A crowd had collected at the postoffice
in one of the villages. waiting for the
evening mail to come in from sta
ton sixteen miles distant. At last a
man emerged from the Office with a
paper in his hand, and a number of
citizens gathered about the man and
waited in breathless silence until he
had finished reading and had thrown
the paper in the air with a.shout of
exultation. Then several citizens de-
manded: "What's the news? Who's
elected?"
Elected nothing" replied the man.

proposed law are becoming active,
IN a quiet way, and hope to entice

Appalachian
Forest Question

Many have misund erstood the mean
ing of the Appalachian Forest question.
False and misleading statements have
been scattered broadcast. 1t has been
said that the Government would drive
the people from their homes. Nothing
could be more untrue. The Govern
ment plans to buy timberIand of those
who wish % sell at fair prices. Instead
of destroying homes and turning the
region into o wilderness, it will bring
business into the section. It will en-
courage the farming of land more suited
to farming than to other uses. It viii
permit grazing so long as this does no
hurt the range and forests. 1t will per-
nit the cutting of timber where that
does not damage the forests II will
permit mining, where minerals exist as
it does in the Western National For
ests. The Government will help pay
the local taxes, ten percent of the gross
receipts from timber sales and other
forest uses going 10 the county. The
Government we'll protect the forests
against fire. 1t will check the approach
of the timber famine. 1t will make
foods less common and dangerous. In
selling timber, the Government will
give the preference to people living in
and near the woods, rather than to out
siders. Good roads will be built into
the woods and these will be open to the
public. More or less work with wages
will be furnished in building roads, GET
ting ont timber and projecting the for
ests. Some will be needed to help in
planting trees like popular and oak,
which are growing scarce. The mea-
sure will aid directly the interests of
the local community, the state, the sec
ton, and the nation. It is a part of a
great movement which seeks to con-
serve, for the highest use of all the o
pie, u great natural and to
prevent the turning OF the country into
a desert as has already been done in
large sections of the old world.

The lower house of congress has

that no currency measure will be

Remember that the temperance
laws now effective in Henderson
county will not be changed in anv
particular if the prohibition bill
should fail of ratification at the

North Carolina. You take no

Ject as this. Vote for prohibition.

accorded to the t'moulders of pub

cient assistants.
The newspaper men Of Charlotte
contributed nightly in the en-
tertainment of their visiting breth-
rem and are reallya fine lot Of fell
lows. The Observer and News
offices were frequented by ''the
boys" who could not fail to see
that they were thrice welcome
every time. Gary Dowd, J, P.
Caldwell, Howard Banks, John
Ross, w. D. Adams, and a dozen
others we could name, have the
happy faculty of affording enter
tainment that is especially pleas
ing to Eye country editor" and
city chaps like Brother Greene. of
the Marshville Home. Then there
Was Mayor Franklin. Solicitor
Clarkson, Representative Preston,
Cam" Morrison, Senator Pharr,
Col. T.. L. Kirkpatrick and all
other citizens of Charlotte Joined
in extending the glad hand. So
we must give the city itself credit
for making possible one of the
most pleasant and profitable ses-
sions the North Carolina Press
Association has experienced in it's
entire history.
That Charlotte is one of the
first cities of the State in educa-
ton, morality and industrial de-
velopment must be admitted, It's
growth during the past twenty
years has been really remarkabl
and the end is not yet. Her citi-
zenship is of the best type and ev-
cry man, woman and child is an
enthusiastic supporter Of progress
sive measures. They are proud
of their city and are ever happy
when engaged i'll singing it's prais-
es. If any chronic kickers infest
the place they certainly "made
themselves scarce" during the So
journ of the "moulders of public
opinion" Suffice 1t to say that
the fine city called Charlotte ia
going forward by leaps and bounds
and is destined to soon become
one of the most important COM
mercial centers in the New South.
The remarkable advancement the
city has made is largely due to
the untiring efforts put forth by
her splendid newspapers, which
have long been united in boosting
their town. The Observer is &C.
k~nowledged to be one of the best
morning papers i'll the South,
while the Evening News Is in the
front rank among the afternoon
daiiies. Fact is, VIZ are in love
with Charlotte. Let us make her
another visit some of these days.
