SPENDS MONEY
| AWAY FROM US
Things Which May Contribute
to .Present Practice
of Buyers
FAULT ON BOTH SIDES
Extra Effort Made by Large
Stores and Mail
Orders
. A
There seems totf>e somewhat of a
lack of co-operation here between the
general public and the merchants of
the place; not only the people and the
merchants of Conway but the people
and the merchants of other sections
of Horry where stores are located.
It is a noticeable fact during the
past year that the department stores
in the larger towns have been sending
out, and are sending out now,
more general advertising than they
formerly did. These large stores in
the larger towns and cities are going
out into the smaller towns after the
good business that is to In? had there
from the class of people who have
money to spend whenever they can
find the things they need or happen
to want and know just where tiiese
things can be purchased. The mail

of a pull than they used to make by
the sending- out of more catalogues
and advertising in more varied forms.
Both the department stores of larger
towns and cities and the mail order
houses above mentioned began to use
more and more newspaper space about
the time that it was generally con-'
ceded that the deflation period 1 ad
ended and it appeared to be time to
go after business good and strong.
It is plain to anyone who will go
to the trouble to investigate and watch
the post office and transfers, that good
money is now going away from Conway
to other towns in nearby counties
for the very classes of goods that
ought to be sold to these good customers
right here at their very doors.
Stand at the post office and see what
we mean, almost any day, when large
packages of goods come in by parcel
post from towns not forty miles away
while other bundles are seen coming
in from large cities farther away.
Further investigation will show that
the firms who are getting this business
are getting it as a result of going
after it by either the direct mail
advertising plan or by newspaper advprt.isintr
or both Dlans combined,
usually the latter combination.
This ought not to be. Business
ought to be kept at home by all
means. We all realize this and will
all agree that it is better for the town
as a whole to keep all of the business
here and not send money away to enrich
people far away from where tl'.ev
can do us any irood in return. v
These things are sufficient to make
us stop and take thought of the cause
of it all. The causes are not far to
find. The trouble is to be found on
both sides. In the first place there
may not be enough pride in the advancement
of home interests to make

the home buyers do with something
that is not exactly to their liking
rather than send money away to other
places for different and more costly
.'Articles perliaps. In the second place
there is a lack of "get-up and get"
on the part of the home firms in the
buying and keeping of the goods the
people demand and in the class and
variety that will insure the people be
ing suited, and they are not in the
right mood to tell the home people
what they have and induce them to
buy it by timely And repeated advertising.
They have not been keeping
up with the outside firms in the matter
of advertising. Perhaps they have
not bought new stocks when they ;
should have put them in at all hazards.
The thing which they need to
do is to get and keep on hand the
goods that are wanted and needed;
and then keep the stores before the
people by the right kind of advertising.
This is the way for the home firms
to make it so that they cannot be regarded
otherwise than as co-operating
with the home people to supply
their every need and give them information
to that effect by suitable
means by direct mail advertising and
by newspaper space.
It is possible to stop the habit of
sending so much money away to other
towns. The Horry Herald is willing
to help in every way that is legitimate
with good business methods.
The paper wishes to stand for home
and home people first, last and all the
time.

WM. FARNUM IS
A BIG FEATURE
Appears Here in Perjury on
Thursday Niqht the
23rd
STORY TOLD IN BRIEF
Wliat the New York World
Has Said of William
Farnum
The very name of William Farnum
svill pt+vaot .a hie: crowd to the Pastime
Theatre Thursday night, May
23rd. to see the feature picture, entitled
"Perjury." William Farnum has
appeared here in a number of big1
features in the past and by his masterly
acting of drama has won many
friends. He is sviid to be at the head
of his class in the moving picture
business of the world today.
According to press reports which
have been shown at The Herald office,
this story, which will be shown
on the night of the 23rd, is one among
the most interesting ever written for
the films.
A short synopsis of the plot follows:
Robert Moore, seceretary and head
clerk to John Gibson, wealthy manufacturer,
is called into his employer's
office and informed that he has been
made general manager at an increased
salary. It is the third advance in
a sinerle year. Moore feels that the
friendship of his employer, a lonely
man, for him and his family has had
much to do with his rapid rise, and (
he accepts the congratulations of his .
fellow employes in an embarrassed
manner.
Moore and Gibson remain late in.

ager calls up his wife, Martha, to tell
her the pood news. Then he has his
two children, Jimmy and Helen, called
to the telephone to speak to Gibson,
who is very fond of them. Gibson
remarks that he will take some
: toys to tho kiddies soon.
Robert Moore, entering1 the offices
a few days later, finds two men waiting*
to see Gibson. Edward Willams
is apologizing for the tardiness of his
employer and suggests that the visitors
call up the Moore home?that
Gibson may be found there, as his
car was in front of the house a little
while before. Williams, now head
clerk, is envious of Robert Moore's
rapid advancement, though posing as
his friend.
Moore h?ars the remark, but attaches
no importance to it until he
catches the sound of a smothered
laugh behind him. Other incidents
force upon him the realization that
Gibson's many visits to the Moore
home hrive been the occasion of gossip
in the oflice. A sense of annoyance
grows in his mind, though with|
out bringing any doubt of Martha's
loyalty.
On reaching home Moore asks his
wife if anyone called during the day.
Martha, forgetting that Gibson had
shopped, as he often did, for a romj
with the children, answers that no one
has been there. Just then the children
ran in and exhibit toys broughl
them by theiB father's employer

visit. Martha, surprised and distress
ed, explains that she had forgottei
the visit. Her husband, his mind nov
inflamed by suspicion, tells Marth;
that the visits of Gibson are beinj
talked of ,at the office and the clul
and must be stopped. She tines t
sooth linn and show him the absurd
ity of his fears, but he rushes out i:

ways fan the flame of growls jcal

Moore hears his name mentioned s
the club one night. He te?>rs into th
group with bare fists until restraine
!by Williams. In rage he tells his sui
posed friend that he is going at one
to forbid Gibson to come to his hou?
again.

is accused ?f the murder of his employer
and arrested.

that the prisoner, uttering violent
threats against Gibson, had gone
to find him. He, Williams, followed
to try and restrain his angry friend,
and found him standing over the dead
body of their employer a minute or
two after hearing the sound of .a shot
in the office.
Moore is convicted and sentenced
to life imprisonment. Then begins a
long and cruel struggle for Martha
and the two children. Finally, legally
freed from her convict husband, she
marries a man of whom she knows
little, for the sake of the children.
Rourke, proprietor of a gambling
house, proves as a husband to be entirely
different from what he had
seemed as a suitor. She dares not
leave him, however, for he knows of
her husband's imprisonment for murder,
which she has kept from the
children. He threatens to tell them
if she does not do his bidding in every
way.
Nearly twenty years have passed.
Martha is wrung with mental anguish
over the fear that her children will
be ruined by the environment in which
slip is comnpllpd to Icppn tliem. In
the prison Robert Moore has become
reconciled, and his engaging- personality
has won him the genuine friendship
of the warden.
Stricken with illness, Williams calls
n phvsician and is told he cannot live.
Then he confesses that he is the murderer
of Gibson, whom he shot when
caught in the office trying to make
away with payroll funds. He dies.
Pardoned and released from prison,
Robert Mobre seeks his wife. He is
in a daze. His mind holds but the
faintest recollection of his children,
and only as babies. He gropes for old
memories, and 1 ittTe by little they
come b*\ck to him.

story.

^nnths of the silly prattle of
most of the slick-haired toddle-top
demons of our day.
There slipped into the Park Theatre
yesterday afternoon one of the finest
bits of motion picture characterization
that has been seen in New York for a
year. And Mr. Farnum, although he
finds himself the central figure in a
story of life as old as the hills, gives
us a lesson in facial expression, photodrnmatic
excellence and all 'round
good pantomime that will cause those
who see him to once more take heart
"rid renew hope that the picture play
is not going to the dogs. * * *
The ro-'lly worth-while part of
"Poriurv" is the acting of Mr. Rarnum.
In America there is not another
man more capable or more talented
bv na?ure to act before the camera
than he. The wonder is that he has
not long before now set himself aside,
selected good stories and specialized
in the so-called "super-fPms," the
kind that are good enough?and have
sufficient power and appeal?to stay
on Broadway for months. * * *
His great "intellectual" head; his
human, tender, courageous, manly
countenance; his fine hair; his eyes
that speak to the lens; his lion?like
frame; his neatness and his grace.
He has them all.
He caresses his baby-girl, and you
wonder if it isn't really his own. He
sinks that huge fist into the midsection
of an enemy and you grunt of
pain. He acts. He is positive at all
times. You never wonder what he is
about to do. You behold what he already
has done. He is no poser. Oh,
for a few more like him! Or, perhaps
we should say, more pictures
with him.
His work in "Perjury" is worthy of
more than the usual amount of space
devoted to an actor, because he really
acts.

HEADING NEEDED
The State-wide school survey made
recently in New York State reveals
the fact that children in the small
rural schools are a year or more behind
children in the city schools in
reading1 achievement. Surveys made
in other States show .1 like backwardness
in reading on the part of rural
children. The cau&e is to be found
partly in the lack of adequate reading
material in small rural schools.
How bored the average adult would
become if he were compelled to spend
an entire year re-reading- a book that
could easily be read in a few hours!
I Children likewise are bored when they
must spend an entire school year
reading and re-reading the single
school primer, first or second reader
provided for them.

as it is against public policy."
Solicitor Blackwood Quotes Code
Solicitor Blackwell quoted the following1
form from section 385 of Criminal
Code of 1912, where "it provides
it shall be deemed unlawful for any
white man to intermarry with any
negro woman or mulatto and any
such marriage shall be null and void
and of none effect and any person who
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof be punished
by a fine of not less than $500, and
not less than 12 months imprisonment
or both in the discretion of the court.
"Any clergyman, minister of the
Gospel, magistrate or other person
authorized by Taw to perform the marriage
who shall knowingly and wilfully
marry any person of different
races shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
.and upon conviction shall
serve the same penalty as provided
in the above section."
Prnnpr
Solicitor Blackwood further said:
"The proper procedure will he for
some one of the magistrates to investigate
and bind over both the woman
and the man to appear at the
sessions court, where it would be an
order to hand out an indictment to
the grand jury who upon a proper
case would find a true bill after which
they would both be tried for what is
usually known as the crime of misceginnation.
"It is probable that at the trial of
the defenses would be that the couple
i united in the bonds of matrimony in
( another State where the law permits
intermarriages. This, however, will
be a matter of defense and presents
a proposition of law to be dealt with
by the court when the question arrives.
Some good lawyers hold the
opinion that one State is bound by
the public acts and legislative sanctions
of another State and what is
known as "the faith and credit" policy
should prevail even to the extent as
being recognized as a defense in
criminal matters.
"This, however, is a question to be
rlprMflo/1 l?v nnnvt rvv 4-imoI inrl/rrt
when the case is called for trial. It
appears to he a reasonable conclusion
that if it is unlawful for the races
to intermarry in this S:ate that the;cannot
he permitted by and accord,
ing to law to cohabit."

Daniel Montgomery. I told him T
had heard some bad reports and I
said to him that I believed them. He
did not deny it. I asdvised him to quit*
and he said he would take my advice.
I have seen him go to the home1:
There was no one else home except
a small boy. He rode a horse there.
Saw him go in the house and .in a

out and get on the horse and go

O. D. Anderson, sworn said: "I

He denied he had done anything
wrong."
J. S. Culesphus, sworn said: "I
know Daniel Montgomery. Daniel
and myself have talked about this.
He told me that people have talked
about him and that the talk was not
true. I told him that he better watch
himself. I am his friend and was
giving him this advice to help him. I
do not think he took my advice."
Bryant Cooper, sworn said: "I
