SHOWS REASONS
FOR NEW COURT
Mr. Editor:
Your issue of Oct. 2Gth. carries
a letter from Mr. J3. G. Stanley,
of Lor is, S. C., opposing the establishment
of a County Court for
Horry County.
I am sure if Mr. Stanley will
take the trouble to look into the
situation he will change his opinion
in this matter. Our Dockets arc
congested without any prospect of
relief. l>ast week Court was in
Session from Monday morning- until
Saturday afternoon. We sei
down forty-nine cases for trial out
of more than two hundred on the
Docket. Nine cases were tried before
the Jury, and there was no time
wasted. Five of the cases tried has
i>een on docket since 1919. The cases
on our Docket represented business
of our citizens.
The proposed County Court is in
the iwte.rpst of the citizens and not
a scheme to benefit the lawyers.
The people pay the taxes and have
a rig-lit to have their cases heard.
The County Court would have
.iurisdict'fn in all Civil matters
where not over Three Thousand
Dollars is involved, except in land
vases. So pratically all of our
business could he handled by the
County Court before six Jurors instead
of in Common Pleas where
twelve Jurors are empaneled to try
issues of fact. Therefore, there will
be very little "business for the Common
Pleas, and we save the expense
of that Court. The costs in Civil
cases -are borne mostly by the litigants.
The officers of the Court
will receive no extra pay. The salary
of the County Judge will be
paid by the County, but the saving
in other ways will more than compensate
for that.
Mr. Stanley says that Spartanburg,
a large and prosperous
County, voted down the County
Court, a>nd intimates that this is
the reason why we should not try
it. There is no necessity for a
County Court in Spartanburg, for
the Common Pleas is in session in
that County fourteen weeks each
year. Two weeks beginning in Jan.;
three (weeks beginning in Mar.;
three weeks beginning in May;
three in July, and three in November,
while Horry has only two
weeks of Common Plea?s,?Quite a
difference.
I {hope that Horry will adopt the
County Court.

sources of monkey rum and tear up
the crude affairs at which the juice
is produced and catch the operators j
if it is possible to do that.
On October 24 J. K. King, of the i
polico force, assisted by Federal
prohibition agents, Stacey and Hanoison,
raided the premises of Joe Sessions
where they found twelve gallons
of rum, fifty gallons of grape
vine, one whiskey still, two still
worms, and two sets of piping for
Ftills. This operator it seems carried
si supply of repair parts, so that in
cfrse of an accident ,to his plant, he
would not be delayed in getting new
worms or new pipes from some hardware
store.
The still used was made out of
si gasoline drum, about the same type
that you usually see about the filling
stations and county stores. It had
? copper cap and a worm.
This was evidently V>ne of the
busiest boor.e factories that the rural
police of this county have ever had
the pleasure of busting up. At the

Ftuff from which whiskey is distilled.
It is composed of the meal and water,
or molasses and water, mixed together
in barrels and left to stand
the required length of time until it
i.' in the right state of fermentation,
and then when it carries an
abundance of alcohol, it is ready to
be run off in the still and the resulting
product is corn whiskey in the
one case, or rum in the other. The
process of fermentation is one which
"has had the worst said of it in regard
to the sanitation and cleanliness
about the work. Perhaps tho
truth would be much worse. Knats,
lKe. bugs, worms, flies, ants, bees,
butterflies, rats, mice, lizards, snakes,
blowflies, maggots, and even old ox
beads have been reported as among
the things found either floating round
in these barrels of mash, or appear
ing in the bottom of the receptacle.when
the officers emptied them out
At this Sessions still there U noth
ing reported as to what the officers
found in the barrels of mash.
The officers also found at this still j
thirty gallons of molasses, seven fer-1
ttvenrters, one flake stand, and one
axe. I

RAID HOME \
\
Town policemen, Addie Holt and c
E. E. Dusenbury raided the home of n
Ella Jones last Saturday and took
fifteen gallons of wine and a small t
quantity of "monkey rum." ij
The wet goods were found in a ^
smoke house. Armed with a search L
warrant, the officers went to the
home of the negro woman and found v
the liquids in the outhouse. e
While the officers were raiding the r
smoke house, according to witnesses e
who saw him leave, a white man went y
out of the front door of the house in

the woods. The smoke house is lo- t!
cated behind the dwelling. s
The officers raided several places q
in the colored section of Conway
about a month aero. At that tim<* it v
vas doubtless the habit of other rj
Mind timers to hide their wares.
This lot of wine showed signs of
having been buried for s6me time and
mly recently taken from its hiding 5
place. There were signs of earth on
Mie barrel and judging by these signs
he barrels must have been thorough- (
v covered with dirt. j
Ella Jones is the wife of Noah p
Tones and she claimed that her hus-| 0
and had nothing to do with the \
vhiskey business, and that it was \
I conducted solely by her. x
! The officers had good evidences of
her having dealt in the wine and ?
whiskey and this is why they raided
the place. :
HOLMES RUSS 1
FOR SPEEDING
(
Holmes Russ was taken before the j
town council the first of the week ;
! on a charge of exceeding the speed I (
i:.?, 1

Russ was driving a Ford car across <
the intersection of Third Avonue and !
Main Street, goin^", lie said, into the ?
ountrv after a car that had broken '
down.
At the trial lie was cleared of the ;
chnrire. Mo is jin automobile mechanic,
and has made a specialty of
I Ford car repairing for many years. I
When he is called to a job, especially t
by a man whose Ford will not budge 1
any further, he goes in a hurry. He t
is the doctor in such a case and he i
must hurry.

AUCTION SALE ;
On next Saturday there will be an (
auction sale at the Hoover place near ,
Green Sea, consisting of farming implements,
Jersey cattle, and farming
tools, including a tractor.
VV. S. McCaskill will be the auclioneer.
(
three hundred yards from the homr I
^f Sessions and there was a wagon 1
road leading directly from the house 1
to the still. One
of the largest outfits found
in a long time has thus been torn '
un and destroyed. 1
Sessions was arrested. At Conway (
ho was admitted to bail. He will be *
charged in the Federal courts, also f
in the fState court of South Carolina. r

A MOTHER'S GRATITUDE ,
Many a Mother In Conwnv Will I
Appreciate the following. ?
Many a strong man and many a p
healthy woman has much for which *
to thank mother. The care taken
during their childhood brought them '
past the danger point and made them *
healthy men and women. Thousands ^
of children are bothered with incontinence
of urine, and inability to re- ^
tain it is ofttimes called a habit. It
is not always the children's fault. In ^
many cases the difficulty lies with the
kidneys, and 'can be readily righted. ?
a rnr.'vay mother tells how she went
about it. ' f
lVlrs. J. T. Benton, Conway, says:
'My little girl was troubled with kid- t
ney trouble. Her kidneys acted irregularly
and botherod hor especially H
at night Finally I went to the Norton
X>rug Co. and got Doan's Kidney A

MILEY BEST IS
UNDER CHARGE
V. D. Johnson, of the rural police,
and Henry Grantham, of Galivants
Perry, made a raid last Saturday, ui
Galivants Ferry township, at tljjn
premises of Miley Best, a negro,
armed with a search warrant issued
from the magistrate court.
They found on the negro's placo
fifty gallons of a fermented mixture,
strong enough to knock a mule dead,
much less make fools of men who
night drink it. It was made up of
>T.*ipes, peaches, corn meal, etc., and
mixed together and allowed to sour
and ferment. It was not very sani
ary in its surroundings and contained
enough alcohol to make one
irunk.
In another house nearby they found
\nd took twenty-five gallons of a
similar concoction.
At last accounts no warrant ltfid
>een issued for Best, but it was said
hat he would soon be arrested and
ried for having this stuff in his possession
and for manufacturing the
>ame.
MACHINE WAS
TURNED OVER
As R. A. Dukes, Jesse Sessions,
vlrs. B. E. Sessions, and Miss Ella
Sessions, were returning Irom the

nore or less.
The injuries of the members of

SWEET POTATOES
FOR LIVESTOCK
Culls and Surplus Stock May be Fed
WITH PROFIT.
With Profit
Clemson College, Oct.? The bulky
nature of sweet potatoes renders
them less valuable for a hop feed
than for some other classes of livestock;
however, hops mav be profitably
used to dispose of culls and
the surplus crop, says E. G. Godbey,
Assistant Animal Husbandman.
Very little experimental work ha?
been done to determine the pounds of
potatoes that are required to make
100 pounds pain on a hop, or to determine
the pork yield per acre.
Alabama found that 3.13 pounds
of prain was required to produce a
pound of pain when hops were runninp
on sweet potatoes.
Louisiana ;was able to produce
1,664 pounds of pork on 1.52 acre?
of sweet potatoes by feedinp onlv
30 bushels of com. fThis was, of
course, on land giving a very high
yield of potatoes.
OUR READERS
MUST PAY UP
The time has come now when read,
ers of the Herald must renew their
subscriptions or their names will be
dropped from the list. In the Spring
, at the request of many of our readers
we agreed to carry their names
over until in the Fall in consideration
of a promise on their part to
, pay then. We extended this credit
for the reason that money was very
scarce at that time, and those who
, wanted to continue reading the paper
every week might have to deny themselves
of that pleasure if we required
the money at that time; so we listened
at the request of many subscribers to
keep their names on the list and keep
the Herald going to them while they
were raising the crops of cotton, tobacco
and food crops.
Many of these have paid up long
since and have their dates away
over into 1923, but there are some
who yet paid no dues and their names
are behind the list* It is those that
we are now speaking to and we want
each one of them to listen.
We want them all to read the Herald,
but it is out of the question to
furnish such a paper as the Herald
without pay.
This is a fair warning and has
been made in (rood time. Call in and
pay up and get your figures over
into 1923, now before we have to
take your names from the mailing
list.
While you are getting the paper
is the best time to make arrangements
to keep it coming. Listen at
our request and bring in or send in
this money to-day. The paper is only
one dollar and fifty cents per year.
Some of our subscribers have paid
for two years at one time, which
takes only three dollars. In this way
they insure the continued coming of
the paper and they save the time
