' HE writer was in error recently
ID saying: the White Mountain
and Appalachian forest reserve
Mil would be voted on next month by
the senate. Those who have looked
up the calendar say the bill will not
be taken up for consideration until
the middle of February, and that the
frw opponents of the measure ar
ranged this late dale thinking it
would thereby prove easier to talk
the bill to death.
President Taft indicated to Senator
Overman, who yesterday went to the
White House to see about the Ger
man potash question, that he would
take up the matter of the Salisbury'
pnatoffice contest immediately after
the holidays. All hands feel that the
president ahold do something about
this contest one way or another. Mr:
Hobson, who is now drawing the sal
ary as postmaster by virtue of a re
cess appointment, has been here this
week, with the postmasters from
other states who represent offices that
have been designated as postal sav
ings banks. Thus far only one such
bank has been established in each
state, the plan being now In the ex
perimental stag. It was felt that
Salisbury wauld be a good place to
make the experiment in North Caro
lina, since there are a large number
of wage earners about Bpencer and
Quarry, a number of foreigners being
residents of the latter place. It was
largely for the benefit of the foreign
population in the various states that
this postal savings feature was estab
lished, for the reason that a great
many foreigners do not have Implicit
faith in all our regular banking Instir
tntlnns. Very small amounts will be
accepted by these postal saving banks
and the one In connection with the
Salisbury office will be opened early
next month. Postmaster Oeneral
Hitchcock explained the workings of

Raleigh, Dec. 23
The headng In the Standard Oil
company prosecution for violation of
the North Carolina anti-trust law
that has been on the boards here for
nearly two Week in the police court,
with City Attorney Walter Clark, Jr.,
and Attorney General T. W. Blckett
conducting the prosecution for the
state, stands in suspense now until
Wednesday or next week when the
contending counsel will thresh out the
contentions In law and the force of
the evidence before Police Justice
Stronach. The counsel for the Stand
ard company haa offered no witnesses
and will contend In their argument
that the state has not made out a
case. The charges are that the Stand
ard Is selling oil abnormally cheap on
the Halelgh market and is selling the
highest grade of oil under the lower
grade brands with a view to still
further handicapping its competitors.
The Standard Oil counsel are claim
ing that they have In the cross-ex
amination of the witnessed offered
by the prosecution, refuted the
charges made, In that they claim to
have accounted for all the differences
In the price of oil in neighboring
towns as compared with Raleigh
through peculiar freight and delivery
conditions in the respective localities.
There Is remarkably little interest in
the case here. A remarkable thing
about the outcome of the hearing, is
the Standard people are claim
ing that they have proven by the wit
nesses offered by the state that the
prices of oil are still considerably too
high in Raleigh as compared with
Richmond, Norfolk, Baltimore and
other points, and that, too, in a suit
In which they are being prosecuted
for selling oil too cheap to the people
of Raleigh.

Col. F. A. Old. haa received the fol
lowing letter from President K. B.
Pritchard of the North Carolina so
ciety of New York:
My Dear Col. Olds:
The annual, dinner of the North
Carolina society of New York this
year promises to be one of rather un
usual Interest and importance. The
theme of the dinner is to be "Con
versation," with special reference to
the merit, of the proposed Appa
lachian torent reserve. The other
state societies here which are pecu
liarly Interested Kentucky, Tennes
see, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia and
West Virginia have been incited to
co-operate and a very large and rep
resentative attendance is expected.
Hon. Glfford Plnchot and Hon. J. A.
Holmes, chief of the bureau of mines,
will be among the speakers. Hon.
Whitehead Klutz of Salisbury will
also be present and speak. We have
some reason to expect two other
speaker, of national Importance im
connection with the general subject
of Conservation, to be present, and it
is our hope and belief that the occa
sion will have a weighty bearing upon
pending congressional action upon
this matter. You can assist material
ly in assuring a success for the din
ner by exploiting the matter through
the state press, urging a representa
tive attendance of North Carolinians
at the dinner. The date, by tho way.
is January It, at the Hotel Astor.
We shall greatly appreciate your
co-operative Interest, to which please
add my personal appreciation.

greatest joys of the holiday season.
The Kindergartens are the children's

of the forest and the children',
graceful handiwork, bells, stars, tiny
lanterns and chains were largely used
In adorning It. Dolls, little horses,
toy pistols and little tea sets were
gilts that gladdened the hearts of the
children, and bag. of candy and nuts
and oranges made them happy with
a foretaste of the great day. A
