Introduce* Resolution* North Carolina Forest Can Supply Necessary Timbers. < Owing to tlie scarcity of New Kngland Koruce Pine and the threatened further rise in the price of print p?per, the North Carolina Press Association, co operating with promoters of u proposed pa per mill in North Carolina, pass ed resolutions memorializing the Stole Legislature U> pa?* such law* as wi'l# proper(l.v protect and pre serve the forests of the Slate. The resolutions were offered by Mr. Z. \V Whitehead, of Wil mington, and were as follows: Whereas, North Carolina pro duces the greatest varieties of woods known to originate in anv of the States in the Union, not withstsndint long snd short leaf pine predominates snd is the most valuable a*-j merchantable'Mimmod ity;and whereas, tbe prosecution of the sawinil' and lumber industry of the Stale is rapidly denuding our lands of tlieir forest growth and resources, in a larue measure because of the lack of forestry conservation in its intelligent and practical application, in our midst such as practiced in other parts of the Doited States tod Continental Europe; and whereas, the failure on our part to properly safeguard and protect our pine and hardwood forests resulted in the loss and de struction of two million one hun dred and ninety five thousand dol lars of standing timber in the State of North Carolina during the months of March, April, and May of the present year,which is lost forever. As standing timber is a commodity the insurance compan ies will not insure against, and, therefore, all, or lagely all, of this immense loss might be avert ed in apart, at least, had we taken time by the forelock and secured the enactment of needy forestry laws by our State legislature; and, whereas the timber aod lumber re sources of North Carolina are among the State's most valuable assets, furnishing employment to twenty odd thousand adult em ployes and millions of capital the year round, as well as supplying a market for many of the products of the farm', the field, the factory, or chard and vin e.vard, and garden; and whereas forestry conservation can only be had and achieved by and through enactment of the proper forestry laws by the in coming Legislature, whereby for est fire wardens may be appointed for each county in the State hav ing a sufficient supply of standing timber to justify the expense of petroling the same, with power ami authority to appoint subordin ate fire warden* for each township in all such counties, who in turn shall be clothed with oroper authority to summons and enforce additional help with which to ex tinguish forest fires and prevent their spreading, by back firing and and other practical methods; and. whereas, it has been demonstrated ih?t in practically all of Eastern North Carolina the forest growth of short leaf pine is so great that timberlands cut out every ten years, when properly protected against forest fires, will produce | itself as rapidly that the same lands be profitably nut over each ten years, yeilding anywhere from two to five thousand feet per acre, according to the siie of trees cut across the stump at time; and, whereas, such practical forestry would enable the paper manufact ure!* to seek location for their pufp and paper mills in North Car ol in* and other Southern States, near the base of supplies and raw material, )u?t as the cotton milts TO INSPECT ICE CREAM . " I The Department of Agriculture whose duty it ia to enforce the State food lawa baa apent a good deal of time tn effort to cauae the ice cream dealera of the State to comply with them. If your product ia not standard ice cream, then you must show to .your cuatomera by placard in your plyce of buaineaa or a tag or label on the freezer or package that the product you sell ia not ice cream but a 'compound ice cream or aomething sold awa aubistitute for ice cream, provided for by the ice| cream regulation. The regulation provides for the sale of products tliat are not stand ard ice cream. If the regulation is not complied with the officials will lake it to mean that you are selling your product as ice cream. Ice cream can not be made from milk. To make ice cream requir es not less than three or three and one half pirta of cream to one imrt of milk. The proportion of cream and milk that can be used depends upon the richness of them; that ia, urou the milk fat that they contain. Inspection will be made soon and place where ice cream is made or sold must be clean and in sani tarv condition. As yet no prosecutions have been made of the ice cream dealers but they have been given ample opportunity to comply with the law, and in the future violations will have to be reported to the courts. of the Northern and New England State* have found it necessary to seek locations for their manufac turing plants ir. the South nearer the cotton fields and base of sup plies of the raw material, out of which their manufactured product is produced, upon the *ame prin ciple that trade follows the flag; and, whereas, the Dulp and paper mills would furnish a unarket for the profitable utilization of the waste material that is inseparable from all suw and planing mill op erations in this and other-States, and thereby furnish the newspa per publishers with their print pa per at reduced rate; now, there fore. be it. Resolved, By the North Carolina Press Association in its annual Convention asnembledr""having at heart the beet interest* of our State as a whole, that we hereby urge the next General Assembly of this State, which convenes in Raleigh in January of next year, to enact a practical and intelligent forestry law, embodying therein a pro vision for the appointment of a State forester and forest fire war dens in each county of the State with proper compensation for the labor and services rendered, with authority to appoint subordinate fire wardens in each township for each county who should be clothed with authority to summons addi tional help when necessary to ex tinguish forest fires and prevent their spread and to enforce obedi ence and service in times of need, with proper compensation for all services thus rendered, with au thority to back fire in all cases where ever necessary for the pro lection of all property involved. Kesolved further. That the President of this association be and is hereby instructed to appoint a committee of three members of this association to present the matter before the incoming Legis lature-of this State and prepare a bill in the meantime embodying the ideas herein enuciated, with power and authority to appoint ad ditional members to ije selected from timberland owners, should such action be deemed necessary to aid and consult with in the pre paration of. a suitable bill, tp the end that our forest resources may be husbanded and perpetuated, the sawmill waste of tbs State proper ly and profitable utilized, and en couragement be thus afforded for the establishment of pulp and pa per mills in our midst, whereby the newspaper publishers would be enabled to purchase their print paper at a more.reasonable price, having in view at all timer tlx the greatest good to the greatest number. ilili lit JIB BOARD OF TRADE OKGAHIZED "Double Barrelled" Mass Meeting at W.O.W Hall Adopts Plana for Old Soldiers' Day to Be Held in Ahoskie.

Iluulisun, wlio died July 2nd. after a week's illness of typhoid fever, at the home of his parenta, Mr. and Mra. John Hughaon, near Hickory Obapel, aged 22 Everything possible was done ui prolong his stay on earth by loved ones, the trained nurse, his faith ful physicians, aiid also his devot ed sister, Nannie, who seldom left his bedside, always administering to his every wish, honing and 'praying that his life might be soared. But God willed it other wise and on Sunday afternoon his spirit went bsck to the God who gave it. foe lived a sober, peaceful, quiet life, always attending Sab bath School and all religuus ser vices; still he never joined church, and during his first illness spoke freely on the subject, saying he was truly sorry he had done noth ing for Jesus, but he believed and i loved the Lord. Before he died he told his loved ones who were prayiug day and night in behalf of his soul that God had forgiven him and his sou' was all right, and smiled a beautiful smile as if to say "it is well with my soul," which were such encouraging words to bis parents and loved ones, so they soi row not as those who have no lu.pe and believe his soul is now basking in the sunlight of Jesus. There was such a bright future before him and he had much to live fori but when he was stricken with afflictions he did not yield to fear and gloom, but trusted God and remained cheerful. The family has received beauti ful and encouraging words of sympathy from the company for which lie worked, saying he was well thought of and held in the highest esteem throughout -the community. He leaves to mourn their loss a father, mother, four brothers and foar sisters, and also a host of relatives and friends to whom we extend our lieartfelt sympathy and commend them to our Heav enly fattier whe doeth all things for'best. On Monday afLii no >n. July 3, his funeral services ware conduct ed at the home by Kevs, J. C. Moye and C. L. Dowell, after which the remains were laid to rest in the family cemetery among a large'crowd of grief stricken loved ones. The pall bearers were Messrs, Lloyd Dilday, El bert Hill, Tranny Hill, Herbert Copeland, Walter Sumner and Carroll Lowe, assisted by the un dertaker, F. D. Flythe. His Aunt, Mrs. Laura Wiggins. ? ?
