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

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

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

phasized the fact that no lambs a re
sold until he has picked out his best
ewe lambs to replace the old ewes
which are culled out each year. 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 preacher ap

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

tin who was driving: the car and Edwin
Bell, another occupant, were also
injured though not as severely as the
others.
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.

to me about the shooting. I arrested
M. C. Black well once about shooting
D. A. Duncan's cows. He discussed
Duncan with me. He seemed to be mad
with him. I would consider he was
out with Duncan. Monroe Hill has
not said anything- about the shooting
to me. Memory Pridgeon nor Mavberry
Hill have discussed Duncan
with me.
"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 vou seen this shell before?"

church ground at Grassy Bay church
early in l)ie morning after the shooting-.
(Shell marked.) 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.

The dogs were harnessed."
