THE DESTRUCTION OF FORESTS

Forest fires in many sections this
summer have been worse than ever
before. An enormous amount of tim
ber, which should have been a
vailable for building houses has been
destroyed. The people of Brookha-
ven who complain because building
materials are high, can find one reas-
on therefor by asking people who
have visited these forest fire regions.
An energetic propaganda has been
conducted to teach campers to put
out their fires carefully. There is
not so much forest destruction re-
sulting from their carelessness as
formerly. The greatest causes of such
loss now are said to be matches and
cigarettes thrown away by hikers,
touring parties, and others, also
sparks from railroads.
Every man who goes through a
woodland tract shows mighty little
judgment and public spirit, when he
throws lighted match or burning
cigarette into the underbrush.

Writing from Jackson, Mr.. Arthur
Williams says:- Some years ago /
heard one man on the street, whis-
pering to another, jestingly referring
to some recent law touching the NOR
ality. of the town, This is the Holy
City The spiritual awakening which
has come to Jackson is approximat-
ing this standard far more nearly
than these testers dreamed. Sunday
night, / attended great union meet
ing at the Playground, led by the now
famous Flying Squadron. A vast
audience of fiye thousand or more,
attested the responsiveness of the
people. This is one of the greatest
movements which our state has ever
experienced"

In ten-minute trial before the
Recorder in the City Court at New
Orleans, Frances Birkhead, who is
suing Gov. Lee M. Russell for $780,
900 damages, was discharged on a
charge of disturbing the peace. The
fact developed that Miss Birkhead
made an attempt to keep the peace
at her rooming house where her
landlady was giving party and men
presumed upon the occasion. Miss
Birkhead returning from business to
go to her room, called the police to
quiet the disturbance and was her
self made a party to it.

cal observers say rs per cent or more
of Miss Kearney's vote will go for

at that the difference between what

not be enough to permit any lack Of

worn out two completely since he en-
tered the service.
Mr.. Allison gave the reporter some
interesting statistics yesterday rela-
tive TO mis- long service. In the twenty
years he has used nine horses and
one mule, all ten of the animals hav-
ing been virtually worn out in the
grind Eight buggies have been driven
TO pieces in his service of the route
as we'll as two mail carts. He has
never used an automobile in the
work and neither has Mr.. Clark.
Mr.. Allison's daily route is approx
mately 25 1-2 miles long. Calculating
six days TO the week and % weeks TO
the year he has Travelled in twenty
wears a total of 159, 120 miles. Count
ing holidays at 15 days year for each
of the twenty years, the net mileage
travelled is $50. Since the circum-
ference of the globe is reckoned at 25,-
600 miles, he has travelled on York No.
g distance equal to slightly more
than six trips around the world.
In that time Mr.. Allison has expert
enced bad roads and better roads; but
never has he had the satisfaction and
pleasure of travelling on his route over
roads that were considered really ideal,
an extent that he was unable to cross
and he has seen snow and ice on the
ground that made it well nigh impossi-
BILE to serve his patrons for the time
being.
One carrier in York county, Mr.. Ed
Conner of Rock Hill No. l, has been IL
| the service longer than Messrs. Allison
and Clark. Mr.. Conner reached the age
of retirement (65) some time ago; but
was continued in the service at his own
request.
Roth Messrs. Clark and Allison il
the past twenty years have seen the
rural letter service extended very con-
siderably, and they have also witness
ed a great increase in the quantity o.
mail handled.
Both carriers have many friends wht
gladly testify to their faithful service
and who are proud of their records.

EAT THE MELONS

Governor Harvey on Friday issued
= proc;amation calling upon the peo-
ple of the state to join with Georgia
and other states in eating more water
melons during the week Of July 3. Inc
governor set aside this week as
"Watermelon Week." This proclama
ton is as follows:
"Whereas, the number of water
melons produced in the United states
is one of the largest on record thiS
year, as a result of the efforts OF many
of our farmers to diversity their crops
in tightig the adverse conditions which
have confronted them, and, whereas
unless the consumption OF TINS pro
duct is heavy this increased yield VIII
not prove sufficiently rcmuneratlVe
to pay the growers for their time ana
labor: and, ...-.
Whereas, in view of this situation.
the South Carolina Cotton Growers
association, following the example Vi
the governor of Georgia, has set aSlde
the week of the 3rd of July as water
melon Week. and has asked that /, as
governor, call upon the people OF thls
state to unite with other melon pro
ducing states in an effort TO crySlaliHc
public sentiment in the channel "i
promoting sales and the consumption
of this bumper crop.
"Now, therefore, /, Wilson &. Har-
vey, governor of South Caroiina'
heartily join in this request IN lne
hope that this movement Will result
not only in aiding our farmers by dc-
creasinG the flooded markets, hut III

able organization still seems to be
very much alive. Lynn j. Frazier the
Non Partisan league governor was
commonly conceded to be 4 man oi

character, who was giving the state 4
clean administration. But his oppon-
ents, political and economic, manag-
cd to have him recalled from the gov
ernorship by means of q fiuke, under
circumstances where the great mass
of voters had not been aroused to the
danger. BY shrewd manipulation the
enemies of the league had involved
Governor FraZi er in things with which
he really had nothing to do, and great
was the satisfaction that was oc-
casiOned by his downfall. But now II
looks like these folks Ovcrreacheo
themselves. Had they let FraZlel
alone, he would no doubt have been

Compared with twenty-five years
ago there has been wonderful improve
ment in pedigreed seed and breeds OF
stock in York county. There are hun
dreds of people who then thought seeds
were seeds, stock were stock and
chickens were chickens, who now
recognize that it is only the best that
are worth having. But this progress
is not as general as it ought to be or as

through the best seeds, the best stock

The mining and distribution OF
coal involves the services of operators
who employ and organize the miners
and also the services of the miners
who are to be employed and organiz-
ed. Coal can be mined by the miners
alone; but the mining of coal cannot
be of use to the public without distri-
button. The operator cannot operate
without the service of miners. The
public needs both miners and opera
tors, and the public wants to see
both get a fair deal; but the public
should not tolerate new rich lmpu-
dence on the part of operator
profteers any more than it should
tolerate lawlessness on the part OF
the miners. But still it is worth
while to inquire whether the lawless-
ness of the operators is any less per-
nicious than the lawlessness of the
miners.

McCumber was not only the head OF
the agricultural bloc; but as chair
man of the finance committee or the
senate was in favor of the bonus. The
old lives were opposed to both propo-
sitions. There is lot of talk about
how the defeat Of McCumber en-
harnesses the Harding administration
We fail to see it that way. Indeed 1t
is difficult to see how the old guard
can care about McCumber's defeat. on
the contrary the old guard is very well
pleased no doubt. or course the old
guard expects nothing from Senator
Elect Frazier; but it will be many
years before Frazier can be in posi-
ton to worry the old guard as NC
Cumber has been doing. 1t is al
together probable that the old guard
has not been losing a great deal OF
sleep over the outcome of North DaKo-
ia for it has little to gain there one
way or the other.

With the countrywide strike of
shopmen, declared by union leaders 10
be virtually 100 per cent. effective, the
nations great transportation machine
continues it's word without Interrupt
ton. Railway executives were unani-
nous in expressing their belief that
the strike will have little effect on the
operation, of their roads ana at the
same time assert that any move to-
ward a settlement will have to come
from the United States labor board or
the employees. B. NJ. Jewell, president
of the, railway department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, who on sat
urday refused to appear at Federal
inquiry into the strike call, reiterated
that the only basis for a settlement
was for the railroads to agree not 10
put into effect wage decreases recently
ordered for the shopmen by the labor
board. Ben w. Hooper, chairman or
the labor board declared in formal
statement Saturday, that the power OF
the government, coupled with PUBIC
sentiment, will give every protection
to every railway shop employe who re-
mains on the job and to- all new men
who take the places Of the strikers in
the present walkout. Mr.. Hooper as
serted that the strike was called
against the decision OF a Federal trl-
bunal over rulings laid down after
careful consideration of the evidence
on both sides. The men who take the
places of the striking shopmen Will
render a public service, he declares,
and should therefore be immune from
the characterization of "scab' or
strike breaker"

afternoon while in bathing with Il

of his friends. had walked about three
miles to the river to go swimming Iii
water very little over his head ana
only q few feet away from one OF his
friends, whom he caught as he was
sinking. The friend, believing ttat
the drowning boy YVES only diving ard

ed that he thought freeland was only
playing at the time and when Free
land caught him he was almost eX-
haustcd and he also came near being
drowned.
