'Breathes there a man with soul SO
dead who would not be impressed with
the glory and majesty of the big trees
| of California, those silent, majestic,
| tree giants and tree monarchs of our
Pacific coast. All over the civilized
| world their fame has spread. These
grand old trees are indeed as UNIQUE
and magnificent in their way as the
wonderful canyons of the Colorado or
the Yosemite Valley. They are of \
vast age. For many hundreds of years
some of these tall sentineIs have stood
in all their grandeur, and yet all of
these world wonders are threatened
with extinction. Their loss would be
little less than national calamity.
These trees, which are all in Calaveras
county, California, are about to pass
into the hands of wealthy lumberman
who proposes to cut down every one
of these magnificent old forest giants
California, alarmed, has at last moved
in the matter, and so also has congfess.
joint resolution has been presented
in congress authorizing the secretary
of the interior to open negotiations
for the bonding of the Calaveras county
groves of sequoia gigantea for a gov
eminent park, but If this drags and fin

Eres the towering sequoias will be cut
up and in marketable lumber before
any congressional interference can
avail. The other legal alternative is
the passage of special act of the Cal
ifornia legislature at its next meeting,
in 1901, creating public park of the
Calavaras grove. The only hope for
either of these measures is that some
thing will intervene to prevent the
completion of a great sawmill in time
to begin operation upon the forest
Such a mill could be erected in a
couple Of months, and tree cutting could
begin even before the completion of
the mill. Snowfall in that part of the
Sierra would fortunately prevent win

Here is chance for one of our null
ti-millionaires to step in and by buying
the grove and securing it for all time
as a public park, honor his own name

| Porto Ricos interests are occupying
a large share of national attention to-
day, and congress has been toiling
of late in considering constitutional
law, party interests, and various other
| knotty points relative to the Porto
Rican tariff bill, which our dispatches

late yesterday afternoon by the rather
close vote of 172 to 161. The modified

of the American tariff and limits the
life of the measure toltwo years, Six
republicans voted with the opposition.
Extraordinary effort was made to get
out full vote as Is told in the dis
patches. There was considerable re-
publican jubilation over the success of
the bill. The bill bears the stamp of
temporary necessity and no doubt the
new votes obtained in order to pass it
We're given as a matter of political
expediency. AS it stands the new
measure cannot prove oppressive to the
islanders, coupled as it is with the balm
that most or all of the revenue obtain
ed will go to benefit the island and
help it to pay its own way for needed
improvements. Porto Rico will not sink
into state of innocuous desuetude
owing to the passage of the bill neither
will it emerge at once into position of
glaring prosperity. The island has
been too hard hit by the various dis
asters it has met with to recuperate
very fast, and Uncle Samuel will have
to go slow and will not endeavor to
work the islands for revenue only He
will rather treat this new protege in
paternal way and gradually the Island
may attain much needed prosperity.

FASHION NOTES.
Stylish Endorsement of Drawn.


The new chenille trimmings make an
interesting display, and are likely to
set their admirers to contemplating
purchases until the prices are learned.
Then it's another story, especially if
the shopper has been considering mod
ell dresses in which such garniture is
employed very freely as it often Is.
When these discouraging features have
turned one to searching for something
else, trick like that shown in the
trimming of this gown will be well
come discovery. This was done in black
chenille of a simple sort, and the paral-
lei rows were conventional enough, ex-
except that one band of the chenille
formed pair of rows by turning back
upon itself. The trick was unusual

and the world. The one exception was
little old woman, seated about the
middle of the car, who, in all probabill-
ty, had more cause for complaint than
they all. She was SO tiny that only the
tips of her shoes seemed to reach to the
floor ae she balanced herself on the eX-
IRENE edge Of the cushion. The 1rock
was of alpaca, once black, put now
tempered byage to a dingy green Inc
threadbare cape over her thin shoulders
was of the same nondescrlpt hue, ana
her black straw bonnet was OF genera
ton or two ago. But from under it's
ample brim beamed one of the cheeriest,
kndliest old faces in the world. Occa-
sionally when she glanced down at a
small bundle held tenderly be tween her
toil-hardened fingers, she seemed fairly
to radiate with contented eelf-compla-
cency. At such times she would smile
around the car, and, one by one, the
other passengers found themselves smil-
ing in return, though not one among
them could have given even guess as
| to why he or she was smiling.
| At Read street the car stopped and
another woman, tall, big, self-assertive
and comfortably arrayed in cloth and
| furs, got on and took seat by the first.
In spreading herself out to absorb all
the space avilable she fairly overcrowd-
ed her humble little neighbor, and a
jostle of her elbow as the car turned the
corner sent the cherished bundle spinn-
ing across the floor. Instantly dozen
hands stopped to pick it up, but for a
while it seemed as If the general desire
of each to be the first to grab 1T would
lead to its destruction. In the scramble
the wrapper bacem unpinned, and the
rescuer finally held up to view coarsely
knit infants jacket, white with a pink
border. The little old woman was CRATE
full, but anxious She spread the gar
ment over her lap and examined it over
and over to see whether it had received
the slightest injury. The big woman
forgot her pomp and self assertion and
locked even more interested than the
rest in the car.

at last. II am very sorry"

| SNAIL IN MINERAL RESOURCES.
| Porto Rico has no great mineral re-
sources to speak Of and in this field she
| cannot be a serious competitor to the
| states Of the union. Her great strength
! lies in her other we'll known fields of
good iron ore and copper. An Amer
lean company has already acquired all
the valuable iron mining claims and
will make some noise ABOUT Porto
Ricos iron, no doubt. shortly. Copper
is found in many different places and
its ores have been worked considerably.
A Boston company Is developing the
Reina del Cobre claim, near Corozal,
where copper was obtained thirty
years ago. But more extended explor-
atory work is necessary to determine
whether there are large deposits of
value. Lead has been found, but is
probably in small quantity. There are
placer deposits of gold in the valley Of
the Loquillo River in the northern part
of the island and in the Corozal noun
tains, but these have not yet been in
telligently prospected. Porto Rico has
no coal, but there are peat beds on the
north coast. Porto Rico has no first
class harbors. San Juan on the north
coast has dock facilities, but these are
limited. There is only 1876 miles Of rail-
road and this is made up of disconnect-
ed lines and there is but ITO miles of
macadam road. Horse trails make um
the rest of the travel and transport
tation routes and these are almost i'm
passible in the rainy season. Timber
and fuel are scarce. There are forest
tracts but the wood is4nostly hard and
too costly for mining purposes. These
are the main features pertaining to the
islands mining resources and facilities.

The spread of the street railway in
Massachusetts sine the introduction of
electric power is amazing, and yet the
progress in this direction in Connecti-
cut has been as great, comparatively
speaking. The Springfield Republican
says: Twenty years ago the total
length of main street car track through
out Massachusetts, was 222.5 miles, and
1T was all operated by horse. In 1889
there had been an increase to 574 miles,
of which all save sos miles was operated
by horse power. But now there. are
1,795.5 milee of main street railway track
in the State, of which all save AZ miles
is equipped with electric power. This
is mileage increase of over 200 per
cent in eleven years, and an increase of
nearly 700 per cent. in twenty years.
Almost as many miles of main track
were added to the street railway system
Of the State last year as were to be
found in the State altogether in 1880"

The legislators of Kentucky have con-
cluded that the best way to "get back"
upon the opposition which they have
met with is to make determined
fare upon the railroads of the State,
and this policy they have inaugurated
by the introduction of bills calculated
to- badly embarrass the transportation
companies with the understanding that
more and worse legislation along the
same line is intended until they have
glutted their revenge and carried their
populistic ideas to the extreme of ac-
ton. This sort of revenge will prove a
boomerang, as bad timee for the rail-
roads mean bad times for the thousands
of people employed by the roads.

BOB TILFORD
FROM KENTUCKY.

Mr.. Bob Tilford, the enterpris-
ing manager % the Greenville
Drug Company of this city, spent
a couple of pleasant weeks in his
old Kentucky home, Frankfort
While there he said "there was a
free street fair going on IN full
blast and the people it drew to the
city were thousands. It was the
biggest thing l ever saw. Ialk
about Greenville having a street
fair, why it was nothing hat a
side alley show compared with
this one at Frankfort. l will
wager my head that if Greenvllle
would get up a street fair for
this fall like the one at Frankfort
IT would pay a big profit to every
merchant IN the city. During the
four days of the Frankfort fair
10000 people were attracted to
the city, and while we could not
expect as many for the first one
here. still there would be a larger
crowd than expected and the next
would draw the 10000" ooh J!
it will do it." said Mr.. Tilford, II
saw it, and right now l will say to
YOU that | was told by the COM
mittee in charge of the Frankfort
fair that it cost $2400 and if the
merchants will go together and
get up one here the Greenville
Drug Company will be one OF "a
others that will put up the amount
necessary to give It,"
No doubt Mr.. Tilford is right
in the fact that the fair would
proye a drawing card to the city
and we hope the matter will be
discussed among the merchants OF
the city and that some agreement
he reached as to securing it.

One year ago the 18th of October
we took charge Of The Times and

every one will receive their paper

Greenville is very fortunate in
deed in possessing school super
intendent who hus always the best
interests of the schools at heart.

success, not only of the school but
! of the life of every student that
has and is now attending. For
fifteen years he has held this posi-
ton of responsibility, for in the
schoolroom lasting impressions for
good are bad, are made. But the
Professors work has not been
without reward. He is held in the
highest esteem by every citizen
and student Of Greenvillc.
The fires of last week have
demonstrated the efficiency of our
