• THE WAsTE OK TIMBER.
We hare more than Mien within tlu j
las'. twelve month? called ationtion to
the destruction of timber in clearing j
land throughout this county. It was
only last week thai wc wore lu tbo ncigh
iborbood where a clearing had been made
by wbioh one-hundred and fifty log
lheaps Vad beeu cousumed. While this
.woeful waste of timber is going on in
this county the papers in some sections
.of the State are advocating the neeil of
replenishing our wealth of forest by
planting desirable kinds of timber.
The second annual Forestry Congress
.of the Southern States met recently at
l)e Funiak Springs, Ark. The Wil
mington Star has said : "Thu Le^is-;
lature ought to appoint a Tree Planting
Day for this State, or instruct the liov- j
emor to do it." We believe tho Salis
bury M atchman suggested last year that 1
this State have an Arbor Day, that is
a day appointed for planting trees in
tins' State, like they have in Pennsylva
nia. It is the day the people in that
State devote to plan ting trees, shrubs,
etc.,where none grow, and to beautifying
tbtir homes, their villages and towns
The destruction ot the forests- by clear
ing in the past —has brought sterility,
siokness, droughts, where there wcio
formerly rich fruitfulness, health, and
rainfall distributed throughout the year.
The Salisbury Watchman lias said :
"If such a day ware observed by plan
ting waluut, hickory, aslie, poplar, tnaple
cherry, locust, cedar and othqr valuable
trees, our wealth of forest would be
continually replenished. Wc own it to
posterity let us have an Arbor Day."
In regard to the care and preservation
of the forests of the State of New York
the New York Sun fiist year said :
"It involves the protection of Ihc
sources of our most important streams
by preserving in them an equable flow
The destruction of the forests loaves
them subject to floods in time ot heavy
rains and of melting snow, and deprives
them of their duo supply of water during
the greater part of the year. This not
only has a disastrous effect upou navi
gable streams, kut seriously affects the
fertility of cultivated lands along all the
streams and on all the slopes areund tin
forests regions. Tho climate is made
subject to violent changes and the health
and comfort of the people are materially
affected.
A STEEL OAK.
The result of the late awful accident
mt White River on the Vermont Central
Railway,
by which seventy-five persons
lost their life, has directed attention to
the probable merit of a non-coiubustible
steel car now in process of construction
at Boston. Many were unhurt by the
aocident on tke bridgo but were burnt
to death by tho cars taking fire from the
stoves. We intend to giic a descrip
tion of this car, which combines novelty
of plan and materials, with a new method
of heating, in our next issue.
Mr. Burr Higgins, near Greensboro,
N. 0., some years since explainnd to
this writer bis idea of constiuctiug a car
of steel bars arranged in a diagonal
form. Mr. Iliggins claimed a consid- j
erable saving of dead weight in a car so
.constructed over the wooden cars now
in use. The plan struck us as possess
ing sufficient merit to warrant its prac
ticability being tested, and this writer
bad arranged to have the subject brought
to the attention of the Pennsylvania
Hailroad, but Mr. Higgins did not !
subsequently entertain the proposition
with sufficient interest to actuate him to
jprepare designs and working details
of his idea and the matter was.dropt.

Tho grass has assumed a frcih emer
ald hue, the cotton trees are tassclod,
the peach trees are budding, and the
birds are twittering gleefully, though
there have bc©u comparatively few ro- i
b»ns here this season and our festive
sporting boys have becu deprived of the
goodly amount of gunniug tho birds af
forded them last spring. The plaintive 1

HARD TIMES.
i Tho ery of ' hard times" conies up
from every quarter of our land, — North
i South, East, and West. Few venture
to express an opinion as to the causa of
ibis state of things. We do not pre
tcud to any more knowledge of the cause
( than others, but when wc think of the
i vast amount of money that lies hoarded
j in the Treasury run! Subtreusurics of tho
United States wo cau but consider that
there i.i a lack of statemanship on the
. pari of our law makers that coiupara
, lively so little money is in circulation
in the country. Nor do wo seo how it
will be otherwise while Congress is made
' up of millionaires who work all tho while
: | in the interest of monopolies of which
' they arc, in many instances the head.
11 We can but sigh for a man or party
! that will work for the interest of the
i poople. It see.i sto be the idea of our
F politicians—we have no statesmen, or
. else they are in tho background—that
if they could succeed in getting tho tar
i iff reduced all would bo well. Now the
only effect that would come from" the
, reduction of the tariff would bo to bring
our manufactures into competition with
those made by the seifs of Europe, and
.. to cause our manufacturers to close
. tbeir mills aud factories, and thus to
i throw out uf employment thousands of
, | hands who depend on their labor foe dai
,| ly bread. Not one in ten of ihc labor
| ing class in agricultural districts would
, | experience any change if tn» tariff' were
| reduced. Let's have tariff for protoc
,, tion—to place our manufactures oa an
j pqnal footing with cheap labor in otliei
j countries, but abolish the internal Kev
! entie. 11 is oppressing the people every
J where in this great country and without
11 any reason considering the vast amount
jof money that lies hoarded up in our
national tieasuiies. As wo have al
! ways said, tile I arty that can claim the
, 1 credit of raising this curse from the
j ! people's shoulders will control this gov
ts : eminent foi twenty years to conio, foi
J i wherever you find voters, you liud men
I who chew tobacco and drink whiskey,
1 and thoy are the fellows who pay this
* | useless tax. But to couie home to our
I section, onu great cause of the hard
1 jliinus in the the South is our one crop
s | system. Agricultural districts could
I get along with little money if they would
I
y ; make their home supplies at home, but
Jas long as wo risk everything on on ■
g crop, whether that be cotton or tobacco,
'i we are threatened with being stamped
| Wo must say that our bri thi'eii of the
c 1
! press especially in the tobacco towns,
! have contributed more than any other
u | cause to bring about the demoralize ion
h! in oar staple (tobacco). We puff and
y blow over those men who '*ot $25 to
| $75 per hundred for their tobacco and
jin this way encourage farmers who
should raise cotton, corn, potatoes or
t I ground peas, to quit a paying business
I and go into raising tobacco. The result
s is the supply now exceeds the iltm>in l.
I We do nqt publish in our price list the
s j fact that thousands on the top of tens
lof thousauds of pounds of toliacco are
I selling in our market at twenty-five cts.
', to a dollar per hundred. We learn
t that a firm in Louisville, Ky., delivered
■ | 400 hogsheads of tobacco at 50 cts. per
. hundred. Now any one who can sell
r tobacco out of au oakeu box knows that
I tobacco at such a price will most cer
i taiuly cause hard times, and biing us
to beggary. The same report from
' t which we derive (he atovo information
1 says that two firms spent $50,',00 each
last year to bring their tobacco into
competition wilh Virginia and North
j Carolina in the South. Ihis is another
instance that goes to show tho oppress
ion the Internal Revenue law i» inflict
ing upon our people, foi if thesj heavy
firms (monopolies), made so by the laws,
were nut making largo per cunts on this
cheap tobacco, they could not pay such
sums to introduce their goods. Then
wc say again that if we had statesmen
J to make our laws instead of politicians,
they would do away with this oppress
ive system, that only builds and fosters
I monopolies, and give all an equal sliow
i | ing As to the people of Stokc>, wo
] offer them the following words of advice,
save every shovel full of home madi
inauure you possibly can, it will be
; money to your children when you arc
gone, use fertilizer only when you are
sure it will pay, make every thing you
possibly can that your family uses at
i home, and do not touch tobaoco unless
you fto reasonably suro (hat you can
; make it fine, with tobacco in Kentucky
: it 50 certs per h'mdred pounds if yen
have sense ououg to go in cit of the
1 rain wl.e i.your house door m open you
1 know that it will not pay to grow com
| moil tobacco here.

1 with last year's crop ia so. bad that j
" j there will bo a very small crop pitched :
,; there this year. The piices given for!
, s tobacco by the warehousemen have J
lulcd so low that the tobacco farmers!
j are disgusted, while they have to pnv I
" just as high as ever for fertilisers, of!
P j which they used, iast year, an extra
I omount. Three ccuti a pound is the ,

brings teu eeois and the bright leaf]
that ought to be sold for 50 cents is 1
considered to be at tho top of the mar-j
