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 |

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

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.

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
