The lumber firm E. P. Burton & &C.,
of Charleston. S. c. has asked for TIE
help of the bureau of forestry in mai
aging $4,000 acres of pine forest about
80 miles northwest of Charleston, on the
Cooper river, The comDany's mills have
a capacity of 2OO00.00O board feet year,
and the company wishes to know, among
other things. whether the yearly increase
in growth of its present forest is sufti-
cient to supply it's mills. If it should
be found not to be sufficient. the COM
pany desires to know how many addi-
tional acres are required to make it SO.
A party under F. E. Olmstead has been
sent to the field by the bureau to col
lect the figures and make the calcula-
tons necessary for the working plan
that will answer the company's in
quiries. The forest consists mainly OF
loblolly, with some longleaf and spruce
pine. 1t contains also some large swamps
with heavy stands of cypress, gum and
oaks. Logging is done by steam skid
ders. The logs are transported by rail-
road to Cooper river and RATED to
Charleston The working plan will in
clude an estimate Of the present stand
and what it is producing yearly: an
estimate of the number of additional
acres necessary to afford the mill a sus-
tanned supply; system of protection
from fire: and certain silvicuItural work
connected with the study of the growth
of trees under different conditions. The
party will be occupied during Deem
Der January and February. Owing &c
the rapid growth of the pines in the
virgin forest and the ease with which
natural reproduction is obtained, the
opportunity is exceptionally favorable
for the application of practical forestry

appeared in the role of a benefactress to-
day when she extended a forgiving hand
to 4 young man accused of having appro-
priated about $500 from the Ironclad Man
ufacturing company, of which Mrs. Sea
man is the principal directress
The young man was brought into court
under a charge of embezzlenent. Mrs.
Seaman was an interested spectator of the
court proceedings. When the prisoner
walked up to the bar she followed him
and shook his hand warmly They both
were smiling and chatted merrily. 1t Is
believed that when the case comes up the
charge will be withdrawn, as it is thought,
on account of the prisoners long connec-
ton with the company. Mrs Seaman Will
not press the complaint.

A PULL ALL TOGETHER.

If the advocates and friends of the
post check system of transmitting mon
ey through the mails make a united eff
fort. there seems to be no good reason
why the measure cannot be put through
congress during the present session.
The endorsement of the plan which
appears in the annual report of the
postmaster general should and proba-
bly, will go long way in winning the
support of those persons who have not
looked into the merits of. the proposition.
The following is taken from the an
nual report of Postmaster General
Payne for 1902:
Millions of our people live more or
less remote from any postoffice, and a
very large proportion of them are not
able to buy money orders or bank drafts
without great inconvenience. 1t is not
unreasonable to expect from the govern
ment that it will provide an easy. con-
venient. and safe method to transmit
small sums, say. 81 or less in amount
without putting the sender to the incon-
venience and expense which now OBJ
tains in the purchase of a draft or post
office money order.
i urge upon congress the Importance
of passing some law, so that our people
may have the advantage of it at as early
date as possible. Hundreds of thou
sands of letters carrying small amounts
in silver or postage stamps are trans
mitted every year through the mails.
These letters are a constant temptation
TO those handling them, as it is easy to
identify letters inclosing currency.
With the extension of the rural free
delivery service to the remote parts OF
the country, the use of postal checks
would go far to provide the relief SC
urgently demanded as it would conven-
iently serve those sections of the couu-
try not heretofore covered by or ad-
jacent 10 money order offices or the
banks of the country"
