The Appalachian park convention was t called to order at the Auditorium yes terday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock by President Rutherford P. Hayes. President Hayes in opening the con vention said: "It is with great pleasure that I call this convention to order and in the name of the various organiza tions connected with the preparations for this meeting to bid you welcome. "To U6 living here in the mountains the great importance of the Appalach ian forest reserve is well known, but others may not understand the need of it so well. "I will give a summary of the reasons given by the president of the United States in his message to congress on this subject why the reserve should be established. The southern Appalachian region embraces the hihtst peaks and largest mountain, masses east, of the Rockies. It is the great physiographic feature of the eastern half of the continent, and no sucn lotty 'mountains are covered with hardwood forests in all North America. "Upon these mountains descend the heaviest rainfall of the United States, except that of the north Pacific coast. It is often of extreme violence, as much as eight inches having fallen, in 11 hours, 31 inches in one month, and 105 inches in one year. "The soil, once denuded of its forests and swept by torrential rains, rapidly loses first its humus, then its rich upper strata, and finally is washed in enor mous volume into the streams to bury such of the fertile lowlands as are not eroded by the floods, to obstruct the rivers, and to fill up the harbors on the coast. More good soil is now wasnea ( rixories, ana me more recent acuon oi from these cleared mountain side fields j congress in providing for the construc during a, single heavy rain than during, tion of a great system of irrigation centuries under forest cover, , - i works in these states; and, inasmuch "The rivers which originate in the as the forests and. the soils which southern Appalachians flow into, or i these forests protect in the southern Ap- along the borders of every state from Ohio to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. Along their courses are agricultural, water power and nav igation interests whose preservation is j absolutely essential to the well bemsr ci the nation. The regulation of the flow of these rivers can be accomplished only by the conservation of the forests. "These are the heaviest and most beautiful hardwood forests of the con- OIL. STOVES.

SENATOR PRITCHARD TALKS ON THE Special to the Gazette. Marshall, N. C, Oct. Pritehard is here and will be engaged il of a very for a few days in the tria important capital case. When seen by a reporter today in regard to tne polit ical outlook the senator made the fol lowing statement: "The outlook in the state is very bright. In almost every county there is an indication on the part of many iwho have heretofore voted the demo cratic ticket, to join with the anti democratic forces in their effort to de feat the democratic state ticket and in the election of the congressional, legis lative" and county ticket. "The election of Moody and Blackburn by good majorities, is, in my opinion, certain. They have hoth made very effective campaigns and I am sure that the voters in their respective districts fully appreciate the important bearing that their re-election will have upon the welfare of the state. "I am also satisfied that the chances of election are in favor of Hiss, Linney, Patterson and Slocumb. These are gentlemen of high character and stand ing and a majority of the business men of their districts earnestly desire their success, and I believe, if the fight is kept up from now till the election that they will be victorious. "The democrats are making an unjust warfare against Mr. Hiss. Among other things they are alleging that he is a memlber of .the Catholic church. This is a method of political warfare that ought not to be tolerated in any civil ized community. They are circulating anoymous statements in the various parts of the Ninth district that Mr. Hiss is a Catholic. There statements are being sent to many of the ministers of the district and are heing scattered along the public highways in the moun tain counties of the district. The re publican party has never ignored any one on account of hia religious views in its selection of its candidates, neither has it ever attacked any one on ac count of any views he may have enter tained wTith respect to religious ques tions.

Price a Great Welcome. : Moores ' N. C, Oct. 25. The largest ' ga. ;ermg of the citizens ot Mooresville and surrounding country that has been assembled here during this campaign were out today to hear Capt. Charles Price and Hon. Spencer Blackburn . The Mooresville brass band met the speakers at the station and leaded a line of march which led to the hotel. At 2:30 o'clock a procession was formed in front of the Commercial hotel, and the great throng of people iruthe marching line kept step with the soul-stirring music unxU the spacious hall of the Mooresville acad emy was reached. Captain Price spoke first and presented republican policies as only men of his great ability can. Unfortunately his heart was troubling him, and he was compelled to make short his talk. Mr. Blackburn was also wildly cheered and the 'band played, men yelled, women clapped their hands and sweet smiles played upon their faces. times the largest crowd of people that have gathered here during this cam paign. The hall was crowded to the utmost, men stood at the windows, while others could not hear at all. Mr. Blackburn received quite a number of handsome bouquets, and, among others. ; came one, an exceptionally large aod ; beautiful display of flowers, from three ; sisters who have a brother fighting for ' our country in the Philippines. This was presented as a small token of , their high esteem and proud regard for ! Mr. Blackburn and as an appreciation I tor nis interest in voting for a bill to shelter the brave heroes in the far away islands. Another very sweet re membrance was when a little four year-oia cnna presented witn its own I little hand a basket of flowers to Mr : Blackburn. JMooresville people opened wide their gates of hospitality and the ' occasion was thoroughly enjoyed by one , and all. Several prominent democrats . pledged to Mr. Blackburn their loyal support, while a number of others said they iwould do him no harm'. De mocracy, now realizes they are facing defeat, and the climax of their realiza tion will be fully comprehended on the i fourth of November. POLITICAL OUTLOOK campaign managers is an insult to ev Senator I erT Catholic in the State as 'well as j everY otner individual wno peiieves m ious and political freedom. This course, on the part of the democratic party is inconsistent with their past record in relation to such matters. Especially is. this so in view of the fact that Hon. Clement Manly, who is a Catholic, was at one time chairman of the democratic state executive com mittee, and for a number of years, as such, had the management and con trol of the democratic nartv. There are also a number of distinguished ment who hold positions of trust in North Carolina, who are ardent mem bers of the Catholic church. "While 1 am a firm believer in the dot-trines of the Baptist church, at the same time I am sure that the fair minded people of all denominations concur with me in the opinion that the unwarranted attack on Mr. Hiss is a species of demagoguery that marks its authors as a class of political tricksters who are willing to resort to any kind of methods with a view of prejudicing the minds of the voters to such an extent as to prevent anything like a fair consideration of the issues involved in the candidacy of Mr. Hiss." "It is necessary that all persons who are able to 'pay a poll tax should pre serve their tax receipts and present them to the judges of election when they offer to vote. Unless this re quirement of the constitution, as con strued by Senator Simmons, is com plied with this class of people will not he permitted to vote." Houses Fop Kent.
