .growers of tobacco must he prepared this year to grade .and tie their product before they offer it on the warehouse floors. A copy of the law. as obtained by Sherwood & McMillan of the Chamber of Commerce, is published as follows.

OF J o(The following sketch of the history of this county has been written by Hon. R. B. Scarborough at the request of the teachers of the adult schools, now going on in this county in the fight against illiteracy; and it is being used by the teachers in these schools. It is interesting and instruc- ( tive reading for every subscriber of the Herald.) Horry County The .attempt of the Spanish and French people to establish colonies in what is now South Carolina, was not especially successful. Carolina was the name given the' section lying between the 31st and 36th degrees of north latitude in charter granted by Charles the First, King of England, on October 30, lf>29, to Sir Robert Heath, his attorney general. Later the name .applied to territory lying westward to the Mississinui. No permanent settlements were made under the Heath grant. His plans miscarried. The Heath Province was in 1G43 re-granted, this time by Charles the i Second to Eight Proprietors, viz: i Earl of Clarendon, the Duke of Abemarle, Lord Craven, Lord John Ashley, Sir John Carteret, Sir William Berkley and Sir John Colleton.? ,Snowden's History. The grant of these ei^ht proprietors in 1(U>3 followed practically the .former grant made to Sir Robert Heath in 1629 viz, "All that territory or tract of ground called Carolina situate, lying and being within our Dominion of America, extending from the north end of the island called! Lucke Island, which lies in the south-I ern Virginia seas, and within six and 1 thirty degrees of north latitude and i to the west as far as the South Seas, I and so southerly as far as the River Mathias which bordereth upon the coast of Florida, and within thirtyone degrees north latitude, and so west in a direct line as far as the South Sea as aforesaid." It is noted in Snowden's History that the Duke of Norfolk claimed at least a portion of the Sir Robert Heath grant, but the lord's proprietors did not recognize the claim. Settlements were made in Carolina uimui cuc luiu ^ inur.>. On January 1665, the lord's pro-; prietors entered into a contract with Sir John Ycamans, granting; permis- . sion to make settlements in tho Carolina territory. A few days later Sir John Yeamans was commissioned as Governor of Clarendon County, by which the territory from Cape Fear to the Florida line was known. In 1005 the lord's proprietors obtained mother charter from the King of Kngland extending the southern limits to 2f) decrees north latitude. Tn 1GP,9 John Locke for the lord's proprietors prepared a plan, a model of government in which tbo colony wa? to bo governed, not altogether! practical, but full of learning and statecraft. About 1 0S2 the lord's proprietors divided Carolina into three counties. Berkley, embracing Charles Town (Charleston), Colleton and Craven. The present county of Horry was within Craven county. Tn 1701 the Province was divided into sundry parishes. As late as 1700 there was only one parish in Craven county. In 1721 (Statutes at T.nrge, S. C. Vol. 3, 171), Winyaw settlement of Craven county was made a separate I n'U'icili l>\" /*?/\i i ?\f 11 n iul V I ...? VWV. ... ..

Johnson was Governor of the Province of South Carolina. Fifteen days notice of the time and survey was to be j^iven by public advertisemenf at the P ri.-h Churches. Two Surveyors were to he appointed at the price of five pounds per day. In 1734 Prince George NVinyaw in Craven County was divided. Prince Frederick covering what is now Horry County. In 1707 (Statutes at Large, Vol. 4, 266.), another Parish in Craven County was established, embracing all the land which lies between the Sea and Waccamaw River as far as the boundary line of North Carolina. We find again Statutes at Large, Vol. 4, 407, an Act March 1778, for | establishing All Saints Parish in Craven County, giving the same boundaries as the Act of 1707. N. 13. The Boundary lines between the Provinces of North and South Carolina had been settled satisfactorily before 17(57. No further change was made until after the Colonies had gained their independence, and the Provinces of South Carolina had become trie ^laie of South Carolina. The General Assembly on the lfith. day of March 1783, (Vol. 4 Statutes at Large, page 501), passed /.in Act appointing; Commissioners to divide the State "Into Counties of a convenient size, not more than 40 square miles, in order to the establishment of Courts of inferior jurisdiction, the selection of Sites and the building of Courthouses and Jails." By Act of the General Assembly of South Carolina approved March lL'th., 1785, Statutes at Large, S. C. Vol. 4. page fif>2. the District of Georgetown was divided in to Four (4) bounties: "One, to begin at corner of Winyaw County on the sea, thence along the line of said County to Wnccamaw River, thence along said Uivcr to Big Bull Creole and Great Pee Dee River to the mouth of I .it tie Pee Dee P'ver, thfMioe along Littlo Pee Dee River and Drowning Creek to Iho North Carolina Line, thence :?1 f ^i?r said lin^ to the Sea. .and thence along Co*><?t {o ho bofinning, and shall be called -.Kingston'' .

DENIED BY MEN'! ? < Going to Fire Early, Woman 1 Wwas Miser and Feared ', T* - _ ? ? .oeing icoDDed ! ' j I 1 Mm who got to the fire which 5 burned un Susan Graham, on a re- T cent Sunday morning. saw the form ? of the woman as the front room be- 1 nan to fall in. At that time it was ,< impossible for .anyone to enter the J burning1 building. < When men first got there to the house, the fire had not spread to the * front room where a fire place was lo- 1 cated, the same fire place where the 1 charred remains of the woman were < found. At that time it was clear of fire at the steps and door to this front room and one could go on tfoe porch near this room. The fire which consumed the house started over in another room , probably the first room, or only , room, contained in the ell of the house, back from the street. While the house was burning un a < pistol fired off five or six times with- , in the burning house. The heat prob- , ably caused this to take place, but no , Pvnl.'innl inn luisc lioon mnrlr* r?f vvlirwn pistol this was, or how it happened to ( ho in there. It was first told that insurance was carried on this house, and later i ?his is denied. . 1 It is stated that tho woman was wrong mentally; that she was afraid ] of being robbed all tho time; that she was a kind of miser .and one man stated that it would bo likely that somev of her money got burned up with tho house. Constantly "die talked of being robbed and expressed suspicions of those who might go near, but all this, it was said came from a disordered brain. Whether she was robbed and killed and then tho house fired to hide the evidence of a crime, is not known. Men who went first to this fire declare that in their opinion there was no foul play concerned with it. They give it as their opinion that tho old woman was crazy and probably set fire to the house. o FOR RISN'T Farm to rent near Hand, S.

Independent.) j There is one way by which a busi- I riess man's credit is improved, and I that is by a policy of consistent advertising. Bank men believe in advertising, for they know it pays. Their feeling, therefore, is that when [i merchant who is a pood advertiser applies for a loan, that a reasonable amount of K'oods, bought by him on credit, is likely to bo turned over quickly and promptly paid for, on account of his methods of keeping his poods constantly before the public. The banker would have confidence that the poods would be disposed of and turned into cash before they pot out of date or shop-worn. Discriminating buyers of every class know they can pet fresh poods from the store that advertises. The merchant who advertises seldom has shop-worn poods. And in that way advertisinp helps the merchant's credit not only with the banks but with his customers. And one is just as important as the other. - o WANTED Good man with mule and tools to farm the J. T. Proctor-Johnson-Burr.ey place in Bucks township, adjoining lands of U. J. Beverly and others.
