SPARKS CAUSE
MANY FIRES
Chief Stae Fire Warden Re-
ports to State Department
of Conservation

TRENTON, March 24-The atti-
tude OF the various railroad compa-
MES operating in New Jersey in ref
erence to the prevention of forest
Tres resulting from sparks from To-
comotives. came up for a censuring
here yesterday when officials of the
DAD conferred with state officials.
y. p. WILDER, assistant state for
ester, and former Senator William
Florence of New Brunswick, presi-
dent of h Board of Conservation
and Development, looked after the
interests of the state.
Mr.. WILDER, in opening the meet
ing, declared that most of the fires
caused by the operation of the rail-
roads are in the vicinity of New
Jersey known as The Pines" He
implied that the officials of the roads
were minimizing the importance of
their taking preventive action. They
have not been studying the problem
recently, he said.
John G. Rose, representing the
Pennsylvania system, offered the
alibi that the number of fires caused
i'll New Jersey by sparks from locos
motives is far lower than the num-
Der in Pennsylvania.
THAT is 10 excuse" remarked MI.
WILDER. 1--WE are far ahead of our
sister state in conserving our forest
land. There were too many fires in
our state last year to suit our de-
partment, and we are not going to
allow a repetition of hat this year.
1t you railroad officials do not take
some action. and I am sure o will,
we will nave to enforce the law to
the letter by employing ~patrolmen
for your roads at your expense"
However, the general sentiment
at the meeting, which was called by
the officials of the state, was hat
the railroads would cooperate to
the fullest extent with the depart
ment in reducing the number of
fires.
Il realize stated former Senator
Florence. that the railroads for the
PAST few years nave been having a
difficult. time Now l think, how
ever, you are speedily regaining your
financial strength, and should be
willing to take some action in this
line as you so efficiently did before
the war;"
Railroad officials who took part in
conference included: 8. r. Iartman,
of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey; John c.. Rose. Y. II. Bensln-
ger, John NJ. kinkaide. John Foley

O Murders in 1921.

More than 10000 murders were
committed in the United States dur
ing 1921. This is revealed by a check
up conducted by Dr.. Frederick L.
Hoffman, consulting statistician of
the Prudential Insurance Company.
Hoffman found that 20 leading cit
lies, with combined population Of 20,-
55S, ITO, had 1910 murders last
year.
On a population basis, this is over
10000 known murders for the whole
country. To them must be added the
unknown number of murders that
are successfully concealed and do
not show up in the police reports.
These probably run into the thou
sands.
The death toll should draw "a grim
smile from the Turks, next time
America gets excited about Arme-
man
Picture a town of 10000 inhabi-
tants, all murdered in cold blood dur
ing n night. A frightful picture.
But it's a true picture of the murder
situation in our. so-called civilized
With this slaughter spread out
over a gigantic territory of people,
with a murder here and there, day
after day, and we lose sight of the
terrible total.
DR.. Hoffman found that the 1921
murder rate was a fraction more
than nine out of every 10000
Americans.
Allowing for concealed murders
that are never definitely discovered
INCLUDING many missing persons"
%cases,) a conservative estimate is
that one American in every 10000 is
murdered yearly.
Meaning: Your chance Of being
slain is one in 10000 each year, one
in 100 during a period of 10 years.
Figure it up over a lifetime and, if
you lived 100 years, one chance in
100 of being murdered.
The Greenville Piedmont, quoting
the above figures, observes that the
brighter side of the picture is that,
while more than 10000 are murder
er in a year, at least 100000 900 are
not murdered. AS in all other forms
|of crime, evil is "far and away" in
the minority. That's why evil gets so
much attention-it's the exception,
unusual.
Most of US, after all, are decent
|law-abiding citizens.-Gerenwood In

The Knockers.

It is a curious trait of human ma.
ture that makes people hate those
from whom they have received ia.
vors, or to whom they have done an
injury.
1t is this quite as much as any.
thing else that explains the knockers
The next time you hear a man
knocking another, try to get at the
bottom of it. AS likely as not you will
find that he has done some injury to
the nan whom he is knocking, OF
has received some favor at his hands.

MIR. Whatley Writes Again
From North Augusta.

Our new pastor, Rev. II. Floyd
Surles, called to the North Augusta
Baptist church is a persistent and an
earnest worker, both in the church
and Sunday school. MI Surles began
his charge here last April. Since that
time rs new members have been add
ed to the church and the Sunday
school, Baraca and Philathea organi-
cations have been greatly revived and
strengthened. Our Sunday school has
about 275 regular attendants The
Baraca and Philathea classes are
largely attended and much good is
being done. Money for all purposes
is easily raised. There is an earnest
and tireless race between the Baraca
and gPhilathea classes ito see, which
can have the largest attendance.
Our two modern brick school hous-
es here, one g high school, under the
auspices of Prof. Rickerson, are in
a fourishing condition.
Through the medium of your paper
I want to thank the good people OF
Edgefeld county who write me such
encouraging letters for my "holy
boldness," as one terms it, for the
stand 1 have taken in regard to the
whiskey question in Edgefield. was
born and lived in Edgefeld county,
and 1 love it and its people (some of
them) and would like to see it the
banner county for prohibition. How
ever, not all the people in Edgefeld
favor my stand against whiskey.
Some are bitter toward me and make
fun of my feeble efforts but the good
Lord says sBlessed are We when men
revile you and say all manner OF evil
against you falsely for my sake, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven"
There are two stills near Modoc
on the West side of your county that
have been doing business quite a
long time. The prohibition director
has knowledge Of these as well as
some others in Edgefeld and l hope
ere long they will be swooped down
upon and the arrest of the parties,
whom I know, will be effected aud be
given what is coming to them. Peo-
pie who are unknown to me are en-
couraging me and giving information
in regard to these stills and whiskey
runners. I feel this way about it: Ey-
cry man and every woman in Edge
field county is responsible for every
drop of whiskey made and sold in
Edgefeld until he or she has done
his or her level best to put it out. All
men know full well what will be the
ultimate end of those who persist
in making and dispensing whiskey.
No one is so blind as he who refuses
to see.

Vests Eulogy of the Dog.

Ihe "Eulogy on the log" one OF
the most famous speeches ever made
by the late Senator George G. Vest
Of Missouri, was made in the course
of the trial of a man who had wan
tonly shot a dog belonging to a neigh:
Dor. Vest represented the plaintiff,
who demanded $500 damages. When
Vest finished speaking, the jury, af-
ter two minutes %deliberation, award.
ed the plaintiff $500. The full text OF
the speech follows:
Gentlemen of the Jury: The best
friend a mar has in this worl. y
turn against him and become his en-
envy. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving ear may prove
ungrateful. Those who are nearest
and dearest to US, those whom we
trust with our happiness land our
good name, may become traitors to
their faith. The money that a man
has he may lose. It flies away from
him, perhaps when he needs it most.
A mans reputation may be sacrificed
in a moment of ill-considered action.
The people who are prone to fall on
their knees to do US honor when sue
cess is with US may be the first to
throw malice when failure settles its
cloud upon our heads. The one abso-
lutely unselfish friend that man can
have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacher-
Gus, is his dog. Gentlemen of the
jury, a mans dog stands by him in
prosperity and poverty, in health and
in sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground, where the wintry winds blow
and the snow drives fercely, if only
he may be near his masters side. He
will kiss the hand that has no food to
offer, he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards
the sleep of his pauper master as if
he were a prince. When all other
friends desert he remains. When rich
es take wings and reputation falls to
pieces he is as constant in his love as
the sur in its journey through the
heavens. If fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world, friend
less and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than that Of
accompanying him to guard against
danger, to fight against his enemies;
and when the last scene of all comes,
and death takes the master in it's EN-.
brace and his body is laid in the cold
ground, no matter if all other friends
pursue their way, there by his grave.
side will the noble dog be found, his
head between, his paws, his eyes sad
but open in alert watchfulness, faith
full and true, even in death.

Harding Names Tolbert Again.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The presl-
dent today returned the nomination
of Joseph W. Tolbert to be marshal
iof the Western district of South
iCarolina, to the senate. Senator N. B.
dial of South Carolina, who has
fought the nomination of Tolbert,
will continue to fight, it is announced
tonight. The senator is hopeful that
the subcommittee considering the
nomination will report it adversely
and thus make unnecessary a bitter
tight in the senate. The belief here is
that Tolbert will never be confirmed.
! Washington, Dec. 9.-Joseph w.
Tolbert, who was nominated today
for a third time by President Hard
ing to be United States marshal for
the Western district of South Caro-
lima, can not resume the duties of
that Office, which he filled for some
weeks under a recess appointment
that expired when it failed of con-
frmation in the special session of
congress, ending Monday, until his
nomination is confirmed by the SEN
ate, according to opinions expressed
here today in well informed quar-
tiers. In the meantime, Nelson R.
Greene, Democrat, who succeeded
Tolbert by appointment of Federal
Judge h. n. Watkins, having been
sworn in at Anderson, S. c., early in
the week, will continpe to act as mar
shall. Opinion to this effect is based
on precedents, it was explained.
Tclbert, Republican executive COM
mitteeman from this state, was nomi-
mated by President Harding to the
marshalship at the last regular session
of congress. Senator Dial of South
Carolina opposed confirmation in the
senate, urging the charge that the
nominee had been convicted in the
courts and was ineligible. He sue
ceeded in preventing the nomination
being confirmed.
After adjournment Of congress,
President Harding rendered Tolbert
a recess appointment, under which he
was sworn in and assumed the du-
ties of marshal. This appointment
failed of confirmation when the SEN
ate took up a large number of pres
ident:al nominations on the last day
of the special session.
Following announcement today
that the president had again nomi-
mated the Republican committeeman,
Senator Dial announced that the fight
against confirmation would be re-
sumed.
Judge Watkins, in appointing
Greene, who is a former sheriff of
Anderson county, acted upon the ad-
vice of District Attorney Ernest E.
Cochran to the effect that he had been
Informed by the attorney general of
the United States that The judge had
authority to fill a vacancy existing
under these circumstances, according
to reports received here.

From u early childhood
Until we are old and gray.
Its coming bespeaks much pleasure,
Good eats, fun and mirth, 9

Rejoice throughout the earth.

Why joy should abound,
Why each should be happy
And pass it all around.

Of Him whose second coming
Will bring Christmas here to stay.
