THURSDAY, NOV. 2, 1922 ^************************* * WHY IS IT, WHY IS IT? * 4c T .. vc************************ We arc tired always of the people who are forever wanting favors and never returning1 any. They are far from being the salt of the earth. They are like sponges that will drink up all the fountains of good nature that others possess and strip them clean of the last vestage of property and then gloat over the Tuins. This kind of thing is going on all the time. It is practiced in the office and work room, in the factories and in thd shops, on the streets anl in the homes; and in the communities where you live. The man, or the woman either, who is forever wanting an accommodation of some kind and never in position to return anything in kind, is worse than the beggars who fool you of your money on the street corners. This practice is carried on in regard to all of the little things that we use daily. The things that we use for pleasure and the things that we use for business or work all comes in for a share of this knid of excense. Evon knowledge is not .im iruine, for there are those who are wanting to eat from your tree of knowledge almost every day of your life; and the eating is done by those who cannot give you any mind food in return. In the community where the housewives dwell, there are the families who are forever out of coffee, or sugar, or molasses; they must borrow what they need and are never anxious to return the favor. After going through with all the little things then the big things come in for their share in this way of giving. There is the business man or the company of men who want favors 'to boost their new business oi their new product. When are they ever ready to return these favors in kind ? Never. Favors bestowed are too soon forgotten. It has been often said and with truth (that the men we most favored .became our. worst enemies, ' aad that without rhyme or reason. ? -Why is jt? i \<:Often {it is "the case that men pui rthemselves to great trouble in ordei to make a loan of money' to another. The one benefitted ought to appreciate it forever. It seems not, for /they refuse to pay, and when the man who made the loan sues for tt the man who trot the monev comes into court and denies that he ever got it and tdoes his best to beat his benefactor out of the amount by lega?l means. Again we say why Is it? Those who do this are working against themselves but they do not know it. They find this out sometimes but knowledge comes too late to do them any good whatever. There is yet a great big question raised in our minds about all th and still it is unanswered unless i is just human nature as "she" stil! exists, and we suspect that there 1the true explanation. o ft************************* * HORRY HERALDING * * * ft** * * * * -x- -x- * -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- * -x- * -x- -x- -/ Sleep is trie greatest thing i;i the live of some people.

The authorities will doubtless finally unravel the skein and show that jealousy caused the crime and that it was performed by a woman whose whole body and soul was consumed by the green-eyed monster. WASHINGTON COMMENT Washington, beautiful Capital City of our beloved country, is obliged to hang its head in shasie ween i's scnooN "ve rnenlJ nv:<l. Its Superintendent of ^c-iodIs, in his annual report, says: "Educational conditions in Washington have been more or less unsatisfactory for a long period of time. Anyone who examines the educational history of the city will inevitably reach the conclusion that educational progress is slow, not because of superficial or passing conditions, but because the present plan of organizing, operating, and maintaining the school ystem of Washington does not conform to fundamental principles of efficient administration". Those who read between the lines realize that Dr. Ballou doesn't feel like putting the truth squarely up to Conirress in so many words. Others pre not so tender of congressional feelings. Washington's schools are heavily overcrowded, many schools working on the platoon scheme, giving three hours' instruction to a class instead r c. Ul live. , Washington's schools are ill-provided with hooks; many hooks are old, many are out of date, many scholars share a book between them, some poor little ones can get no books. Washington has a large number of antiquated, unsafe, worn-out, badly ; heated, badly lighted, inefficient school houses. Washington house many thousand i pupils in temporary, portable schn<.|l.?ui-es Washington has not enough teachers, and those teachers are underpaid. And this is the Capital of the greatest Nation in the world, the Nation which founded, established, and has prospered under the public-school system. Washington does not spend its own money for its own schools; it must get authority from Congress. If Washington schools are a disgrace to the Nation and a hardship on sixty-five thousand innocent scool children, the reason is found in just one place the?Capitol Building1? and there is just one, and only one, set of men responsible; the Congress of the United States, sitting as a l city council for the helpless fathers and mothers and taxpayers of the City of Washington. o "I don't want to serve on any jury!' So common a statement is accepted as a part of our national life. No one wants to serve on a jury save the poor devil who as a "professional juryman," is satisfied with the two or Mother \ i T?~l \ ; X U-DCi Do You Reali AN eminent physician has s useless suffering on the pai 'for months before baby con ually arrives.

They say the pubic is a part of the judiciary system, md that the public should be as inerested in the jury as is the judge md the law court. But did anyone ever hear of ,a judge rying to reform the outworn out of late, cumbersome, and illogical pro edure which distinguishes the court >f justice from all other institutions 11 the country which makes a religion nit of efficiency ? Busv men, business men, don't want to serve on a jury because they fool that they waste their time. They know that the work they will there do in a month could be done in a week if the court was properly organized:! they contrast the leisurly procedure of a court, which opens at ten, lunches from twelve to two, and closes at four in tlie afternoon, with their own busy days; they contrast the laborious, roundabout, red-taped method of ordinary court pratice with their own direct-action method?and beg- to be excused. The jury system is the guarantee of justice in this country; but it works an injustice when it destroys time, labor, and efficiency because of a hidebound slavery to ancient legal tradition, which comes from an age when time was of little worth, and efficiency a word not yet coined. o GIVE ME BOOZE OR GIVE ME BONUS?LASKER. Either "booze" or bonuses is demanded for the American merchant marine that Chairman Lasker of the U. S. Shipping Board would create by selling to private interests all the people's ships for a tenth of tneir cost and paying $7.">0,000.000 to the purchasers to operate tbern. According to the New York Tribune (Rep.) Mr. Lasker says the Attorney General's ru'ing that "bootlejrjrinp" by the Shipping Board is unlawful and must me discontinupd is a "terrible blow" to the private | merchant marine he v/oul 1 create by piratically giving away the public merchant marine. "Bootlegging" '?n the vessels of the Shipping Board, Chairman 1 a-ker sa v in effect, was "absolutely hpre55 fry" to tlvj'v succe*?fid operation. Unless the merchant marine can continue to enjoy alcoholic stimulants, Mr. Lasker believes, it must have a financial stimulus in the form of bonuses to the private interests which buy the people's ships for $2,800,000,000 less than they cost. This pecuniary stimulant will represent an outlay of at least $75,000000 a vear for ten years, with a further restorative of some millions for reconditioning old and building new ships for the private interests. Chairman Lasker's logic is no. match for his enthusiasm. Lontr be-1 fore the Shipping Board ceased "boot-1 legging" on the high seas (while others were prosecuted for "bootlegging" on dry land), he was just a> insistent as he is now that bonuses must be given to the buye;; of the people's %hsn?? in order to insure the operation of the latter by their ne w owners. The Shipping Board wt.s then taking plentiful alcoho'ic stimulants, but Mr. I>asker did not regard them as sufficient. Only a bonus would do the work. Mr. Lasker holds that "bootlegging" though unlawful, was necessary to the success of the merch.int marine. If he can't have what is unlawful in order that the ships may he ^ J 1 ...Ml!

OATHS TAKEN AT A HEARING (Continued From Page One.) violated in this respect 'by the defendant, but only as to what the defendant may Jiave done on March 24th, or since that time when this warrant was sworn out; whereas a preliminary hearing being: for the purpose of finding tout if a prima facie case had been established in order to hold the defendant (for thd court of general sessions, the warrant might have been amended so as to hold Martin for violations of the law by him before that time.

MAIL CARRIER USES SIDEWALK , \ There is an ordinance in force here ' in Conway prohibiting the riding1 of . bicycles on the sidewalk of the town. . It is usually enforced. Several fines ] have been paid for using the sidewalks contrary- to this ordinance. Until Saturday, October 21, there ] had never been a case of the un'aw- ( ful use of a sidewalk of the town for , driving an automobile. If a sidewalk has ever been used for that purpose until that date, it has not been reported. It may have occurred in the case of some accident when a machine ran up on the walks and bumped against a window or a lamp post; but never had a driver been known to use the sidewalk as a place to drive his machine. On Saturday, the date above mentioned, the policeman, who has that part of the town Jn his charge, drove along; in his own car taking the Race Path the long narrow street running through the colored residence section of Conway, and caught F. M. Bryan, a rural mail carrier using the sidewalk for a driveway for his Ford car. The policeman watched the mail carrier while he sped rapidly along a section of the walk about 1(50 yards in length; then overtook him ard hailed him before the city court where a fine was imposed and duly paid. Just at that place the sidewalk was a much better place to run ihe . machine than was the middle of the rmrrow street. The middle of the street had been torn up by the pass' ing of vehicles while the sidewalk was, for the most part, as smooth as hard dirt could make it. The mail ' carrier was on his way back to tlie ' postofYice after making a delivery of 1 the daily mail out in the country on rural route number three out of Conway. FUEL STATION CLOSED DOWN The Central Filling Station which has been conducted by Mr. H. (i. Tisdale for the past several months was closed down some days ago and there is a notice sticking up 011 the door to the effect that the equipment will be sold under chattel mortgage contract on November 11th. Anoiner nonce on uiu n?iinc uuwi to the etTect that the agent of the Garage Equipment Company has taken possession of another part of the equipment under possession contract made with the Central Filling Station when the equipment was purchaser! and put into the business. The filling station was built several months ago on the corner lot of Main Street and 4th Avenue, on property belonging to Dr. C. J. Epps. It h.as been operated by H. G. Tisdale ever since until a few days ago it was clos| ed. The business handled gasoline and lubricating oils for use in automobiles and trucks. o Rural policemen and other officers of the law have been quite active in various sections of Horry during the past several weeks locating whiskey stills and capturing large quantities of beer and wine.
