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.

appraising ex-cov. richards
John ,G. 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.

"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

l good example. Food unci shelter for
animals and hirus are b >:h consumed

fi-harred bru-h and trees make nasty
going. Thickets of thorns and br ars

Charred trees, blackened hillsides,
fallen timber, all make a sorry sight.
The flowering shrubs and herbs disappear.
In the path of the forest
fire we have blackened waste and
desolation. In a land justly nottd
for its beauty there is no place for |
a forest fire.

?*ch South Carolina congressman
who employs a press agent at Washington
is touted in his home district
papers as chiefly responsible for the
location of a new hospital in this
state. 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.
