Foresters Pay Visit
To Warren; Stress
Value Conservation
"We are today cutting our timber
in North Carolina just twice as fast
as we are growing it, and in addition
to cutting we are burning over
each year thousands of acres of
forest lands and wiping out the
? A _ II. . i. 1 1 J*
secona growm trees mat wouiu, 11
jiven a chance, replace these we are
cutting," L. A. Carter, District Forester,
said here this week.
Mr. Carter, accompanied by J. R.
Miller, chief forest warden, and
Hunter Pinnell, county forest warden,
was in Warrenton on Monday
and Tuesday in the interest of forest
conservation in Warren. This
week has been set aside as Forest
Week by Governor Gardner and the
forest men were here arranging
exhibits in the schools and other
public places in the county.
The exhibit in the window of
Burroughs Grocery Store has called
forth much favorable comment. Friday
is Arbor Day and Bird Day and
the foresters urge the participation
of the public in its observance.
"That it is necessary to call to the
attention of our people the value
and the need for the conservation
of cne of our greatest, if not our
greatest, natural resources, our forests,
is apparent when one considers
the lack of attention our forests
are receiving at the present time,
Mr. Carter continued.
"To most of our people our forests
represent just a group of trees that
always have been and always will
be available for use. Such, however,
it. ?>/%+ fV.Q oaca Wp are todav out
lo huv vkv vmwvi ii v v.. v ?_ ^
ting our timber in North Carolina
just twice as fast as we are growing
it. And in addition to cutting
ve are burning over each year thousands
of acres of forest lands and
wiping out the second growth trees
that would, if given a chance, replace
those we are cutting.
"When we stop and consider that
about two-thirds of the land area or
two out of every three acres in
North Carolina are forest lands and
that these lands can be managed to
produce timber crops at regular intervals
instead of tree growth that
comes in spite of fires and poor
management, it is readily* seen tliat
aur timber lands need our attention.
"The first step in making our
'orest lands a paying investment and
regular crop producer is to protect
these lands from forest fires. Less
than half of the counties in this
State have availed themselves of
State and Federal cooperation in
forest protection.
"Practically all of the forest fires
that annually take a toll amounting
to considerably over one hundred
thousand dollars in North Carolina
are man caused fires and are due
primarily to carelessness. Brush
burning and smokers are responsible
for most of the fires in this State
and are entirely preventable. Every
landowner in North uaroima snumu
instruct his tenants' to keep fire out
of the woods.
"If North Carolina is to again
take its rightful place as one of the
leading timber states, and lumbering
again become one of our leading
industries, furnishing employment
for many men and an increased
income to our people, all
of the people in the State mist
awake to the dangers of woods
burning and keep forest fires from
starting."

WARRENTON, COUNT
THREE JOIN RACE
FOR SHERIFF JOB
Furmer Sheriff Davis, Ben
Tharrington And W. J.
Pinnell New Candidates
P1COT IS NOT~ RUNNING
With the announcement of for????
n tt\ t-v t*r t
mci oucmi n. cj. uavia, w. o. trmnell
and Ben Tharrington that they
would be candidates for sheriff
against Oscar D. Williams, incumbent,
the office of sheriff becomes
the most sought-after job in Warren
with that of Judge of Recorder's
court holding second place. In addition
to the men above mentioned,
R. O. Snipes, constable, remains in
the race for sheriff.
A. L. Nicholson, Macon merchant,
wrote The Warren Record this
week that his name was omitted
from the list of candidates in the
last edition of this newspaper. He
said that he was a candidate for
Clerk of Court and had been for
several days.
Rumor had it that John Picot of
Littleton would oppose J. A. Dowtin
for membership in the House of
Representatives. Mr. Picot when
called last night over the telephone
denied this with the statement that
while he had been approached about
the matter by a number of his
friends he did not at this time see
how he could consider running.
The status of Judge of Recorder's
court remains the same as that of
last week when Dr. W. W. Taylor
announced that he would be a candidate
for this office. Others in the
race are Commissioner F. B. Newell
Sr., John Taylor of Littleton and W.
C. Fagg, magistrate of Warrenton.
John H. Fleming, former member
of the board of county commissinnprs.
announced this week that
he would be a candidate this year.
He and R. Lewis Capps, Areola
merchant, are the only two men
seeking membership on the board
who have published their announcements,
but it is understood that all
the present members of the board,
with the exception of F. B. Newell
Sr., are up for re-election.
No announcement of candidacy
for the office of Register of Deeds
or County Auditor has reached this
office, neither is it known that J. A.
Dowtin will be opposed for the
lower house or that Judge T. O.
Rodwell will have opposition for the
Senate. Eleven weeks yet remain before
the primary and it is rumored
that several other candidates are
being groomed for positions.
The interest in the local primary
is overshadowing the Bailey-Simmons
senatorial contest in Warren,
but both men have their followers
in this county. Judging from sentiment
expressed at Warrenton and
from other points over the county,
however, Warren will go decidedly j
for Mr. Bailey.

Taxpayer Tells Why
He Was Uunable To
Respond To Request
The following clipping on "Overtaxing
Capacity' 'was handed in by
a reader of The Waren Record with
the l-eauest that it be published:
"I wish to inform you that the
piesent shattered condition of my
bank account makes it impossible
for me to send you a check in response
to your request.
My present financial condition is
due to the effects of federal laws,
State laws, County laws, Corporation
laws, By-laws, Brother-inlaws,
Mother-in-laws and Outlaws,
that have been foisted upon an unsuspecting
public, 'through these various
laws, I have been held down,
held up, walked on, sat on, flatten-1
ed and squeezed until I do not know
where I am ,what I am, or why I
am.
These laws compel me to pay a
merchant's tax, capital stock tax,
excess tax, income tax real estate
tax, gas tax, property tax, water
tax, light tax, cigar tax street tax,
school tax, syntax and carpet tax.
In addition to these taxes I am
requested and required to contribute
to every society and organization
that the inventive mind of man.
can organize. To the society of St.
John the Baptist, the Women's relief,
Navy League, the Children's
Home, the Policemen's Benefit, the
Dorcas Society, the Y. M. C. A? the
Boy Scouts, the Jewish Relief, the
Near East, also every hospital and
every charitable institution in town.
The Red Cross, the Black Cross,
the Cross, the Purple Cross, the
Double Cross.
The government has so governed
my business that I do not know
who ownes it. I am suspected, expected,
inspected, dispected, examined,
re-examined, informed required,
commanded and compelled
until all I know is that I am supposed
to provide an inexhaustible
supply of money for every known
need, desire or hope of the human
race, and because I refuse to donate
tc all and go out and beg, borrow
and steal money to give away, I
am. cussed and discussed, boycotted,
talked to, talked about, lied to, lied
about, held up, held down and
robbed, until I am nearly ruined,
so the only reason I am clinging
to life is to see what the h is
coming next."

home at Warren Plains on Friday
