NOTES ON FORESTRY IN BARNWELL COUNTY l By Albert A. West here bee, Co. Warden The Barnwell County Forestry Pro tective Association is exerting a de termined* effort to prevent or extin guish and therebey control forest fires adjacent to Barnwell County. Protection of our forests should be- a Natural reaction of our people, since the forests of Barnwell Cunty, in dol lars and cents, represent an estimated asset to the County of twenty-five to thirty million dollars, which return to their owners about one million dollars per year. These estimates are based 1 on the figures of the State Forestry Commission, given for the entire State of South Carolina and on the premise that Barnwell County is an average timber producing county. •But since this enormous asset is God- given and not earned by the sweat of. our brows, many of our people are un able td appreciate it ot realize value. Our appreciation is so small, that we have in the past, either per mitted or encouraged fires to ravage and damage our valuable forests year after year. With the encouragement of our President, our State officials and other far-sighted and noble-mind ed gentlemen, the Barnwell County Forestry Protective Association has' .• been organized and has become a reality, a unit functioning for the weF fare of the- people of Barnwell Coun ty and is similar to the Forestry' Pro tective units in other counties. Its purposes are to preserve one of our greatest resogrce s and to maitain its natural beauty. ‘Its duties are to pre vent, if posible, and to extinguish forest fires. Its success will depend largely on the amount of co-operation it will receive from the planters, land- owmers and citizens of Barnwell County. In order that it might be a worth while endeavor to Barnwel County, we call upon every citizen of Barnwell County to assist us in preventing • forest fires. We can do this and there by protect our forests, as 97 per cent of our forest fires are man-ma<fe. By exercising .reasonable care this per centage can be reduced to zero. We mrge the farmers who wish to bum fields or ponds to take every pre caution against letting fire get into the woods. If before such burning, the farmer will notify the County R^a- ger, M. F. Ussery, or either of the County Wardens, Reeves Grttbbi ' bf ! Albert A. Weathersbee, one of them will endeavor to be present at such fields or pond burnings to supervise the promed'ure and to take charge, should fire by any chance make its way into the woodland. . “A FOREST FIRE IS NOBODY’S GAIN.” Collier- Baxley^^ Norway, Dec. 14.—An event of wide interest was the wedding of Miss Sarah Elizabeth Collier, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Collier, of Norway, and Paul A. Baxley, of Black- ville, which was solemnized in St. John’s Methodist Church, of Norway, Wednesday afternoon, Nov- 27th. The ceremony, which waa character ized by beauty and dignity, was per formed by the Rev. E. K. Garrison, presiding elder of the Orangeburg dis trict. - The church was simply and artistic ally decorated. Miss Emma Moss at the piano, Marvin Davis played a vio lin selection while the candles were be ing lighted by the ushers, James Col lier, brother of the bride, and Bob Sandifer. “I Love You Truly” and “O Perfect Love” were sung by a trio composed of the Misses Dorothy McCants, Gladys Hydrick and Nancy Owens. The bride was attended by Miss Myrtis Spier, of Savannah, Ga., as maid of honor. She was s attractively attired in a dress of plum crepe with harmonizing accessories. She wore a beautiful shoulder corsage of Mare- chel Neil roses. The little ringbearer, Charlotte Boltin, carried the ring on a silver .tray. The bride was given in marriage by her father. She was lovely in a dress of royal blue crepe trimmed with gold. Her costume was enhanced by gold accessories and a corsage of Sweet heart roses. t _- * The bride’s mother wore a brown outfit with a beautiful shoulder cor sage of .Talisman roses. The bride is the only daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Collier. She was graduated from Hampton high school in 1930 and the Warren Can dler hospital school of nurses in Sav annah, Ga., in May, 1934. She has been connected with the hospital as supervisor since graduation. The bridegroom, who was attended by his brother, J. T. Baxley, of Au gusta, Ga., met the bride at the altar. Mr. Baxley is the son of J. V. and* the late Mrs. Caroline Baxley, of Blackville. He received his education at Clemson college and is now engaged in extensive farming operations.

Grubbs and Family. v Send Us Your Orders For Job Work In these days when some people think that the government is Santa Claus and every member of Congress possessor of a magic wand which can and will produce crops and jobs and relief money, it is encouraging to hear of independent men who trust in God, work hard and take cafe of . them selves. The story is told of a business man who owned* a farm. His tenants left after two or three socalled crop fail ures. Perhaps the relief jobs were too enticing. One day the owner of the property wag approached by a man dressed* in overalls who stated that he would like to try his hand at the farm. The business man told him to call and see him,a week later. Upon inquiry he found that the man was honest anid a hard worker. The following week they met again and arrangements were completed. The business man was a little, wary thinking perhaps that his new tenant would ask for an ad^fanee of s everal hundred dollars to tide him over until the crops were har vested. The tenant farmer told the business man that he would need* some money for seed, etc. “How much?” asked the business man apprehensive ly. “Well, I think about $50.00 would be ample,” said the farmer. The business man was surprised, expecting his tenant to ask for a much greater that he would like to borrow s truck thathe would like to borrow a truck to move his things. The business man let him have the truck and he pro ceeded to move bis belongings to his new home. The business m#n was a- mazed when he learned that the new tenant possessed some five or six loads of canned goods, hams, shoulders and side meat, sausage and other good things which had been properly pre-, pared by his wife and olbhef members of his family. This man did not require much cash because he did not have to rely upon the village grocery or the crossroads store for his food supply. A real son of the soil, he believed in and practiced self-preservation. He did not place much reliance upon the honeyed words of political propaganda and brain trust management, of agriculture in cluding pigs and cows and bugs. To those who would live well and happy we would say in the words of the Prophet Isaiah, “Sejt thine house in order.” . 1 (To Be 'Continued.)
