f. ]. SHERWOOD OF HORRY AN.
NOUNCES FOR CONGRESS.
Prmoising Young Attorney of 'Inde-
pedent Republic" and Former
Dillon County Man is in
i'm the Race.

Mr.. Sherwood was born in the Lit
tie Rock section of what was then
county, but which is now Dillon
county, 81 years ago. His father, T.
C. Sherwood, is one of Dillon coun-
tvs most influential farmers. After
the completion of his college educa-
ton, he moved to Horny county at
the age of twenty-five years to become
private secretary to the then Congress
man of he Sixth Congressional Dis
trict, Hon. Robt. B. Scarborough, but
because of the failure of Mr.. Scar
borough to stand for reelection in the
summer of 1914, Mr.. Sherwood re-
manned in the law offices of Mr.. Scar
borough, under whom he read law
for a number of years. While he was
still with Mr.. Scarborough, in the
fall of 1905, he assumed the Editor
ship of The Field, local paper a.
Conway. and continued as its Editor
until the fall of 1911, when his life
long yearning to practice law result
ed in his determination to complete
his legal education and devote his
time to the practice law. And, not
withstanding that he was then near
ing his 30th birthday, and had a
wife and one child, he burned the
bridges behind him and entered the
law school of the University of South
Carolina, where he remained until
December 1912, when he was admit
ted to the practice of law by the
Supreme Court of South Carolina
since which time he has devoted his
time exclusively to the practice of
the profession, at Conway.
During the summer of 1912, when
State politics was at it's highest heat,
Mr.. Sherwood yielded to the sugges-
tion of his Horny friends and enter
ed the race for the House of Repre-
sentatives. Notwithstanding that
there was nine candidates in the
field, all of whom were native born
Horryites, and that the political lines
were tightly drawn, he was elected BY
a handsome majority, and served
one term in the lower house, as
Horry's Representative, at the end
of which time he voluntarily retired.
Upon the converting of the Legisla-
ture in February of 1913, Mr.. Sher-
wood was appointed by Speaker Of
the House, Hon. Mendal l.. Smith,
as a member of the Judiciary Com
mittee, Notwithstanding that he h&
been licensed to practice law only
about wo monhs, and on this commit
tee he served with two of the pres
ent members of the U. S. Congress,
to wit, Hon. w. F. Stevenson, Con-
gressman from the Fifth District,
and Hon. R. S. Whaley, Congressman
from Charleston, also Hon. c. C..
Wyche, Asst. U. S. Dist. Attorney, for
Western District of South Carolina,
and other notables.
Mr.. Sherwood's campaign was
pitched on a very high plain, and re-
flected his past teachings as Editor
of the paper of clean politics and ef-
ficiency in office. After his retirement
from politics, in the spring of 1914.
he was. without opposition elected as
Horry's County's Democratic Chair
man, which position he now holds,
and which fact evidences the conf
dence for fair dealing in which he was
held by both factions of the county
Notwithstanding he had always been

To make a successful commissioner
il is necessary for a man TO nave

and show and explain to the other
commissioners and to the people OF
the city in general. A man trying

A good salesman never gives up. A
GOOD commissioner is just like a good

he must have knowledge, he must
know every part and every inch Of
what he is working for. He must be

ornamental sorts. There would seem
to be some ground for such q fear.
The number of the insects Is SO tre-
mendous that one can hardly under
stand how they can deposit their eggs
in the young and tender branches OF
the trees without killing them. Yet
the fact remains that there have been
outbreaks Of cicadas in some parts of
the United States in most of the years
since this country was discovered and
that no very grave damage has been
done. Very young fruit trees some.
times are killed or seriously injured,
but little or no permanent injury is
done to forest trees or mature trees
of any king, and measures Of protec-
ton can be employed that will have
the young and tender stock from
serious injury.
Inasmuch as the coming 1919 brood
of locusts may be one Of the largest
on record, it is particularly important
to allay excessive fear of destruction
to timber as well as to have people
on their guard, So that the few pre-
ventive measures possible may be ap-
Piled. The belief that the 1919 brood
will be exceptionally large is based
on the fact that the seventeen-year
brood coming out this year is BROOD
No. 10, perhaps the largest Of the sew
enteen-year broods, and that Brood
No. IS of the thirteen.year family also
comes out at the same time. The year
1868 was the greatest locust year in
history. In that year Brood No. 10,
the largest of the thirteen-year broods,
appeared in conjunction with Brood
No. 10, the two combining to make an
unprecedented infestation. The coin
cidence of the largest seventeen-year
brood with a smaller thirteen-year
brood this year will not bring about
conditions approaching those OF 1868.
The Department of Agriculture has
long kept close check on all Of the
broods of both families, of which some
twenty have been recorded, and is
able to say when and over what ter
ritory any brood will appear.
The two broods due this year are
Brood 10. which belongs to the seven
teen-year family, and Brood Is. which
belongs to the thirteen-year family.
The former will appear mostly in
Northern territory and the latter in
Southern territory. n
