' ' Man Shot : Hope Mills No. 1 was the scene of a terrible shooting affair Saturday after noon, which resulted In the wounding of the chief of police and the probably fatal shooting of a young white man. Chief of Police Alex. Arnett. arrest ed Will Gales, a young factory hand, for being drunk and disorderly, and carrlod him before Mayor James A. Bynum. The boy's father offered to give bond, for his appearance before the Mayor Monday morning, aud start ed home with him. They had gotten only a few hundred yards from Police headquarters, when young Gales drew revolver and began firing, and some of the witnesses assert, shot at his father. When Policeman Arnett ap peared in sight, Gales opened fire on him, running In the opposite direction as he did so. Arnett returned the Are. and Gales fell. When one of the bv- standers reached him he was attempt ing to reload his pistol, as he had ex. hausted every shell. The wounded men were carried to their respective homes and then the extent of their wounds were ascertain ed. Mr. Arnett was struck twice, one ball lodging in the right arm. and the other In his left hip. Neither wound thought to be fatal. Young: Gales fared much worse, though he was hit only once. The bullet entered his back Just between his shoulders, mak ing a wound that he physicians fear will be fatal. The Forest Reserve. The Asheville Citizen contains the following interesting paragraph: Mr, Rhelnhardt, of Jaskson county, is not only a farmer, but is Interested himself to some extent in re-foresting. Several years ago he realized that sooner or later marketable walnut lumber will be a very scarce article. and forthwith he began to re-forest. He now has a great quantity of young walnut trees. He also has a large grove of locust. 'While I shall probab ly not live to realize from the walnut and locust groves,' he said, 'my chil dren will. Both locust and walnut wood is fast disappearing from west ern North Carolina. Why, I remember twenty-five 'or thirty years ago we sold great walnut trees for $1 and $2 each. Now these trees would be worth anywhere from $75 to $150 each. Some of the walnut trees that I set out twenty years ago are now 12 to lfc inches in diameter and in a few more years will be ready to market'." If the hand protective and preserva tive does not in some degree keep up with the hand destructive our forest domain will in time, and not very dis tant time, be laid a barren waste. The Fayetteville reader can see it for him self, allaround the city and all through the country- To paraphrase slightly (and reverently), "Paul may plant and Apollos water," and God will surely give the increase." If the farmer and the property owner would be, like Mr. Rhelnhardt, as quick to plant as he has been to cut down, coming generations would reap the benefit. The reporter has been informed by more than one land owner that, where the stock law is in force, the seedling long-leaf pine, no longer a prey to roaming hogs, springs up thickly, In spite of the contention that the tree will not reproduce Itself from the seed. "Woodman spare that tree." IN MEMORIAM. "Fell asleep In Jesus," on the 18th of May, 1907, born January 1st, 1907, Sylvester Godwin Cooper, son of James and Maggie E.
