Friday, April 14, 1939 "~8TOP WOODS FIRES IN COUNTY The Press and Standard was much plousod with the reference In Judge Manii'H charge to the grand Jury ubout the serious consequences following woods fires. He possibly does not know that Colleton county taxpayers are paying each year the sum of $4.00U to support a complete fire protection zone for the entire county. He perhaps could not Infer this after seeing the hlackoned /teres burned over as a result of carelessness or Intentional setting woods afire?acres In black-mourning for the death of young trees In acres burned. It is reported there were thirty-one fires In the county during the week ending March 31, burning a total of 987 acres, and this was a smaller acreage than other weeks will show. This large area was burned la spite of efforts made by the crews of the county aided by the members of the Stokes CCC camp. What a wasteful and destructive practice is this of burning over our productive, wealthproducing lands! Surely our people cannot take seriously the great destruction caused by these fires, not do they get the full significance of the fact who said, "Only (Jod can make a tree."?VValterboro Press and Standard.

Camden Baseball Hangs In Balance Does Camden want good baseball I during the summer niuuiL? For over a month now the. buj reau of publicity of the chamber of 1 commerce, backed by the opinion of I Jack Corbett. President Wilder of the 1 Sully league. Karl Blue of the Colutnf bia Reds.

Cheraw, Orangeburg. Newberry and Sumter. | One year as a semi-pro organization | and then go into organized baseball, its an "E" league. With lights for night play the "K" program could be made a success. That is not only our opinion but the opinion of Messrs. Corbett, Wilder, Blue. Fennel ami others. If such a program is carried out and Camden is to be included, something definite will have to be decided within the next week Sumter. Orangeburg. Newberry and other cities are ready to send delegates to an organization meeting.
