 The discussions of C. L. Hill forestry expert from the forestry bureau at Washington are listened to with absorb ing interest by the people. This sub ject is new to most of the people and the alarm he is sounding at the rapid destruction of the forests all over the country has a telling effect on his hear- CTS. Most of the people of this county IS well as in most of the counties Of
 
 great value of the forests and the good that is being done in enlightenng the people in this respect is of untold value. Mr. Hill explains how timber may be cut from the forest for preseNt uses with out destroying the supply or materially reducing the value of the crop.

 He also explains the value of creosol- in m 1her of preserving it.
 Good Roads Work.
 The talks on good roads by Secretary ]. A. Rountree are received with hear ty enthusiasm on every occasion. The question of good roads is one of vital in- terest to the people of this county who must carry great quantities of produce over the country roads to market. Any movement to improve the condition of these highways appeals at once to the people and they are offering every as- sistance possible in the work of the Ala bama Good Roads association
 The only thing that can be done now in the way of securing state aid which Is desired is to secure an amendment to the constitution which now prevents the state from making internal improvements. 1t was found during the last session or the legislature that the members were inclined to grant some sort of state aid but were prevented by the constitutional clause referred to.
 The good roads association asked for an election on an amendment and this was granted. The association Is now working for the establishment of strong favorable sentiment over the state pre- paratory for this election which is to be held in November, 1908.
 A meeting will be held at Addison m Winston county tomorrow and the party will return to Philadelphia in the south ern part of this county Thursday The campaign will close in this county next Saturday at Joppa in the northeastern part of the county.

Fine Address Promised.
Visit of Davis.

Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas was among the distinguished visitors to Jack son today but declined to discuss the political situation He declared he was in Jackson on legal business, that his visit had no political significance, what ever, and that he was getting his pri- vate affairs in shape to take up his new duties in Washington in December. The senator is apparently in the very best of health, and looks decidedly more like a statesman than on the occasion of a former visit to Jackson, when he was governor of his state.

Stand patters in Congress have
been able to block the more pro-
gressive republican members in
their efforts to bring about a gener-
al revision of the tariff. II is stat.
ed authoritively from Washington
that there will be no extra session
of Congress to discuss the tariff
question and no changes can be ex-
pected until after the next election.
The revision obstructionists have
bafiled every attempt to secure a
more equitable tariff schedule in
the face of public opinion, and still
hope to hold the confidence of the
people and elect republican presi-
dent to succeed Roosevelt The
demand for tariff revision is not
confined to the democratic party
alone. Iowa has but recently ell
ected republican governor who is
one of the leaders Of the tarifirevis-
ion movement and who made his
campaign on that platform. Re-
publicans in practically every state
in the Union are forming organiza-
tions for the purpose of boosting
the tariff revision and their efforts
will undoubtedly be successful in
the future.
