  • THE HARkmOOD «»- **r Nantahala <-»* S. M. Wolfe, division superintendent, said on a recent visit here that he was in fine humor. This is apparently an indication that he is not displeased wtih our efforts. Owing to the zero weather, the mill had to lose a little time, but if Mr. 11 ■ '■■:--. View of new Nantahala sawmill and pond full of logs. Warden makes any more cuts like the one he made on a recent day, we will soon more than catch up. The new year brought frigid weather, and the mercury kept slipping downward until it reached nine degrees below zero. The vork went on merrily in spite of the bitter cold, although we sometimes wondered if we hadn't slipped around and stopped somewhere near the Klondiye region. Arthur Storie, construction foreman, was called to Lenoir, N C. by the sickness and death of his mother. He has our deepest symptahy * * * Vern Bateman has his store at the woods camp stocked up rather well, we would say, and is doing a good business * * * John Franklin, of Lenoir, has been a visitor with his brother, Henry Franklin here. The wedding bells rang here recently when Miss Edith Rhodes, of our community, and Glen Freeman, Hender- sonville, N. C. were married. We wish them a long and happy union and hope all their troubles will be little ones. A generous supply of good eats, BARK such as candy, apples, oranges, etc., was presented to our Nantahala employees during the holiday season. We are not sure who sent them, but we can guess.

Yates is especially proud of the notable improvement made in the mannei of sawing Colleton logs to obtain the maximum amount of lumber, a better value and longer lengths. This system was effected through the efforts of Mr. S. M. Wolfe, division superintendent, with the cooperation of A. J. Weeks, sawyer, and H. O. Wynne, superintendent of manufacture at the operation, says Mr. Yates. The central idea is to get the butt end of all logs up the iackslip and into the mill first. This operation starts at the pond, where H. R. Satterwhite and his efficient tong hookers steer the right end into the mill first, so the sawyer can load the log to the best advantage and use the taper levers in such a way that the best grades of lumber possible are obtained from each log. The work of the carriage crew contributes materially to the success of this operation. Mr. Yates writes in a complimentary way of the work done by H. R. Warren during the past year, in keeping the mill going. To do this meant that it was necessary for some men to put in many extra hours each month, both day and night, and thus enable the crew to work during regular hours with a minimum loss of time because of repairs. Mr. Warren is our mill foreman. Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Adams motored to Walterboro recently * * * Miss Sallie Oquine, Williams, S. C, has been spending a few days here with her aunt, Mrs. H. O. Wynne * * * Mrs. Charles Manning and children have returned from Penile where they enjoyed a visit with relatives and friends * * S. L. Calfee, superintendent of manufacture for all operations, spent several days here recently * * * Mrs. J. O. Weeks and children Clara and J. O., Jr., have been sick with the measles. Mrs. J. O. Weeks is now in Clara Esdorn Hospital, Walterboro * * * Mrs. Newt O'Quine has recovered from an attack of measles * * * The little son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Troutman has been ill several days. His friends are all patiently awaiting his return to their playground. Success doesn't consist in never making blunders—but in never making the same one the second time. *#• Maben t»* Clyde Barrett, who ha;; been assistant store manager at Maben for some time, was transferred to Blackey January 15th as store maanger. We are pleased to see Clyde get this well deserved promotion, but of course regret to have him and Mrs. Barrett leave Maben. Ernest Shipman, who has been connected with the Beaver store for a number of years, was recently transferred to Maben as assistant store manager succeeding Clyde Barertt. Mr. Shipman is no stranger, having resided here some years ago, and we welcome him back. G. W. Peck spent several days with End view of end piling at Colleton, showing permanent roofing and flue giving 160 feet sweep. Thirteen
