It is useless to base the movement on anything else. o The bonded debt of the territory comprised in the Town of Conway is growing large, and still the streets are unpaved. This is one reason why the streets are not paved already. o :? Farmers who have gotten out of the credit class are the sue cesstui ones who were willing to work hard and go without things rather than go into debt and mortgage the farm. o Just as debt, with its consequent interest will eat up a man's substance and ruin his prospects, just so a political division maj become overburdened with debt and face ruin. This is our fear o One thing not much taught in the schools of this county is accuracy in all things. How can you expect pupils to be taught this great quality by teachers who either cannot, or who will not take the trouble to speak and write the English language correctly. Read some of the letters written by teachers and se< vrhat you think. o An article in the last issue of this paper had something to saj about the high rate of taxation running industries and factories away. One reason for the high levy in district number nineteer is the school bonds and other things which the people have gone into debt for. The growing demands of the government mus be met in some other way than by the imposition of a still high er tax on visible property. o /AW.V.VVW.\V.V/.V.V/.VAV\V.V.N^V.,.W.V.V.,.V.V.,1 J GIVEN A CLEAN SLATE j WAV.VAV.V.V/AVV.V/.VAVV^.V.V.V.'.'.'.V/.'.V/.'.V.V. The superintendent and captain of the guard, at the State pen have both been given a clean slate by the convicts who wer< called to testify in the investigation conducted by the Legisla tive jcommittee recently. Some of the convicts called on to give their views, under oath about affairs at the penitentiary, are life termers for murder others are there for a long term of years for manslaughter, an< it does not appear that any convicts serving terms for forgery larceny, and the like were asked to testify. Those who wpvp lected to give testimony were some that bear a good reputatioi for truth and veracity. Statements were made in some instances which would sho\ that the witness testifying has some grievance against the boss es at the pen, but this is nothing beyond what may reasonabl be expected in all prisons at all times. Some of the men wh testified have been trusties for many years. Reading what they said as it appeared in the newspapers o last week, one is forced to the conclusion, at once, that all of th fuss and trouble over the affairs at the pen is without any soli* foundation. It all comes from the high motives of the men wh have seen fit to set themselves up as being high and above thos who have actual charge of the lives of the prisoners. There was and *is not yet anything to it. As we have alread said it takes force to control a colony of criminals. The prisor erg in the State pen are nothing else, of course not. What ca be expected of them. The prisoners, each and every one of them, are men and wom en who never learned to control themselves. Acting from im ? pulse, prejudice, passions, they violated th laws of their Stat and were lawfully tried and convicted for their transgression; They are the same persons in the pen that they were in thei THE HORRY HERALD, CONWAY, S. 0, MAR. 1, 1923 former lives. No operations have been performed to relieve the 1 pressure on their brains or spinal chords, even if that could have * done any good. So, what does it all amount to? Nothing. ARE GREAT?MITATORS 1 According to Richard Carroll who addressed a mixed audience j of whites and blacks in Conway recently, the white 'man should < be careful what he does before the necrroes. for the reason that 1 the negro tries to ape the white man and do things like the white man does. There is much food for thought in the state- i ment. ] We have the colored masonics, the colored K. of P., and the j colored whatnots, all coming along in the wake of similar things j that the white man has organized. i New orders will doubtless come in for imitation and there is J room for a lot of trouble in that. , Like Richard Carroll we say, that white men should be careful in setting an example for the other race. Like monkeys following the motions of their master, they i want to be like the white man, and to that end they will do j things like those he does in their presence. < '' v~* M TAX-EXEMPT SECURITIES ' ; Among the proponents of the constitutional amendment prohibiting exemption of state and municipal securities from taxation is Albert D. Lasker, chairman of the United States Shipping Board. In an interview with a Washington correspondent Mr. Lasker spoke of the practice of issuing such securities in this fashion: "It is the most vicious thing that has ever entered into our national economic life. It will soon be worse than the war debt." In testifying before a Congressional committee, some months ago, Mr. Lasker explained that the cost of giving bonuses to the owners and operators of ships favored by the President's subsidy bill would be -52,000,000 a year. The items of this total were: bill would be $52,000,000 a year. The items of this total were: Customs, $30,000,000; tonnage allowances, $4,000,000; income All of these are charges against the taxpayers of the country, but the item of income tax represnts the annual amount of the exemption from this form of taxation the Shipping Trust would receive under the ship bonus bill for >whose passage Mr. Lasker is waging an incessant propaganda at an expense of many thousands of dollars of the people's money. i Mr. Lasker objects to tax exemptions for states and cities but is perfectly willing to give such exemptions to private interests. ? , WILSON LEGISLATION Legislation passed under the Wilson administration and still operative has served to mitigate to some extent the effects of the nru i i r~? _ i ii- - r* t ?a a i ne r euerai iveserve ana me rarm juoan act are two measures incompetence and indifference of the present Republican regime. ' which have been of value to agriculture in spite of the failure of , Republican officials to administer them fairly and efficiently. r Some 74,000 loans, aggregating $224,301,400 were made by the 12 Federal farm loan banks in 1922. Almost a billion dollars have been lent to farmers by these banks since their in. auguration. ! BATHING TAX INCREASED Manufacturers of men's bathing suits?which are covered by 5 big specific and ad valorem duties in the Fordney-McCumber profiteers' tariff bill?are making these articles much dearer, though no better, for next summer. The advances have already r amounted to $2.50 a dozen for suits of cotton mixtures. The ? increase for worsteds is somewhat greater. By the time these 1 bathing suits are sold by the retailer these increases will be 75 * cents and $1 each. t PAY UP TODAY BEGINS WORK AGAIN Send in the renewal for this paper T, k on the new buiidings of _ today before we have to send you a ? , _ _ , . , notice.
