«»- THE HARB-MOOD BARK *#-Colleton -** Our engineering department has designed and built a tank to haul water for filling the barrels on the yard and other places around the plant for fire protection. The tank is made of cypress, is three feet wide, three and a half feet high and six feet long and is mounted on a two wheel lumber buggy. Miss Letha Sanders, Marvin Carter and sister, Miss Maebelle. This is just a small view of the log bed on the yard at the Colleton woods camp. It is covered and has a small trap door at the top for filling. When closed it is water tight, thus eliminating waste of water. This system is a great improvement over the old method when the barrels were hauled and half the water lost because of the rough roads and spilling when the barrels were filled. The water is now conveyed through a two-inch suction hose by gravity, and controlled by a valve in the rear lower side of the tank. Two men with a team can now distribute more water at considerably less cost than formerly with the open top barrels. This device is a great time and money saver at Colleton and could probably be used to advantage at other operations. Extremely high waters lately caused considerable difficulty in obtaining «nough logs to keep the mill going. Yet the mill has been making some remarkably fine cuts. A. J. Weeks began the month of May with the determination to break all Colleton records, and we believe he would have succeeded had the logs not become scarce because of the inability to bring them from the woods during the high waters. S. M. Wolfe, division superintendent, was pleased during a recent Ten visit, with the improvement made here in the cutting and selecting of the logs. . . We understand that E. E. Ritter, our former division superintendent, is to visit us soon. We will be very glad to see him again. . . Mrs. Charles Manning has returned from Clara Esdorn Hospital, Walterboro, where she underwent a minor throat operation. We hope she will speedily recover. . . The home of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Carlton was blessed last month when a nine pound boy arrived. The youngster has been named Vernon, Jr. The stork also left a baby at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Sanders. A LIGHT NEEDED The stingiest man was scoring the hired man for his extravagance in wanting to carry a lantern in going to call on his best girl. "The idea," he scoffed, "when I was courtin' I never carried a lantern; I went in the dark." The hired man proceeded to fill the lantern. "Yes," he said sadly, "and look what you got." **> Nantahala ■-»< Our company lost a man of sound judgment, of rigid principles of truth and honesty, and one whose memory is forever enshrined in our hearts, in the passing of Alfred Winton Horn, for years Colleton's legal advisor. He was apparently in splendid physical condition Friday, May 3 and died the next day. Macon county loses one of its best and dearly beloved citizens, and we feel that it is especially fitting that he be remembered in the Nantahala news this month. We all loved him, and how we do miss him! Mr. Horn practiced law for thirty- two years. In 1925 he represented this county (Macon) in the state legislature, where he was recognized as one of its most brilliant leaders. Mr. Horn's only son, Victor Hugo Horn, was killed in France during the World War. The elder Horn was sixty years old. He frequently commented on the enjoyment he received in reading the Hardwood Bark. Our sympathy is extended to all who mourn his loss. The mill is running full time, with no tie-ups, the cut has been good and the cost as it should be. One of the best things to report is that we have been having no accidents. The outstanding feature is that the laborers are becoming more efficient in their work. Efficiency and Care reduce hazards; in fact the word Efficiency is one of the biggest words in the lumber business. As the sap staining season draws nearer, we are putting forth every effort toward installing a high line; to do this we are clearing a six acre lease for a distance of one thousand feet from the mill, thus making an ideal location for piling lumber. Harry P. Moore, chief clerk of the legal department, Columbus office, spent a few days with us early in May. Mrs. Jess Brooks and daughter, of Asheville, N. C, spent a week end here with Mr. Brooks recently. . . Frank Wolfe, son of S. M. Wolfe, our division superintendent, and his friend, Mr. Wilson, of Asheville, came here one Saturday for fishing, but owing to the rain they didn't have much success. . . There is much planting of gardens, fencing of yards, etc. at this time. We are glad to see the good work going on, for it helps to beautify the place. . . Evan Danielson and family and "Bill" Gillian and family went to Proctor one Saturday and returned the following Tuesday. . . "Bill" Cole and Harlan Franklin, of Barrett, W. Va., spent a recent night here. . . Hugh A. Nuckols was in Asheville over a week end. . . "Uncle Section crew and Park Creek Camp, Nantahala woods. Charlie" Slagle was here for two or three days. He was delighted with the improvements that have been made. We wish to say a few words regard-

“The Hardwood Bark” was a publication produced “for the employees of the W.M Ritter Lumber Co.” William McClellan Ritter (1864-1952) organized the company in 1901 and, from 1903 until 1926, the company operated on Hazel Creek in Swain County, North Carolina, before moving its operations to Nantahala. Published during the 1920s, the monthly newsletter typically ran to about 25 pages. “The Hardwood Bark” was filled with articles on the Ritter company and the timber industry, but also included local stories. The pages included in this collection were selected because they relate to communities within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town of Ritter was near the junction of Hazel Creek and the Little Tennessee River; a sawmill was built at Proctor, about four miles north of Ritter. The town of Ritter has long since been abandoned and Proctor is beneath the waters of Fontana Lake.
