Destruction in Western North
Carolina.

Written for the News and Observer.
The Appalachian National Park move
ment gave a great impetus to the pur-
chase of timber land in Western North
Carolina. The timeber men were SO
envious of Uncle Sam that they flew
at the timber with greed; like a hungry
wolf leaping upon it's prey. Some OF
them were in such haste that they paid
the value of The land, when previously
they had bought it for q song. But this
only makes Our threatened forest de-
struction all the more appalling, and
leaves it incumbent on the Legislature
to guard our interest at every point.
Five years ago a lumber plant was
established in a large pine forest in
Mitchell county. Some of the timber
was bought, without the land, at the low
rate of one dollar per acre. The laps of
the fallen trees got dry in autumn, and
forest fires breaking out from the tram
way engines, nave given the once YER
dant country a look of DISSOLUTION.
When this body of timber is all cut,
the tram-ways will be removed; the peo-
pie OF that region will be without re-
sources or employment, whereof before,
the timber was a capital in their hands
that would have given them employment
and support for many years.
No man worthy to be called "North
Carolinian' will purposely destroy the
future of his country for present gain;
no legislator worthy the honor he bears
will cast his vote in any way to facilitate
the further of our forests.
The soil on the mountain sides is not
Ger ten feet deep at the deepest. Some
fields have lost one foot of soil, an aver
age, in the last two years. At this rate,
twenty years will leave only the bare
rocks.
The mountains are clothed in trees and
crowned with laurels; their understands
are tucked with ferns and galaX; their
bOsonls are dccked with rhOdodendrons,
and rivers trinkling from their feet,
carry their music and poetry through
smiling ballies to the great ocean, why
allow this bi~-furcated f~ungacide called
timber men to cover them with bitter
rot?

Details of the explosion were obtained
when the Massachusetts arrived here to-
day. The explosion occurred in the star
board after-eighth-inch turret. shortly
before noon yesterday. and was due to
the accidental discharge of a percussion
primer. while the brccch Of the gun was
open. The full charge exploded in the
turret and killed or injured all the crew
of the gun, numbering nine men. En-
sign Ward K. Workman, who was in

Magnificent discipline was eminently
shown by the officers and crew of the

preventing the charge in the other eight

would take a risk on that side. We have
never vet seen a market crumbls AVA
without q reaction. This market will
not. Those who took profits yesterday
can replace their cotton ten Or fifteen
points lower. On q further break tuy
more and let the cotton 70 on the first

for sale at this price. Nine csats n

on such an advance as this weeks :
the part of wisdom. But VIC would ouy

Cotton letter

Especial to News and Observer)
New York. Jan. 17.-That the profit
taking of yesterday would finally bring
about a setback would be inevitable. May
and March sold two points lower than
yesterday and there was not the support
that might have been expected. We can
not but believe that on a break Mon
day morning cotton will be a purchase.
On the break q few weeks ago May de-
clined twenty-five points and then re-
acted twenty points in no time. From
the action Of the market this morning,
VIC look for a further setback. May
bought around $40 should be a compar-
ativeIy safe purchase. If the opening

New York, Jan. 17.-Liverpool did not
respond fully to our reaction of yestcr-
Cay. This is another demonstration of
the fact that foreign spinners are anxious
to buy American cotton. Our market
ruled dull during the two hours trad
ing, opening about the same level as
yesterday and closing at a slight ad-
vance. 1t was again noticeable today
that the buying was by very strong par
ties. We believe that these same parties
are in the market with a view to ad-
vancing it materially.

The tendency of the market was towards
c&siness under liquidation Of long in

GENTS. The Liverpool market closed at
a net decline of 3 points, which was about
twice the decline required to match the
closing of New York market yesterday.
Early estimates pointed to receipts of So
geo bales, against %, 200 last year, while
the weather MAJ showed too much rain
in important parts of the cotton belt
for a general free movement. Selling in
local market was checked by strong ac-
counts from Alexandria with other cables
reporting II per cent. dividends by some
Of the Egyptian cotton mills. Commits
