to be a sort of model community, the

A Stately Forest.
What changes a few years have
wrought in the forests. Forty years
ago there were miles upon miles of
long-leaf pine. While now a virgin for
est of this sort is so rare as to be a
curiosity. Last year Mr.. Henry Page,
Of Aberdeen, took his children on an
automobile trip to show them such a
forest, and a small one at that. One
such is yet preserved in Sampson

is owned by the burlington estate, the
will requiring that the trees be I'M
touched, SO that they have never been
cut for turpentine. In this stately
forest, embracing several hundred
acres, the men Of today gets an idea
of what the long-leaf pine country
!. used to be. 1t was remarked by DR..
Cooper and Col. Peterson, with whom
this visit was made, that it would be
!. a grand thing if the State would take
: over this forest and preserve it. or if
the United States would take that
; step. Now that Sampson county is
: under the stock law there will be a
: better chance for the pines of this
variety. for the hogs LAY DESTROYED
, many of them when young.
Speaking of the long leaf pine
brings to mind the fact that Henry
Page says he is convinced hat ther
= are pines of this variety which were
: cut down and went through his saw
mill which had stood for a thousand
: years in the forest. and in this view
. he is supported by high authority.
