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.

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

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.**

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.

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.

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. <

CARTER iciVEK 'X '
! . 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

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.
