Price per annum S2.00, payable in adv*n-;?. Friday, November 13, 1931 The passing of Kditor Charles W. Birchmore reinovaa one of Camden h older citizens and a man who .madt? friends wgh all in the home of. his adoption. For forty-seven years he published a -.newspaper in this city urui hlid a wide acquaintance among our people, all of who pi held him in high esteem, liis interest in < hureh , affairs was earnest at all times, and especially did he take great interest ~~in young people. I he editor of this paper feel* a distinct personal loss in the passing of this, one of the oldest editors in the state, and will miss his friendly advice.

There is a tinge of sadness to this bliss us you watch nature coloring the entire panorama of plant life and growth.

I he mead??ws are putting on that customary brown and sere appearance that fall demands. The nuts are falling f i mil ; lie hickory, pecan and walnut trees. The fodder and wheat are in the hock. The pumpkin and persimmon reach their perfect state of golden-tan, while the sweet potatoes bob up yellowed to the queen's taste. The squirrels at*?busy husbanding their resources against winter s approach, teaching all of us a practical lesson, in economy. And from the splendor of the morning sun to its sinking in the burnished chambers of the West, life is well worth living. The lesson one gathers from this, unrivalled season of the year in the Piedmont Carolinas. one that recurs each year, is that all things ea'thly, however beautiful and up* pealing, go the way <>l all the eaith. And yet it is a good thing to be alive and have an appreciation of nature and her work>.- -Spartanburg .lain rial. * Region Held Fine Meeting Armistice evening members of the .lames Is'roy Belk Post, No. li? of the American Legion were hosts ut a very enjoyable supper. Their guests included the county delegation. Senator II. Welsh, Representatives Team tlettys and .J. R. Belk, City Council, the Legion Auxiliary and veterans of the World War, from this county. The meeting was held in the Camden Shrine banquet hall, which was beautifully .decorated in .American flags and the legion's emblem, t ommander of the post, M.' M. Reasonover, had charge of the meeting and called upon A. S. Llewellyn, past state commander and at one time commander of the local post, who mark a splendid address on the significance of Armistice day and its observance. A few remarks were made by each of the county delegate.u and mayor pro uun. \Y. L. Jack-o?',. Others called upon by the commander were the adjutant. W. M.

W. Birchmore, a staunch supporter of the Iyegion, who passed away on Armistice day. Then the meeting was adjourned. Vandals attempted to dynamite the water pipe line supplying the city of Ijos Angeles, Cal? on Monday. The attempt was only partially successful. The explosion was at a point 150 miles itfirth of the city. Mrs. Anna Nathan, 21, Philadelphia mother, wrote two notes complaining of the treatment of herself and three children, by her husband, on Tuesday shot the children to death and then committed suicide. DESTROY 1N<? THE FORESTS Extensive forest fires in thi? und other state* during the last few days have destroyed thousands of dollars worth of timber, thus annihilating the work of nature over a score or more of years in producing an asset of great value to the country. Nearly every year the country suffers the !<*/?* of huge sums 'Mn Its timber .resources through fires. And we are not replanting trees at anything like a sufficient rate to maintain air adequate timber supply. It is time that the state adopted a comprcherfkive and forward-looking forest protection and forestation policy. Not only 1> mare careful protection of existing resources needed, hut ? policy of systematic and continued reforestation of timber lands that will perpetuate these rei sources for the future. South Carolina might well study the program recently adopted in New York sfati?, looking to a long-tei m program of reforestation .of non-arable lands. Needed financial support might he provided by some special form of , severance tax upon timber with exemption of the timber land itself from ad valorem ^taxation.?Creenville News. Don't Appreciate Iodine "Seems to me that the people of South Carolina don't appreciate the recently discovered heavy iodine content of our vegetables as much as do residents of other states in the union," said J. S. {tartness of Sharon, the other day. "From such information as I am able to get few South Carolina grocers are carrying South Carolina canned vegetables which experiments seem to prove have a heavier content j of iodine than vegetables of other ] states. People don't seem to be dej ntanding* them here at home and I guess that's why most of the grocers don't bother about them. "I happened to be over in Lancas[ tor some time ago and entered a ' restaurant for dinner. A gentleman who was a stranger to me sat do v n at my table and in the conversation that ensued I learned lie was a New Yorker.? The waiter came around and the New Yorker said he would like to I have some vegetable soup, provided the vegetables to make the soup were those grown in South Carolina. The waiter said they would come out of a can packed in Maryland or New [Jersey ot* Now York, I have forgotten which; and that his restaurant didn't use South Carolina canned products. Then that Yankee started to cussing. He accused the waiter of lack of I patriotism; failure to patronize home industries and qf bad business judgment in that the South Carolina canneries could furnish products of a superior quality and highest iodine content at less cost. He refused to cat at the restaurant. ' The trouble with you South Carolinians," he said to me,' is that you '".lon't appreciate what you have here at home. Why if Now York state could show as high a content of 1 iodine in her vegetables as you <?f South Carolina, she would make millions out of it light at home by us! ing her own. You people can do it; 1 hut you can't expect other states to I buy your products in great volume j if you haven't the faith and interest 'in them.to use them yourself.' And i I reckon he is about right," concluded ^ ^ ? ?~V l?o > 1.1 n f-' r mi iirin' A Card of Thanks 'I o the people of the community at large: We want to thank you one and all in showing us your kindness in the sickness ami death of our little girl, Gracey.

Making a life is of more importance than making a living. *> Building character is more important than saving your *ouh Of what value is your soul without character? What's wrong with the world: It Jacks more "little red achoolhouses." Individually, it lacks fine knowledge of itself. It wants personal fidelity. It is faithless to self. Too murh time is spent educating defectives rather..than searching out the vitully alert, mentally hungry? the genius. Immense sums are spent on the crippled, the hopelessly defective, the misfit who can nayer be of service to humanity. Why not aid the intelligensia of youth who lack means for development of superior talent, but, like multitudes of others who* are gone, find their noblest aspirings and lofty capabilities drowned in the wretched "wherewithal they shall live," etc. What's wrong/with the world? Intellectual palsy that accepts bald statements of ofttimos venal newspapers as the voice of Deity and concensus of popular viewj with consequent clamorous adoption and hasty voting of any proposition' advocated by the press. The news editor's ideas are not inspirations of heaven ulways. The growth of ideals and the consummation of ideals Is the growth of society. A favorite quotation of Emerson's was: "The strength of the Egyptians is to sit still." How far has Egypt gone ? Too many lying monuments; too much fatuous grieving over the departed; too many living in a futile past; too much self-pity; and whining. Too much loud laughter, and too little cheerful smiling. Too much scorn of law, and too much youthful cynicism. Too much clerical stress on belief, and too little urge on knowledge and individual inquiry; too much superstitious fear for religion, and frantic combat of science by many who do not comprehend either religion or science. Discard the unproven; hold fast to that which is good and rational. Too much isolation from world affairs by America; an iniquitous'high tariff, designed for good of a few; suffocative great trusts whose menace grows apace; deadly tentacles of stupendous money power that throttles liberty of choice and effort, hindering individual independence; huge inherited wealth that fosters idleness, dissipation ami folly. loo great wealth should be opprobrious and uni lawful because of the. hurt it does to those whose careers are handij capped, dwarfed; with initiative lost, j Foolish divorce laws provoke infi! delity and unhappiness.

Nuite, County Forester) In spite of a dense pall.of smoke which has been hanging over the country for the past few weeks, Forest Lookout Fred Wilson,, discovered and reported to County Forester Nuite a woods fire about six miles east of Camden on property of Ingleside Plantation,. Inc., known locally as the "Old Spears Place." Tho County Forester left immediately for the fire with modern fire fighting tools, picking up a fire crew en route.' With the did of natural fire breaks, such us roads and trails, the fire was soon under control with an area burned of only 10 to 12 acres. It has been said that "adequate fire protection is 75 per cent of forestry." ' Ordinary precautions on the part of any hunting or camping party, such as would be exercised about our own homes, would prevent.) woods fires and the least that sportsmen could do in return for the courtesy extended to them by country landowners is to exercise as much thought is protecting their property against damage as thoy would their own. Unlessv some steps be; taken on the part of sportsmen, tourists, campers and those who use the woods .to minimize woods fires, a great and important conservation work in the state will be ruined, and it will be a matter of but a short time until our careless and thoughtless brothers will have robbed all of us, of the best of our fields for hunting. The thought might be borne in mind, too, that it is entirely possible where destructive woods fires can be traced to the carelessness of parties camping, hunting or otherwise using the woods, the responsibility for material damage is chargeable to them and they may have to settle for it. Too few people realize the tremendous damage- and los- suffered from fire in Kershaw county and the State of South ("a* iina every year. This is an annual waste that can and should be prevented. Mr. Hunter, Mr. Tourist and Mr. Woods User, the Kershaw County Forestry Association requests your thoughtful cooperation. I* fiends of Dr. T. B. Bruce will regret to learn that he is confined to the Camden hospital, having undergone an operation for appendicitis.
