M M X %< U W U u U M U U U W w U U 11 U Q , ^ w^r n w ?r #v ?v^r w ?v w w v* we nave ueen expecting Detore now to write an editorial on the subject of "bad management on the farm and the results which follow it for the farmer and his'family. In the first place we know that sue ess on the farm depends upon good management jurtt' the same as success in any other work or business depends upon that same thing. When the farmer neglects his work to run off after false gods it is bad management. By false gods we mean the things that the general public would say constituted pleasure and not business or work. Often it is that the farmer Will lay down his shovel and hoe to spend a week or ten days at the sea shore; or it may be that he drops'his tools several times every month to take his dogs and go hunting or fishing, lying out in the swamps during several days ^md during that time contributing nothing to his advancement on the farm and his success thereon. This is bad management. There is really some excuse for the tired business man to ^et away from the store or the office for a week or two and rest himself "by the change, taking exercise at the hunting or fishing that the place affords. There is no such excuse for the farmer. He lives in the open air. He gets all the exercise that "his muscles need every day of his life. His going off too often in pursuit of pleasure is of the worst kind of manasrement for him. There are certain outside things which wlTl help the farme; we me/in outside of his own manual labor. He must use the work of nature which makes crops spring up and grow under proper cultivation; he must use the work of nature in making chickens. hogs, cattle, and the difTerent fruits and increase what comes to him if he wants them by their own energies. The farmer who neglects to . study this subject and get all of the advantages to be had from it is guilty of using bad management in his affairs. He can also mismanage his credit affairs. He can trade more at the store where he has a credit account than he can produce money crops to pay for. He gets in debt and gives a mortgage to secure the debt. Instead of living within his income until good management would make better circumstances for him, he goes in debt deeper and he finally loses the little farm which is gobbled up at the <eourt house by some man who has; managed better than he has. Just the same the share cropper manages badlv in his money affairs. He is constantly wanting good things j to eat and better things to wear for #iis family while his crop is in the process of making. When the fall comes he owes as much or more than his crops can pay for. He has to move to a new nVice and he^in new year over just as he did the old year?a late start. He is a bad manager.

They never get along except going in debt, o At last the people of Horry County have lost interest in the stock law. They have tried farming without the privileges of free grass and they get along just as well as ever, in many cases better. o Cost of Living Increases as Prices Continue to Soar. Steady increase in the cost of living and general unemployment are the conditions reported at the beginning of winter in practically every very section of the United States. In a statement issued by the U. S. n? -i t i . i 't'pai imem oi Laoor 11 is snown that between September 15th andj October 15th the retail prices of food I in twenty-six representative citiex advanced from less than one-half of one per cent to 4 per cent. This was a continuance of the previous upward trend. Along with the rise in the cost of V>od and supplies for the household 'here was an increase in the prices ->f clothing: and fabrics of silk, cotton nd wool. The price of overcoating is 25 per cent above the quotions of 1922. A $3 fabric, it is announced from New York, has been raised to $4 in the preliminary showings of materials for 1923. Dealers are attributing the increase to the higher cost of wool. The report of the Department of Labor told of increases in the prices of men's and women's clothing of all materials and qualities. The New York Journal of Commerce, in a review of the various markets, says: "Rising prices continue in primary dry goods markets. The demand for cotton goods was stimulated by a sharp advance in raw cotton. Sheetings, print cloths, and oombed goods in the gray are higher. Wool rroods are firm and rising. Silk goods have been showing advances and sales are steady." Meat dealers in Philidelphia complain that the packers have created Hl'tififiJil I? 4-1... i ?li? A- 1 ....wu> VVUUIWUIICI III City LO force prices to higher levels. The cost of practically every material and commodity that was "protected" by the Fordney-McCumber profiteers' tariff law has mounted noticeably since its passage. The Cotton Textile Trust, the Wool Trust, the Beef Trust, the Steel Trust, and all of the big monopolies which control basic commodities have apparently begun to turn their "protection" into big profits for themselves. No reports of increases in wages have been issued by the Department of Labor, and there is no sign that the thousands of workers now out of employment are soon to be given 'work by the industries which, it was said, would be guaranteed prosperity by the enactment of the profiteers' tariff bill. A Deserved Victory. In explaning the Democratic victory of November 7th, and highly approving it, the Republican Boston Transcript editorially says, among other things: "The best part about the wigging which the people have given at the polls in many parts of the country to the party in power is that the wigorincr was well deserved. * * * The party in power has neglected its opportunity, paltered in the face of t?rave and pressing problems, nlaved fast and loose with the veterans of the Great War, goose-stepped before organized bands of noisy minorities honeyfugled the pacifists, enacted a tariff bill that, as we have repeatedly said, is 'a disgrace to the Republican party and a menace to the nation,' insulted the intelligence and inflamed the passion of the electorate in many parts of the country by appointments to office that are indefensible on any score?for example E. Mont Reily as governor of Porto Rico, and a whole tribe of political swindlers south of the Mason-Dixon line. "Instead of leadership in the lower house of Congress, the Republicans have set up an oligarcy, consisting of Mondell, of Wyoming, Madden, of Illinois, Kelley, of Michigan, and Anthony, of Kansas?the worst of the I 'ot. Instead of resisting the impulent and insolent manner in which 1 this oligarcy has invaded the constitutional premises of the Executive, the Executive has in too many in- \ stances, salaamed before the invad- ] ers. In the place of 'one man government* at the executive end of the Avenue, the party in power has given the country a taste of misgoveroment at both ends by a congressional ' oligarcy as unfit to administer as it | was to legislate.** ?o WASHINGTON COMMENT Not infrequently the proponent of a vigorous Americanization Drotrram is ,answered with "Oh, what's the use? A few foreifrners, more or less, who don't understand us, won't hurt!" There are plenty of patriotic and sentimental reasons why "a few more r>r less' will hurt and hurt badly. And there are as many practical reasons. Bolshevism, Red propaganda, Sovietism, radicalism of all kinds, are not spread in America by American**, but by foreigners. Short of deporting: all foreifpiers, which is unthinknble in peace times, there is no other plan save that of Americanization, which will keep this the America of Americans instead of a try-out station for wild communistic and ai?arshistic schemes. An instance of the need of greater | vigilence iti Americtnltttiaii w?A 3b al hand in the funny rcparti printed in German papers regarding the -election. According to s*m* of these, President Harding Is about to restive, Governor Smith of New Ywk in to bocome president, the prohibition laws were repealed, the entire Congress was turned out -otf 'office, and a new one installed. If all German, FrernJh, Austrian, ind Polish children in this country knew of their own Tcnowledge, from proper Americanization education, the facts about this country, it is hardly possible that their parents and grandnarents, in writing to Europe, could fail to give a true, rather than a false picture of political conditions in this country. It may be argued that it doesn't make any difference if Germnn^T ?f V?-? ao ciuivi i7.> ncr newspapers a set of untruths about our domestic elections, but that is not the point. Misrepresentation and misunderstanding of one country by another, interfere with trade, cause friction, and sometimes war, and prevent the spread of culture and education, and thus of civilization. Not to realize that Americanization is as important to our foreign children and their parents, as education is both to them and to American children, is to remain unconscious of one of the vital problems which is today faced by the land we love. o?? TRIMMING TREES FOR DISEASE CONTROL Clemson College. Nov.?The time has now arrived for fruit growers to be thinking of the annual winter clean-up of tbe orchard for disease control. This should consist of a careful trimming, with immediate burning of the biush and other trash followed by a thorough application of commercial or boiled lime-sulphur spray. The importance of the spray in the control of fungous pest Has long been recognized, but the importance of pruning for the same purpose is often overlooked, says Dr. C. A. Lud ? 4 ? wijr, Associate Plant Pathologist. On this account special care should be taken to remove all twigs and small branches which are dead or cankered, because the dead wood usually harbors destructive parasites. For a similar reason all trimmings should be i burned promptly. Often a parasite can live over the winter in the twig or branch, even when it is off the tree. Likewise all decayed or mummied fruit on or under the trees should be raked together and burned. Where trunks or large branches are cankered, it may not be practicable to cut them off. In such cases the cankers cnn be chiseled out. taking care to cut away an inch or so of healthy wood to make sure that every last bit of the parasite moved. Such cuts, and in fact all large cuts, should be covered immediately with a coat of shellac, followed in a few minutes with one of] coal tar. Or the cut surface can bei illr>wed to dry and r? coat of white lead and corrosive sublimate paint apI plied. The corrosive sublimate should I be finely ground and mixed thoroughly with ordinary white lead paint at! the rate of one-eighth to one-half ounce per gallon. The wound covering should be inspected every six months or so and renewed whenever found to be broken u^til the new growth entirely covers the cut area. o A LIFE VOPLY LIVED Last year doctors from everv nart V I of Missouri gathered at Columbia to celebrate the 80th birthday of Dr. A. W. McAlester. It was the state's tribute to one of its fine old leaders. Fatal illness overtook him this week is he was on his way East where a distinguished honor was to be conferred on him by the surgeons of the whole country. The repect paid Dr. McAlester bv his fellow practitioners was evoked hv a life of distinguished service nohlv lived. He w.as a pioneer in "odical education in the Middle West. His efforts were directed to developing in connection with the statr university a medical school that should bring adequate training to the young men of Missouri. He was constantly on the alert for improved methods in education. Himself an eminent surgeon, he '^votod himself whole heartedly to his profession. It made no difference what the weather, the mads or the distance, if there was a call for aid he responded. The greatest possible service to humanity was his aim. He could preach unselfish devotion to hi? students because he lived it. The influence of such a life is not bounded by its term. It goes on i through the years in the hundreds bf < lives to which it gave inspiration. < o i Attend the land sales here next ' Monday. I I GOOD SHOE H< (KNOWN AS Marion We rebuild your shoes.

NEW TRIAL (Continued Prom Page One.) it to the garage of the Buck Motor Company, and got out to go in and see a man there about trading his old car for a truck. As he was about to ente^ a door the policeman of Conway arrested him. This took Carter by surprise. The policeman had then in his possession a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of Coca Cola, which he said he had found on the seat of the Ford which had just been driven up by the two men. A colored man whose name is unknown to Carter stated that he had seen Faircloth soon after the policeman had come up slip the liquor and soft drink on the car seat. Garter would know this man again if he were to see him but not knowing his name it would be impossible to produce the negro as a witness. In the town court, in which the two were brought soon after the arrest, Faircloth denied the ownsrship of the whiskey, that he had not even seen it, and knew nothing about it. Carter had not seen Faircloth with it and could not say that it belonged to Faircloth on oath, as he. had no knowledge of the fact, although he believed that it belonged to him, and that he had secretly brought it to Conway with him against the protest of Cartor himself, and contrary to the advice of Faircloth's mother. These proceedings resulted in a fine being placed on both defendants. Carter should have contested the case and brought proof to show his innocence. Never having been in a trial court charged with an offense before in his life, he simply knew not what to do, and let things take their course under the impression that would naturally be created in the mind of the m.T-nr. After the publication of the incident in the paper, in which it was indicated that the ownership of the whiskey could not be traced in the trial of the case, Carter got information about the whiskey. On the way over to Conway that day, at Red BlufT. Faircloth stopped to eo into the store of Buck Housand. while Carter remained in the car. When Housand saw the article in The Horry Herald, he went to Carter's house, ^vo miles from Fair BlufT, to tell Carter that when Faircloth went into tne store tnat (lay that he had taken this same bottle of whiskev out of his pocket. got a bottle of Coca Cola from the crate in the store, set the whiskey down on a barrel behind the store counter, and asked Housand to have a drink. Housand told Carter that he, Housand, was the man who had taken the small quantity out of the bottle that appeared to be gone when the bottle was used as evHo"ce in the town court. Placing the whiskey and the Coca Cola back in his I pockets, Faircloth prot back in the car j and came on to Conway without showing the bottle to Carter any more. The sentence of twenty dollrs as to W. Monre Carter was not enforced as soon as pronounced. A motion was made last week before the mayor 1 of Conway for a new trial of the case as to Carter. Behind the movement in Carter's behalf were several prominent friends of his in Conway. A showing was made before the mayor of sufflcierft reliability and strength to cause him to grant a new trial as to Carter. This was done one day last week. No time has as yet been fixed for the second trial of the case as to Carter but notice of the day and hour will be given later. It is fully beliVvpd that in this matter an even better showing than the one produced on the motion for a new trial will be made when the second hearing is held and that Garter will be found not guilty. The prohibition laws are tight, tighter, tightest?whenever they can be enforced. These laws are violated more or less some times by men and women, of whom you would expect i better; and by some of the people of! this country these laws are violated every day in their lives. This does not mean that th^v are ?"rrhf punished for it either. This is the rnno/M^ ???U?? ? ~ A * ' iv?ouii n ii,v wu fsay, tney urc ngnt whenever they can be enforced. Under these circumstances these laws, as they are now framed and administered, are calculated to bring hardship to the innocent in some cases. , Experience, we hope, will teach the 1 law-making bodies of this country [ the right way to frame these laws so * ns to take care of just such cases as this, where an innocent man has been imposed upon by another who was really the one to take all of the responsibility. In this case we find a man who has always had the utmost respect of all of his neighbors. He Is no whiskey carrier and never has been. Punishment such as the law provides for violations of the liquor laws can do no arood in the case of such a man. He YEAR 1 ISPITAI THE BEST) ! I, S.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS From Specialists' Correspondence With Farmers How can I get rid of nut grass on a plot 10 yards square??S. M. M., Sumter. * I believe the most effective method of eradicating nut grass from a plot of ground ten yards square would be to sp,ade your land deep, throw out all the roots and nuts as you go. If this is repeated two or three times, you can completely rid your ground of the nut grass. Of course, after the first time this is not a difficult task. The only other method I know is to shade the grass to death. On a small plot like yours this may be done effectively with hui'ding paper or by cropping with plants which make a dense shade throughout the year. Is there any method of detecting disease in potatoes before planting? We are anxious to obtain information ntong this line, because of the numerous reports regarding diseased seed Mot'itoes in Maine this year.?M. & C. Co., Charleston. Scab, black s^urf, and wilt can be detected in seed potatoes but one could not hope to be able to sort out all of the diseased potatoes in an infected lot. He would be sure to miss some. There are also some diseases which can not be detected in the seed tubers. I would advise that only Irish potatoes which have been "certified" for seed be purchased for that purpose. Such seed has been in melted rnri passed oy competent, disinterested inspectors as being within a small tolerance true to name and free from disease. Please tell us how to control root k^ot on peaches.?G. C. M., Charleston. I think there is nothing that can be done by way of root knot control when once peach tree has become badly infested. The only thing which is worth while is to dig out the tree and plant some other crop. Usually we discourage the planting of peach trees on heavily infested soil. Please riaggest varieties of grapes for our local markets.?C. L. N. is far above the violation of any law to keep him in the straight and narrow path. Therefore, it is the duty of those who make the laws, and the duty of the judges who enforce and interpret the laws, to make provision lor such cases. There is no blame attaching, understand, to any of the municipal officers in this matter. They but carried out the law as it is written. The man, such .as Carter unused, to the means to be used when he needed time in which to study and investigate his plight, was grabbed by the arm of the law before he knew it. He was dazed. He stood open-mouthed while sentence was pronounced instead of asking for time and pleading not guilty to the charge. He needed a jury to pass on his case but he did not know it. irgggjr ! w ?sh<x ; Prolonged wear is whal I j pair your shoes. Your satis! ;j I use the best of material a ; My motto is first class \ !
