Forest Fires But This Time They Are Set and Controlled by Wardens To Remove Danger The fire wardens have been busy in the last two fweeks burning safety lanes in the woods from thf? Aberdeen and Raeford road along the territory adjoining Fort Bragg clear to Janies Creek, a distance of seven or eight miles, and the work has been done in such manner that the whole country east of the Sea board railroad has been made safe. No harm has been done the trees, or anything else. This method of earing for fires has made a hit all over the Sandhills and it is pre dicted by the wardens that the day of dangerous fires is past. , ^ ^ I Section 4, establishing the tcwn as — cordially invited.

The crux of the matter is, the Lea gue says, that to save the people and to prevent wholesale tax foreclosures and bond repudiation, it is necessary to cut the taxes and to immediately face the fact that in order to do this the county and the bondholders must at once recognize that no amortization or bonds can be paid during this period of depression. The committee considered that the citizens are face to face with an en tirely new «or!d, with entirely un precedented conditions, and that old formulas and laws and theories will have to be discardeu in favor of a realistic and practical progiam. “When the people are threatened with starvation and ruin, there is neither sense nor justice in applying the old financial and legal rule of lorce,’’ said a member of the com mittee. “It is a self evident fact that no debtor can pay more than he has; it is also self e\ident that a man must lii'st lee-, clothe and shelter his fam ily in some manner, however meagre, ofcioie ne can comriuute to ihe county debts. It is also true that any law, whether made Ly ukase of a Tsar or a vote of tr.e people, or a piece of voluntaiy ;oolishness, which results in the wholesale ruin of the popula tion ought not, and cannot be en forced.’ J Township memi-ers vigorously stat- t'd that the idea that people will not Musical talent of the Sandhills de- 1’®-' ‘Jebts or taxes unless they lighted members of the Kiwanis Club. hounded by lawyers and adver- at their weekly meeting held Wednes- ■ and dispossessed is simply not day noon in the Civic Club room in > iitn ii.e people had me money Southern Pines.
