| reasons for so doing, and will give only a
| few. In the first place, a few of the "Drift-
er's" friends are being abused and insulted
| by men who accuse parties that are employ
ed on the hill with being the "Drifter." 1
only and safest way is to leave the Pilot
Knob mining items out of the "Drifter" col
umns. So the driller boss, the lightning
boss, the track boss, the boss hostler, and a
few of the workmen who have had so much
to say about the "Drifter" will not have the
privilege to get vexed and abuse the" Drifter''
Tor the supposed "Drifter" AGAIN.. And let
me say to the dissatisfied ones (who thought
they knew the "Drifter'D to be a little more
cautious in their remarks hereafter, and do
little less backbiting, and don't pretend to
be any ones friend, and at the same time
seeking his or their downfall. 1 will try and
keep the "Drifter" column alive with other
items that will, hope, interest your reat-

Timber Stealing.

We copy from and cordially endorse the
following article in last weeks Piedmont
Leader. 1t will apply equally well to GER
tain parties in Iron county, and, as in Wayne,
| some landowners are now taking steps to
bring the guilty parties to justice. Some
lands in which we are interested have been
stolen bare Of their timber, we have been in
formed; but the thieves may rest assured the
end is not yet:
The government has taken severely hold
of timber stealers and intends to prosecute
every man caught in the act, or on whom it
can be proven. This action will now be fol-
lowed up by private citizens, and it is high
time that step in that direction should be
taken. From what we can learn numer-
GUS parties in this county have been carrying
that do not belong to them for years. In
fact this abOminable business of stealing pine
timber, cOrd-wood and tie timber, has ceas.
ed to be virtue in the eyes Of our land
holders. No one has any more right to cut
pine timber, ties, or cord wood of non resi-
dents lands than to steal corn out of his
neighbours CRIB. Let those who have been
engaged in this piece of rascality look out.
The old fogyism "do as you please" style
understand that some arrests will be made
in the near future, but who the parties are
we are not able to say at present. But we
do say that such depredatiOns should be sup
pressed, it makes no difference who commits
them.
