By-The-Way RUTH DORIS ARMFIELD Asheville, N. C., Jan. 11.—It has been some time since I have had time out from my court reporting to do any news paper reporting or column writ ing, but tonight finds me in Asheville after an interesting excursion this afternoon which I would like to tell you about. I reported to the Battery Park Hotel Roof Garden this morning for an Interstate Com merce hearing, but the hearing only lasted about thirty min utes, leaving the remainder of the day free. One of the mem bers of the North Carolina Util ities Commission asked if I would like to go to Pisgah For est and take a tour through the Ecusta Paper Mill and I im mediately took him up on the offer. I had heard so much about the plant and had been wanting to go through it for some time. If you are not familiar with the Ecusta Paper Company, then the most outstanding thing to say about it is that ninety percent of all cigarette paper in the world is made by Ecusta. I am sorry that I do not know all of the details of the history of the company, but I under stand the entire process was invented by a Mr. Strauss, whose home is located on a bluff overlooking the expansive plant. I am told that one of the successes of this secret pro cess is the water that is used, and that Mr. Strauss and his associates searched the entire United States looking for the right kind of water, and fin ally decided on the Pisgah For est area. The paper is made ^entirely from flax which is grown in Minnesota and Cali fornia and shipped to Pisgah. The guide who took us through the plant related that some six ty thousand tons of this flax is used yearly in making cig arette papers, bible paper, the tissue paper used by beauti cians in giving permanents, and other fine papers. We saw the plant from be ginning to end during the two hour tour, starting with lunch at the cateteria. There is a joke among the workers there that the plant itself is cleaner than the cafeteria. I wouldn’t go that far, but I will say that everything was spotless and I believe about half of the work ers must spend their time keep ing it that way. At one stage of processing the flax, there is a sign, “If this isn’t clean enough to put in your mouth, don’t put it in this box.” And that rule follows throughout. After lunch, we began our tour in the department where little booklets of cigarette pa pers, given with bags of tobac co, are made. It is almost im possible to describe this opera tion, except to say that for each cigarette size sheet that will go into that package, that many rolls of paper are put on a spindle. These tapes come to gether at the end of the ma chine, are glued together on the edge, made into a long con tinuous booklet, the covers put on and the flap folded under, then the booklets cut apart, all in one mechanical operation. It is amazing to watch. It seems that some cigarette papers are glued and some are not, so we watched, for awhile, the machine which puts glue just on the edge of the paper. Our tour continued to the “endless belt” factory. Ecusta has developed and has an ex clusive patent on this endless belt, which is used by all of the leading cigarette manufac turers in rolling cigarettes. This is a weaving process of some kind, which I wouldn’t attempt to describe. The fact that this belt has no seam makes it so superior, since belts of this kind, if seamed, tear apart too easily. We went on to the filter plant, where I found that the water, which looked perfectly sanitary to me, is filtered ele ven times before it is used in the manufacturing process. The next stop was the boiler room— I had to see everything while I was there—to see the tremen dous boilers which stood at least three stories high. I, of course, had to know how much coal they consumed and was told about a carload a day. The coal comes in daily and there is a big stockpile in case of de lay. The smoke stack is 210 feet high, 2 feet in diameter at the base and 16 feet in diame ter at the top, and I thought about how many houses those thousands of brick would build. From the power plant we went through one of the 36 warehouses each of which con tains 14,000 tons of flax. We watched the bundles of flax, which looked like any ordinary bundle of hay, run down the conveyor belt from warehouse .and up into a building where it goes into the first of the many processes—a piece of machinery called a “digestor.” There it is washed and “cooked” and mix ed with chemicals for some six hours after which it comes out looking something like left over oatmeal only much dark er and lumpier. It then goes through a beater where it is (Continued on page 8) Became Prominent In The Lone Star State P. P. LANGFORD DIES IN TEXAS Was 88 Years of Ag e And A Native of Newberry (From The Wichita Falls (Tex.) Record-News, January 14.) P. P. Langford, 88, a retired banker who had long been in timately connected with the business life of this community and section, died in Wichita Falls hospital at 5:15 p. m. Fri day. Death came afcer a number of years of declining health which brought the pioneer to helplessness. For more than three - score years of his healthfulness dur ing his residence in Wichita Falls, Langford had been prom inent in the business and fin ancial life of the city. In his long years of associa tion with the City National bank, first as collector, then as bookkeeper, cashier and president, he had been known to more people perhaps than any other citizen. His personality and character istics had become almost legen dary with the older citizens of the community. He had made the loans which set many a firm and individual in business and some of the leading busi nesses in Wichita Falls today can trace their beginnings back to the loans made thr jugh him. He also made many smaller loans upon his estimate of the character of the borrower rath er than upon other assets. After many years of associa tion with the City National, Langford retired as its presi dent in 1927 to devote his de clining years to his ranching, cattle and other business inter ests. He leaves two sons, Pierce Langford, Jr. and Ben. H. Langford of Wichita Falls and a daughter, Mrs. George Harri- gan of Pittsburg, Penna. Other survivors include six grandchildren; a nephew, Capt. W. S. Langford brother of the late J. J. Langford and a niece, Mrs. W. A. Asbill, ot Electra, Texas. Pierce P. Langford was born October 24, 1861 in Newberry, S. C., the son of a plantation owner who died of typhoid fev er contracted while he was in the service of the Confederate army. The family’s crops were de stroyed by Sherman’s march to the sea and the widowed moth er of Langford immediately as sumed the double role as head of her family. Pierce was given training in the public schools and spent one year at the Lutheran college at Newberry. From there he and his bro ther, Willie, of whom he was especially fond, went to New York to study bookkeeping for a year. In 1884 thej .'set out for Texas to make their for tunes. A Baptist minister in Fort Worth who knew their mother suggested the youths proceed to the new town of Wichita Falls to which the Fort Worth and Denver railroad har benn built only two years be fore. John B. McDowell 75, Died Tuesday John Bussey McDowell, 75, died Tuesday afternoon at the Newberry County Hospital after a lingering illness. He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William B. Mc Dowell of Edgefield County. For many years he owned and operated a dairy. He was a member of ,the First Baptist Church of Newberry. He mar ried the former Miss Ella Nora Goleman, who died five years ago. He is survived by a son, Grover McDowell of Miami, Fla.; three daughters, Mrs. For est Mill and Mrs. P. B. Daw kins of Newberry and Mrs. E. A. Lane of Columbia; a bro ther, L. C. McDowell of Green wood; three sisters, Mrs. Fan nie Cheatem Callisom, Mrs. Ina Christie and Mrs. Mary Dorn of Edgefield and one grandson. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 o’clock .at the residence on Evans street with Rev. J. Au brey Estes officiating. Inter ment followed in Rosemont cemetery.

Cemetery Clean-Up Set For January 25 An old fashioned clean-up day is scheduled to he held at Rosemont Cemetery next Wed nesday, January 25, at which time all lot owners are asked to be there to do their part in order to put the cemetery in the condition it should be in. The Clean-up committee com posed of R. B. Baker, chairman, with A. H. Clarke and M. K. Wicker will be on hand to as sist you, and they have also obtained the cooperation of the city, which will furnish trucks, helpers, etc. The principal aim is to clean up all lots that have been ne glected, and grown up in weeds. Owners of lots under perpetu al and annual care are also ask ed to help in this undertaking, as well as other lot owners. Owners are asked to be at the cemetery at 8 o’clock a.m. next Wednesday morning to get started, and if you can’t be there yourself, §end someone in your place. Secretary and Treasurer of Rosemont Cemetery Association, Louis C. Floyd, reports that there are 32 lots at Rosemont under perpetual care; that the resources of the Association as of December 31, 1949, are; Per petual Care Fund $7105.00 Cash in bank, $2828.73, which makes a total of $9933.73. Officers elected at the re cent meeting were: President, Mrs. R. H. Wright, Vice-Pres ident, R. B. Baker, Soc.-Treas., Louis- C. Floyd. Board of Directors: Mrs. But ler Holmes, Mrs. R. D. Smith, By Ruth Doris Armfield As fine an example of Christ ianity as I have ever seen came to light the other day when I was told of a group of boys who had organized a club they call “The Bible club”. This is not the sort of club the lads attend because their moth ers make them go. It is a club they organized themselves and everyone of the eight members has found that there is a gen uine delight in every-day Christ ianity—the kind of Christianity which is really of benefit to someone—perhaps just to one person, or a few people, but still it brings a wealth of hap piness to those boys. Keith Tarrer and Frank Britt were anxious to tell about how the club started and how it operates. It seems that one day these two and six of their friends, Mike Darby, Joe Chap pell, Randolph Wilson, Billy Mason and Jimmie Crooks were discussing starting a club of some sort. It was Keith’s sug gestion and Frank wanted to know what kind of club they should start. Keith thought that a Bible club would be the nicest thing and all agreed. Now they meet each Monday, Wednesday and Friday after noon in the garage at the home of Keith’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Tarrer. They make up their own programs—sing, read the Bible, learn Bible verses, take up a collection and then have a period of recreation. Oo you wonder what they do with the pennies and nickels and dimes they collect? They don’t spend it on candy or cokes, but they do have a pro ject they use the money for. They had heard about an old colored woman, Lillie Mangum, who lives alone near the water and light plant. She has been paralyzed and bed-ridden for 15 years. The boys visit her once a week and have a pro gram with her. They take her food with the money they col lect and when her house needs cleaning each of those lads pitches in and does his part to see that the house is shiny clean before they leave it. Their little contributions don’t go far but one of the boys said as soon as they had the money they were going to subscribe to a newspaper for Lillie be- she liked to read*. I asked if the Bible club ever went to other homes to give programs and the boys said: “No, ma’am, but we will be glad to go to any Christian home that would like to have us.” The boys in the Bible club range in age from 10 to 13. Keith Tarrer expressed regret that he would have to leave soon, since his parents are moving to Rock Hill, but he is already making plans to or ganize a club in Rock Hill. *If the boys will come by The Sun office and leave Lil lie’s address the Sun will be sent to her free and they can save that money for food for someone else.

Fires Caused By Careless Smokers Woodland owners in the New berry District lost valuable tim ber on 923.8 acres of woodland as 125 wild wood fires raged through their woods during the last of 1949, according to Harry Avedisian, Assistant Forester, and Melton Wall, District Rang er of the State Commission of Forestry in Newberry. Fires occurred in each of the six month. The prolonged dry spell in November and Decem- be caused the heavy burn in these months when 61 to 46 fires burned in November and December respectively. The outstanding cause for these fires was careless smok ers, having caused 48 fires. Other causes were railroads, 18 fires; miscellaneous reasons, 15 fires; and debris burning, 12 fires. A total of 76 fires burned 432 acres over the same period in 1948. This increase is primari ly due to the dry fall winter months in 1949. The foresters bf the Newberry office urge the people to be cautious with matches and cig arettes in the woods. Brush burning and field burning should be delayed until after a good rain.
