EDITORIAL
An Aroused Public
Our county and section has received a great deal of na
tionwide publicity during the past several days. Unfortun
ately, most of this publicity has been bad. But it shouldn't
be.
We are not proud of the activities that brought about
this publicity. We regret that any organization like the
Ku Klux Klan could come into our county and get enough
following to rate so much space in publications throughout
the nation. We are exceedingly sorry that TIME magazine
could do such grave injustice to Tabor City and the fine
crusade put forth by my friend Willard Cole and the News
Reporter in Whiteville. Tabor City itself was pictured as
the criminal by TIME rather than the organization which
has done so much to bring our area into ill repute.
Yet. despite all the bad publicity that has brought us
into the public eye, v. e should yet be happy that against
all odds, something has been done about the night flog
gings. It was painstaking, expensive and with great effort
but an aroused public felt the need to cooperate with the
law and through this mass cooperation and willingness tc
give aid, has come our first arrests.
TIME savs we are a "sleeply little Tar Heel town."
That's a matter of opinion. We have never before had the
name of being sleepy; rather on the contrary we have
always felt we had a right lively little community and one
that could get things done when it rose to the occasion.
In the Klan dispute, we believe we were far from being
asleep. We feel that the town's better people were alive
to the needs of eradicating this evil from its conception,
and as the months went by, were more and more alive.
How TIME could have construed the activities of the KKK
with ourt^vvn being sleepy is a little more than the average
person can fathom. And that includes us.
TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA, EPITAPH: "Government

In fact, the cabinet meeting apparently covered even
We talked about Santa Claus, and decided that he was

"We like each other so well that we don't like to leave,
a pretty good fellow."
ITimber Cruisers Survey
Columbus County Forest i
Three two-men teams of timber
cruisers employed by the North
Carolina Division of Forestry
and under the technical supervi
sion of the Southeastern Forest
Experiment Station in Asheville,
N. C. are making a careful and
systematic check of the kind,
size and amount of timber in Co
lumbus County. The project is
part of a state-wide survey and
will show what has happened to
the State's forest resources since
a similar survey was made in
1937. It will show whether North
Carolina has more or less timber
now than in 1937, whether the
timber is being used faster than
it is growing, and whether there
is going to be enough timber to
supply the timber needs of the
forest industries.
ι
The survey consists of making
a study of aerial photographs of
the country side followed by a
check of a number of points on,
the ground. In Columbus County,
for instance, 214 such spots are;
being checked. When the survey,
of the State is complete, more
than 7000 such points will have;
been examined.
•i
This method of spot-cneckmg.
or sampling, does not give esti- (
mates of the amount of timber ι
on small areas, such as a farmer's
woodlot. or even on large hold
ings of several thousand acres.
That is not the purpose of the
survey. Its purpose is to get an
over-all picture of the timber sup
ply over largo areas, such as for
a county or a group of counties.
The proper selection of the
points, or plots, to check on the
ground is very important in a
sampling survey of this type. It
would not do. for instance, to ex
amine plots at various placcs
along the main roads—however
desirable thiS might be from the
standpoint of ease and economy
οί the cruising work. For one
thing, roads tend to follow
ridges, and the timber on the
ridges is not the same as the
timber alone the river bottoms
and in the swamps. Such a sur
vey would show loo much ridge
type timber and not enough bot
tomland timber.
In order to be sure that all
typos of timber is fairly sampled,:
the plots to be examined on the
ground are selected mechanically
from equally spaced points print
ed on the aerial photo~raps.
Those are pictures taken from a
plane flying at about 15.000 feet.
Each photo covers about 10
square miles of land.
The job of the timber cruisers
is to locate these selected spots
and examine them in detail. Be
cause of this mechnnicnl selec
tion. they are just as ap* to end
up in the middle of a swamp as
a farmer* back yard.
L-f Of Milking"
Back in the hill country two
neighboring billbill'es were argu
ing: over the death of a cow. It
seems the cow had strayed into
the still belonging to one of them
and had subsequently died after
drinking a considerable amount
of moonshine.
"It waarn't my likker what
killed your cof—she come home
to you giving egg nog and you
milked her to death."
The timber cruisers report that
they have been much assisted by
the local cooperation and friend
I liness. On their part they make
every effort to close gates and
avoid damaging crops or fences.
They request permission to go on
the land whenever the owners
can be found.
Frequenty, the boys are mis
taken for* road surveyors. Folks
are usually disappointed to find
they are not going to fix their
nearly impassable road. The
cruisers do not mind being mis
taken for road surveyors, but
I based on the experience of sur
vey crews in some sections of
'the country, they prefer not to
be mistaken for revenue officers
looking for stills. They regard
running down timber plots safer
and more pleasant work than
1 running down bootleggers' stills.
The final survey ίηί^
is particularity valuable in 011
ing timber supplies and ■
its industrial use. It also /Uldirig
a factual basis for the
ment of timber conservati1 op·
grams by both private ;!!? ΡΓ°·
and public agencies. %
