CROWDED DOC KETS
The civil court dockets of this coun
ty are congested to a greater extent
than ever before. The same thing
cannot be said of the criminal docket.
Though there are now more cases laid
over on the criminal side than usual
in that court, yet there have been
times before when the number of
criminal cases continued from term to
term of the court were as many as
they are now, or more.
Lawyers of other bars have noticed
the crowded condition of the dockets
of the court of common pleas. They
have mentioned the fact that the
dockets in their own courts are in better
shape.
With this condition existimr and at
ten lion being directed to us in this
way it is time that steps were taken
to correct the condition and something:
done to give litigants reasonable
promptness in getting heard.
One remedy that will relieve this
congested condition is to vote for the
establishment of the county court
when the election takes pl.nce under
the act passed at the recent session
of the Legislature. The election will
be held at the same time as the general
election comes off this fa'l. If
the people vote in favor of the county
court it will make it r?ossib'?> <^
have all of these cases now encumbering
the docket disposed <>r in short
order. Those cases which cqroe within
the jurisdictional amount provided
fov tho county court can be transferred
from the court 'if common pleas
to the county court and trier! without
unreasonable delay: and cases as they
are brought after that can be disposed
of in that court.
If the county court bill is not approved
by the voters, the 1 the only
remedy is to hold special rf tlie
court of common pleas until the dockets
of that court nre cleared of the
cases, and until that is done there
will be complaint on the part of those
involved in cases that they cannot eret
their cases tried and disposed of.
It appeals to us that <he establishment
of the county court is the best
way to meot this conditio 1. It is true
that should 1he advocsitos of the new
county of Derham succeed m dismembering
the counts', tlion a portion
of the litigation that we now have to
contend with here will be gradually
taken over by the court in lhe new
county. Those v. h) are opposed to
making the new county can advance
their cause by helping to pass the
county court by means of popular
vote under the act. The great in- 1
crease in litigation is one of the thingr.
that may help to make a new county
unless steps are taken to relieve the
congested condition of the dockets at i
Conway. ,
We have it within our reach to 1
make it so that there cannot be any
i ui i/uv i ?i n mil vd.^'Muii ir
delay in the administration of justice :
here. <
o
The time will come when land in
this section of the st/ite will co a.
high as it did during the inflated period
and will remain fhat hi<rh wi h
out over going down again. Those
who happen to have land at this time J
that cost them too much, as compared ;
with prices at tho present t;me have
nothing to do hut to hold tho property 1
and they may rest assured that ir the (
course of tine they will get their
money back and also a profit. With
many, however, the hardest thimr to
he done is the holding; of the land they
bought, mid t!ii is for the reason that
they had to give mortgages on the
land for a part of the purchase money.
They cannot pay the mortgages now I
and the mortgagors will not agree to
wait.
o
The growing of strawberries again
should he encouraged. We w ant Conway
to come hack as a great herry
shipping point.
The making of good roads in this
section of the state has (lone move
than anything; else to bring' about
greater development of the seaside
resorts along the coast of Horry
L county.
o
Tho town of Conway and the county
of Horry ought to got much valuable
advertising from the visit of the State
Pi ess Association here this year. The
scribes will enjoy themselves more
4 than they ever did before at such a
meeting and they will go ljack home
( and write about it in their papers.
This is where the advertising will
come in for us.
o
In the course of time the entire
;length of coast line in this county
.twill be a big summer resort. It wiil
.not all be owned by one company or
^jone individual, but the territory is so
Enlarge that there will be many hotels
|]for the accommodation of the people
land many different companies and
I'individuals will bo interested in the
fcjdevelopment of seaside resorts here.
The coming of good nvuls to any
section of the county will in cruise the
amount of travel through that section.
This fact has been abundantly
proved by the increase of travel from
Conway to other points in the direction
of Marion, Mullins and Nichols.
o
Since the advent of the boll weevils
inventions are claimed of various
kinds for catching and trapping the
insect. There are so many things beng
offered that farmers are advised
'o go slow in buying such things with>ut
first getting information as to the
reliability of the things offered.
o
This section of South Carolina is
the coming section. Conway is the
coming spiall town of the eastern part
of the state. The possibilities here
are greater than anywhere we know
The facts bear us out in this statement.
Investigation is all we need ir
order to show that this is the placc
where money invested will bring the
best returns in time to come.
SHUN LIQUID"
FOR POISONING
A warning against liquid sprayer
attachments to cotton poisoning machinery
is issued by B. R. Coad, director
of the boll weevil laboratory
of the United States Department of
A K-rinilture. Calcium arsenate ap
plied as a dust, he points out, is the
only certain means yet found for controlling
the boll weevil and any of
fort at control by means of liquid
sprays is useless. Sprayer attachments
are, therefore, not only unnecessary
but are an added burden,
They increase the cost of the machinery
and make it more complicated
and difficult to operate. The liquid
*pray, even if it were as effective as
the dust method would be decidedly
viore expensive. It would necessitate
he use of water cars to feed the
midlines, would demand an ample
ind constant water supply which is
not available on most farms and in
.arious ways would increase the cost
>f poisoning operations. Orchardists
and others who have to conduct poisoning
operations regularly are constantly
searching- for poisons that can
be dusted instead of sprayed. Cotton
growers are very fortunate in that the
one really effective method of control
ling- the boll weevil is the dust
method and they should not waste
J me and money. Mr. Coad points
>ut, in experimenting: with the expensive
spray methods that farmers in
other lines are so constantly trying:
to get away from.
In addition to tlie foregoing' spraying"
equipment we also find on the
market many curious devices for applying
some liquid preparation, usually
containing calcium arsenate, for
Iho control of the boll weevil. Some
>f these are to be attached to plows,
others to cultivators, while still others
run independently. They are usually
provided with some exceedingly simple
form of tank with a gravity flow
>f liquid, which either drips on the
plants or is wiped on them by some
form of brushes or rags. Many such
implements are. absolutely comical,
and the only sad feature is the lact
hat some farmers are foolish enough
to purchase them. The literature advertising
these implements promises
wonderful results and the directions
giver! often call for only a small traction
of a pound of poison per acre,
which, is distributed over the plants
in a very irregular manner. To expect
boll weevil control from such
methods is absolutely absurd. The
department specialists have been attempting
boll weevil contro? with
'i(|uid applications for many years.
In these tests they use the finest
available high pressure spraying machinery,
distributing ihe 'liquid poison
>ver the plants in a mist n>rm, thus
caching absolutely evcrv part of the
lant. Furthermore, these applicaions
arc usually made :xc the rate of
!00 gallo.is of solution per acre, in
- pi t e of this these spray applications
lo not control the boll weevil, and
low can anyone expect to secure
benefit from the absurd recommendations
issued with some of the machines
now offered the farmers?

MOTHERS DAY AT POTTS BLUFF
The celebration of Mothers' Day at
Potts Bluff M. E. church was one longto
l>e remembered and was carried out
with much success. All present were
well pleased with the program, which
consisted of quotations, recitations,
tableaux and songs. The occasion was
enjoyed by'a good crowd, and it wa;
the pleasure of one of the Herald
representatives to be present and
meet some substantial friends and
form the /acquaintance of many other
excellent citizens of the community.
The occasion was thoroughly enjoyed
by all. Those who had charge of the
arrangement of the program deserve
much credit, as it undoubtedly took
lots of hard work to educate the little
tots to carry out their parts

DAVIS CASE IS IN HIGH COURT

cotton grinned. He didn't say anything
about his time. Jesse Williamson
got ahead of his mules, but didn't
do anything. He just look a stick
and waved it. I didn't think he hit
them. 1 know he didn't hit them.
Just took a stick and waved it.
Frank took his lash and tried to
drive over them and Jesse got out of
the way. If he struck the mules I
lidn't see it. That was about two
minutes before I was hit. I was
lit. I was standing there all the
time. William Graham was there
with the pitchfork all the time. Me
had been using it at the gin. He was
standing at the ginhouse at the suci.

with a board. Me did not tr?) out of
the ginhouse; stood in the driveway.
"There is a wagondrive there where
the wagons drive through. He was
under the shelter, not exactly inside
of the house, but in t!?e building at
the time it started. lie didn't do
anything with the pitchfork, onl\ they

"Williams hi. Fr-ink with a little
-vretgum stick lie picked up at the
ginhouse. He ie or had any l'?uid.
He did not go out ahead of the mules
and strike them. Williamson struck
at Frank with a stick. I don't know
whether he hit him the first time or
not, but Frank struck at him with a
whip before he struck at him. They
ran in together; all three were there
together. I can't say they were the
nes that started the row. There
wouldn't have been any if Frank had
obeyed orders. They didn't jump on
him until he jumped on them. He
umped on the ground with his whip
and went to fighting at them with his
whip. He made the first pass at
them. They were not passing at his
mules; tried to keep the mules out.
and keep him from coming in there.
Frank hit* them with a whip. He
threw the whip down when they all
went in together. He tried to hit
them with a board, but failed to get
the board, and went into them with
his open hand. Williamson ran. William
Graham had a pitchfork and he
caught William *i>y the back of the
neck and wrung the pitchfork out of
his hand. I saw all this going on
and did not have any part in it, or
make any effort to get away. I don't
know what Frank wanted to hit me
for. 1 reckon he wanted to hit everything
that got around him.
"I had nothing to do with the fight.
Hadn't spoken to Frank, and did not
attempt to go to them when they
were having the fight."

Here is a wonderful mc3s:i*'o to al!
expectant mothers. From this moment
on, cast from yoi?r mind all
dread and fear, and foel every day as
the months roll by that great freedom
' from much of tho suffering which
thousands of expectant mothers undergo,
unnecessarily. And when tho
Little Ono arrives, you can have that
moment more freo from suffering than
you have perhaps imagined. An eminent
physician, expert in this science,
has shown the way. It was he v/ho
first produced the great remedy,
"Mother's Friend." Mrs. C. J. Hart*

"With my first two children I had

"Mother's Friend" is applied externally
