" The coming of Mr. Enos Mills, an authority on forests ana forest pres-r . fciTatlon, who haa an engagement to deliver an address at the Helwyn Ho- 'ei Friday night under the auspices tit the Woman's Club and the Greater Charlotte Club, has directed attention anew to the Importance of concercea action on the part of cltlxens living in the drainage area of thou streams beading In the Appalacnian moun tains to the urgent need of action by Congress looking to a preservation of the forests on theso mountain sides. Mr. Giffort Pinchot, chief of the Unit ed States forest service, is perhaps the leading advocate of such action by Congress. In an address before the Southern commercial congress at its recent session, Mr. Pinchot said: "The Southern Appalachians are of profound .commercial Importance for timber supply, water power and navigation and there Is a close Inter dependence between the three. The v ater powers cannot fee fully utilised nor can the streams be employed for navigation unless the foreats are kept on the mountains and unless those lands which are kept In tillage are handled so that the soil Is not wash ed a ay. To mafco the most of the it gum is, therefore, a problem of en gineering, of agriculture and of for estry, and it concerns all classes of our people the manufacturer, tho farmers, the railroads; In fact, it concerns every one In those regions who can profit by cheap power, and the safety of aKricultural land and crops has a vital Interest In the South ern Appalachians and what happens to them. "The Southern Appalachian region is of direct industrial consequence, first, for what it can produce. Its obief product Is hardwood timber. Appalachian States. North and South, produce nearly half of our hardwood supply. Hardwoods In other regions, such as the Lake States and in the lower Mississippi valley, grow upon BKrlcultural lands. Those lands will be cleared almost as fast as the tlm ' ber is cut. The Appalachian region, en the other hand, except for the valleys, Is not mainly agricultural. Therefore, It is the only rexion which can permanently yield hardwood lim 'hrr. It is not now producing any thing like what it can produce or anything like what the country needs. It is capable of producing forty or fifty cubic feet of wood per acre per annum. On account of fires and bad cutting, it is probably not producing more than ten. And we must have IiardwoodB, or suffer for the lack of them. I could not enumerate their uses In half a day. HEAD OF KIVKR 8YHTHMS. "The Southern Appalachians fur nish the source waters of a number of Important river systems, which afford the possibilities of immense power production. The geological survey finds that the southern Appa lachian streams will produce a mini mum of 2,700,000 horse-power, or taking as the basis of the six hlfth- .,..- V, .. n.urti. A. .a million horse-power per annum would be worth to Southern Industries $38,000. 000 a year. Probably less than a h If million Is developed as yet. Water power to the value of J38.000.000 a year actually used would give the South a tremendous impetus, not alone In manufacturing, but In trans portation. In lighting and In develop ment of every kind. Water power is valuable even where coal Is cheapest, but it is most valuable to those sec tions which have no deposits of coal, and Its advantages will steadily In crease as the supply of coal grows scarcer and the price higher. "All the waters gathered In the Southern Appalachians flow to the sea through navigable channels. The heavy rainfall and the steep slopes lead to a very rapid run-off. Further more, there are no natural lakes for storage. If the flow were uniform the amount of water discharged by these streams Is sufficient to make their Importance for navigation very high. But the run-off is variable. Moreover, the variability is increas ing. PREVENT FLOODS. "Every one of the Southern Appa lachian streams of -which we have sufficient authentic record shows that floods are more frequent and of greater duration since the water sheds have been heavily cut and se verely burned. Excessive low waters, too, are increasing In length and fre quency. The forest was the only natural influence which tended to equalize the (low. Even on steep slopes the forests served the purpose of changing the water from surface to underground drainage. When the forest is cut away, the water, instead of betng absorbed, is thrown off Into streams In floods. With the rush of the water down the slopes the soil is rapidly and steadily carried away. The gullied condition of the moan tain fields is a familiar one. The soil which nature put upon those fields has been washed away and it becomes more and more difficult to keep the lower courses of the streams open for navigation." WORTH CAROLINA IEADS, Textile World Rerord Compiles 6om Interesting Figures as to the Mill Construction During: Uie Past Year North Carolina Tops the List. The Textile World Record has just compiled Its annual report on mill construction during 1808 which af fords some Interesting facts. It fol lows: "The number f new mills built In the United States in 1908 Is smaller than for any one of the previous years; two hundred and twenty-two as compared with two hundred and sixty-two In 1007. The smallest num ber on record next to this year is two hundred and forty-five In 105. The decrease In the new mill con struction Is, of course, due to the fi nancial conditions ' which prevailed, during the early part of this year and which were not auoh as to In vite Investment of new capital. In every branch of the Industry there were . fewer mills built- than . in . the previous year, with the exception of the knitting branch; In that department- there have beel a number of new mills started up la the last six months. , "The silk industry, which 4n U9T showed a large increase in construc tion over the previous year, shows a marked falling off in 1908. only IS new mills started as compared with SI in 107. The silk industry, like til -knittLiui .branch, rrtie Jat ffciew York. New Jersey and Pennsyl vania. "North Carolina takes the lead in new cotton mill construction with 15 mills, but of smaller aerage size, as fchown by the total number 'of spin dles, 52,693 less than half the num ber In the two large Massachusetts mills under construction and soon to be completed. "The new woolen mills are none of them large and most of them are for manufacturing worsted yarns or wor sted tabrics. "The knitting mills, as usual, phnw the greatest increase In the Middle States, New York and Pennsylvania taking the lead, but there is an un usual numbar of scattering mills through the Western .States, and j North Carolina has nine new knitting I mills to its credit. "The detailed report of the new mill construction may be studied with Interest: liesldes the sun tl new mills It will be noted that in en- j largements and Improvements, whi.ti I are classed as new mills, there is tai- ! ly as much increase In inaii"it.o im nig uapaclty as in new enierpi i. .

'The study of the mlsci-TTaneoiiH new enterprises Is particularly inter e.tlng as showing the tendency to ,. . n : -,., in dllTerent branches and Uie indica tion of new uses for textile tabrics. Taken altogether the record of mill construction is larger than would have been thought possible at the be ginning of the year and indicates a healthy growth and confidence for the future."

New York, Jan. 3 Satisfaction with tha solid achievement of the year pat and conhrli rice In the promlso of the fu ture are the feelings of the financial com munity on the threshold of the new year. Tha effective expression of this feeliriK Is found In a level of prices of ecurities near the hitchest for the clos of the year and higher, in fact, than for twenty months past As a register of the meas ure of this past achievement the stock market possesses less Interest than In its function of anticipating by speculation the course of events to come. That the past chie emrnt is fully reflected in the extent of the advance In prices which has Mcurred Is the acrejited opinion of all competent observers. The brightest hopea are based on the complete restora tion of credit which has occurred and tha renulting od Investment demand. The rpid absorption of bond Issues Is the substantial evidence of this condition. It is a condition of vital importance to the further work of rehabilitation to he done before the full measure of former pros purity Is restored The period of depres sion of the past year has been given over to a drastic pruning of expense account, at every point. With the" excellent' demand for Invest ment now and the abundant money mar ket resources which are looked for early in the new year, very large resources are expected to be placed at the command of the great railroad and industrial cor poration for resumption of suspended and pottponed outlays. The quickening effect of this Influence is expected to be felt throughout the world of industry and business tn enhanced consumptive de mand for all grades of produce and mer chandise The stock market for some time part has been full of rumors of changing control of minor railroad sys tems, which the coming period of bond flotation Is expected to disclose. With the future presenting such poten tial prospects oT growth and Improve ment, It h not to be supposed that far seeing aaj deeply Informed capital Inter est should have waited for the actual event to prepare to take advantage of it. There haa been enormous accumulation, of securities on behalf of the largest capital lntsrests all through the past year and that 8ie advance In prices has been encourage by these powerful Interests j has been the conviction of Wall Street ior monins. Large participation In coming new cap ital issues en the part of these same In terests is to be expected. A process of conversion from present holdings Into these new issues would be a plausible supposition, preparation to take advant age of the good investment demand and the coming ease of money have b.en very large both ier9 and abroad. Th extent! to which the revision of the taritT in prospect may serve to unsettle 'business la. expectation of price changes Is a subject (of some uneasy conjecture.

Tho annual exports of manufactures of cotton are declared to be subject to wide fluctuations, those for 190 amounting to $2u,177.7.W, or less than one half the value value more than fSn.OOO.OOO.

There were efforts made during the year to demoralize the primary market but these failed for the reason that the mills had no heavy ac cumulations and siw to It that they did not create goods to hold In stock. For ward orders that called for January and February delivery were charged up at the contract price.
