Off Some Where.?For several minutes the young man did not speak. His heart was too full, it was enough for him to know that this glorious creature loved him; that she had pronlised to be i his wife. With a new and delightful sense of ownership he feasted his eyes upon her beauty and realized that henceforth it would be his privrege to provide for her welfare and happiness. His good fortune seemed incredible. Finally he whispered'1 tendery- "Howdid it happen, darling, that such a bright, shining angel as yourself fell in love with a dull, stupid fd'low like ' me?" "Goodness knows," she murmured, absently. "I must have a screw loose somewhere."

PROTECTION FOR FORESTS;' m > Cutting of Timber Should be Regarded by Law Says Naturalist. GREAT NEEDTOR IMMEDIATE ACTION nt r.naat flnuntrv Made Rich at Expense of up State Sections?South Carolina One of Richest States in the Union in Natural Resources. By James Henry Rice, Jr. Any intelligent man that will look at the sharp hills and mountain sides, where pitiful attempts at farming go on, and then look at the great rich river deltas of the coast and the lowlands of the Middle Country, will be impressed with the energy wasted In the hopeless attempt at making farms where the Lord never intended a farm to be. But, after trees are cut away from the hill country, heavy rains fill the branches and creeks, the creeks send the rivers out of their banks, and a volume of water, charged with rich mud goes whirling seaward, sweeping everything before it. A first class freshet in the UpCountrv is an awful phenomenon. I have seen a railroad bridge swept off j1 like that much straw, and its steel [ bcr.ms twisted like green timber. One of the unforgclable recollections of my youth is spending whole nights on Saluda river, trying to rescue cheep, surrounded by waters from a. freshet. . i There we.*e men even in those days who knew the cause of such disasters i and who argued and pleaded with peo- 1 pie to stop il; but one might as well have pleaded with the freshet Itself, i The people who do these things are ] ignorant. They refuse enlightenment. The only powcb they respect is force, j The national government has done i all it could, with the limitations imposed; but the national government 1 lacks authority to go beyond a certain i point. The states must then take hold, i This makes the outlook gloomy and I unpromisipg. Every freshet in the i up-country sends some of the soil fer- i tility, which farmers have been adding to the soil for many years, swirling i down to the coast; whence tne rerumy 11 of the coast. It has received these i contributions for a long- time. 1 ' Experiments, made to ascertain the influence of forests in controlling i stream flow, reveuled a most interest- i ing fact. The flow of water from for- i eBted regions, which gives us flowing springs and wells, is regulated by the porosity of the soil in forests, the porosity being due to millions of roots penetrating the soil and aerating it with the help of the earthworms; for i the fine soil, known as wood's-mold is entirely due to the grinding of the par- ; tides in the gizzards of earth worms. The humus, or rotten vegetable mat- < ter, does not regulate stream flow, for jF = I LADIES' Fine Shoes i | up to $8.00 *1 ! Sale price . ? A !

Within the past fifty years the pco-' pie of the Up-Country have destroyed lorest growth that required more than half a millennium to produce. They have before them the hard and long task of replacing it. The wild democrat says these things are in the hands of the people. He is badly wr,ong. These things are In the hands of Clod, who, after allowing man to ruiv his course for a season, gets weary and takes matters in His own hands. The people are in the hands of God; and it will be well for them to awake to that fact. Cypress and Gum. Whatever excuse there may be for destroying pine and the areas on which it grows, there is none at hll in , the case of Cypress and gum, the Tupelo and the Black gums.

Among these kinsmen is the Cedur of Lebanon, used by Solomon in building the temple. There is another gum, whose value has only recently been discovered, namely, the Sweet gum, the famous liquidamber tree, whose nearest kinsman is the Eucalyptus or Blue gum of Australia. All the gums grow by preference in low places, Cypress, Tupelo and Black gum love the big swamps where the trunks are buttressed by bottling, the Cypresses, sending up aerial roots, known as knees. . All 01 tliese irees arc mm ^iunv.. and will- yield a plentiful supply of lumber, with ordinary care. The Sweet gum has proved to be the finest veneer wood on the contin-. ent. It, is in a class by itself. A few ypars Qgo'it was worth both!n'p ; today it is among the most valuable of woods, eagerly sought for, "and bringing a line price on the market.

It is only necessary to stir their passions and nppeal to their prejudices to make them forget every interest in the world.

No state in the Union has resources so great and : diversified. But something definite must be done to make these resources availab'e. One of the first steps should be the conservation of our natural resources. that is, the wise use of them. Prodigality and recklessness have had their dav. A state less amply endow cd would long ago have been bankrupt. Among the prime considerations is the saving of .the forests; for this requires time and thought. Unless it is done the people will be heavily loaded with charges altogether outside ordinary calculatien. The whole business of cutting down forests must be regulated by law; for the interest of the entire state is involved. Where the public safety is I menaced, the state has the right of eminent domain. There is no reason why the state of South Carolina should not regulate this matter. The town of Summerville has done so and has saved its trees, and by doing so has turned them into a greatf asset. If a small town can realize such returns, what could not a whole state do? DOWN ON CAMOUFLAGE Old Time Laws Held Women Under' Close Watch. Had a young woman in the present J day attire endeavored to get married | in the city of Charlotte when, this place was a tiny vil'age, under the rule of the King of England, not only would the brazen maiden have seen her nuptial knots untied later, but she would have been in danger of her life as well, , according to a discovery by E." F. ( YVellons, Chai lotto-attorney, who found ( it in a set of ancient laws governing j all English subjects that was enacted in 1G70 and continued in vogue for many years. i The funny thing about the. whole | matter is that right here in Charlotte , tliere was a time when a girl who wore high heeled shoes coulci be convicted of witchcraft! And possibly executed! j And cosmetics! Well, if any young \ woman sauntered forth in search of a j husband with paint on her checks, she , had to keep three Jumps ahead of the sheriff. Tho law held that woman is , a dangerous animal, and that the male ; species must be protected. It said that ( if any woman caught herself a spouse, j she must do it by showing herself in ( her true light. cou'd be convicted of sorcery if she even a'lowcd parfume i to be on her person when her beau | called to see her. A pair of false teeth certainly meant the gallows, for this was the greatest trick to gain a hus- i band of all time.

He required their faces to be as free of powder and paint as that of a nanny goat, and instated that every curve In the human outline had to be the real thing. The following is the law thai was passed by his majesty as recorded In the ancient statutes that governed his subjects around the year 1700 and later: "Be it hereby declared that all women, of whatever age, rank or profession, whether virgins, maids or widows who shall after the passing of this act impose upon and betray into matrimony any of his majesty's male subjects by scents, paints, cosmetjcs, washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high heeled shoes, or bolstered hips, shall incur the penalty of the laws now id force against witchcraft and sorcery. and <jnch like mlsHomennnrR and that the marriage, upon conviction, shall stand null and void." From this ty is obvious that when George Washington took the measure of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown he saved the necks of the feminine part of his posterity. And had not a more considerate king ascended the throne of England and later abolished, the law, the gallows would be working overtime in England today.?Charlotte News.

Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia was attacked. Friday in the senate by Senator Watson, Democrat, Georgia, wno acciarea mai in nis receni auuieaa to the senate defending the administration of the federal reserve banking system, the Virginia senator had applied "vile epithets" to his colleagues who had criticized the reserve board. Reading from extracts of Senator Glass' speech the Georgia senator said Mr. Glass had charged that senators were hiding behind the screen of constitutional immunity to utter libels, , against officials and added: "If such statements are allowed to go unrepudiatcd certain senators will stand convicted before their constituents as liars, charlatans and demagogues." Asserting that he had been "gen- , uinely amazed," by Senator Glass's assertion that the federal reserve board ' was not responsible for the deflation policy which, he said, had been "notoriously going.on for two years," the Georgia member read an official buile tin issued by the reserve board on May 5, 1920, in which it was declared that the increased discount rate put into 1 effect in the reserve system had not ( the desired effect in limiting credits. Senator Watson went on to say < that the Virginia senator had conceded that the regional reserve banks 1 had retired 11,000,000,000 in currency i which had been returned to the board for destruction. 'The regional banks are only cogs in the whole machinery," he declared. . "The reserve, board issued that cur< rency and it destroyed it." Why Not Ta>t Bil!boards??The state I tax commission has been very diligent j during the past several years in seek- i ing new sources for taxation, or some line of business or profession that could stand more taxes. During all this there seems to be one item that iias been overlooked altogether, and it Ls not so very small cither. Take the highways of the state and the main roads are lined on both sides by billboards. These boards are erected by persons or companies and kept in repair, and a good rental is secured. Are these people paying any taxes or license on same? If not, why not? In < the incorporated towns bill posters pay ' a license, but do they pay a tax on ( their property the same as others?
