C. McCarley, advising that if these pullets are to be most profitable. the owner must k&cty an eye on them from the time they #jre put in the laying hpuse until the whole flock comes Into Production. "It may be that some of^ the mow aggrosslvo pullpts will keep others fought off from the feed hoppers," he continues. In such cases, additional food hoppers may correct the trouble. In other cases, It might be well to remove some of the less aggressive pullets ana put them iu u port to themselves. "It would be wise to cull out the slow-developing pullets that are lato coming into production, also those that show any Indications of being sick." Pointing out that sometimes considerable trouble is experienced because of a large numbor of floor eggs, the county agont suggests that additional neHts may help to correct this trouble. If one nest to every four or live hens is already provided, the troublo may be corrected aomowhat by darkening the nosts. This can be . - done by making the nests deeper or by hanging some feed bags about 18 Inches In front of them. If the birds still refuse to use the nests, it would be wise to put the nests on the floor until the pullets get accustomed to using them. "It Is a wise plan," says Mr. McCarley as a final suggestion, "to go Into the house with a dim flashlight or lantern after the birds go to roost to see If certain parts of the roosting space are avoided because of drafts or other reasons. It may be n'ecessary to place some of the pullets on the roost at night until they get the habit." NEW BRIDGE PLANNED FOR WATEREE RIVER EARLY DATE A new bridge, to cost $350,000 may be built over the Wateree river west of Camden within the next two years, and probably within 18 months. The state highway department has received a report from the engineering unit that a now structure of the modern type of bridge would cost approximately the above sum, and Senator S. F. Brasington has expressed the belief that the bridge will bo In actual construction at an early date. In addition to the new bridge news, Senator Brasington also reports that the work of putting on the bituminous surfacing on Highway 26, known as the Eastover road, will be started early In 1938, as the highway department has arranged to receive bids for this job In December. The work of surveying Highway 34, between U. S. No. 1, In ILugoff and the Fairfield county line, is now under way, and when thiy >urvey is completed and the gradb-^ostablished, the state will advertise for bids. It is said that the general route of the new highway will be approximately where the present 34 is, but that a few relocations may iron out some bad curves and grades. A new highway between Liberty! Hill and Kershaw, a distance of 18 miles, opening up virgin territory, rich in beauty and agricultural lands, j Is uuder construction and the work of making a preliminary survey has been started. Senator Brasington, with former governor Richards of Liberty Hill and C. C. Horton of Kershaw consulted with highway commissioner Hamriek of the Kershaw-Richland counties district and state highway commissioner Ren M Sawyer at Columbia Tuesday. t 100 Horses Die In Blaze \.

Students Inspect Timber Harvest During the past week the Vocation- J ai Agricultural classes of Camden and j Baron DeKalb high schools have inspected tlfe~oito-acre demonstration in improved methods of harvesting timber crops established on D. R. Williams' Mulberry PplantatlQn near, Camden by the South Carolina State , Forest Service. Accompanying the students and ^ their teachers was District Forester, R. W. Rieger, who explained the demonstration in detail. The advantages of conservative cutting practices as opposed to clear cutting were emphasized. Mr. Rieger i pointed out the wisdom of converting the tops of trees cut into sawlogs, j into pulpwood and fuel wood thus de-1 riving a profit from material often left in the woods to decay and present a very great fire hazard. The forester stated that the fact that the acre on which the demonstra- j Hon has been established has grown, j an average of 1 1-4 cords per year, which is considerably more than is produced in a year on the average acre of forest land in South Carolinu, can be attributed chiefly to the wisdom of the owner in protecting his lands from tire. The thirty-six year old stand of pines has never been burned over. H. A. Small, who is vocational agriculture teacher at Camden, nnd W. 11 Carter, who has charge of the course at Baron DeKalb high school, state that .their classes were (juick to realize the wisdom of handling timberlands In the manner demonstrated They felt the Inspection a very Interesting und worthwhile one. Dry Weather Increased Fires Ranger W. C. Perry reports that the period of dry weather which was i broken by rain last Thursday night resulted In numerous woods fires in the county. The ranger states that, during the i week ending Thursday, November 11, j seven fires burned over 22.9 acres of woodland in Kershaw county. Mr Perry urges hunters, woodsi working crews and others having oct raston to go into the woods to take I every precaution to prevent the oc. curence of woods fires. Columbia police captured Worth Proctor and Sam Thompson, two of the gang ot convicts who escaped from the North Carolina penitentiary and later killed a policeman in Asho, ville. The most notorious of the escaped convict*, Bill Payne, eluded jthe Columbia officers in a wild chase * through the business part of the city, 'with the police unable to shoot without endangering other people. Payne | and Jack Barden, his pal, left Colum. Ma, on the road to Wfauufroro and I disappeared. The gang palled recent S.W6WTT. The Last Trip of | The Hindenberg i Our trip on the Hlndenburg in May was the most uneventful Journey 1 ( ever undertook in en airship. Visl*1 billty was bad, and. we had barely j glimpsed the North Atlantic before ( we had crossed it. Passengers spent their time reading, addressing post-j cards In the writing room, discussing. Germany's problems in the smoking j salon. In the reading room i'tbe Doehner children played games while their mother crocheted. ' The ship, glided as smoothly through the black storm clouds as though it were a calm, moonlight night. On the third day we sighted Newfoundland. Binoculars and cameras | appeared, and my wife's delight grew when the white dots along the coast j turned out to be icebergs. The cap- ( tain ordered the ship to fly low and steer toward them. Very slowly we passed over the most beautiful, which | looked like a magic marble statue. The sun came out and laid a double J rainbow around the airship. The giant iceberg turned Into a monument- of sparkling brilliants. . 1 Wo glimpsed the foothills, tho lighthouse on Cape Race, the limitless Beggar Woman j Left Money Hoard: North WHkesboro, N. C.? Nov. 19? 1 Mary Bauguess, 63-year-old recluse who died this week from burns, had j cash amounting to $2,030.72?but had j sought and received relief right up to her death. I The unusual case cjame to light ^ aTter her death when neighbors, who ; J went to her home to look after the household, found money in every con'da boxes, cabinets, cupboard, old cans, old clothes, shoes and in many places where money was least expected to be found. {1 The neighbors also found an abun-.' dance of good clothing stored in the house?although Mary wore rags un- (< til her- death. j1 The elderly woman had lived alone 1 the past year since the death of her (1 mother. Neighbors, hearing screams i Monday morning, discovered her (< clothes burning./ She was rushed 1 to ] a hospital but died later. U The first money found, 3108, wasj wrapped in an old newspaper on the ; floor. Search uncovered money in at i least 50 places in tho dilapidated 3-1 room bungalow?and with each depos- _ i It a rabbit's tall, which, neighbors said, had been a Joken of good In the family for generations. Mary had obtained relief from the local relief offices and had begged J food, clothing and money?in tattered , clothes and barefooted?at many of the homes. SHORT LENGTH HARDWOOD LUMBER BOOM TO FARMER. Manufacture of short length hardwood lumber Is providing farmers with a better market for farm timber | since the lumber trade found a do-1 mand for thlB typo <Of lumber from j both farmers and manufacturers, re-1 ports the Forest Products Laboratory of the United States Forest Service. The trade calls short length lumberdimension stock. Demand for siuch stock not only provides a market fo?? short pieces that formerly were waste! nt the mill, but also make It possible , for farmers to sell logs frorrt their I woodlands at fairly good prices which previously were used only as fuel, j More general acceptance of dimension stock where It can be used In place of long, wide lumber will be a forward stride in the conservation of hard-1 wood, timber and will aid In stabilising many secondary wood-using Industries. the Forest Service says. Dimension stock may be cut directly from large or small logsf short bolts, round or square, edged timber,1 Jthe siding and sawmill waste. | Tho hardwood region of New Eng-, ; land is providing most of the dlmen-^ islon stock at present, due to local de^j J mand a from manufacturers of furi^i-^ ture, sporting goods, toys, tool haa*i dies, wagons and other products. Gua Olivia, who at one time coupt- I ed hia personal fortune at $4,600,006, r turned up In San Francesco the other day with $L20 In hia pockets, a patch p on hie pants and facing a? charge of < theft. Ha dsaiee the charge and 9*y mer friends win raise funds tot hfel j forests of the Muterland. Then the coast sprang bft<* aw* we wsaln floated, u gray object In a gray mint, over the inylalble sea. On the forenoon of the fourth day we were over American territory. Boston passed below us, hidden in the mint. Everyone was excited. The passengem packed and collected their papers for their passport examination. The stewards removed the bedclothes and piled them at the end of the cor\ rldors. They arranged the baggage In the stair hall, For an hour the Hlndenburg cruised over New York. We were high, and In the mist the skyscraper* below u? appeared like a board full of nails. Then the sun for a short while dispelled the mist, and we flew so low that we could See the photographei s on the top of the Empire Btate Building. The viaducts and highways were in relief as in a model, and in a filigree of steel the bridges swung across the rivers. The Statue of Liberty could be seen, small as a porcelain figure. A short time later we passed low over the field at Lakehurst. The landing crew had been ordered for 4 p. m.f but thunderstorms, which crowded around the airport like a pack of hungry wolves, caused the ship s commander to move on. This was a bitter disappointment. I saw automobiles parked around the edges of the landing field and peoplo waving to us. I knew that among them were two brothers whom I had not seen for 30 years. We were riding south along the storm wall, from which slanting bolts of lightning leaped. We did not hear the thunder. Above the sea-like mouth of the Delaware, the Hlndenburg turned about. The storm had subsided, and at, the airport landing conditions were now favorable. A last threateningly, while with lowered j nose and high speed we pushed] through a last rain curtain. The han-J, gar came into view, the sliding doors ( wide open.' vTho Hlndenburg turned in a sharp \ ^urve In order to head into the wind, i Water ballast went splashing earth- l svard to prevent us from landing too , fast. From a height of 150 feet, two , ropes fell from the bow. Two columns Df landing crew seized the ropes and pulled the ship toward one of the movable mooring masts. < With my wife I was leaning out of i a window on the promenade deck. 3uddenly there occurred a remarkable stillness. The motors were silent, and It seemed as though the whole world was holding its breath. One heard no command, no call, no cry. The people we saw seemed suddenly stiffened. I could not account for this. Then I heard a light dull de-. tonation from above, no louder than the sound of a beer bottle being opened. I turned my gaze toward the . bow and noticed a delicate rose glow, as though the sun were about to rise. I understood immediately that the airship was aflame. There was but one chance for safety?to jump out. The distance from the ground at that moment may have been 120 feet. For a moment I thought of getting bed linen from the corridor in order to soften our leap, but in the same Instant, the airship crashed to the ground with terrific force. Its impact threw us from the window to the stair corridor* The tables and chairs of the reading room crashed about and Jamwed us in like a barricade. ' "Through the windowI" I shouted to my fellow passengers, and dragged my wife with me to onr observance window. Reality Skased with one stroke, as tho\igh fate in its cruelty was yet K^mpassionate enough to withdraw from its victims the consciousness of their horror. I do not know, and my wife does not know, hoyr we leaped from the airship. The distance from the ground may have been twelve or flfte&f feet. I distinctly felt my feet touch the soft sand and grass. We collapsed to our knees, and the impenetrable darkness of black oil clouds, shot through with flames, enyeloped us. We had to let go of each other's hands In ordeT to make our way through the confusion of hot metal pieces and wires. We befit the hot metal apart with our bare hands without feeling pain, x We freed ourselves and ran through I Nit of Are. It was like a dream. Our bodies had no weight. They flbatf~Alf at onoe I had * ftftllng that mf wife was mm li?T by mf Hie. I IW^'HuflMiii iTi if if !T!W 11.111 !! U 1?I CT=g turned about, and the flames and poisonous amoksyapora, struck me. squarely In the ' I ta%W stretched out full imtotfQMNI Motionless 90 the ground. I fl<^|pdL^b her and putr*l her upright. I gave her a push anil Mw her rOnnM JfcjMe like a mechal^l toy that baa beisn woupd up. The violence of the push threw me on my side. T lay Oh the Git-, drenched, burning ground, and I had the, feeling of well-being to stretch out and uwait death that the thought did no frighen me. Then I lifted my head to see if my wife waa safe* and saw her, half blurred, running through the smoke vapors. That gave n?e a new start. I Sprang up aa though electrified add hulled myself after the phantom of life. All at once .my scorched throat again breathed air. 1 stood still and . turned around to the ship. Behind the thick smoke the sky-ship that had carried us across the ocean blazed like an Immense torch. Something drew me' toward It; I cannot say whether It was the feeling that I must try to save others, or that demonlike urge of self-deBtruction which drives the moth into, the flame. My wife called to me, called more urgently and ran back to me. She spoke ; persuasively; took me by the hand; ' led me away. We walked along the firewall and stumbled over the body of one of the 1 landing crew. An ambulance that , canle tearing to the scene took us to 1 the small airport hospital. ItB rooms 1 swarmed with excited people llk^ a disturbed ant heap. In the corridors on tables, stretchers and chairs lay the seriously wounded. An ambulance orderly with a morphine syringe the ( size of a bicycle pump ran about and j wanted to give everyone an Injection. 1 In one room a, dying young mechan- j Ic called from his stretcher alternate- t ly for his bride In Germany and a by. He was badly burned and hung more In the arms of his companions than walked. Men with bloody burns strode searchlngly through the rooms. In the next room we entered, Cap-i tain Lehmann was crouched upon a table. He was half unclad and sat bent over. In jumping from the gon-; dola he had broken his back. None! of us knew at the time the gravity; of his condition. I went to him.1 "What caused it?" I asked. "Light-; ning," he replied. These were the only words we exchanged. What could we have said to each other M the face of disaster, which brought death to him? We looked Into each otter's. ?ye?: when I could no_ longer contain myself, I left. Outside, the airship was still burning. The cause of the disaster has been thoroughly discussed by the Investigating committee. The main point remains tjhat, in future inflammable gas must not be used on passenger airships, V England's R101 and Germany's Hindenbiirg are warning enough. If, in the future, German and American ships filled with nonexploslve gas safely make their way ] across the ocean, then our sufferings have not been in vain. n hi.11 ii .
