AN IMMENSE POWER.

In a recent article on the subject of forest preservation, The New York Times says, "the undeveloped water power of the streams rising in the Southern Appalachian mountains Is equal to 100000 horse power" This million of undeve1oped power is in danger because of the destruction of the forests of that great mountain region. Prof. N. s .shaler, an eminent author ity on such matters. who has studied and written much on the subject, says that"the manufacturing future of the country depends upon water power transmitted by electricity, and that, in turn, depends upon the preservation of the forests"
 Here is a man who is an authority on such subjects who gives vital reason why Congress should take the neces- sary steps to preserve the forests of the immense region which is the foun- tain head of so many streams which flow into the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico ,and which in the future are to supply much of the power for use in alll the industries in this section of the Unit ed States. The Times may possibly un- der-estImats the power of those streams, but even if that estimate Is practically correct, there can be no doubt that Prof. Shaler speaks truly when he says that the future of manufacturing de- bends on electrically transmitted power from the water of the mountain streams The days of steam must end in the not distant future. because coal and wood will be gone. Water power itself can only be used at the place where 1t is developed, but that same power can develop electric power which can be transmitted anywhere. Congressman from the South and Southeast should spare no efforts to ensure the preservation of the Appala- chian forests.

 Meridian Stan Special to The Times
 The Meridian Star will stay editorial
 If we write on the tablets of our friends whose deaths occurred in the cyclone of Friday and extend profound sympathies to those who lost so much of their property during those minutes of awful distress, there is nothing very serious before us in making Meridian one of the greatest cities in the South. eosntng ws nSe fms and indi1idaRsls of Ss per haps a million dollars, but such loss as that is no bar to our growth. Many greater and are the better for the loss. We have only to look to Johnstown arisen now and grander since hundreds death in the torrent of water we have the example of our noble South ern sister city, Galveston, utterly de- tFGysd s n Ss w@s raogg Stg s5d o5 0S is Jacksonville, never so advanta geously situated as Meridian in surrounded natural resources, recovered in marvel- Justified in looking as they do to the future. They are proud of the many citizens who responded yesterday to Within a few minutes oyer $7 ,000 cash was subscribed. and within an hour the relief committee was seeking those who were in distress There will be no great amount of suffering, althouhg many deserving help will feel the cruel pangs of distress until they have re- lowered the comforts of their homes. But nobody will actually suffer. there will be no suspension of activities longer than necessary to make repairs to damaaed factor les. and we look for ward confidently to new and handsome blocks taking the place of the de- stroyed Meyer Neville Hardware Com pany and Tom Lyle Company, the two

 Meridian has her great opportunity inst at hand. We need only to put our shoulders to the wheel All oppo- sition to growth and greatness must give way before community unity and we believe no city in the South has a more patriotic or more faithful citizen shin Those who are stricken in heart, we bow in sorrow with them. and to ali who have sustained losses to their property interests we extend our pro- FoTnd sympathies, but as an all-w.se providence never directs anythi~ g wrongfuIly but for the better, we urge every man woman and child to get ogether and let us rebuild the de- stroyed district and make It liner than ever before.

 The English public will probably await with interest the result of the action of John Morley, Secretary of State for India, who has just indicated his purpose to recognize the supremacy of the cIvil government In matters re- Iating to the conduct of affairs in In- dia, even Including military affairs. The clash between Lord CurZon and General Lord Kitchener over exactly this point was decided by the Baifour ministry in favor of the latter. Mir. Morley's purpose may bring about a resignation of Lord Kitchener, just as Mir. Bal four's decision brought about the resig- nation of Lord Curzon, and just how the English people will receive this turning down of one of their great military heroes is mathematical

FoREsfRY IN ALABAMA.

The outlook for forestry in all parts Of the South brightens every day. This is shown by the readiness of lumber men to consider the possibility of hand ling their lands with a view to future crops. and of the farmers to grow trees on the poorer portions of their land.
 MT. Alfred Gaskill, of the Forest Ser vice has recently been in Alabama. where he spoke to commercial bodies and to gatherings of farmers. Not withstanding the newness Of this sub ject to large proportion of those who listened to him. 1t was evident that many were interested. and a con. siderable number declared their inten- tien to consider or actually put Into effect the recommendations that he made.

 of which not a word has reached the public. The books in which the re- ports are made arS kept under lock

 enough to make the public stand .aghast at the situation.

Ths Careless Grocer
Blundered, and Great Good Came of It

A careless grocer left the wrong package at a Michigan home one day and thereby brought a great blessing to the household.
 Two years ago I was a sufferer from stomach trouble so acute that the effort to digest ordinary food gave me great pain, and brought on q condition of such extreme nervousness that l could not be left alone. I thought I should oetrainly become Insane. { was so reduced in flesh that was little bet ter than living skeleton. The doctors failed to give me relief and despaired of recovery.
 One day our groceryman left a pack age of Grape-Nuts food by mistake, so tried a dish for dinner. I was sur prlsed to find that 1t satisfied my appe- tite and gave me no distress whatever. The next meal ate of it again, and to be brief, have lived for the past year almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. It has proved to be a most healthy and appetizing food, perfectly adapted to the requirements of my system,
 Tt is not only easily dfgested and assimilated itself, but find that since I have been using 1t I am able to eat anything else my appetite fancies, without trouble from indigestion. The stomach trouble and nervousness have left me, have regained my plumpness and my views of life are no longer de- spondent and gloomy. Other members of my family. especially my husband, (whose old enemy, the 'heart-burn'' has been vanquished) have also derived great benefit from the use of Grape Nuts food and we think no morning meal complete without it."

It is strange how far lawmakers, in trying to abate known evils. will suffer themselves carried. In the leg islature of Virginia a bill has been in- troducsd to regulate tho running of au- tomobiles. It contains various provis- ions and then goes on to declare that if any driver violates any of these pro- visions in the presence of any person, such person, whether he be an officer or not, may without warrant, lawfully arrest such owner or driver and con- vey him to the nearest magistrate hay ing jurisdiction of such offence" The Richmond Times-Dispatch we'll says that such a law would be menace to personal liberty and a bid for hold ups"

The Troy Messenger proposes at an early date to bring out special issue showing what fine town the metropo- lis of Pike county is. Times changes are marvellous and we wish that The Messenger could produce a picture of the olden time and then contrast it with the up-to-date picture of Troy. It would tell unmistakably a story of progress and push. and of the work of live and capable men.
