CONFIDENT OF
LEADING RACE
Florence's mayor, W. R. Barringer,
in an interview with a reportei
of the Weekly News Review expressed
his confidence in leading in
the race for Congress.
That there will he a second race
he grants, but the ultimate victory
is practically assured. Mr. Barringer
is basing his predictions upon
reports coming in from prominent
leaders all over the district. The
growing tendency seems to be for a
change, as folks are tiring of the
wasteful methods of government and
their thoughts naturally turn to a
man of proven executive and econo
mic ability.
Mayor Barringer says "that in his
private and public life he has alwaytried
to be an as et rather than a
liability to his community. That, the
people now are being taxed until it
hurts and that no one should be
taxed beyond his ability to pay."
He believes in America for Americans
and to provide useful employment
for those already in our midst
before letting in the foreign horde.

THE HORRY HERALD
MEMBERS BREAK
SALE CONTRACT
Sell Their Tobacco on Open
They Sell Their Tobacco on ;
Open Floors Utterly
Regardless
Notwithstanding' reports from many
of the tobacco markets during1 the
past week as to the satisfaction being
expressed by tobacco growers who '
joined the Co-Operative Marketing Association;
it appears that there are
some members who have either broken
the contract and sold tobacco at '
the independent warehouses, or are '
wanting to break the contract and
seeking advise first one place and another
as to the consequences that
might follow in case these contracts
are broken. It is believed by men <
who have studied the subject of marketing
that these co-operative Associations
will do much for the farmers
of the South. Some of these men ,
.1 l.i. 4- U ~ ,?. ...:n
i*.\ |jt uuuui iiitu iiic iai iiici s v? 111
stick to it long: enough to give such a
plan a fair trial. Growers of fruit in
California and Florida have profited
greatly from marketing- Associations
through which they have sold their ;
products when unorganized fruit
growers had to let their fruit rot on
the trees.
The Herald has said again and
again repeats that the tobacco Mar- i
eting Association can succeed if the
members of it will stick together and
see that the Association is properly 1
managed.
As some of the signers of contracts
have seen fit to break them, according
to reports, it is just now interesting
to know what the contract provides
for in case of breach. The contract
plainly says that if the tobacco
is not delivered according to the contract
the planter will be liable for 5c
per pound as liquidated damages.
Ibis much is eas> and simple but it
means that a suit would have to be
brought against the planter and
judgment obtained against him for
the oc per pound. The majority of
the farmers are what; is known in law
as insolvent, and this means that they
cannot be made to pay their debts because
they can claim the homestead
exemption of $1,000.00 in land and
.$500.00 in personal property. Where
a planter does not own propeity
what benefit would a judgment be to
tlie Association?
The contract contains another provision,
however, which is that the Association
shall be entitled to an In
junction order from the Court to prevent
any farmer from disposing of
the tobacco other than through the
co-operative warehouse. This means
that when a planter has sold a part
of his tobacco and intends to dispose
of the remainder that the Association
may require an order from the Judge
which will put him in contempt of
Court by selling otherwise than provided
in the contract.
This is about all there is to it.
No man should sign a contract unless
he means to fulfill it. Men who
do oth^rwho than keep their contracts
aie those who do less good in their
community. When a man signs a contract
it is his duty to fulfill it. The
moral law, if no other, requires him
to comply with his obligations.
o
He believes that Henry Forci
should have had Muscle Shoals long
ago and will work toward giving it
to him with the full assurance tha'
he will always sell better fertilizer
to the farmer at a cheap rate.
He advocates strongly Federal aid
in the building of good roads, proper
drainage of our lowlands and pledges
his efforts toward the passage
of a law that will give to our Southern
farmer a more edequate system
of long time loans, helping them
in the growing and marketing of
their crops.
Mayor Karranger says "that if
elected he will retire from his present
activities and devote his entire
energy and time to further service
of hi^ fellow countrymen."?Florence

Stories still continue ;is to tin
certainty of tobacco prices on the
warehouse floors where the sales
are being conducted by the auction
plan. Another story was going the 1
rounds here last week of a pile of
tobacco sold on one row at less than '
ten cents, then placed over into
another row, unknown to the buyers
and warehouse management and
resold during the same sale, bringing
over forty cents the pound. Truly
there must be some buyers who do
not know the grades of tobacco.
This did not happen in the Conway
market.

The best of roads cannot hold up
under the strain of such weather as
this section has had during the past
three weeks. At. one point on the
road to Myrtle Beach, at a place
where there has been no trouble the
entire year, as many as twenty-five
automobiles and trucks together sot
stuck in a single day and had to
be pulled out by men and horses.
* *
Good work has been done on the
public roads during the last three
weeks at places where the rains have
softened up the surface and new earth
was required to fill the ruts. The?
Herald has often called attention to
the fact that while good roads in the
start are very important, that the
keeping of them" in good condition
is also very neccessary.

NEW JOB PRESS j
FEEDS ITSELF I
Eliminates Finger Marks and
Insures a Better Job
of Printing
FIRST IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Printer Attends to Other Work
While This Unit is
Printing
The Herald installed last week one
i>f the latest printing units to be
had. It is a Chandler & Price
Craftsman job press of larger size
than the other job presses in the
shop, and a Miller feeder. The two
machines -nake one unit which feeds,
prints and stacks the finished job
work ready to be padded or delivered.
It can be run at variable speeds,
as required for different kinds of
- * A
work up to i,suu per nour. Alter
placing the form 011 the press, the
printer* can attend to other work in
the plant while the machine does
the rest.
It is great addition to the job |
printing plant of the Herald. It
enables the shop to turn out work
much quicker and have it ready to
deliver to suit the needs of business
men. It saves the time of a man
to feed it.
The unit accomplishes work that
is superior to that which the shop
could turn out before. It eliminates
ihc finger marks, always a source
of annoyance and trouble with hand
fed work. he press being a great
improvement over the models used
before, the ink distribution being
accomplished by improved methods
and attachments, the work is more
uniform and shows a better appearance.
The work turned out at the
Herald shop has been good already
before the addition of this new unit.
With the new unit installed the work
can be done quickly and certainly
the equal of any that can be produced
anywhere.
Customers of the Herald are welcome
to call and see the new machine
at work.
The Herald was the first paper in
South Carolina to purchase one of
these latest and improved machines
made by the Chandler & Price Company
and known as their Craftsman
press.
One of the longest sprees in history
was attributed today to a former
bartender. August Detering,
by his wife, Hose, who told a
Brooklyn magistrate her husband got
drunk the day prohibition went into
effect and had been drunk ever since.
I Before prohibition Detering never
touched a drop, the wife declared.
