Forest Fire Tower j For Mount Pisgah Arrangements are now practically complete whereby the State and Fedw , eral Government will erect a 100 foot steel tire lookout tower in the Mt. I'istfah- Hethune sen t ion of Kershaw county. County Forester Nuite and County Ajront Greet) have kept in eonta t with the State Foresty Commission for some time relative to getting this projrvt under way and when an agreement was reached between State Forester Smith and Mr. Nuite and Mr. Gieit! a.s to the requirements for Kcttititf the new tower steps were immediately taken for having the people <.f t he Mt. Pispah-iiethune section and the county authorities comply y.'ith their part of the arra riKement.

A committee of ten men was appointed and this committee met with Senator G. C. Welsh, Mr .Green and Mr. Nuite m Cunnien on Saturday, .June 3, at which time letters of endorsement ' were drawn up and signed by the Forestry Com/mittee from the Mount i Pisgah station and also one by Sen! ator Wels?h. Representative J. R. Belk was interviewed later and signed the endorsement along with Sen, a or Wei.-n. Rt presentative Rower., of Hlaney, could not be reached by [ It lephone at tiiut time but copies of tiie endorsement were mailed to him. j The people of the Mt. Pisgah secI tion have shown unusual and spier-j did interest in forestry and tire prevention ever since the county a-rcnt j and finny forester have worked in j 1 Kt'i-haw county, and it is believed that tiie ranger district which will be established there wil] be one of the best in the county, due not only to the ideal forestry conditions that cxt i<t in that section, but also to the i splendid spirit of cooperation constantly manifested by the people theie. It is hoped that this matter j may lie carried through very soon j and that the tower may be erected j and the ranger district established with a permanent lookout and other personnel within the very near fut tire.

Morgan A Co. Sports Editor Pays Tribute to Clyburn In a recent issue of the Lexington, Ky., Herald, Neville Dunn, writing under the caption "Snapshots at Sport.%" has the following to smy of a Camden boy as a horseman: "The next time you folks go out to the Iroquois polo flekl to see a game, east your peepers on a young fellow named thmmy Clyburn, who will bo playing on the Hamburg Place team. In him, you will see as accomplished a horseman as ever wore boots in Kentucky, "This young man 1ms grown up with horsee. IIo has been connected with thmn all his life. He knows horses so well and thoy know him so well?the ones he has ruble n or trained?that whenever on? sees him approaching, he neighs in delight. The horse knows that when, Jimmy Olyburn cHrrrbs on his back, there will not bo any sawing of a tender mouth, no shifting weight 'to xjhrow him off balance. Jimmy has hands that are as tender with the reins as a mother with a babe, and a seat as snug as the saddle ho sits in. j "Jim Haiiach, the deeatlvion cham-j jpion, probably oouTd bo beaten in any J one of his repertoire of cveilts by a '-jh;i lali.-t. but ne could and did beat ! any man who tried to beat him in all I of them, li is Bausch's all-around i proficiency in the decath-ion that made him the champ. "Well, there may be any number I of men who can outshine Jimmy Clyburn in any one equine feat, but we venture to say that there is not a man living who is his superior in a docathion, so to speak, of horseman-, ship. i "Jimmy Clyburn successfully trained a stable of thoroughbreds for Samuel Russell of the Camden Hunt j and Polo Club for several years, and i trained and rode winning races for! him in the various amateur meets in Connecticut, particularly at the Middletown and Leitchfiekt meets. "Jimmy Clyburn has ridden and won in flat races on the various tracks in South Carolina. "Jimimy Clyburn has successfully ridden steeplechase, post and rail ami j brush races since 1927. Do you remember Word of Honor, the thor- ( oughbred jumper that won the $5,000 Prince of Wales Stakes and the : Llangollen Cup for Shelby Harbison, j of Lexington, in 1931? Well, Jimmy j Clyburn was in Word of Honor's sad- j die when he won those events. "Jimmy Olyburn is an accomplish- i cd show ring man and has accounted for plenty of ribbons throughout the South and in New England. "Jimmy Clyburn may not be as great a huntsman as John Peel, but i he has trained hunters since he was j a kid, has hunted the various south- ; ern courses, the New England drags and of course, the Iroquois Hunt course here in Lexington. He was whip with the Camden Hunt for two years. "Jimmy Clyburn is about as fine a polo player as we ever saw. Because he does not belong to an official -polo club, he carries no handicap. But he's a three-goal player if we ever saw one. "Try and find a young man who | can do as many things on the back j <.f a horse as Jimmy Clyburn. "This gifted young fellow?he was I born in l'.'l'J in Camden. S. C.,?has j been e. r. nee ted with Hamburg Place sin c It'll. He va- brought here by Edward Madden, who engaged him in j South Carolina. He is a >on of Mr. | ami .Mrs. W. C. Clyburn and, girls, he's as handsome as a movie actor. Rising Prices Bring | a Bright Outlook The go ve raiment's effort to raise commodity prices and to improve the farmer's position with respect to the cost of things he has to buy is apparently yielding far reaching results throughout the south. Careful review of reports appearing in newspapers from the entire cotton belt indicate a more optimistic feeling and a correspondingly larger volume of business than has been noted in several years. An outstanding example of the improvement in farm purchasing power is revealed in the action taken by the Chilean nitrate producers last fall, reducing the price of the natural nitrate to correspond with the level of cotton prices at that time. Current prices quoted by local dealers show that soda is selling about thirty^three and a third per cent under last season's prices, while cotton has advanced nearly 80 per cent. Measured in terms of those two commodities, therefore, farm buying power is fully double that of last year; one pound of cotton now will buy more than twice as much Chilean soda as it bought last year. Looking ahead to next year, with its bright prospect for still higher cotton prices, farmers generally seem to be alert to the unprecedented opportunity open to them in this advantageous exchange of soda for cotton, and dealers report a real old time side-dressing demand for cotton and corn. j Church Services at Bothesda ^ j Presbyterian church services for Sunday, June 11, announces A.

Byrnes is likely to be appoints! t<> that cabinet position, Washington correspondents said yesterday. but neither this, nor the resignation of Woodin is at all certain. Ice Cream Festival The members of the Mi. Zion day school gave ah ice cream supper at the church last Saturday evening. A picnic table was placed under the pines and lights were hung around the table making the scene most eit^p d ive. Ice cream and cake were enjoyed' by everyone throughout the evening. We were very glad to have such a largo number of members present and wo were delighted to have so many visitors, among them being- Mr. and Mrs. Ben Cole, of Washington, iMrs. Hammond and daughter, of Columbia, and others, After refreshments were served all assembled- in the church for prayer.
