Dec. 7. —The long leaf pine can be brought back to areas from which it has virtually disap peared. This, fact is brought out as a result of an experiment that was carried out last spring with seedlings furnished from the Department of Conservation and Development nur sery. Word has just been received by As sistant Forester F. 11. Claridge nur sery manager, from A. M. Johnson, Johnston county farmer, that out of a setting of 3.70 long leaf pine seed lings last spring, only 11 failed to survive. • Because of the successful practical demonstration of the possibility of re forestation by seedling planting, Mr. Johnson plans to set out 3.000 and In* has made application to the For est Service for this number. Long leaf pine is confined to tlie Coastal plains region of the State. It has been logged extensively, bled for turpentine, repeatedly burned and ranged over by stock until in many sections it lias been almost extermi nated or replaced by other pines. The success with which the first efforts toward reforestation by means of ar tificial planting has brought a bright ray of encouragement that the long leaf pine areas may be materially in creased. This brings hope of rebuild ing the naval stores industry, which depend almost exclusively on the long leaf pine and its close relative, the slash pine. The Most Dangerous Jobs. Firing a railroad locomotive stands fifth among ' the most dangerous American occupations in a table" pre pared by the labor bureau, says Popu lar Mechanics; Magazine.

Jewels That Aided Columbus Valued At Half Million.

The merging of the Starnes stores at Albemarle, Concord, Salisbury and Lexington a short while ago for unit buying purposes, brings to mind the success of one.man who came to Al bemarle from a little Union county farm with little capital save a strong physieiepje, a kind and sympathetic nature, an honest open heart and a willingness to work. That man was Francis Eugene Starnes, now the head of a'chain of high class jewelry stores, leading Albemarle citizen anil business man and large real estate owner. Mr. Starnes came to Albemarle in 1808, a strippling of a country boy with his worldly belongings in a hand bag- “and the suitcase was not full either,” to use his own words. Ho opened a repa : r shop in an old wood- i en structure which stood on the site now occupied by the brick building of Dr. T. C. Splude. lie rented a window in the furniture store of Kirk & Swaringen where he worked for some time repairing watches and clocks and about anything else he could get to work on. After the Central Hotel building was complet ed he rented the small room now oe- j cup'ed by a barber shop. There lie j continued to work as a jewelry re- | pairer and watchmaker, tinally put ting in a small stock of jewelry. That Was hack in 11)00. lie later moved into one of the rooms in the old Ma sonic Temple building where he in creased hjs stock and did business until going into h's own new build ing in 1008, where he still runs one of the largest and most complete jew elry stores in the entire state. Meantime he was working and sav ing his money and putting his sav ings back into his business, his suc- r cess increasing like a snowball roll ing down hill, buying and selling real estate as well as jewelry, until to day he is one of the county’s wealth iest men. Tliv Starnes has done many things which helped contribute to his suc cess and happiness since that day when lie walked Into Albemarle back in 1808, but the best and most im portant tiling was the day when he took for yis wife Miss Letha Parker, flic young and pretty daughter of Mr. and Mrs, D. F. Parker, of this city. For he then took on his first real partner and helpmeet and one who has worked and schemed and planned with him and for him. and has greatly contributed to his success. For. as the popular song puts it. it was with her a case of “When the things you've planned, need a helping hand. I will Understand, al ways.” When Mr. Btarne* came here, Al bemarle's total population was less than 700, including suburbs and even the prisoners in the local jail. But like Abraham when he went out of the land of the Chaldees to the “Promised Land.” Starnes had faith in his new home town. He invested in Albemarle and Stanly county real estate anil made himself a thorough going Stanlyite. Today lie owns hundreds of acres of fine farming lands, a large number of houses in At Hotel Concord Thursday The following out-of-town visitors were registered at Hotel Concord Thursday : A. R.
