wish TO snbmit few figures in regard
to the financial condition OF Gillian
county.
As shown by the recent report filed
by Judges Mariner and Laycock and
County Clerk Butler, the total indebted
ness of this county on March 4th 1899
Was SS2 ,653. .05. Of this amount the
same report sets aside the sum of

county. II also places valuation OF

the condition OF the county made on
March 3lst, 1899, we find that the re-

To Grow New Timber.

Chief Clifford Pinchot, of the forestry
division of the Department of Agricul-
ture, has been in the state this week.
lie was the originator of the idea of
practical forestry schools. The first
school of this kind was established in
North Carolina last year. Another,
and successful one, was instituted in
the Adirondack mountains, where the
spruce timber was made a special
study. So satisfactory seemed these
efforts at forestry instruction to have
been that congress increased the ap-
preparation $4,000 for this year. This
gave Mr.. Pinchot an opportunity to
establish course of instruction in the
red fir timber of this state. Said he
during a conversation at Tacoma,
"this field work is comparatively
new thing in the line of practical
forestry. 1t is under a plan the divis-
ION has adopted contemplating a
method of advising timber owners and
lumbermen as to the proper handling
of forest lands. If man wants to cut
timber under our system we 60 and
spend some time making scientific
study of his timber with view to
saving for him new crop. So far We
have applications covering 100000
acres of forest land.
Cutting is still going on in the Ad.
irondacks, the largest company there
operating along our line of advice. In
our study of the Adirondack spruce
we can predict that new crop can be
realized in about 81 years. What MIR.
Gaskill is doing here in the red fir of
Washington is basis for a similar re-
suit in forestry prediction. We can
predict with great accuracy.
"There is no general principle that
we can say is to be followed. An ac-
tual study must be made of the timber.
This is done upon application from
the timber owner desiring it. We
send man to study his timber. He
pays his running expenses and our
division pays his salary.
"It cannot be said that by simply
cutting down the larger trees and
leaving the smaller ones, another crop
can be secured. On its face this seems
to be the case, but at great many
things have TO be taken into considera-
ton. Fire is an important element
in the science of forestry. 1t may be
that the very best thing to do is to
burn off all the stumpage and COM
pletely clear the land. This can only
be determined by actual experimental
ton.
Congress has given us an appr0-
priation for this year amounting to
500. Last year the sum was $685.
500. We can use up all the appropria-
tion congress will give us and the pub
lie gets the fullest benefit. Our work
will expand as congress provides US
with the means for carrying it on"

How The Old America Won the Cup.


The America sailed for Havre and
arrived there early in August, 1851.
She rapidly fitted up for the race and
then proceeded to Cowes. The visitor
arrived on dark night, and it must
have been an interesting moment when
the dawn showed her to the great fleet
OF English boats full yachtsmen strain
ing their eyes to size up the stranger.
The Yankee craft was about as differ
ent from an English yacht tas could be
imagined with her great beam and
shallow hull, while the typical English
cutter OF the period was Of the "plank
on end" variety. She soon showed
her mettle by defeating one OF the tas-
test boats III a brush into Cowes, and
this achievement made it more diff
cult for her to arrange her races. At
last however, she was allowed to sail
under the regulations of the Royal
Yacht Squadron in the race around
the Isle OF Wight for a cup offered by
the Royal Yacht Squadron. In those
days no allowances were made for tom
mage, sail, area, or anything else. All
the boats, Dig or little, started off, and
the one that came in first won. Eight
teen yachts were entered, ranging
from the little cutter Aurora, of AZ tons,
to the three -masted schooner Brilliant,
OF 392 tons, the America being two
masted schooner Of ITO tons. Fifteen
OF the yachts started. The America
did not get off among the first but be-
fore third of the distance was traver-
sed she had assumed the lead, and
when the breeze ireshened up she gain
ed so decidedly thatit was seen long
before the end that the race was un-
doubtedly hers, barring an accident.
Just as big storm was settling down
the Yankee schooner crossed the line,
winning from the whole English fleet
of yachts, her time being 8 hours and
AZ minutes, while the second in the
race could do no better than 8 hours
and 5S minutes, and the third one
was over half an hour over the line.
The cup won by the America on
August %, 1851, remained the prop
erty of the owners OF the yacht until
1857, when they presented it to the
New York Yacht Club, providing that
itshould be offered as trophy for a
race with any challenging yacht of
any foreign country, for yachts not
less than 80 nor more than 800 TONS
From "The Americas Cup Race in
1899, in the American Monthly Reviw
of Reviews for August.

bicycles is very great, and is growing.

East Indies last year purchased $82,

while thepurchases from Japan and
Africa have for the present year $110,

The leaving OF thousands Of dead
hemlocks uncut in our woods, owing
to the want Of market for this splen-
did lumber, seems almost crime.
For inside work this lumber has no
superior. It makes the finest of floor
ing, owing to its hard surface when
seasoned, and to the fact that it does
not splinter. We are informed by ex-
perienced woodsmen, who however do
not explain the reason, that whenever
tht fir and spruce are logged off the
hemlock (Alaska Pine) whether for
want of shade or some other cause, at

Inaccuracies of Bryan.

In the interview between Col, Bleth-
en- of the Seattle Times and Col. w. j.
Bryan, in which the former sought to
convert the latter from his "anti-ex-
pansion" views, occurred the following
question and answer:
Mr. Blethen-But did not ratifca-
ton of that treaty convey absolute
title to the Philippine islands, and was
not the consideration ample, especial
ly after the payment of twenty millions
of money?
Colonel Bryan-That treaty convey
ed all the equitable rights which Spain
held to the Philippines, but amounted
only to quit-claim deed. The pay
ment of the money added nothing to
the character of the title.
1t is not true that the United States
paid Spain $2O,OOO,OOO for the Philip
pine islands, as Col. Blethen suggested.
The money consideration which
Spain received was, it was definitely
understood, to reimburse her for
moneys she had expended for certain
public works in the islands. Not dol
lar of it was for the territory. The
United States did not buy the Philip
pines they we're captured in war, and
by the laws of warefare sovereignty
passed from the vanquished Spanish
government to the victorious govern
ment of the United States.
That being true, the reply of Mr..
Bryan is as misleading as the question.
AT the time the treaty of Paris was
made Spain had no claim upon the
Philippines. She set up no claims.
She attempted to convey no rights OF
sovereignty. The feet and armies OF
the United States occupied the terri
tory. The full and complete sovereign
ty OF Spain over the islands, which she
had enjoyed for many years, had pass
ed to the United States by right of
conquest. BY the treaty Spain recog-
nized the sovereignty of the United
States but conveyed nothing. 1t may
be added that the United States was
in undisturbed possession, SO far as the
nations of the world were concerned.
Further there was not, and never has
been, any protest on the part of any
organized government of the Philip
pine inhabitants; but if there had
been, the right of sovereignty of the
United States would not have been
affected by that fact alone.
The war in the Philippines is due to
the fact that a portion of the inhabi-
tants are in revolt against the lawful
authority of the United States. This
governments is suppressing the rebellion
is merely fulfilling its obligations to
the peaceful inhabitants of the islands
to maintain order and protect their
lives and property.
The time for the consideration of
the Independence of the Philippine
people has not yet come. It will not
come until the revolt is put down and

The Severity of this Dis.
ease Increases Each
Winter.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tsrrh are felt all the year round, cold
and unpleasant weather aggravates
the disease and it is during the winter
season that its severest form is felt.
Each succeeding year seems to in
tensfy the disease, so that it gradually
fastens its hold upon the sufferer with
agasp that becomes firmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears as only cold
at first, and is hardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly. These symptoms can
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance of disease that will de-
velop in severity and stubbornness, ,and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment of sprays, washes, and
similar applications. Being a disease
Of the blood, only blood remedy can
nave the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S.
(Swifts Specific) is the only cure for
Catarrh, because it is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat OF all OBJ
stinste cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr., 7. A. Williams, leading mer-
chant Of Spartanburg, s, G., writes:
For four years I had nasal catarrh,
and though the case was q mild one at
arSt, it was not long until noticed that
it was gradually growing worse. OF
course | was under treatment Of first
class physicians, but their remedies
we're applied locally, and the Catarrh
