f i HORRY SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE Rest A1 iv*lit Follow In \Veeviis' State, Says the Aikin St anda ret.. FARMS SELF SUSTAINING Says Press Gang Really Lony: t( Live In Horry County. (Aiken Standard). "THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC ; The "Independent Republic of Hor ry"?as the people of Horry county | ! are pleased to style the domain they ; inhabit?is setting a splendid lesson for the remainder of the boll-weevil i ridden state, and the members of the South Carolina Press Association who were quests of the "Independent Re- ; public" last week have learned this i lesson for the good of the state a; i large. It is a splendid lesson for any ; time, but particularly apt in view of i the problems with which South Caro- : lina is confronted, economically and i agriculturally, at this time. First and i foremost, the people of the "Inde- ; pendent Republic of Horry" are liv- ! ing at home. Horry nroducts cons- : titute their food. Their farms are : self-sustaining. And what a feast < they did spread for the visiting news- j paper people?a feast fit for the god< j ?and all Horny county products. : Then, the people of Horry believe i in the "Independent Republic." They = have faith in themselves, in the soil, ; and in the future. They are goinu ahead confident of solving their : problems, apparently too confident to ; indulge in hard times talk. No hard I times talk was heard, at any rate. ; Their hospitality is the distinguish- J ing characteristic of the people of : that favored section, however. They" ; are charming hosts. ! Comparisons are odious, but if Aiken might have the spirit of cooperation one finds at Conway, and if the people of Aiken could get to- ' gether in the same manner those of Conway work in double harness, we could do almost anything we cared to do here toward making Aiken a better* place to live in and to do business in and to make a living in. At Marion, too, the piiess gang j met with wholesale hospitality. A reception was tendered them at the Marion Library. Words of warming" welcome were heard, and after being; refreshed the newspaper folk were taken in automobiles provided by the public-spirited people of Conway across country nearly thirty miles to that place. At Gallivant's Ferry the welcome of the "Independent Republic of Horry" was unique. The bridge spanning the river at that point was closed by a gate constructed for the purpose, and behind this stood Miss Flora Mae Holliday, the beaut if.il daughter of George Holliday. who. as everyone knows, was "Queen of Palmafesta." With the beautiful queen were four maids, and the gates were onened by these girls as one automobile after another approached. At Aynor. a few miles further on, the automobiles were held up and 4 iced lemonade served the press gang. , Arriving at Conway, the newspaper , people were guests of the Chamber of Commerce at a sumptous dinner. Thereafter a part of the party proceeded by boat down the Waccainaw River?the most picturesque in ' South Carolina?to Peachtree Ferry, . thence by automobile to Myrtle ' Beach. Others wont direct by automobile. A trip down the Waccainaw River 1 is worth iourn'^ 'ng over several states, if this should be necessary to make such a trip possible. Myrtle Beach unquestionably one of the finest beach resoits in the ' South and except for its inaccessi- N - i ..i.: I bility would long ago nave iuurncu greater oopularity. Ample accoiim.- I dations are provided at the hotel at reasonable rates. The fishing and suvf billhinir are unexcelled. Add- i ing to the delights of the resort *is t the Yacht Club, the home of which \ has just been completed. The privil- r leges of the club were extended to I the press ^ang, and on the last even- i ing of the association meet Col. I). A i Spivey of Conway entertained a party of the more prominent editors t at d'nner at the club. "\Vp live ?Mid live lonir?in Hor* . rv" is the slogan one hears over; r there. To this mioht bo added. after ? cn.ioying such splendid hospitality, ( "and we long to live in Horry." ( The first thin?; Charles Ogle.

That cows handled gently give nore milk. 2. That cows are creatures of habit i ind should he fed and milked at regilar intervals. , 8. That milkers should not he hanged except when absolutely nocesiary. 4. That a good milker should milk it least eight cows per hour. b. That one good man can do all he work connected with handling wenty cows and their product, when he product is sold to a nearby creamsry. fi. That :.i good cow has a large stomach, .divided into four chamber.-, md that this stomach must be kept ull for best results. 7. Tiiat she needs therefore large luantities of rough feed and that this eed must be grown at home. 8. That she should be fed grain iccording to the amount of milk and mtterfat which she is capable of prolucing. 0.
