A Veteran Editor- X Personally to edit and manage continuously through 17 years a county newspaper is to participate in a pe- J culiarly intimate way in the joys and j sorrows of the community. Charles W. Binhmore, 71, who died yesterday, had borne that relation for nearly a half-century to the Kershaw county weekly, the Wuterec Messenger, which he himself established. Exacting and unremitting as the duties were that called within his own shop, Mr. Birchmore, a loyal churchman, was many years superintendent of his Sunday school (and teacher of his Bible class; sociully sensitive, he mu<U>* time to sit with the state board of ^Ugfities and corrections; interested' in the public schools and in the administration of his county's affairs, he served at other times as county superintendent of education and member of the county board of commissioners. But naturally and properly it was through his newspaper that lie served most and best; and the Wateree Messenger has faithfully reflected these many years a steadfast devotion to the verities that endure.?Columbia State.

A|mong. the crops of South Carolina (forest trees rank first in area occupied and second m value, being exceeded in value only by the cotton crop, says | (). M. Clark, extension economist, who state that in 1929 South Carolina] sawed more than a billion board feet ; of lumber having a value of approxi- j mil to I \ 28 billion dollars. "Practicall> all the lumber produc-i ed has been grown without an\ par-j ticu.ar care or attention given t-> it. ; iu- ihav.j.g been treated mure, as a m:re than a - a crop."

"While lumber is cheap now the, general trend -of prices has been upward for many years. The price of southern pine lumber adjusted to the 192<? price level has increased uniformly $.'C00 a thousand very 10 y tsars since 1899, being $16.00 in 1899, $ 19.00 in 1909, $22.00 in 1919 and $25.00 in 1928. Even though brick, cement and stoel are being used in increasing amounts as building material, there are no indications that the demand for timber products is on the wane." It has been conservatively estimat- : ed that the annual growth per acre could be doubled by giving a little attention to the protection from fires. 1 care in cutting, etc. Mr. Clark thinks ^ that considering the value of the tim-, bor crop (to say nothing of the other ^ Suspended Minister Given Great Ovation Sparta, (In., Nov. 16.?Dr. Humbert G. Smith, suspended for a year by the North Georgia conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, returned to Spartu tonight to be greeted with a demonstration that ; lasted two minutes when ho was introduced to a mass meeting at the Hancock county yourt house. Dr. Smith spoke for an hour and fj'l minutes, reviewing his attacks on certain church leaders arid the ehurgi es brought agajnnt lum, which he ' described as a "dastardly undercover assault." lie sftid he had appealed to Bishop John M. Moore and Bishop W. F. ! McMuriay and other conference leadI erg to outline the charges to be brought against him but he wus denied the information and forced to go on trial without an opportunity to prepare a defense. He cited his own conduct when he brought charges aguinst Bishops Moore, E. D. Mou/.on, II. M. DuBose and James Cannon, Jr. He said he notified the bishops in advance of the charges but was denied similar treatment. Dr. Smith again attacked the activities of Bishop Cannon whom he called the "political bishop." Prolonged upplause greeted the statement .that Bishop Cannon had "wrecked the judicial system of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South." The crowd ugain applauded for some time when, in discussirtfc the findings of the trial committee, Dr. Smith said: "I am defying 'high unministerial conduct' as telling the truth about a political bishop." The minister said the church law [under which he-was found guilty of "high unministerial conduct." was ' passed at the general conference of the church in Dallas in P.t'lO and that he had since learned the law was 'made "especially for some ca-es that needed at tent ion." All I'hurrh services in Sparta were su.-perilled tonight for the mas- meeting. \V. 1). Donvin, chairman of the board of -towards of Dr. Smith's former church here, said after the meeting that the hoard would "takeno action" until after the conference appointed another man for Dr. Smith's place. A majority of the members of the church had appealed to the conference to return the Sparta nvinister to his charge. INNOCENT MEN LYNCHED i Is ( onclusion of Southern Commission Studying I.ynchings in South Atlanta, Ga. -Conclusions that two of the twenty-one persons lynched in It'll) "certainly" were innocent and eleven others "possibly" so were advanced Monday by the Southern Commission on the -tudy of lynching, along with a criticism of hasty trials and "legal lynching*." I'lie commission listed as findings of a year's -urvev that: There is real d >but of guilt of at least half the victims of mob violence. Fewer than one-fourth of the persons lynched since 181H) have been accused of assaults upon white women. Claims that lynching* are necessary because courts do not convict negroes for their crimes are fallacious. out difficulty, although grand jury indictments seldom are brought. Lynching is most frequent per tens of thousands of negro population in sparsely settled areas. There is direct relationship between lack of educatiorf. low economic status and lynching danger. The report was made public here today by the commission's chairman, George Fort Milton, president and editor of the Chattanooga, Tenn., !ww-. AsMH-iatcd with him in the study were: Jul:nn llarri.-, iu-\vs direct, r of the Atlanta ('ens:itution; Dr. John Hope. } : e-uii-nt of Atlanta l'nive.r<ity ( fov.eg ee-i; Dr. B? njam.n F.

J. MeGlothlin, president of Furman University and of the Southern Baptist Convention; Pr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegeo Institute (for negroes;) Dr. Howard W Odum, University of North Carolina. Regarding offenses that resulted in lynchings, the commission said: "One was lynched solely because he had offended political opponents and another to prevent his appearance as a witness in a serious court case against white men." values that forests have) we should follow sounder forestry management practices and policies thaiv we are now following with our forest areaa, which constitute about half the land area of the state.

I Ttirn Your Leaves Into Fertilizer i In many cities and towns throughout The country..tbi'iT. ig a comnp.endable movement on foot to do away with the old method of disposing of the leaves which cover lawns and gardens during the fall. The customary practice of burning creates a vicious smoke nuisance which is objected to by even the most fair-minded citizen. Often the leaves are raked into the street gutters toj be burned. While this is a reason-! ably safe place from the standpoint of fire hazard, it may be quite destructive to the pavement. Especially is this true if the street is paved with crushed stone bound together j with tar or asphaltic material. The damage is evidenced in later months by a crumbling or disintegration of the street surface. A useful method of disposal which ! is meeting with almost universal ap1 proval is to compost the leaves. This ! is easily done by piling alternate lay1 ers of '.eaves and dirt on the ground I or in a rough wooden box of suitable i size. 4lierore covering Va<-h layer of I leaves v..th dirt, spread a thin coating of a mixture composed of 2 parts hydrated lime, 2 parts superphosphate and 1 part ammonium sulphate on the mass. Continue in this man-j tier until all the leaves and debris are used. Early in the spring pile of material should be forked over and at that time a little more of the limesuperphosphate-ammonium sOlphate mixture may be added. These materials, which are procurable at garden supply stores, hasten the rotting process and add to the fertilizing valuq of the decomposed mass. DurI ing the summer the compost may be used on the lawn, on flower beds, around shrubs, etc., furnishing the soil with the much-needed and highlyvalued humus. R. W. Kurfees uf Cooleemee, N.
