McCormick, S. C., January 28, 1930. Why Prevent Woods Fires? Many citizens of South Carolina have the very erroneous idea that forest fires do no damage to the woods and tree growth. This is a very unfortunate state of mind. It is hard to understand why even the person who casually goes into the woods where fires burn can not see the damage that woods fires cause. The next time you take a trip through a forested area it will be well to take a lesson in nature. Very often fire burns on one side of a road and not on the other, due to the fact that the road created a barrier that the fire could not overcome. On the burned side you will see blackened stumps and bowls of trees, dis colored foliage of pines and hard woods and a forest floor practical ly devoid of young trees with many older trees burned to death practically making a desert so far as valuable tree growth is con cerned. Contrast this with the side of the road that has not been burned. There you will find thou sands of thrifty growing pines and hardwoods with healthy looking logs an abundance of green foliage and a forest floor with tons of pine straw and leaves being changed by nature into nourishment for the best development of a tree crop. You will also find on this area many birds and game animals, particularly in the spring of the year during the nesting season. The game can hide in a well stock ed forest and be protected in many ways, whereas on burned areas it is almost constantly being disturb ed by human agencies and des tructive animals. Forest fire kills young and old trees and thereby prevents re forestation; it scars and weakens trees and thus favors attacks of fungi and insects; permits the rain to run off more rapidly; causes erosion and loss of the best soil; destroys the best pasture grasses; burns up thousands of eggs; young birds and animals and does many other things of lesser importance to an industrious community or state. Burning the woods is in strict violation of na ture’s method of doing things. It is, however, in conformance with man’s destructive ideas, which so often are a menace to industry and civilization. Certainly woods fires rob future generations of their share of what nature so abund antly provdied for us and poster ity. There is not one good reason for starting a forest fire. It is a men ace to the best interests of every citizen of the State. This pre ventable evil of burning the woods can be stopped through the urgent and persistent efforts of good citi zens who report forest fires and the persons setting them to the nearest Magistrate or to the State Forestry Commission, 105 State Of fice Building, Columbia. S. C., it is hard to conceive of any person having a desire to burn up his woods or that of his hieghbors. For the benefit of those who wish to grow timber and co-operate with the Forestry Commission in preventing this evil, the following Law has been placed on our sta tute books: AN ACT (Code Laws 1922; Vol. 2; Page 38) Fine, Imprisonment and Pay ment of Damages for Wilfully, Maliciously, or Negligently Firing Woods. “Whoever shall wilfully, malici ously or negligently set fire to or burn grass, brush or other com bustible matter, so as thereby any woods, fields, fences of marshes of any other person or persons be set on fire, or cause the same to be done, or be thereunto aiding or assisting, shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not less than twenty-five nor more than five hundred dollars or imprisonment of not more than one year in county jail, and shall, moreover, be liable to the action of any person or persons who may have sustained damage thereby: WILLINGTON NEWS ITEMS (Too Late For Last Week.) The Meddler And The Gossiper (By Pee Dee Bennettsville.) Advocate Man, There are people who meddle in everything and love to gossip freely. It is their plan to trot about and say “hello” idealy; They pick up things and ask a thousand questions quickly. It makes you dizzy when you’re , busy and faint and somewhat sickly. that and tell you all the news. They ask you “please don’t men tion it, I might my prestige lose;” “Oh, had you heard about the trouble that’s come to neighbor Jones? Or, “how John Doe is carrying on since he has got some loans?” They ask you what your doctor’s bill of last year mounted to, They wonder how much do you buy down at the grocery store; They think it is a mystery how you bought a brand new car. And, as to your daughter’s boy friend, well, “that chap, he ain’t no starl” “Rain, rain, beautiful rain. Merrily, cheerily it falls.” From a human view point, we would say we were not needing rain, but since it comes as a de signing of an un-erring Provid ence, we bow in humble submis sion and enjoy the rain fall as one j of the many beauties of nature. Mr. J. M. Gibert and family and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Andrews mo- i tored to McCormick Saturday af- ! They their tales of this and ternoon. Some miscreant, or perhaps more than one, attempted to break into Mr. Oscar Covin’s store some time during Friday night. Just as the attempt was almost a success, it seems they suddenly left the job, leaving the irons etc., with which they were battering the double doors. As yet, no clue has been found to the bold perpetrators of the act. Mr. Francis Covin and Mr. Al bert McNair of Taylors, were gladly welcomed in Willington for the week end. Albert says he is delighted with his work at Tay lors, • but “There is no place like home.” Mr. Bill Lawton is shipping a quantity of nice pine wood from Willington. We do not know that he is realizing so much profit from it, but we do know, he is kindly giving employment to those who, would doubtless *t>e without work. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Lawton who have been visiting their children in Atlanta, Ga., returned to Will ington yesterday. Mrs. George Hemminger was re cently making glad some of her friends here, by calling in their homes. This good mother always receives a warm welcome, as we all love her. The many friends of Miss Louise Porter of Union are giving her a warm welcome in her old home town. She expects to be with her friend, Mrs. Wm. McNair until this week end. Messrs. Charlie Cowan of Bellvue and Sam Ed of Georgia received a most cordial welcome this week in the home of relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Bobbie Cowan. Having their violins with them, they favored this family with fine violin music. Messrs. R. M. Rush and Reed Guillebeau made a business trip to Augusta, Georgia Friday after noon. Mrs. Archie Andrews was a re cent visitor to her friend, Mrs. Sam McBride. Mrs. Daisy Hemminger is our latest victim of the severe colds, which have been in a number of our homes. Although very much improved, her condition lacks of being normal. Mr. and Mrs. W. McNair and Misses Louise Porter and M. F. Rush motored to Iva Sunday and enjoyed a most pleasant visit in the home of our former neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. John Schrimp. Mrs. Daisy Hemminger wishes to thank her many friends and loved ones who showed her so many kindnesses, during her re cent sickness of cold. We are glad to report little Martha Jean Covin better. She too, has been a victim of the epid emic of colds. Mr. R. M. Rush carried his fa ther to Greenwood Friday, for his weekly treatment by Dr. Eubanks. We are glad to report Mr. Rush’s condition somewhat improved. Mr. Edward Covin enjoyed Sat urday night and Sunday with his friend, Guilford Cade, Jr. Wright Andrews and Geo. Mc Nair enjoyed rook Monday even ing with their friends, Mr. R. M. Rush and sister. “Mar.” X Old Bermuda-grass pastures that have becqme too thick and sod-bound may be renovated by And “say. old pal, your new hat looks quite stylish on your head.

X Silk scorches very easily if iron ed with too hot an iron. It also gets yellow. Use a warm iron and protect the silk with cheesecloth. Iron the silk on the wrong side. In plowing the furrow, slices should be left on edge as much as possible, so the grass will begin growth along the edge of the fur row and quickly restore the turf. Before seeding the lespedeza, the plowing should be disked and har rowed. Seeding from 12 to 16 pounds of lespedeza seed per acre in early spring will provide graz ing for stock during the summer while the Bermuda grass is being re-established. A Bermuda-grass pasture renovated in this way may be improved still further by seed ing 3 or 4 pounds per acre of white clover, hop clover, or black medic in the fall or early winter follow ing the spring plowing. To be thrifty is to thrive—to get ahead. This may seem like a trite statement but not so when we study its full meaning. To make progress is to advance in all respects and if we are get ting ahead in one way at the ex pense of some other form of ad vancement we are not thrifty. One of the most common mistakes in. this respect is the tendency upon the part of many to thrive finan cially at the expense of one’s phy sical well being. It is no insignificant and com monplace observation to say that good health is any man’s finest possession. It is particularly a valuable asset because its preserva tion requires adherence only to a few simple rules of common sense. Yet, once it has been lost, it is gone forever. The man who is trying to get ahead in the world with the handicap of poor health has all the odds against him in achieving success. The loss of money or of other material pos sessions may in time be recovered but when we lose our good health we lose an asset which we never may be able to recover. Not enough attention is paid to this matter of health thrift. The average person does not lack for guidance and inspiration in the practices of money thrift. We are constantly having impressed upon us the fact that we must get ahead financially. But to get ahead fin ancially at the expense of our health, as is now the case with such a large per centage of Ameri cans, is by no means an example of thrift. In the race for success and wealth too many of us are violat ing every fundamental law of phy sical well being—too many hurried meals, too much smoking, too many long stretches of work with out relaxation, too much burning the candle at both ends, too many details, too many problems that bring worried days and sleepless nights. For those who hope for success, it is just as necessary to keep the body well as it is to keep one’s credit sound. There can never be true thrift where the question of health is not given all the atten tion its importance deserves.
