C. THURSDAY AUGUST 3, 1922 ************************** * * * WE THINK WE KNOW % * * ************************** How few of us know what we think we know! If we all knew just as much as we think we know about all things that concern us in the everyday affairs of this life we would be smart indeed and we would be able to show that "we were. The truth is that wre never know as much as we think we know. Smart men of all times have made certain claims and have based what they said upon certain discoveries either made by accident or deliberately thought out; and yet other men have come on behind them and discovered yet other things which proved that the others were entirely wrong. Statements accepted through the ages as being the absolute truth have 'turned out to be false. Therefore we know that a man should never be too sure that he is Tight. Great things and small things make up the sum of human experience if indeed there is anything which is really small and unimportant. The largest things in the world are made up of atoms so small that the naked eye cannot beheld them. An atom cannot be regarded as too small for consideration when it is realized that it is the thin# upon which the mass depends. He who thinks he knows is the one who rests quietly and makes no fur'ther investigation. He is fed up on his own self-conscious feeling that he knows it all and there is nothing more for him to learn. Such an one will never make any progress in the field of knowledge. It is the best rule never to be too sure. Even the eyes and ears are fooled when there is no thought of it. Often it is that a man is convicted of some act in the public estimation just because the public thinks that it knows all about the case. How often have we seen it proved that the public was wrong and even the public it-1 self change its position and opinions ;in the twinkling of an eye. The one who is too sure never makes any investigation to see if he is not in error. It always remains for someone else with more curiosity than he to find out the error and point it out to him. It is cretainlv best for map to see that there is no end to knowledge. The more we learn the more we want to learn and the more there is to be learned. We cannot learn it all. < iniuii^ ?.iic 1,11111 y, r* i/iicii/ vvr ucilt'VG 11 js possible for the mind of man to understand some time is the mystery of lifo and de.ath. Men have studied it. They are still studying it. In the course of time we believe that it will be made plain to the human understanding just as much as any other thing that we think we know. It is best for us to keep on trying to dis- | cover and to improve by means of! knowledge gained. o * * * * * -x* -x- -x- * -x- * -x- -x- * * -x- x- * -x- * -x- -x- * * ^ * * * HORRY HKRALDING * * $ ******** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * : : Horry county is a great tobacco county. () Thorp is something new in farming. This is co-operative marketing. o Horry county should have a way of insuring its farmers against loss by hail, wind and flood. o Conway is now the capitol of a prosperous community, says an article in the Columbia Record. o The South is the best place for the negro. Any negro who has gone North for a time will tell you so. O Horryites are learning more about farming since they have to depend more and more on the diversified kind. Horry county will easily beat Charleston and Georgetown in the seaside resort business before very long. o He who succeeds in this world will have one contest after the other. It is the nature of things that causes that. o The best products produced in this country are worthless unless they can be carried to those who need them and can buy and use them. We occupy an important location on the Atlantic coast. Like others, we seem to have been rather ignorant of that fact for a long time. o One of the finest places in this world is within less than a dozen miles of one of the largest summer resorts in this country; but there is no way to get to it or from it, and therefore it is worth nothing to anybody. If the railroad is ever to be moved away from the main street of Conway it should be done before the street is paved. We need a paved street. o The time of the razorback hog is getting short in Horry. May he cease to waive his tail about the young pines that would fain grow up in our forests. o We want the best men in office and fvta \iia ?vi nn mm U/vU ? 1.

We all realize that this is the truth. The truth of this comes home to every man that tries life somewhere else. o Grain-fed pork is the only pork that is fit to eat. Acorn-fed does not taste like bacon. Fish-fed tastes more like fish than it does like bacon. Feed the hogs on corn, peas and potatoes and have something that is worth eating. There is plenty of meat like this in Kerry. o STRIKE COMMENT The best friends of labor, organized and not organized, are more and more fearful that "the right to strike" has been emphasized too much anil that when it runs afoul of the general right of every one to peaceful life it must give way to the greater good of the grej'or number. The country is tired of strikes. The whole people of the United States are tired of having their coal and transportation either interfered with or threatened. Since the birth of organized labor Americans have been in sympathy with the right of men collectively to bargain and collectively to protest against injustice by i collective cessation of work. Put that sympathy has been extended to strik ing iiion, wno rought a fair tight, who interfered not at all with l,h3 innocent and the nonpartisan. In the old days, in the far West, a man had ine fight to shoot if lie felt himself injured or threatened by another. The other man had a right to shoot, too. It was a case of a "fair field and no favor." When towns grew larger promiscuous shooting had to stop. The rights of the innocent bystander became paramount to the rights of two men to "fight it out." The rights of many innocent citizens are paramount to the rights of a few to strike. It is the general feeling of legislators in Washington, strongest among the friends of organized labor, that it is to labor's benefit to find another way to settle difficulties than to strike in the essential industries?coal and transportation. It is their conviction that if labor cannot or will not, the United States can and will. The innocent must r.ot suffer that two disputants be allowed to figiat; arbitration must take the place of interference with mails, stoppage of coal, halting of trains. If peacefully, willingly, so much the better. If by force of arms and drastic laws, so much the worse for those who .put personal rights before the rights of the whole country.?Contributed. o Extracts from "How to Live on 21 Hours a Day."

Clemson College.?A great many otherwise good pastures in South Carolina are being ruined or made of small value by allowing the weeds to grow throughout the summer months, despite the fact that it is very essential to keep the weeds out of pastures for satisfactory results. Much of the damage done to pastures could easily he prevented through the control of weeds, first bv preventing weeds from going to seed on the farm, and second by prevent'ng weed seeds from being brought on the farm. Many of 1 h? weeds now growing in ou' pastures will make 1 ?n fhe near future and can be prevented from seeding by mowing or otherwise destroying the weeds at this season of the year, says Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agronomist, who thinks that where weeds are thick in the pasture and where tne land is sufficiently smooth to permit the use of a mowing machine, mowing is perhaps the best way to prevent them from seeding. Where there are only a few weeds in the pasture they may frequently be eradicated by the use of a garden hoe, the grubbing hoe, or by hand pulling. This would require very little work in many cases and would greatly increase the value of the pasture for this fall and winter as well as next spring. o ?Box letter files of the better kind at the Herald oftice. o Cures Malaria, Chills, Fever, Bilious Fever, Colds and La-1 Grippe.?tf bl that country some ce with their modern meth does not compare with Our C They are a favorite wit as with the children. flavor and crispness tl ot all who like sweets.

R MULLir LY, 8. P., AUGUST 3, 1822 : THREETWAYSOF ENDING STRIKE Washington.?Three proposals for immediate ending of the railroad strike have been submitted to representatives of the railroad executives and labor unions by President Harding, according to information obtained from administration advisers who talked with the executive. The three proposals, hinging on various plans for adjusting the employes' seniority rights, will be submitted, it was said, to the executives' meeting in New York and to an employes' conference in Chicago to be arranged by B. M. Jewell, the shopmen's leader. rv..A_! .1. M 1 i . ^ *i uuisiae ranroaa contracting, it was said, would be abandoned by the railroads under each of the three proposals. One of the proposals, according: to those claiming to have information of the President's suggestions, would be for the railroads to waive the seniority question and take all strikers back to work. Another was said to be to give "loyal" men who have remained at work prior seniority rights over strikers, and the third was for separate adjustment of the seniority disr>ute by each road with its own employes through joint committees to be appointed. The President was said by his advisers to believe the three proposals promised considerable hope of a strike settlement and to have declared that "more clouds had passed away" in the railway situation within the past few hours than for several weeks. Rehearsing by the Railroad Labor Board of the shopmen's wage question was said to be embraced in all three of the proposals. One -proposal, it was said, also contemplated that both employes and employers agree that hereafter the board's rulings be observed without question. The President had suggested with reference to seniority, it was asserted, that as an initial step under the proposal that the labor board be given complete jurisdiction over the seniority controversy. If this could not be agreed "upon, it was said, the President proposed as a substitute the plan for settlement by the executives and employes of each separate road through joint committees composed of three members representing each party to the controversy. In event of disagreement of such committees it was proposed that the 'question then he taken to some form ot arbitration tribunal. rHE Swedish women do not now use the same ethods for making tyn*od that were used in tnturies ago.
