Forest Area of the South.

The South, with twenty-seven per
cent. of the total area Of the United
States, contains about forty-two per
cent. Of the total forest area OF the
country. The forest area by states
is as follows: Alabama, 2O,OO0,O0O
acres; Arkansas, 24,2OO,OOO; Florida,
2O,OOO,0OO; Georgia, 22,300,0OO; Ken
lucky, 100000; Louisiana, 16,5OO,-
900; Maryland, 100000; Mississippi,
|17,5OO,OOO; North Carolina, 1O,60O,-
900; South Carolina, $4,000, 900; Ten
nessee, 15,OOO,OOO; Texas, 3O,OOO,OOO;
Virginia, 100000 and West Vir-
ginia, 100000.
The South, it will be seen, has still
much Of the virgin forest Of the coun-
try. This forest must be used OF
course, in order to meet the steadily
expanding wants Of this section. 1t
must be used in such manner, how
ever, that the very most may be made
from it's annual cut, while at the
same time this cut is being replaced
by new growth. In this way its timber
will remain a source of perpetual
wealth.
The Importance Of forest conserva-
ton to southern interests Is clearly
understood by the people OF the
South. The future of the South IS
more nearly bound up in the plan OF
forest preservation, with its accompa-
nying protection to watersheds, pow
er-streams, and woodworking indus
tries. than is anything now before the
people Of this part Of the country
Not only is the protection Of the wa
tersheds, which will some day furnish
the power to run all manufacturing
establishments in the entire South, an
important matter to the South, but
the industries depending upon the
forest products will also be benefited
by the protection thrown about the
remaining timbered area.

storms last night and to-day, that has
ever visited this section.
The wind at times reached a velocl-
tv Of seventy miles an hour. Numer-
,, Gus small houses were overturned and
in some instances the inmates were
slightly injured, but no fatalities are
reported.
One of the city's big electric light
ing towers was blown down, falling on
small house and cutting it in two.
There were five persons in the house,
but none Of them was even bruised.
In the business section OF Austin,
plate glass windows We're blown IN,
and inasmuch as terrific rain accom-
panied the storm, the water caused
great damage to goods. Signs were
blown down like so much waste paper.
While the city suffered a property
loss estimated at between. $oO,0OO
Ind $4,000, this entire section, from
a crop standpoint, has been benefited
in a most marked degree by the storm.
The cotton crop in Central, South and
North Middle Texas was in Distress
ing condition on account OF the
drought. Last nights rain extended
from the Gulf to the lower part OF the
Panhandle, right through the cotton
belt of Central and Middle East Tex
as, and farmers are elated over the
probability of good yields.
Further Reports Of Storm Damage.
Houston, Texas, July 23.-Other
than to add several hundred thousand
to the monetary loss, to-night's dis
patches from the storm swept coast
sections Of Louisiana and Texas and
into the interior for a hundred miles
add but little to the destruction al
ready attributed to the hurricane OF
Wednesday. Tonight the number OF
killed is conservatively estimated at
25. twice as many more or less Sc
riousIy injured, and the property loss
is estimated at approximately $l,OOO,-
900. While belated reports may add
to the list Of casualties and the prop
erty damage, other than the isolated
points. communication has been re-
stored. Late dispatches add the towns
of Rock Island, Wharton and Weimer
to those which suffered to an extent
from the sweep Of the wind. At Rock
Island nine of the largest buildings
were either razed or partially de-
stroyed. the damage being estimated
at $4,000. Fifty houses were blown

Passing Of the Bad Man

It Is quite evident that the old time desperado has gone to join good many other early characteristics of frontier lawlessness. The Wild Bills" and Arizona Kids have lost their terror. The day has passed when a reckless rider can charge down the main street of mining town and chase the wary inhabitants indoors. Nor can the bad men from Bitter Creek longer hope to force the ter rorized tenderfoot to perform terpsi- chorean stunts at the muzzle of q wicked looking gun.
 The bad man of the plains is pass ing because he stands alone. In the earlier time there was a general law less spirit to inspire him and applaud him. Now he is regarded as nui- sanee. Ks long as he commits no harmful acts he can fume and swagger as he pleases. When he becomes dan- gerous he is shot down with as little ceremony as would be given a snap- ping hound.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
