2,OOO,0OO,O0o TREES.
Mighty Forests Will Be Planted to
Check Spring Floods.


Check Spring Floods.
Two billion trees will be planted
to relieve Western Pennsylvania of
theannual inundations which destroy
millions Of dollars worth Of pr property
in Pittsburg and other cities. The
plan to plant the trees is backed by
the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce,
which is soliciting aid from the state
and national governments. The De
partment Of Agriculture has already
secured an appropriation of S25,OOC
to begin the project.
The plan of the Chamber Of Com
merce is to plant trees on the water
sheds at the headwaters of the Mon
ongahela and Allegheny rivers, which
will appropriate large quantities of
water and prevent sudden thaws Of
vast extents of snow. The combined
basins Of the two rivers comprehend
10000 square miles in Western.Penn-
sylvania, West Virginia, Western
New York and Maryland. Experts
declare that little relief would be re-
ceived from the extensive forests be-
fore Is years.
Each year the damage to nafufac-
turing plants and cities in Western
PENNSYLVANIA amounts to between
SIS, 5000 and $4,000, 900. 1t is es-
timated that the forest would pay for
itself within about ten years after it
began to prevent floods. The loss to
working people is not estimated in
the above amount.

superintendent, these officers do not
yet get enough to enable them to
give their undivided time and
thought to their work. The duties
of a county superintendent are some
thing more than signing pay war
rants and appointing district trustees
He is looked to as the energlzlng
force in the schools of the whole
county; to him the young struggling
teacher turns for help; on his shoul-
ders the people place the response

the schools of the county. Six nun

1t is strange that q town OF 5,000
people finds it economy to pay a
town superintendent from $1,000 to
$4,000 to supervise two or three
schools with from 20 to so teachers,
while the country, including the
same town, offers but s400 to $500
to the county superintendent to sup
eryise 100 schools and more than
100 teachers. Our neighboring States
in the South are waking up in this
matter. We must have better super
vision if our schools are to be eili-
cient.
Anyone with a genuine desire 10
do service to his State does not have
to travel far to see a school house

time in the history of our state when

large measure upon how we meet our

In his admirable speech before the
State Press Association at the Isle OF
Palms recently Mr.. a. 3. Williams
paid glowing tribute to the Joung
men of South Carolina for their lidel-
ity to principle in tie dark days when
the old State lay Drostrate under the
heel of the oppressor. They refused
to be corrupted by the allurement of
high office and fct emoIuments, and
stood true. The same may be said OF
them today. Excepting j &. Capers
and a few Others who have fallen, all
of our Young men have remained true
to our grand old rnovner. The apos::
tates can be counted Oh the fingers OF
one hand All honor to cur young
men.

ton on the same train with them"
Two days later the Lieutenant re-
turned to his post-where he Knew
he no longer had a friend.
Captain Kelley had gone to Wash
ingtor to testify about the Browns
vile raid. He made no complaint
against Lieutenant Richardson; but
the matter had been brought by 9TH
ers to the attention of the War De-
partment, and Lieutenant Richard
son shortly received a hint that it
would be best for him to leave the
service. Accordingly he placed his
resignation in the hands Of Colonel
Brown, his superior officer, who for
warded it to Washington, where it
went straight to President Roose-
velt's hands, who promptly accepted
it.
On the day after he knew that he
was out of the army and forever dis
graced Lieutenant Richardson's body
was found in a hotel in Fort Sam
Houston. He had taken his own life
with large doses Of both prussic acid
and morphine. He left note which
read:
''To whom it may concern: This
act has been inevitable sincelast No
vember.
What did he mean? Solely this
easily discoverable with the man
dead; Lieutenant Richardson, follow
ing his illness last Fall, he had be-
come confirmed victim Of the NOR
phine habit. He had tried repeated
ly to shake off the bonds of the drug
and had failed. Knowing that he was
doomed, ne would not make miser-
able the life Of another. He could not
bring himself to the point Of confess
ing to his afianced bride, but he could
fail to appear at the wedding.
Richardson came very near being
a hero," said one Of the officers who
had held him most in contempt.
In the light Of revelations made
after his death one can imagine
Lieutenant Richardson standing be-
fore a mirror---like de Maupassant's
"Coward''--choosing between the
poison draught in one hand and the
wedding ring in the other.
Did Lieutenant Richardson prove
a coward, as de Maupassant's
sorry hero did? Was it cowardice to
refuse to live disgraced? Having vol
disgraced himself in order
not to involve another's happiness,
would he not have been braver to
have lived on in disgrace to fight and
his secret enemy?
But. outside Of religions r~omis- !
es, is there any sufficient reward for
such struggle?

COTTON PICKER.
A Mississippi Machine That Real.
Iy Picks the Cotton,
At Least That Is What It's Inventors
Claim For Twill Pick the Next

Several capitalists Of Greenville,
Miss, are engaged IN the manufac-
ture and, it is hoped, the sale Of
machine that really picks cotton at
the rate Of about 5000 pounds per
day, carrying five rows at a time,
and getting each and every boil that
is open.
It is to be hoped that the Mississ-
ippi Cotton Harvester company Will
prove q! monster success. If one
thing is needed in the South more
than another, it is a cotton picker.
The old-fashioned machine, the ne
gro, is worn out, and he will be pick
ed if he can.
He must be supplanted on the cot
ton platform, regardless Of the cost.
He has become lazy, trihing and i'm
pudent, and will not listen to the ad-
vice of his employer. He quits the
field whenever he gets ready. He
wants a dollar and a half a day for
fon-bits worth of work, and the
farmer cannot afford to pay it.
Thousands Of dollars are lost annual
ly to the farmers Of the state because
of inability to get their cotton picked
at the proper time.
The towns and the dice tables have
great attractions for the negro at
cotton picking time. Especially Is
that the case when they have sue.
ceeded in getting in debt to the LAND
owner or the store keeper, and real
ize that they will not be able to gath
er enough cotton to pay out and have
a few dollars to splurge on during
Christmas.
The Greenville machine has beer
tested thoroughly and has been founc
to do the work its inventor
George H. Zempter, claims for it
The manufacturers, therefore, have
a bonanza--a veritable gold mine.
The machine is composed of ligh
platform ska feet, made Of l-4x4-ln
ch channel bar steel, and mounted OF
four broad tired steel agriculture
wheels, which are fitted on arche(
, axels to enable the machine to b.
, driven astride the cotton rows with
out injury to the unmatured part O.
the crop.
The machine is self-propelling, ant
, is guided by the operator with
stering device similar to that of Al
. automobile. On the platform
mounted to 25 horse power oppose
cylinder gasoline engine, which, be
sides driving the machine, operate
! double exhaust Of suction fan at
high rate of speed, producing a yer
strong suction, which is applied t
the open cotton by means Of four fleS
ible double suction hose, two on eac
side of the machine.
Each hose requires one man to OF
. crate the nozzle, which is held nea
! the open cotton boil. The suctio
) speedily removes the cotton from tn
, plant, drawing it through the hos
fans, and a large discharge f1ue int
screen receptacle on the rear end Q
the machine, from which it can b
readily removed by means OF door
