inferior grade, due generally to the
fact that the technical methods
used have been faulty. As a re-
suit of this, wood turpentine is at
present often considered as an adul-
terated material, or at best as a
poor substitute for gum spirits. 1t
is true that in some cases these
opinions are we'll founded, but in
feiior products have put an unnec-
essary damper on the whole indus
try.
The Section of Wood Chemistry
Of the Forest Service has lately
been investigating this subject. and
some valuable results have been
obtained. 1t has been found that
for the recovery Of turpentine from
wastewood, the steam distillation
process is far superior to that OF
distilling the wood destructively'
The crude turpentine is in all cases
more Uniform, and the final refined
materials are as rule of better
grade and can command better
price. When properly made ana
refined, experiments have shown
that the steam turpentines are in
mlny cases even more uniform in
composition than the gum turpen-
tines, and for all practical purposes.
contains the identical substances.
The odor often cannot be distln-
guished from that Of the gum spir-
it's, but even if it could, this is a
small matter in many cases, as in-
finitesimal and undetectable
amounts of certain impurities left
in the refined product as the result
of the methods of production can
produce this slight difference in
odor, and the wood turpentine
should not be condemned for prac-
teal purposes on this account.
This becomes still more evideLt
when it is known that the sweet
odor Of the gum turpentine is not
characteristic of itself, but is due
to an impuritv produced by the
chemical action of the air upon it.
These are important discoveries
and are we'll worthy Of consider
alton. If they are true, then refin-
ed steam turpentine, properly pre-
pared, should bring at least an
equal price in cnnnirv ,sii,'
the gum turpentine. Indeed,
abroad, this is often the case, and
instances are on record where the
refined steam turpentine has, by
virtue of its more uniform compo-
Sition, brought FIVE cents gallon
more than the gum spirits, and is
in much greater demand. Further
Investigations along these lines
will be pushed vigorously by the
Forest Service.

Better Utilization of Yellow Pine.
In fifteen or twenty years, al
the present rate Of cutting, the
supply Of the longleaf yellow pine
Of the South, one of Americas
most useful forest trees will be
nearly exhausted" say thu. experts
Of the United States Forests Serv-
ice. If these pine forests are wiped
out one of the South's important
industries will die-the production
of the so.called naval stores.
1.-THE lumber Of the Southern
yellow pine brings SIS to $50 per
thousand feet, its turpentine SO
cents per gallon, its rosin from
$3.50 to Sc 95 per 2S0 pounds, and
its pitch 80 25 per 2SO pounds. All
of these prices are gradually coming
higher and higher on account OF
the increased demand and the
scarcity of the products. Former
", turpentine could be purchased
for 80 cents allon. Now 81 cents
must be paid at wholesale. and the
consumer Of gallon lots will pay at
times as high as 81.
In the face of these fast increase
ing prices, people are still found
who say that there is vet an mex
haustible supply of yellow pine 10
the South, and that all talk about
a famine is unwarranted. Such
statements are not justified BY con-
ditions and the yellow pine lumber
| ing industry will soon be in the
face of a serious shortage unless
decided changes are made in the
present methods. and unless valua-
BILE products now going TO waste
are utilized. The longleaf pine is
a slow-growing tree and does not
make timber with anywhere n al
the rapiditv that it is being cut
The situation calls for making the
very best use of the present supply
There are at present in the woods
Of the South vast quantities OF pine
logs and tall stumps left as result
of careless numbering in the past
This material is rich in turpentln'
and could be made to yield from
ten to fifteen gallons OF refined
spirits per cord. Besides this, ther'

WHEN INQUEST IS
NOT NECESSARY

Judge Evans has handed down an
opinion declining to- approve or order
the county to pay the costs of holding
the inquest on the dead body of JOS
eph e. Birks. who lost his life Dy
drinking carbolio acid by mistaLe at
the Germania brewery last summer
The approval of this inquisition, which
was held by Justice of the Peace Will
liam V. Oglesby as acting coroner,
was resisted by tie county comnlIs-
sioner..
Citing an opinion of Judge Furst in
sitniiar case the court holds that
when a coroner. or, in his absence,
Justice, is called upon to view dead
body he should make some reasonable
inquiry into the circumstances of the
death before proceeding to summon a
jury and hold an inquest. Where the
surrounding facts do not show viol-
ence and there is no reason for sup
posing felonious destruction of the
person there is no necessity for an in
quest But when the contrary appears
or death is involved in mystery it is a
proper case for an inquest. When it is
quite evident that death has been caus
ed by disease or other natural causes,
suicide, pure accident, or negligence
of the deceased no inquest will be
needed and, it held, no fees should be
allowed therefore,
The above opinion should prove very
valuable to justices of the peace when
called upon as acting coroners to de-
eide whether or not an inquest is
necessary. Care. however, should be
taken not to misconstrue any of the
points advanced and err on the side of
too great caution thus permitting
cases of sudden death to pass in which
there is an element of mystery and in
which there would seem TO be neces-
sity for au inquest in order to show
that the authorities are vigilaut in
their effort to block crime.

GAVE A SUPPER

One of the largest and most success
full as we'll as one of the most unique
church suppers ever held in Danville
was given Tuesday eve at the Mahon-
ing Presbyterian church by DR.. Yeo-
mans bible class, composed entirely
of men. The affair was complete from
the excellent chicken and waffles to
the elaborate decorations and the
music and over 500 people partook Of
the bountiful repast
The DIR. Yeomaus class has forty
five members all men. 1t is named aft
er one of the first pastors of the Pres
byterian church, and recently room
has been fitted up in the church for
the use of the class by Mrs. Louise

ter of DR.. Yeomans. in memory of her
father. Mrs. Boyd had intended being
in Danville last night, but death in
the family prevented her visit. The
class is taught by Howard B. Schultz,
superintendent of the Sunday school.
Every detail of the supper last night
was arranged by the men members of
the class. The culinary department
was under the direction of John B
Mccoy, and each of the other depart
ments was under it's own head, and
was efficiently attended to.
The room was profusely decorated
for the occasion, appropriately to
autumn. Large pumpkins served as
vases for the flowers on the tables, and
ears of corn and autumn leaves were
tastefully arranged about the room.
Music was furnished by three peice
orchestra. The proceeds of the supper
will be devoted to fund for INSTALL

the number out on bail is correspond
