"The wreck of Buffalo Bill's cir cus train a few yearn ago wa an event which will not bo forgotton by the people along the lines of the Southern Railway exclusively, no O' long as that road persists in a practical refusal to haul circus trains," said an out-of-town man yes terday. "You remembpr the accident proved so costly that the t ympany decided It didn't rare for any more of that kind of traffic, and ilxod the rate on it so high that cirruM travel Is prohibited. A larg tract of territory ts peopled with folks who are crazy crazy to see a .how of the big type A roving country show, traveling 'cross country, with one lion, om- bear, one pup sanit-r, and bo forth in working the section about Jredoll and thf people have been giving It a tre mendous patronage. Kvpn thor who knew what to expect went for the sake of the name of elrcus." 1 fSlie Was an Honest Woman. ' "Tell me not in mournful numbers that honesty Is to-day but a memory of other day," said a 'hrl'tte man yesterday. "Such pessimism was .Un proved this morning on a Southern train. A small Nation three miles from that at which the train wan made up va reached before the eonJuctor lln lsiied taking up tickets. A woman near th rear arose to leave the cur but paused, '.ieitating at the. door and stood there. "'Madam, don't you want to get off here?" bswlej tlm vonductor. "Ya,' she nodded vigorously In answer. ." 'Then hurry and u t off please, you're delaying the train." "The woman ,1M not Uudgc, but waved a yellow flip. The conductor understood, took the ticket in e'.iarge and tho la.ly alighted with a light step, and a clear conscietiev." Sir. J. A. HuiLm-V Itcw-tl .May He liroken. "Mr. J, A. Blakney utands a good show to fall behind this year In the production Of the tirat bale of new cotton," remarked a loading farmer of tho Providence section to an Ob server man yesterday. "While his crop ij in fine condition, he has not been so fortunate with the season as several others. There are four or live farmer In the lower section of thn ounty who are better fixed than Mr. Blakney to bring In Die lir.t ban. It is yet a question whether they will make any effort to break hlx record. If the weather In fair, Mecklenburg iH have Its first bale on the maiktt within tho next 10 day," Mr. Blakney's record has stood for tt years and It would he a pity If toe dropped out this year.

A step In a movement which is of vast Importance to this and other Southern States will be the address to be delivered In Charlotte the lat ter part of September by Dr. Thomas E. . Will, ' secretary of the .American Forestry Association, Of this organi sation Hon. James Wilson Is presi dents The address will be delivered with a view to bringing before the people of the South the vital Im portance to Its well being of the Southern Appalachian question. Dr. Will is an educator and public speaker of many years' standing. He will carry with him a fine set of lantern , alides with which, where a lantern and operator are provided, his lecture will be illustrated. It is expected also that he will meet and confer with leading citizens regard ing methods of promoting Interest in the Appalachian question President Roosevelt has declared, "The most vital internal problem of the United States Is the forest ques tion." Mr. James J. Hill says, "Irri gation and forestry are. the two sub jects which are to have a greater' ef fect on the future prosperity of the United States than any other public question, either within or without Congress." The possibility of Irriga tion is largely dependent on the preservation of forests. Literature being circulated by the Forestry Association, which Is In communication with the Greater Charlotte Club, states that the ques tion involves the two great necessities of wood and water. We are con suming wood three or four times as fast as we are. producing it. A wood famine Is almost In sight. The Appalachian area Includes the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the great ranges of the South. It touches the States of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee and affects the entire Ohio Valley. The Southern Appa lachians contain the heaviest and most beautiful hardwood forests of the continent Both practical and sentimental con siderations combine to . make the preservation of these forests of im perative importance. Congress has been repeatedly memorialized to bring to pass the creation of this park, but it is believed that by a complete arousing of latent public sentiment the object can be secured. The address of Dr. Will in Charlotte will be well worth while. SU Exhibition flumes of Ball rrob able. Umpire Harry Mace, of the South Atlantic League, at present at Au gusta, Ga., and well known in Char lotte baseball circles, has written to parties here to secure the Latta Park diamond for the week beginning Mon day, September Oth, and ending Sat urday, September 14th. He desires that there shall be played here nix exhibition games between two all-star teams made up from the South At lantic League, which disbands about the Kth. ThlB sounds good, for the grounds can be secured if desired. I The players concerned ought to put j up the fastest exhibition of ball playing Charlotte has yet seen. Prominent Kilulithlo Men Here.
