Hutchison was very painfully hurt in a runaway accident which befell him and his wife yes terday afternoon shortly before 7 o'clock as they were driving up the Boulevard. The negro who hitched the team had changed the bits and Air. Hutchison was unable to hold the ' horse. When they reached the Ath erton Mill It seemed that the animal was merely pulling against the bits and Mr. Hutchison dll not become alarmed until he had driven far into the city. There being so few indica tions that the horse was unruly, little attention on the part of passers-by was engaged until the team approach ed Morehead street. The horse gradually Increased Its yiace and Just at the Intersection of Morehead and South Tryon. a street . car was encountered, the buggy striking the fender and front of the car. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hutchison were thrown to the ground, but the Utter sustained only slight bruises. Tha buggy was detached by the col lision and Mr. Hutchison wa picket p between the car end the broken vehicle, bleeding profusely auj v'th every appearance oi being dangerous ly hurt.

Mills, the Natural For estry Expert, Peers Into the o tore. , ' , At the conclusion of his brilliant address, made before the Atlanta mass meet in sr. January 1 6th. on" "Forestry Perpetuation," Enos A. Mills, of the United Statu forestry department, made the prophecy that In fifty years from now the report made by the forestry department of the government would do aooui follows: Th natlnnal forests are now In an excellent condition and the annual wood crop Is Increasing. VForeat fires, once frequent damaging, are now jncommon ra.relv rtn. thp do any damage. and and "The area of commercial forests In the United States exceeds 4,uot.u. 000 acres, some of this owned by In riivlrliinla. a. Small nortion by the gov ernment. but the greater portion by the States. Every State in tne union is now maintaining a commercial tor est: the waste lands are all tree cov ered. The States of Texas and Penn sylvanla lead in largeness of area, and have more than 10,000.000 acres each. The Southern States produce timber of the best quality and grow it more speedily and profitably than any other section of ihe country, and most of the Southern States will, in a few vears. increase their acreage "All forested land is now paying well, with the exception of the old bad lands of Dakota, and the once so called deserts of Nevada. These were forested only twenty years ago, but they will be self-supporting inside of a few years. "Every one is now so appreciative of forestry that it Is Inconceivable that only fifty years ago most people were indifferent to it. and that many people even - opposed tne zorestry Idea, - "Our saw mills now have a regu lar supply of timber, and so, too, have the Increasing number of wood working plants. Although the western part of the national forest were first selected, the last part of the original seems to be the best. This portion was known as the South Appalachian section. This area Is now so splendidly forested that one cannot believe the photo graphs which show its scarred and desolate places a generation ago. By the streams that flow from it are the world's largest cotton and wood man ufacturing establishments. This section has long since ceased to produce floods. The trees now stand in sufficient numbers - on - Its slopes to enforce the old rule of the forest. And this is to allow gravity only as much water to carry to the bottom of the slopes and land there In a crystal clear condition." Rate Discrimination Cae. Mr. T. C. Guthrie has gone to Raleigh to appear in the presenta tion of the case Instituted against the railroads by the WinHton-Salem board of trade, alleging discrimina tion in freight rates in favor of Vir ginia cities. Charlotte merchants are extremely interested In this case on account of its vital effect upon business interests generally through out North Carolina. The late action of some Virginia cities in this mat ter, notably the effort to Join In the rase and fight with the railroads. aroused the State merchants and many individual associations passed strong resolutions of condemnation. The case comes up to-day. ' Board of Elections Called Together. Chairman A. Morris McDonald yes terday Issued a call to the board "f Oeclions to meet at the court housa to-morrow morning for the purpose at naming registrars and Judges for the prohibition election, which takes place in May. The board as now con stituted Is composed of Mr. McDon ald and Mr. W. S. Caldwell, of Hunt- ersvllle, no successor to the late Mr. George Sadler, who was the third member, having yet been named.

Trade St., CHARLOTTE, X. C C. H. WIUIOTH, Ilgr. TUNING hut ' CATHOfJC BlSffOP IX CITY. Bishop 'of Cebu, In the Philippines, the Guett of ' Charlotte People leaves To-Day For Rome to Make Report to ie 1'ope. Monsignor Thomas Augustus Hen drick. bishop of Cebu, Philippine Islands, was a distinguished visitor in the city yesterday, the guest of Drominent Charlotte Catholics. lie will leave this morning for New York, whence he will sail-for Rome to make his official report before the pope on the condition of his diocese. Bishop Hendrick. who has been on a few days' visit- to; me monastery at Belmont, will be ac companied on his return by Father Remenlex, who Is the first Philippine Driest. Father Remenles waa under Blshoo Hendrick and has since been a student at St. Mary's. That he has shown ability In the work to which he is devoted is known by Charlotte,, people who recall that he was tor a time in , cnarge oi m. Peter's Catholic church, during the absence of Father Joseph. HlshoD Hendrick Is a most in teresting personage. At the time he received the appointment, about five years ago, to the Philippines from the pope he was a priest and one of the regents of the University of New York, at Rochester, N. x. Tne ap pointment was made. It is said, at the express request of President Theodore Roosevelt, of whom the bishop Is a very close friend. The latter presided over the large meet ing given in Mr. Roosevelt s honor when he was nominated for Governor of New York. It is said that the President pays more attention to the reports which Bishop Hendrick gives of the far Eastern country and its people than even to the reports of the Governor General of the Philip- pines or any one else. The diocese of ' Cebu contains in the neighborhood of -$,000,000 peo ple, more by far than are in North Carolina, a Ad all practically, of course, are Catholics. This gives an Idea of the extent of his bishopric. Monslgnor Hendrick, who is about 65 years of age, Is a man of vast learning, wide reading, a close stu dent of men and of current events. There are few people in the country who are more accurately Informed as to the trend of things, certainly none more reliable observers of af fairs in the East The bishop was shown many courtesies during his brief stay in the city. He was entertained by Father Joseph, by Mr. and Mrs. T, C. Toomey and Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Williams. IVTER-CLASS BASKETBALL. Fnlr Students at Elizabeth College Getting Into Training Frlemi Will Be Invited Next Week. r There Is something doing In the basketball line at Elisabeth College these days. The Initial start was made Wednesday with a game be tween the freshmen and the Juniors. Yesterday the seniors went up against the sophomores, being downed by he second year players. The series of games have been planned with a view partly of testing the strength of the college in baoketball this year and the prospects for Inter-collegiate games may depend in some measure on the showing made. The young ladles themselves are exceedingly anxious to Join battle with some' op posing college,- but the . necessary permiHftlon of the administrative committee is lacking. This must he won ere the spectacular contests of last spring which were events of such Interest to all who attended can possibly be repeated. A series will be played next week between ' the seniors and the specials," to which the friends and patrons of the institution will be in vited. No definite decision has been made yet as to the date or dates. Announcement will be made later. Those upon whom devolves the duty of looking after the athletic Interests pf the students are highly pleased at tno progress being made. Roth of the ' games thus far played have been marked by snap, vim and enthusiasm and good attendance of spectators has contributed .In no small degree to the Interest.
