Collecting Forest Tree Seed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7th. - The
Forest Service has made arrange
ments to collect fifty million seeds
of forest trees during September
and October of this year. The
collections will be made in Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado, Ari-
zona, and California, from Doug
las fir, Engelmann spruce, West
ern larch, Incense cedar, and
yellow pine trees.
The seeds will be used for
broadcast sowing, and for plant
ing in Forest Service Nurseries.
The broadcast sowing will be
experimental to test the extent
to which this method of renewing
the forests on denuded lands in
the West can be used. Many
large tracts have been rendered
treeless by repeated fires, and
only by planting or sowing can
timber be got to grow there
again for a long time to come.
The cost of planting nursery
seedlings is great when the area
is large. For that reason it will
be an immense saving of money.
labor, and time if a new forest
can be started by broadcast SOW
ing. Many tests in different
States will be necessary before
the problem can be worked out.
Much of the tree seed to be
collected this fall will be used in
the Forest Service nurseries.
The tiny, seedlings will begin
their life in beds, to be later
transplanted for a year or more
of care and cultivation, and
fiually to be set out on the de-
nuded mountain slopes.
The gathering of tree seeds
is an interesting process, one
method is to rob squirrels nests.
The little animal is made to work
for man. In the West, where
hickory nuts, chestnuts, and
beech nuts are very scarce or
wholly lacking, the squirrel gives
his attention to pine cones. He
stores them by the bushel behind
old logs, or in the hollow bases
of trees, to wait for them to open
and release the seeds. He collects
good qualities, for he climbs to
the tops Of the tallest trees, and
to the tips of the longest limbs,
and cuts down the choice cones.
The seed gatherer searches out
and robs the squirrels hoard.
Seeds must be gathered in
other ways also, for the squirrel
collects only certain species for
which he has a particular taste.
When men do the work they
usually go to some tract where a

THE WADESBORO LYNCiiiNG
TRIALS

We suppose that the acquittal OF

ing case means that one OF the ce-
PENDANTS will be punished. Jones made
a very good defense with his alibi.
was direct conflict of testimony
between the witnesses for the state
and those for the prisoner. Sheriff
Began weakened the cases for the
state by either stating just after M
1ynching thai he did not recognize
any of the lynchers or making such
evasion replies to questions as to Gre
ate the impression that he was not
able to identify any of the men in The
party. Somebody ought to be punish
ed for the crime that was committed.
Johnson was lyncned in a most hor-
rible and brutal manner The men,
whoever they were, it seems took lit
tie pains to disguise themselves. 1t
would be strange if the culprits could
not be spotted; but the jury is right
in not convicting unless convinced oe-
yond a doubt of the guilt Of the &C
cused persons. In the case tried there
was strong evidence put before the
jury, that the defendant spent the
night of the lynching thirteen miles
from Wadesboro. We do not see how
the jury could have convicted 1im
on the evidence before it; still, it will
show a very deplorable state of affairs
if sufficient evidence cannot be Sc
cured to convict any of the men who
took part in the crime. We are not
passing upon the guilt Of any of the
indicted men. 1t may be that not Il
single one of them was present on that
occasion; but some men Were there,
broke open the Jail and committed the
brutal murder. They should be aprrn-
hended and punished. We do not eX-
pect any of those now under indict-
ment will be convicted, however,
whether they We're really present or
not. For the sake of the good name
of the county of Arson and of the
state we want to see the men who are
guilty convicted and punished for their
crime. If there be a determination
among the people of Arson county,
where the crime was committed, and
of Union county, where the parties
charged with the commission of the
crime are being tried, that no one,
whether guilty or not, shall be convict
ed, it is not at all to the credit of the
people of those counties.

that election there will be no tariff
revision. The claim will be made that
by their votes the people have endors-
ed the Dingley bill and have declared
against any reduction OF the present

really desire tariff revision need not
expect to get it from their own party.
either before or after the next presi-
dentiol election. If they have such
expectations they will be sadly dis.
appointed. Their only hope of relief
is in a democratic congress, backed by
a democratic president. The repuhli-
can cry now is that tariff revision
must wait, and that same cry will be
heard the day after the November
election of next year, and the revision
advocates in that party will be no
nearer securing their desire then thar
they are now.

sona1 spite and cheap politics b
anything else in that cry.
A D~IABOLICAL ACT.

The mystery of poisoning Mr.. and
Mrs. M. c. Jones, of Wake county, q
few days ago has no yet been solved.
There is no doubt that some one slip
ped into the kitchen while Mrs. Jones
and her daughter we're in another part
OF the house and put a quantity of ar
senic in the coffee pot, causing the ex-
IRENE illness of the two elder mem
bers of the family who drank some of
the coffee at supper. So far as We can
learn there is no one toward whom
suspicion points as The guilty person,
dent. 1t was a deliberate and most
diabolical act on the part of some one,
done for the purpose of numbering, in
the most cruel n all the members
of the household. The person who did
the deed, if brought to trial. could
| have no defense. There could be no
extenuating circumstances. There was
murder deliberate and pTemeditated
in the heart of the perpetrator of the
act. and though there was failure of
| results intended, and no murder in
fact occurred, the death penalty is not
a bit too severe for the person who
committed the crime.

this is we do not know-whether Of
the system Of doing the public print

or Of the public printer through neg

the people are very slow in getting

that the state bar association

will come OF it's action.
