"'The naval stores industry le one :
o i the oldest industries In the irnlted
States, deriving its name from the
(act that in the early days pitch from
pine trees was commonly used to
make wooden
says R. S. Kellogg of the United"
States Forest Service. "The term
has persisted to this day; though the
products long ago found other and
more Important uses.
"The turpentining of pine timber
began In New England with the
' pltfifc.tr "or yellow pine, of that re
gion. but It was In North Carolina
that1 the first extensive development
of the naval stores Industry occurred.
The records show that from 1768 to
1770 the average exports of naval
tores to' England Included 88.111
ils of crude turpentine. 20.64 6
barrels of pitch, and 88, '366 barrels
of tar. Most of USb crude was sKlp
ped to England for distillation
through the ports of -Wilmington aad
New Bern.
"The supplanting of the Iron retort
by the copper still In 1834 greatly In
creased the output of volatile oil and
gave much impetus to th? Industry.
one-half of the production In North
Carolina was distilled at home Then,
because of the poor market for rosin,
the stills were transferred from the
ports to the woods, and a heavy on
slaught upon longleaf pine forests of
the 8outh began.

parison of this great exportation
with a total production In North Car

turpentine and 131,900 barrels of

of the lonRleaf pine in that Stnte.
South Carolina attained Its maxl

only two years after that of North
Carolina. The invasion of new for

but recently that State has been sur

years.
"Until recently naval stores were
entirely produced by one of the crud
est and most idestructive systems of
forest exploitation ever devised.
Great damage by fire and storm has
always followed Ihe turpentine box.'
Thousands of acres of splendid long
leaf pine forests have been aban
doned and destroyed after three or
four years of turpentining, and the
valuable timber w,hich they contained
not utilized. The earlier operations
of the turnentiner were comparable
Jn their destructlveness only to those
whleh swept the buffalo from the
western plains. The buffalo was
killed for tho hide and hornt, the

of turpentine and a few pound* of
rosin.
"The destructlveness of the box
system at last became so apparent
-and' widespread that to perpetuato
their industry." the operators were
forced to turn to other methods. Va

experimental work of the Forest
Service In methods of conservative

How ma'nV people were present at
the eclipse of the moon last night?
Aviv.M the News can learn the at
tendance was very small. Maybe the
performance was not sufficiently ad

few p^qftjjr. remembered the date.
Bmr m a logical conclusion, how-l
ever, thatlt should happen.' for when
th^ man In 'the moon Is full he Is
pretty apt to go Into eclipse. (No

joined, and more definite planB were
formed. It was decided that a

evening. Every member is asked to
contribute something to this sale.
Christmas is near and this will be

threatened with . destruction. The
situation is critical. The lahabltanta

The entire Island Is rocYed almost"

accompany the violent explosions and
eruptions. The ashes darken the sky
all over the Canarler, floating many
miles. Ravines and gullies are filled
with lava. The situation about Mount
Bilina today was more critical than
ever. ? Flames are shot froto the
peaks to great heights, sometimes
reaching more than 1.000 feet.
