Tribute to Mrs. Ringpr
We regret that Rev. J. B. Harmon’s
first sermon had to be a funeral ser
mon, that of Mrs. Fannie Lominick
Ringejj. I have known her all my
life. She was a very quiet girl and
her good nature still followed her af
ter she developed into womanhood. ' I
never knew her to speak a harmful
word to anyone. She had been ill
health all her life but she endured it
patiently. In spite of it all she was
cheerful, making everyone enjoy her
company. How thankful we ought to
be to the Almighty God for giving us
good health. There was a large gath
ering to pay last respects to Mrs.
Ringer. Her body was laid to rest in
St. Philips cemetery and the grave
was covered with beautiful flowers.
I guess everyone had a bountiful
Christmas. This weather has been
very pleasant. , While many homes
were filled with joy, there was sad
ness in some.
On Christmas night it seems every
one had a jubilant time, shooting fire
works and Roman candles. On Christ
mas morning I was awr.kened by the
chattering of the children enjoying
their fireworks.
While we are enjoying this Christ
mas how many of us will be here for
the next one is a question we cannot
answer. We all hope to see another
but we realize that many will have
passed on before that time.
My next topic will be “What Are
You Going to do In The New Year?”
Wishing each and everyone of you
a Happy New Year.

—HAL KOHN
The efficient protection of forest
land from fire ravage is dependent
upon (1) constant surveillance during
periods of high fire hazards, (2)
the instant availability of fire fight
ing crews and equipment, and (3)
experience and knowledge of fire con
trol and fire figmhing methods.
All the land of the Enoree Ranger
District is under observation from one
or moa-e of the six steel lookout tow
ers located in Newberry, Laurens,
Chester, Union, and Fairfield counties.
Telephone communication is maintain
ed between each tower and the Central
Fire Dispatchers office at CCC canm
F-6.
A trained fire crew at the camp can
be assembled and dispatched in less
than five minutes time.
Thus the only lack is the abstract
quality of experience and knowledge.
Educational classes provide enroll-
ces with much of the theory of fire
control methods later put into prac
tice. But a deficiency yet exists in
this manner of training—that of un-
familiarity with the manual technique
of fire tool handling and the lack of
■onfidence, which is begot of trial
inder actual conditions.
From these problems arose an idea
—why not rehearse our future fire
'ighters unde the conditions patter-
led upon reality? Why not put tools
: n their hands—tell them how to use
each—show them—let them ply the
'mplements and then correct their
faults? In other words, combine the
admitted advantage of both theore-
;ical and practical training.
School—an actual fire training
school—with outstanding authorities
from the offices of the Forest Super
visor and the Regional Forester, is
held each year in this district.
The Enoree Fire Training School on
December 17 and 18 encountered damp
weather conditions which prevented
the intended firing of a sedge field
for extinction by the “pupils.” „
The balance of the program was
"ompleted as scheduled, with lectures
in the classroom and individual in
struction to approximately two bund
led enrollees.

Who Gets The Cotton Mill Dollar?
i ; 1 »
The value of any public asset is measured by its service to mankind How
much is it worth to each citizen; or, to put it more bluntly, what does each man
woman and child get out of it?
It is important to revalue our public asets from time to time and determine
their true worth.
The Cotton Textile Industry is generally recognized as one of South Caro
lina’s public assets, though in reality it is financed by private capital. What
then is it worth to each citizen of the state? Is it really worth while? Who gets
each cotton mill dollar? Let us see.
Half of each cotton mill dollar goes to the farmer for cotton, and while the
farmers of South Carolina in 1936 only raised 70 per cent as much cotton as our
own mills consumed, practically all of what they do raise is sold in the state. The
farmer has a huge stake in our mills.
Then 27 1*2 cents goes to the operatives. Together the farmers and the mill
employees got over three fourths of every dollar spent by our cotton mills in
operations the first half of this year.
Of the balance, 22 1-2 cents, fully half the amount is spent in the state for
taxes, power, supplies, materials and services of all kinds, repairs and general
office and administrative expense.
These interesting and authentic figures are based upon the experiences of a
representative group of South Carolina mills for the first six months of this year
(1937).
