GREATEST LUMBER CUT
Tho Past Year Was a Record Breaker
in This Country,


More lumber was cut in the limited
States last year than in any other
year in it's history. The enormous
amount of 37,55o,736 board feet was
produced. and the mill value of this
was $621.151,3sss. In addition. there
were produced 1l,S5S,26O, 900 shingles,
valued at s24,155,555. and 3,s13,S07, 900
lath, valued at $11,49O,57O. On the
whole. it is safe to say that the present
annual lumber cut Of the United States
approximates 40 billion feet, and that
the total mill value of the lumber, lath
and shingles each year produced is
not less than $7OO,OOO.0oO. These fig
ures give some idea of how vast is
the lumber industry and how great is
the demand for it's products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing
Of white pine and oak, one the grca test
softwood and the other the greatest
hardwood which tho forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut OF white
pine has fallen off more than 40 pcr
cent, while that OF white oak has fall
EN- off more than 36 per cent Today
yellow pine leads all other woods I'm
amount cut, while Douglas fir-and this
will be a surprise to many-comes sec
ond. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas
fir has increased 1856 per cent Louis
lana is the foremost yellow pinc
state. with Texas, Mississippi and Ar
kansas following in order Washing
ton produces by fur the greatest
amount Of Douglas fir.
A comparison OF tho lumber -prolu-
cling states shows that since 1899 there
have been many changes in their rel
alve rank. Washington which in 1899
stood sixth, now leads, while Wiscon-
sin which eight years ago led all 9TH
crs, is now third. In the same period
Oregon. Louisiana, mississippi, Idaho,
and California made great strides as
lumber producing states though, on
the other hand, the amount produced
in Michigan, Wisconsin,, Minnesota,
Georgia. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
souri,. Indiana and Ohio fell off any
where from 20 to 81 per cent.
The higllest-priccd native woods arc
walnut. hickory and ash, and the
cheapest are larch and white flr. From,
the fact, however, that since 1899 the
average increase in the price of lun-
Der has bccn 40 per cent, It will not
be long before cheap woods arc few
and far between.

United States in 1906 arc contained IN

NEGRESS KILLED.
She Was Crawling Across Railroad
Track Under Car.

About half-past two O'Clock Fri
day afternoon Selma Green, a COL
ored woman, who is employed at
Claf1in University as servant, was
instantly killed at the Southern Rail-
ray freight station, just opposite the
University. 1t was a sad accident and
made a deep impression on the COL
ored people of Orangeburg.
The facts, as developed at the in
quest, were about as follows: The
woman and a companion were cross
ing the tract while a freight engine
was doing some shifting. The COM
panion walked around the three box
cars which were standing by them
selves, but the Green woman took a
shorter route and began to crawl un-
der one car to the other side.
Just as she got about half way
across he engine and five more
cars struck those, under one of which
the woman was. The car moved
only about four feet, but that was
sufficient for the wheel to reach her
body and pinion it to the track.
The body was fearfully mangled anc
t was necessary to pull the car on
in order to remove the remains.
1t seems that the accluent was
caused solely through the careless
ness of the woman who was killed,
as she could have walked around
like her companion.
Coroner Rickenbaker was immedl-
ately notified and in less than two
hours the inquest had been hid.
The verdict was in accordance with
the facts as above related.

BASE BALL OUTLOOK.
ONLY CONDITIONS ON WHICH WE
CAN HAVE IT.
The Old Directors Have Done Their
Full Share and We Must Rally to
Ineir Support.

Ii Orangeburg wants baseball this
season the business men must go
down in their pockets and put up the
necessary cash to make the league a
success. We had fine ball last year,
but it was at loss of some twelve
hundred dollars, which was borne by
the board OF directors. This is not
right If baseball is benefit to
the town all the business men share
in the benefit and every one should
be willing to help along the cause
by making as liberal contribution
as he can. We should not allow a
few public spirited men to shoulder
any deficit as was done last year.
The old board of directors have
done all they could to arouse an in
terest on the part of the business men
in the league this year, but their eff
forts have met with failure, and they
\have about given up the matter. 1t
is stated that much astonishment
was expressed when it became known
that the old board of directors would
not hold the bag again this season
and make good the deficit as they
did last We do not see why there
should be any astonishment about
the matter at all. The old board SIM
ply said they could not afford to
carry the load as they did last year.
They are perfectly willing to do
their full share, and more than their
share, but the gentlemen who COM
pose the old board do not feel war
ranted in proceeding in the matter
Of putting out a team unless the busi-
ness men of the city are willing to
help keep it in the field the whole
season. Who can blame them for
this? The board is not composed of
our richest business men, but if every
one of the business men in the city
would contribute one-fourth as much
as each of the directors contribute
there would be an abundance of
money to run the team
It takes money to run a baseball
team, and if Orangeburg is to main
tain one, it must be done in a bust
ness like manner. If We want to en-
Joy the luxury of baseball. let us
figure up the probable cost and see
if we are willing to put up the mon
ey. If we are not. we should get
out of the way and let some more
enterprising town have our place.
That is all there is to it. The team
must be maintained by the whole
town and not by few public-spirlt-
ed citizens, as has been the case il
the past. We do not blame the old
board of directors for becoming dis
heartened. They have received no
support but talk. and that does. not
pay off base ball players and UNI
pires and railway fares.
