OLD TIME PRINTER DEAD.

Mr.. Charlie Tilden, an old time
printer who had spent most Of his lat
ter years in Anderson, recently died
out West, where he had gone in
search of health. Charlie knew many
of the famous tourist" printers of
his day and at one time worked with
Opic Read, the author, when Read
was printer. In the SOS Charlie
worked in Pickens and he used to
tell how he kept two water buckets
on the table in the shop, one filed
with water and the other filed with
wniskey and his friends were vel
come to help themselves to which
ever bevcrag" they preferred. SO
far as we know whskey was Char

was a good man and good printer.

his fault and that all is we'll with

Charting Lightning Zones.

r OLLOWING explosion of the time -honorcd say
ing that lightning strikes twice in the same
place" by forest experts of the Department of
Agriculture work has been started mapping of
so-caed "lghtnng zones" which have been proved
fertile of destructive fires originated by bolts
from clouds.
Lightning very often strikes in nearly the same
places forester publication declared last week 1T
has its zones, where its appearance may usually be
counted with each electrical storm.
With the accumulation of data and To-
cations of fires in the national forests these lightning
could be mapped and protective measures in
troduced-such as fire lines regulated grazing and
cleaning out Of dead trees-which would more or less
automatically control lightning fires at the start the
foresters believe. II these lightning zones were so
mapped they would doubtless show a markedly close
relation to certain types of topography and sometimes
more or less localized sections of many forests"

u. S. Leading Pelt Buyer.

NGLAND, as a purchaser OF undressed furs from
r Canada, has been far outstripped by the United
~ States, comparisons made at the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey, Department of Agriculture, show.
From 1914 to 1920 the exports of undressed furs
from Canada the United States increased from $7
100000 to $I6,sooooo, while those to England rose
from 100000 $3,ooo,ooo. The export figures for
1919 were to England $37oo,ooo and to the United
States. $o6ooyooo.
The change, it is said, is due chiefly to the efforts
made by the fur traders in this country to make the
United States the leading fur market in the world and
also to the inability of English buyers to compete
with them. In 1920 Canada's exports of undressed
furs were valued at $2o6ooooo compared with $I3,-
100000 in IoIo and $s,sooooo in 1914 Its imports in
1920 $Io3ooooo. compared with $34ooooo in 1919
