Aunt Sallie Allen was one of the most remarkable women I have ever known. She was the daughter of the late William Wat son, of Warren, and the sister of the four Watson brothers, who during the last half century oc 11'9U1G. cupied such a large place in the no- 743 59 1 anars f Warren county. One ' ' 4-?S ' of tnese brothers, Mr. Lewis N. Z7' I Watson, of Axtell, and a sister, 5fi2,7.16Mrs. MaryDowtin, of Halifax, I yet lingers with us. Three broth- j ers, Messrs. William, John and 1 nomas Watson, and one or two sisters have passed over to the other side. Aunt Sallie Allen was the wife of the late Edmond Allen. She was born in 1809, and died in 1900. She left five sons, Messrs. Nat., Robert, Peter,' Austin and Walter Allen, and two daughters, Mesdames Sallie Rodwell and Cary Davis, and a large number of grand children and several great-grand children. She early gave promise of those striking characteristics of mind and heart which distinguished her through life. There lies before me the following certificate which indi cates that even as a child she was bright and studious. Here it is: "This may certify that Miss Sallie Watson has by her assidity this week merited the first hon ors in her class. "Susan Cottrell "Tutoress. "Shocco Female Academy, Aug. 23, 1821." Dear aunt Sallie; this gives us a glimpse of her childhood life in the long ago. T. J. Taylor. Arbor Day. The suggestions given in this bulletin for a lesson in the obser vance of Arbor Day have been made by W. W-. Ashe, Forester of the Geological Survey. It is to be desired that this day shall be more generally observed and that our young people shall be brought to a realization of the value of our forests and the beauty and need of trees for shade and decorative purposes. Arbor day is May 10, and how soon many of our school yards could be made places of beauty if on each Arbor Day the school would plant a certain num ber of trees or shrubs and then care for them during the year. While the same sentiment which is attached to the observance of Aroor i;ay in me scanuiy ioresi- ed western states cannot be q r- t- nlied in a well wooded State like! North Carolina, yet the observ - ance here of such a day has its significance. Arbor. Day in North Carolina could be set aside for the school children to learn of the great natural gift which we have in the forest to the well-being and wealth of our people. The right way to plant a tree, how the roots and crown should be, the manner of pressing the earth firmly about the roots, and how to prune the branches this is a manual exercise but one which it is well for everyone to be able to perform. The life of the tree is closely associated with the smallest roots which absorbs moisture and the need for preserving these when transplanting should be empha sized. The moisture the tree must have, its use of manure (leaf, mould and humusX how it grows and bears its fruit are elementary to the fundamental truths of the relation of the forest to the happi ness and progress of our people. Next to the very soil itself, which m North Carolina was originally nearly all forest cover ed, the forest has been the chief source of livelihood for our people. If it atone time temporarily bar red the progress of the farm, it yieldedat the same time a revenue in furnishing both warmth and shelter. When the farming land became worn and thin or gullied, the thickets of pine again covered the soil, restoring its fertility and makingit productive. The relation of the forest to the farm is para mount. It is so intimate as to be almost inseparable. On the farm the uses of wood are manifold, for fuel, fencing, building tools and barrels and crates for shipping. Within itself, moreover; the . forest sustains a vast industry, j employing more than20,000of our ! men in handling and sawing and reconverting its lumber and other products. The lumber is used for building our towns and then it j keeps the factories of maaybf them busy, changing the rough lumber into furniture, as is the case at High Point and Lexing ton; or turning wood into pulp for paper, as is done in the mountains at Canton; or making tanning ma terials from wood, which is done at Old Fort. But even this is not the limit Of the direct usefulness of the forest. The value of the many rivers of North Carolina for manufacturing depends largely upon the. uni formity of their flow, upon the absence of great floods, and the shortness of the period of low water, and upon how smail a quantity of sand and earth is washed from the soil of our hills and moun'ains. Great uneven ness in the flow of the streams makes itdiffi cult to use the power. Large amounts of earth in the water fill up the ponds and reser voirs and prevent the water being stored. The forest is very im portant in adding to the useful ness of the rivers. The more forest there is on the streams and the thicker the sponge of leaves and litter on the ground beneath the trees the more uniform is the stream flow and the freer the water from sand and earth. And this is true not only of the big rivers but the small streams as well. The bottoms along many of them, at one time cultivated in corn, are now covered with sand bars or have been washed into deep gullies by the floods as the influence of ' the forest has been lessened by burning and destroy ing its humus inaddition to clear ing the land. It is from these thoughts that the real lesson of Arbor Day can be drawn. The forest is one of our greatest and most valnable natural gifts and one which, when destroyed, lessens ore pros perity, reduces our sources of wealth, and brings great damage to other industries; while it is not possible to replace it when once destroyed on steep and poor land except after a great many years and at great expense. As such a resource, it should be wisely used ana in sucn a way that young trees may always come up in the i forest land to take the nlace of Hlne fw nr(3 nnt T, :mT,ftrt. 1 . . ... innt, rn thp nurnpr thnr, pvpvv nnrp of his land should be producing Lom ethinof vaup. arul sin0ft in many parts of the State we can not grow grass on land which has become washed or worn, or which is very steep, such land should be planted in trees that it may be growing something of use and value, for idle lands like idle hands are a reproach to both ownor and State. And since the forest . is one of the primary sources of wealth like our water powers and our fisheries, the State should seek by wise laws to perpetuate them, and we should try to retain their ownership and use so far as possible among the people who live in the State, and have their homes here, in order that the wealth that the forests create as they rise in value, may remain at home; and we should look forward with the hope that eventually the greater portion of our hardwoods will be manufac tured into finished products with in the State, keeping skilled men busy, and building cities where only towns stand to-day; and that the wood will not go out as mere rough lumber to supply the fac tories of other States. . These.are all profitable sugges tions for Arbor Day, and will serve to show what the true sig: nificance of the day should be; the relation of our forests to our wealth and prosperity.

GOVERNOR C. B. AYCOCK Strong Letter Favoring the Nomi nation of Locke Craig. From News and Observor, Mar. 27. Goldseoro, N. C, Mar. 25, '08. Dear Sir: It has been my habit ever since I became a voter to support somebody for nomina tion for various offices. I am al ways for somebody and never against any Democrat. This time I am for the nomination of Mr. Locke Craig. I am support ing him because I know him and have known him for thirty years. Ke and I were classmates, and I boarded for one year at his moth er's table. I know the man in his personal and private life; I know his public career. He is a gen tleman, a patriot and a states man. He has the courage of his convictions. He has the unselfish ness of a genuine love for the people. No toil has ever been too arduous for him to undertake in behalf of Democracy. He made the first speech which was made in the year of our revolution, 1898. It was his speech which set tho pace for that campaign. I made the second speech from the same platform with him, and followed his footsteps. His speech was along the line of appealing to the old Democracy and going to the people on the bad record made by the Republican party. He frankly and openly avowed the thought that a straight fight in behalf of Democracy would redeem the State. From the hour he made that speech until the election in November, 1898, I never ceased to believe for one moment that we would win the great victory which we achieved that year. While he was going to and fro through the State awakening all our people, his own people in Buncombe county nominated him for the Legislature and elected him, and he came to the Legisla ture in 1899 and rendered most valuable service in perfecting the Constitutional Amendment.which has already accomplished so much good for the State. But the adoption of the amendment by the Legislature was but the beginning of one of the greatest nghts that this State has ever seen. The Amendment was greatly misunderstood by the people at first and the Republi cans made a most adroit appeal to the unlettered white voters and sought to convince them that the adoption of the Amendment would disfranchise them and their children. No one contributed more to the removal of this dif ficulty than Locke Craig. As I recall it, he began his canvass in Buncombe county in January or February of 1900, and from then until the Novnmber election he worked without ceasing. When I reached the mountains in May of that year, on my canvass, 1 found that his splendid work had preceded me and the Democracy was fast uniting in support of the Amendment. When the election came, the fruit of his work in that country was seen from the tact that the Amendment came near carrying the mountain district,1 ana x nau cameu ii uy cwuan majority; a thing which no one would have predicted in January, 1900. Mr. Craig is a true Demo crat, believing in the right of the people to make nominations and platforms; but when the platform is made and he is elected upon it, no number of men, however great, could make him vary one iota from the requirements of it. He is 'a liberal and broad-minded man. He loves his friends, and has no enemies to hate. In him x 1 i; . l,ll as Cirovernor, x oeneve we simn have not only good government, bat good government with a united party, carrying out every pledge in the platform and steadi ly growing in the confidence of the people. I sincerely hope to see him nominated. That he would be elected follows as a matter of course. Very truly yours, C. B. Aycock.

If the people of North Carolina have gone crazy on the question of prohibition, as some have said she is, not by herself, In two-thirds of all the terri tory of the United States, the saloon has been abolished by law There are now 36,000,000 peo pie in the United States, under prohibition law. There are 20.000,000 in the fourteen Southern states, 17,000, 000 of whom are under prohibi tory law in some form. Georgia was the first Southern state to adopt prohibition, having declared for state prohibition by legislative act at the last session of its Legislature. Oklahoma, the youngest state in the union, adopted a prohibition provision and incorporated it in its Constitution, thereby making Oklahoma a prohibition state un- till reversed by Constitutional amendment. Alabama and Mississippi, by legislative acts, goes dry on Jan first 1909. In Tennesse, out of 96 counties 91 are dry and only three cities j in the stafce can sell liquor legally, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Mem phis. Kentucky has 119 counties, 94 of which are dry, making 97 per cent, of its entire territory under prohibitory law. Virginia has 100 counties out of which 73 have no saloons, and 46 in which liquor cannot be sold at all legally. Out of 55 counties in West Vir ginia, 29 are dry. One half of Delaware is dry. In South Carolina there are 41 counties, 23 have Dispensaries and 19 are dry. Florida has 46 counties, 33 pro hibition, 13 permit the sale of liauor. About three-fourths of the people of the state live under prohibitory law. Two-thirds of the state of Lou isiana is under prohibitory law. Texas has 243 counties, 147 of which are entirely dry, 51 are partly dry and only 45 permit the sale of liquor. Arkansas has 75 counties, of which 58 are dry and 80 per cent, of her territory has expelled the saloon. By legislative act, no liquor salesman can take his goods in prohibitory territory, nor can wholesale houses advertise in pa pers or by circular, in territory where the sale of liquor is for bidden by. law. Missouri has 214 counties, 47 of "which are dry. In wet terri territory license can only be ob tained on a petition of two-thirds of the tax payers or upon a peti tion of two-thirds of the real estate owners in a block. Kansas incorporated prohibi tion in-its constitution in 1880. She has to-day in her banks $145,900,000, making $83 per capita. About 68 per cent, of the terri tory of the State of Ohio is now dry. Indiana with 92 counties, the majority in 72 have recorded themselves against the saloon. Illinois has 26 counties dry. Chicago, its chief city, has as many saloons as all of the 14 Southern states combined. Local option has banished libuor from one-half of the state NO. 6. of Wisconsin, notwithstanding, Milwaukee lives there. About 45 per cent, of the pop ulation of Minnesota live under prohibitory law. Out of 99 counties, only 22 grant liquor license in the state of Iowa. North Dakota has Constitu tional prohibition. She has the greatest wealth, percapita, in her saving banks of any state in the union, it being $100. In the East, there is Maine, the mother state of prohibition. Des pite illicit selling and incourage ment to nullification upon the part of politicians of both parties, the people of the state acknow ledge the benefit of the system. In New Hampshire. 6 out of 11 cities and 183 out of 1-he 224 towns are dry. Out of 246 towns in the state of Vermont, 221 have voted dry and three-fourths of the people live under prohibitory law. Massachusetts is fast going dry in the large cities, including Lynn with 78,000 and Worcester with its 130,000 inhabitants. Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have done but little for the cause of .temperance, but the work is go ing on there by the temperance forces and it will be only a ques tion of time when this territory will too, be claimed for prohibi tion. About 99 per cent, of North Carolina is now under prohibi tory law. On the 26th of May the people of this State will have the privilege of expressing them selves on this great moral ques tion. Friends, we cannot afford to take a backward step. We can not afford to undo what the good women of this State have been working for and praying for for many years. Let us go to the polls on the 25th of May and stamp out this evil and thereby show to our good women that their efforts have not been in vain.
