W 1 Pecan Tree* Productive The productivity of the- pecan under favorable conditions if sui |" isin|(. One grower ne?*i Byron, averaged sixty pounds a tree on a fiveai ie grove of KrotchciH. As hia treea ?? 50 feet apart, tins meant 1,200 pounds per acre. Another grower near Bryon produced over 2,000 pounds of fancy Schleys on u threeacre plot, Uj considerable part of which wholesaled at from 60 to 65 cents per pound, and none of which Mold for less than !W cents. It appears that cold storage is to be an important factor in the pecan industry, as this means the nut season ran be made to cover the entire year. As the pecan makes such an unusually attractive shade tree, every farm house and every servants house in the pecan belt should have this beautiful tree for both shade and fruit. In fact, the pecan tree is a rare combination of beauty, comfort and profit.?Macon Telegraph. Carrying The Air Mail Since ('apt. Charles Lindbergh set ti.r world on fire by bis New YorkParis flight the question has naturally been asked: How much money doc.-, an air mail pilot make'.' The Ni w York Kvening World answers t be question by stating that govern-j tin nt pilots receive flat salaries ranging from $2,000 to $.',,000, according to length of sei'v'ice, and in addition, f 1 \ ing pav of and i cents a mile I for lay work and double this rate for night living.

A total ol ^ $ l.'i.oOU. oi* more fltac twice as much Sj a> was spent la*', year, is available In lighting the beetle some ot the badly infected trees are cut down, skidded together with horses, and ||?g[|Kf? bu11ted. Other trees, partially infested, are peeled standing, by the use of a long-handled -pud. The bark ot the tree? forms the shelter for the young beetles while they are growing and while transforming from little white grubs into stout, black, round-bodied beetles ready to attack other trees. The infestation, which is one of the -tiio largest in the count iy, has been extending southward ,n these forests for several years, and immense quantities of timber have been destroyed. The first cotton blooms of the season reported from South Carolina were from the farm of W. D. Harley of Barnwell picked oi, Priday, June T The cotton was planted on March 5.

A New Industry or Hotel Almost daily | ain asked why the ckumhei of commerce doesn't get a I new imlu-try or hotel. My answer to the above inquiiy is thtit we don't wafit either hail enough. We could get what we wanted if we went after t n\ personal contact and would offer inducements. Large industries just do not happen to drop down upon any community. I hoy must be secured by patient, hard and persistent work, and !* backed up by the full co-operation ot the business men who are willing to invest money in such projects. 1 his is tlie natural order. 1 he ownei s and oj^rators of cotton ! a. tones and hotels are business pe>>p.e. They are not out to confer on one community more than a not her. I rere is no reason why Camden people should content themselves with heir present status. Many reliable! gong concerns are right now looking towards the South for a location. There are plenty of them. Camden .its an vantages to offer, more than ivany other towns. In fact, everything is in our "favor. There is nothing the matter with Camden except a decided lack of confidence and initiative. We have a good town from all standpoints, but that is no reason, why.we should not have a better one. 1 he times and conditions are propitious. A iecent report shows that the re-' sources of our three banks are over three million dollars. This is a good showing, hut it does not mean that it is better for the banks, better for the town and country or better for tlie depositors for ail this money to lie dp iiv the banks. More ^industries mean better times for all; more business for all trades and professions and a better market for farmers. If Camden cannot land a big mill as an Alabama town has just secured, by purchasing $200,000 woith of this mill s bonds, and giving 150 acres of land for a site, on which a two million dollar plant is to "brbuilt. including 100 homes for operatives. she can certainly establish a snia.l industry or locate a hotel, which would pay well, and put it on a going basis, with proper business connections. This is how our present mills were started, and once established they will build themselves up ami grow until they become large and strong concerns. Lei us not si, dow n and content ourselves with what we have. A selfsatisfied town is a slow town. Camden has a good start. It should be easier now to grow than ever before. But it requires initiative, cooperation and determination. We have the money. ^ What will we do? B. G. Sanders. Secretary, t hamber of Commerce.

I liy the way, fathers and mothers, sad because their sons lack college education, will observe that Lindbergh went to no university, and his "prep school" was a plow on his father's farm. He was a solitary boy, thinking, enjoying danger and new things. Robert Westover, p garage owner in Montana, who once hired Lindbergh to make parachute jumps, says, "I don't think he was lonesome on that trip. Slim Lindbergh was a peculiar guy. He did not care for company or any excitement, except daring stuff. Everything he had he carried with him, helmet, goggles and toothbrush stuffed in the big pockets of his overalls." Lindbergh's difficulty now will "be to find something worth doing that will not kill him. Lindbergh proves that deeds of daring* "mad-cap audacity," seeming reckless at the time, are of great, permanent value. It was called reckless folly when Columbus made his H^ansutlHiitic ."hop" in the opposite direction. Cool heads told him lawould fall over the edge of the ocean, I and his crew wanted to turn back. Fulton's experiment with steam, and Franklin's with the kite, seemed foolish. Congressmen that voted t-> spend money on Government experiments with telegraph messages were beaten for re-election. The voter"had no use" for a Congressman thai would vote to waste money. Lindbergh's feat will find an echo in the next Congress. It will occur to some Congressman that if one man, all alone, could fly from here to Europe, some thousands might fi\ from Europe or Asia here, and be le-? weleome than Lindbergh was in Pari-. The record shows that Lindbergh's W l ight motor used less than twelve gallons of gasoline per hour of flying'-and did better than 100 miles to the hour. At twenty cents a gallon I that means about $S1 worth of gasoline, plus twenty gallons of oil. Not expensive for a trip to Paris. Anybody who doubts that airplanes will carry passengers across the oeean for less than $50, "all daylight route," has little confidence in human ingenuity. Statistics show this country's income in 1020 totalled seventy-eight billion, six hundred and forty-nine million dollars, from all sources?the iitch digger's wages, the coupon cutler's toil. lhat means $(>il tor every man, w i. ma n and child, or $l,K()5.d7 for . very person engaged in earning money. Protessor Nash, teacher of physical education in New York University, justly criticises violent exercise for young girls. To permit competition for girls in hurdle races, high jumping and broad jumping is a crime against the girls now, and against the future generation. cv Girls were not made to jump. They were made for motherhood, and should be taught to respect and protect their complicated machinery. In the fall "medicinal whiskey" bourbon and rye, made of corn and lye, will be manufactured under supervision of the treasury department. No whiskey should be suggested for medicinal purposes. If doctors say alcohol is necessary, they shodld use brandy made of grapes. Many poisons are in grain whiskey, even carefully made. Real brandy is free of poisonous oils and other poisons* unless you call pure alcohol a poison. W ood alcohol is deadly, potato alcohol is very poisonous, grain alcohol less poisonous, grape alcohol safest^ Those that sent threatening letters, concerning the Sacco and Vanzetti case, to Governor Fuller did not frighten the governor. He rejects the fdggestion of a commission to review the Sacco and Vanzetti case, saying, that the responsibility is his. The governor cannot delegate his authority. The law provides that the decision must be made by him. Governor Fuller will do his owii investigating and his own deciding.

As requited by law, County Judge Southard appointed Frank O Brien foreman of the grand jury, " and the jury got together here. It ' retired for deliberations and immediately returned, for the district attorney had nothing for it to do. There was not a prisoner in the county jail , nor was any defendant under bail charged with a felony. H. \\ .
