an old saying that you can't eat your
cake and have it too. But it is COM
monplace of modern forestry that you
can cut your timber and still have all
the trees you need. if you go about it
in the right way. And the potential
forest wealth of that section is almost
beyond computation.
Another valuable asset is mineral
wealth. North Carolina produces
more different kinds of minerals than
almost any other State in the Union.
And the greater part of this wealth
is in the extreme western part Of the
State.
For many years this land of mex
koustible possibilities was COMPARE
lively unknown. Remote, inaccessible,
a tangled maze of steep mountains
threaded by precipitous trails, it was
regarded as out of the world. But
ali that is changed. Its resources
were too great to be left undeveloped;
and with development comes i'm
proyement of transportation. There,
as elsewhere, the insistent demand for
improved highways has made itself
felt. The good roads spirit is in the
air. And with the increase OF means
,f inter communication, there is a
steady growth in business.
Jackson and Macon counties are ad-
vancing with rapid strides. And that
advance means much to DillsborO
which is their shipping point. No
town can grow without good county
behind it. Dillsboro's future is as
sured because Dillsboro is the center
and the railroad outlet of one of the
richest sections of Western North Car

5000 on it's roads at once. Macadam

Minnesota Wins Rate Case.

Washington, June 9.-The State
Of Minnesota won a substantial VIC
tory in the Supreme Court to-d2y
when, in the Minnesota State late
case, Justice Hughes, for the court,
held that the rates of the Minnea DO
lis and st. Louis railroad were con-
fiscatory and unconstitutional, but
that the rates of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern were valid.
The decision was a victory for the
State on the Interstate comm rec
phases of the controversy and uUon
the conflscatory features with the ex-
ception of the portion affecting the
Minneapolis and st. Louis.
In effect the Supreme Courts de-
cision upholds the right of the Iin-
nesota commission and the Leg sla-
ture to prescribe passenger rat of
cents a mile and a maxinum
freight rate, provided always those
rates are not confiscatory.

JAPs SEEK LAND IN GEORGIA.
Little Brown Men, Forced Out of Cal
ifornia, Make Inquiries.
ATLANTA Constitution. 10th, }

Does Georgia want a colony OF
Japs? That is a question which the
people Of this State may have to an-
Swer for themselves in the near Tu-
ture.
Governor Brown is in receipt OF a
letter from b. Johnson, president
of the Johnson \ .lerican and Tor
eign Land Exchange, of Washing on,
ID. c., inquiring whether or not
Georgia had law prohibiting the
alien ownership of land or placing
any restrictions thereon. Mr.. john
son said that he represented a colony
of thirty or forty Japanese, who were
being forced out of California by the
alien land ownership law recently
enacted in that State, and who were
seeking a location in Georgia.
The writer said further that he
had been in correspondence with the
owner of large tract Of land in this
State who was willing to sell to the
Japs. He wanted to know whethpr
the laws Of the State made any dis
elimination against them, and also
whether there was any public senti-.
ment against their settlement here.
The letter added that the eyes og
the little brown men" were now Ge~
ing turned to the South, since things
had been made so difficult for thom
in the Pacific Slope States, and he
did not doubt that there would b. a
colony of several hundred to locate
here in the near future, provided
there was nothing in the way Of their
acquisition Of land and their CON IN
was not displeasing to the people,
Governor Brown said that he did
not know of any law on the sta ute
Of hDh Il
the Japanese, or anybody else who
had the money to buy it, from ac-
quiring land in this State, but he
would refer Mr.. Johnson to the At
torney General for an expert opinion

Seattle to San Diego and down to
Mexico. We know the weak spots In
your five great transcontinental rail-
ways between the Pacific and the
Rocky Mountains. We know the de-
fendable passes, the destructible
bridges.
I'm case OF war Japan could un-
doubtedly take the Philippines with
out great expenditure of money or
blood. We could take the Hawaiian
Island and Guam. We could batter
the defenses of your Panama Canal
and destroy the work of years in a
few days. Moreover, we could un-
doubtedly occupy the State Of Cali
fornia and your entire Pacific coast,
and hold 1t against all comers for a
year or more
But after this, what? Japan
would be bankrupt, and we know it.
'MoreOver, Russia IN the north
with the knowledge Of this fact, and
with the engagement Of our armies
and navies on the American coasts
Russia would take advantage OF the
tact, drive us out of Manchuria, and,
sweeping down upon Nippon, might
drive our people out OF japan into
the sea.
Moreover the boundless re-
sources and energies Of your peopIo,
which | know as well as you do,
would rally, and in the sheer might
or numbers drive our armies from
che Pacific coast into the Pacific
ocean.
"Within three years there would
be no Japan"
While the story was being told,
however, there sat beside me an
a md ;,,ln
1T Will not do to trust too much
to the assurance Of Uchida, even in
the friendly atmosphere in which he
spoke. The Japanese are willy even
between drinks"
Japan is seeking now to negotiate
treaty with Russia to hold hands
Off
IF Japan could do this, then we
may expect an immediate change in
it's attitude.
The story has for me but a single
moral: Build more battleships,
strengthen our navy, and make our
coast defenses adequate for all emer-
gencies."
There are two schools" of
thought represented to-day in our
national legislative halls, the one
standing with the white-winged dove
OF peace ever in the foreground,
passing up all questions relating to
war or preparations for war as anti
quated and belonging to a time when
civilization was not as universal as
1T Is to-day. The other "school" still
clirSs to the safe old theory, "In
time of peace prepare for war" The
former is unquestionably school
whose principle we all hope to see
prevail, but in dealing with a nation
so willy and treacherous as that of
Japan 1T might not be amiss for our
government heads and Congress to
consider that in times past discretion
has proved to be of untold worth. Let
us preach peace, but let us not forget
that state Of preparedness for war
Is the strongest argument we can ad-
vance in favor of that much-desired
conditional least so far as it con-
Germs our own nation.
