Page No. 8 NOTHING WRONG WITH SEASONS Residents Remember the Many Rapid changes in Former Years VERY HEAVY SIMOW IN MAY April and May Are Cooler Than December and January What does all this mean that we are reading and hearing about the weather? In one newspaper article published last week it was stated that, according to one so-called scientist, the world had come round once again to the time when the sun might not give out the usual amount of heat and that as once occurring in history, there might he no summer in some parts of this country. Last week the people of this county arose on Thursday morning to find the weather almost cool enough for frost. There was no frost, however. By noon of that day the air was much warmer, but still rather cool. There is nothing out of the ordinary in the pranks of the elements this Spring. If you will remember it was just about as cool last year in the months of May and June as it is turning out to be this year in May. Tt is indeed the truth that April and May of this year have been thought to l>e cooler on the average, than much of December and January were. But oftll wro L'f iolr (n M-li'if \1'A c? > vt/ ?< J rvllf OVA II ?? t O I IV l\ l/V " IKlt ?? ^ OUII V/\4 V to say which is tlv.it there is nothing* out of the ordinary, so far, in the seasons we are going through. It is about the average experience. It was never intended that the weather should run the same. It is not in the nature of things for it to do that. B. T. Hyinan can remember when he w.ns a boy, living with his father and ' mother in the north-eastern section of North Carolina, that he was helping to plant corn one day and covering the grains with his naked feet. It began to snow, although it was in month of May, and although the weather Ivad been very warm for several periods before that time. It snowed so hard and thick that he could not stand the cold and you know that it would not do to cover the grains of corn with snow instead of dirt; and so, Ben had to quit and wait until the snow had melted off. Now a thing like this would be thought to be quite curious at this time and there would be plenty of men and women, of short memory who would stand up and say that it was unusual and they never had seen it happen before, when in fact it had happened before. Old residents of Horry County can remember when there was snow in April and May in this mild section of South Carolina. Mr. Hvman remembers further th.it - - ?i f* i.1 in the year ot iks<>, tne year or uie earthquake, that it had l>een so cold that the lioe eat up a cotton crop, or at least they had made such inroads upon it that on July 10th there was hardly a leaf in his entire patch. The weather began to warm up at about that time and he finally produced a fine cotton crop. The hot weather killed out the lice. Within the last ten years, at a time when Conway was fast growing into one of the biggest strawberry shipping points of this entire section; there was a frost on the turn betwixt April and May. It killed out the young berry crop and the farmers had almost a total loss at that time. It was enough to knock most of them cold on the proposition of trying to raise the berries in this section of the country and many of them quit and never planted any of the crop again for several years. Since then they have gradually gone back into it especially since the boll weevils came to destroy the cotton. PUBLIC IS WARNED AS TO SCHOOLS Washington, D. C.?William C. n om i inc?f ol In/1 nrojulnnt t\T lit v> ity iii^taiitu j/iciiiucnv *'? the United States Civil Service Commission, scarcely became comfortably seated in his official chair before ho found occasion to give warn in ir against the activities of certain individuals and so-called schools making extravagant claims as to their ability to further the interests of candidates for government employment. In a statement issued today, Mr. Doming said that there has come to his attention a l^lank form of contract distributed by one of these concerns which provides that the signer shall pay ten dollars to the other party to the contract to assist the signer in securing the appointment as postmaster. There is a further stipulation that twenty dollars more is to be paid f when the signer is confirmed as postmaster. The recipient agrees to represent the signer before the Post Officc Department and the Civil Service Commission. The impression is given although not expressly stated, thai the person to whom the money is naid can in some way help the signer to ai appointment. There is a "joker" in il j in these words of the contract: "11 within your power to do so." That is if the applicant fails and complain! the "coach" can say* that he did hi: darndest. \ Mr. Deming points out that all need ed information concerning examina tions for and appointments to post master positions, and positions in th< i classified civil service, may he secure* \ from the Civil Service Commission o any of its duly authorized representa tives, and without cost He says furth er that the examinations held u?ide | the Commission are open and competi LI tive and that the order of rating an* certification can not be affected b; any consideration other than the evidence of qualifications gathered by the i Commission through its examinations. > The Civil Service Comtnssion does not disapprove or desire to discredit legitimate schools whirh give actual, bona fide instruction. Such training has a general as well as a special value, hut the intention is to warn the public against misleading claims made by many so-called civil service "coaching" schools and by individuals who by inference lead applicants to believe there is need or opportunity for outside influence or assistance. POSSIBLE PROFIT SHEEP RAISING Charleston.?At the recent meeting here of the South Carolina Livestock Association, Mr. J. H. Lynch, Jr., related his experience in raising sheep in Jasper County. He and his father have been increasing their holdings of sheep ever since the rice industry became a losing proposition, as the sheep live on the rice fields the year round and require very little attention. Thpse fields supply pasture both winter and summer. The original flock was made up of native owes, but right from the start purebred lambs of one breed have been used, and at present the herd has been improved to where his ewes average <> to 7 pounds wool clip and all are nf* (vrtnd nn fctm \Tv T >-> V VV?

He does not keei) his ewes after they are seven years old, as after this they are not profitable. He has sold as high as ?2000 worth of wool in a year and has at present two cars of spring: lambs ready for shipment. This class of stuff at present is bringing around $15 a hundred pounds live weight on the Northern markets. One point of interest in his talk was the f.act that in 11)22 there were three times as many Mmvc rpt.urnpd for taxation in this county as there were sheep. Money in Small Farm Flocks Discussion of the sheep industry by H. C. Hahn of Aiken and others in the meeting brought out the fact that several men in the state are making money from small farm flocks of sheep and this is one phase of diversification which can well he developed in South Carolina. The year-round pastures which are available here viake it possible for sheep to l>e grown with very little expense. TRUTH SHALL MAKE US FREE Powerful Sermon By the Presiding Elder in Methodist Pulpit The presiding elder of the Marion district served the congregation of the Conway Methodist church last Sunday, in the absence of the pastor, Rev. J. C. Atkinson, who is recovering from the etrects of a recent illness. The sermon was intended to aid the recent converts who were brought inside the fold by the efforts of Rev. Raymond Browning, the evangelist, whose meetings closed a few days before. The elder took as his text the p; ssage in St. John, which quotes the Master in his exhortations when He said in effect that if they continue in His works then were they His disciples indeed; that they should know the truth and the truth would set them free. Using this as a text the preacher developed the subject in a most interesting way, so simple that the youngest convert present could see and understand. He first explained the meaning of the word disciple. It means one who receives instruction from another. Those who had been brought to see ; faith under the preaching of the Christ were now just beginning their journey along the road. At that time, as it is now, the quality of steadfastness would come into play if there w,as any in the makeup of those who had professed.

THE HORRY HERALD, MARION BOYS ARE INJURED (Marion Star) Rudolph Pace, Carson Stewart and Iyeon Smith, high school boys, are in Howell's hospital suffering from severe bruises and cuts received Friday night when the automobile in which they were riding crashed into the concrete coping of Reedy Creek bridge on PnllJ. - W ? * " 11ic viniuYaui/ a rt-n y roan.

The party was returning from the Junior-Senior reception of the Marion high school held at Gallivants Ferry at tilt cluh house of George 1-Iolliday. According to statements of the boys they met an automobile at the point where the accident occurred and were blinded by the lights. The car in which they were riding at a rapid rate was completely demolished when it crashed into the coping and occupants were strewn over the road. Other cara arriving at the scene hurried to the hospital with the injured boys. o The Law requires the magistrates of the county to turn in to the Clerk of the Court of General Sessions, ten days before any term, the cases which they have investigated and bound over. This is to allow time for the papers to be forwarded to the solicitor and let him prepare the indict ments for the grand jury to pass upon. plied this thought to the situation of those who had attended the revival meetings and had openly professed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Would they continue to take their instructions from the same source? Only in that way would they he able to know the truth and the truth make them free. He compared this situation with the system of a school. The student went through the grades of the grammar school and on through college. When the grades in the high school had been finished there was a graduation but the occasion was known as commencement; and at the end of the college term yet education had not been completed because the occasion of receiving the diploma was even there not only called but really a commencement; that the best and wisest men of all times, past and present, notwithstanding the extent of their experience or the number of years they hud been engaged, were yet engaged in the deepest study and constant effort and thought to find out and learn still more about the things in which they are interested. Those who had come in ,us a result of the preaching at the revival were now only beginning the course in salvation, and they must continue in His works ,and therefore become disciples indeed; that by this means they would receive more and more light and would know the truth which would make them free. The subject was handled in a oowerful and masterful way and what he said had its effect upon the thoughts and motives of those present.

"About two weeks before the shooting J. W. Hill talked to me about D. A. Duncan. He discussed the K. K. K. with me. Ho said he wished the K. K. K. would get hold of D. A. Duncan. He said he was willing to give the K. K. K. one hundred dollars if they would get hold of D. A. Duncan." Q. "Have you ever seen the 'long Tom' gun before?" A.

I saw the other gun (L2 gauge) at Monroe Hill's house (Shells as evidence with caps bursted or split.) These Shells were found on the church grounds. I shot this 12-gauge gun six times. It bursted or split five of the caps. It is very unusual for a gun to burst or split the caps. We shot at Monroe Hill's house. I picked up several shells at the church myself. Someone gave me a few more. There were more shells picked up by other folks. I was not with the bloodhounds. 1 heard they took the dogs otT one trail and put them on another.
