Will is to speak in Charlotte Octo- i ber ISth, Thursday, the following facts ! regarding the forest reserve project, 1 will be of interest Cutting and burning the woods of j the southern mountains is causing the . floods and draughts. The floods sweep away fields, railroads and factories, cover fertile soils with sand, and fill I rivers and harbors with silt and rub- ' bish. Congress annuaUy appropriates ' millions for river and harbor im- ' provements, for digging out these de- ' posits and for raising the levees of 1 the Mississippi, only to find the evil 1 recurring in more extreme form. France suffered similarly. After • spending fifteen million dollars, she has planned to spend twenty million more in attempting to remedy imper- 1 l'ectly the mischief resulting from mountain devastation, in such cases, '• an ounce of prevention is worth a ton 1 of cure. 1 In destroying our forests, water- '■ powers, rivers, harbors and fields, we 1 are undermining the basis of our na- 1 tional wealth. We are squandering 1 our birthright, wasting our heritage and robbing our children. 1 The Old World is strewn with i wrecks of departed nations. One po- 1 tent cause of their decay and death 1 was the destruction of their resourc- '• es. America should learn by their ' experience. s The problems involved in the Appa- lachian question are interstate. The ; evils of denudation affect most serious- '■ ly distant communities and the nation 1 itself. The state containing the for- i ests cannot be expected to reserve them for the benefit of other states, while states outside the forest area, but suffering from forest destruction, are powerless to help themselves. The 1 question is therefore not state but na tional. Only by an act of congress can the southern mountain forests and the vast interstate, public and private, dependent thereupon be conserved. President W. W. Finley, of the j Southern railway company, in address- i ing the Tennessee Bankers' Associa tion at Lookout Mountain, June 16th, 1907, said: "It is particularly important, I think, that attention should be given to the scientific management of the forests of the south. In many other parts of the country the forests were practically destroyed before the advantages of the intelligent management of woodland properties were fully understood. The south is still rich in forest wealth, and other parts of the country are looking more and more to this section for their, supplies of lumber and of all articles J manufactured from wood. If the for ests of this section are to be of the! greatest value, not oniy to this genera- j tion, but to future generations as well,! it is essential that a uniform system. of forestry management shall be put into operation. For this reason, I am' in complete sympathy with the propo- j sition to create the Appalachian for-' est reserve. I believe that its creation! would result in the greatest possible i present profit, consistent with their j preservation, being obtained from our southern forests." Dr. Thomas E. Will, secretary of the American Forestry Association, is shortly to present this Appalachian question in a series of lectures in the leading cities of the south. Every in dication points to great meetings, deep interest and genuine enthusiasm. Boards of trade and chambers of com merce, who know no such word as fail, are working up these meetings. The first occurs in Raleigh, N. C., on Sep. tember 25th. The itinerary includes ; Durham, Salem, and Charlotte, N. C.; i Spartanburg, S. C.; Savannah, Ga.; Asheville, N. C.; Greenville and ] Charleston, S. C.; Augusta ana Colum-' bus, Ga., and Montgomery, Ala. On August 28th Dr. Will addressed the National Association of Box Man ufacturers in the Catskills. "Barrel and Box" in its September issue, said: "His remarks were listened to with the closest attention." The address was received with ap plause. It was voted that the secretary be authorized to send a copy of Dr. [Will's speech with the request that [each' Individual member become a I member of the American Forestry As ! sociation." "Packages," of Chicago, like "Bar 'rel & Box," published the address in full in its September issue and add ed: "The address was received with ap plause." The Brooklyn Daily Times of Sep tember 16th said: "Some interesting facts were brought out." Following are other references to Dr. Will's work: "Professor Will is a pleasant speak er. —Parsons, (Kans.) Evening Herald, July 16th, 1903.

C., Sept. 28—Charlotte furnished much thunder for the speak ers in the big prohibition rally here to day. Two 13-inch guns were fired by Judge Pritcliard and Locke Craig, who frequently clinched their arguments by pointing to Charlotte as an example where prohibition had heen signally suecessful. TLcre was a big parade and a large crowd in spite of the rainy weather. Speech of Mr. Craig. Mr. Craig began his speech by say ing that he regretted to antagonize some of his very best personal friends, but that this wa3 no personal mat ter. "I would," said he "be unworthy of the respect and esteem of my country men were I to refuse to speak clearly and unequivocally my convictions on or on any other question that is of vital concern to the people among whom I live. I will not denounce men because of opinion, but I come to ar raign at the bar of public conscience a great institution of iniquity. Saloons Doomed. "I thank my talented friend for the graceful words oi enconium with which he has presented me to you, but claim no great credit for the position that I take. As of old upon Belteshazzar's walls the doom-sentence was written by the awful hand, so has the death sentence been written upon every sa loon in Asheville and every one in North Carolina." History of Prohibition." He then gave a short history of the contest in this state against the li quor traffic. He said that while a school boy at Chapel Hill he made his first public speech for prohibition, that prohibition was defeated in the state by 100,000 majority; that the people who advocated it were not dis couraged; that then saloons were ev erywhere, in almost every town and city and at every cross-roads; that ( the temperance movement was not the result of any wave of temporary en thusiasm or fanaticism, but that it was a contest born of conviction, and a fearless determination to press for ward with victorious assurance. He; said that for more than a quarter of a century the battle has been waged all over North Carolina; that the saloons had been driven from county to county, from towns and cities; that in 1903 the Watts' law abolished li quor traffic in all the country dis tricts of the state; and that on the Bth day of October the whiskey power would be overthrow n in this, its strong est citfciel in Nortv.

It was AiJVup acftool for the poorhouse, tho use, the prison, the gallows. It blighted the true and beautiful in human lives. It took bread from the mouths of children. It brought the innocent to broken-hearted sor row. It can not be defended on any fine-spun theory of personal liberty. Such theories were never intended for the protection of iniquity; that the purpr-; 'A '-he government and of civ , il s " and of society was for the J [ • .eation of an invironment that en nobled and purified the lives of men. j "The universal conscience is the bas | i.i ">f all law,"' Jtn-i '_« at the conscience | of tre epckr.i«s not longer tolerate this institution.

And yet people would talk about the prosperity brought by the bar rooms." Mr. Craig spoke extemporaneously for over an hour. Man Who Slayed Sweet heart's Father Captured High Point, Sept. 28.—Chief of Police Gray last night arrested a young man by the name of Proctor, who is want ed in Davidson county for stabbing a man by the name of Myer3 at his home near Thomasville last Monday night. It seems that Proctor went to the home of Myers with the intention of stealing the latter's daughter, whom he wished to marry, and the two men engaged in a quarrel and finally fight, during which Proctor drew his knife and stabbed Myer3 in the back five times; then he (Proctor) and the girl fled. A reward of $25 was offered for the capture of Proctor and last night Chief Gray succeeded in getting him. He was caught in a house about three miles from town. Chief Gray carried his prisoner over to Thomasville this afternoon. The girl, Pearly Myers, was also arrested and carried to Thomas ville. In connection with the case Mrs. Lee Proctor was arrested for conspi racy, but was released on bail. It is reported here tonight that Myers died this afternoon from the effects of his; wounds.

PATRICK. j Snakes Tock to the Woods When Trainer Played Irish Air. • Ithica Dispatch to the New York World. District Passenger Agent Paul S. Millspaugh, of the Lehigh Valley Rail road, asserts that the company fo£ which he works has the most wonder ful trainer of rattlesnakes in its em ploy that there is in the United St&tcs "Why, up in the northern part of the state," says Millspaugh, "on one of our branch lines is a gravel bank extending from the track to the rocky wooded hillside half a mile away. The region thereabout is very wild, and therein abide many animals, among them rabbits, spuirrels and snakes, the latter in great abundance. "It is customary to keep at that bank two or three gravel engines and a steam shovel. We also have a man on guard to see that the machin ery is not molested, particularly in the months the bank is not used. "But the place is so lonesome that It is hard to keep watchmen there. We have had three or four in the last three years, and they all quit. Last fall we got hold of a happy-go-lucky Irishman, who is good company, for himself, and we sent him up to the wild country. "After getting accustomed to his new job this son of Erin set to work to establish friendly relations with the dumb denizens of the woods and suc ceeded admirably. "One day, while walking about a rocky bluff, he almost stepped on a huge rattlesnake. "The rattler was inclined to show fight, but the Irishman seeing the chance for another friend, managed to trap it and carry it home with him. For many days the rattler kept its distance and the watchman learned | that friendship with a snake was a dif ficult proposition. | "In time the snake became quiet and later, absolutely tame. It would writhe about the floor of the shanty and curl itself up at its master's feet like a pet poodle. It would eat food out of the Irishman's hands and begin to follow him around. Soon there came six little snakes and they too, at first, were pugnacious. But mother snake told them it was all right, and in the course of time they became as tame as the parent. "The rattles of the snakes were of different sizes and the Irishman con ceived a musical scheme. He lined them all in a row, with their tails up in the air. Shaking one rattle after the other he discovered that different sounds and tones came forth, and finally he shook them as sleigh-bells are used by musicians at summer re sorts. "Fascinated by the new instrument ne played frequently, and finally be came so proficient that different tunes were produced. 'Home, Sweet Home' and 'Auld Lang Syne' were his favor ites, and the snakes didn't object at all. "Being a patriotic Irishman, once he started on 'St. Patrick's Day in the Morning.' This was too much for the snakes. Mindful of St. Patrick and his treatment of their forebears many years the . snakes .rebelled. and beat it for the woods. Now the Irish man is without his music, and his pet snakes havo left forever. And the worst of it all is that the tones of that Irish melody penetrated far into the woods, and not a rattler is to be found for miles around." Convict Plar.s Not Approved. Raleigh, N. C., Sept .27. —Before the governor and the council of state yesterday there was the mat ter of allowing at least f>o convicts to the Transcontinental Railway, which S. A. Joms and others desired the state to own, a very ambitious plan for ten millions of stock having been advanced at the last session of the legislature. This did not meet with approval and then a bill passed al lowing the company 50 convicts upon condition that it met requirements to be fixed by the council of state.

Western Labor Conditions Kill Shipbuilding Industry New York, Sept. 27—Henry T. Scott, who was president of the Union Iron Works of San Francisco when that concern built the battleship, said in an interview, here, as to the approaching cruise of the United States battleship fleet to the Pacific that the navy of the future will have to be almost entirely the product of eastern shipyards, as labor condi tions on the western const make eco nomical construction cf battleships impossible. "Conditions are getting worse in stead of better in the lal>or market in the west," said Mr. Scott. "What with the added cost of freight on the mat' rial rr-icossary for battleship con ( struction and the la».t liiat with a I shorter work day our mechanics re ceive 25 per cent higher pay than in the east, it is impossible for western shipbuilders to compete with those of the Atlantic coast. "All the battleships the United States will ever sail on the Paciiic ocean will have to be built on the Atlantic seaboard and the people of the coast are glad the fleet is to be sent around there." Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri can inventor, says: "Fully eighty per cent of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; pecple are inclined to over-in dulge themselves." This is where in digestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. , The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you At the wrong kind of food, the digestive or gans cannot possibly do the work de manded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it de mands help, and warns you by head aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stom ach. Kodol will do this.

A young woman of Ardmore who confesses to being a belle has recently been the recipient of the addresses of a young gentleman who stands well in the National Guard and in financial circles. Matters progressed so far and so v.'e!l that on the eve of his depart ure on an important business trip the ' young man received permission to buy her a ring. Rather presser for time, he made a hurrned shopping tour the next day, and among his purchases included a handsome diamond solitare. • For his own use he bought a safety razor, and, the two purchase having • been made in the same place, he left his card with instructions as to en | graving and the delivery of the ring, . as well as the delivery of the razor. A day or two afterward the young wo man was mystified and mortified to receive a razor with the card of her i gallant inclosed. Where the ring was delivered is not known, but it is known among the young lady's acquaintances that when the man in question returns to Ardmore there will be something re quired in the way of an explanation.
