Notwithstanding National Forestry
Commission approved the purchase by
the government Of the Pisgah Forest
tract of the Vanderbilt estate near
Asheville, consisting of about $1,000
acres at SIS per acre or a total cost
of s433 ,551.3O
The tract contains most Of the Van
derbilt estate, the Vanderbilt family
retaining only about 400 acres about
Buck Spring Lodge and about 11,00O
acres around the family home.
A member Of the commission stated
that he considered the Pisgah Forest
tract to be the most attractive forest
in the country and although the price
was high he declared it was the
cheapest property yet bought for for
estry purposes.
The commission took up with Gov
ernor Craig a proposition to have him
secure legislation to have the State of
North Carolina cooperate with the
federal government to make the Pts
gah Forest a national game preserve
The government will retain the
name Pisgah Forest given the tract by
the Vanderbilts.

the Rotten Row of Madrid, only with
carriages of more genuine magnifi-
cence and with women whose beauty
is world-famous.
At night the crowd in wagons and
on foot shifts slowly from the Retro
and the Prado up the broad Alcala,
past the high, projecting palace of the
minister of war and the new Bank of
Spain, or through the other streets
which lead up into the city. The men
fill the cafes, then they go to the the
aters, and finally to the club or eve
ming party, the latter being a promi-
nent feature of the city's domestic
life
The Retro or Park of Madrid is one
of the most beautiful pleasure
grounds in Europe. 1t is not so neatly
kept up as the Thiergarten of Berlin,
but on account of the architectural
rightly of the design, the splendOr OF
the forest growth, the large lake, and
the broad, open plaza near shaded al
leys and walks-above ALL on account
of it's high position over the valley OF
the Prado-it excels the public gar
dens of other large cities.

People travel long distances and

baths because for generations sulphur
has been known to be one of natures
most valuable curatives unequalled as
a blood purifier. BY dissOlving to 4
tablespoonfuls of Hancock's Sulphur
Compound in a hot bath you get the
same effect and your system absorbs
the sulphur through the pores of the

PROUD OF MADRID
Citizens of Spanish Capital Take
Great Pride in City.
Metropolis Has Lost Much Of Its Old
Peculiar Picturesqueness-C
Handsome Buildings, Fine Parks,
Drives and Public Gardens.

London.-"From Madrid to heaven,
Madrid" sums up in a sentence the
pride of the Inhabitants of the Spanish
capital. True, cosmopolitan Madrid,
as it exists today, has lost much of the
old peculiar picturesqueness, but few,
II any, of the great capitals contain
more really handsome buildings, finer
parks, drives and public gardens.
whole new city has arisen outside
the old boundaries, plaster has given
place to stone and marble, and the
statues, which so plentifully adorn it's
plazas, are almost all works of art,
and worthy of their position. Electric
lights and street cars are everywhere
The viaduct, markets, hospitals, public
buildings of all kinds, the palace-now
one of the finest in Europe-hotels
and private houses furnished with ev-
cry modern luxury, form veritable
transformation scene, even for those
who remember the capital as recently
as in the time of Isabel II
In Madrid all roads lead to the
Puerta del Sol, the Piccadilly Circus
OF the Spanish capital on which, or
in whose vicinity, are situated the ho-
tells. Ten streets radiate from the
plaza, within which, from morning to
evening, and through the night itself,
the never-resting life of a great part
of the populace wears itself out with
recreation. Noise and disquietude are
it's elements of life. You will see mo-
tor wagons and clumsy carts drawn
by oxen, the groaning barrel wagon
neWsboys running and shrieking
crowds promenading or sitting and
standing before the cafes-a life an6
animation of irresistible charm to the
visitor.
All types of Madrid's population may
be seen here, from the bull fighter to
the great legislator. American ant

Map Of Soils is Ready.

MdP OF SoIIS Is HedOy.
Dr. B. w. Kilgore, state chemist
and director of the soil survey and test
farm work, says the soil map for
Bladen county is just completed max
ing about one-third of the state now
surveyed and mapped as to types of
soil. The work is now being pushed

1t is estimated that 10 years will be
required to complete this work with
the cooperation of the state depart
ment of agriculture and the United
States department as now organized
for the work.
This map of the soils is being fol-
lowed up by the department with
analysis of the soils and with spec
ial experiments on all new types OF
soil as to the best means of cult
walton and crops best adapted. Spe-
cial bulletins as to these are being
issued, that on the mountain soils
being already out and being used to
great advantage by the farmers Of the

are four other special bulletins now
