ply from forest destruction Is equally
as great. Large areas in the Southern
Appalachian and White Mountain
Ranges should be created into forest
reserves.
For Eastern Forest Reserves.
In a speech at Raleigh, N. c., on
October goth, last, resident Roosevelt,
said: at is the upper attitudes OF the
Iorested mountains that are most Yalu7
able to the nation as whole, especially
because of their effects upon the water
supply. Neither state or nation can al
ford to turn these mountains over TO
the unrestrained greed OF those who
would exploit them at the expense Oh
the future. We cannot afford to wait
longer before assuming control in the
interests of the public, of these forests;
for if we do waf, the vested interests
of private parties in them may be-
come so strongly inTenched that IT
may be a most expensive task to GUST
them. If the eastern states are wise,
then from the Bay OF Fundy to the
Gulf we will see. within the next few
years a policy set on foot similar 10
that so fortunately carried out in the
high Sierras of the west by the Ma
ional government. AL the higher APP
palachians should be reserved. Such
reserves would be paying investment,
not only in protection to many inter
ests, but in dollars and cents to the
government. The Importance to the
southern people of protecting the south
ern mountain forests is obvious. These
forests are the best defense against the
floods which, in the recent past, have,
during a single twelve months, destroy
ed property officially valued at nearly
twice that it would cost to buy the
Southern Appalachian Reserve"

Dual Telephone Service.

No set of business men who have
ever had personal experience with
dual telephone service will fail to
condemn the same. The telephone
promoter Is still busily engaged in
the work of infiicting the public
with duplicate telephone service.
The methods adopted by these pro-
motcrs vary and are made To fit
such conditions as are found IN dif-
ferent localities. They make every
effort To work up sentiment against
the original company, but no mat
ter what scheme they finally adopt,
and no matter how much they
mask it, the proposition To work
the public" is the one to which
they direct their best attention; and
unless they succeed along this line
their failure is complete and prompt.
The telephone promoter is the
only man who has any money to
his credit in the so-called indie
pendent telephone field. " Lo-
cal stockholders who have been let
in (and who are always let in) I,
carry the bag until it becomes
empty.
In the territory of the Cumber-
berland Telephone Il Telegraph
Company, the telephone promoter
has not been permitted to rest on a
bed Of roses. He has been made to
earn whatever he got, and for the
most part, be has COTTON very little.
The Cumberland Company has So
thoroughly cove ed the field that il
is hard for the promoter to get a
responsive hearing from the busi-
ness public. The Cumberland Com
panys treatment of the public is
considerate and its rates are fair and
equitable. Its policy is to make
friends Of its customers. The fact
that there are nearly one thousand
stockholders scattered over the
States Of Indiana, Tennessee, ILL
nois, Kentucky, Mississippi and
Louisiana, adds strength and solid
ity TO the situation. The furthul
fact that a great many of the man
ayers and other employees of the
company are stockholders, insures
to our patrons a treatment and ser

The newspaper men more than
any other class in the South, regret
to see the thourands of dollars flow
ing every year into the Golfers of
Montgomery, Ward Il Co., Sears,
Roebuck & Co., and other mail or
der houses. 1t drains the country
of thousands of dollars every year
that ought to be kept at home. The
secret of their success is using the
country weekly. The customers
they are after and the customers
they get are your customers, and
while you are selling them meat and

are getting their cash for other
things you have in your house and
could afford to sell as cheap, but
you don't tell them about it. The

The country weeklies of the South

From a conversation with Mr..
Thomas the Clarion-Ledger is of the
opinion that he will decide to be-
come a candidate for Governor, and
will not be surprised if the an
nouncement is made before the adj
journment of the legislature. He
is carefully weighing the question,
is discussing it with friends from
various sections, and having receiv-
ed the strongest solicitations to en-
ter the race. it is hardly probable
that he will turn a deaf ear to their
appeals, 50 this paper almost feels
warranted in saying that Speaker
Thomas may be considered already
in the race.-Clarion-Ledger

There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken our and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

In some of the Cumberland 5
cities-Evansvilie, Indiana, for in
stance-the business men and the
newspapers have publicly and re-
peatedly announced that they would
not submit to the inconvenience and
necessary cost of dual service. 1t
is the effort of the Cum berland peo-
pie to serve the public at every point
so as to bring about this same logical
sentiment. That ii has accomplish
ed this same result in large degree
is evident when you look over the
situation. In no place has an op-
position company been able to get
the better of the Cumberland. Some
towns and cities, well known to ouI
