Tree Planting
Woric To Start
Laurens CCC Camp Enrollees
Allotted One Million Trees As
' County’s Quota To Be Set Out.
J. E. King, superintendent of the
Laurens CCC camp, announce<i yes

take up a good i)art of the company
enrollees’ time during the winter
months was atrated in the county this
week with two crews assigned to this
task. ' J
The local camp has been alloted one
' million trees <M, its quota to be set o
in Laurens county during the ne
few months and it is expected
^ this work will require until th
of March to complete.
It is planned by the Soil yonserva-
/ tion Service to plant approximately
fifteen million trees in the state of
South Carolina, Laurens county get

lion trees will cow approximately
ten, thousand acr^ and the
planting will be/done almost entirely
4>y CCC enroll
Trees planted in Laurens county
should coyer approximately seven
hundred y^res. These trees are to
be plants on farms included in the
soil conservation program. Lob-lolly
pines will be planted in fields retired
fydm cultivation. Black locust will be
sed for planting in gullies.
All pine trees being used in the
state for planting purposes are be
ing grown by the South Carolina
State Forest Commission. Trees re
ceived at Camp Laurens for planting
are being brought from the nursery
at Georgetown.
It is pointed out that the growing
of slash pine in this section is likely
to become an important industry
during the next few years. Pulp
mills are already located at George
town and Savannah, Ga;. These mills
use se'^hal hundred' cords of pine
daily in the production of paper.
*njese mills are using-Southem pine
exclusively. ^ -
A good example of the growth of
pine trees may be had by observation
of the pines filwited pn
ham place bn the Greenwood highway
just below Waterloo. These tioes
jwere plated in 1931.
Trees fumishe^ by the Soil Con-
aervatioR Seiwko^ Ikureik obiin^
farmers are purely for erosion con
trol. Many farmers of the—county
have sections of land that is worthless
for farming purposes which could be
tuimed into a paying investment if it
were'planted in trees. This land is
likely to be badly eroded and totally
unfit for farming. By planting trees,
the farmer will be taking steps to
atop further erosion, and at the same
time assuring an income from this
property in later years.

At long last I am able to say a few
words of my own, I hav^ never want
ed to withhold anything, but until
now it has not been constitu^bnally
possible for me to speak. A f^ hours
ago I di.scharged my last du^r as king
and emperor and now that I have
been succeeded by my /orother, the
Duke of York, my fir^ words must
be t.» declare* my all/giance to him.
This I <lo with all rm heart.
You all know tne reasons which
have impelled

that in makii^ up my min-d I did not j of service to his majesty in a private

fortunes of the British race and em-
e to renounce thelpire with profound interest and if at
r»t you to understand any time in the future I can be found
>rou
SI pie to carry the heavy burden of
ponsibility and * to discharge my
duties as king as I would wish to do
without the "help and support of the
woman I love and I want you to
inww that the“decision that I have
made has been mine and mine idone.
This was a thing I had to judge en
tirely for myself. ’Tha other persons,
those nearly coi^med, have tried to
the last to persu^e me to take a dif
ferent course. J have made this rhost
sad decision of my life only upon the
single thought of what would in the
end be best for all.
This ^deelslbn has been made} less
difficult to me by the foreknowledge
that my brother with his long train
ing in the public affairs of this coun
try and with his fine qualities will be
able to take my place forthwith with
out interruption or injury to the life
and progress of the empire. And he
had one blessing, enjoyed by so many
of you and not bestowed on me, a
happy home with his wife and chil
dren. 'i- . /
During these hard days I have been
comforted by her majesty, my moth
er, and by my family. T^e ministers
of the crown and most particularly,
Mr. Baldwin, the prime minister, have
always treated me with full consid
eration. There has never been any
constitutional difference between me
