THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
The South Should Make Appropriate
Exhibits.

The South Should Make Appropriate
Exhibits.
At meeting Of Southeastern Rail-
way Land and Industrial Agents AS
socIation, an organization composed of
the heads of the Land, Industrial and
immigration Departments of the rail-
ways south of the Potomac and Ohio
Rivers, and east of the Mississippi
hiver, held at Miami, Florida, March
6, 1908, the following resolution was
adopted:
"Resolved, That appreciating the
"great value that an exhibition of the
"products Of the several States within
"the territory of this Association at
"the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
Ito be held at st. Louis, in 1904, would
"be in inducing immigration to those
Estates, we would earnestly urge upon
"the people of those States the impor-
"tance of early and active effort to Sc
"cure such exhibition by legislative
appropriation, and would suggest
"that such effort be made through
boards of Trade and other local or
"ganizations. In this effort we pledge
"our earnest support and cooperation" :"
The objects of this Association, and
all the efforts of its members, being to
develop and build up the States within
our territory by increase of population
and industrial enterprise, we especially
realize how much good can be accom-
plished in this direction by an exhibit
tion of the projects of the several
States at the st. Louis Exposition,
where it would attract the favorable
attention Of hundreds of thousands of
people of the populous Northern States
from which we must hope to secure
immigration. 1t is for this reason that
we urge upon the people of the several
States within our territory, who should
be equally interested with Us in our
work, the Importance of taking active
and immediate steps toward creating
popular sentiment that will demand Of
the Legislatures Of the several States
that they shall make sufficient appro-
pTation to defray the expense of max
ing such exhibits as will reflect credit
upon the States making them. All
classes of citizens should be interested
in this movement, for it is for the ben
eft of all, and we would suggest that
action be taken through Boards of
Trade, Chambers of Commerce, City
Councils, County Commissioners,
Farmers Clubs, State and County Ag-
ricuItural and Horticultural Societies,
and other organizations representing
the people. The time is short in which
to make preparation work should be-
gin Immediately and be continued un-
til the object is achieved.

FOREST TREES.
Our Correspondent Sees Trouble
Ahead for the Southland.

| Watts, >. e., May IL, lS3
| Editor Press and Banner:
| People are becoming alarmed at the VIC
| lence and frequency OF the hail and wind
storms which visit our Southern country
The long drouths In Summer 80 nara on
| growing crops, are also cause OF uneasiness
Those who have read and thought on the
subject know that all are caused by the ter
rible destruction OF our forest trees. III our
lawmakers have the good OF thelr country
AT heart they will stop this destruction and
require the reforesting OF all waste places.
There are other sources from which oil mills
and cotton mills should draw their running
these sources and quit using so much wood.
1t would cost something OF course, prooaoly
large amounts of money. but 1t would be for
the q nal good of our people at large.
There is no sense nor stateRmanship In
waiting till great trouble comes when 1t can
be foreseen and the cause removed.

knowing that we have plenty of good COM

We are like Editor Wilson in thinking that
our legislators should think more about the
needs Of our country and less about monu.

monuments In the hearts Of our people and
who themselves, II alive would spend the
money for the good of the living.
1.-THE twenty thousand dollars appropriat-
ed by the Legislature for Hampton's monu'
ment had been spent in reioresting unpro-
ductive land in this State would have done
wonderful amount Of good TO all our people.
Will you Editors, who reach so many peo-
pie and who have such wide influence use
that influence to attract attention TO this sub
ject? 1 feel sure that you will and II so
these thoughts will not be wasted In the
writing. "Ino."

We may know how to talk to God,
but we may not know how to let God
talk to us. Our conversation with
God is usually a monologue, because
we will not practice the self-denial
of quieting the noisy voices of our
own proud spirits in order that We
may hear Gods voice speaking to us
in the stiffness.
