THUR S D AY~ AUG. 17, 1922 ************************** 3e * * WHAT THEY ADVOCATE t * * ******* ******************* Most of the candidates for conpress say that they favor many important things for the people of this section, and among them three, which they think are especially important to us in the lower part of this State. They are better drainage and improvement of our inland waterways, resulting in cheaper freight rates, good roads, and cheaper fertilizers. There is not any doubt about drainage and improvement of waterways being among the greatest things that we need in this section just now. For one thing an improvement of this kind that would give quick passage to the flood and freshet waters falling in the low lands, would eliminate a whole lot of damage that is now occurring every year to the crops planted in the rich lands of our river valleys. It would also improve the health of the people by starving out the mosquitoes and putting an end to the typhoid and malarial fevev that these insects are accused of carrying. By the establishment of inland ways of commerce by connecting up our rivers with the bays ~ 1 il. i- Al -Vl ?iiu ctuiui.s aiung mc coast mrougn distances that are now feared by all navigators, we would be able to pet our produce to the markets at much lower cost, and buy our poods and sell them for a whole lot less on account of the lower rates that we would pet on the hauling of these things. Good re; ?ls are just as important as improvement of drahiage and the establishment of inland waterways. In order to ke?p roads we must have improvement hi drainage Where surface and stream waters are allowed to stand on the roads or to drahi over them and througl the foundations, the roads do no last long, no matter hov good the3 may be to start with. This make: one of these things depend to i great extent on the other. Cheaper fertilizers will come to th< fanners with the advent of goo( drainage, the establishment of in land waterways making cheapei freight rates and making it easy t( obtain the fertilizers from the fac tories. Henry Ford is not our 011I} hope. There are other ways of get ting cheapei* fertilizer to the field of the South. When a man has been elected t< a seat in Congress it is then hi problem 10 find out how he cai bring about these things that h advocated and that we want s? much. o -V. .y. * * -X- * -X- -X- -X- *-X- * * -X- -X- -X- * * * -X- * -X- -i # 9 % HORRY HERALDING 5; * * -X- * -X- X- * * -X- -X- * -X- -X- -X- -X- -X- -X- * -X- * -X- -X- -X- * -X The Horn flapper is much dilfoi ent from other flappers.

Even that is just perfectl delicious. o The record of fruit .up* sales, fr some unaccountable reason. is 1 h largest this year ever known i 11 thi section of tho State. o Good prices obtained for tobacc is ne\er the matter of .iust lurk. 1 is more a matter of hard work an close attention to the tobacco. Those who insist that Conway an Horry Countv does not suit them i a place t<> live, have nothing elf to do except to move to some othc place. Larger warehouse* 'or taking cai of tobsico. re-dryinir plants, an other facilities, are the things \n must invest in if we would impro\ Conway as a tobacco market. o It is better to have a man wl favo.'s the right thing, even if 1 is lacking to some extent in abilit than to have the man of great abil tv who advocates the wrong thinf for us. o Now that the cooperative toba< co marketing associat'on is startet the farmers must, support it, or el? it will ft.*il before it can be sufT ciently tried out to prove itself.

Bettc drained lands is one thing they ca do to prepaid for like conditions in coming years. It will help a great deal even if it does not succeed entirely. M. o. wiLson TO MEMBERS Addresses Letter to Signers of Cooperative Tobacco Contracts Dear Fellow Member: When your association was organized, (55,000 tobacco growing members chose and elected your Directors and charged them with the huge task of building an organization which would bring profitable prices for your to ivicco, which would hring orderly marketing of your crop, fair grading of your product, and prevent for all time such losses from low prices as all of us suffered last year and in the past. No heavier task than this has ever been laid upon the shoulders of any man. and no men have ever performed so great ,n task more ably or devotedly than your Directors. They have increased your membership from (>5,000 to over 80,000 tobacco farmers, they have secured 210 warehouses for 'he handling of your product in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. They have obtained storage and redrying facilities to cafe for the entire crop of three States. They have secured loans of many millions of dol, lars to finance your marketing. They have employed the ablest leaf department and graders in the tobacco trade, and have substituted an orderly svsteni of marketing and a fair system of grading for the Auction sales through which you dumped your tobacco for an average of eleven cents. Your chosen leaders have accomplished the task which you set them, for today tobacco in South Carolina is selling: higher, and in our office we have affidavits from members who have received more from their advances by the Association, than for j their entire crop last yeav I The tobacco growers whom you "hose and elected to lead you have done this thing1. They have labored loyally, faithfully and continuously i for you and have changed losses to profits for the tobacco farmers of South Carolina in less than a year. One task remains, and that is the maintenance of our contract, a contract iron-clad and legally enforcable, . made so, not for the thousands of loyal South Carolinians who have supI ported their leaders in their great accomplishment, not for those thousands x whose word is as good as their bond, but for those weaklings whose dis1 loyalty or dishonesty may threaten the welfare of our Association, and ^ for its enemies who plan its de^ struction. Remember 11*21. and the years of losses and debt which you have suf^ '"ered under the system which keeps SO per cent of our tobacco growers in > debt, in a land of plenty. Remembr? j that failure or disloyalty now, will mean another long term of such years of debt and poverty as we have known 5 before. In a single year, by your organiza^ tion, you have seen the prices of to. bacco more than doubled. In a sinele s year you have substituted orderly marketing for hopeless dumping, and 3 have gained fair grading and profits' able prices in place of ruinous losses, ^ With your support, your leaders e ^an maintain and increase the bene0 fits which your organization is bring| ing to vou and all the growers ol I vrmi- Without VOill' loValtV if vour work and theirs will ho in vain j* Thov have dono their duty. Do your? ? and support the contract with youi v | association to lie limit. X* ( Wo count upon you to stand b\ your contract and to uphold your I)i rectors in their duty of prosecuting punishing and bringing to justic< j. those whose dishonesty and disloyalty v might threaten the success of your as sociation. You have charged your leader, with upholding our contract, but ii p 'his matter they must have the loya support of every member. Those who break their contract for the welfare of SO,000 homes, wi) ,0 pay the penalty as provided in th ^ Growers' contract. (i South Carolinians, through yoiu* To bacco Growers' Cooperative Associa tioii. v<>u will render your S'ate i 1(j greater service than any men or 'jroui ls . of me; , for you will change yourselve n from economic bondsmen 10 economi i tfreemen. Your duty to yourselves and t your fellow growers is to support ley ally your association, for its succes , is your success, its failure your fail 1 i ure. Those who are making an effort t destroy it arc doing so in order ha your profits may be less and thei profits greater. | If the Auction system is so goo( '| ami so profitable to the growers, wh j do no4 other handlers of tobacco auc it ion their product ? ^ / a 1 A .. ,1 1 i our luiure prosperity is ucpuniiuii upon your loyalty to yourselves an your association.

PARSONAGE IS PRETTY PLACE Has Well-Kept Lawns and Hedges of California Privett IS EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS Town Beautiful Needs Pretty Homes and Pretty Settings For Them Things of beauty are joys forever. This is the old adage that \se have i f ii I IL" V I VI HIIU MCIWVCU IWI Ull Ulffif vears. A house beautiful is a joy forever Even if destroyed by fire -and it.? place made vacant for all time, the pretty home is a joy in the memory of the owner for all time. It is the same with the grounds. To make a town beautiful it must have not only beautiful homes but beautiful giounds to make the setting* Strangers in our town see very little of the homes unless there is a beautiful setting for these homes. The visitor looks at the yards and the lawns moite than he looks at the buildings. This leads up to a word about the wonderful improvement that has been in the lawn at the Methodist parsonage. The congregation built the home on a lot that they purchased containing about one halt' acre of land. The parsonage was set in from the street leaving a yard in front, and a larger space on one end of the building and the room foi/ a way down to the garage on the other end. For a time there was no setting of trees, shrubs or green grass to show the really beautiful home that the members had built for their pastor. It was all changed after the coming of the Rev. J. C. Atkinson. He planted a combination lawn gra.v' that has done remarkably well on the loamy soil of the lot; he planted California Privett in hedges, forming geometrical squares, setting oil the cement sidewalk which was added [after the parsonage had been occupied for some time, and ma-king a i handsome border for the green grass of the lawn; anil he used hard | soil in making a better foundation for the driveway to the ganage. Tak( ing it all in all it is as tine a piece of gardening as Conway has eve; 1 seen, and it adds to the looks of the] .church property more than one hundred per cent. The grass is kept mown to the right height, and the little hedge? trimmed to look the best; they are not out of proportion with the res4 of the view. The Methodist parsonage is a good example to follow ii the laying out and keeping of otho; grounds and yards in Conway. 1' is not the purpose of this article t? convey the impression that there arcnot other fine and well-kept lawns in Conway. There are many. The purnose is to call attention to a numbe1' that are not being very well kept and if the owners will turn over c . new leaf and spend some time in planning a nice layout of these, there will be a much better lookinj Con way. o MEETINGS OF BAPTIST CHURCH Dear Editor: ?

Florence, S. C., July 3 1921. (Seal) Judge 12th Judicial Circuit. According to the records the company owns a half interest in the large tract of marsh l/ind of about 500 acres and on which is located the Farmers Fisheries Factory. The mortgage held by the Conway National Bank would seem to cover the fixtures and bui'dings on this land. The records show a judgment of Hyman Supply Company of Wilmington, N. C., who were not made parties to the action for the Receiver. Under this judgment tho? Sheriff of Horry County recently made a levy on ihe property sold, or/rather the equity of the company. Recently J. O. Norton, the Receiver appointed by the Court, has begun a number of suits against the makers of numerous notes for balances due on stock. In some of these it is said that contests will develop, the makers of the notes! claiming that the stock is of no value and doubtless pleading failure of consideration and other defenses. In the meantime the property is lying idle near Little Kiver and probably losing in value. o It was stated at the White House that following conferences between the President and Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt and Senatoi Smith, of South Carolina, the execution of the recent order of the Acting Secretary for the closing of the Charleston Navy Yard will be temporarily suspended, pending further consideration. It is explained that the order has not been revoked, but that it /will not be carried out for the present and that there will" be no more wholesale discharge of employes or curtailment of work a4, the yard under the existing status.
