We will state the facts in the case as briefly as ; possible. , ' . " ',.;',' j One of the greatest of the many great services which : President Roosevelt rendered to the American people was his action inriirbusing interest in the vital matter of the 'conservation of the Nations natural resources. These re jsources were being drained, and were approaching the Iint Where they were liable to be exhausted, by the wastefulness and indifference of , the many and the greed lof the few. Mr. Roosevelt saw thatif such a state of things were allowed to go on unchecked, the nation would suffer a loss which could not be repaired; and he therefore call ed public attention to the matter and maintained at the head of the forestry division Gifford Pinchot, a thoroughly trained expert who is devoted to the conservation move ment, . - , ? Mr. Taft is on record as favoring conservation; but fjsoon after he became President, trouble broke out through iriction between L. R. Glavis, a government field agent, v and Secretary; Ballinger. Glavis claimed that Ballinger was allowing the Nation s interests to be sacrificed to cor porate greed in the matter of some Alaskan lands; Bal--ilinger denied this. President Taft looked into the matter, Water Fates Raised The, following town ordinance has been passed: , 4 :j Be itdedfjby - theBoard: of Commissioners of the town of Hen dersonvifie, that the foUo wing wa ter rates, be, and the - same are, hereby ordered in force from; and alter January, isc, liu: , The first l.OOQallons at 50c per 1,000 gallons: The next 2,000 gallons at 40c per 1,000 gallons. - The next 3,000 gallons at 30c per 1,000 gallons. The next 4,000 gallons at 20c per 1,000 gallons. All over 10,000 gallons at 10c per 1,000 gallons. All other rules and regulations. as now in force, to be and remain as at present This 10th day of January 1910 (Signed) R H. Staton, ; Mayor. t. Davis, Secretary. This action was taken in conse quence of a report from R. M. Oates showing, that water has been sup plied at less than cost. The net venue for the. six months, June to ovember inclusive, was $1,470; tkft femainin six months would of I course produce considerably less. Basing an estimate for the com ing six - months on figures for last November, lit was seen that the net revenue to the town for the coming six months would be approximate ly $1,000. Adding this estimated revenue of $1000 to the actual, net revenue for the past six months of $1,470 we have a total revenue for the year of about $2,500. The in terest on water works bonds, salaries of the pinmber and water shed pa trol, the annual tax of $64 for analysis of the water, together with repairs to water mains, costs of cleaning reservoir, eta, all of which enter into the cost of supplying water, make a total expense to the town for this department consider ably in excess of $3,000.

Pinchot's sympathies were known to be with Qlavis. glavis argued his oase in the columns of a newspaper; Ballinger demanded a congressional investigation; but be :f ore that investigation was begun, Pinchot addressed a Jletter to a Senator in which, among other things, he prais ed Glavis. The President, regarding this letter as an act if insubordination, summarily discharged Pinchot. V Mr. Taft is a man of undoubted integrity. So also is 3Ir. Pinchot. It is unfortunate that these two men have ilallen out so. seriously; but the public as a rule is not very eehlv stirred lin ver a disagreement between two of its this case is that Pinchofs hsefvktion policy is regarded .as a Roosevelt policy, that Mr. Pinchot is a'close friencVof Mr. Roosevelt's, and that Mr. Roosevelt is the man who tjnade it possible for Mr. Taft to be elected. ; And every viody is asking, What will Roosevelt do about it? And the y man who can ansWer this ? question can foretell the result ' . ofthe next campaign ' " . .7.

A. Knapp of Washington, head of the farmers' demonstration work in the South. The subject was, "How to make a state in which the rural masses will prosper." Dr. Knapp said that one-fourth of the land in this state is improved; one-sixth is cultivated. That is, one-sixth of the entire area must pay. taxes on five-sixths and sup port our entire population. The one-sixth that is cultivated produces only one-third of the crop which it could be made to produce; there fore we are using only one-eighteenth of our resources. . After summing up the character of the work to be done for the de velopment of the state. Dr. Knapp said: "Thus equipped North Carolina would become one of the greatest producing manufacturing states of the Union. It would be possible under such conditions to produce a billion dollars Worth of products up on the farms and a billion dollars NOTICE ' ' '-,- , This is to give notice that the undersigned purchased, on the nrst Mondav in May, sj 909 at sale of prdfeerty .f ortaxesduly advertised and condUcfed4y the tax collector 'of Henderson county, N.
