" \ THE KEIM'BEIC OF HORRY (Anderson Daily Mail) A number of up-country newspaper men had some valuable lessons in the geography of South Carolina during the meeting of the State Press Association at Myrtle Beach recently. Most of them knew as little about the extreme eastern section of South Carolina as they did about the Panhandle <?( Texas, but they came home with valuable and ple.asant experiences. The meeting of the association was held at Myrtle Beach, which is one of the most beautiful and safe beaches on the South Atlantic coast. They were entertained principally by the people of Conway, but the citizens of the whole county and also of Marion were in no way lacking in their attention to the visitors. They were met at the station at Marion and taken to the public librarv whom was served, and a short get-acquainted meeting was held. Then the Conway people took the newspaper people in automobiles to their town, a distance of miles over splendid roads, where a couple of hours were spent delightfully, and an elegant dinner served of Horry county raised products, and a most delightful dinner it was. Many of us had an idea that Conway was a sleepy village with ox carts hitched in the middle of Main street, hut on the contrary found it to be an up-to-date growing town, with all modern conveniences, beautiful residences, and a live Chamber of Commerce. Before reaching Conway at Gallivant's Ferry, which now has a splendid bridge, at the center of the bridge which divides Horry and Marion counties, a beautiful arch of pine boughs was built and the newspaper men I were welcomed by Miss Holliday, who | f/i ! m > irS v ; Jsk7 T"'' : more peoj happened in t When you shopping aroi This $10.9 economy in tl was voted queen of South Carolina at Columbia Palmafesta. She was assisted by a number of other ladies of that section. Further on at the town of Ay nor, there were more decorations and lemonade was served. After dinner at Conway the association was taken to Myrtle Beach, a distance of 20 miles. Some of the guests went down the Waccamaw River in ayacht and were met by cars at Peachtree Ferry. This was a beautiful ride, the river for the most part running through cypress swamps. The meeting of the press at Myrtle Beach lasted for two days. There is a large hotel with an annex at the beach, and many cottages, and others under construction. A number of people of the Bee Dee section have just completed a large clubhouse of some forty rooms, with a recreation pier built out over the ocean. * i norry county has long been known as the Independent Republic of Horry, and it got that name on account of its being cut off from the rest of the state by largo rivers with wide swamps, which were impassable for days at a time during- high water from the up-country. The county at that time had no railroad, and being cut off so much of the time from the rest of the state, the people found it necessary to raise most of their foodstuffs, and they have been doing this for years. Now, however .the swamps are bridged, and the county has railroads, although you have to go into North Carolina to reach the county by rail. Opening of the state highways has given the county a new impetus, especially the development of Myrtle Beach. Horry county was never a large cotton producing county, and now since the coming of the boll weevil still less is produced. Trucking, tobacco, corn, potatoes, are among the sources of revenue, while the lumber business is a very large industry. The trucking season is over, and the tobacco season is beginning. There is a tobacco barn on practically every farm and curing has begun. Fine pasturage is abundant and cattle raising is being given more attention. One striking feature of the county is the artesian wells, which range from '200 to 400 feet in depth, and they are all flowing wells, giving an nI >1 iih 1 ?i nr?r? r\C .1 -.4 v vi ^iiwu ?iiiur til small cost, which can also he used for irrigation purposes during dry weather, hut this year there have been excessive rains, which have been detrimental to crops. Fish are abundant in the streams, and there is plenty of all kinds of game, together with the rich soil, making Horry one of our richest counties in natural resources, and a good place to live well and cheaply. The manufacture of peanut oil has been stimulated a great deal in recent years because of the ravages of the cotton boll weevil in reducing cotton growing in certain sections. ] 30 x 3V2 "G" Tread at $10, pie of tire dickering than any he past five years. find a tire value like this you ind. 0 price establishes a new r< his community.

J 1 THE HORRY HERALD, CON PICKLING THK CUCUMBERS Clemson College.?Many inquiries are reaching the horticulturists of the college for information about pickling cucumbers, and to meet this need a. supply of a circular letter, prepared by the state home demonstration agent's office has been provided and may he had either from the state home demonstration agent, Winthrop College, Rock Hill, S. C., or from the horticultural division, Clemson College, S. C. That pickling cucumbers is a simple matter is shown by the following paragraph from the circular letter, which gives also brief information and suggestion on the part nlaved hv rtin'n,._ I out bacteria in the pickling process, how to test for acid, prevention of scum yeast, exclusion of air, etc. "Soft water should he used in making the brine. Water containing much iron or lime will discolor the pickles. Put the cucumbers into brine very soon after they are gathered. A good measure of salt is absolutely necessary to prevent spoilage, but salt alone is not enough. The cucumbers may be put down in a 45 degree to a 00 degree brine. The salt draws out the water from the vegetable tissues and toughens them somewhat. For this reason the weaker brine will give a better texture to the finished product. About one pound of salt dissolved in one gallon of water will cause a salt dydrometer to float at about 45 on the scale, which will show that it is a 45 degree salt solution. The cucumbers should be I ASPIRIN Say "Bayer" and Insist!
