Heavy losses Felt
From Forest Fires
IWmiI forest fire* in Kershaw
county have cost a very large sum
of money? $<">0,000 would be a very
conservative estimate of the damage
done.
Thin wanton destruction of our origirot.!
^?-a!th i* most deplorable It
\* High time the thinking people of
Kershaw county became active and
look steps to stop this practice which j
!. annually .sapping a large part of
the life blood of the county. These
fiie- ure costing the future gcnerat\on*
huge sums and helping to (dace
South Carolina further down the list
,i, roll of States instead of helping
her to take her proper place among
the leading States of the nation. The
only way to stop this waiting of our
natural wealth is by public opinion
which can be molded by proper activity
of our leading and influential
people.
Timber kept South Carolina living
years ago when we were in a very
bad fix?and can help us a great deal
now if only the timber is allowed tp
grow. Fires not only kill thev<MMB
pine seedlings but also "hardens aSf
the larger trees and retards their
growth. An acre of pines will normally
increase in value $4.00 per
acre per year if fire is kept out.
Thousands of our acres in Kershaw
county are not a/fording an income
of $-1.00 j>er acre. Hut taxes must
he paid just the same, so it is readily
obvious that some of our lands are
liabilities rather than asset#.
Some people think that burning the
woods will kill the boll weevils. It
may kill a few but it will not kill
a sufficient number to do much good.
Weevils are under bark high up on
trees where the fire does not reach.
Fires also kill game and birds. It
also ki)ls grass seeds and clover
seeds. Burning broom sedge causes
tin* sedge to produce greater root
systems for next year and it will
come up thicker than ever before.
If some bandit should steal $60,000
from the county's vault the whole
citizenry would turn out to help. Now
is a time when the citizens of Kershaw
county can help.
Recently the writer counted five
fires between Bethune and Cjamden;
three between Liberty Hill and Camden;
two between Pine Grove and
Camden and eleven between Camden
and Sumter, o Six of these wert^in
Sumter county. ?
A forestry and fire prevention or
ionization is to be set up in Kershaw
county which will consist of local
people. The stffccess or failure of
this will depend on the interest taken
by the people. All who are interested
will please write to Henry I).

Farmers* Seed l,oan*
Last Saturday the County Central
Committee on the Seed f>oan matter,
-a
together with Mr. K. M. Kennedy and
County Agent Green, interviewed officials
of the Seed Loan office in
Columbia for about two hours in the
interest of Kershaw county farmer's.
The Columbia office had not received
authorization to start dispersing
loans, however, this will probably
be done in the next several days.
In the meantime the various committees
over the county will not be
able to do anything. As soonaiflH
papers are received announce**?

Think of Your
? ? /nv. * 'j f>
Automobile in Terms

of Tomorrow

Ultimate cost is as important
as first cost in the purchase
of an automobile
WHEN you purchase an automobile you are making
an investment of a considerable amount of
money. It is essential, therefore, that you give careful
thought to the best selection and know what you are
getting for your automobile dollars.
The first cost is important because it may mean
an immediate, satisfactory saving. Of ecpial importance
is the ultimate cost after thousands of miles of
service. This ultimate cost is the true measure of
automobile value.
The first cost of the new Ford is unusually low not
only because of economies in manufacturing, but
because the same principles that inspire these savings
are extended to every other step that means greater
service to the public. It is easy to see that economies
in production would be of little value if they were
sacrificed later through high charges for distribution,
selling, financing and accessories.
1 he Ford dealer, therefore, does business on the
same low-profit margin as the Ford Motor Company.
His discount or commission is twenty-five to fifty
per cent lower than that of any other automobile
dealer, ion gain because he makes a small profit 011
many sale-* instead of a large profit on fewer sales.
The difference :u selling cost, combined with the
low charges for financing and accessories, amounts
to at least $50 to $75 on each car. This is as important
as economies in production in keeping down the
price you pay for the new Ford.
. The low ultimate cost of the new Ford is the result of
sound design, quality of material and unusual care in
manufacturing. Friction and wear are reduced by the
accuracy with which each part is ma d&nd assembled*
These factors combine to decrease the cost of
operation and add months and years to the useful life
of the car. The good performance and low yearly
depreciation of the new Ford are indicative of the
enduring quality built into it at the factory.
Serv ice charges are on the same fair, economical
basis as the making and selling of th?ear spid replacement
parts are always available at low prices through
all Ford dealers. In two, three or five years, depending
on how much you drive, the saving in operating
and maintaining a new Ford will amount to even
more than the saving on the first cost.
Think in terms of tomorrow, therefore, when you
purchase an automobile. For tomorrow will reveal
its true worth.
