For Every Tree Cut Two Others Are
Planted to Keep Up the supply.

Planted to Keep Up the supply.
From the Boston Transcript
1t will undoubtedly be news to many
that the vast mahogany forests Of Mica
ragua are controlled in Boston. The cut
ting and shipping of the immense exports
from that country is a great enterprise
in itself, to say nothing of bringing 1t
here and manufacturing 1t into lumber
One steamer plies regularly between this
port and Central America engaged In this
trade. At present she is on her way out
from this port. Five hundred thousands
TO 100000 feet is her usual cargo While
the steamer is now on her way to the
lumber ports, there are somewhere on
the seas bound 10 Boston four schooners
laden with mahogany logs. Their cargoes
ployed IN Nicaragua and the United
States of Colombia by Mr.. Emory are
from 1000 to 1900 native workmen and
lumbermen. These are under American
furniture Is made vary in age and size.
When cut they range in age from p TO
years old. They average twenty-five
inches or more in diameter and run as
large as forty inches, and even more.
For every ma hogany tree that Is cut two
others are planted, and thus the forests
are practically incXhaustible.
From the time that the tree is felled
to the hour that " is dumped Off the
steamer at the Chelsea docks is an event
full life for the mahogany log. The tree
is cut into the proper lengths and then
comes the tedious journey 10 the coast,
where II ~ taken on board the vessels
for this port The greater part Of the
cutting Is done during the dry season,
which I'm the United States Of Colombia
begins about the lst Of December. The
natives OF this country seem TO- make bet
ter logRers and are better adapted to lum-
bering than the Nicaraguans In Nicara-
qua the season ~ more irregular, and for
numbering Ia less TO be depended upon
After the tree ~ cut " IL hauled 10 the
nearest waterway and RATED TO the coast
The logs are hauied by teams OF oxen
from one TO six miles In Nicaragua. but
often the distance vs. very much greater
the Journey sometimes taking two days
The roads consist OF paths through the
forest that are nothing more than swamps
and morasses. through which the oxen
and horses founder along. only animals
trained to this kind OF work would ever
make any progress and American beasts
would wallow about perfectly helpless.

ern account, caused rise here to-day
The advance in Liverpool in the face OF
reaction here yesterday was attributed
to small crop movement last week and
the absence of selling pressure. Part of
the early rise was lost before the close
however. on realizing sales, but the last
prices showed net Improvement of the
day The receipts at the ports this week
are expected TO show some increase. the
total for the week being estimated at 95,-
co., against Sc, 500 last week and 9l,303 last
year. New Orleans both bought and sold
The expected increase in the crop move
ment and the war talk from Europe had
much TO do with the reaction.

disposition on the part of the bears to
even up contracts over the double holl-
day, and an advance of AMls per cent
followed. The upward movement showed
in the lndustrials and Western Union and
Changers most prominently The adj
vance brought out long stock, some for
eign holders having turned up as sellers,
owing to the unsettled condition of Eu-
ropean politics. There was no pressure
TO sell. however, and the declines were
of small proportions. The bank statement
was regarded as rather unfavorable, but
it had no influence on the stocks specu-

GARRY A NORTH CAROLINA FLAG

Miss Jones, sponsor for North Carolina,
will carry with her to Nashville, to be
used in the Veterans procession, feg
winch was sent to her yesterday by Mrs.
Martha Avery Phifer, of Morganton. The
flag was made by the ladies of Raleigh
and presented to the Thirty-third regi-
ment when her grandfather, l.. OBJ.
Branch, was colonel and G. NJ. Avery
lieutenant colonel of the regiment. Both
of these gallant men were killed avery
afterwards commanding a regiment in
Branch's brigade). But this same flag
was carried by the regiment through the
entire war and presented to Col. Avery s
daughter, Mrs. Phifer, of MOrganton, at
its close.

earnings of such road, under existing
conditions. at S22,500 for the first year;
this would be 10 per cent on capital
of S225. 900. But such a road would
prove a great stimulus to travel in that
direction. and a conservative estimate
would place the increase at double the
present figures for the second year, and
a growing ratio for future operations,
and such a road would remove the very
seriously Objectionable features now i'm
posed upon a generous public. Much
complaint is made of the loss of time at
Hickory and Lenoir, and more grievous
still, the expensive and fatiguing drive
of twenty miles behind jaded horses,
often through the dead of night, up the
precipitous sides of the Blue Ridge. This
hardship is endured annually by hum
dreds of mothers, with little children,
and many ladies travelling alone, yet
with all these disadvantages and draw
backs, they flock to these health and
pleasure giving resorts until the hotels
and boarding houses are filled to the
overlooking.
In conjunction with this plan, and to
be intimately associated with it, if not
part of it, are to be two hOtels-one at
Morganton and one at Blowing Rock.
These hotels are to be of the better
type, fully equipped with modern inn
provements, and to be operated on the
cooperative plan, i. e., guests engaging
board at one of them, may divide the
time, staying at either at the same rate
per week or month, as the case may be.
At Morganton a modern hosiery is
much needed, and at Blowing Rock the
most picturesque, as we'll as most eli
gible, site there has been secured; it is
centrally located and in the most COM
handing position, and is designed to fill
a place all its own, and for which there
is great demand. Both of these hotels
will yield fair profits, at least 10 per
cent to the stockholders.
1t is considered that a joint stock
company, with paid in capital of $780,
600 to $3.50, 900, will be sufficient for all
the purposes named.

THE FEMALE HOBO AGAIN.
4 Collection Was Taken up for Her ii
the Mayors Court Yesterday.

the Mayors Court Yesterday.
The female hobo, May Lucas, was up
before the Mayor yesterday afternoon
on charge of disorderly conduct. 1t
appeared on trial that it was not On ag-
gravated case and in view of the fact
that she had spent the night and day
in the Station-house she was released
on a promise that she would leave the
town.
This she promised to do, but said that
she would have to walk. This aroused
the sympathy of the crowd of spectators
and at the suggestion of one of the by
ISLANDERS a collection was taken up to
help buy her ticket. In less time than
it takes to tell it hat was passed and
S2.45 in quarters, dimes and nickels were
Clipped in.
As already stated in this paper this
remarkable character is a goOd-loOking
woman. Her face does not look de-
PRAYED though in her actions she seems
simple almost to Stiffness.
She has never told the same tale twice
as to her place of residence AMI business
here. Yesterday she told the Mayor her
home was in Greenville, S. c.; that she
came here nearly three days ago; that
she paid her way here on the train
with money given her by her people in
South Carolina; that she came to meet
Il brother who lives here, and that her
husband is on the Wadesboro State
Farm. Nearly every one of these state
ments is known to be false
When she left town she came down
from the Mayors office and walked
rapidly down Fayetteville street, with
the money just given her clutched in ner
hand.
She was represented before the Mayor
by Mr. Moses n. Amis.
Two Bowery bellies fell out and quar-
relied over a negro boy that both of
them were fond of-Sim Cooper. Their
. language was rather sulphurOus--at
least Sue Browns was-and she and her
rival, Mag. Brooks, were arrested
Sue was fined 1926 and Mag was
let go with warning from the Mayor.
