The South Carolina State Forest Service^ in co-operation with the Extension Service of Clemson Col lege, will hold a farm forestry meeting in McCormick County on January 20th, at 2 p. m. Demon stration areas in Thinning, Plant ing, Fire Break Construction and Improvement Cutting will be vis ited and explained. For the Demonstration of Thin ning, a plot of sufficient size will be selected and all underbrush will be removed. All growth under two inches in diameter and all irregular growth will be cut. The plot will be put in such condition that a scientific estimate of growth may be made. In the planting demonstration an abandoned field area will be planted to tree seedlings. The pos sibilities of the area seedling na turally will be explained and the methods of artificial planting will be shown. A lecture will be given on the Reasons for planting; the need for timber production, the prevention of erosions, water con- ssrvation, the use of abandoned fields, using fields partially needed, the changing of species, wind breaks and the like. The differ ence of species will be told and the advantages of each. The actual methods of planting will be shown and regular planting crew put to work. The demonstration of fire breaks will consist of plowing single fur rows 100 feet apart, and the weeds and rubbish between burned. If poosibfe the fire break will be run entirely around the plot. The woodland improvement dem onstration will require two plots of about one-fourth acre each. All weed trees, wolf trees, defective trees and trees standing too close together will be removed, and the reasons .for removal will be explain ed. In the second plot nothing will be done, but the difference in condition between it and the im proved plot will be. noted, and the difference in growth will be esti mated and explained. In this dem onstration the need for cutting on ly inferior trees for inferior pur poses will be told and the need of preserving the high grade trees for high grade purposes. According to County Agent E. L. Rogers and District Forester H. Y. Forsythe, this forestry meeting will be held on the farm of Mr. W. L. White, McCormick R. F. D. These forestry demonstrations are being given to answer specific questions which have arisen in the minds of individuals in regard to Forestry practice. Since 60 per cent of the State’s area and approximately 40 per cent of the average farm in South Carolina is in forest land, four fundamental principles of management are necessary in order to provide the highest financial return for the owner. These prin ciples are the principles of refores tation where adquate seed trees are not found, forest protection, and forest thinning and improvement. x Card Of Thanks We would like through these columns to express our heartfelt thanks and high appreciation to the many friends and loved ones who shared our sorrow, the death of our beloved wife, daughter and sister, Mrs. Feaster Mauldin, and for their love and kindness to her, also for the silent tributes of love— the beautiful flowers. The Families. Motorists Urged To Buy Flates Now COLUMBIA, Jan. 6.—In view oi the fact that the South Carolina highway department has no au thority to extend time on the pur chase of 1933 license plates, W. V. Sutherland, director of the motor vehicle division, is again appealing to the motorists of the state to se cure their new plates on or before January 15 in order to avoid the liability of arrest and fine. “The state law says that the plates should be displayed on Janu ary i,” Mr. Sutherland said, “but we instructed the highway patrol men not to inake any cases until January 15 in order that we might make a thorough check on the li censes sold prior to-January 1, but we have no authority to extend the time for displaying plates and therefore urge the purchasing of the new piates at once.” Thousands of motorists are op erating their vehicles on the high ways of the state with 1932 tags, and it is of paramount importance to them to equip themselves with this year’s plates as soon as possible to avoid the last-minute rush. The fifty-cents penalty is in effect. In urging those who have not bought plates to do so immediately, Mr. Sutherland pointed out that more than $1,150,000.00 was col lected by the department for li cense plates through January 3, and said, “that is very gratifying to us considering the financial condi tion.” Mr. Sutherland said he al so wanted to thank those motorists who purchased their plates before the first of the year and avoided a rush. “They aided us greatly in a big job,”.he said, “and again we appeal to other motorists to help us in the remaining few days that are left before the final time limit on January 15, because it means a great deal to them as well as to Death Of Mrs. Fannie Patterson US. -X- Rehoboth News In the absence of Pastor Gurley, who continues ill at his home, Mr. W. E. Lott from Edgefield gave us a splendid address, preceeding it with a beaut’iful prayer. Mr. Lott is well known in this section and his Christian life is highly esteem ed. He spoke of his high esteem of Pastor Gurley, and said it was a pleasure to be there. The sub ject of his address was Work, and he made some fine points. We were very glad to have Mr. Lott with us. The H. D. Club will meet in the home of Mrs. W. P. Culbreath next club day, January 17. Mr. Gillam is not feeling so well. If he is not able for the club to meet there, some one near will take it and it will be announced through the community. The next W. M. S. meeting will meet with Mrs. E. M. Morgan. Mrs. Agnes Culbreath, glad to say, was able to be calling last week. Mrs. Crosby, who has been stay ing with Mrs. Doolittle, is at home on a visit. Mr& J. P. Talbert and James and Dora spent one day last week in McCormick. • The roads in this section have been almost impassible for several weeks. Somewhat better with a few days sunshine, but Sunday night’s rain made them worse. The postman and the school bus are about the most that travel our roads. We are hoping to get some work on our roads soon. * ■ Mrs. T. B. Gilchrist is improving and able to sit up 4 to 5 hours a day now. Hope she will soon be well again. Cards from Pastor Gurley in this section say he is somewhat better Mrs. Gurley has had influenza but is somewhat better now ,glad to re port. The registrar of this district of births and deaths reports for the year 1932, 8 deaths, 37 births. Our contribution to the orphan age was not as much as we have given nor as much as we wanted to give, valued at $7.50. « Our little blind friend, Miss Car rie Belle Freeland, enjoyed Christ mas and her radio, if the weather was cold and snowy. MT. CARMEL, Jan. 11.—Mt. Car mel is paying a heavy toll to that dread disease, influenza, for already two splendid Christian women have passed to their reward since Christ mas. A cloud of sorrow has grad ually been settling over Mt. Carmel, for all could see that unless a Div ine miracle happened, Mrs. Fannie Patterson would soon leave us to dwell with the angels. Each visit to her bedside would find the frail body a little weaker, but faith in her God stronger. On Tuesday af ternoon, January 10, about mid af ternoon, a host of angels bore her gentle spirit to that beautiful land above. Every eye was dimmed with tears and every heart aching when it became known she was dead. Mrs. Patterson has meant so much to Mt. Carmel, and her sweet, gentle influence will always live. Since coming here as the bride 6f Rev. A. L. Patterson about twenty four years ago, she has lived such a fine loyal Christ ian life that you always felt you had been “with Jesus” when you were long with her. She has meant so much to the A. R. P. Chjirch and all its organizations, always a faithful member and at tendant of Church, Sabbath school and missionary society. She will indeed be sadly missed and her earnest and heartfelt prayers for this community will be missed so much. She was in her 82nd year. Mrs. Patterson is survived by one step son, Rev. W. S. Patterson of Lancaster, three "step daughters. Miss Florence Patterson of York and Miss Susie Patterson of Mt. Carmel and Miss Nell Patterson of Mecklenburg County Hospital, N. C. A sad little coincidence is, Miss Susie Patterson is now critically ill with influenza. There was a spirit of devotion between the two which is very rarely seen in life. Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Pressly and two children from Statesville, N. C., were among those from a distance attending the funeral. We loved her, yes, we loved her, But our Saviour loved her more. And He has sweetly called her, To yonder shining shore. The golden gates were opened, A gentle voice said come, And with a smile to loved ones She calmly entered home. The funeral service was conduct ed on Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock in the A. R. P. Church by her beloved pastor, Rev. Leon T. Pressly, assisted by Rev. W. L. Pressly of Greenwood, Rev. W. C. Kerr of Abbeville, Rev. J. H. Buz- hardt of Troy, Rev. A. L. Doty of Calhoun Falls and Rev. T. B. Stuart of Greenwood. Each minister bore testimony of her walk with God and her im plicit faith and trust in Him, and eachT one dwelled on the wonderful influence for good exerted by such a life. The interment was in the Mt. Carmel Cemetery where beneath a mound of beautiful flowers she was laid to rest. J. S.
