The question of personal priv
ilege is one that may come be-
fore the observant mind each day
in the year. A few years ago
the writer called attention to the
depredations committed upon the
farmers woodland by the
thoughtless people digging ma
tive ginseng and other medical
herbs, which served in a measure
to suppress this kind of tresspass
upon the land owners. How
ever, the advocacy of this fact
does not in a measure destroy
the idea among some, that many
things not their own is theirs if
they trouble themselves to take
it. AS example men of good
standing will go on our creek
lands and haul away gravel and
convert it to their own use, with
out so much as asking for it.
Now a thing not worth asking
for, and yet is beneficial to us,
certainly should have a value in
some way. How much differ
ence is there between the man
who goes into your fenced up
field and hauls away a load of
your soil, than the one who goes
on your outside land and hauls
away a load of gravel? If the
former is tresSpaSS and open
stealing, what is the last?
