December 25, 1854, at Chiles Crossroads about 15 miles below Greeuwood, Chiles now re sides with his fourth wife on the Jack Elglfi place in Anderson County. He can cook, knit, patch, wash and do any kind of sewing and is liked by both White and Negro friends throughout this section— not only for his wit hut also his philosophy on life. Here’s what he told this corres pondent, in his own words, the other sunny morning when I stop ped by his place: “My first name stands for Beau regard, Gustave and my last name for the white Gen’l man, John H. Chiles and his wife Josephene, who raised me. I’s a hunnert and one years old, and I never stole nothing to amount to nothing in my life. Never been in jail. I got a recommendation to as far as you can holler Beauregard Chiles. “I been married four times. Had two children by my first wife, 15 by my second, none by my third and fourth. I still love the dear woman as hard as I usta but just simply can’t handle ’em like I usta. “I got four boys in Detroit, Michigan, and a daughter in Char lotte, North Carolina, but I ain’t hyeard from them in years. “After I had dll my teeth pull ed out, I’m deef as a post. I ’spect if I had my years washed out I might dould hear. That’s why I carry this whittle round my neck to 'tract ’tention. When I whistles I means for them to stop —and they does too. “I took my first drink of whis key on a setup by some boys when I whs 18 years old. It happen at Helena, about a mile this side of Newberry, on the Southern Rail road. When I got hack I was drunk as a cat. Since then I been drinking. I likes likker. I don’t cuss and when I’m drunk I’m dead as that stick laying there. My legs just won’t work. But I trust’s in de Lord and listens to my wife read de Bible as much of it as I can hears “De world has been good to me. I’s thankful and believe the Master has blessed me and let me live this long ’cause I never harm ed nobody, worked hard, be’s hon est to my fellowtanan, and tended to my own business.” BOOKMOBILE SCHEDULE Thursday, May 12 Oakland Mill, Mrs. J.

Paris Promoted At Calhoun Life Prevent Wood Fires Is Forestry Aim If people in South Carolina left half a billion dollars in cash un guarded, they might be judged as careless, if nothing worse. The standing timber in our state’s for ests are estimated to be worth at least that sum. - Yet every year forest fires—many of them delib erately ' set- -attack the green gold in the woods and burn up dollars. No matter who happens to own the land—a big corporation or a poor citizen with a few acres of weed lot—-the loss of trees by fire is a community lose. For timber is a natural resource, one of the greatest in South Carolina. Our State is not rich in coal, oil, iron or many other things that come from the ground. It is, however, one of the finest tree-growing regions in the United States. Forest products are the second largest industry in the State. The industry could be doubled, a for estry spokesman tells us, if wild fires were prevented. Sunday’s News and Courier car ried an article by Jack Leland tell ing some of these facts. We in tend to tell the story over and over, in as many forms as we can think of, until it is thoroughly understood by everyone. Some of those who set fires—whether ma liciously or through stupidity— do not read the newspapers. They will have to be reached in other ways. Until every citizen realizes the wtoods are a natural resource that helps all of the people, not just the owners and processors of timber, our task will not be done. Destruction of property is a crime. Timber is property. PubWc opinion can and must be mobiliz ed to save the forests of South Carolina from fire. Forests should be used, not abused. A. P. Paris has been promoted to vice president in charge of the Combination division of the Cal houn Life Insurance company, ac cording to an announcement made by Robert H. Lovvorn, (president The following announcement concerning Mr. Faris’ promotion was contained in the Calhoun Field News: “We are sure that all of you are famfliar with Mr. Paris' back ground but jusi in case some of the newer personnel do not real ize the record that he has attain ed, we would like to repeat the following, Mr. Paris, a native of York county.

Don’t forget her on Her Day ■ Give her a dress from the ' Draft Dodging Legal By Joining Guard Young men 17-18 1-2 years old, have the exceptional opportunity of enlisting in the South Carolina National Guard for training at home under a special draft de ferment according to Major Gen eral Jaa. C\ Dozier, State Adjutant eneral. These young men are needed now by the National Guard to fill units to full strength. A special provision of the Uni versal Military ’Training and Ser vice Act authorizes deferment of young men who enlist in the Nat ional Guard before becoming 12 1-2 years old in states where the Governor proclaims that they are needed to maintain the strength of the Guard. In South Carolina, both exGovernor Byrnes and hip successor. Governor Timmerman, have issued such a proclamation. Eligible young jmen should visit the nearest army or Air National Guard unit immediately to inquire about this opportunity, according to the Adjutant General, because new reserve laws now being con sidered in Congress will probably eliminate this privUege. Young Guardsmen serve their military obligations by attending 48 training periods and 15 days summer field training per year. Under the present day National Guard program, they are assigned to specific jobs in organized units and taught to handle and main tain modem equipment that is vital to the nation’s defense. ^ According to Guard authorities, approximately 3000 young South Carolinians^are already taking ad vantage of this unusual opportun ity to learn a military trade while they are continuing their civUian educations and living at home.
