city to see his brothers from New
York and from the army. Mr.. Allen
says that If any one wants to know
what prohibition is really they should
visit North Carolina now and see the
practical workings and the demorali-
cation of labor and business from the
blind tigers in spite of the Pinkerton
detectives that are employed to run
tnem TO earth. Labor is demoralized
because all the negrOe can make
more money as blind tigers thar by
honest work, and wages are too high
even If one can get a man or woman
to work.
II says that there is more drunk
ever saw in Goldsboro before,
and thai the same is true Of other
towns in the State. The jug trains
and express company are doing a big
business. Sixty-ive gallons of liquor
in one day was counted a dull ship
ment for G~oldsbOro, and more money
is going out of the community now
for liquor than ever before.
Mr.. Allen says he is n has al
ways been an advocate of prohibit
ton, but that he is convinced now that
the passage Of such a law unsup-
ported by the real sentiments of the
people, has worked for corruption and
evil. He kinks likely that the State
Legislature may repeal it next time
and give the people local option as
they had before, and under which
temperance seemed to be advancing"

FOREST CONDITIONS.
State and National Government FIX
pertS to Make a Study

perts to Make a Study.
Inc North Carolina Geological and
Economic Survey have just concluded
arrangements with the U. S. Forest
service whereby a study of the forest
conditions of the State will be com
menced this SUMMER. Similar CO.
operative studies have previously been
carried on in New Hampshire, Cali
lorna, Kentucky and several other
States, the Forest Service doing the
work and h States paying half the
total COSTS This study will differ
slightly from previous ones in that a
State officer, Nr. j.. S. Holmes, For
ester to the North Carolina Geologi-
cal and Economic Survey. will be in
charge Of the work and the Federal
Government will furnish one or two
men to assist him. It is
expected that the field work will be
commenced within a month, the par
ty starting in the extreme western
corner Of the State, in Cherokee coun-
ty, and working eastwards. Each
county will be taken up separately,
the men going as nearly as possible,
into every part Of it. Lumbermen,
timber landowners, and other resi-
dents will be interviewed, the infor-
nation thus secured serving tC sup
plenaent and qualify the observations
of the foresters themselves.
The principal points hat it is in
tended to in this investigation
are as follows:
Determination of the percentage OF
forest land in each county together
with its comparative value for agri-
culture, for the production OF timber
and as a protection for streams.
The determination Of the percent
age and location Of the principal for
est types together with the approx
mate stand Of timber per acre of the
different species.
A general study Of the various for
est industries Of the State with the
object Of ascertaining the amount OF
timber consumed by them and the
amount Of timber land mat would be
required to furnish them with a per
petual supply.
A study Of the various methods OF
numbering to determine what, if any
changes could be recommended to i'm
prove the condition Of the forest and
prevent unnecessary waste.
A study of the allied industries
such as farming. stock-raising, and
mining in their relation to the forests
in order that the relative importance
of each can be determined.
The costs. frequency and effects OF
forest fires with the OBJECT Of working
out some practical system Of fire pro.
lection.
The practicability of planting in
forest trees abandoned field or other
waste land with the object of pre-.
venting erosion and producing tim
Der.
The chief object Of this study is tc
furnish to the people most interested
more accurate knowledge of the for
est Of the State. It will form
the basis Of recommendations for the
better NJ |snagentent of the forest
lands, and it is hoped it will result in
the enactment OF adequate forest laws
and q more enlightened and far-see-
ing State forest policy.

prevail Of the project.
Mr.. Taft said he was in hearty SYM
pathy with the movement. While the
executive expressed himself ia
vorably to the North and SOuth good
roads movement in a general way, he
aid he would avail himself OF saying
something specifically in favor Of the
undertaking at the first opportunity.
| While in the city Mr.. Tufts conferred
with a number of citizens with refer
ence to the building Of the proposed
highway between this city and Allan
ia, Ga.
Judge H. c.. Connor met the Pres
ident today in company with Senator
Overman and Ex-Governor Jarvis. 1t
was the first meeting w MI.
Taft and Judge Conner. The newly
appointed judge received a most hear
ty reception from the Chief Execu-
tive. OF course Judge Conner ex-
pressed his acknowledgements in ap-
prolriate words, and thanked the
President for the honor recently con-
ferred upon him..
"Hellow Governor. You see I fol-
lowed your advice" was the greeting
that came from Mr.. Taft when he
spied the grand old man OF Tar Heel
dom. you have never done anything
that pleased more the people Of a
State,' was Governor Jarvis comment
in reply. And i have not only come
to congratulate you, but / have the
honor Of accompanying Judge Conner
and l want to present him to YOU
Judge Connor and the President had
a pleasant chat. and afterwards the
Judge called on Attorney General
Wickersham, with whom he discussed
matters pertaining to the court.
Ex-Governor Jarvis saw the Secre-
tary of the Treasury with reference to
the public building site at Greenville.
He learned that there will be no de-
cision until July 1st.
