FUEL SITUATION IS SERIOUS
To Keep Warm This Winter No Lump
of Coal or Piece Of Wood
Must Be Wasted.

Columbia Secretary Redneld has
written the following letter:
ITO the Employees of the Department
Of Commerce:
"A friendly talk about coal. This
does not apply to hose who have no
heating apparatus under their control.
but it may apply TO all who have such
appliances.
May not each OF us be his own fuel
administrator? None of us want to
be cold next winter. but what are we
ourselves doing nrcvent it?
suppose we ourselves few
simple questions. Do we SO under
stand the furnace In our houses that
we know 1t IS giving the most heat
for the least fuel? Have we made a
study Of the art Cfor it is an art OF
firing a furnace? Is the furnace kept
clean from beginning to end OF the
season? We know, do we not. that
Dust collected IN Il furnace reduces it's
heating power and uses more coal to
40 its work? If the heating appara-
tus is steam or hot water. are the
pipes covered near the furnace. where
the steam or water is the hottest?
sometimes for lack Of care to these
points the cellar is heated first and
foremost and the house last and least.
Do we let the house get hot and then
open windows to cool it? That wastes
coal which would be saved by closing
some Of the radiators. A study OF
your heating system will reward you
in comfort and money.
Wood can be used to tide over an
emergency. Are you saving the wood
that may come into your house in one
or another way, and are you taking
steps to obtain wood? This, you
know, is the time when a dead tree
may be a public foe or public
friend. 1t is the latter If 1t is made
available for fuel, but he who wastes
wood or allows wood that is only good
for fuel to be wasted is helping the
enemy now.
After all the fuel problem Is large.
ly up to you and me. 1t is trust
imposed upon us to use It wisely and
to use every kind Of it that we can
make available.
Shall we not try together as pa
triotic service to see how far we can
make it go and how little demand we
can make upon the countrys stock? :?
In 80 doing, we would uphold the
hands Of the President and help the
army and save money for ourselves" :"

An Interesting Question.

Special from Washington.-An in.
teresting question has arisen here in
connection with the recent appoint
ment Of Senator Benet Of South Caro-
lima, as to the exact time he will
serve In the upper house OF Congress
In the event that he Is not elected
for the short term which ends on
March a. 1919
There seems to be mistaken i'm
preston that the appointment of Sen
ator Benet by Governor Manning was
In the nature Of mandatory ap-
pointment for not less than six
months, whereas the law prescribes
that it should not be for more than
six months.
If Senator Benet Is not elected for
this short term. according to the best
legal opinions in Congress he will i'm
mediately rclinqutsh his seat upon the
presentation Of tho proper crcdcn-
tials Of whoever may be elected.
For instance, should Mr.. Pollock be
elected and should he present his Gre
dentials Immediately thereafter, pro
vided Congress is then in session, or
when the next session begins in De-
cember. he would. according to the au-
thorities here, automatically dispiace
Senator Benct, who according to law
is appointed until his successor is
elected and qualities"
1t would not be reasonable to sup
pose that a man who is elected for the
short term would sit quietly down and
wait for the six months appointment
OF Senator Benet to expire On :he
contrary. probably he will come to
Washington Immediately present his
credentials to the senate and that
body being the highest judge OF it's
own membership, will determine
whether this short term member shall
be seated or whether Senator Bcnet
shall serve out the six months term
for which he was named.

Up-to.dDate In Forestry.

Few people realize that South Care
lima is up to date In forestry in one re
spect at least, as the owner Of thou
sand acre forest. This is more than
cen be claimed by many other states
1t all came about through the fore.
sight Of Joann de la Howe, who be.
queathed LOO acres to the state, spec
flying in his will that 1000 acres
should forever remain in forest This
French nobleman with a broad vision
died in 1897, when the idea Of an en-.
dowed school for teaching agriculture,
including forestry, was far beyond
average human vision.
The forest is located along Little
River, in Mccormick county, and is
composed mostly Of short leaf or vel
low pine with scattered hardwoods.
In the low places some loblolly pine
occurs. Many Of the pines are 1875
feet in height and measure 80 to 35
inches In diameter at breast height.
One measured acre contains 10000
board feet Of pine.
Fire has been excluded for many
years and consequently there are
large numbers Of young pine, as we'll
as various shrubs and young broad
leafed trees The absence Of fire has
resulted also in deep leaf mulch
over the soil, conserving all the mois-
ture.
