J GUKLEY N^WS#^####| In the beginning I wish to ask to he excused by the readers for not explaining the condition and circumstance of things in this section in regard to the crops being ruined by vain which we have been having for the last throe months. f ! For the last week I have heard >re talk .ffmong the lavmers in 1 errid to th?ir condition. Several V;'iners and practically all of them re up against it this year in this rection around (iur|?.y and in school 1'i trie! number twenty-five. The rains nave ruined their crops ; ? d the tobacco which they are now tcidy tr? m.arke-, and at home, together, will i?i?t amount to an: th?? e, in ("act some ;'armer>: planted tobacco a'.d tl?o rail./ inner! it absolutely, for instance 1 will mention a few farmers ^ who are losing this time: Mr. W. R. Tyler planted in the sprint? about twelve 'tores of tobacco which 'helonged to himself and hoys, out of fhis crop of tobacco they lost about eight jx res by the rains, worth absolutely nothing, and the balance of the crop is worthless. Mr. T\ !cr also had planted six acres of wax bea?>s and eight acres of lima beans which were ruined by the rains also. Sasser Co., Inc., in the spring had twelve acres of cabbage which they were compelled tu cut up owing to ti e market condition and could not sell hem and realize expenses justifying shipment. Sasser Co., Inc., had twelve acres of garden poar from which they did not realize anything, also they had three teres of Irish potatoes to rot in the ground, owing to the rains. They also had eight acres of cantaloupes to ?? ?? to the bad, could not get in field] to work them, therefore they have eight ncres of fine hay coming on. | Practically all the farmers in this sf ction ami in this district are up against it, some of them will not make enough to pay expenses of working- crops. I have heard the following farmers say that thev are up against it: W. R. Tvier, F. G. Prince, J. M. and J. C. Dorsey, S. D. Collins, II. H. Anderson. J. W. Sa. ser, Jr. This is only a few which 1 have referred to nnd the balance of the farmers are in the sv^mc row with the one referred to. In this section about two-thirds of the farmers .are members of the Cooperat ive A.sociation. The market will soon open and I hope they will receive good money on their tobacco through this organization which I believe is a good thing 1r * -rrw^-.-TFrrtjui_ j*r-rv:::a * ********************* , ? !

Clemson College, July 29.?Half a hundred farmers from Anderson, Greenville, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg and York spent Thursday and Friday, July 27 and 28, on an observation visit to the north Georgia fruit Section around Cornelia and feathered information which is sure to be of great value in the promotion of fruit growing in the Piedmont section of this state. They saw orchards big and little, young: and old, successful and unsuccessful, and were impressed with the fact that while it takes nerve, oaey, and experience to win in the fruit growing game, there is money in ii ("or the man who wins.

TOE HORRY HERALD, CONW/ ROAD SECTIONS NEED WATCHING There are two sections of the road to Myrtle Beach which need constant attention for a time until a permanent hard roadbed has been provided. One is the sections of I'll Is between Conway and the Rod Hill. Prompt work saved the embankment near the Red Hill from destruction last week following a heavy rain. The other section is between Stalvey and Myrtle Beach, r.ot far from the farm of P. J. Kikes. At places along there ruts are formed quickly because the soil gets soft with the rain and does not si'cm to have the cl.wy foundation that would make it right.

And the reason this society is being fought is because of so many frivolous jokes that are being spit out there among the people and they are not worth the time it takes to tell them. And not only the jokes but I think that if tho nice and intelligent men who are the Editors of our papers would stop so much uncalled for bosh about the society being printed that some folks would like the papers better and I am sine they would like the society better. /\n<i as ior the jokes 111 tne society I am the man who put in the amendment against thorn and hope that God Almighty will bless me to fight the authorizing of lies what time here I live. And I an. gVid that tlie Pastor who whs referred to is a man with enough of Jesus Christ about him to speak against such hellish stuff as making 'ies, th:ink Ciort for him, may he speak again. \ nd a?5 for being tender hearted I am glad I am, how would you like to live in this county if no tender hearted people were here. 1 count people who fight, curse, rob God and man as hard hearted people. 1 hope that not many such people belong to this county, if they do 1 want the secretary to erase my name. I guess people are tired of hearing so much about Maple Literary Society for T am sure 1 am so. 1 will close by saying that I hope that the dear editors of <?ur county papers will discontinue so much bosh being published about the Society unless it was needful. And also that Gcd will bless my friend Jenrette with a happy life and most of all a tender heart, a heart that will compel him to rise against the .authorizing of lies called joke? in our society language.

C. ********* FEW CASES FOLLOW RAIN 9 This season has brought to this section of the state a number of cases of continued malarial fevers and some cases of typhoid. The cases were first developed about the time of the first heavy rains which injured the crops of the farmers in Sorastee township and portions of lower Bucks township. It is now conceded thai the malarvil type of fever is scattered by the everlasting mosquito. While no way lias been found to exterminate this pest, vet there are many pood ways of preventing him from doing any damage. By spreading oil on the surface of the stagnant waters that nv\y accumulate in the ditches and drains, mo: ?|Uoties are prevented from breed irrl in those places. Bv overturning all of J i no owi tin pans, barrels and o1h*?' places rain water catches and stays, the number of mosquitoes is greatly reduced. Host of all is the careful screening of I bo windows and door* P the dwelling's to prevent the insects entering the home and biting while the inmates sleep. A study of tho fever situation, however, would indicate that Horry has had less of the continued cases of maaria and typhoid than other nearby sections of tho state. Tho number of now cases no w developing is negligible. Regarding these conditions in Flor-1 once county tho Florence Times says, j "An unusually l.arro number of i cases of typhoid and malarial fevers! are following the present excessive rains over the towns and rural communities of this sectioi., according lo health reports. I>r. C. C. Craft, citv health officer, said that he is not alarmed over tho situation as there .are probably no more cases than conditions warrant, but he advises every precaution during tho present wot weather. Keen all of the tin cans picked up and drained, cut weeds and grass around tho premises, oil ditches or other places where water stands so that it cannot be drained, or. best of all, take tho typhoid vaccine treatment, says Dr. Craft. Reports from outlying sections indicate that typhoid is very prevalent iust now. Health authorities know and say that there is just one preventive?that is, kill the mosquito. This can be done by destroying his breeding places, which anyone may recognize. Unless the mosquito is killed by the destruction of his breeding places, typhoid remains .a terrible menace to tho community and to i tt it li<>iliiwr 1 lw? /I ri 11L-1 lwr 1y v. > ,y win.

Physicians in Timmonsville are reported to have issued special warning to all their people because of the pres ent conditions.- They are advising vaccine treatment as the one certain immunity for the disease. Reports are coming from other 5?ec tions of South Carolina that typhoid and malarial fevers are very prevalent gen civilly at this time. Inasmuch as the rains which have fallen in this section have been quite general, especially in the coastal regions, no doubt the same conditions found here exist in common through the state. n | TODDVILLfi ITEMS f i ** <?
