' We published yesterday, from the Charlotte Observer, an article by Capt. Stowe, on trusts, which w e thought quite conclusive against these destructive pests as we regard them. We had no idea who Inquirer was, to whom Captain Stowe had replied. ' 'Capt. Stowe's article baa called from the author a two column re peply to which his name is signed. Prof. .Coon, Superintendent: of our Graded School is the author. With reference to the articTe"of Prof Coon, the Observer says : In another part of this paper Is a lengthy communication from Prof.XJ.

As the Index coppied Captaiu Stowe's article in reply to Inquirer and Inquirer is Prof. Coon, the reply of Prof. Coon will appear in the Index tomorrow, not because his positions are indorsed ; but as a matter of courtesy to the Pro fessor. The Southern National Park. Mr. George S. Powell, who is chairman of the Southern National Park Association, recently received ; a request from the editor of the New York Sunday Herald for pho tographs and data for an ar ticle on the park movement. Mr. Powell complied with the request, and it is presumed the article will appear in next Sunday's Herald. The park movement is arousing interest all over the country. The Boston Trans cript has asked for data for a two column writeup. '''The movement," said Mr. Powell, "is not one of merely local or sectional interest. One of its objects is to induce the gov ernment to practice scientific forestry in the mountains of North Carolina. It is pro posed that the forests of the great water-shed of the South Atlantic States be protected from denudition. This will preserve the natural beauties of this . picturesque region, arid will prevent the disas trous floods which will occur if the timber along the head waters of the rivers which flow from the backbone of the Blue Ridge is destroyed." One part of the project is the building of a road to fol low the summit of the moun tains. The committee on pe titions and memorials will meet in Asheville next Tues day, and the matter will be put before Congress just as soon as the necessary data, etc., can be obtained. The petition of the States ville people was one of the first to . be received by the Association. V. We wish to express our thtfhks to the teachers and pupils of the graded school for their efforts in this matter." said Mr. Pow ell. Statesville Reporter. Address of D. A. Tompkins- Mr. D. A. Tompkins of Char lotte, will deliver an address next Friday night at the A. & M. Col lege before the students and the friends of the college. Mr. Tomp kins is probably the most forcible and elegant speaker that the State has along industrial and economic lines. He is a man of clearf strong and large ideas, as well as a most scessful practical man of affairs. He has built sugar mills, cotton seed oil mills, spinning mills, weaving mills, and various other mills, in nearly, every Southern State.Raleigh Post. -I Re?.

The State chemist; was directed to investigate the., soils of the State by chemical, and physi: cal analysis with a view to classifying and "mapping, them and to make "fertilizer experi ments upon the typical soils. A committee consisting f of lumand DrAVR. Capehart,' was appointed to act with com-! missioner.of Agriculture and i State chemist in carrying out this work: Plans are partly made, and it is proposed to to begin by January 1. Per haps only one section will be selected as the subject of next year's work. The com mittee met last evening to map out its work. . Only two States in the South, Louis iana and Georgia, have al ready taken this important step. It will require several years for the State chemist to complete this work, but when it is done it will not only give the Commissioner of Immigration authoritative information to work on, but j will enable the Commissioner of Agriculture and the secre tary to furnish specific adr vice to inquirers relative to what crops can be grown on their lands and what fertil izers are required.

I have been be fore Judges Bryan and Bond, of South Carolina, and Judges Dick Brooks and Ewart, of this State. I am only attending court as a wit ness. I like our North Carolina judges, but do not like those of South Carolina, before whom I have appeared. I have always lived ou the State line, and have been arrest ed first in ane State and then in the other. In 1867 I was indicted In six cases in Asheville. These eases were continued by the uovernment for six years and finally not prwsed. When asked about the war be tween the States, he said: 'I volun teered at the beginning of the war aud served all through.
