Price per annum $2.00, payable in advance. Friday, February 20, lt?l Motor!*!* and Horsemen In this motorized age motorists, particularly the younger motorists, are prone to forget tbat horses are not perfectly controllable creatures. They iikewiso apparently too frequently forget that horses and horsemen have rights on -the highway equal to automobiles and motorists. Every motorist should re mem be in passing and meeting horseback riders thart there is always a possibility of an unforeseen movement of a horse into the path of the automobile. ? Automobile speed should be regulated at such times with this possibility always in mind. , Motorists are prone to forget that all horses even now, are not entirely free of the fear of a fa*rt moving automobile. The motorist should be ever watchful for any signal from n horseman indicating that his mount is not under perfect control. The motorist should ever remember that the road belongs as much to the horseman as to the automobile as a matter of right. Finally as a matter of good conduct motoiists should always give horsemen every consideration. Eat South Carolina Products A plea for South Carolinians to eat th *ir own products is being made at pn ent in this state hv -means of exten-i\e advertising by the Liberty Life Insurance company of Greenville. A representative of tha^ company was ii, the rty of Lancaster last week inducing hn-al merchants to display 'South Carolina products. This campaign is said to be making rapid progress in this state. Keoently the Flo rence people were en l bused over the proposition and it is said that the sale of South Carolina produce has increased in that city 500 per cent. In other places the sale of state produce has increased to such a degree that goods to replace the sold articles were dif-i ficult to obtain. It. is said that South Carolina im,ports $.'15.000,IKK) worth of canned goods and $12,000,000 pounds of butter each jlear. That a larger proportion of this money would bo kept ?Athamc is evident when?the fact is considered that on an average each dollar spent at hoiiM? circulates four or five times. Iodized products of this state have been proven to be of greater value as an aid to nutrition than those grown in most of the states of the union. We hope that this fact ilully realized FTy t he people id t :il state. Canneries an- increasing ?n': this state and the business is be^om-: ing substantial even though the .n- j crease in canneries is not rapid, j During trie coming year, there will probably be more canneries open, in this state and the Borden Milk company -will probably ope:- a plant m this state to make condensed milk.

Richard# ha# beau on the political board# about 40 years. a# * lieutenant, of B. r. Tillman, he served many year# in the legislature from Kershaw County. He made a splendid record in that capacity. Uter, be served for year# on the Railroad Commission, This job is it I moat a sinecure, and not adapted to any record-breaking achievement#. He finally landed in the gubernatorial oh air by a -peroular combination of circumstances. ' A* one of the few old outstanding rein* of the Tillmfcn and iilease faction, he got into the second race for governor four years <?Ko. By virtue of Blackwood being the Bottler's candidate, and Richards riding the fence on the "nuisance" tax issue, thousands from t/he other side of the hedge came over to Richatds, as less likely to veto a luxury tax, without. Which the farmers, especially, would have been forced to carry an intolerable load. Besides, Mr. Richards pounded the table with his clenched fist when swearing for economy in case of his election. While he did not meet expectations, generally, in his new role, we think he has been unnecessarily derided. He was about on par with the run of the kiln for a good many years. The main sources of attack aganist him came from those opposed to the 05million road bond issue. The heavypolling Piedmont had its paved highways. Too much stress, for this reason, should not 1>e laid on this opposition. There was an element of selfishness about it. Others thougnt he pardoned entirely too many criminals.^ lie did. But did he indulge molTT fithan his predecessors, except Harv ey .' 'Most ot our governors have grossly abused this prerogative. The biggest and best stick that his enemies used was his weakness m ! i stemming the tide of extravagance and deficits. The veto was sadly needed, all along the line. His deficiency in strength of character and backbone, when dealing with this problem, was his glaring weakness. Especially so. in view of his -platform. His appointments as a rule were bad. I lie.se were his major faults. We always took, with many trains of ali. the1 criticisms leveled at him, t"r his stand against slot machines, prize and cock fights, Sunday golf, and other immoral practices. If this country is not sadly in need of morals, then we are certainly no judge, it is always a feather in a high offigap, for his morals to rate high, and his private life above reproach. Nobody can take that away from Gov. Richards. It is a healthy influence to exert upon the people. ? ( alhoun Times. < cd. .lames X.

I ? - - ^ "Cease Firing!" Advises Nuite In the wake of fire atalka tie nth and destruction. Sometime# the danITer ia net easily eeeo, but it U there juat the same. It ia quite possible that lack of knowledge uf the inJury which follow# fir# im the wootfa ??ay .partly account for mo mucharareicttanese with fire, fte^t# M a rule an# careful when they realise that a thoughdeaa act may hum m> tb+ir property. No .peraou in feis y right mind will li^ht hia pipe in the barn and throw the burning match iiv the fodder bin or hay mow, why? Hia hand ia stayed by the thought of fire and the damage It iwill cause.. Yet, that same person will, .without thinking, flip another match into dry grass or leaves and start a forest fire that will do damage greater>(th#.n the value of a thousand barns. What is true of the unthinking smoker is true of the man with the camp fire, the brush burner, or of anyone else who uses fire in or near the forest. ?So that you may stop nnd think and then be careful with fire in the woods, the following summary of,the evidence against fire is given to you. Heal damages from Forest Fires result in injury to soil, timber, water, wild life ..and beauty. Think of these injuries one by one. Nearly all forest fires burn on the ground. Each fire burns up more or less decaying vegetable mutter, called "humus", which is vital to the tree, shrub, and herb life which the soil supports. Tt destroys a lar^o part of the plant food and leaves only an unbalanced ration. At the same time .fire removes the organic matter which works in the upper layers of the soil and change^ it into a sponge-like cover, preventing s)il and water from washing | away or drying up. Loss of soil fertility is the heaviest toll the forest fire takes. Other losses may he replaced in time at reasonable cost, but the plant food in the soil can only be built by nature and her work is very slow. \N hen the protective forest cover is destroyed by fire, rain storms wa.-h away the valuable top soil, gullcys form on steep slopes, silt and debriare washed down to clog the stream* and damage the fertile far.m lands in the valleys be law. Even the lightest fire destroy.some trees and damages others. The average forest fire kills most of the seedlings up to one inch in diameter on the burned area. This represent* several years of patient growth. Many large trees are of course killed, but the younger the timber the higher the death rate. The community of trees which we Call the forest is like the community which we call the human race. If we were t<> kill off the children, what would be the future <>[ t lu- human race-. If *.\ .* ' I I'll up the little trees what is to lx" > me of the forest? The an>*wer :* -mi.pie. Some day not so far off (and - me are doing it already) we will ha\ e a cu.-tly task of planting trees on worn out soil and trying to mak< them grow. If we will banish fore-*- fire. Mother Nature will gladly Uu thus for us. * c aumtU. u flfW cessity of life? I t ee growth help? nr control the flow of water ir. many ways: It checks the beating effect of rain on soil; it slows up the melting of snows; the spongy "humus" soil covering absorbs moisture and holds back the run-off. . Much uf our wild life perishes in each blaze. If the grown-ups are fortunate enough to get away, the helpless young axe caught. The game T>irds with ground nesting htrbrts arc heavy lose is.

It is confusing to one who reads the papers of several districts and finds several congressmen, each doing it by hard work. (Congressman Stevenson, not having any press agent, is not in the race for ballyhoo honors, although her is intensely interested in the new hospital project and did his share toward securing it for this state.
