The worst a merchant can do is to fail.

There is said to be some honor, even among thieves.

The'State bond issue is advocated by all of the joy riders.

Mortgage interest eats up the farm much worse than does the

The easy way to break in any business is to give credit to

Words are easy to say, hence not much considered before being

We want and wish for a good many things in this world but
always have tp take what we can get.
o
Nine cases out of every ten where men are turned in for
whiskey stilling result from spite and not from a desire to see
the law vindicated. '
o
It appears that in some places almost whole communities is
interested in whiskey stilling. The one who is not making and
selling it, wants to have it where he can get it to buy and drink.
o
No private business could be run on the fcame system that
some of our departments of government are now run, and eve?*
succeed. There are too many having the authority to pay out
the public funds.
L O
It cannot be true that 'merely wishing for a thing will bring it
to you. The world is full of those who have spent their lives, so
far, in wishing, and yet they have not arrived. This reminds us
f the old saying which is to the effect that if wishes were
horses, all beggars would ride. .
o
The income tax places a burden on industry and thrift as well
as makes the man who is rich contribute a big share to the expense
of the government. In the one respect it is one of the
worst things that a government can do, while in the other it
may be proper. It should be changed so as to cut out the wrong
and keep the right.

i MARRIAGE IS TOO EASY ?!

had experience in life and do not believe in letting* their children
plunge into something that is so serious at early ages.
South Carolina is different from all other Staaes in the matter
of divorce and once the knot is tied there is no way to untie
) it under the constitution and laws of South Carolina.
Our State was also different from many of the other States in
the matter of throwing restrictions around marriage in that it
was many long years before the State had any marriage license
law.
In the course of time this marriage license law was passed
but without any teeth in it whatsoever. The law itself has had a
contradiction in it ever since it was framed and passed and
there has not been enough interest taken in this important matter
to look into the subjject and get the mistake corrected by the
legislature.
The law relating to marriage ought to make it easy to enter
Into this most interesting of all civil contracts, but things ought
not to be too easy. I fully believe that- consent of parent or
guardian ought to be required in all cases where either of the
parties to the contract is under the age of twenty-one years. The
9 \ it.
THE HORRY HERALD, CONWAY, 8. O, MAR. 8, 1923
^ I?I? MM?M? ?????
law of the land, as did the common law of our forefathers, refuses
to recognize any contract made by persons under the age
of twenty-one years except this contract of marriage. A boy or
girl under that age cannot make a valid deed for his or her land.
He or she may take steps within a reasonable time after arriving
at majority and set the deed aside. Why should the law be
any different in regard to the contract of marriage? This is an
inconsistency that ought to be corrected by our lawmakers.
The reason why early marriages should be avoided is because
it interferes with the proper education and training of th contracting
parties. Following the marriage the parties have to
make a beginning for themselves and are not under the guiding
hands of father and mother as they were before that time, and
they miss a part of that early training and instruction that they
should have in order to be able to meet the problems of life.
Under the law as it stands in this State today, a license is required
in all cases, but there does not appear to be any particular
penalty provided in case there is no license obtained, further
than the feeling that the law has said that it is unlawful to
marry without this license. No consent is required where the
parties are between eighteen and twenty-one years of age.
The law refuses to allow infants to make deals that will stand
the test by law, with exception of this important relation, and as
to that, it allows infants to enter into the contract which they
are not allowed to break -after they have arrived at more mature
years and are able to see the big mistake that they made.

What is history? Apparently too many purchasing committees
of school system answer, "a book, to be bought as cheaply
as possible." For it is certain that the children of the United
States are not all being taught from the best histories, nor even
xrom true histories. And a history that is not true is, much
what the old lady said of the giraffe, as she looked at it for the
first time: "There ain't no such animal!"
History not true, is not history, but propaganda.
History which teaches something else than history, is history
perverted.
History of the United States which does not keep forever
young the memories of the great men whose traditions are our
glory, is no fit book for school or library. For what did Washington,
Putnam, Wayne, Lighthorse Harry Lee, Nathan Hale,
Decatur, Farragut, Lincoln live and die if not to hold a mighty
torch of truth and bravery and patriotism and selfless devotion
to America before us all? Did we fight a war of revolution for

ciples or gain ? we fight a war in Mexico for cash or for love of
country ? Did we defeat Spain, put Cuba on its feet and civilize
the Philippines for American ideals or to add wealth to our coffers
? Did we send millions of men and billions of dollars to Europe
for wealth or to help make the world safe for democracy.
Then let us tell the truth in the books we call histories, which
are not historical unless they tell the truth, and let us see, all of
us, that the volumes our children study in our schools are,
American, patriotic, trutfe telling, real, and not shams, propaganda,
or colored by sect, creed, or political belief.
For in that way, and in that way only, may we be sure that
our children grow up good Americans!?Selected.
HIGH TARIFF TRIMMINGS
Men's shirts will be worn next summer and autumn with a
considerable trimming of high tariff. That is not a fashion
note; it is a disagreeable economic fact, which has just been announced
by the makers of percales, silks and other fabrics used
by p.hirtmakers.
Increases of from $2 to $3 a dozen are to be made in the
wholesale prices of percale shirts and those of other cotton textiles.
Advances in the prices of silk shirts will range from $3
to $6 a dozen, wholesale. The retail cost of a percale shirt will
be from 50 cents to a dollar higher than it is now. The retail
price of silk shirts will be from 75c to $1.50 a piece more than
now.
WILL COST MORE
Infants bom since the Fordney-McCumber profiteers' tariff
bill passed, last September, and youngsters who are older than
the law are alike affected by the higher cost of living for babies
due to this Republican enactment.
Hipbands, creepers, rompers and all other garments of cotton
or wool will be dearer hereafter because the Cotto n Textile Trust
and the wool Trust are cashing in on the new tariff rates on their
products. It is going to be more expensive for babies to romp or
creep or do anything else in clothing that is "protected" by the
Republican tariff.

to make out the best he could in his 1
illness, wheft he says the defendants i
came to his house and poked? sticks at 1
him through a, window; that caused 1
this window to be fastened and then 1
the defendants, who were on rhe out- 1
side, broke it open. <
1
Cannon, according to reports, lives 1
.alone with his two daughters, who
have never married. When attacked ]
by the three men, according to hisj i
story, after he saw that they would i
not regard his shutting his window <
and barring it, called *to one of the
girls to get a skillet of hot water and <
pour it on the defendants. This plan <
did not have the desired result and he 1
claims that he was severely hurt by
reason of the actions of the men at <
his place that night.
The Herald has not been able to ob tain
a statement from the defendants, j
but the report is to the effect that 1
they went there, not for violence, but ,
for the purpose of serenading the old
man. The nature of the musical instruments
has not been told. The
prosecutor claims that there was some
whiskey in evidence. I
The main thing that attention I
should be called to is the delay in the
execution of the law. Delay and disregard
of the rights of people to have
their prosecutions pushed promptly
in the courts, is no doubt one of the
causes of what we sometimes call the
disregard of the law. and it leads of- ten
to the taking of the laws into the
1 t M . 1 ? . .
nanus ot tnose wno are seeking its
redress and are denied what they
conceive to be their just rights in
that regard. When a warrant, charging1
a serious offense is placed in the
hands of an officer of the law, he
should make an earnest effort, to apprehend
the defendants named therein;
and when the magistrate gets the
defendants before him he should act
promptly in the matter and try to
render justice with an even hand and
give both sides an equal show from
the standpoint ?f promptness and
despatch. He should listen with reason
to the claims of the defendantr
for delay and grant *he continuance
if the cause is lust, otherwise orde?
the matter to a hearing: and if V
puts the case off. he should set a time
within reason at which he will call
it up again. By doing this he will
create a respect for the law in the
minds of those who apply for their
rights under the law and the whole
machinery will get along: smoothty.
