' By WILLIADI IX. BEBN1RS. WILMINGTON, N. C. Tuesday ( Morning, Jan. 3. 1893. Y S0TJTHEBHr LUMBER. j ..' Col. 1. 1 W. Avery, of. Savannah, r Ga.. furnishes a paper to, the Baltl- ... trno.re Manufacturer s Record, show - 'I j iDg : the growth; of the lumber ! trade of that city, which gives some '3 idea of the extent to which South ... - era forests are . now .being called ; .. ! upon to supply the demand for Ium v- ber.L This increasing draft on the " 'Southern I forests suggests some ; ;v J thoughts that it would be well for I ' i every; man in the South, and espe . : j cially those who own timber lands, j to consider, ( - ; ' Savannah is now, doubtless, j the .. ! largest lumber shipping j port on the - i Atlantic coast, but there is scarcely ::Va;Sotithern port from which more or iless lumber is ' not shipped, and the business is increasing in all of "them i annually, though not in the same . proportion with which it has in . creased in Savannah, where the con ditions, the improvement , of the har- . bor, the co-operation o railroads, in&c., bave largely contribijted to it. 1 In 1877 Savannah shirked 47.807.- . 201 feet, worth 500,000; ast year ';, she shipped 140,243,603 feet, worth ; $1,532,000 The increase 5 has been ...st.eady since 1877, but the great J. gains have been within the?, past few years, since the channel of ! the har bor has been deepened, and 'the '- large saw mills have begun' work in v the tributary territory. : The coastwise .shipments were ."; made to. twenty-two ports, and for eign shipments to twenty-three. .New ".York, Baltimore and Philadelphia, in the order named, were, the largest takers, taking respectively last year, 37,616,938, 34,180,797, and 28,422,- 112 feet. Over seven million feet were shipped to four South and Cen tral American ports' last year. From January 'to July last year New York, Philadelphia and Boston took 5,668, , 175 shingles, while large quantities lot cedar logs, crossties; staves and .laths were shipped, the crossties j amounting to 5,000,000 feet. -! These figures show 'not only the growth and magnitude of the buii r. ness ia this one -port, but; how it ' has 1 reached out on both sides -Atlantic. 1 t- tf the v i There is every probability that the business will continue to grow audi the drain on our Southern forests be come greater every year. Of course : there s money in it, or it would I not grow. ' There is the -danger, danger that tjhe temptatioa to realize present profit will lead to havoc of the forests . and tp their premature destruction, : .which would prove a calamity not to be. onset by any profits derived from the pusiness however- large they might be. - . ! . " It is a well known fact that the . lumber producing regions " of the Nortb and Northwest have been . ptetiy nigh exhausted, and that a . few years more of the wholesale cut tingj they have been subjected to in the past will leave them entirely ; so. Some of the States interested realiz ing jthis have enacted laws to. protect thejforests still standing- "from des truction, which in, some, at least, have bad a eood effect but thft'd. tuskd for ": lumber Increases every year with the increase of population, while the area of production! is be poming annually more contracted. Realizing this, shrewd timber men of the North and West came them selves or sent agents into thq forest regions of the South ,andJought -up immense tracts of timber lands for present or for future operations. .As a general thing the prices paid were very small, in many instances ridicu lously so, ranging from twenty-five cents to one dollar an acre, J seldom more than a dollar, not the . value of an ordinary tree cut Vip Into timber. But the owners either from lack o money or excess of stupidity,1 seemed anxious to sell even at these Jfigures, Now, the only , interest the pur chasers," as a 'rule, have in these lands is to cut all the timber that is worth cutting, and leave the land naked and expos edVto be washed by the rams, baked by the sun and become in time worthless. We do not realize this danger now because the South is yet a heavily timbered section, but with the slaugh ter of the forests that has now begun, and which has been increasing so for several years past, how.long wil it be so? There are creat strips of territory in North Carolina noW which have been absolutely denuded of trees,which half a century agoor even later, bore a heavy growth, and this was. not for the timber but for the turpentine that was drawn from them. -What the turpentine-tapper left undone in the way of destruction the careless or the. deliberate torch did later. And so it is all along the coast. The merciless chopper and the sweeping fires 'have ruined mil lions of acres of magnificent forests. ; When we know that in r time, and that 'ho .very distant time, this country, and all other countries too, will be compelled to look to the rSouth for their lumber supplies, and that lumber must appreciate in value, isn't it about time that we begin . to realize the worth of our forests and treat them with some care and handle them with some business sense? There is no property W the South to day what will as well repay pru dent management nor pay a larger interest if. left untouched. They should be utilized but not abused. cut with judgment but not recklessly slaughtered. The man who does that if he expects to remain in . the South and raise his children! here is killing the goose that lays the golden egg and depriving his children of the best inheritance,, in thej way. pf landed property, that he could leave them. ,!HN0B tfEHTIOa. It is reported that some of the Third party leaders are no w at work in Georgia and Texas organizing the Industrial Legion, a secret order started at the last meeting of the Natibnal Alliance in Memphis. It will be remembered, that thej-e was a split there between the delegates who favored running the Alliance as an annex of the Third party and those who opposed it. The former con trolled the convention, elected the officers, and the latter withdraw. Be fore the convention adjournfid this secret military organization was formed, one of the principal men in it being Marion Butler, President of the North Carolina Alliance. We do not know the -obligation they take, but it is probably, similar to that taken. by the Gideonltes but the Industrial Legion is a still more ob jectionable and dangerous organiza tzation than Gideon's BandJ for it is an armed organization which pro poses to'use armed force at the polls to "assert their rightSjwhich means that they intend to take the 'law into their own bands, be judges as to whether it is complied with or not, and enforce it according to their own ideasy.which is the South and! Central Americanway of running elections. As Marion Butler is one of the head men in this revolutionary movement it is possible than an effort may be made to organize the Legion in this State in violation of the'! law, as Gideon's Badwas organized in violation of the iawVThere was some talk of Indicting and prosecuting S. Othb Wilson and others whoTtnight' be known as organizers of that bandfto smoke myself. Detroit Free Press: but as they may possibly not' have been aware' of the existence of such a law, the demand for their prosecution has njDt been pushed, but there can be no such excuse now given if the attempt be made to introduce the Industrial Legion in this State. The first man and every man detected in it should be arrested and punished to the full extent of the "lawj. They should not be allowed to; rope in and make slaves of their less informed and confiding fellow-citizehj nor to inaugurate revolutionary methods in this State. . , mm . ; The beet sugar industry has been conducted with success in Nebraska, low and California. There are. we believe, five or six factories m those three States , which are pretty well supplied with beets, as the farmers find them about - the most profitable crop they can Taise and are .always sure of finding ready sale for them at a fair price. They range in price, at the factories, from. $3.50 to $5.00 per ton, ' depending on ; the sugar- producing quality of the beets. J In the States where they are cultivated the yield ranges from six to twenty two tons per acre, the average being about fourteen "tons. The cost of raising averages about two dollars a ton, leaving a profit to the farmer of about $2.50 a ton or $37.50 an acre, which is a much better showing than any of the ordinary crops grown can make. ! Thus far there has been no effort made at beet culture, in- the South, but it ought to succeed here well.- We learn from jthe Baltimore Manufacturer's Record that. the ex periment is to be made at Staunton, jV"a.,where a factory has been built and is now about completed, j On the pre sumption that the men who run the' factory are equipped for it and un derstand their business, the only rea son we see to make success proble matical is whether they can find a sufficient quantity of beets to make the.output of sugar ; large enough to pay. It takes. consiaeraoie capital to prepare for and run a business like that and consequently the . output must be considerable to pay reason able, interest on the investment, and profit on the work done. The facto ries in the West had this difficulty to tontend against at first, out they soon got oyer that and. can now count on a good supply of beets, as it pays the farmers to raise them, and so it ought to pay farmers in this section, We trust the Staunton experiment may prove a success, for if it does other capitalists will be I encouraged to go into it at other places, and the beet sugar industry become estab lished in the South, j CURRENT COMMENT.

' London Telegraph. i .1 have frequently, called attention to the deplorable, condition -of - the Russian peasantry under the tyranny of the village usurers. "The Societe Ecbnomique- has. now published a calculation that the rural population is paying two hundred millions per annum interest to the koolaks. . This is about equivalent to the interest annually paid on, the national debt. In fact the usurers have discounted the' State revenue and gradually sucked ' the, peasantry so dry that they are now refusing to have ariy thing more jto do with them j Hitherto whena commune could not pay its Jtaxesthe koolak paid and took the crbps of the ; population for several years in advance as repay menL Now, however, by a long process of this exhaustive drain upon them the peasantry have been, re duced to' such" utter ruin that1 even the koolaks will no longer lend. The result, of cjourse, . will be that none of the enormous arrears will be paid, nor will it be possible to collect taxes until the peasants have recovered somewhat. And, unless a check is put on the coolaks, this recovery can never take place, for as soon as it begins the coolak will recommence his operations. : . w i - i A f ew examples will sho w what has been and isj still going on. I take them from a small local paper, the Prtazovski Krau. :- '. . : Two years ago a peasant in the district of Rostoff borrowed 100 ru "biesat 5 per cent, per month, giving a bill for 200. Not being able to pay his 100 at the end of the first year, he renewed,! . giving this time a bill for 320. He then had 96 interest, making a total of 256 rubles; at the end of the siecond year he had a good crop which brought him in 200, all of which he had to pay, : and remained still a debtor for 56 rubles. f ; ; In 1891 te peasants of the. village of Karlovria borrowed from the koolak, Antbinsheff 3,000 . poods, b rye against 500 desiatines of their best land for nine yeurs. - Thisyear they are buying .back their land at 17 ' rubles a desiatine. In another village the peasants sold their bailey crop in advance to a koolak for 35 kopecks a pood, and are. now deliver ing it to him, though the market price to-day , is from. 85 to 90 kopecks Comment on these examples is quite superfluous.

J But 'did tjie raven cease from troubling? Not a bit of it,. He slowly retreated, encc-uraging. the harej to follow him up and pretending even that he was afraid of her. In this fashion be led the unhappy mother to a considerable distance from her young one, and then, all of a sudden long before jthe hare had time to realize the danger of the trick rose in the air, flew swiftly back caught, the leveret in his beak land bore, it away. :; ; . :j . . . - i J- . A similar! plan was adopted by some, ravens that' wished to steal food from a do. They teased him till he grew so angry that he chased them from the spot. But the wicked birds turned-! sharply around, easily reached the dish before him, and carried off the choicer.bits in triumph. As to the raven s power of speech the following story, which is given on the authority of captain Brown, who vouches for. its truth, will show how aptly it tan talk. I j . j j a. gentleman while travelling through a wood in the south of Eng land, was suddenly alarmed by hear ing a shout of "Fair play, gentlemen! fair play!' uttered very earnestly in loud tones. -The cry being repeated presently, the wayfarer thought it must proceed from some one in disr tress, and at once began to search for him. In due course he came upon a pair: of ravens attacking a third in the most brutal manner. He was so struckj with the oppressed bird's appeal that he rescued it with out delay. ; . T '.. 1 It turned out that the bullies vie-. tim was a tame raven belonging to a house In the neighborhood. Happily it knew how to use the catchwords that it had so adroitly learned. . - Execution Sale.
