Tree Farms, Inc.
John C. Billingsley, president of
Carolina Tree Farms, Inc., New
berry, has announced that the
firm paid another five per cent
cash dividend to all stockholders
of record as of August 1, 1963.
This makes the fourth consecu
tive year that the company has
paid a cash dividend. It was or
ganized in December 1955 and
this makes a total of 45 per ct.
in dividends paid to the original
stockholders.
Carolina Tree Farms, Inc is in
the business of buying timber-
lands and managing the proper
ties following the best known in
tensive forest management prac
tices. By selectively cutting the
lands, the average annual growth
of forest products has been great
ly increased and for this reason
the company has been able to pay
these dividends. Recently the as
sets of the corporation have been
cruised and appraised by an in
dependent forester not connected
with the company. He appraised
the timberland asets of the com
pany at over $350,000 which would
indicate that the $25 par stock
is now worth $50 par share. This
shows that investing in timber
growing lands in and around New
berry county is a very profitable
business and the old saying that
money grows on trees has become
a proven fact by this company’s
operation, said Billingsly.
Other officers and directors of
the corporation are: H. M. Hentz,
Vice-president; R. Aubrey Har

No exact figures can be given
as to the number of Cubans killed
by the Castro regime. By the end
of 1961, more than 2000 had lost
their lives before firing squads.
Since then, many more have been
murdered. Not one was submitted
to a fair trial, and the only hear
ing they had was a farce designed
to give those crimes a semblance
of justice to avoid the inevitable
repulse of civilized nations of the
world.
As a people, we have an awful
responsibility for this prevalance
of torture and terror in Cuba. The
very continuity of our own sys
tem of law, order and liberty is
tnreatened by it, as President
Kennedy’s assassination has so
tragically demonstrated.
In 1962, at Geneva, the Interna
tional Commission of Jurists—
lawyers representing some 27
countries—published a report on
the present condition of the Rule
of Law in Cuba. A year later, a
report published by the Inter-
American Commission of Human
Rights of the OAS, was entitled
“Report on the Situation of Poli-
ficers and directors are from
Newberry with the exception of
Clark Hutchinson who lives in
Columbia and Luke N. Brown Jr.,
Ridgeland.

tical Prisoners and their Relatives
in Cuba.”
Unfortunately, relatively few
people will see these reports, and
an even smaller number will read
them. Consequently, they will do
little to dispel the ignorance and
indifference that now prevails
concerning the horrible carnival of
blood and terror being staged un
der our official protection just 90
miles from sunny Florida.
In the Jurists report, these
conclusions were established con
cerning the “Revolutionary
Courts”: Most of their members
are not lawyers and many are il
literate; defense counsel have
themselves been persecuted, im
prisoned and even shot for de
fending political prisoners; in
many cases defense witnesses have
been taken from the stand to
prison; the verdict, owing to the
ignoranco of the members of the
court, has often been drawn up
beforehand by government legal
officials.
Today there are some 75,000
political prisoners in Cuba. Many
are in jails, prisons or concentra
tion camps, sentenced for indefi
nite periods, without trial. There
are countless cases of physical
mis-treatment, psychological tor
ture and unsanitary prisons in
cluded in these reports. Often this
mis-treatment extends to families
of prisoners who come to visit the
prisoner, frequently resulting in
injury and death.
These violations of human
rights are utterly repulsive to the
juridical conscience of the Ameri-

FARM RECORDS IMPORTANT
Too few farmers keep adequate
farm records; 1964 should be a
year of change in this respect. Not
only should records be kept, but
they should be analyzed at the end
of each year if they are to serve
the intended purpose—to improve
the farm business.
So far, many farmers keep
records only to back-up their in
come tax returns. This is good,
but not enough.
We can think of better benefits
that farmers receive from keep
ing adequate records. In 1963 rec
ords helped some Newberry county
farmers collect damages for loss
of egg and milk production re
sulting from Swift Strike III
army maneuvers. Well kept rec
ords can often convince your
hanker that he should lend you
money. Milk and egg production
have increased on a number of
farms as a direct result of ap
plied management obtained from
keeping records.
Begin the new year right! Let
us furnish you with a farm ac
count book and at the same tim&
inform you of the various record
keeping programs available.
CONTROL CATTLE LICE
Lice on cattle may be present at
any time of the year, but are most,
abundant during the winter when
the coat is thick and long and tHe
skin is relatively dry of oil. The
irritation from these parasites
causes the animals to rub and
scratch persistently, resulting ig
patches of skin becoming sore
and bare of hair.
can people. The Board of Gover
nors of the American Bar Associa
tion recently adopted a resolution
urging the UN, the OAS, the In
ternational Red Cross, and other
organizations to take appropriate
steps toward the correction of
such abuses.
The Inter-American Conferences
have frequently recognized the in
alienable rights of the American
States to choose freely their own
form of government and economic
system. Cubans are suffering pol
itical prison. The fact that nearly
a half-million have fled the Island
and that many more are willing
to gamble with their lives in a
daily flight against the Commun
ist regime, is the best proof that
the Cuban people are determined
to live under freedom and are wil
ling to take any risk so that lib
erty will shine again in their land.
The next time you hear some
orator discourse on the possibility
of world' peace through world
court action, remember to ask
about Cuba, or Communism, or
the fact that a billion people are
now living under lawless unmoral
terror. We will have world peace
through world law only when
Communism has been destroyed.
