The papers are publishing a story to the effect that Chairman Scott, of the House Commltte on Agriculture, . Is opposing any Appalachian or "White - Mountain Forest legislation. He says that ' he is not at all convinced that the forests have any effect on the flow of navigable rivers. Also, that Boil erosion is not due to deforesta tion. Mr. Scott and the itev. Jasper, - of Richmond, seem to be enjoying " opinions which are about on the level. Parson Jasper said that the "sun do move." and he took his congregation into a field where he could follow the shadows of the sun to prove his proposition. Mr. Scott mlghj take somebody to the mountains to watch conditions to-day and then after one Intervening day, measure the condi tions again and say that he has prov ed his proposition. Xo wonder that little headway ! being made, when such views are held by a member of the Committee on Agriculture of the National House of Representatives. THE DOCTORS. It Is a notable gathering of doctors In Charlotte to-day, giving impetus to the now world-wide crusade against consumption. The warfare against this enemy to human life wa3 begun less than a decade ago, yet It has spread all over the civilized world and all countries are now ac tively engaged in it, though none, perhaps, so actively as the United of all parties, he wants the Legisla ture to do what it can in the matter of correcting the' evils of freight dis crimination against North Carolina cities. He does not cite as many cases as he might have done, but this matter of discrimination is an old story, a matter of common knowl edge and the citations made by the Governor are sufficient. He wants the Legislature to continue the ap propriation of 34,000 to help bear the expenses of an Inter-State prosecu tion of the warfare against discrim ination in freight rates. Returning to the bank deposit guaranty, the Gov ernor seems disposed to argue the matter with the Legislature and what he says reads like a speech to a jury, Like Governor Glenn, he is satisfied as to the adequacy of the State pro hibition laws, and demands that there be a strict enforcement of them to the end that the will of the people shall triumph. He does not favor a State-aid plan for building good roads, as it would work an inequality among counties. He would have a State Highway Commission appointed to draft a plan of good road building and report to the next Legislature, and that Is 03 near as he comes to the Glenn-Mann report. He recom mends merely experimentation in the drainage of State swamp lands, If that much. Governor Kitchin is satisfied with the status of child .labor in. the State and speaks the mill men fair. It is evident that he would have no dis turbing legislation on that score at this time. He recommend3 the. most drastic sort of legislation for the con trol or suppression of the trusts. He would have all foreign corporations put under a license system and the trust that destroys a rival should it- He speaks for of CREEKS THAT SHOULD BE OA- . -" . - :- ALS - v- -; . - , - v ' Formerly two creeks ran" from north to south on either side of Char lotte, forming eastern and v western boundaries. These conditions some time' ago ceased to exist, for the town grew over and beyond the creeks and now two creeks run; through the town. The proposition has been made to canal these creeks and that Is what the exigencies of the times de mand. The creek in the eastern part of the city is fairly well drained, bridged and in some places rocjr- walled, but It leaves East Fourth street in its wild condition. ditching, or canaling of these streams out of the city and for a couple' of miles to the south would conserve the health of the town, add to the com fort of the people living along the banks, and enhance the value of both city and farming lands. The day not far disant when the two creeks through the town must be converted into canals and the agita tion of the matter has not been begun too early. I DAILY INCIDENTS. FACTS AND COMMENT GATHERED FROM f L- y y .IIL V UGvLilu Uncle Sam is a slow paymaster and he is a close one, too, as of necessity he must be. In December,-1095, the "Western Union Telegraph Company presented a bill to the War Depart ment for $755.28, for a single tele gram that had been sent from Alaska by Explorer Amundsen. He had no money, but he did have 1,049 words in which to tell the. government of. his discoveries, so he sent the message collect." ' The government gets out of paying the aforesaid bill of $755.28 on the ground that Professor' Am undsen was not authorized to send-' hi3 book "collect" over the Western Union wires. States. The thorough organization of the doctors in almost every State and seit be Dut to death. their united efforts in th eri.iratfnn liberal treatment of the denian.ls of the people as to the prevention and the State's charitable institutions and suppression of the disease, will make J strikes a happy note on the return , of ltseir reit in the vital statistics reports a few years hence. It is not too much to predict that consumption will be conquered as yellow fever has been conquered and that the day la not far distant when tuberculosis will be among the rare afflictions of our people.- The doctors who have met in Charlotte to-day are en gaged In one of the greatest works ever undertaken for the benefit of humanity. Our town cannot pay them too much attention. A NEW TARIFF COMMISSION. There is a strong- movement' ir. the central Northwest In support of a movement to hold a convention at Indianapolis, about the middle of February, to formulate the plan for a tariff commission and then to urge 11 upon congress. It is desired to prosperity. The Governor devotes considerable space to the subject of education and urges a liberal policy toward the State educational institu tions. He favors a "properly safe, guarded direct primary for electing the nominees of all political parties" as the best plan that can be dovised for securing honest elections, and" speaks at length in behalf of it. He wants election expenses reduced and small blame to him and favors the publicity plan. -He wants a law to cover that particular feature of elec tions. If we connot have a manda tory primary there is the other kind and. he cites articles sustaining It. While the hand of the politician is in evidence, the address is conserva tive and shows broad-mindedness and liberality of thought. The attitude of the new Governor toward the public institutions of the State and his pro- The women behind the civic im provement clqb have manifested somewhat of a tendency to crowd themselves to the front lately. They are not backward about tackling propositions that need their atten tion. Were they so, their organiza tion would be of no good and they seem to appreciate that fact.

HOLD-UP IX GREENSBORO. 3Ian Taking1 Observations on a Street Corner Is Rushed Off and Robbed. Greensboro Record. .'- v A most sensational case was re ported to the police last night". Mr. The I J. B. ( Harrison, a native of Ohio, a relative of the wife of Mr. Ed Smith, says while standing on the corner of South Elm and West Lee streets yes terday afternoon about 6 o'clock, three negroes came up behind him and taking, forcible possession of him rushed him to a secluded spot under the tracks pf the Ai & Y. division of the Southern Railway, near Bragg street, and there robbed him, first pulling his overciat over, his head and warning him that the least outcry would cause his instant death. It is only a short distance from the place where he was seized to the spot where he was robbed and he says the whole thing was accomplished so quickly that he hardly realized what was up. His purse was taken con taining one twenty dollar bill, two fives, one two and one one-dollar bill, as well as a note for 3497.00 on which 3102.00 was due, payable to JJB. Har rison, besides a receipt for dues to the Masonic lodge, of which he is a mem ber. No personal injuries were in flicted. Mr. Harrison Is spending the win ter here with his neice, Mrs. ed. Smith. At 6 o'clock yesterday after noon it was not dark: the telectrlc lights had been put on, though it was not what might be called broad day light. It was a bold job and a most risky one, though- as far as known no one seems to have seen the robbers rushing him away.

To-morrow and for three succeed ing days we will have with us a large body of the best and most rep resentative '-men An North Carolina, the Masonic grand lodge. The meet ing of the grand lodge, always; a great occasion for the Masons, is of more than ordinary interest this year, from the fact that it is the first meeting in the magnificent new Masonic Temple, and from the further fact that the temple will. he dedicated at this meet ing. The building is a splendid one and the Masons' have Just reason for. feeling proud of it. It is an honor to them and to the State. 1 It EURO'S Close to the Second-Class. Lumberton Rnhesnnfan The stamp receipts at the )Lura berton postofflce for the year ending December 31," 1908, were $7,295.38, as compared with $7,089.73 for 1907, showing an Increase of $205.65. Stamp receipts of S8,000would place the of fice in the second-class, and it is more than probable that the receipts would have reached that amount last year hat it not been for the general finan cial depression. If the year 1909 is a good one in a business way next year will probably see Lumberton in the second-class. His Eyes Turned Red. Salisbury Post. Commissioner R. B.

Congress once before had a tariff commission, but it was practically a Junior committee of the Waj-s and Means Committer. The new commission idea has been largely worked out by the National Associa tion of Manufacturers, and has been pressed by them for ten years past. Congress Is not particularly 'avorable to such a commission, because It pre fers to retain the handling of the tariff as a political machine in order to pay political debts with unfair tariff- A commission In which a tariff subject could be Investigated would throw entirely too much light on The East Avenuers have come for ward with an official call for bitu lithic paving and they should be giv en every square foot that they call for.

Governor Kitchin is a great man for the primaries and favors the iron bound sort. The people will never agree on this question. We are a little bit disappointed that in th election recommendations, the Aus tralian oaiiot was over-looked. The Australian ballot provides the fairest and most incorruptible of all elec tions. 100 much capital has been made In this State out of the coercive open ballot. It cannot be denied that some of the items to suit politicians hundreds of people do not vote their and defeat the use of the tariff for I real sentiment out of a fear of be- polltical purposes. The 'tariff Is now ing seen to vote against the dominant the entire country. It would not take the Legislature more than ten minutes to pass a law giving the people the Australian bal lot, and it would be the best ten min utes' work it ever did for the State. It is to be said of ex-Lieutenant Governor Winston that he acquitted himself during his term of office With all admiration. Governor Kitchin has had an aus picious inauguration.

Pennsylvania Capitalists Sign Water Works Contract. Rock Hill Record. Mr. Martin Maloney, Hon. H. Burd Cassel and Mr. Wm . Walker, all of Philadelphia, are in Rock Hill to-day to straighten out the water problem. The editor of The Record had an in terview with these gentlemen this morning in Mr. R, T. Fewell's office. and we feel justified in saying that the water problem which has for so long troubled Rock Hill is no longer a problem, but has been solved. These gentlemen will remain here un til to-morrow night. Upon the strength of Mr. Walker's opinion. Mr. Maloney has signed a contract with the Sydnor Well Pump Co., of Richmond, Va. . This contract the editor of The Record read this morning. It calls for the drilling of three 12-inch wells, and the cost will Drobablv reach $30,000. Mr. Malnnpv says he is willing to spend this large j ships amount of money to give the people or Kock Hill what they need an abundance of water for all purposes. PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE. The forestry officials of some of the New England States are to ask their Legislature to pass bills making railroads and individuals proved responsible for forest fires liable for the resulting dam ages. They also want the roads made to patrol all dangerous sections of their tracks. Lincoln's ancestry has' been traced to Samuel Lincoln, :who lived at Norwich, England.
