CHESTNUT SENDS
THE LONG LIST
Each Case is Thoroughly Investigated
and If Meritless
Thrown Out
The magistrate court at Conway
turns in a large quota of cases for trial
in the criminal court of this county
at each session. This time is no exception.
for there is a remarkably long
list of cases sent up by Judge Chestnut,
considering the short interval of
time that passed away since the last
term of the criminal court was held.
They are usually cases of merit.,
The magistrate court at Conway i
makes a thorough examination of
every charge brought before it on a
warrant before sending the case up to
be disposed of by the court of higher
jurisdiction. If there is no merit in
the accusation it is thrown out and
never sees the higher court roster.
The list which was sent in to the
clerk of the court of general sessions
last week, follows:
The State vs. D. C. Johnson, disposing
of property under lion.
The State vs. H S. Odoin, violation
of liquor law.
The State vs. Ned and Mary Sarvis,
violation of liquor law.
The State vs. Jesse Strickland et al.
violation of liquor law.
The State vs. John Stroud and
Hicks Shelley, violation of liquor law.
The State vs. Richard C. Cook, nonsupport.
The State vs. Jack Bessant, perjury.
The State vs. C. W. Johnson, breach
of trust.
The State vs. Noah Skipper, selling
R. S. under lien and false pretenses.
The State vs. John R. Mishoe, disposing
of property under lien.
The State vs. Adolphus Small, statutory
rape.
The State vs. Kellev Jones, violation

Questions Answered
President Stone, of the Kentucky
Burley Tobacco Growers' Association,
has answered the questionnaire sent
out by the Greenville, N. C., tobacco
board of trade in its efforts to discredit
co-operative marketing in North
Carolina. Saying that these questions
are easy to answer, President Stone
has sent the following to headquarters
of the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative
Association at Raleigh, N. C.:
1. \\ hat per cent of the Kentucky
crop delivered to the association has
been sold by the association ?
Answer?Fifty per cent.
2. What per ?cent of the tobacco
sold was the best tobacco delivered to
the association?
Answer?Leaving out the green
grades, the tobacco sold was not above
the average of what we still have on
hand. This question will he answered
more fully below.
3. What per cent of the tobacco
now in the hands of the association
is common tobacco?
Answer?There is approximately 20
per cent of the tobacco we have on
hand unsold which is common tobacco.
4. What per cent of the lf)21 crop
of Burley tobacco that has been delivered
to the association is still in
the hands of the association unsold?
Answer?Same as No. 1.
f>. When will the association sell
this tobacco that is still in the hands
of the association?
Answer?We sold 5,000,000 pounds
of our re-dried tobacco last week, and
judging from the demand we have for
it, it will all be sold in tho next sixty
days.
G. When will the association pay
the farmer in full for his 1!)21 crop
of Burley tobacco?
Answer?Soon as all the toliacco is
sold in an orderly and profitable way.
7. When will the association be
able to tell the Kentucky farmer what
his 1921 crop of tobacco averaged?
Answer?As soon as all the tobacco
is sold.
8. What per cent of the value
fixed on the Kentucky tobacco did the?
association advance the* farmer?
Answer?Approximately 35 per
uent in cash on the delivery of his
crop to our receiving plants.
9. Does the association require
4,. ,1^1;.,,... ..ii ,vf
\ uu L" urn vri tiii *'i ,nnu vunc?v\ w
crop at one time, or can you deliver
it one load at a time?
Answer-The grower can deliver it
all at one time, or one load at a time,
to suit his convenience.
10. Is the association li,*il>le to von
in case the tobacco you deliver to
thorn damages before it is sold or redried
?
Answer?No, when the grower delivers
his tobacco to the association
he is issued a receipt showing the
number of pounds of each grade he
has delivered and the identity of each
'aii's tobacco is lost from that time
on and each grower owns his pro r.ata
part in the total number of pounds
received by the association of the
grades delivered by the grower, if any
tobacco is damaged in any grade all
of the growers in the association who
owns any part of that grade stands
hat damage pro rata.
11. When will the Kentucky farmer
know what it has cost him to sell
his tobacco through the association?
Answer?As soon as all the 1921
rop has been sold and the final distribution
nvide. However, we have
thoroughly demonstrated to the satisfaction
of our members that the excuses
of our first year's operation
wiP not be as much as the grower
in the past paid in actual warehouse
fees to sell his crop over the loose
> t floors. Up to April 1, 1922, by
which time all of our receiving plants
had been closed, and the largest part
of ouv expense of operation had been
paid, it cost -10 cents and 1 mill per
too pounds for actual operation expenses.
And this operation expense
includes all receiving plants manage
1 * - " 1 ?? I w\?? L'O 1 '1 -
nout. including common uunu,
; ries of graders and general office expense,
including salaries, but does n< t
include the cost to the farmer in payment
for the real properties which
ire being used for receiving plants.
This will he about 1 per cent per
pound per year.
12. What pei* cent does the association
agree to advance the North
Carolina farmer on his tobacco when
delivered ?
Answer?This, no doubt, will be decided
by the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative
Association of Virginia,
North and South Carolina in connection
with tobacco representatives of
the banks furnishing money for the
advance.
13. What per cent did the contracts
signed by the Kentucky farmer
agree to advance?
Answer?There was no agreement
in the contracts of the Hurley Tobacco
Growers' Co-operative Association
agreeing to furnish any particular
amount, but the amount to be advanced
was decided by the oTiccrs of
the association who represented the
members of the association and expert
tobacco men representing the
banks who agree to furnish the money.
14.?Who places the value on the
tobacco delivered to the association?
Answer?Answer in Question 13.
15. Does the farmer see his tobacco
sold ?
Answer?No, unless he wants to.
The Hurley Association is not doing
% ' l
anything1 under cover ana any member
has a right to any information in
regard to what the association is
doing.
1C>. Can the farmer refuse to accept
the price the association sells his
tobacco at?
Answer?No, the members select
the directors in their respective districts
in whom they have confidence,
and those directors direct the policy
of the association. You might add
to the answer of this question, "What
could the farmer do under the old
auction system if he did not accept
the price he got on public sale?"

THE HORRY HERALD, CON
CHINA BERRIES
BREED WEEVILS
Discovery Made by S. H. Harrelson
Near Green
Sea
| ALL STAGES DEVELOPMENT
China Trees Are Being Cut
Down on All Farms
Where Found
I Mr. S. H. Han-el son, a progressive
farmer of Green Se.a township, has
found a new harboring place for boll
weevils when he recently discovered
; that the berries on a china tree were
filled with a lot of weevil s from the
I young grub up to the fully developed
j pest, ready to fly.
After making this discovery a few
days ago Mr. Harrelson was at the
home of a relative, L. W. Andcivon,
near Gurley, where there are four
chin.a trees. During a conversation
with Mr. Anderson they decided to
examine the chine berries still hanging
upon these china trees and without
a single exception the berries on
all the trees were full of the weevils.
These two places are about twelve
miles apart and Mr. Harrelson believes
that in all weevil sections the
berries on these trees will be found to
ho infested with the weevils. Mr.
Harrelson is well acquainted with the
appearance of the weevil in all of its
stages of development. He is not
mistaken as to these found in the
china berries being real boll weevils.
These china trees are quit ecommon in
this section of South Carolina. They
have been grown as shade trees about
the home of Horry county people
from time out of memory. Of course,
those trees are not the originators
of this post. At places where the boll
weevil has spread precautions have
to bo taken, such as cleaning up the
trash on the hedge rows, and the
burning of rough places of woods
near the cotton fields. It is a fortunate
discovery that the weevils may
be harbored by means of the berries
on the trees, for without that knowledge,
even in the face of the strictest
precaution in other ways a crop of
weevils might be produced from these
trees.
Mr. Harrelson at once destroyed the
china trees on his place and it is
supposed that Mr. Anderson will do
the same with the trees on his farm.
Other farmers who read this article
may find the same thing to be true,
but may not find any weevils in case
the pest has not spread to their farms.
If they are found, the only thing to
do is to destroy the trees. The berries
show signs where they have been
punctured when the eggs were doubt?
less deposited from which these wee'
vils came.
Mr. Harrelson says he might have
been fooled as to the nature of this
' insect if those found had been limit'
ed to the grub stage, but they were
in all stages of growth.
HORRY NATIVE
DIES IN FLORIDA
Moses W. Todd, a native born negro
of Horry county, died at the Florida
East Coast Hospital, in St. Augustine,

Todd was the owner of real estate
in this county at the time of his death.
Years ago he went from this state to
Florida, where he established himself
in business by honest dealings and industry.
He acquired a considerable
estate there before his death.

I NEXT DOSE CALOMEL
MAY SALIVATE YOU
It Is Mercury, Quicksilver, Shocks
Liver and Attacks Your
Hones
Calomel salivation is horrible. It
swells the tongue, loosens the teeth
ana starts rheumatism. There's no
reason why a person should take sickening1,
salivating* calomel when a few
cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone?a perfect substitute for
tvilomel. It is a pleasant vegetable
IUiuitl which will start your liver just
as surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and cannot salivate.
Calomel is a dangerous drug, besides
it may make you feel weak,
sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't;
lose a day's work. Take a spoonful;
of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and (
you will wake up feeling great. No
salts necessary. Your druggist says
if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone
acts better than treacherous calomel
your money is waiting for you.?Adv.
