The operators of small mills are
cutting practically everything that
will make a two-by-four, and on
which they can expect no profit after
deducting logging, milling and trans
portation charges. They are, by these
methods of cutting, destroying all
hope of another crop of timber for
many years to come which could
otherwise occur within a ten or fif
teen year period. Then, too, the
cutting of this undersized timber re
sults in an increased fire hazard, for
the still smaller trees that are left
and which are entirely wiped out, if
fire enters the cutover area within a
five year period or even longer.
When this occurs, the landowner can
have no hope for another timber
crop during his lifetime, and hardly
a hope for one during the lifetime of
his children except under the most
favorable of soil, climate and pro
tective conditions.
There is no sound (argument in
favor of woodsturnino- ,and if we

Superintendent of Sanitorium Gives
Interesting Talk to Local Club On
The Work Done and Results At
tained By State Hospital.
The Red Springs Rotary Club had
as its guest Friday night Doctor P.
P. McCain, superintendent of the
Sanitorium, who gave a very inter
esting talk on the work being done
by the hospital and the results being
attained. Doctor McCain, who is an
interesting speaker, told those pres
ent many things about tuberculosis-
and its treatment which were former
ly unknown to them.
The State has made much progress
in the past ten years in combatting
this dread disease.- According to-the r
speaker, the systematic examination
of school children which is held each
year is doing much toward reducing
the death rate due to tuberculosis.
During the past four yea 50^0Q
school children in North raoiina
have been given the tests asd as a
result the death rate from this dis
ease has fallen from first place io
fifth and will probably go to sixth
next year. Even with this reduction
in the death rate there ore still
2500 pel-sons die from tubersulosis
every year in the State.
The disease is curable if medical
care is taken in time. There are
three stages of the disease: early,
more advanced and advanced. * Of
the thousands of cases in each class
I treated at the Sanitorium 93 per cent
- of those treated in the early stages
I lave been cured and 89 per cent of
I tnem are now working and earning
l a living. In the second class 60 per
* cent 'now working and earning a liv-
1 rent now working and earning a liv
ing. The percentage in the third
class is not so high, but then this
class is generally considered incur
able. This percentage was given as
23 cured, with 19 working.
i Doctor McCain said he hoped some
day to see every county in the State
maintaining a hospital for the treat
ment of the more advanced cases
with the State taking care of the
early cases, with the Sanitorium as
the place for treatment of those
coming from eastern Carolina and
another hospital in the western part
of the State to accommodate patients
coming from the western sections. ■

Mr and Mrs. P. P. Hall and child-
lina is importing from the Pacific
Coast large quantities of forest pro
ducts, which are usurping the place
once held by the Southern yellow
pine. And where formerly the words
“Southern yellow pine” were instant
ly connected in the mind of the per
son hearing it with the strong, fine
quality, straight-grained building
material of twenty and even ten
years ago, it cannot today compete
with the timber from the West Coast,
because of the poor quality produced
by the present milling methods.
Gone practically also is the tur
pentine industry which meant so
much to the welfare and added so
much wealth to the community dur
ing our father’s boyhood. The fire
demon has finished the work which
the open-range method of raising
cattle, hogs and other stock started
in their days. The old open range
is gone; the hogs no longer uproot
the young long-Leaf pines, they are
now getting a start again in some
of our counties, and if given proper
protection we may look forward to
tie time when the turpentine indus
try will again be a well established
fact, even as it is in Georgia at the
present time. And it will be a hap
pier, more prosperous North Caroli la
