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. ^

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.

"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. The trade
\nocted a report of -10 per cent or
elow on the condition at the timo.
vhen the government report showed
2.2 per cent, or2.2 per cent more
han the trade expected, or an increase
f 113,S14 bales within five minutes
I' trading, tho price broke 200 points,
loss of $10 per hale, or a total loss
if $('<">,M70.000 on the cotton crop of
he South.
"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."

10RE ACREAGE"
IS BAD POLICY
Larger Acreage of Cotton Under
Weevil Conditions May
Increase Disaster
Columbia. 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.

tho shooting was the result of that;
and not as the result of any fight
