FOREST RESERVE BILL "Washington, D C.. Feb. 6 Another - effort will be made before adjournment to secure an appropriation to cover the . cost of making a survey of the South . era Appalachian region, with a view to establishing a forest reserve ! in that section." A movement was started in this di rection today, when Senator Simmons induced the Senate ftommittee on agri . culture to incorporate in the agricul tural supply bill an item calling for an ; appropriation of $25,000 for the pro posed survey.

The Pulpit and the People are More in Harmony in This Country Than Ever Before in Our History It is sometimes claimed, and often, that we are living in a sordid age, when the dollar is exalted and is 'the measure of men and, that the spiritual life is dwarfed stiffled; that the de sire lor the rapid accumulation of riches -is all-absorbing and, conse quently, that gross materialism is fast sapping and supplanting the simple but animating religious faith of our fathers. That many men are unduly eager to possess worldy fortunes, may be true. A long period of material prosperity naturally stimulates commercial activ ities and quickens individual endeavor to "make money." One sees his neigh bor prospering, and the man who fails to better his own condition when the opportunity offers is a drone. But to say that all the world has caught the get-rich-quick" carze is to speak without reason. The people who talk about sordid ambition dominating society are either cynics or failures in life. While cor ruption in high places is often in evi dence, and while the - world at large may not be as good as it should ' never was there a time when so- much thought was given to the amelioration of the so-called neglected classes, when so much was done to promote the cause of peace and universal brother hood, when domestic and civic virtues were so much appreciated, when so many God-fearing people were banded together for uplifting work and when so much wholesome religion wfes preached and practiced. Here is our own city the Best Town in the State our people have within the past quarter of a century made wonderful advance in public morals, if you but measure back and compare progressive conditions; from the time our peerless graded school was estab lished, which is the creation of a free people's generous self-voted taxation, on. up to the : presept. Are we not, in deed, entitled to the slogan ot the Aeotjs, as characterizing our people and town that 'we go forward"? But it was not of Ooldsboro that we in tended to write in this homily. This reference is -but a mere incident in the weaving loom of thought, for we are writing of this generation as a whole But we are led to thus write at this time by,the result of the prohibition election In Newborn this week, and the action of the people ot Fayetteville on this same liquor question; as well as by Goldsboro's sturdy convictions on the same subject." '- Public morals do not militate against prosperity; but just the contrary." The per capita' wealth of this nation is on the increase," steadily, and with it hu man happiness is being widened and elevated to a higher level. , And right here we wish to say that it is a great mistake, or delusion, to think that the pulpit is losing its power. There never was a time when it was so powerful. In every city, village and hamlet tomorrow churches will be thronged, and consecrated faithful and able pastors will have earnest and con trite attention. We go forward. " Snap-Shots, Witty, Wise and Other wise. The action or even the threatened ac tion of a Legislature may have a far- reaching influence upon the well-fare of its State. North Carolina is at this time enjoying a flood of prosperity and holds a conspicuous place in the eyes of the country. fc It would be most lament able if any act of or threats from the Legislature should retard the healthful growth of the State or cause the outside public to lose 'confidence in' it or in tending investors to turn from it as a state in which' property rights are not respected. Reform .is not properly synonymous with ruin ; real reform does not imply receivership.' Mr. Gra ham, of Orange, and Mr, Doughton, of Alleghany, two of the wisest men in the Legislature, have sounded notes of warning in the Senate and House. " Letter to Wm. Holmes. ... Goldsboro, N. C.

TELLS WHAT VE NEED A good way for one to lose his identity these days .is to be a magazine poet. In the flower garden of girls all can't be roses, but the violets are well worth tyiiig to.

Lives of all great men remind us that we can never make our lives sublime by wearing out the seats of our trousers and killing time.

The Maryland Society of New York held its ninth an nual banquet at Sherry's tonight. Am ong the 250 guests present were Thomas Fell, president of St. John's College, 3 Annapolis, and ex-"Judge Alton B. Parker. Referring to the Brownsvills affair, Judge Parker, in response to a toast, said he believed the President had the right to discharge the negroes and was justified in using that power.

The negro was poor and not fitted to exercise the right of franchise. Politicians for their own selfish' purposes told him he was fitted to rule, to take possession, and many well-intentioned men and women joined in the mistake. 1 'Notwithstanding all these difficulties the two races have worked together well for the upbuilding of their section.

Philadelphia, Feb, 6.- The Congres sional limited train on the Pennsylva nia Railroad which leaves Washington for New York at 4 o'clock, ran through this city to-night at terrific speed with the engineer, Thomas Toms, dead at the throttle. The train, which was made up of seven buffet cars, makes two stops in this city, one at West Philadelphia and the other at North Philadelphia. Shortly after the train left West Philadelphia, the fireman, Harry Michner, noticed the speed of the train was unusual, but the engi neer gave no signals. Michner called to Toms, but received no answer and when the train rushed through Fair mount Park and neared North Phila delphia, the fireman climbed over the big boiler into the engineer's cab to find Terns dead with his hand on the thrott'e. His head was hanging out of the window and had been crushed by striking some object along the road. Michner supported the dead engineer on his arm and brought the train to a stop at North Philadelphia, where a new engineer was secured and the train proceeded to New York. Tams, the dead engineer, lived in Newark' N. J. Will Study Coral Formations. Charleston, S. C, Feb. 8.

Dr. Agasiz said today in an swer, to inquiry, that the report that they intended to stndy causes of seis mic disturbances in the neighborhood of Jamaica, was without foundation. The party has been detained here on account o the bad weather.
