ChsrMte Obserrer, The showing made of the affairs of the Seaboard Air Line by the receiv ers at the hearing given them by the joint legislative committee on public service corporations Tuesday was painful. They represented, no doubt truthfully, that this road cannot stand a 2J cent " passenger ' rate. Receiver Warfield detailed the condition of the Seaboard as des perate; that there was a deficiency of half a million dollars for the year ending July 1st, 1907, and that re ceipts had fallen off 11: per cent, in November and December of last year, while for the first week of Jan uary this year the decrease was 20 percent, compared with last Janu ary, the second week showing a de crease of 22 per cent." "Attorney Untemeyer stated that, although within the past three years twelve million dollars of new money have been invested in the road and its business has increased 30 Jper cent, the end of the past .year found the road 'absolutely bankrupt; all secur ities threatened; not a dollar had ever been paid to the stockholders and their stock is worthless.' ". A special Raleigh correspondent of The Industrial News, of Greensboro, rep resents President Garrett as having said that "travel had increased, but this had only served to contribute to the los9, since no rrfoney could be earned at the low rate fixed by the last Legislature. The greater the travel the greater the loss." in the light of these facts it would be a hardship to further impose a 2i cent rate on the Seaboard. If such rate were adopted for the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line,, a 3 cent rate might well be accorded the Seaboard, the Page road and the Carolina & Northwestern, or the whole matter of rates for this three and short lines than those name 4 could well be referred to the cor porationjeommission for investigation and action. ' It was seen in yesterday's paper that, a large delegation from the Order of Railway Conductors and other organizations of trainmen vms before the committee asking, in their own interest, for the .adoption of a 3 cent rate on all lines. This measure of justice is hardly to be expected yet it would not be sur prising if the whole rate question were oppened up and a different basis of settlement adopted than that agreed upon between the governor and the railroads because the differences between the members of the Legislature are radical, some favoring the compromise, others standing for the present rate and others still ;f avoring a higher rate than 2 4 cents. If this is done we mean if the compromise agreement is not ratified and the subject is tak en up de novo, so to speak the gentlemen of the General Assembly should by all means abolish the flat rate and restore the two classes of fares. The railroads favor the one fare but the public has seen enough of its operation to excite its digust. Ladies are frequently forced into cars with drunken passengers or cars the floors of which reek with tobacco juice and can escape these conditions only by flight to the Pull man. Perhaps not half the trains running in the State carry Pullman cars and the chances are that the seats of those that are sarried are all are nearly all taken by through passengers. Well behaved men , as well as ladies object to the con ditions which they so ofen encounter at present, arid if and one is dispos ed to defend the element which creates them it it is to be said that this element would prefer to ride in u second-class car where there is less restraint. The one-fare system is a mistake and if the compromise is not adopted as it stands and as the Gov ernor recommends, this feature of the case should have serious consid eration and attention. THE EDITORS WILL BE WtlCOWEO TO i CHARLOTTE. 3 The forest of the Southern Ap palachian Mountains have been cut so eagerly for the valuable hard woods they contain that very little virgin timber is left and about 85 per cent, of the area is second growth. ' The drain on these forest by many industries is immense, inej lumbermen are going over the land for the third time. First they took only the prime oak and poplar' saw timber. Next they took the oaks that were suited for barrel stave. Now they are after whatever mer chantable trees are left, such as birch, chestnut, and gum. Moreover, these forests have been and still are, logged very wnstefuiiy. Nearly three-ouarters of the timber cut for ties is wasted. Double or even treble the number of ties now cut could readily be secured from the same area without injury to the forest. By i simply taking all the suitable trees, 125 ties could be cut from an acre which now yields only 60, and if all of the wood in the trees were fully untilized 170 additional ties per acre could be secured. With mine timbers the Btory is the same. Fully 40 per cent, of the timber handled in procuring them is entirely wasted. Finally, fires are injuring the pro ductiveness of the Appalachian for ests by running over the ground and killing young growth. Circular 118, just published by the Forest Service, discusses the whole question of managing to better advantage the second growth forests of the Appalachian region.

The members -of the North Caro lina Press Association will, we feel assured, receive a warm welcome when they meet in Charlotte April 22 and 23.v They constitute a de voted body of workers for the wel fare of their State, and no commun ity in which they assemble can da too much for them. Mr. J. B. Sher rill, the capable secretary of the As sociation, has written that he expects the largest attendance the organiza tion has had in years and one of the most enjoyable meetings. We hope so. The editors will meet here by invitation of the Greater Charlotte Club, and we shall be .able to show them many of them have not een Charlotte for a long time and some never have a city of beauty, of thrift and of manifold attractions. They are promised an opportunity to see it to their hearts' content, and an opportunity also to see some of Mecklenburg's good roads. The Observer hopes that all of the breth ren, who are members of the Asso ciation will set their houses in order in ample time and come without fail, and that those who' are not members will join, which they may do by ap plication to i the secretary. The headquarters will be the new and elegant1 Selwyn Hotel, the hand somest in the State, and its commod ious assembly room will probably be the meeting place. It has been fif teen years since the North Carolina Press Association met in Charlotte. COTTOISr. i f'f Tf f f f Tf tf f ?f TT??f ????? TWCttiMS&UtM. 'r t 1 To the Editor: . Ever since my trip to Oklahoma and' rrtum, owing to my personal observations on that trip, con vicing me that the li07 crvp was bound to be. a short one. I hv earnestly urged our cotton growers not to sell any more of their cut ton than was absolutely necessary to meet their pressing ' obligation Those who took my advice and ware boused their cotton, have now a profit of $10 a bale and in my candid opinion witt aoon have t la. more, as 1 am more confident than ever of lc. cotton. The shortsightedness of our South ern mill men in allowing the err am of the crops to go foreign while they were waiting for 8c. cotton it a mat ter of deep regret to every good citi zen. : Up to now practically every specu lauve interest has been adverse to cotton. In my opinion thought there has never before been a time when conditions were so favorable to successful bull movement should bully or any other bold aggressive leader, enter the speculation market there is no telling where prices would go.

News and Observer. Those Democrats who doubt the wisdom of the immediate passage of a State Prohibition law, are invited to consider this fact: The distillers and saloon-keepers and those who have their money in the whiskey business, with the excep-tion-of a few counties, are secretly or openly antagonistic to the Demo cratic party.- In those counties where they boast of their loyalty to Democracy, it is because ; they know the only possible way to keep in business is to stand in with the dom inant party. But even is' such counties as Rowan most of them are opposed at heart to i Democratic success, and when they think a blow would be effective they would aim it at the vitals of the i Democratic party. I Moral. I he sooner tne power to injure is taken out of their hands, the better it will be for the Demo cratic party. A distiller .or asaloon man with an open place of business is a power in politics; the same man put out of business is as influential as a last year s bird s nest. Nnw is the time to nut them out and destroy their power to hurtj Colonel . Henry Watterson now Says that it is too late j to consider Johnson for the presidential nomina tion, and that Bryan is certain to be nominated. story is told about the discovery of the cotton plant in India some years ago. Two gentle men were driving out to dinner near Bombav. one host and the other his guest. On both sides of . the road were hedges. It was getting dark, but the guest noticed some white stuff on the top of the hedges all the way along and at length told his friend that he thought it pooked like cotton. His friend ordered the native driver to stop and the two Englishmen got down and examined. - The guest was riehf. it was cotton of an extraordi nary strong staple. ' Both men were cotton experts, and yet the host, who had driven along the same road for years, had passed the cotton without recognizing it. The guests immediately proceeded to buy up these, hedges, for except them there were none, that he. had seen during a twelve years' residence in India. During his investigation he discov ered that natives often had one or two cotton trees in their gardens and, the English club compounds possessed three or four in . different parts of India, but nowhere except in this Bombay district did he see cotton growing in such luxuriant abundance. S He bought up every tree and plant he could, for not a single native European imagined that it.was a cot ton tree that he possessed in his garden. ' - Murder and Suicide in Cafe. Sweeping through the crowed res taurant which takes up the eighth floor of Macy's department store in New York and into the gentlemen's cafe last Wednesday a tall stylishly dressed woman bent for a moment over the shoulder of a diner, whis pered something in his ear, and then drawing a revolver from her muff emptied the contents of the five chambers into his body. As the vic tim. Frank Brady, a newspaper ads vertising solicitor, ' slipped : lifeles to the. floor, the woman flung the weapon from her and taking a second revolver from her muff, shot her self first in the head and then twice in the breast. She died half an hour later. Strong Lobby Necessity! ; Jol Cbaadler Harris InUnoleRrmuV Mazarine. Jeff up'd an declar'd that it was a well-known fact; in j gubernational history that no legislatur' can organ Lie an' begin for to do business less'n it's got a good strong lobby forto tell it which bills to pass, which to kill, an' which to run through x the trimmin' machines a lobby that had plenty of money an' know'd how to spend it. He said that a generous lobby was the life an' soul of modern legislature's bekase ef it hadn't -'a' been invented, ever' last one of 'em would 'a' been disbanded long ago; thar wouldn't 'a' been nobody for to treat the boys an' pay the'r board bills ever' Sat'dy night. I Right thar I jumped up an' axed Jeff, ef that was the case, why did the Georgy legislatur' make motions like it was gwine to put the lobby in the pastur' wi' the dry cattle. i Jeff tuck me right up; he said that ever'body ought to know that them motions was est a sign to the lobby that the statesmen would meet 'em arter dark some're close to the Kimball House bar-room, whar they . mought argue p'ints, to say nothin' of quarts. I had to jump up ag'in to say that the membership-of the legislatur' was made up of ginnywine Prohibi tionists." . Jeff waved me down; he said that prohibition didn't count in a big town whar they burnt candles all night long for to : keep up the'r sperms. i Secretary 1 Hester's analysis of the cotton movement for the four months of the season from Septem ber 1 to the close, of last ' December shows that compared with the crop movement, Texas, including Indian Territory, has brought into sight this season in round figures 1.21'J.OOO bales less. Other gulf states, which include Arkansas, Louiaana, Missis sippi, Tennessee, Missouri' and the former Oklahoma Territory, not Oklahoma State, have marketed 400,000 less, and the group of the Atlantic States, which include North and South Carolina, Georgia,; Hor ida, Alabama and Virginia, have marketed 334.000 more, making the net decrease in the total of crop mar keted 1,285.000. Secretary x Hester shows the amount brought into sight by groups of states for the four months of, this season as follows: - i Texas and former Indian Terri tory, 1.348.015 bales, a decrease un der same time last year of 1,21,550; a decrease under year before la3t of AAAAAfcAaafcaaiaii g FARMERS' COLUMN.

Miuw) It rrraif 'aruif. Mr. Stribhling said recently that soil plowed twelve inches deep will retain more moisture and plant food than one plowed three Inches. In this brief remark there Is room for thought. On the land plowed three inches deep, and with a hard clay! right below, the water that the rains deliver runs off, and often car ries the three inches with it. On the deeply broken land the water sinks down and stays there and is brought up t4. the roots of the plants through tne capilarity of the soil if it is merely kept stirred on the sur face to keep a mulch of looae soil there, and is not turned up deeply In the Cultivation of the crop to dry out in the air.

Fear Jack London is Lost in Pacific The editors of Woman's Home Companion, for whom Jack London is sailing around the world in his lit tle boat Snark, state that he is now more than a month overdue at Tahiti of the Society Islands, for which place he sailed from Hilo, Hawaii, on October 27th. ! The gas engine with - which the Snark is equipped was not working well when Mr. London left Hawaii, and it is supposed by his publishers that he has experienced some more trouble with it, or that he has en countered the doldrums, and that his boat is rolling about, becalmed, somewhere in the Pacific. London sailed from San Francisco on May 4th and reached Hawaii about a month later. He is accom panied on his voyage around the world, by his wife, a captain, an en gineer, one sailor, and two Japan ese servants. The brilliant sailor writer expects to spend seven years on his voyage around the world, stopping at all sorts of interesting and out-of-the-way places along the route. $4, Ghost of Her Grandfather Showed 000 to The Girl . In a dream Miss Lucy Alvord's grandfather, who has been dead seventy years, appeared to her in her home in Taylorsville, N.

In the city market the change in conditions is all noticeable.
