More Advertising.

The decision of the Hartman rail-
roads to Increase their newspaper ad.
vertiseng gives much satisfaction to
California papers, not merely because
of the Immediate profit to themselves,
but because publicity for the railroad
means advertising for the state. The
Pasadena Star says:
The fact that the Southern Pacific
and the Union Pacific are to advertise
more extensively than ever before
foreshawods a vast amount of valu.
able publicity for California. This
state is the gem setting of the won
derful region penetrated by the Har-
rirnan roads Its wonders and advan.
tages will be abundantly exploited In
the advertising campaigns planned
by these roads This viii not only be
materially profitable to the roads, but
to California as well.
And no advertising other than that
in newspapers would begin to do the
work 50 completely.

SHORTAGE M HICKORY

age n he supply q hafdwoods over
takes Us than the hickory, one u the
foresters in the employ Of the govern
ment recently said. The truth Of this
statement is not realized by anyone
more than the practical men of the
various trades whose future prospect,
ty is measured by the available sup
ply of this valuable timber
Hickory ranks Oily twelfth among
the hardwoods in the country's an
nual timber cut, according to the cen
sus report for 1906. So far as quaint.
lty is concerned it is not to be COM
pared with white oak or yellow poplar.
But it is used to-day for number Of
purposes which require great tough
ness and great strength. and no other
wood occurring In considerable guam
tity combines these properties in a
greater degree than do some OF the
hickories.
Peculiar interest is given to the
situation by the fact that hickory is
distinctively an American genus. 1t
occurs only in the eastern part of the
United States. and large quantities of
hickory handles. spokes, wheels and
other parts of vehicles, and farm i'm
plements are exported each year to
all parts of the world.
The requirements Of the trade are
very exactIng. Hickory timber to be
serriceable must be heavy, clear and
straight grained. To this very essen
tial qualification, custom and tradition
have added an unnecessary burden in
the shape of grading rules which dis
criminate against red hickory, and al
SO against iron streaks, small bird
pecks, and hard knots in the wood,
which may not really affect the
strength at all.
Practical users OF this timber have
realized for years that revision of
the grazing rules was not only advisa-
BILE but necessary. and now, the Ma
tlonal Hickory Association of Chicago
has requested the United States For.
est Service to cooperate with it in
the revision of the grading rules for
vehicle and agricultural implement
stock. This association is composed
largely Of hickory and oak users, and
its members represent the wagon, car.
rage. spoke. handle, hardwood di-
mension and agricultural implement
manufacturers together with the ac-
cessory trades.
The grading rules for the classes of
material used by the manufacturers of
this association are to-day largely what
they were twenty-five years ago. The
dissatisfaction constantly arising
from the inadequacy of the present
rules calls for a complete revision to
make them conform with present day
conditions.
During the past two years the For
est Service has been conducting a
study of the vehicle industry, supple
mented by large number of tests to
determine the relative effect of vari-
GUS defects upon the strength of We
hicle stock, and to ascertain the rela.
tive strength of white and red hickory.
The results of these studies have been
made tho subject of n Forest Seryice
publication which will be issued
shortly.

Flowers returned Tuesday afternoon
from the Stateburg neighborhood,
where he investigated the death OF.
Walter Blanding, colored. The ne
gro was the owner of a store and
was found brutally cut up in his
store. No one appeared to know any
thing Of the affair, and Coroner
Flowers did not empanel a jury. From
all appearances the murder was done
for the purpose of robbery, as only
9S cents was found in the store and
the deceased was said to have been
doing good business and to be well
off. The body was terribly mutilat-
ed with gashes inflicted with a hatch
ct and knife that were found near
the body covered with blood. =

Bank and Trust company's annual
statement shows a gratifying finan-
cial condition for the year 1907. A
comparison of the statement with

surplus fund. One year ago the cap
ital stock Of the bank was 100000,
and the last installment of the ad.
ditiona1 stock was not paid, until
July /, when the percentage of prof
its on capital<is really much greater
than appears in the statement.
