Hunter. Just enough time has parsed for him and t(lic rest , to gtflf into working or dd;r, since his lirsi coming.

A man of vision is Mr. Hunter, but with all a very practical man. He sees many needs and wants them all, craves that all good things shall come to Cullowhcc; but he counts the cost, not slowly, but quickly, and if such needs may be had, lie with a loyal board will see that they are had. Many things ? are ' being added to the )fcjiree plants that were planned before Afr. Huntpr came namely the modern fireproof, Walter E.

The Champion Fiber Company is leading in organizing the timber and acid wood interests of this region in a fight to combat the disease, and has sent out letters to the. Armour Leather Company, at Chicago, Sylva Tanning C unpany, Sylva, Union Tan ning Compnny, Old Fort, Blackwood Lumber Co: ipanv, East La Porte, W. M. Hitter and Company, Columbus, 0., International Shoe Company, Moiganton, Gennett LumbcrCoinpanv Ashcville, and other industrial en terprises that are most vitally inter ested, calling for a meeting to or ganize the forces to wage the battle. It can be .seen at a glance the real danger that confronts this region, and in Jackson county, Where per haps is If ft the greatrac acreage of chestnut timber in the wprld, we arc particularly and vitally concerned. With proper lumbering methods the chestnut timber in this country will be an everlasting source of revenue and beauty, if we can keep the blight from upsetting all calculate i:s that have been made for the fuOc de velopment of Jackson County. Tips disease is a menace that threat, ns every activity of our people. Every man and woman in this re gion is vitally concerned. And this paper calls upon all the people to keep 011 the watch for the blight, re port it, and cut the trees that be come affected. The next general assembly will be asked to enact legislation allowing an affected tree to be cut on any body's land, anytime, anywhere, and to pass other legislation to assist ir. the fight. Tt present we can' only depend upon the good-sense of the people, who, if aroused to the danger to their home-land, will turn tlie trick. The following letter from Mr. E. L. McKce, president of the Sylva Tan ning Company, on the subject is il luminating, and of great interest. Me. 2)&a looijBkina, , , ^ Jackson County Journal, Svlva, X. C. Dear Dan: ? T nm sending yon a clipping from the Citizen and a lcttcT from Mr. Damtoft of tjjc Champion Fiber Company on tlio threatened destruction of our chestnut forests. I have the honor of being one of the committee to awaken the people so that some action may be taken to avert the destruction of 75 per cent of our forest area ofWestern North Carolina, turning this county into a wilderness. > I have known of this thjeateaned danger for a lon^ while but I have really become alarmed at the near approach of this terrible menace to our timber, our lands and our water power. \I will furnish you some bulletins as soon as they are received from the government and other propaganda. 1 would be very glad if you would inform yourself and through the columns of your paper ask the ]>eopic to watch out and report any siirn of this dreadful pest. When the trees are once killed tho sprouts that spring up afterwards are killed about the second year. It* some action is not taken by the go\ ei > ir state and our people oui foicsts are ffoing to be destroy ed. The spread of this disease is traveling from 3 to 5 years ahead of government forecasts.
