TREES FOR FUTURE PROFIT > ( Owners of Woodlands Have Opportunity in 1/ong-Time Crop & Cle-maon College, Jan. 3?-Pine trees only 13 years from planting of seed have grown to a height of IK) to 40 1 feet and are five to seven inches in ' diameter- in a Toreatry- demonstration i I*'ing conducted by/'the South Carolina Experiment Station at the Coast ' Station near iSummerville, proving * conclusively that money grows In trees if not on trees. With such 1 growth in a dozen or so years slash ' pine begins to yield up its money, ' according to W. It. Mattoon, extension forester of the U. o. Forest Ser- ' vice, for the trees then can be worked ' for turpentine und select cuttings can begin for thinning to the future advantage of the best trees. Later? and not too much later?the main ' crop yields good money returns from naval stores and timber. The demonstration with slash pine at Summervillc is duscussed in Sta- * tion Circular 41.

Work was begun in earnest with ^ smoothness and precision, indicating ( that the rest of the holiday had been ^ adequate. The patrons of the schools are ask- ^ ih! to take note of. the following facts ( concerning the enrollment and attend unco for the first three months of the year. We feel that it is excep- ' LionaJly high and compares favorably { with the best schools in <>outh Caro- ( ina. For the first imonth the Graded , school which; consists of the first through the fourth grades of the city tchool proper had an enrollment of 171 and an average atendance of If56, in othter words 96% of the pupils were present each day. The Laurena itreet school, consisting of 5th, 6th . uxl 7th grades, enrolled 263 and had j in average attendance of 250, or over [>9% present each day. The High school enrolled 255, had an average Attendance of 252, or over ' of pupils preseht each day. Toe Mill ichool enrolled 226, had an average lttendance of 220 whiV'h is over 97% )( pupils present. In the second month the Graded school enrollment was 387, the averige attendance 370, which was equi- | /alent to 95.6% of pupils present >uch day. The Laurens street school mrollment was 264, average attendince 253, or 95.8%- present each (lay. rhe High school enrollment was 257, average attendance 248 or 96.5% present each day. The Mill school snrollment was 258, average attend- ^ mce 224 or 94.1% present each day. The third month the Graded school ' mrolled 395, average atendance 367 jr 93% (present each day. I^aurens itreet school enrolled 267, average attendance 251, or 94%. present each lay. The High school enrolled 260, lad average attendance 246 or 95'present each day.\ The1 Mill school ?nrolled 241, had an average attendmce of 215 or 89% present each day. -Summarizing the above facts we , find that for the first three month> the Graded school maintained an average attendance of 94.8%; the Laurens street < school 96.1%; the High school 96.6% ; and the Mill school 93.4%. The whole school system had 1163 white children enrolled and maintained an average attendance of 95.2%. This means that there were present each day during the three months over 95% of all the children enrolled. OTTO BITES THE DUST Otto Wood, North Carolina's most famous desperado, ha*y bit the dust? a victim, one judges, of his own selfe.i.iii-i-Lt. which must, hnvn Keen grow- . ing like the green bay tree by reason of his long record of "success" in making a fool out of the law. Otto, sent to the state prison for twenty years for the murder of a Greensboro pawn-broker, seemed to take considerably pride in the "cleverness" which he 'exhibited in various acts, among which were four escapes from the state prison. In between times he demonstrated what a versatile man he was 'by writing a book, or something of the kind, and seems to have preened himself considerably on his literary abilities. After his last escape he wandered around the country committing various minor criminal acts, getting continually bolder, and apparently developing a growing conviction that his mission' in life was to make a monkey out of the law and its officers. And he almost continued to get away with it in Salisbury. We dare say the reason he didn't was that' Lady Luck ptyyed that day on the side of Chief Rankin and not with Otto. Rut luck or no luck, the old saying that all's well that ends well, is quite applicable, and North Carolina is to he warmly congratulated i that it is Otto's body that lies in ' the morgue, nnd not that of ;i brave land fearless Salisbury chief of police ; who "seen his duty and done it," I and who deserves the praise of a state for demonstrating that the law j in tin- end, triumphs and that those i who mock and defy it will eventually get what's coming to them.?Greenville News. Anderson county will have two . candidates before the legislature for state offices when the session reach , es that point in its proceedings. .Judge M. L. Ronhani is a candidate | for associate justice and Ben J.

Irby, ni^ht chief operator of the Western Union at -Chester and a man with many friends, was killed yesterday afternoon in an automobile accident in Virginia when he was re, turning home from Lynchburg. Ho ; was- 90 years of age and is survived , by two brothers and four sisters % 1 Iaurens, the brothers being Rev George W. Irby and Dr. William Irbyi That B*tr? Fifty Cent# Senator B. H. Clyburn, of ;Unca?t*r county, writing in the L*nc*?t?r News of la*t -week, give* noma intereating information relative to the uxtra tax now being imposed on automobile owners. "A good many of my friends have asked me why their automobile tags ?re ?beting them fifty cents extra, and what this extra'money i? going to be used for. I am very /rank to ?*y that I do not know why this extra money was put on your tag* I "ould like to know juet why it was put on myself. .1 don't see any ause for it nor any excuse for it. If there isn't something done about it at the next legislature or when it *ts you are Jiable to have another foliar added to your tag next year. I am absolutely against the license irivers law. I don't see any need f 7/" *1 U' 'ITh re ha* been a sixty-fWe nffllion bond issue placed on the automobile owners for building paved now the legislature has taxed you again to ride on them. dont blame people for resenting this extra tax, because I for one lion t think it is necessary. When you uy an aim/mobile you am taxed four times 'before you can drive it r irst your tag, second your drivers license, third your county tax, fourth tax on your gasoline. I guess the oil will be taxed next year and probably the air that goew in your tires. 1 he average poor mar, who drives a Chevrolet or Ford or uny other car of this class (I -mention these two makes as they are the most popular in this class) pays an annual tax of approximately seventy-five dollars per year on his car. In other words a little more than ten per cent on purchase price. Now there isn't but one thing for the people of Uncaster county and other counties to do about this matter, just don't'-vote for anybody that votes for drivers license or a raise of any other of your taxes. 1 personally wouldn't vote for anybody who voted for this drivers license. I want the people of Lancaster county to know just who caused you to have to pay for this drivers license. This law passed the house with the fee taken off of the license, by an amendment of Mr. L. M. Clyburn's but the state couldn't enforce the law without the fee?so this bill was thrown into free conference composed of three Senators and three legislature men. Senators were: Mr. Fred W. West, the father of the bill, from Abbeville county, Mr. Sheperd K. Nash of Sumter county, and Mr. Henry Sims of Orangeburg county. Legislators Mr. J. H. Cleveland of Greenville county, Mr. Olin Sawyer of Georgetown county and Mr. F. A. Thompson, of Marion county. These ar? the .people who are responsible for ^his , fcc: 1 hone this will gjyp vm, the information you dosire. If there is anything else about, the affairs of any .matter which comes up in the Senate next year, I will be too glad to tell you all I know about them I want you to keep right up with the \\a> I ,vote on all matters in the Senate this year. I want the people of Uncaster county to know just how I stand on any matter that comes up in the senate. I owe it to you Hnd you must know it." lo Have Song Service 1 he first song service of the season will be given at Mount Moriah Baptist church, corner of York and Broad streets, .Sunday, January 11th, at 3:30,o'clock.
