The above figures are eloquent
testimony of importance and stabil-
ity of mining, which is one of the
worlds oldest basic industries. With
out mining we could not have at
tanned our present highly indus
trialized and civilized life. If the
metals were taken away from us
now our civilization would decay.
Why is the success of mining SO
highly assured?
It is because ore (the metals) are
wealth in its primary form. Wealth
SO held in natures storehouses (the
earth) can't be stolen, can't be dam
aged by fire, does not wear out and
does not become obsolete.
Hence, investment in proved
ore-producing mine appears to be
one of the safest forms of invest
ment.-Exchange.

Judge Carr Pleases

Judge Leo Carr has proved him.
self a popular jlrist during the two
weeks he has jI>t concluded in
holding superior court IN this
county. To say tkat 4 Judge has
pleased the bar ana the public could
be juggled into an Interpretation
that he is Il mollycoddle, Shifter
and all things to everybody. But
the term could not rightly be ap-
piled TO the Burlington juri>t.
Judge Carr has had some hard
work to do here. and time or two
has found himself sorter between
the devil and the deep blue sea. His
decisions may not have met with
universal approval. and tor that
matter have not. but the impression
is that he has eudeavored to mete
out justice as he saw it.
This jlriSt is comparatively
young man on the bench, and most
such office-holderS have an eye to
the future and conduct themselves
accordingly To be sure. quarters
where justice is being administered
is no place 10 play politics, but it
is we'll known that in all too many
instances that happens. Our obSer-
walton of Judge Carr is that he does
about as little of that as any OF the
less mature men on the bench.
II he is possessed OF gushing emo

for the Department Of Conservation
and Development.
A good start is being made towards
the reforestation of this land, since
more than 100000 young forest
trees were planted during the winter
of 1878 while approximately T.
100000 seedlings were planted this
winter. Claridge said. OF this num-
Der, approximately 100000 were
grown in the two state nurseries
maintained by the Division Oh rOr-
estry OF the Department OF CConser-
walton and Development.
I'VE received orders for fully l.
100000 more seedlings than we were
able to supply. which indicates that
the farmers OF the st4te are becom-
ing more conscious of the value OF
trees and forests and that they are
at last actively interested in plant
ing trees on their vacant land,
Claridge said This is very en-
couraglng indication and we are now
planting enough tree seed to grow
at least 100000 seedlings in our
nurseries this year for distribution
next winter, provided the bugs and
worms Go not get into the seed beds"
The farmers in North Carolina now
need minimum OF 100000 cords
OF wood year for fuel and for cur
ing tobacco, of which 100000 cords
are needed for tobacco curing alone,
Claridge pointed out. The paper pulp
mills IN North Carolina and neigh
boring states are buying at least $780,
900 cords Of pulpWood year from
North Carolina farmers and land
owners and will buy more in the flu
ture if they can get it, Many farm
ers have a wood reserve on their
farms to supply with fuel for only
three to ten years more, Claridge
pointed out.

A Distinct Service

State Treasurer Johnson has done
scores OF counties, cities and towns
in North Carolina a distinctive serV-
ice in re-financing burdensome debt
OBLIGATIONS accumulated over a
long period of years, most Of them
at high interest rates and many IN
arrears to bondholders.
Seven years ago, on March l.
1888, in the darkest days OF the de-
preston. there were, according 10
the treasurer's own account OF the
situation, So counties and l52 cities
and towns in default on their obll-
cations. Today. with the exception
Of nine counties and 80 small towns,
all have been re-financed. OF the
latter figure. there are only TWO
counties and - towns not in pro-
cess OF being re-financed.
Mr.. Johnson functioned as dlrec-
tor of the Local Government Com
mission. one of host Of offices
whose duties have been piled on
him. He set out to perfect plans
for re-financing under voluntary
agreements between local units ana
their creditors. Where units could

Mr.. Johnson says interest charges
amounting to Sl6.OOO.0O0 have been
saved TO those units for whom re-
financing has been completed, and
the Job is not finished yet. In the
past four years. more than $780,
900 par val,,e of bonds have beer
retired for S2.772.000, or an aver
age cost OF about II cents. This
represents saving on these trans
actions Of SJ.529,170.
Deals Of this kind are not always
to the advantage Of the security
holders. They swap high interest
bonds for lower ones. but at that
get more net income from the IN
yeStment than perhaps they could
nearly anywhere else. Further,
they do get something in the stead
Of defaulted obligations. True
enough. the units are falling down
on their original pledges to pay,
which may be another creature OF
these times.
Since the bondholders have will

and in view of their great benefit
IN t,x-nav,e,.S treasurer Johnson
can properly lay claim to perform
ance of a worthy service to the
counties. cities and towns OF North

better off all the way around be-
