i 4 Pine Paper Seen as Boon to This State Fast Growing Trees iV This Section ' “ I \ A \ >uld Give Big Advantage to, South Cairolna. Seen and Heard Here During the Past Week A Little Sense and Nonsense About People You Know and Others V b You Don’t Know. unwell County, in common\with all of the South Carolina LowcounVy, has great potentialities for develo ment as a source for pine to be used in the projected newsprint industry in Georgia, according to timber men. They sa^ that thg coastal sections of North ’Carolina and South Carolina would be an een better source c supply than Georgia. The successful making of newsprint from pine trees was hailed in Geor gia Monday when nine of the State’s leading newspapers published editions on the newsprint made from pine trees. Dr. Charles H. Herty, Savan nah chemist, developed the process, which may revolutionize the news print industry in the United States. In the past most of the paper ^sed by newspapers in he United States has been imported from Canada or other foreign countries where the pulp is taken from spruce trees. Other Experiments Failed. Many experiments have been made with pulp from pine trees, but Dr. Heity’s is the first that has proved to be satisfactory. The newsprint from pulp of pine trees can be made cheaper than the spruce newsprint and its development will bring to the United States an industry in which it has never shared'to any great extent. The paper bn which the Georgia newspapers were printed 'Monday was made from Georgia pines, but Charles ton timber men said that the South Carolina pines grow more rapidly than those in Georgia. They estimated that maturity of the shortleaf pines in this State is a third faster than maturity of the longleaf Georgia pines. They said that the South Caro lina pines would be just as suitable for the newsprint industry. The West Virginia Pulp and Paper company, through a subsidiary, the Cooper River Timber company, now controls thousands of acres of pine land in the Lowcountry and it is un derstood that it has been using at least some pulp from pines in the manufac ture of paper of various 1<inds. Georgia Product. The Georgia ptoduct, however, is made wholly with pulp, from pines. The pulp was sent in three special cars to Canada, where it was made into newsprint and tested. Twelve million tons of newsprint, two-thirds of the world output, are consumed annually In the United States. The value of the United States consumption is $600,000,000. Only one-third of the total consumed in this country is produced in the country. The other two-thirds comes mostly from Canada. The United States production has been sinking rapidly in recent years as log supplies in the northern tier States gave out. New Pastor Assigned to Methodist Church The Rev.

Although the locals lost to the strong Carlisle and Bailey prep school teams, Brookland-Cayce is the only ugh school eleven that has defeated Jarnwell this season and victories iave been scored over the Columbia Sees, Blackville, Bamberg, Estill and Denmark. Camden and Barnwell have met on two previous occasions. Two years ago the locals were defeated by a good margin but last year the con test resulted in a 6 to 6 tie. Camden, lowever, is said to have a much stronger team this year and Barnwell las also shown steady improvement throughout the season, especially in blocking. The local boys displayed their fighting ability on more than one occasion, as witness the Carlisle game, when the cadets were scored on for the first time this season, and the spirit displayed against Denmark whon they came from behind to score two touchdowns to win.

The locals recovered a fumble in Denmark territory early in the first quarter and quickly drove over their first touch down. Smoak, who was the shining light of the Denmark backfield and a constant threat, started a drive on his 20-yard line with a long pass and a few minutes later ran 18 yards around end for a touchdown. Barn well threatened to score twice in the second quaiter, one drive being halted on the visitors’ one-yard line. The half ended with the ball in the locals’ possession on the Denmark 25-yard marker. ' Taking the opening kick-off at the beginning cf the second half, Smc ran through the whole Barnwell team for Denmark’s second and last score of the _game.

'imt in State and One of Fifty Counties in the United States. In addition to leading all other South Carolina Counties in the pro duction of asparagus, cucumbers and cantaloupes and being high up among the 50 leading counties in the entire United States in the production and value of these crops, Barnwell County is also the leading producer of water melons jn South Carolina, ranking 18th in the United States in acreage a(nd 20th in the value of the crop. According to a report just made public by the Department of Com merce, 2,816 acres of melons were planted in this county, the value of which was $93,734, thus bringing the total value of these fouf truck crops to more than half the value of cotton crop at ten cents '(a Hampton County, with 2,704 acres, ranked second in the State arid 20th in the United States in acr^tage.and 12th in value of the cr< od, which is placed at $124,538. Allendale County was 24th in acreage arid 37th in value, while Bamberg County was 38th in acreage and 62nd in value. No other South Carolina counties were listed in the report. A Texas county headed the list of the leading fifty in acreage, although Imperial County, Calif.„ was first in value of the crop, the melons from 4,- 266 acres selling for $570,119. In cluded in the list were nine counties in Texas and 19 in Georgia,—Brooks, Colquit and Thomas in the last named State ranking second, third and fourth. The comparatively late date at which South Carolina watermelons are marketed is no doubt largely raspoa- sible for the lower ranking on the value as compared with the age harvested.

Brown. Preliminary work Is already way and it is understood that struction will begin in the very future. The plans call for the building of sand-clay highways as follows: Press Hilda to Barnwell; from Williston to Dunbarton; from Blackville to Hilda, and from Meyer’s Mill to State High way No. 64 (the Barn well-Angnata highway.) In addition, Senator Brown said, the present bituminous surfaced highways in this county will be re- psired where necessary.
