SOUTH DRYER THAN EVER
Wave of Prohibition Spreading
All Over the Country.
Knoxville "Dry" With 4 Whoop-
There is Now Not a Licensed
Saloon in the Tennessee City.

Knoxville, Tenn.-This city went
@dry" at midnight. There is now not
one saloon in Knoxville, and in all the
State the licensed saloon exists in
only four cities-Memphis, Nashville,
Chattanooga and Lafolette. The
wave Of prohibition is spreading all
over the South, the people expressing
themselves with a unanimity and de-
| cision that leaves no doubt as to their
feelings against the saloon.
The saloons here have been closing
at intervals ever since dark. Their
stocks had practically been sold out
at 6 D. M, and as fast as the last
drop Of wet goods was disposed of the
| saloons put up their shutters for
good. Citizens of all classes have TO:
several days been stocking up their
homes, as have the clubs, the mem
bers Of which have been provided
with private lockers, and the sales
have been unprecedented. The death
of the liquor traffic was marked at
night by much registering, and the
entire police force and every deputy
sheriff and constable Of the county
was on duty, alert for possible trouble
on the most eventful night in the
history of the city. No serious trou-
BILE was reported.
Prohibition was procured here un-
der the Pendleton law, which permits
the incorporation Of local govern
ments with the saloon out. The
method Of destroying the saloon was
through the adoption Of new charters,
in which liquor selling Is forbidden.
The rumors that the liquor interests
would make an effort to thwart TIE
operations Of the law and OF the new
charter are found to be untrue. Most
of the saloonkeepers announced dur
ing the afternoon that they would
close at 10 p. M, and they did so.
Knoxville Is thus without a licensed
saloon for the first time In more than
100 years. Early city records show
that LIQUOR was sold in taverns IN
1895, and it was probably sold to
the Indians, on the banks OF the Ten
nessee River, prior to that time.
Knoxville voted on the question OF
saloons on March II last, and pro-
hibition won by nearly 1000 majority
The election was the most exciting
ever held here, women and children
taking a very active part. There
were more than 100 saloons In opera
ton. In the sister State Of Kentucky,
40 of the 119 counties are dry.

Bristol,s Twenty-Five Saloons Closed

Bristol, Tenn.-The last Of the
twenty-five saloons which Bristol had
only a few months ago closed, when
thirteen establishments went out OF
existence. All trains have been
crowded with passengers, from East
Tennessee and Southwest Virginia,
who have carried away packages OF
whisky, while the daily shipments
have crowded the express cars.

ditions to Utah's wealth reaches east
ly $4,000 day, while that of the ter
ritory spoken of must be fully $Io,-
600, perhaps $4,000, and the total
figure in money must thus equal, or
exceed, 100000. 1t is all in sight
too. Every pound is of1can be sold
while yet it is on the sleeps back.
Buyers representing great and respon-
sible houses are on the ground and
more coming. And then, when it is
considered that these gigantic sales
and shipments do not dplete the stock
in trade at all, but rather, on the
other hand, that it becomes greater
and more productive with each sue
ceeding year, and the added import
ant item above outlined that it is
strictly and immediate cash business,
the magnitude of the factor which
the shepherds of the state consti-
tute is apparent at glance. Perhaps
the total yield for the state, in pounds,
would require seven figures to give
it expression, and it ought to go a
good ways beyond the smallest ex-
preston of which such an array is
capable; indeed, the clip has been
conjectured at as high as 5000, 900
pounds, which, while to my notion
somewhat exaggerated, is yet pos
sible; and to reach the amount in
dollars it is only necessary to divide
by four-after which let any who
dares talk about mines, cattle, visitors
and the hen as Our chief sources OF
wealth! All help, and help amazingly,
but the four-footed contributor to Re.
publican ascendancy is bigger con-
tributor than nine out of ten ,.now
of, and I am glad of this opportunity
of doing even this little toward hav-
ing his merits recognized.
1t was the intention to say some
thing about the mines and some other
things; but assuming that you have
other matter which you want to APP
pear in this issue, will ring off for
this time.-EXILE.

made by all the important authorities.
A study of the circular must lead
directly to the conclusion that the
rate which forest products in the Uni
ted States have been and are being
consumed is far too lavish and that
only one result can follow unless
steps are promptly taken to prevent
waste in use and to increase the
growth rate of every acre of forest in
the United States. This result is a
timber famine. This country is today
in the same position with regard to
forest as was Germany $50 years ago.
During this period of $50 years such
German States as Saxony and Prus-
STA, particularly the latter, have ap-
piled a policy of government control
and regulations which has immensely
increased the productivity of the for
ests. The same policy will achieve
even better results in the United
States, because we have the advan-
tage of all the lessons which Europe
has learned and paid for in the course
of century of theory and practice.
Lest it might be assumed that the
rapid and gaining depletion of Ameri-
can forest resources is sufficiently
accounted for by the increase in
population, it is pointed out in the
circular that the increase in popula-
ton since 1880 is barely more than
half the increase in lumber cut in the
same period. Two areas supplying
timber have already reached and pas
sed their maximum production-the
Northeastern States in 1870 and the
Lake States in 1890. Today the
Southern States, which cut yellow
pine amounting to one-third the to-
are undoubtedly near their maximum.
The Pacific States will soon take the
ascendency. The State of Washing
ton within few years has come to
the front and now ranks first of all
individual States in volume of cut.
At present but one-ffth of the to-
tai forest area of the United States
is embraced in National Forests. The
remaining four-ffths have already
passed or are most likely to pass into
private hands. The average age of
the trees felled for lumber this year
is not less than $50 years. In other
words, if he is to secure second
crop of trees of the same size, the
lumberman or private forest owner
must wait, say, at least one hundred
years for the second crop to grow.
AS rule, such longtime investments
as this waiting would involve do not
commend themselves to business men
who are accustomed to quick returns.
But the States and the Nation can
look much farther ahead The larger,
then, the area of National and State
control over woodlands, the greater
is the likelihood that the forests OF
the country will be kept permanently

idea of the rapidity with which their

is expected that by the time the
shearing is all over not less than
100000 sheep will have parted with
their feecy vestments, the average
product of each being about seven
pounds. This makes not far from
quarters of million pounds of
wool, which at present prices means
