Reports from Harnett county show that in 1922 t.iis county ha^ 14 for est fires which burned over 18,150 .ncres and caused an estimated dam- sge of 232,080. Usually only the hirger fires are noticed, and it is more than likely that the numerous small flres In the county did as much damage as the fires mentioned in this report. The forest fires In Harnett county were taken from the reports of for mer forest warden, J. S. Johnson. These were checked against the vol untary reports received from that county and indicate that pearly all the large fires In western Harnett were covered, but no reports weYe received from the eastern section of the county. Last winter the county Cbmmis- sloners showed their Interest In pre venting this great annual loss *by entering into a cooperative agree ment with the State Geological and Economic Survek and'a forest war den system is now being organized in the county. It wgs the belief of the county commissioners th’at only Anderson Creek, Barbecue, Johnson- vitle. Stewarts Creek and Upper Lit tle River townships should be cov- ere'd by the work, but several large flre.s in Lillington township this spring indicates that/the work should at leiist be extended to this town ship. The present forest warden system consists of J. A. Spivey, county warden; W. R. Gilliland. Barbecue township; ’ L. W. Jackson and J. A. D. McCormick, Anderson Creek township; H. B. Truelove, Stewarts Creek township; A. Z. Hol der, Upper Little River township, and D. A. HnfBnes, Johnsonville township. These wardens are doing eilupational work and organizing deputy warden systems in their dis tricts, and it is hoped that by fall the people will realize the necessity for txting more careful with fires and those fires which do get out will be held to a small acreage. never that this difference Is a 'good reason for pushing the spring' far rowed pigs tor sale about .Septem ber Ist. He says that another good reason is that when the pigs are properly handled and fed so, as to be sold in Septem'ber they 'will nearly always show a profit, "On the other hand,” says Mr. Shay, "if they are turneid in tht soy bean or peanut fields weighing about 100 pounds and sold during Decem ber as ‘oily’ 200-pouitd nogs in com petition with the heavy ran of corn belt hogs which occurs at that time, they suffer a penalty ot at least |2 per 100 pounds on the score of qual ity, and v/Uon this is added to the seasonal drop it makes a total of $3.35 per 100 pounds or 26.70 per head. “Some day the wonderful c)iiA>atlc advantages of North Carolina, which make it possible to {have ready and pb.vsiclans scattered over Eastern Fanclngt Manufiicturing, Toxtilee, Industrials and Even Newspapers ♦« Share In Glor>- Entertainment to Be £.

Says the Hoke County Journal: “Our good friend Charlie Ross of Lillington is spoken of as a probable candidate for Attorney General, and we want It known we are for him.” Deer Editor; t notice in your edi torial columns that you score tbe Board of County Commissioners for doing a monkey business by with holding bills in proper form. As a member of that board 1 deny the ciiarge. I think I can safely say that the members of tbe board have given due consideration to every bill pre sented to them. We sometimes pass bills back to file for not being in proper form. If there are any bills left on file in due form and not pre sented to the board it must be an oversight of the chairman of the board. I think our chairman is true in heart and purppse and desires to serve his people the best he knows how. 1 am very sorry such an in dictment should occur in your col umns against our board. I really think it is unfortniiate for us that our chairman is aged and that our attorney has to practically -flll the position. 1 feel that 1 am a servant of all the people of Harnett county. ( know 1 can’t be as popular as some men, but I want every citizen of tbe county to feel free to call on me for service. I thank you for your sympathy and for any advice you may give me, and I hope before passing from the office (d service I may bring to pass •onve- needed reforms in our county. Fellow citizens, did you ever try praying for your, county servants in- nead of cursing and abusing them? Our heads may go wrong, but we fed fat our hearts are right. 'Won't you pray that God may give us wisdom to do the right thing ak the right, place at the right time? Mr. Editor, I know you did not intend to wound any one's feelings and think you had .3;ood reasons tor bringing accusatlocts or .criticism against the board, tiut as a member of that board I don’t want the people of our county to feiil that I am aid ing In doing a monkey business, and T fed that 1 am 8p^.^aking the senti ment of my fellow-members. r - Your humble servant, ' Jas.

June 13.—Mrs. Edith! Vanderbili Is back from the Orient with many new Ideas about making the next .State Fair bigger ond bet tor.than ever,before. She Is now ar her borne' at Biltniore, and will give largely of her .time- during the sum mer to .working out these ideas in tangible "^form. ,| Like other North Carolinians, Mrs. Vanderbilt is pnbud of the State and she wants to, ^ake the State Fair representative ,of a great State. Of course, she expects to have agricul tural exhibits hi keeping with the splendid work that is being done in farming, but she wants to do more. She wants all the various Industries of the State represented also. For instance,' there are the furni ture factories at'High Point that are second to none in the South and that rank with the best in other sections of the world. She wants to have this Industry adequately represented at the fair. Then there is the textile industry. Here North. Carolina also leads the South, Some of the best exhibits at the last State Fair were those shown by cotton milla^ She wants to have more of these exhibits fais year. Mrs. VanderbBt doesn't expect to ^top with exUibitjt of agricultural and Industrial progress. .She wants to show what the schools and news papers are doing, for she believes that intelligence must be the basis for all substantial progress in any line of endeavor. ’ Wholesome entertainment is one of 'Mrs. Vanderbilt’s hobbles. She Is arranging to have many interesting features in the iway ' of first class amusement at Ihe State Fair this year. Careful ftudy Is Jselng ^iven to this important featvire of the fair. With the ideas a-ad Impresstlohs gained from hj8r,,iYtlp vabroad, Mrs. Vanderbilt-belleV'M .that she will be able, with' the aid of,the other offi cials of the, fair, who have also been busy coilGct^Ing data, to work out. a program for next ^season that will Insure a fair that will be worthy of a great State.

LiiltPgiqn troop of Girl Scouts en joyed an early hike this morning, going to the Chasm, wheiie tliey pre pared breakfast on the great “open hearth." The entire troop of about fifteen girls answered the roil call, and a jolly good tithe was had by all. ' ‘ . The hike and the hearty breakfast put xest into the business meeting which followed and la fine spirit the girls entered into a discussion - of plans for the summer work. Loca tion of a place for .summer camping was one matter taken up. The girls want a permanent local camp and effort will be made to establish one. An offer has already been received' from the owner of a site admirably adapted to this purpose, tendering the use of the ground tree. Now the girls are wondering if someone v/111 be so kind as to furnish the lumber and materials for b'tilding the lodge. This-will not cost much, and it will be Immensely enjoyed and , be of great benefit to the Scouts. T|ie Girl Scouts 'will' handle the proposition of eoUeeting and'turning In of packages for, the Near East Relief on "Bundle Day”-^next Tues day. Tuesday, June 19th, has been set as “Bundle Day” in Harnett county for the Near East Relief. Every man, woman and child in the county is. askedto gather" up the discarded clothing that :may be' used by the Armenian refugees. next winter and send it to the place designated by the local chairmen of the various committebs. In this way you will he helping to save human lives, and at the same time be adding to to the comfort of orphan children made homeless by the cruel Turks. The fbllowjng local chafrmen have been named:, iBule’s Creek: Miss Mabel Burt.” Duke; Miss Mary L. Cantwell. Lilli-ngton; Mrs. W. P. Byrd. Maniers: Miss Foy O'Quinn. Bunnlevel: Miss Elva Byrd. Coats; Miss Mattie Bain. It win be noted that clothing for winter use is all that Is wanted, and summer clothing such as straw H'ats, patm beach suits and the like-caitfiot be put to any use by the needy ones.' Tt is calculated that there is a large' quatv^lty of clothing that is not need ed now ar/rt probably never will be used any more by the owners. Thus it will be seen that a great good can bo accomplished by; turning In any thing of this nature on hand and let U be put in service. Remember, Tuesday, June 19th— “Bundle .

Raleigh, June 13.—More than halt 8 million dollars were paid out this V^k to members ot the Tobacco Co ops from their warehouses In tbe dJrk fired) belt of Virginia on to bacco delivered since February 17th. This paymept will be followed by further cash distributions to mem bers of the association In thtjee states as soon as sufficient sales.of tobacco by the leaf department of the asso ciation warrant third payments to members in North Carolina and Vir ginia and a, fourth payment in South Carolina. '■ The receipt of 61 contracts in one day this week from new menbets In South Carolina, marks tbe increasing sign-up of tobacco with the associa tion in the southern end of tbe belt. The South Carolina growers now ap- fiear. certain to follow; tbe example of Virginia growers In 1922 in market ing a majority of their tobacco through the association during the coming season. That there will be a crop shortage of bright tobacco In Virginia- pf at least 30 per cent, or well over 80,- 000,000 pounds, as compared tc last year, now seems inevitable. Similar losses have ^een suffered by the far mers of the old belt of South Caro lina, and It .is generally agreed that ' the bright, tobacco crop of the old belt will be 50,000,000 pounds less than in 1922, even with the most favorable conditions hereafter. More th^n 800 crop reports from local units' of the .association have now reached Raleigh headquarters. According to reports from tbe coun ty secretaries in 22 out of 28 to bacco growing counties in- Virginia, there was a prospective shortage of at least 21 per cent in tbe bright tobacco production of that State up to June ist. ' It is estimated that since that time the continued dry weather and the loss of plants have Increased the shortage of the next crop in Virginia alone at tlie rate of 1 per cent a day, up to June Ist. ' The prospects for Eastern North Carolina, though far more favorable than in tbe old belt, .have, been Im paired by' the lack of ralit,' and the unprecedented migration, ot negro labor. South Carolina reports the most’ favorable crop conditions for many, years at thlSj season, but there as. the eastern belt the' loss of negro labor is seriously handlcappInR the tobacco farmers. D.
