THURSDAY AUGUST 10, 1922 ************************** Hi * LAWS CANNOT PROHIBIT % * * ******* The whiskey laws ave hard to enforce because the prohibition of the use of intoxicants relates to the individual lives and habits of the people who compose the body politic. For this reason those who favor the use of strong drink, according as the individual may or may not wish to use it, make their claim r-n the ground of persona! liberty and they do not fail to carry with them a certain element of the people at large. The great question which is being asked just now, is, floes prohibition really prohibit? To say that the prohibition laws prevent the use of alcohol as a beverage, absolutely, cannot be true. No prohibition law, in any State or nation, ever did this in the history t)f the world. The truth is that the prohibition laws only restrain. The laws against murder and larceny fail to prohibit those things, and they are going on every day somewhere in this country, just as they are in other countries. The only help that we can get from prohibition laws is the restraint those laws have placed on liquor. Those who would violate the law in making and selling it must take gi*eat precautions with it to keep from being caught. The bootlegger cannot carry a large quantity, else it be found and it be found and he will be jailed. He can sell it to those who would buy from the. limited quantity that he has, provided he can iinj.1 his purchaser in a hidden place where there will be no other witnesses to the transaction. Those who want strong drink and can get it, will go about the matter in a very secret and hidden manner. They may and usually do get but very little, and at a very high price, and they often miss getting anything whatever, because the source of supply may have been scared away before the connection could be made. Thus it is that we have less drinking and less liduor used the more laws and officers we have on duty and the more stringent we can make those laws. In this way, and in this way * only, do the laws do any good. As to prohibiting the use of whiskey entirely they will never do that, for it has been sufficiently tried and past experience bears out this statement. It therefore lies with the people themselves whether or not the use of whiskey shall be prohibited. The individual must decide, each one for himself. * Our idea of the law is that there should be a law with teeth in it, making it a serious crime for any person to appear under the influeilPP of J1 I 11 'I'llnn . . .1- - ' v./nwi.

Individual efforts will count most in that respect. Thi-i sect'Vn had a fine watermelon crop this year. Some of the largest melons ever produced grew in Horry this year. The voting districts for magistrates in this county, urdor the new act of 11)22, appeared in the last issue of the Herald. o iThe joke of the fiuit .iar that made rings on the noses of Horryites has gone the rounds now. The next number on the program will bo a new joke. o The farmer who had his crops clean \vhen the rains came has a better prospect ityin the one who was unfortunate in not getting his work done that soon. o 1 Horry bounty has rich tobacco lands not found in other counties of South Carolina. She has lands on which the bright leaf can be produced; a I.so the lands on which the large, heavy leaves may be raised. i o?:?-?

I There is always some doubt as to I the number of friends who will insist that a man shall come out for office. o Horry County is one of the best e trucking sections of South Carolina. The county cannot be ranked that b way from the standpoint of produc- c tion, just at this time, but the coun- 0 ty can be made to rank far above n others in the amount and variety of t truck production by the efforts of c her growers during the next few v >ears. b o P WASHINGTON COMMENT V "Fools rush in where angels fear to h tread." * There are a lot of "angelic" legislators in this country who "fear to t tread" anywhere there is a labor vote, i' because it might not be cast in their s direction. There are a few "fools" who don't care whothor lnhnv r?v nnr?if?1 .? >...* w v/ A vu|iivui) I 1 I CI I I U I woman, union or corporation votes c for them, so long- as they do what they s. believe to be wise, right, and just. (! There are some journals in this ^ country which do not care who re/ids them, so what they publish is honest, from the heart, and not dictated because some one "fears to tread." Hence it is that the words "com- " pulsory arbitration" are being heard t more and more, since the United 0 ? States is having not a taste, but a full ! meal of strikes, private wars, inter- j ference with business, and with living, while several groups of labor and _ capital settle their differences by I conflict. ! "Compulsory arbitration is a fight- p ing word to organized labor. It is p abhorent in principle to American ideas of justice, that any man, in order to obtain justice, be compelled ^ to do otherwise than is provided in the Constitution. Compulsory arbi- q tration might easily be .1 tool in the j hands of either capital or labor which jy would work great hardship. )j Hut a sore afflicted man or nation ? will try almost any remedy for the affliction. So the "fool" who rushes jr in where others keep silent is heard, |K more and more suggesting, not neces- J sarily compulsory arbitration, but a U Supreme Court for Industrial Dis- li putes to which all great causes oflp difference must by law be submitted, a 'and the findings of which must be obeyed.

This statement was lade recently by Thomas M. MacDonald, Chief of the Bureau of Pubc Roads, United States Department f Agriculture, in urging a readiistment of sources of revenue so hat a larger proportion would be aid by the road user and a lesser ercentage from State or local taxes. "This method of raising funds.*' eclared Mr. MacDonald, "is rapidly rowing i 11 favor and has been adop?d in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, onnecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, ouisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Iontana, New Mexico, North Carona Oregon, Pennsylvania, South arolina, South Dakota, and Washlgton. Of these States, only Oreon, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kentucky had such a tax prior to anuary 1, 1921.

Cox announces in this issue of the Horry Herald as a candidate for the office of county treasurer. He will run on the platform of pood business methods in this office and the elimination of shortages. He had experience in the mercantile business at Nixonville, a number of years ago, when he was connected with the firm of I. B. Parker & Co. Later on, at the same place, he was a member of the firm of B I^arker & Co. For about eight years he has been in the employ of Burroughs & Collins %% %T 4-U /\ /vU/^r.4 -?? ^ - wiM^ciii^, bnc uiucM. uusiuess iirill in the county. He is a competent surveyor and has done more or less of that kind of work ever since he accepted a position with Burroughs & Collins Company. He is frequently employed to make surveys in land disputes where there happens to be a conflict of grants and land lines. He is used as surveyor under order of court. He is a son of the late Isaac J. Cox, one of the best teachers that this county ever had in its common schools. o CLUB BOY'S SUCC ESS The cash crop, alfalfa, threatened with weevil from a neighboring county and consequent quarantine, farmers of Fernley community in Lyon:County, Nev., began looking about for some other crop to grow for sale. One farmer recalled that five agricultural club boys had been growing potatoes according to methods shown them by the extension service and had harvested from 9 to 13 tons an acre. He was so favorably impressed with their report of the enterprise that he leased 40 acres of alfalfa land, planted potatoes, and obtained 8 to 9 tons an acre Other farmers became interested, and, in 1921, 300 acres of potatoes were grown in the community. o When to (Jo Home Mr. Meek and his wife had just settled themselves in their seats a1 the "movie" when three large, buxom women took scats in front of them, cutting off their view of the screen.

AUTOM # EXPLOITS TOLD BY FISH PARTY Judge Shipp and Party From Florence Have Experience at Murrells Those who have been reading about the Myrtle 3each and Murrells Inlet resorts will be more anxious than ever to spend an outing at one or the other place when they read about a party consisting of Judge S. W. G. Shipp, Henry E. Davis. Sam J. Royall and Eugene Oliver. These gentlemen made up a party spending several days at Murrells Inlet during the latter part of July, and returned to their homes from j the trip on August 1st. Judge Shipp, who lives in Plor- J ence, usually spends the summer i months at Myrtle Beach. For several i years past he has visited Myrtle Beach early in July and spent from I six to nine weeks on vacation. It is expected that he will yet visit the beach and occupy one of the cottages. His experience at Murrells Inlet will cause others to want to visit the fishing grounds of that section of the state. The Florence Times, which is published in Judge Shipp's city contained an account of the Judge's fishing exploits in its issue of August 2nd, as follows: "Returning to the city last night from Murreil's Inlet. Judge S. W. G. Shipp brought with him a record said to be unparalleled in the piscatorial history of that section?he caught two big bass on one line. Judge Henry E. Davis, Sam J.

Judge Shipp thought he had a whale ?but was more pleased with his double catch than he would have been with the larger inhabitant of the briny deep. The two bass weighed 14 pounds. Old fishermen at the inlet say that no one ever, within their knowledge, has caught two bass, at the same time on the same line. Curiously, these were the only fish caught on the trip that morning.
