THE FOREST CONGRESS.

The subject of the preservation Of
the forests of the country is attract
ing general attention, and efforts are
Oh foot to that end. The American
Forest Congress is TO meet in Wash
ington early next year and the sub
jecs OF forestry will be considered,
not alone as a scientific department.,
but also in relation to those indus
tries that rely on the timber lands
for their raw material. The Kansas
City Times, in speaking OF this meet
ing, says the country is embarking
on a great scheme of irrigation,
through which millions OF acres OF
now unproductive soil are to be made
TO blossom with grain and fruit; but
this vast enterprise is dependent on
the endurance OF the water supply,
and the latter is menaced by the
ruthless removal of the forests.
Presidential Roosevelt has called
special attention to this subject many
times. 1t is believed that he will take
an active and personal interestin the
proceedings OF the forestry congress
and that restrictive measures will be
adopted.

IMMIGRATION FOR THE SOUTH

In conference, held in Richmond |
on the 10Th inst, between the State
Board of Agriculture and representa-
tives of the Southern Railway, Tor
she purpose of discussing ways and
means OF bringing into the South de-
sirable immigration from the Old
World to supply the deficiency IN
labor existing in the Southern States,
the concensus of opinion seemed to
be in favor of securing immigrants
from among those already establish
ed in America, rather than from the
alien and restless population OF for
eign countries brought directly to
this country. No definite action was
taken, but there is eminent wisdom
Ia the attitude OF those who attended
the conference.
There ought to be some guarantee
OF the desirability and good character
OF men brought into any country, OF
section OF country. who come with
she intention OF becoming permanent
citizens, and while the rick is great 10
either case, there are at least some
advantages in the proposed plan
which give it a decided preference
over promiscuous immigration from
foreign countries OF persons into
whose previous record for good char
acter no possible investigation can
be had. The question OF importing
large numbers of laborers into o
community presents many draw
backs under any circumstances, but
we doubt not that If large numbers
of foreign immigrants were imported
directly TO the South, the people here
would find that it would have been
better TO have borne the ills they
have than to fly 80 those they knew
not of.
OF course, something must be done
The former dependence of the South
so supply its field, it's factory and Its
mine labor has become utterly shift
less and unreliable, and II present
conditions continue, utter stagna-
tiOn in business will result. Compe-
tent labor must be secured from some
source, but God forbid that we should
overflow the South with undesirable
and criminal classes, such asfrequent
some other sections of this country,
who, so far from alternating present
conditions, will give the Southern
people social problems to solve, in
comparison with which the present
racial question is mere skirmish.

JUNIOR CLASS MAY RETURN.
Students Withdrawal at Blaeksburg
Due to q Misunderstanding.


At Blacksburg it developed that the
junior class, which left college because OF
the faeulty's failure to reinstate Cadet
Coulter, expelled for aiding in hanging in
effigy the class commandant, did so
through Misunderstanding.
Forty members OF the junior class, all
that have not left Blscksburg, held a
meeting, and it was ascertained that
they had misunderstood the wishes of
the faculty. The class had demanded
that Coulter be reinstated, otherwise
they would leave. They understood
that the faculty had demanded that
they should dissvOw this action and
pledge themselves never to take such a
stand again, whereas the faculty only
asked that the class should substitute
for It courteous petition for new
trial for Coulter.
Under these circumstances Superinten-
dent McBryde stated that while the
junior class no longer existed, each stu
dent who had been a member and had
left college could submit to the faculty in
writing q statement that ne had acted
under q Misunderstanding. He could
then make application for readmission.
