201,876 forest tree seedlings, or 10.4 !
per. cent of all seedlings planted in
the state. I ^
Since January 1, 1032, as shown h
by the records of the State Forest "
Nursery, 563,511 forest tree seedlings 11
have been planted in the state; of J
these 267,650 were planted in Ker- 8
shaw county, or 60.1 per. cent of all H
seedlings planted. in the state. i c
Plantings in the county for 1032 8
are as follows: I
C. M. Leonard 100,000 longleaf l
pines, 100,000 slash pines, 600 locust; e
H. G. Lloyd 27,000 longleaf pines, 1
12,000 slash pines, 250 locust; Walton j

slash pines, 850 locusts.
It has been estimated by the State

has some 22,000 acres needing planting.
The planting season has not
closod and any farmer or landowner
desiring seedlings may secure same
from the State Forest Nursery located
near Camden at a cost of $3.00
per thousand, It is- urged that the
farmers and landowners of the county
plant their idle acres to forest ^ees,
thereby making these lands an asset
instead of a liability. The advice
and assistance of the county forester
is available without cost to those
who desire to do this work. |
Trustees and superintendents of
12 of the financially weaker school
districts of Spartanburg county, Tuesday
night called upon their county

, know definitely whether or not they
will be able to complete a ninemonths
session or will have to close
after a seven months term.

7 Forest fire, driven by winds of gale
i proportions, were reported as sweep?
ing over thousands of acres of North

tions of the state. Fighters along a
a 20-mile front between Carthage and
/ Fort Bragg were merely able to turn
the flames from buildings at times.

The following tribute by John A.
fcCaakill hml tJ. it. MeKtnnon, as a
ommittee, is paid to the memory of
ilexander Bethune McLaurin, by the
tethune Presbyterian church:
"Whereas, the Heavenly Father, in
is eternal wisdom has called unto
in;self one of our members, Alexaner
Bethune McLaurin, on the evenng
of January 22nd, 1032; and
irhercas, he was a beloved ruling
Cider and a Christian man whose uneLfish
life and noble spirit will preerve
alive his memory in the hearts
if all who knew him. He was diligent
and successful in business, with
in untarnished record of integrity,
ie was a wise counsellor, a true and
oval friend. He had endeared himielf
to all by his many noble traits
>f character. He was a loving friend,
; kind and indulgent father, and the
tome to him was the center of every
ntcrest.
"His faith was followed by his
ivorks. He gave of his time, his
thought and substance unstintingly to
:he service of the church.
"In the men's Bible class of which
he was the beloved teacher for many
years, his tine qualities of mind and
Kpurt were loyally devoted to the
truth revealed in God's holy Word.
His faith always seemed clear and
strong. ,
- "In the session of his wise counsel,
his devotion to, and enthusiasm for
the programs and endeavors of the
church, both at home and abroad made
him an Elder to be admired.
"In every capacity in which he
sePvod the Chinch his many noble
traits of character were felt. His
implicit faith in God, his cheerfulness,
his firmness of decision, his
happy disposition, all these and more
were blended into a kindly and lovable
personality.
"Therefore, be it Resolved:
"That in the departure of .our valued
member, friend and Christian
Brother, we have suffered an irreparable
Joss and deprived of a personal
association which was at all times
helpful and precious.
I "That we express in these few
words our sincere appreciation of his
life and labors which were so constant,
so unselfish, so abundant, so
clothed with the beautiful spirit of
Christ, and so unassumingly communicative
of genuine Christian benevolence.
"That we cherish his memory and
relying upon the grace of God which
was so eminently bestowed upon him,
we endeavor to emulate his pure,
Christian life.
"That a page be set apart in the
Sessional records to his memory, a
"copy he sent to his bereaved family
and a copy sent te the paper for puV
lication."
Examinations will be held at ar
early date to fill vacancies for post
masters at post offices at Aiken anc

ies respectively of $'2,000 and $2,500
