lying there among the rhubarb and

There lay Tilly with her eyes turned up
to the blue sky and her throat cut from
ear to ear. 1t was most awful sight,
and I turned and fled, but when got
to the kitchendoor I thought, If go in
and tell mother it will kill her, so ran
with all my strength to our next neigh
boris which was about half a, mile
away.
Well, we soon had everyone in the
neighborhood around our house. When
mother was told what had happened
she looked at me with staring eyes and
said: II always knew you would do
this sometime" and then tainted.
When mother said this the neighbors
looked at each other in establishment.
which, however, soon turned to sus-
picion, for they had all heard that Tilly

constable arrived and took me in
charge until after the inquest.

Mrs c. H. Guise, Of 40 Central Avenue,

suffer constantly from nervousness, and her
trouble was aggravated by want of sleep.
Night after night of sleeplessness had

In relating her experience to q Tribune

rainfall the destruction of timber by
fire was remarkably small. In conse-
ouence of the danger the staff was
strengthened in ESPECIALLY exposed places
and close vigilance maintained.
Reports from 40 timber limits where
the system was in operation in 1895
show that as closely as can be estima
ted the quantity of timber damaged
nv fire amounted to 81, 556, 600 feet,
valued at SAL, 600. The number of fires
specially reported was SO, in addition
TO which there were many others,
principally small ones not enumerated.
Anv one at all familiar with back
woods life, and conversant with the
conditions which prevailed prior to
the introduction of the system, can
easily realize the enormous saving
which has been effected by providing
this safeguard against forest devasta-
ton. When the dry character OF the
season and the number of fires actu-
ally started but suppressed before they
had made Roadway is taken into &C,
count, it can readily be seen that but
for the presence of fire rangers at the
most exposed points, areas amounting
to hundreds of square miles would
probably have been ravaged and the
losses to timber licenses and the public
would have been immense. This saw
ing has been effected by the employ
ment of ia men for a few months in
the year, at a total cost of 500. 1853,

FOREST FIRE PROTECTION.

In 1886, Mr.. Aubrey White, now AS.
sistant Commissioner of Grown lands
in Canada, addressed a report to the
Commissioner, strongly advocating the
adoption of a system of fire ranging.
Acting upon this recommendation the
present system, substantially embody-
ing the plan submitted by Mr.. White,
was adopted with highly satisfactory
results. The following r the leading
provisions: A number of men are
placed upon the Crown lands during
the dangerous season, which lasts from
May until about the close of Septem-
Der, in localities specially exposed to
fire by reason of settlement, railway
constructing, numbering or any other
cause. Where the land is under Ii
cense, the CO operation of the limit
holders ia requisite, it being optional
with them to take advantage of the
system, The number Of men neces-
sary to give adequate protect n is de-
cided by the owners of the limit, as
being familiar with the country and
the direction from which danger is
likely to come. The selection of the men
to be employed on the staff is also in
their hands, the Department reserving
the right to reject or remove any man
whom they consider unfit for the posi-
ton. The fire rangers are constituted
officers for the enforcement Of the Fire
Act by Section IA, and act under the
instruction of the Department. They
make the public acquainted with it's
provisions by putting up posters in
conspicuous places and circulating
copies OF it among settlers and Others.
In case fire breaks out they are author
lied to engage assistance for suppress.

half of the expense incurred in main
tanning the staf and s~uppressing fires
ls borne by the Crown Lands Depart

ers OF the limits. The pay of the fire
rangers is fixed at 81 per day, without
BOARD or other extras. They report at
che end Of the season as to duties per-
formed and number and extent of
fires which may have occurred.
The good effects Of the system were
specially manifest last year.. Though

many years, the temperature being q

Life and property are as safe in Mex

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Al, N. O., Dec. 18, 1896.
Permit me to express a few thoughts
through your columns in regard to the
selection Of a good and tried silver
man to represent us in the United
States Senate for the next term. The
conditions of our people ri such that
it is Of the greatest Importance to the
people of the State of North Carolina
that q good silver man should be cleo
ted to that position by Jul legislature;
and / would suggest to the legislative
of North Carolina to elect to that DO.
sition the honorable gentleman and
patriot, VIM. A. Guthrie, of Durham.
The people, 80 far as l have been able
to learn, desire the Major to represent
them in the Uoited States Senate, be-
Iieving that he will be impartial in his
official duties, and prove faithful to
his constituents, irrespective of any
political party whatever. As the 8nan-
ces Of the country r gradually de-
creasing year by year, and distress
seems close at hand. It behooves all
good men to insist upon none but good
and tried men to fill off 5es, from Pres
ident down to constable. The people
are anxiously waiting and hoping that
prosperity may again crown land,
and tranquility, peace and happiness
may abound, from the rivers to the ends
of the earth, and our people only de
sire an equal distribution of the bless
ing, and patronage of a free and indie
pendent citizenship, they do not need
any contraction of the currency. But
an explanation of it, such as free coin
age of gold and silver at the ratio of
16 to 1, would give them, for we GER
tainly have not enough money in Cir
culation now to transact the business
of the country, and for this reason l
think that there should be a true silver
man (such a one as Major Guthrie) be
sent to the Senate of the United States
to advocate and plead for the down
trodden of a liberty loving people,
who are grooming under a financial
burden.
Trusting that each legislator will
give the matter deliberate thought and
elect this patriot and true silver man
to the next seat in the United States
Senate. Please let us hear from other
good citizens of the State in regard to
this matter at once.
Respectfully,
J. P. TINGENT,
