and from there is tioated to Ashevillc,
where it is caught in a boom. THIS
method of transportation is cheaper
than huling with wagons. The roads
from the forest to the river are cor-
structed so as to be down grade all tt e
way. Though the roads are only of
earth, they are carefully graded and
have no steep places. This permits
very large loads of cord wood to be
carried.
The cuttiug rfwooi is to beso dis
tributed that what is cut during a
given period, say ten years, will not
exceed what will have grown during
that time. Atpresent the annual cut
ting is less than what is being yearly
added by growth, SO as to permit the
woods, which are too thin, to thicken
up, and much of the cutting being done
is with the object in view of removing
old trees or defective ones, which by
their shade are interfering with the
growth of young trees beneath them.
Does it pay? So far the Biltmore
forest has been paying for the improv-
ment cuttings which have been made,
as we'll as for all operating expenses
and the possibility of increased returns
is greater each year.
The conditions surrounding the Pts
gah forest are so different from those ex-
isting in the Biltmore forest and it has
been under forest management such
short time, that but few important re-
suits have as yet been ATTAINED from it.
While there are features in the man.
agement of the Biltmore forest which
could not be generally utilized, such as
using the river for transporting cord
wood, there are other principles which
sooner or later every owner of large
amounts of woodland must adopt who
wishes to place his investment on
sound producing basis. There are
some things in which the state, as a
measure to protect and increase the
value of the property which is taxes,
must take action, as preventing. fires
in sections in which the individual or
local authorities are powcrless to sup
press them; Others, as metlsads of cut
ting to increase the value of the grow
ing wool, or t) start young growth
of yellow poplar, white oak, or other
trees, and such matters of detail are
entirely within the province of the
individual.

CATARRH MEANS DANGER.

Because if unchecked it may lead
directly to consumption, Catarrh is
caused by impure blood. This fact is
fully established. Therefore, it is use
less to try to cure catarrh by outward
applications or inhalants The true
way to cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great
blood purifier, cures catarrh bv its
power to drive out all impurities from
the blood. Thousands of people testi-
fy that they have been perfectly and
permanently cured of catarrh by
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

1Iuetru,
LAY OF THE TEXAS HEN.

We have read of Maud, on summers day.
Who, raked, bare-f footed, the new-mOwn hay;
We have read Of the maid in the early mourn,
Who MIXED the COW with the crumpled horn;
We've read the lays that the poets sing,
OF the rustling corn and the flowers of spring,
But of all the lays OF tongue or pen.
There's naueht like the lay Of the Texas hen.
Long. long before Maud rakes her hay,
The Texas hen begins her lay,
And ere the milkmaid stirs peg,
The hen is up and has dropped her egg :.
The corn must rustic and the flowers spring,
If they'd hold their own with the barn yard ring.
II Maud is needing hat or gown.
She doesn't hu.tle her hay to town.
She goes to the store and obtains her sui,
For basket full of fresh hen fruit.
If the milkmald's beau makes Sunday call,
She doesn't feed him on milk at all,
But she works the eggs into custard pie,
And stuffs him full of chicken fry.
When the old man really wants a horn,
Does he take the druggist (?) load of corn?
Not much! He simply robs . nest,
And to town he goes-you know the rest.
He fingers there and takes perchance
Of true reform and correct fee-nance,
While his poor wife stays at home and scowls.
But /. saved from want by these self-same fowls,
For while her husband fingers there,
She watches the cackling hens with care.
And gathers eggs and the eggs she'll hide,
Till she's saved enough to stem the tide.
Then hail, all hail, to the Texas hen,
The greatest blessing Of all the men!
Throw up your hats and make home howl,
For the persevering barn yard fowl.
Though cotton's king, it's plainly seen,
That the Texas hen IS really queen.

ed soil at the rate of 0De-half to three
fourths OF n bale and upwards per acre
than to produce 1T on ordinary worn
and poorly prepared and scantily fertil-
lied soil, at the rate of one bale to three,
four. five and on up to ten acres. Every
farmer knows that it is a fact. Most
farmers also know that it is not safe
to heavily fertilize thin, worn soils with
commercial fertilizer Therefore there
is little danger of going to the extreme
of heavily fertilizing such worn, old
fields in the effort to hold on to the large
area, and at the same time bring up
the yield to one-half bale to the acre.
We are glad to know that the number
of farmers who are practicing the inten-
sive Observation-Disclosures plan is annually
increasing. There are hundreds of farm
ers in Georgia alone who last year made
from one-half to one bale per acre; and
quite a number who averaged one bale
to the acre.
We will repeat that the foregoing APP
plies equally to every crop that is cult
waited on the farm; to every animal that
s kept on the farm. and to every opera
ton of the farm. There is no more
sense and no more profit, and hardly
less loss, in growing ten bushels of corn
or fifteen bushels of oats or thirty BUSH
els Of potatoes on an acre than there is
in growing One-fourth to one-third OF a
bale OF cotton on one acre. Il. J. X.

WILL PRODUCE A REVOLUTION

To the Editor:-To question 1 think
the proposition forbiddlng a Governor or
Attorney General to bring suit to reg
ulate corporations, is high handed and
arbitrary interference by the feneral
government in matters which belong to
the States. think it "a violation of the
Constitution of the United Staes and a
crime against free Institutions Corpora
tons ought to be obedient to the State
laws where they operate, and ought not
to exist if not willing to obey such laws
as may be necessary for the protection Of
others.
IT this constant corporate greed is not
kept in check, in less than twenty-five
years, 1t will produce a revolution that
will tear this government all into shreds.
Question 2. Government by injunc-
ton is highly dangerous form Of oppres-
sion." Its tendencies will be to cause the
people to lose respect for the general gov
eminent, which leads to loss of respect
for all government. God forbid that our
people should ever reach that state.

MR.. w. u. PRUDEN,S VIEWS.

To the Editor:-Answering your let
ter Of the 18th
l. | have no sympathy with the South
ern's suit to enjoin the Governor and
Attorney General Of North Carolina. My
States rights ideas revolt at the prOpo-
sition. Every means should be used to
prevent it. | have always thought such
suits contrary to the spirit, if not the
letter of the NIth amendment TO the Con
stitution.
The fact. however, that J. Pierpont
Morgan and the Rothschlds control the
bonds in no way controls my judgment.
The right or wrong Of the suit is the
same, whoever may control them. The
only effect OF their names in the matter
is to arouse prejudice because OF their
wealth.
With this | can have no sympa thy.
| think it also wrong to attack the mo-
tives OF judges, whose views upon ques-
tons submitted to them do not agree
with your own, as in your editorial of the
18th instant. on Vice Chancellor Green
and Judge Simonton, entitled, "The To-
bacco Trust Decision" There are two
sides to every question and men may diff
fer without being corrupt.
Such attacks destroy confidence in our
judges and impair their usefulness
Prejudice should not be invoked in such
matters nor mems motives needleSsly
questioned.
=. | confess | do not understand well
enough what is meant by Government
by Injunction" to answer definitely your
second question Injunction. even by
the Federal courts, often serves very
useful purpose and | would not have it
abolished.
1t may be abused and | am sure has
been. but | believe the courts themselves
will best correct such abuses

AN IMPORTANT QUERY.

This unavoidable question has to be answer.
ed honestly by Montpelier people after they
have read the opinions given below by Mrs. E.
w. Jordan, No 40 Tarran street, which of
dozen articles all making the same claims can
depend upon the most one endorsed by people
well known in Montpelier or eleven endorsed
by utter strangers. Read this and compare
the evidence with other statements about other
kidney remedies published side by side with it
in the columns of this paper.
Mrs. Jordan says: 1T is four or five years
now since my kidneys commenced to trouble
me with pains across my back. | thought
that in time it would wear off, but it begun to
get worse instead of better At each attack
the pain was more severe and lasted longer.
My back would ache so bad that it disturbed
my rest at night. What sleep did get did not
seem to refresh me, and did not seem to have
much energy in doing my work. If l over
exerted myself | soon felt it in my back, and
often the secretions from the kidneys contained
sediment / used medicines of different kinds
but could not get anything to do me permanent
good. l was feeling pretty bad last winter
when saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
and my husband got box for me at Lester II.
Green's drug store. The first box did me SO
much good that got a second box After
had finished this the pain did not trouble me
any and my back feels better and stronger.
The secretions from my kidneys are normal.
l have recommended Doan's Kidneys Pills to
others and it will please me to do so at any
time for l know Doan's Kidney Pills to be a
good reliable medicine

Valuable Alaska Fish.

One of the very natural comforts to
be had in the Klondike region is found
in the candle fish, which is plentiful
all along the shores of Alaska and fur.
nishes food, light, heat and medicine to
this hardy gold prospectors.
The candle fish is of the smelt varie.
ty, but larger and fatter. 1t is easily
caught and when held up to 1.-THE light
is almost transparent. The Alaskans
dry these fish in large quantities and
store them away for the winter. When
a native is showed in and without light
he has only to insert the tail of a can
die fish in convenient crack and touch
a match to his nose in order to obtain q
clear three ,candle-power light.
The backbone is largely formed OF
PHOSPHORUS, which not only causes
it to ignite easily, but also accounts for
the strength of the flame and the heat
developed. The substance of the fish
largely fat, retards the burning, as the
tallow acts in an ordinary candle. The
fish is also valuable as food. Still an.
other use to which it may be put is as q
substitute for codl liver oil, which aiding
the natural heat of the body, serves to
protect one against the severe cold.
