FORESTS IN DANGER.

The Methods of Some Naval Stores
Operators Injurious to the Trees.
Editor of the Morning News: Some Of
the naval stores operators are making a
serious mistake-one which will cause an
enormous loss to the state, particularly
TO South Georgia In many places it
may be observed that the pines worked
for naval stores are cut almost entirely
around, in consequence of which many OF
the trees die. Old North Carolina tur-
pentine men say that the trees in that
state are injured very little by. being
worked for turpentine, and from what
have seen | am convinced that the same
would Re true in Georgia if the trees
were worked in the same way as in the
former state.
The trouble in South Georgia is that
some operators who buy the privileges of
working tracts of pine lands bleed the
trees to death in order 20 get as much
product as possible from them in a short
time. When the trees have been worked
as long as it can be proftably done they
have no further interest in the timber,
and do not care how much of it is
destroyed.
If a tree only has one box" cut in it, or
two at most, according to size, it may be
worked with only partial injury to the
IL feet and still furnish good timber for
the sawmills. Besides it is evident that
a greater aggregate of naval stores may
be obtained if the trees are worked in
such a way as not to impair their vitality,
than if they are bled to death in two or
three years.
The opinion is widely prevalent that the
forests are being rapidly laid waste by
the saw mills. That is erroneous 1t is
OhVlOuS that the saw mills OulU ron sumo
such timber as is large enough 10 be
sawed with profit, while the naval stores
operators work trees from six or eight
inches in diameter up When all the
merChantable timber is taken from aver
age South Georgia timber land the trees
seem to be almost as numerous as before,
and in comparatively few years the
younger trees will be ready for the saw,
and so on indefinitely; but if trees, sap
lings and all, are destroyed by the naval
stores operator, the forests will not be reA
produced for more than a century, as the
more numerous variety of South Georgia
pine pines Cubensisl is a tree of slow
growth. Moreover, the saw mills are by
force of circumstances confined to the
vicinity of railroad lines and navigable
rivers, while naval stores manufacture
may be carried on at a much greater dis
lance from the transportation lines.
This is matter which concerns the
whole state, but Savannah and South
Georgia particularly. Not only is the
timber supply menaced, but the naval
stores operators themselves, if the reck-
. less waste continue, may before long find
their occupation gone. There is no
doubt that the evil exists, and remedy
should be found for it, The owners Of
pine lands should see that, in selling tur-
pentine privileges, the future values oil
their lands is not greatly reduced by the
trees being killed. Something might be
accomplished in that way. while the
state should protect her wild lands in
the same manner, p. c.. ..

proper conception of the purposes for
which the department was created. 1t
would be my ambition, in a practical
manner, to bring the department nearer
the accomplishment of those high pur-
poses than has yet been done. The de-
partment should be in closer touch with
the people, and it should hasten to do
what its organizers intended it should do

agency for advertising Georgia, particu-
larly as to what has been done and NAV

ask US to go into the pulpits and be

that or the property accepted from the
government on conditions that it be us
ed for militia purposes, should be sur
rendered. If Sisseton is not a desirable

AS the state has received no title to

and as the state has made no appropria-
ton that will take the militia there il it
had title, we see no valid objection to
any city in the state giving the boys an
outing if it sees fit to put up the funds.
II the News is SO jealous of ambition
why does it not get Aberdeen to put up
$4,000 and stake them to S:sseton. It

SIOUX CRY. Ia, April 1.-THE plan
of the county commissioners to deliver

known. G. +. Beal claims he had an
agreement to have the board deliver the
bonds to him at par, but was to pay
$1,000 to the members Of the board for
his bargain. He says the board got o bet
ter proposition from Frank Hutchins
and threw him over. Hutchins admits he
had the signatures OF four OF the 1--WE
commissioners to q contract in which
they agreed to deliver bonds to him at
par and that he got them after Beal was
thrown over. He refuses to state what
inducements he held out to secure the
signatures. Chairman Adams has taken
a stand that will defeat any trickery.
Bids have now been advertised for and
