Try to have good plants to start the crop with. o Homemade fertilizers are the most profitable for the farmer, but he uses less and less of these. He delights in buying what he uses. y ( ^ o Joy riding is harder on automobiles than the bad roads of the country, but by the exercise of the one the other gets in its damage, . .. ? t v/ There is always an explanation for an automobile wreck that is different from any kind of mistake or carelessness on the part of the driver.. o Coue's rules mean to be satisfied and content no matter what the conditions, but how could this be applied universally and the world make any further progress? It is dissatisfaction with things as they are that causes mankind to make improvements. o The man who is paid a salary may be glad when rainy and cold days come that will keep' him from work, but not so wit! the man who is paid for only what time he actually works. The boot is then on the other foot. o It would be well if some man could find a key to success and wealth that did not take in as one of the essentials, good oldtime hard work. Even the richest gold mine in the world has to be discovered and worked before it will produce anything of value. o The people of Lexington County got so hot in after their delegation in the General Assembly that the latter took steps at once to abolish the office of rural police men. Whiskey stills will have a better show as soon as the rural police are out of the way. o ^MW/AVAVV/J,i,.VV%VW.VAV.V.V.V.,.V.V.V.V.V.V/n,.V i FLOOD OF THRFATF.NINC. f FTTFRS 5 .... * A" ! There is much reading in the newspapers at the present tiiru; concerning the Ku Klux Klan. It is a secret order which has a secret membership and which has, as a 'part of its regalia, a mask, usually described as white but at times said to be black. It has enjoyed free advertising during the last year. The free advertising began when the New York World and a number of other papers undertook to publish to the world the teachings ol the other, its plan of operation, and such other facts as the papers could gather. Ever since that time the advertising has gone on without limit, in one way or another, whether justly or unjustly, the Klan has been mixed up in affairs at many different places in the country. To such places the big dailies have sent special correspondents to gather the news and column after column has appeared. XT~ ?l - A " ' iimuei wnat eise tnis publicity has done it has resulted in advertising the existence of the fraternity in every nook and comer of this wide United States. As'the membership is secret, or evidently intended to be secret, the way is made easy for anybody to act as if they may belong to it; and therefore entitled to take unto themselves the attributes of a subject or even the role of a subordinate ruler in the so-called Invisible Empire; and under the guise of such s THE HOEEY HERALD, CONWAY, 8, 0, FEB. 22, 1023 claim, while remaining in the dark, aim threats and intimidations at others who may be frightened and prevented from car- , rying out their rights under our visible form of government. The outcropping of this false claim to membership in the or- i ganization has been going on in other states for a longer time j i than it has here. It took longer for the rank and file to find i out about these things in Horry County. Since they began to t i find it out several months ago by readng and hearing stories 5 coming across the country the air has been almost full of flying j | notes signed, "K. K. K." t Under the circumstances, as they are, nobody knows who is 1 a member, and even known members have denied that they belong to it; and it appears, according to information from reli- ] able sources that under authority of the head body in Atlanta, there is being organized, or already functioning, a select mem- J bership of leading men in different towns whose identity is un- , known to members of the local Klans, and it is also said that 1 these select members cannot disclose their identity to members of the local klans except under certain strict conditions. .These things are mentioned here to show that no man can afford to become a member of a secret order that is being charged < with every wrong thing that is being done. If a man is law abiding and making a good citizen, he does not wish to be re- t garded as anything else but that. Should he join this order he j stands a fair chance to be charged with having posted a skull 1 and cross bones at his neighbor's gate. The community may 1 have a horrible murder and he is charged with having been re- ] sponsible for it because it comes in some way that he was a i member of the Klan. ] No matter how good the intentions of the order may be, no < matter how good the men who have organized it, and no matter what their zeal may be in the direction of putting down lawlessness, the fact remains that the order must enforce its rulings by force that is unlawful. They can warn and keep on warning but in case warnings are unheeded, then only force that is unlawful can be used to carry out the decrees. It has now become a common practice to send letters through the mail with threatening or intimidating matter contained in the same. In some cases notices are posted up at gates and on doors as has been frequently reported in the public prints. It is not definitely known that the Klan uses this method of delivering warnings especially in such a promiscous way, and in the opinion of the people, the Klan is not responsible for the flood of such communications now being sent and received in sections of this country. It is to be hoped that the matter will end with the sending of such missives. I 1 . .. i o HARDING'S REPUTATION AT STAKE Washington, along with the rest of the country, is awaiting tc see whether President Harding's next move in the vindicatior* ' of the men and women discharged under a cloud from the Bu reau of Engraving and Printing, nine months ago, will includ not only the restoration of these former employees t their former positions, but a public rebuke to those who i duced him to sanction their dismissal in the first instance. It has been felt all along that President Harding was deceived by Republican politicians when he approved the summary removal of these thirty-odd men and women from their jobs and in addition left them under suspicion of dishonesty. There arc many who have been willing to believe that the President would never have issued the executive order discharging these civil service workers if he had not been persuaded that he was ridding the government of dishonest or incompetent employes. Now that an official inquiry has cleared these men and women of all wrong-doing and shows them to have been the victims of a scheme to make spoils of their jobs, it is expected that PresJlent Harding will not stop with their mere reinstatement to civil service status. The general belief is that Mr. Harding ought in some fashion to discipline the men who tricked him into committing what is nqw disclosed to have been a grave injustice against innocent persons. Senator Caraway (Dem. Ark.) is generally regarded as having deserved the chief credit for compelling the investigation which nas exonerated these dismissed employes, and it is thought that his eloquent and persistent demands for their reinstatement as well as their exculpation will prove successful. Most of the discharged employes have suffered long periods of unemployment or have been obliged to take jobs at lesser sala;ies than 'they received in the Bureau. This is particularly true of the women, whose experience in the manufacture of currency :;nd bonds for the government, is of little value to private employers. The reputations of these faithful employes have been cleared. It is now President Harding's reputation which is in the balance.

Falconer from the faculty of Ohio State University because he recently uttered what they regarded a$ heretical opinons concerning the Fordney-McCumber profiteers' tariff. The attack on Prof. Falconer has served to give general publicity to iiis statements, which originally attracted only passing notice. Prof. Falconer is head of the department of rural economics of Ohio State University. He was one of the many experts who attended the annual meeting of the American Farm Economics i Association in Chicago. y "Farming interests were handed a gold brick, with an exi ceedingly thin veneer, in tHe present tariff law," said Prof. Fal coner. "When tit comes to agricultural products, America is an exporting nation. With a tariff ban put on mercantile imports from such countries as England, these other countries will turn ' their trade, including their imports of agricultural products, to * other nations, such as Argentina/' t For this frank statement of the plain economic facts Prof. Falconer is being hounded by Republican politicians. i FOUND CORRECT ro WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is to certify that representative of this office audited the accounts of Mr. C.
