To this large number of newspaper men ilorry was just a name, Ll and the beautiful V/accamaw River ^ was merely a geographical fact, more p or less securely filed in the card in- r dex of memory when they were school h boys. Consequently the press trip to Myrtle Beach via Mavson and by j:utomobile over the broad and really mag- j nificent cement gravel highway 1'iom Marion to Conway, hence by boat J il. - AIT 1 1 ? * J 1 A 1 uuwn me vvaccamaw uiver 10 reacntree ferry, and by motor from the ferry to the beach had all the charm 1 of novelty. What was seen and what 1 was learned on this delightfully arranged tour of discovery into this picturesque and richly endowed section of our own state impressed more deeply than ever before the oft-repeated truism that the man who would be well informed and really educated respecting the things that are "lost important should "see' Ymerica f'rst;" and that for South Carolinians, America should mean South Carolina. We did not see all of Marion county, all of Horry county, or all of the Waccamaw River, but we saw enough to be convinced that all of the good roads of the state are not to be found beyond the Pee Dee, that all the picturesque scenery is not monopolized by the mountain region, and that all of the progressive spirit that inspires a people to use their opportunities for the development of natural riches is not the exclusive heritage of the people of the Piedmont. The term "Independent Republic," as applied to Horry county has been heretofore an unexplained puzzle to many not to the manor born. It is no longer a puzzle. Horry is independent because the county is so richly endowed with all things essential lor the comfort and well-being of her people that they have been able to live at home and ask little of the outside world save the good will and friendship of their fellow South Carolinians. Horry is independent, but not exclusive, self-centered nor selfish. This was demonstrated by the cordial welcome extended to the press party, ( and the generous and gracious hospi- \ tality of which they were the recipients every hour of their stay. j In no particular has nature been generous in endowing Horry county ( with riches than in the gift of Myrtle Beach, the finest, safest and most ex- i tensive beach on the South Atlantic coast. It stretches in a long, sweep- I ing, gentle curve from Murrell's In- 5 let on the south to the North Caro- ( lina line?miles of beautiful hard, broad beach unbroken by island or marsh land; the view of the broad, 1 blue Atlantic ocean unobscured in any < direction.

There is sjvice along- the shore >r thousands of summer homes of paltFi and pleasure seekers; even the utattreds of thQUsands who flock to tlantic City would not overcrowd [yrtle Beach's opulently ample space. The Myrtle Beach Farms Corporaon, which owns and operate? the [yrtle Beach Hotel, holds 65,000 acres f land in one body facing on the cean. The hotel, annex and cottages ill comfortably accommodate a large rowd of visitors. Many cottages on le beach are owned by Conway, Mar>n, Florence and Dillon people who pend their summers here. A recent evelopment this season is the Myrtle leach Yacht Club, a large and modrnly equipped three-story clubhouse, rnving all the appointments of a first lass hotel. The clubhouse is primary for the use of members, many of hom have erected cottages near the lubhouse; but it is a great addition > the resort. There is a large dance avilion at both hotel and clubhouse ith a good orchestra to furnish mule at each. The members of the association, one nd all, enjoyed the outing and were n rlelie-hted with the many attrac ons of the beach that it was difficult ) combine business and pleasure in ue proportion; but despite the outide attractions the sessions of the ssociation were well attended and reat interest was shown. It w,'\s the concensus of opinion that lis meeting1 was one of the most sucessful, most enjoyable in every repect, from start to finish, held in ears. This gratifying result was ue chiefly to the hospitality and the nwearied attentions of our hosts, the Chamber of Commerce and the peole of Conway, and the ideal suroundings in which the meeting was eld. o JOOSTING INDUSTRIES Following the awakening which has some as a result of the Made-fn-Carolinas Exposition, held at Charlotte re cently, together with the wide publicity which attended that event, the business men of this section have1 greeted with much satisfaction the Carolina Shopping List, published and uisuujiued by the Observer Printing House of Charlotte. The first edition of this shopping list comprises 10,000 copies and has been distributed through the CIimd hers of Commerce, merchants' associa tions, libraries, civic clubs, and com inercial and manufacturing organii? tions. The reception of the first edition and the readily apparent value of the publication have resulted in th* decision upon the part of the publish ers to issue a second edition of 30,000 copies in the near future which will be more comprehensive than the first The new shopping list enables thf North Carolina consumer, retailer and jobber to purchase at home those ar tides which are manufactured within the two states. In its classifications like the recent exposition, it is a rev elation of the present state of develop ment of the manufactures in the tw< states, and of the variety and qualit> )f their products. It is invaluable to the Carolina mer bants in their new determination t< keep Carolina money at home for th< development of Carolina industry anc the increasing wealth and proaperif >f Carolina people Proof Wanted A colored sergeant on his way u} o the front, met a dusky privat( joining away from the same plact vit.l\ much speed and eclat.

For the purpose of summing up in convenient - form the recommendations of the extension service regarding boll weevil control this year, Information Card N<>. entitled JfBoll Weevil Control in has been issued and may be had upon application from the extension service, Clemson College, S. C., or from the county agents. This brief publication gives seven points in the matter of control of the weevil, these being restatements of the suggestions made from time to time by the extension service. Tin y have to do with cultivation, pickimof weevils and squares, poi zoning, plowing under stalks as early as possible in the fall, pl/mting cover crops after cotton, and practicing clean farming to destroy boll weevil hibernation places. Advice as to Poisoning The advice given on the information card as to poisoning is quoted below: "The following are the conditions under which poisoning may be expect ed to be profitable, (a) On high yielding land, (b) Where weevil infestation is heavy, (c) The use of an approved dusting machine capable of covering the acreage for the application, according to an approved plan, of calcium arsenate meeting the government specifications, (d) Under reasonably favorable weather conditions. Information in regard to machines and calcium arsenate may be obtained from the county agents. The only profitable results so far secured in carefully conducted tests by federal and state agencies were secured hv the use of calcium arsenate i i 1 in Must rorm, property appnea. Poison only when the air is calm and the plants are moist, using from five to seven pounds per acre for each application. When weevils are abundant when fruiting of cotton begins, one application may be made at that time. Use no calcium arsenate that has not been examined by federal or k state authorities and pronounced satisfactory. The next application should I be made when the weevils have puntured from 10 to 15 per cent of the squares, followed by two additional applications four days apart. Infestation counts should be made frequently and can be made by any farmer j who follows the simple directions fur4 nished upon application. The object ' is to keep the cotton thoroughly dust ed until the weevils .are under control. This may require a varying j number of applications of poison, depending on the season and other conditions. *Tf weevils should become sufficiently numerous to severely injure the youn<* l olls, one or tw> ir-oie . priJications 'ate n the reason should be made. 5 In case of a heavy rain within 5 twenty-four hours after dusting, the application should be repeated immediately. Always a carefully selected 5 plot of cotton should be loft unpoi$ soned for comparison with the adjoin' ing poisoned tract. This will help to ; determine how much the yield was increased by poisoning. Company I N his Season ve think it our duly to let U rick will Operate.

Mr. Bryan has no power to alter the facts of nature, and what he believes or does not believe does not in the least affect the progress of science. But his abilities and his prominence I have given him a large following, ;?nd as many worthy people let him do H their political and moral thinking for them, it is of some interest to see I that they do not also permit him to j _ H--J- > uu meir eaucatlonal and scientific thinking, too! H Mr. Bryan has demonstrated him self as perhaps the ablest orator in the country. He h.as a reputation as H a speaker, due to his knowledge and H outlook and experience as much, per- ~ H haps, as to his voice, his magnetic personality and his personal charm. But political, platform and oratorical ability do not constitute authority to say what is and what is not true in H science. H Nor does a personal interpretation H of the Bible constitute such authority. H It is but a few hundred years since men were burned at the stake for B heresy; and not much later that it H was considered heresy to say the earth H was round, not the center of the uni- H verse, or that the "six days" of oea tlon could mean anything1 else than one hundred and forty-four hours! I With literally thousands of able di- H vines and learned scientists quite con- H tent with their ability to see only I parallelism and not a conflict between the Bible and the theories of modern I science, it would appear wise, at least, for any who attempt to follow Mr. H Bryan .all the way to ask themselves I whether they are led becausb Mr. I Bryan is really a leader in either sci- H ence or religion, or whether they have I not thrown ins political and oratorical mantle over his attempt to arrogate to himself a final authority in mat- I ters of science!?Contributed. >1 o The Mississippi experiment station reports that pecan scab can be con-^IM trolled by four or five applications of Bordeaux, beginning when the nuts I are first formed.
