We are cutting our timber at the rate
Of about 40 900. 900. 900 feet a year, and
il the same average Is continued III
supply win last about sixty years.
We regret Mr.. Curtis's article does
not give information concerning North
Carolina. But few states are so we'll
supplied with extensive forests and
fine, valuable lumber as this state. We
are sure that one-third of the state is
still in virgin timber. But the north
has found this out. and it's people are
buying for small money vast tracts of
forests. The people at home are not at
all careful in preserving their trees.
They sell quickly at low figures and for
temporary purposes. Mr.. Curtis writes:
Owing to the activity of h Ameri-
can Forestry Association the govern
ment has at last ~inaug1rated a syste-
matte forestry policy. Sustained by
public sentiment, has passed
laws to protect the forest reserves by
providing what amounts to a self-Sup-
porting administration. BY this depar-
ture the permanent interests of COM
munitieS dependent upon the forests are
protected, enormous waste that has
been going on for nan years Is pre-
vented and the commercial supply of
timber is increased. There has been
considerable apprehension of a timber
famine"
The thing greatly desirable in North
Carolina is for the people to hold on to
their woode lands. to refuse to fool
away valuable timber. and to go to
work in manufacturing the fin woods
| into vehicles, furniture. etc. Not only is
the waste of Staying trees going on in
| u own vast country. but Europe IS
| suffering much. Mr.. Curtis says.

warning at the astonishing rate al

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

Persons have been known TO
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTS emulsion.
1t is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce pro-
duces the pound; it seems to
start the digestive machinery
going properly, SO that the
patient is able to digest and
absorb his ordinaryfood, which
he could not do before, and
that is the way the gain is made.
A certain amount of flesh; IS
necessary for health; if you
have not got it you can geti+
by taking SCOTS Emulsion.
You will find it just as use
full in summer as in winter, and
if you are thriving upon it don't
stop because the weather is
| warm.
II you have not tried it, send for free sample

The attitude of republicans in the leg
islature in some particulars shows i'm
provement. They are interested in
watching the democrats lest they injure
he beloved state and bring reproach
upon themselves thereby. They are
specially interested in education. It is
never too late to mend. according to
the old adage. The democratic repre-
sentative from Iredell. Mr.. Watts. Is re-
ported as saying by the News and OBJ
server, in the house. and 1T was we'll,
pointedly taken:
MIR. Watts said he was very glad to
see the party taking sue keen interest
in the welfare Of the state in general,
and in the education of her children IN
particular, and he congratulated the
party upon its manifest improvement.
When Mr.. Ebbs protested against at
tacks upon the republican party, Mr..
Watts reminded him that he had not
assailed the republicans. but had offer
ed his congratulations upon their hav-
ing emerged from the condition they
were formerly in, of being too busy
filling their own pockets to take any
notice Of my other matters. education

That h twentieth century will be
marked with great discoveries and i'm
provements seems to be the spirit OF
human prophecy. The great Edison
does not particularize but he expresses
confidence in many important discove-
ries and Inventions. By the way. the
London editor now in this country, Mr..
Alfred HarmSworth, says that Edison
Of all Americans is the best known man
in Europe. It is stated that Professor
NJ. I. Pupin. of Columbia university.
New York, has worked out a plan by
which ocean telephony can become
an accomplished fact. He is reported
as having invented an apparatus which
is said by experts to mark as great an
advance in the transmission Of mes
sages through the medium of electricity
as was scored by the Introduction of
h first telephone. AS yet the cable
corporations are mum as to the sup
posed invention OF the professor, but it
is known that the Bell Telephone Con
pany is confident that his invention can
be satisfactorily used in sending by
OdUlC O1 Ill SApdiiulLS SCdlc. All dC-
count says of Professor Pupin's inven-
ton that it consists principally of a sys-
tenn of Induction coils placed in such
a as to balance the elements Of
impedance against each other so that
their effect will be neutralized. Hith-
erto the chief obstacle to telephoning
or telegraphing long distances has been
the difficulty of transmitting electrical
impulses. This impeachment Professor
Pupin claims to have overcome.
