THURSDAY, SEPT. 7~ 1~922 * * * ONLY AN EXCUSE % * * ************************** There is not a doubt but what the modem dance was born in a place of sin and shame, the name of which we would consider a disgrace to this page by merely printing it. The dance is condemned by all religious bodies of the people ami not without sufficient reason. In all countries on the face of the earth the dance has had its part to play in the downfall of people and of nations. As once conducted, it might well be described as & means of pastime and social pleasure, absolutely without harm to those who engage in it; but when multiplied, changed, denatured as it were, and made into the antics which now characterize the dance, it can be nothing short of the lewd and lustful pleasures that lead people downward, especially the young and inexperienced. Parents also condemn it. whether they are members of the church or not, especially those who happen to have a daughter, or indeed a son, J whose downward course in morals was marked by an introduction to the modern dance hall. Those of all walks of life who have had much experience with the effects of the modern dance are unwilling to paricipate themselves or allow their daughters to attend. The Herald cannot blame the fathers and mothers of Conway for taking a decided stand against the modern dance in Conway. The modern dance has not yet taken hold in Conway as it has done in larger cities and towns of this country. In the cities are public dance ha/Us where boys and girls who have never seen onch other before, meet and act toward each other as if they had known one another for all their lives. They smoke together, eat and drink together, and then they dance together. Fathers and mothers are fighting it there after it is too late. Fathers and mothers in Conway want to make the fight in time and it Is hoped that they will nip the growing interest in the bud before it bursts out into a fully grown tree, which might resist all efforts to make it die. Chaperones are nothing except a good excuse. They never have been. They never will be. We admit that it is better to have them, if even for the excuse. But. they cannot prevent the evil they were appointed to look after. As we have just said, it is better to have an excuse than to have nothing at all. This is all there is to the matter of a chaperone. o * * % HORRY HERALDING * * -X -X- -X-X X- X- # -X- -X- X- * * -X- * X- -X- -X- -X -X- "X- -X- -X- -X There are some jobs for the public that are thankless.

There are those who vociferate "Religion, reiigion!" equally sure that in the pulpit and its teaching? are the seeds ot' the millennium, and that we need but to "believe" to end all our troubles and solve all our problems. 1/ll.. *1 1- - l llttviiy, UlClf III t' IIIUSU >%1H) MUX their demand and ask for "religion in education" or "education in religion." These are they who want the Bible taught in public schools; these are they who insist the pulpit is a forum for political, sectarian, scientific, and sociological discussion. They forget, these enthusiasts, that an absolute separation of church and state is an American fundamental. Exclusive of Sunday, there are 144 hours in the week. In the usual public schools 30 hours a week is devoted to education. Why take from the 30 time to speak the Bible? Why not take from the 114 hours not devoted to education, for study of the Word? What is Sunday for? For what is a Sunday School ? Men go to church one, two, three hours in a week. Why use those three precious hours to discuss books, men, politics, wars, crimes, sex?all the scare-head stuff the radical "preachers," as opposed to the sincere minister of God, uses to "attract" people to the church? There is a time and a place foi everything; a time and place for education, and for religious instruction. The school is no place to teach the Bible, or religion; the pulpit is no place to teach geography or politics. Leave education to the school reintroduce religious training I to the home, give the church a chance j to do its work and the schools opportunity for theirs, and we will al! he better otf, better educated, and more honestly and sincerely reliir ' ious . o NEGRO DEMOCRAT Bill Godfrey has requested the Herald to say that he has been appointed to the position as janitor of the Horry Industrial School, a position which the old negro Democrat has wanted for some time and at last secured. Hill is one of the oldest and best negroes in the State. He has voted 'he Democratic ticket consistently ever since the oldest citizen can remember. o It is just 99 years since George Stephenson drove the first train that had been laid by a pioneei* British railroad company.

Better stop for afew minutes and think what it means. There are thousands of big, successful men who have risen to their positions of importance with scarcely any education. Hut did you know that a most overwhelming percentage of those men who have made iuuih.> Miuiu out aoovc ail others have heen those who have had the opportunity of college educations ? We believe we are right in saying that a boy's chance for a useful, forceful life is much greater with a college education to aid him. If it is impossible, dig you toes in the sand and resolve with all your might to "get there" in spite of this handicap; but by all means don't deliberately pass up the opportunity. You can't afford to. Remember, there are thousands of boys all ovei the country who are working their way through college without a dollar from home to help them out. And it is funny, but these fellows generally make much better grades and records than those who have everything served up to them. o STOR IN(1 SOUG H U M S Y R V PS Clemson College.?Now is the tinv to decide what containers will br used to hold sorghum syrups so tha these may be obtained before th< syrup making season begins. If syrup is made only for hom? | use, fruit jars, kegs and barrels: only requirements are that these be absolutely clean and tight. The nearer air-tight they are the bettei the syrup will keep. They must be thoroughly cleaned and sterlized with boiling water just before the i.n put in mem. in usinu: fruit jars and jugs one should lie careful to heat them gradually hefore the hot. syrup is put in. Sealed gallon and half-gallon tin< should be used for any syrup that is to be placed on the market. Syrup is easier to handle, easier to sell, and brings a better price put up in thi^ manner, and if it is good syrup, it j will keep indefinitely. The increase in price obtained will more than offset the price of the tins. The gallon tin containers will co>t around 12 cents each. They may be obtained through loral bard ware dealers or by co-operative orders through the county agent if enough farmers wish to use them. o The five Boy Scouts, of Columbia, who with their Scoutmaster, Charles E.

Evans, of Cheraw, goes the distinction of being the first cotton grower in South Carolina to deliver cotton to the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association. Mr. Evans la<t Friday delivered 188 bales of old cotton to that organization. Delivery of this cotton wr,s optional with him under the terms of the contract, but he stated that he wished the association to sell the cotton for him. "1 believe the organization of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Association means much for the future welfare of the State, and I am 1 \ i 1- A. 1 A V - ucngiueu mat lo me lias come the privilege of being the first grower in the State to turn cotton over to the Association," said Mr. Evans. Ho declared that he believed firm I v in the principles of co-operative marketing. Mr. Evans is director of the Sane) Hill F111 it Growers' Association, of Aberdeen, N. C., one of the largest co-operatives of the country, and sold over $100,000 worth of peaches through that association this year. He says that the results attained through that association have convinced him that the power of cooperative selling. The Sand Hill Association sold over $2,000,000 worth of peaches this year. o CHURCH REPAIR WILL BE MADE ?> ;> ________ A petition was circulated last weeK asKmg donations for the repair of the church at Socastee. Liberal amounts were subscribed and the amount raised to purchase the shingles for putting on a new roof. This is the first repair that will be attended to and after this has beei. finished other repairs will be made. Mr. T. B. Cooper, of Socastee is in charge of this movement. o An announcement was made by the South Carolina Cotton Growers Co-operative Association in Columbia that it is ready to receive old cot ton from members who desire to leliver it.

No doubt l'lactuations will he narrow until the condition report is issued . While foreign conditions are bad, reading between the lines, we see signs of a better demand for cotton abroad. American mills should take (>,500,000 bales of the 1921 crop. If the total yield does not exceed 10,000,000 bales it will be very easy to dispose of 3,500,000 bales to Europe, as this is nearly 50 per cent less than was exported last season. 1 Let us repeat: Don't be scared into selling much, if any, cotton for less 1 than 25c. Savannah buyers are now paying 25 to 380 points off October ' for Middling, with dry old crop cotton bringing a premium. o Can You Heat It?
