Page Eight THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Vass, North THE TREES OF MOORE (Continued from Page 1) melody. The wood of this tree, when green, is very heavy, and sinks in water like a stone. Very limited use can be made of the wood in the arts, as it cracks with large fissures in season ing. The leaves of the Sourwood are a bronze green, rather sharply pointed and eliptical in shape, and shows to great advantage in front of the green of the other wood trees, especially as the autumn coloring begins to tint the summer verdure. Most forest trees can be spoken of in families: As the Oak Family, con sisting of a dozen or so varieties; the Hickories, the Maples, and so on. But there is, only one variety of the Sour- wood; nor is there any other tree in all the world akin to it, botanically; so from the standpoint of the tree biologists it is not only a hermit, but is one of our very oldest trees. Since it cannot logically be grouped with any other Moore County Tree, I would rather cut this letter short, than force an unnatural grouping in the same letter. slang-loving youth. It was this light-1 much are you willing to pay a year to hearted disposition, coupled with a strong sense of humor which enabled her to conceal life’s dregs by its form, and buffet Fate’s blows—laughing in the face of circumstances more often unkind than pleasing. Memory was to her a sweet-voiced companion, and on the harps of other days she sang melodies which crept into the hearts of others who, like herself, found pleasure in remember ing youth’s sunshine. Such was the gallant lady, lover of Nature, woman of letters, romanticist and beloved friend who has just passed from us. M. B. Lumberton, May 29. protect an industry that will produce an annual revenue in excess of three hundred thousand dollars? What oth er industry or business will pay as well with such a small annual up keep? Does the business of raising timber pay? With the foregoing facts before you I am in no doubt as to what your answer will be. GASTON CLUB BOY GOES TO WASHINGTON. STRAIGHT BUSINESS PROPOSITION (Continued from page 1) THE TASTE OF DEATH. The following is from The Char lotte Observer: To the Editor of The Observer: Some one has said that “The loss of a friend is a taste of death.” Only those who are, or have been, fortunate enough to have a friend en dued with unselfish devotion to truth and honor can fully apreciate the meaning of that statement. To live in close fellowship with a person of high honor and then walk with her to the verge of the grave, to watch simple one. Only keep the fires out of woodlands and nature herself will do all the planting necesary for you, and where this is done, it will cost you so little for re-forestation that you will not realize that you have spent anything. We value highest, as a rule, those things which cost us the most. I suppose that is why, in the past, so little value has been placed on the second growth provided by a bountiful nature. What value are we placing on it now ? What value will we have upon it in the fu ture? At Brown’s Mill, in your own coun ty, the business of raising and har vesting timber has been going on for a period exceeding a hundred and fifty years that we know about. The present owner, Mr. Turner Brown, has cut timber from his land all his life and there is plenty of timber left on his land. I said I would give you facts. Well, this fact can be authen ticated by Mr. Brown himself. Mere- seal on anything gives it standing. The fact that he sees in property there a sufficient inducement to back his judgment with his money will be regarded by many observing people as a value rating of the Knollwood proposition. Ralph figures on what Knollwood is doing and pre paring to do, and he knows enough of the Sandhills to be right sure of his conclusions. Friday, June 22, 1928 Potato growers of North Carolina have agreed to sell no cull or No. 2 Irish potatoes this season in an effort to improve the price for first grade tubers. The first club encampment for this season was the one held in late May at Camp Leach near Washington by Four-H club members of Pitt county. Sixty-five young people were present for the four days. death close the windows of the soul through which the light of life and | <>«* fi'es and cutting love has beamed for years, to see the lips that have spoken words of wis dom and related stories of the dear, dead past, closed forever, and then to watch the cold earth fold into its bosom the lifeless form of a friend— this is indeed “a taste of death.” Theodore Royster, of Bessemer City in Gaston County, has been selected as one of the two boys to represent the 16,000 Four-H club members of North Carolina at the second annual club encampment at Washington, D. C., June 21 to 26. Young Royster was selected after ^ Emmitt Turbyfill, of Catawba county, found that it would be impossible for him to make the trip. Emmitt has been very ill during the spring and there has been much sickness in his family. His successor, Theodore Roy ster, is also one of the outstanding club members and young rural lead ers to be found in North Carolina. He has been a club member for six years, according to his county agent, L. B. Altman, and he has done some excel lent work in the calf, pig and corn club projects. Last year, he made a net profit of $85 on his projects in addition to prizes amounting to $140 won as premiums on his pure bred calves. He now has about 500 in the bank, all of which was made from his club work during the past few years. Theodore has grown gradually in club work. At first, he was not very suc cessful but he has stuck to his pro jects and has won just acclaim for his results. The selection of this young farm boy completes the quartet of club boys and girls that will represent North Carolina at the national camp, states L. R. Harrill, club leader at , . j State College.

You can do as well. When we find that we have over three hundred and forty thousand acres of forest land in Moore County, 75 per cent of which is pro ducing timber or is in the process of producess, we can readily that this is a business that will bear a lot of thought. Can the forest owners of Moore County afford to throw away this opportunity for increased reve nue by failing to pay proper atten tion to it? It is safe to say that the forests of Moore County can be brought to yield an annual revenue in excess of three hundred thousand dollars. This can be done by keeping out forest fires and only allowing the cutting of mature timber. Save the young trees and you save the future timber supply. Neglect it and you are throwing away perfectly good dollars. Now what shall we do about the forests of Moore County. On the way in which the individual forest land owner answers this question de pends, not only the future timber sup ply, but the future prosperity and well-being of your county. A word in closing. Stand squarely in back of the men ot your State For est Service and the work they are do ing; and the splendid spirit of co operation shown by your able and far-seeing county commissioners. And one more thought to put before your progressive citizens in closing. How “tasted death” when she passed away. Only those who knew her personally realized that a great woman, worthy of wide recognition had dropped out of the procession and left a space that no other could fill. The blood of pioneers, warriors, saints and martyrs flowing through her veins produced in her soul a dual nature and a my stical charm that won for her friends of the highest type. It requires Faith to blaze new paths or stand alone on old ones. It takes courage for a gentle person to wield a sword in defense of his honor and rights; it requires some measure of all the virtues to be a saint, and a double portion to be a martyr. A person who possesses some of all these virtues, and yet curbs her am bitions to help friends around her is truly a great woman. Mrs. Harringrton grew to woman hood in an age and in a community that was noted for reverence for eld ers and superiors; and her humble, sweet life shines like a diamond com pared to some of the products of the age of higher learning and false free dom. A friend said of her: “Man’s personality is said to be made up of three forces: heredity, training and individuality. These three were strongly marked in the complex, con tradictory and wholly lovable char acter of Mrs. Harrington. On one side she was a lover of music, litera ture, poetry, science and philosophy; and on the other a carefree, Gypsy disposition, reveling in merry, gay, NOHUNEIITS & TOHBSTORES If you are interested in Monu ments or Tombstones, write ftocloBghani Narble Works ROCiONGHAN, N.
