Let us go in for work and service as the basis of our enterprise
for the year 1923.

A powder puff is of more importance to some people than
fresh air and plenty of food.

Tobacco growers of Horry will succeed this year only by
hard labor and close attention to their 'crops.

The proceedings now going on in Louisana, show that law
and order will prevail against private vengeance and disorder.

There is a movement from the farms to the city that must
be checked before long or a serious condition will face this country.

The best education in this world is the kind that can be put
to use. That which is not used but kept only in the mind ot the
subject, amounts to nothing to anybody.
o
We must not expect too much from the things that we
labor to do, but be satisfied with the results when we have done
-our best and strive all the more to get what we want next time.
o
Let every planter in Horry County determine within himself
that during the year of 1923 he wilf produce the very best
crops that his land can possibly raise; and that he will use not
only his muscles but his mind in working out this result.
o
Accoiding to a report published in a Florence newspaper recently
the cost of keeping up a concrete road is very great. One
of the representatives from that county will oppose the big bond
issue for roads in South Carolina and one of his grounds is the
high cost of keeping up the eleven miles of hard surfaced road
between Florence and Timmonsville.
o
Every school in this country should be compelled to teach
more about the individual effort that a child must make to
attain education. There is too much of the plan of forcing education
into the heads of the pupils and not enough of the teaching
of self reliance and thereby attaining what the minds needs
by individual (efforts at reading and study.
o
In the matter of enforcing prohibition laws, some statesmen
have said thai the law could not punish the buyer of whiskey
for the reason that under such a law as that the buyers would
never tell on the sellers by reason of their fear of the punish
ment that would follow their own confession. There is nothing
in that idea of letting- the buyer and drinker go free. The law
might provide that the appearing in public under the influence
of whiskey would be sufficient proof of having bought it. It
should also be unlawful to give whiskey away, just the same as
Belling it for money.
o
Representative Upshaw, a Democratic member from
Georgia, has introduced a bill in Congress to make the buyer of
outlaw whiskey as guilty as the man who sells it.
This has long been a question for debate in the minds of
right thinking men and women. The man who buys the whiskey
and creates the market for the contraband product is certainly
as mean in principle as the man who makes this whiskey.
Yet the laws, have always punished the maker or seller and not
? U.. .r At '
vuc uuyn 01 ine product. The law,- up to this time, has of
course aimed at the source, of the trouble upon the idea that it'
the making: and selling- stopped the buying would have to stop.
We agree with Mr. Upshaw that the man who buys the liquor
should be equally punished with the maker and seller.
FOUNDED ON DEBT

jirosperity will be founded in this country simply on debt.

everything by issuing bonds. Everybody knows that a bond uone
of the legal evidence of debt. No matter how long a term
of years a bond has to run, yet it must be paid in course of timts.
It falls due according to its terms and must be met.
Every school district, every county, and every town in South
Carolina has its bonded debt. With such debts those communi
ties are building streets and sidewalks of one kind or another,
school houses that may be adequate now but not large enough in
later years. The streets and the sidewalks will be worn out ir
some cases before the bonds are paid. Some are putting in water
and sewer systems that will rust out and have to be replacea
without a doubt before the whole bonded debt of the municioalit /
will have been liquidated.
Then too there is a way of placing the farms under mort
gages, not only to what is called the Federal Land Banks, but to
other banks which are now being established to operate in tho
States, under a branch of the same national law and things
thereby have been made so easy to obtain long time loans, that
many farmers are taking the money when they could get aloii;>
without it. Not only must the public be put under bonds, but
the scheme must take in the individual owners of farming lands
all over the United States.
Do you wonder that we say that it is fast becoming so that
an apparent prosperity will exist in this land founded, not upon
the true basis of wealth, but only on debt?
Debt is not the true basis of wealth and prosperity. Labor
is said to be the basis of wealth and of course this is true. Labor
and production form the basis of true prosperity and nothing else
can or ever will.
And now there is a movement on foot for the State of South
Carolina to vote fifty millions of dollars of bonds for a Statewide
system of county roads. This is only another big debt un- ;
der which the people will have to raise more taxes to meet the
issue. Not only will they have to pay the bonds off when they
mature, but they will have to maintain these roads through al!
the years while waiting for the bonds to fall due.
We cannot favor this big bond issue by the State, and the
reason is that the counties have already made debts for the mak
ing of this road system to a great extent, making them out oi
clay and sand?roads that are cheaper in up-keep than the concrete
or macadam roads that will doubtless be put in if the bigbonds
are voted.
The scheme has already been partly worked out by funds
raised in other ways and debts have already been made with that
end in view. Then why throw away what has been done in pur
suance of the scheme and place another big debt over all?
In the opinion of this paper it is time to sound a note of
warning concerning the debts that we are making. Lets try to
build our prosperity, what little we have, on a more firm foundation
than that of debt.
WASHINGTON COMMENT
Detroit has the greatest group of automobile factories in the
world. Yet all the billions of dollars worth of machinery, plants,
stock rooms; all the thousands of highly skilled workmen, are of
no use to themselves or the world at large . . . unless there is
coal or oil to supply heat to give the power by which raw mate
rial is made into the finished product.
The United tates of America has many examples of magni
ficent public school systems. The finest of buildings, the best
of teachers, the most elaborate of equipment is not too good for
many a progressive municipality. Yet no school building, nc
teacher, no laboratory, can do much for a scholar if books ai\
lacking.
Hence a great many school systems also supply textbooks.
"Oh, let the parents buy the books!" says the unintelligent
voter of the unenlightened district where books are not supplied.
But why? If a city can afford to pave its streets, light its
avenues, supply fire and police protection, put in sewers and
water systems; if it can and does afford school buildings, school
supplies and school teachers, all paid for out of the public purse,
why ask the private purse to buy the books?
It is cheaper to buy them from the public treasury; the
more bought, the less each; the extra tax necessary to buy the
books is far less than any parent would have to pay for the
bonks bought at retail. Buying- books by the school authority
insures that all have books, that all have the right books, and
that the books can be, and are, changed when out of date.
Let us have marble school houses and magnificent public
school parts, by all means. But let us have books, first; books
supplied by the schools for the schools; and make it illegal to
use any books which can not pass an American History Truth
Committee too big to be dominated by any sect, religious, or
political.
PROTECTION OF CHILDREN
The arousing of the Nation over the increasing death toll
taken by the automobile is evident in the manv nronnanlft tr*
how fatalities shall be prevented. One municipality is subjecting
all arrested for reckless driving- to sanity tests; an occulist
suggests that no person be given a license without an examination
of the eyes, ar.d if glasses be found necessary,requiring
their use; traffic experts devise or way street systems; police
chiefs urge more drastic laws, and so on.
Dr. Henry C. Lauden, of Chicago, suggests that mathematics
be given a chance. "No one knows," said Dr. Lauden," what
causes accidents. We know of any individual accident that it
was because of too great speed, slippery streets, brakes whictt
didn't hold, neglect of signalling etc., but not of accidents as a
whole. We have no real accident statistics. If, for instance, we
could say that of five thousand accidents in a given period of
'
time, in a ffiven KPftinn u r?J v4.u~.. J
? v^? .? ^>.v? v?vj, tmct buvusuuu were
caused by poor brakes, we could immediately make it mandatory
to have all brakes examined monthly. If we know that of five
thousand accidents, four thousand came from failure to give, or
observe signals, we would make the law more severe on violations.
If we proved that any larger percentage of accidents involved
trucks, or taxi cabs, than the percentage of such vehicles
bore to the whole number of vehicles, we could insist on higher
#
standards of operation by sucn <
"Here is a great chance for
and the time to gather and v
statistics. And as a very large
children, on which the state spen
to good citizens, it seems reasoa
or a State activity."

lir.a and according to reports from
Mullins there is to be a large addition
to the warehouse business in that
town as the Mullins Enterprise states
this as a news item in its last issue.
"The promoters of the new houje
are William Henry Daniel and O'Dell
Lewis, practical men, with capita> to
carry the enterprise. The location
will be by the Seaboard track, opposite
the Yurboro warehouse, on the
lot originally bought for the Mullins
Hospital, on South Park Street,
and an ideal location. The Seaboard
road runs through the property and
this will give a decided advantage in
shipping the weed.
In speaking to the promoters about
their project, Mr. Daniel stated that
he felt that there was need of another
warehouse in Mullins, and
that he was willing to back up his
judgment by putting his money in
a good house.
It was Mr. Daniel's father, the
late W. H. Daniel, who first built a
tobacco warehouse in Mullins. The
c-nior Mr. Danie! spent his money
freely in advertising the Mullins
market, and the son, who has faithfully
carried out the business policy
