These resources are so large that they
look difficult to destroy, yet nothing
is so progressive as the shert-sighted-
ness of destruction. Years in the
life of a nation are as minutes in the
life of a man; yet in a generation. the
process of forest denudation has al
ready begun vitality to tell upon the
resources and the climate of many
sections.
Widespread as are their value the
destruction of the forests is even
more general in it's effect. Their
preservation is a need which is coun-
try wide The bill to bring about
that result is one which does not de-
pend upon party and should not de-
pend upon any special interest. 1t is
a matter practically for the whole
country, because a principle is in
volved in which every section is in
terested.
Following President Roosevelts
suggestion the Raleigh Chamber of
Commerce has arranged for today
meeting at which this question will
be discussed and at which a move
ment for general agitation and work
in favor of the legislation. will be
inaugurated. North Carolina, as
much as any of the South Atlantic
States. is interested deeply. Let this
State speak out through representa-
Other States will join in. The fight
against a penny-wise speaker and the
retarding effects Of interests seeking
legislation for their own ends will be
a long one, but it will end in victory
if the people shall recognize actively
what everyone comedies passively to
be the truth. What is wanted now is
concerted effort and persistent agita-

HAD TO HIDE IT

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and KEY
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
SO good for them. It's usu-
ally the Iother way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps
that's why they like it SO
much-they know it makes
them feel good.

IL 1t Isn't Stirred Up, it Ought to Be.
Greensboro Record.
The esteemed Charlotte Observer
has this to say:
"The Greensboro Record speaks
of Charlotte being stirred up
over an unnamed mans rascality.
In this our contemporary is mis-
taken, for this city is no longer
so small that it gets stirred up.
Sections of it may occasionally
become excited but not the town
as a whole: it's too big.
We thought better of you, brother.
If there is anything that justifies be-
ing Stirred up" it is a thing like this
1t would be to the credit of any town
or city no matter its size to SO stir
it up that the offender might be
caught and punished. We hope a too
frequent occurrence of such things has
noe blunted Charlotte's sensibilities.

cEoRclA's CROP THE SHORTEST
ony About one-HaIf the Yield Last
Year.

According to the August crop report
given out by the state department of
agriculture and made mp from data filed
by nearly 1000 correspondents in all
parts of the state on an average date of
20, there has been considerable falling
off in the average of most of the Geor-
gia crops Toe most interesting feat
ure of the report is the showing made
with regard to cotton. Georgia's crop
last year was more than 2, 100000 bales.
The average Georgia cotton crop fer
the last five years is l, 523, 900 bales.
The reports this year show that the
crop will be slightly less than IS per
cent of the average, or about 1850, 900
bales. This is considered a remark
able falling ffeven with the adverse
weather conditions which have pre-
vailed. In other words, the Georgia
cotton crop this year as compared with
that Of 1904, is cut just about half in
two.

the market put on wings when the re-

this decline will only be for short
