THURSDAY, OCT. 19, 1922 w ************************** 5 * * ALMOST PERSUADED * * * ************************** What a man does in this world toward the advancement of the race in general, and his own individual advancement, depends, of course, upon the amount of ability that he has, and the energy with winch he can apply that ability to the work he undertakes. We are often mistaken when we measure the ability of men by the re suits achieved by them. One man will forge ahead and we say that he has the greater ability, when in reality, he had no more ability than the r?ther man who made a failure, but he only happened to have the energy and determination to apply what ability he had to the accomplishment of his task. n Wfc have often said that there are men working in ditches, and also in the lumber woods capable of having made the smartest professional men. They lacked the determination and will of other men, who are perhaps well endowed with gray matter to set themselves to the task that would bring them to the attention of the race. Just as a gold mine'may lie hidden beneath the rocks for ages, - while an iron mine in the same section is being- worked all that time, just so there are some of the brightest minds of all time lying dormant in the skulls of those who might have used them to the everlasting good of humanity if they had not been too lazy. There are all sorts of degrees in this matter of .applying the mind to the betterment of one's self and the service to the world, either in the present time, or as related to future generations who come after and en.ioy the work of their forefathers. Some men have the habit of talking about what they intend to do. In their minds they are always on the brink of carrying out some great plan that will have big results. But these are the men who have no energy, at least not enough to carry them through the actual hard work that it takes to frring them to success, many of them never even begin the task. They never beein anv of the numerous great things that they talk about from morning until night every day of their lives. On the other hand there are the men who never talk about what they aim to do. They do not have to talk in order for other people to know what they aim at. The whole world knows them by the results that they produce. There are too many who are .almost persuaded that they will do and accomplish, but they never get quite ready to go ahead with what they would like very much to accomplish. A task never begun is never finished. * * HORRY HERALDING * The successful life has no time to lose. o Life is just one groat passing from one thing to another. We are slow to npprr""'""'^ blessings until we have missed them. Kill the boll weevils by burying the old stalks deep under the plow.

The section of the county which lies between the Waccamaw River and the Atlantic would be benefitted to a tfreat extent by these developments. o Many whiskey stills are capture! and torn up without ^etvivc the who operate them. Stil's multiply in the face of the opposition that has so far been arrayed against them. Theie must he devised some more efficient means of putting them out of business and keeping them out, it* prohihition is to succeed like we want it. o BIG ROAD-BUILDING PROGRAM AHEAD. Fifteen to twenty years of building good roads lie ahead of the United States. Under the program which iie country has adopted there will be built, during that time, 180,000 miles of improved highways which will constitute the Federal-aid highway system and an equal or greater mileage of State and local roads. When the great job is done, the transportation' racilities of the country will far exceed those of any other nation, past or present, in the world. The highways of the ancient Romans, whose fame has come down through the centuries, will pale by comparison. Details of this vast road-building program are to be placed before the Highway Education Board at its conference in Washington October 2(> to 28, inclusive, by State Highway Engineers and officials of the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, to whom has i ?a i _ i ii. _ i_ ^ r i jft'n eiurusiea cue whir ui ;u.iiimiin and supervising the construction oy l';*\ieral Aid Hghwa' * . The ulnn will he presented to enable the Hoard to proceed authoritatively with its work of devising- aids for schools and colleges to which road-builder-; of the country are turning lor competent highway engineers. Officials of the bureau place the aggregate cost of the Federal-aid program alone at about $3,000,000,000, spread over the twentv-year period. They base this estimate on an average cost of $17,000 per mile. The average cost, in turn, takis into cousideration all classes of improved roadways frcm the cheapest to the most expensive types. Approximately one-third 'f the proposed system, or ''>0,000 miles of improved highways, already are either built or building. The program is a new one. Up to comparatively recent years, load building in the United States had been conducted without special regard to a national system. Highways had been constructed where needed without considering whether they would link up in the most effective manner with the whole network of roads to be spread over the Nation. Engineers had sought more to meet immediate and local demands than the broader requirements of the States and nation. The present Federal-aid road-buiding program, officials of the bureau state, will contemplate the construction of only such roads as fit into the national program and contribute to the national system. At the same time the roads will be so selected as to serve the most important local requirements. With marked modifications, the system adopted in building the railways of the country will be borne in mind in the construction of the country's new highways. There will be main lines of highway communication between ccnters and thousands of miles of feeder roads, reaching back into the more sparsely settled regions and into the rich agricultural sections, to tap areas whose oopulation and products will flow ovei the new system. New roads will be planned and 1 uilt ?thousands of miles of them?where they will fit in most advr.ntapreoush with the entire program. The bureai is continuing its research work int( most efficient methods of road-build' ing, including the character am wearing power of materials, vesist .... 4* | . | _ A I ing qualities ol varying sunsons, ei<\ md has amassed a considerable stor< >f valuable information all of whirl will be available for the highway engi neer of to-morrow, whom the Hoard i seeking to have educated in practice and modern methods. WASHINGTON COMMENT. "If the great daily papers of th ! United States are not controlled b ; n power behind, which uses their in fluence for private and personal rath er than for public and economic pui i poses, why is it that none of ther r carry criticisms against the honest of the press when such are uttere by people whose experience and sen i ices to the country entitle them to b j heard?" The question is often heard in Cor gress. Senator Heflin, of Alaba s; said in a speech in the Senate .*< t cently: "I am not afraid of the press, am the firm friend of the hone? _ Tt V*/-\ I- T J - -i jm c^>ii \iuu miuw.^ i wuum ni ij hamper the press in the discharge < s its duty, or take away from it an of its rights and privileges to giv the news to the people, and print tli - views of those who own the paper* 5 but I am against the scheme tht t some of them have of stressing. th 1 news of events of importance thi take place right here in this Chambe around this Capitol, that the peopl * of the country are entitled to kno( > about. Why is it that you never s? - a line about a lot of important mat - ters discussed in this Chamber?"This speech was reported in fe if any of the great netropolita - dailies, nor was the interlopation nine - by Senator Watson, of Georgia, wit 5 Senator Heflin'8 permission. Senate TVS HMLRY HERALD, CONW Watson said, in part: "The time is coining when the press will have to be free if it wants to exist This country can not live and tolerate a press which it knows is a hireling press. It will not pay for such papers. It will not advertise in such papers. People will not buy from those who advertise in such papers, and the worst of the fight is past. "When the espionage law W3S passed and so many hundreds of newspapers were crushed by arbitrary orders of the Post Office Department, freedom of press was more in danger than it ever had been since our government was established or since Charles Fox, Lord Grey, and John Wikes had made their noble fight in England for the freedom of the press, and Thomas Erskine had made his glorious fight for trial by jury instead of arbitrary directions of verdicts by judges. That time is cominn* a rroin 'Tlin fnvnfio ... ?I 111^, 1 uv, JLV'I VV/O V I Will I1V.I CU t arraying themselves? against each other again. That battle is irrestible. Nothing on earth can stop it and nothing on earth can silence the people. They are going to be heard, or we will have a revolution in this country." The foundation stone on which America is built is liberty. Liberty of speech, liberty of thought, liberty of political action, liberty of conduct within the laws of the land, liberty to worship God, liberty from tyranny, oppression, slavery; liberty of opinion. Take away liberty and there is no United Suites. A "controlled" press is a blow at liberty. A great newspaper is a public institution. Its owners, publishers, and editors have the American right of liberty to their opinions, personal and political; they have no moral right to attempt to color the thoughs of their readers by supression or alteration of the truth. A newspaper which suppresses truth, or one which changes truth to lies for its own purposes is no newspaper, it is merely then a mouth-piece. Great newspapers are expensive, they require vast capital to conduct, As such they can be controlled if there is interest enough behind them to buy them. But there is not money enough in America to buy and control all the papers of the United States. The country press, the smaller papers, the weeklies, the countyseat papers, are too numerous and red-blooded with patriotic American owners and editors to be bought. Against the evils of a controlled press the American people must fight, and fight hard; the penalty of losing the battle is to see this country a democracy only in name, an obligarchv in fact. In that battle the field artillery and skirmish line, the trench diggers and the advance guard is the country press. f The flame of truth is white not and a. :l I illtl 1 to evil. Lucky the people who read the journal of a man unafraid of its heat; fortunate the editor who can look his readers in the face and say "I keep the holy fire."?Contributed. johpTfTxiyd MAKES ESCAPE John Floyd, the negro who shot at his wife, and tried to hit also, his father-in-law, Nell Davis, all colored, it appears has made good his escape. For a time he lay off in the wilds of Crab Tree. He was supposed to have come out in the night several times after food and water, seeing his brother, who he had also threatened, and making his brother bring a message to the officers. Since that time nothing has been , seen or heard of this desperate negro. It is now believed that he made good , his escape and is hid away in some . distant place. He is believed by his relatives to be crazy. o i ^ ures Malaria, Chills, Fever, ; OUU Bilious Fever, Colds and La, Grippe.?tf i SEa You and 1 0 ^nnaEnp> . _ y ?ave a part in the s I of every telephone cal J YOUR PART is to n M number from the dire< y ber distinctly when th (1 correct her if she rej talk into the telephone the operator's as quickly as the calls ^ board, and preceding connect you (unless 11 1 number you ask for; t a nection until the calh u the "called p y answer his telephone ] e also to speak distinctl c the telephone? !i I ? - iv | vw|ici<inun u \P I Is necessary to satisfy * ' | * phone call?and two le I employ of the teleph< Z 1 "At You t- I CONWAY TE AY. 8.

' All cotton markets have been ad* C1 vancing this week clue to settlement s of the Turkish <|uestion, lighter offerings .in most sections of the belt, d< private reports of a smaller yield g than the trade expected, and a good a demand from southern mills. Sales in foreign markets have also increas- (1 od. This should be followed bv a bet- c ter demand from abroad. a The Consumption Report for September w,as published today showing c 495,344 bales, against 484,718 bales K last year. The total consumption of cotton during August and September si amounted to 1,022,748 bales, against S 951.777 bales last year. Exports to date .are slightly less than those of 1921. This is due to unsettled conditions in foreign coun- is tries. As stated above, sales of cotton in foreign markets are increasing, and exports from the Gulf ports have been much larger this month than last. Most of the crop has been picked, offerings are lighter, the demand good, and unless something unforseen occurs, the market should continue to work higher. o If you think legume seed are high think of the guy who has to buy high-priced nitrogen next spring.
