Man has made ?11 that he uses in
this world out of the new materials
that he found on tlie earth in the beginning.
Primeval man did not 'ind Modern
conveniences awaiting him ready to
his hands. Even the things he had to
subsist upon were in the raw or growing
state and lie not only had to procure
them from the forest or the sea,
but he had to learn how to prepare
them for his digestive organs or consume
them in the raw.
He had to eat with his lingers the
best lie could. There were no pots
ready made in which ho could cook,
no eatinu utensils to make ;:ho process
of eating easy.
His clothes consisted first of the
leaves of tho fig tree and not oven
Mother Eve had any better way to
hide her nakedness as she came into
the world. Man .ind woman they
were created, according to the Holy
Bible, and as man and woman they
had to make shift for themselves, even
within the Garden of Eden itself.
There were no ready-made houses
in which man might dwell.. Here is
to be found the origin of the words
"cave man." At first man's only
shelter was the sido of a rock or the
side of a tree, until ho discovered ;i
cave in which ho mifht dwoll until
such time as ho might devise some
scheme for producing a better dwellin,a*
for himself.
There were no short cuts to anything
then. There was no rendin"' or
writing, no spelling or any arithmetic.
Schools did not exist, neither were
the** though* of as rece- sary.
But man began at once to use the
"brain with .which he had been endowed.
Mr studied and thought, and
slowly he experimented. In the 001 vse
of time man has produced /ill of the
wonderful improvements thrt we see
in this day, and he has done it all
from the raw materials found in the
eaj'th, on the earth and in the sea.
The finest fabric with which the modern
individual is clothed, the finest
food that is eaten, the most costly
jewelry, the finest houses the most
valuable, material things of the earth
today have been created and fashioned
out of the crude material : that
here ever since the creation of the
world.
And oven today there are n<>% now
materials being made. Whatever new
we see in that respect is some new
form created out of something else
that had boon here all the time.
In fact, we believe in the thought
that has been expressed to the effect
that there is no material or thing i 11
the world that cannot he converted
into am other just as soon as man
learns how to do it. This is chemistry.
Whatever changes we see that
are made in things happen either from
manual manipulation or from some
sort of chemical action that is brought
to bear by the arts that men have

In the course <?f time man will master
this whole thing* and then he will
be able to take anything in the world
and mak< out of it anything else that
he may happen to wvtnt or need.

There is no finer place to spend n
vacation than at Myrtle Beach.
Never allow too many things to distract
the mind away from the work ?n
business.
o
The most beautiful (lower was produced
from the lowly earth that was
trod under foot.
o
The making of more cement walks
iind the paving of the streets ought
to go on forever in Conway.
Some new cottages and bungalows
in Conway are now making a fine
show with new coatings of paint.
Making cotton .against the ravages
of the weevils is what makes cotton
raising harder than it used to be for
the farmers.
o
There is no more or less of time
for anybody. There is only so much
of 'inie and it cannot be diminished
or increased.

11 is a pity that we often lack the
ability to concentrate ourselves on the
thinfe that is important to us and
put all our time to the trivial.

Radio is a great thing and will lead
to still greater tilings. Marconi believes
th.it signals are now being made
by wireless frqni Mars. He is conducting
interesting experiments that
may lead to some startling things
later 011.
o
The tobacco crops in this section of
South Carolina were damaged nearly
half, in the opinion of many by reason
of the heavy rains of some time
ago. The outlook now is not so bad.
The effects are being taken care of
much better than it looked like was
possible.
o
Man has done nothing tlv.it woman
will not try to do. She wants to wear
his clothes. She can vote and drive
a car and can strike matches on her
pants and light her own little old
cigarette. She thinks she will boss
man completely at some time or
other. She will try.

GOOD FOR HORRY
The wonders of Horry County and
the splendid qualities of her people
did not come to our notice for the
first time last week while attending
the meetings of the South Carolina
Press Association?we have
long known both Horry and her people.
We shall, threrefore, leave it
to other writers to tel! of the glories
of Horry, Conway and Myrtle Beach,
and rest content that we have so
splendid neighbor. Our only rej
marks are that the S. C. Press Asi
sociation, in all of its history, has
I never before been received with arm-wider
open, nor Ijave the entire peo!
pie of a county ever before joined
I in such hearty reception of the newspaper
men. their friends and families,
i We spent years in Horry and every
, remark, complimentary to The Inde1
pendent Rep' blic and her people,
j made lis tingle with pride?and there
j were so many of these well de'
served remarks that we continued to
tingle for several days after the gamhad
caught trains for their homes.

**************************
(The State)
Who save to the county the soubriquet
of '"The Independent Republic of
Horry" we do not know but the explanation
of it is obvious, because
Horrv has had ;x unique relation to
the other counties of South Carolina.
In the memory of middle-aged men
two days were required for a member
of the Legislature to come from C( nway
(then "Comvayboro") to Columbia.
No railroad penetrated the county.
Conwa.vboro was a hamlet, having;
a courthouse, two or three stores
and a blacksmith shop.
It was never a plantation county
and, lying; on the Atlantic coast, with
l ice planting; counties to the south and
north having great negro populations
and a minority of whites. Horry was
aUv/iys a county of overwhelming
white population?the negroes being
proportionately about as numervus as
they are in. the two northwestern
mountain counties, Oconee and rickens.
A long time the turpentine at.d
timber industries were its principal
source of wealth and tha* stage had
to be passed through (though tlu.re
is still much fine timber in Horrv) be
fore agriculture began to he ot nrst
;mport;inco. One thought of Ilorry
and boxed pine trees and sawmills,
takin.ir lor granted that the land was
poor, because one knew nothing about
it. was never a great cotton county,
so. when the boll weevils reached
the waters of Little Pee Dee they
found a land that they could not devastate.
They found tobacco, corn,
nore sheep and goats and ca'tle than
most counties have, much forage,
truck and fruits and thousands < f
small farmers livin.tr at home, men
who in the last two decades hod mad.'*
immense prom ess in converting wh.it
b./ul been thought of as ;i wilderness
into a region that had in very truth
n uch of that independence which long |
before some wag of a p.di ician h id
ascribed t<> it in jest.
\t the beautiful luncheon ivo-i tthe
pro-, association by the Chamber
of Commerce ?> f Conway last VVednes
d.-iy the mayor, Mr. Mugrath, said,
"In the last two years not one busi->
noss failure ha< occurred in Conway!"
Where is another Southern town, with
banks, supply merchants, many retail
stores and shops, two hotels, sawmiil. j
and wood working factories, having a
farming country as the principal -un-i
port of its business, with such ;i roc-1
old? Newspaper men "to?>k no'.ice"
when that surprising statement was'
hoard and they heard little in Oon-j
way or in Horry of "hard times" and |
no complaining of any kind, i'he
masses of the people are not rolling
in wealth tint, in Horry there is ii111-3 !
insolvency, little foreclosure of m.? 'lgagos,
and the one is hoporu! and
there is no brooding over "dedal Ion."
Between (i/dlivant's Ilorry, by way of
Conway, and Myrtle Beach, one o?>

i cotto i and 'hov worn tlio dis

series of bridges to the ne?v bridge,
beyond which at a litti'i distance is
the country house of George .ilolhday.
If in South Carolina is another country
estate that rivals it in beaut> of
setting we have not seen it. As one
looks from the "bridge on the neb'e
river with its clear, gurnet wavers,
forested to the marge. and the mansion
in tlie pines corner into view,
one's imagination is not strained to
picture the scene as t'ne home of n
princess.
The puzzle in writing of the meeting
of the press association in Horry,
at Myrtle Beach i-; to rind a i topping
place.. The association has ?? ' en, always
indeed, received graceful and
generous hospitalities but not before,
so far as we remember, has it lvid a
"count v welcome/' The Oonwav folk
were the entertainers, but ill cf Hony
was, apparently, expectant of the
guests and joining in the heaviness
of the reception of them.
One suspects that not many South
Carolinians outside of the Pee Dee
district, know much of Myrtle Beach.
The Pee Dee knows it?Florence, Marion.
Darlington, H.artsville, Bennettsville
and Dillon as well as Conway
frequent it and are enjoying it. It is
no raw, rough camping spot, with a
few shanties, by the ocean's side.
There are forty-five cottages, new,
well built and attractive, facing the
strand, a commodious clubhouse with
all the modern appointments, and a
hotel with a pavilion and an annex
with dressing rooms and the usua1
conveniences for bathers. Other cot'aires
are being erected. Abundant
water from many flowing artesvm
wells 100 feet deep supplies the domestic
wants of tho summer residenfs.
From the Myrtle Beach Farms (the
Myrtle Beach Farms Company owns
the hotel and is the developed of the
property) vegetables, "poultry and
other foodstuffs are brouglv each dav
and offered for sale and tho railroad,
of course, affords comnuuii<"ation with J
Conway (whence it runs to Clvdhooin
and connects with the At' mtiv Coast
Line), so that ice .and all comforis
mav be had. Besides, one may motor
to Conway in fifty minutes.
\s for the beach and tho Surf. tho\
have no special distinction?beaches
and surf bear a faivilv resemblance i
-aiul at Folly Island, tho Isle of;
Palms .and Tybee one may batlv\ ifj
one choose, with equal thrills, but |
Mvrtle Beach has thi - rdvant .-ige, j
which wo think is important: H i<j
not a beach surrounded by marsh.)
The cultivated ('arms and the woodlands
extend to a poift w?thin 11;*! *

may be fovaroble to Columbia the justice

Horry that communication with

BIGHAM LAWYER
GETS UP MORE
Discovered StiM More Evidence
Since Refusal
of New Trial
According to the Florence Times
there may be still another motion for
a new trial for 'Edmund I). Bighani.
In its issue of last Saturday the Times
say ?:
f X II T A
r roni j. w. lopton ot Leslie, U.a.,
grandfather of Walter H. Wade, whom
Edmund D. Bigham, now under death
sentence for murdering his own brother,
Smiley, and indicted for murdering
their mother, their sister and her
two children, was suspected of murdering,
the Times has received a request
to have its reporters ask Bigham
of the Wade murder if they
should interview him again. He hopes
that Bigham, going to his death, may
yet tell something which will clear up
more fully the murder of Walter
Wade. The letter is as follows::
Leslie, Ga., June 28, 1922.
Editor of the Florence Daily Times.
Florence, S. C.
My dear sir:
"I have just read of Edmund D.
Bigham's trial being denied. Edmund
I). Bighath once lived in Leslie, Ga.
I knew him well. He went to Americas,
Ga., with Walter H. Wade, a
gr.andson of mine, on August IT, 1010,
and Walter Wade was murdered that
night and body thrown in Flint River.
The detective 1 employed on the case
suspected Bigham. In fact we all
thought Bigham knew something of
the murder until the parties were arrested
and convicted If you ever
have another interview with Bigham
and if it is not asking top much of
you, will you please ."i>k Bigham if
he didn't go to Americus, Ga., with
Walter II. Wade the night he (Wade)
was murdered. If he knows anything
then he will tell all he knows.
Verv frillv yours,
J." W. CLOPTON.
Bigham is sentenced to cxecuior
on July 1 !, but an appeal now pend-ing
will stay the execution for the
second time. Since the denial of tii<1
liisl ;n>ne:il in circuit coin I for ;i new
. ?II
trial, I'itfham's .attorney is said t<
have discovered more evidence on
li'tle town, here dwelLs the ser.se of
loveliness. We believe that H. I..
Mencken, if he could see Marion
would apologize to the South.

EXAMINATIONS
GIVEN AGAIN
The Civil Service Commission invites
special attention to the fact
that in examinations held recently in
Washington, D. C., and other cities
throughout the United States for laboratory
assistant, junior grade and
senior aid, Bureau of Standards; and
laboratory assistant, senior grade,
Bureau of Standards, applicants were
not secured in the number desired,
and that these examinations will lie
held again. The laboratory assistant,
senior grade examination will 'je held
on July 19 and 20; the others cn
July 19.
Persons interested i? these or-oilier
examinations should apply to the Secretary
of the United States Civil Service
Board at the local post o'.^o for
detailed information and application
blanks.
which he will probably ask a new
trial should the supreme court deny
the present appeal.

Let the Horry Herald do it.
