says:
Vast tracts of timber. logging camps

of lumber that find ready market AT good

while along the line have sprung up
within the year thrifty villages and in
coTporated towns whe-e money seems
PLENTIFUL and employment abundant at
gooo wages No able-bodied man who
wants work need be idle.
Certain valuable timber is more or less
localized. From Denick. in Greenbrier
County to near Glover Lick, in Pocahon-
tas. q distance of about thirty-five miles,
the white oak seems to abound in greater
quantities than other woods. 1t is
found low on the mountain slopes, while
on higher ground in the same locality
the red oak is found in abundance. There
also abounds here and as far up as Cass
chestnut and chestnut oak with a lib
sral mixture of Eastwood. From Cass
up the river to Durbin the higher alti-
tudes are encountered with hemlock in
great abundance and with spruce still
higher. Think of a spruce forest stretch
ing in length forty-five miles and in av-
erage breadth seven miles and standing
so dense that it appears a vast mass of

by manifestations quite similar to those
accompanying the peopling of the West.

earlier stages and the experiences or
earlier migrants to the South. Mr.. NJ. v.
Richards of the Southern Railway. who
has been active in cultivating Southern
immigration is quoted in this weeks is
sue Of The Manufacturers Record as fol-
lows:
Pioneers they certainly were, and very
generally in the same financial condition
of the pioneers who made possible the
creation of the mighty West. Some of
them succeeded and some failed, but back
in the North and West whence they
came the failures were promptly wide
ly heralded while not so much was heard
about the successes. After While,
though. the story of the men who had
come South, often with no capital but
brains and Drawn, was told at home, at
first with some scepticlsm, since there
was still a dissemination to believe that
any good could come out Of the South
But now, these reports are being every
where accepted. Men are saying If John
Doe could go South and succeed. surely
we can do So But 1t is not alone farm
ers who are moving this way in great
numbers. Timber buyers, lumber opera
tors. pleasure seekers who have COM
petence and who want now TO make a
permanent home in section having such
a genial climate as that of much OF the

made and proved against him.
Until about a year ago the relations
between Postmaster Buckley and Mr..
Hughes were of the most cordial nature.
About this time Republican politics in
Alabama became active and in order to
hold political connections, pledges and
promises were made by certain Republic
cans. The money order clerkship at the
Montgomery Postoffice is regarded as
good position, and Mr.. Hughes's place
was traded II Postmaster Buckley is
successful in having Mr.. Hughes removed

The Inspector came here to examine into
the charges and counter charges of the
postmaster and Mr.. Hughes and did not
examine the books and accounts of the
latter. as his accounts were not ques-
toned. One of the charges against Mr.
Hughes is that three years ago he, failed

made"
Mr.. Hughes yesterday positively de-
