The crop is a fal^ one and the desire for offics stik inoreaMth. This •videaos of patriotic dsvotion to th« principles o| De.mocracy, this earnest desire to the people ,“to the best of my abiliiy^y thus rendering some good service to the age in which we Jire, is an inspiration known only to modern politics and an advanced ^hon^ht in the of progress and push. 1 believe oandidates have an- aounoed themselves for the various eonnty offices. In the distribution I A Big Sotitliern For est Reserve It has been pointed ouj; in the Federal Senate that the Appalach ian Forest Reserve bill, which passed that body the other day, is based upon a new policy—that of buying land now under private ownership for the purpose of establishing a public forest reserve- The .Govern- now posseses thirty-eight such tracts, rasGfing in size from a 10,000 acre reserve in Arizona to the 4,500,000 acre Cascade Reserve in Oregon. All told: the Western for«st reserves cover more than 46,000,000 acres. This timber land was originally owned by the Government except in one or two instances where Indian to , . .. „ ..rights in lands have been purchased of these cauaidates, the office of|.„j „ • l j • , ^ ,, , , , ^ . '»na extinguished lu order to add the lands to adjacent reserves. But the hills and dales of the Appalachian region which it is now proposed are has not be*n forgot^n, but as affecting the people in general and county as a whole the most important function of county eom- jnissioner seems to be overlooked, ^o office is more important to the tax payers and the general interest of the eonnty than that of commissioner. Usfortanatelj the responsibility is jw great and the recompense so siliall that aspirants for this '‘post of honor,” are few, hence the aristocra- ey of the “office seeking the man” is retained. 7^! ^embem of the prei en( board have been faithful and fsonservative and to them is due the graceful thanks of the peeple for the efficient service they haye rendered. But the number of oounty commis sioners will be increased and very properly and wisely so, and any new laember of the board should be se lected with a view to his peculiar llfness ^or the position. pe should be a man identified with ^he iiiterest of the county. He should pqi^eu clear perception, sou^d judg- Meat, and good business qualifica- V|ions and with each men the hum blest olBce woulu be adorned. Your writer would suggest to the ^oiers 0^ the county as a member of |he ^par4 of County Commissioners the name of Jno. L. Bailey, whose ^ualifieatibn and and fitness cannot ^e questioned. He is not an aspirant |or office, but if given to him it would ^.e worthily bestowed and none would ill it better. VOTIR. ^ man void of ambition is a bur den to his country.

They must be condemned and purchased Tust as any other real property is ac quired for Federal purposes. In yiew of the near approach in Congress of the day of final adjourn ment, this Senate bill to spend $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 for a Na tional Park in the Picturesque Blue Ridge region of the South, is not likely to progress farther than the bpea^er’s table. Should it by any means become a law the policy would have been fairly entered upon of dealing with local physical condi tions from the standpoint of Federal paternalism. Because unruly streams in the broad Ohio Valley sometimes overflow their banks and send tor rents of water down the lower Mis- sissipni channel, the attempt is to be made to minimize this mischief by preventing further denudation of forests in the mountain countr whence the flood waters come. It does appear that any amount of land purchases by the Government would limit or control the enormous rain fall in the Southern Appalachian region—over 100 inches annually— bufthe claim is set up thut unless something shall be done to save the Southern primeval hardware forests, inudations, now happily a rarity, will sweep over the lower yalleys in ever iuoruasing magnitude and vio lence. So a Southern Appalachian Forest Reserve is to be bought and put under Govornmeni care and pro tection. not to control rainfall, but to hold back the waters after their descent from the clouds. This proposition, like so many others, is merely another sequence of the events following upon the war flurry. The people have become ac customed to the exercise of arbitra ry power and to vast expenditures on Government account. Now that the naval and military budgets have been lightened, there has arisen promptly a demand from the interior that the enormous revenue of the Goyernment shall be applied in-part to s.chemes more or less allied to the cause of internal improvement. Philadelphia Record. Fooli^K Advice Negroes Sometime ago our tsjteemed con temporary, the Chicago Tribune, published an article upon the negroes in the South and their treatment, which might have done incalculable injury. It was an editorial advan cing the idea that negro«6 should arm themselves and adopt the shot gun policy to get what they want in the way of political and social rights and immunity form lynchers. The article was an exceedingly bitter one against the white people of the South, and if it could have circulated among the imperfectly civilized negroes in those communities where the black population exceeds the white it might have produced bloodshed. It was dangerously akin to putting fire to a magazine. There have been in the South many things done against negroes in the heat of passion which the sober citizenship deplores far more than they are deplored in the North. But we cannot recall a single in stance of harsh ti'eatment of a negro in the South because he was a negro. In every case the occasion of the onslaught was some crime commit ted \yhich drove people almost to frenzy. In denouncing the Southern people for their treatment of negroes our coptemporary overlooked with strange remissness, the intolerable outrages wliicn have from time to time been committed against negroes in its own Northern State of Illinois. These outrages have been committed and against negroes who had been guilty of crime. They were com mitted against sober, industrious and law-abiding citizens whose only ogense was that they have black faces. At the mines on Virden and Pana, in Illinois, sometime ago the negroes were driven off, mobbed and many killed. In Chicago negroes were beaten and shot down m the ^>treets because they applied for work. More recently, in Saline countj’, in the same State, a relent- war has been waged by the white- people against the colored people simply because the» were jQallantiy of a Soiittiern Conductor Frank C. Bangs, Ahe yejter^n actor is credited with telling of 9 profes sional trip through the South ihat involved i^ll-ui^bt ride in Norlh Cn,¥olina, Along about 2 o'clock in the moroipg the train came to a standstill. The cessation of the noise of motion caused some of the more sensative passengers to awaken and they called from behind the berth curtains to inquire the stop ping place. No answer was vouch safed. After the train had been there ten or fifteen minutes one of Bangs’ fallow actors pulle4 on his trouseis and started to investigate, but the condnctor was not be found. An hour passed, with she paissengei s all grumbling at the delay, when the oonductor stepped jauntily into the car, his lantern across his ^rm, and pulled the bell for the engineer to proceed. Questioned as to tlie lelay. | he explained; ‘JWell, ^ yoiing wo man got off right here—it’s flag sta tion. It was nearly 2 o’clock, gen tlemen, and there was nobody to meet her; so I offered my escort as far as the house she was to stay at, and she was kind enough to accept.

L. Rev. J, C. Troy of the IJorth Caro lina Conference now located in Dur- haup, tells the Raleigh Times that he is writing a history of the devil. Af ter a study of his 3atanic Majesty’s character at length he finds him to be a yery interesttng person. Mr. Troy is going to tell the people all about the devil, where he came from and what will become of him. This last part of the biography, which we sup pose will have to be called his ante- biography, will be of most interest to many who will read the book, and numbers of them no doubt will be mightily pleased to know that Mr. Troy has found out that the Devil going to be burned up after awhile. W^e hojpe ha has good authority for this assertion and can prove it to the satisfaction of his readers.—Wil mington Messenger. A VITord Xo Bo^^s The London Free Pi ess strikes the nail on the head in the following: When we see the boys on the street and public places we wonder if they know ^ihat the business men are watching them. In eyery bank, store, and office there will soon be a place for a ooy to fill. Those who haye the mantigement of the affairs of the business houses will select a boy in whom they have confidence. When they select one of the boys they will not select him for his abili ty to swear, use slang, smoke cigar ettes, or tap a beer keg. These men may have a few of these habits themselves but they are looking for boys who are as near gentlemen in every sonse of the word as they can find, and they are able to give the character of every boy in the city. They are not looking for rowdies, and when a boy applies for one of these places and is refused they may not tell him the reason why they do not want him but the'boy can depend upon it that he has been rated ac cording to his behavior. Boys can not afford to adopt the habit and conversation of the loafers ivnd row dies, if they ever want to be called to responsible positions.—Exchange. To Her She is enshrined in my heart, A treasure memory. In all 1 am she has a part, And will have—till I ^e. When hoar frost decks the trees, and all Is purest white below, Upon her name I softly call— She dearly loved the snow. And when spring comes with all its flowers, ^nd b^rds for gladness sing, And joyous are the sunny hours, I sigh: “She loved the spring. ’Tis sweet to be remembered so— I wonder if she knows. And where this memory will go When my life shall close. O holy loyeJ that santiiles Our common earthly lives. It is thy power that death defies. And through all times survives. —R. E.

Though we have had a late spring, yet there has nev er been a time when the farmer did not have time to pitch, cultivate and save a crop in this country.
