Trees Restore Fertility.

Many of the worn-out farms of the
east may be restored to fertility By
growing forest trees upon them for
q series Of years, and many of them
are better suited for the production
OF timber than for any other pur-
pose. It is fortunately true that
worn-out farm lands throughout the
region once wooded will usually re-
vert to their previous condition if
protected from fire and stock. The
process II naturally slow, and the re-
suit may be materially hastened and
more valuable forest may be grown
by the judicious planting Of useful
species.

German Scientist Near One of

One of the strangest fishes in the
world has been discovered near the

few fine specimens of it during re-
cent fishing excursion which he took
near Butaritari.

The people of North Carolina are
not much given to building monu-
ments, but there seems to be q pretty
general feeling that 1t will be proper
to build a monument to the great
Nathaniel Macon. His grave, it is
said, has been long neglected, but the
site has been purchased by Warren
county and steps are being taken to
care for the resting place OF the great
man in a manner commensurate With
his worth and fame.

Ltfe Prolonged for Years.

Among the marine articulates life
is often prolonged for years. Some
of the larger crabs and few species
may live on to nearly two decades
before attaining their fullest growth.

This is the season when many q
young man settles for all the ques-
ton as to whether or not he will make
effort for acollege education. There has
been such broad discussion concerning
the value of a college education in
making money, and in some cases such
strong argument that it does not help
one make money, some young men are
in danger of being turned against such
course. To be sure, many men have
made great money fortunes without
having taken a course at college; but
these very men would have found more
in lite tor themselves and would haze
been worth moro to the world had they
been trained at college in their younger
years.
The money value of life is some
times the lowest valuo that could be
put upon it. While much is being
said In North Carolina about revival OF
education, We fear that young men are
not making any great sacrifice to go to
college. For young maa of real char
acter a college training is tho best thing
he can have aside from the claims OF
Christianity.

That was pleasing statement made
in the Raleigh papers Saturday that
the expenses OF the State prison haye
been reduced half. Mr.. Nathan
O'Berry, Of the board of directors, said
that the prison is being maintained
at about halt what it cost formerly.
The average monthly expense is now
about $500 against $4,000 per
month formerly. This is great saw
ing and the people of the State gener-
ally will be glad to learn OF this eco
nomical management.
The South's resources for wealth are
great and the more they are studied
the greater attraction is seen In this
great section. An article in the Man
ufacturers' Record which sets forth our
wonderful resources, closes with this
interesting paragraph:
"The estimated value of all farm
products of the United States for 1900
was $4,000, 100000. Should the demand
ever come, the South could sell at
present prices cotton enough to
reach this sum. Take the value of the
products of the South to be $l22, 800
600, as estimated, and it will approx
mate the value of nearly one-hsH OF
all the agricultural products of the
United States. There is only 20 per
cent. of the lands of the South improv-
ed. Concede that only SO per cent. is
susceptible OF being improved, then
the South could easily produce more
than So 1000 ,O00, 600 OF agricultural pro-
ducts on so per cent. of its territory
without employing any improved
methods OF cultivation or fertilization
aud employing ignorant labor"
