Wood ward, Conway. S. C. THURSDAY, MAR, 2. 1922 There is no more sin and evil doing among the movie actors and ac :o;res tlvan there is in any other class ot people, or profession in this country. Among all of the various classes of people in this country there are those who commit crime and lead anything1 oxcejj"' moral lives. The ch.iricter of ?* ach individual in any class is what bou*k. be looked at and not the slips , by the few in iiving uprightly j rr-aking clo/m and wholesome rec- j ortlr of their lives. T 3 stars of lilnidom are bettor , lmov/n than the most distinguished ( people <?f some of the other profes- | sions and occupations. They are known on the screen all over the , world. When there is something hap- | pens like the Arhuckle case or the mysterious murder of William Des- | Tnond Taylor, the whole world knows , "it and kr.ows it in connection with , -any of its favorites who happened ] to be connected with it in the slightest degree. For this reason it is that the mere . fact t)v\t Mabel Xovmand visited the ^deceased man, Taylor, just before he was shot has caused her name to be bandied about ike a feather picked j up by the wind. Whether she had , anything to do in bringing about his death or not the results to her are j \he same; because she was known /.ill , ?nver the world and it draws atten- , tion to her at this time when she , wants anything else but attention. It , has affected her so that she has col-!; lapsed and is in seclusion and she is , no longer the happy young miss that | she was, full of life and bubbling ] over with vitality. , A few days ago we read with hor- , ror of the threatened impeachment of | a governor of one of the states on , account of the charges brought by a ( woman. The Legislature has decided . to leave it to the courts to handle the < man who is in one of the highest po- , sitions of honor and trust. They will; ( let it alone. Now this fact does not t cause us to think that all governors 1 are bad. We read in the newspapers . of crime committed by preachers. ] Wo know these particular ones are , toad, but we would not condemn all j on account of these. So it is with all )f the professions. Doctors and law- . vers are tried in the courts for various crimes, .and they, with bankers .and brokers have to stand and take the music in the divorce courts of this country; but they arc not all bad. s We will have to al ow the s;ime f thing in tbe matter of the moving 1 picture profes ion. While some of * them go wrong and never <-r*t right .t,v ,.in it doe> not follow that they are } a'I Had and they must not lie con- 1 <lemned as a whole on account of such ' things as the Arbu kl case and the a 'Taylor murder, no for any of the I1 "various other uirv thiners that have come out about their lives in Holly- ^ wood, Calif. ^ o 1! \S MAN Y TRIALS t The court of \V. H. Chestnut. majris- o irate, held here in Conway has had o an ever-increasing number of trials a tlurinjr the past several years. At o the present time there i < a case for f about every day in the week, and for some days there are several. Years t ago the magistrate court at Conway t had about one real trial a month, the v average was not more than that in c the years when the place was filled c by J. S. Vaught or J. N. Jenrette or c .Dr. Newton Sweet; and still further i Sack in the history of the town there ( vs a: not an average of a trial for each ( three months of the year when the justice on the bench was G. F. Mur Ji'ell. Times have changed since then and "while population has increased, the inclination to contend over legal questions has also increased, especially with the increase of lawyers at the bar. In those times there were three lawyers at the bar, some of the time four, and never more than five; while 01U the present time we have fifteen lawyers practicing at Conway. In the matter of lawyers Conway n'C; ts any place of its size that we know of at the present time. The v' wn has more lawyers than Georgev > a, where there are seven, and more than Marion, where there are ?.cn. ' 'oing hack to the magistrate court r- Conway, this court has become is good a place as any we know : in ring eloquence. At times the < <>r arguments is sufficient to ' "i fc ; r* with business in other rooms <w iho courthouse, and the lawyers who plead cases there are in e.urnest ; shown by the well prepared argui its that they often make. Usually one side or the other will ?uir 1 a jury, and it is not often t n.ii the parties will let the justice sit the arbiter of both the law and the i act.--. Often it is a hard job to obtain a jury of the full number of six men. Business men hate to quit their tores and take a scat at the courthouse, where they know they will be kept all day listening at contradic' ' tory testimony and the pleas of attorneys. They shun this as they would a sickness, and the excuses put up ;xt times to keep away from this duty are surprising. o The long time of neglect of the public square was broken last week, when the force from the road building were put to plowing up the land. The square was turned with plows and a sign put up warning the people to stay off the plowed ground and use the walk which was made in front of the building more than a year ago, but which has never been used because it was nearer to talk a walk across the square. o "LIVE AT HOME" Clemson College. March 2.?In a recent extension circular 01 tne a, and M. College of Texas making farm suggestions for 11*22 are found the following paragraphs which every farmer should read. The live-athome doctrine is the same as that preached over and over by the extension service, but it cannot he preached too often for there are still many converts to be made. "The growing of sufficient food products for the needs of the family is one of the vital problems on the farm. This may be accompanied, tc a large extent, by planting fall, winter and spring gardens large enough Lo produce vegetables for at least two meals each day during the growing season as well as a sufficient supply to meet the requirements for canning and drying for the yearly noed.^ >f the family. A home orchard should 1)0 grown that will furnish fruit eithei fresh canned, dried or preserved a? ,\ part of each meal. There should be at least fifty good hens to supply meat and eggs for family consumption; one or more dairy cows, capable of supplying the necessary amount )f milk ami butter and at least three hogs to furnish meat and lard for the year's supply. Where practicamc wheat, oats and rye should be sowr is clover crops, winter pasturage, feed for live stock and for market, while such feed crops as corn, grain, sorghum and hay should he grown foi the same feeds, as well as ultimate marketing through live stock." "It is recognizee! that with the system of distribution and marketing now in vogue, we are producing i greater volume of certain crops thai we are able to market at profitable prices. However, this does not necessarily mean that these products coulci not be grown more economically 01 that the quality cannot be improved It is doubtful whether we will evei eceive a price for staple farm crops <uch as corn and cotton, sufficienth ligh to insure a profit to the farmei aIio. with his individual labor car mly cultivate from twenty to thirt> teres, producing probably fifteen bushes of grain and about one-third of a )ale of cotton to the acre; conseiiiently we should direct our energies toward increased acre production ather than tilling or managing large Acreages. That acre production can )0 substantially increased without naterially adding to the cost of plantng and cultivating has been success*ul!y demonstrated." balanced Farming and Good Business Demand Cotton Acreage Reducl ion After setting forth these and other uggestions and recommendations, the ircu'ar concludes with the following regarding cotton acreage reducion: "Thi< program is not a plea for the eduction in the cotton acreage but f the farmer doubts the advisability f this program he has on'y to con1111 the recent break in the cotton irices, following the September Iro ort of the government.

"It should he remembered tluit here was sufficient acreage planted o cotton in 1021 "to have produced t 12,000,000 hale crop under normal :onditipns. If a 2.2 per cent increase :ould afTect the price $10 per halo mdently, if a normal crop had beer produced, we would have seen 1021 otton sold at possibly less than hall >f what it is selling1 for today." o LEAVING FARMS nearly a half dozen instomces ii this section of the county, it is re ported that share-croppers and ten ant farmers have sudden y ot'-'-ied l< quit the farm and en^ape in some thin^ else.

March 2.?Convinced, they say, that any increase in cotton acreage this year would be absolutely ruinous to the state, officials of the South Carolina division of the American Cotton Association has issued a statement setting forth the facts in the situation as they see them, and urging every interest in South Carolina to unite in an effort to hold the 1 acreage down, at least to that of 1921. A further reduction would be strongly advisable the association says, four ! major reasons are given by the association why the acreage should not be increased and it says there are numerous minor reasons, but the four ' principal ones are: "First?An increase in cotton acreage would cheapen all collateral held by Southern banks. ?< O .1 I T I I 11 ! ' oevunu.? timer 0011 weevu conditions an increase in acreage means an increase in possible disaster by the ' boll weevil. "Third.?An increase in cotton acre1 age means a decrease in food ami feed crops. Let's make the Southern f.urm self-sustaining before we again undertake to raise a surplus of cotton. "Fourth.?After bearing the frunt ' of deflation neither our bankers, merchants nor farmers are in a position ' to finance a large crop. Under existing conditions we ought not to run the ri^k of a crop failure and thus embarrass banks, merchants and farmers. P'ant only such crops as can be financed with comparative ease." The association in its statement takes the view that while "a large 1 acreage this year would not by any ' means insure a large crop, it would ' certainly very g-e.-.tly depress the " price for the r.o\1 eight or nine months anyway. If we overproduce ' prices will be ruinous, if we overplant and the boll weevil repeats her 1021 performance, ruin is certain, either way you look at it, our only salvation 1 is in a very small acreage." 1 The association says that it feels 't ? to be its duty to sound this note of warning to the farmers ef the state I and it reminds them that "it is better to be safe than sorry." Dr. J. B. Johnson of Rock Hill, i i r t r*..: i i presmriu, ijouis i. uiikmi im vice president and manager of the association, said recently that they had received letters from bankers, merchants and farmers in every section of the state urging that every step he taken to prevent an increased acreage with the disaster that it would almost certainly bring. o : HOUSE IS SHOT AT GALLIVANTS, < A man named Brooks shot the ( ho u of.Tim Todd eight or nine times 1 a *. < ' \ 'day n:ght.
