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. Slash Pine for Re-,
forestation in the Coastal Plains, recently
published for free distribution.

valuable information on forestry for

Hack To Work
After Holiday ,
The Camden City Schools were opened
after a holiday of two iwceks (
with a full corps of teachers and a (
large percentage of pupils preaent.
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

Anderson county will have two
. candidates before the legislature for

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."
