7',.WEM77M e' J7 h T tH E naval stores industry is one of the oldest industries in the United States, deriving its i name from the fact that in the I early days pitch from pine I trees was commonly used to make I wooden vessels water-tight. The term I has persisted to this day, though the i products long ago found other and more important uses. The turpentiJiing of pine timber be- 1 gan in New England with the "pitch," or yellow pine, of that region, but it I was in North Carolina that the first i extensive development of the naval i store% Industry occurred. The records i show that from 1768 to 1770 the av erage exports of naval stores to Eng land included 88,111 barrels of crude turpentine, 20,646 barrels of pitch and 88,366 barrels of tar. Most of the crude was shipped to England for dis tillation through the ports of W'il mington and Newbern. The supplanting of the iron retort by the copper still in 1834' greatly Increased the output of volatile ol ind gave much impetus to the indus try. However, previous to 1844 not over one-half of the production in North Carolina was distilled at home. Then, because of the poor market for Mrin, the stills were transferred from the ports to the woods, and a heavy onslaught upon long-leaf pine forests of the south began. North Carolina reached its nnxi frm in naval stores production in 187J'S(0, with an exportation of 6,279-, 2l- illons of turpentine, and 663,967 barrel.3 of resin. A comparison of thip great exportation with a total pro duIon in North Carolina in 1908 of 732,000 zallons of turpentine -and 131, 000 barrels of rosin to-lls th-e story of fhe exhaustion of the long-leaf pine in thajt state. South Carolina attained Its maximum output of naval stores in 1882, only go years after fthat of North NP1 a. * T' invasion -of new --a, 4A 'of virgin timber brought Geor fpi to the front a fewyears later, but recently that state his been sur passed by Florida, which Is ~producing nearly one-half of the total value of ihe yearly output of the naval stoies ,YfW aJ~7Xf Qp THRNZ/G r a, us~d~'try. After following t'he long -~ le ing forests to their southern lim its, urpntining swung to the west war4 across Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, the latter state havinig be come a considerable producer only within the last seven years. Until recently naval stores were en tlirely produced by one of thle crudest and most destructive systems or for e-st exploitation ever dlevised. (Great damage by fire and storm has always followed the turpentine box. Thou sands of acres of splendid long-leaf pine forests have been abatndlonmed andl dentroyed after three or font- years of turpentining, and the valuable timber w hich they' contained not ut ilized. The V.V Ell"~ I il %244 !arlier operations of the turpentiner vere comparable In their destructve. iess only to those which swept the uitfalo from the western plains. The )uffalo was killed for the hide and iorns; the long-leaf pine tree for a allon or two of turpentine and a few )oufnds of resin. The destructiveness of the box sys cm at last became-so apparent and videsprend that to perpetuate their in, lustry the operators were forced 10 urn to other methods.

I recommended al -the various treatments I could thinl tof and he spent about fifteen dollari .on prescriptions, but nothing seeme< to help him. "In the meantime my wife, whi was continually suffering with a sligh skin trouble and who had been try ing different prescriptions and meth 0(ds with my assistance, told1 me shi was going to get some of the Cut icuri Remedies and give them a fair trial lHut as I did not know much aboui Cuticura at. that time I was doubtfu whether it would help her. 1Her ski would thicken, break and bleed, es r'ecially on~ t-he fingers, wrists an< Iarms. I could do nothing to reliev< e her permanently. When she first ar plied the warm baths of ('uticuri Soap and applications of Culicur: Q intmenat shre sawv a decided improve maent and i's a few days she was comr plctely cured.

But one even ing, to the surprise of his master, lie showed unaccountable signs of nerv ousness. When the chicken came on, he confused it with the pheasant. He served everything in the wrong order, made blunder after blunder, and put a final touch to his shame by upset ting the salt over the only super stitions member of the party. Then, at last, when the ladies had retired to the drawing room, he touched his master on the shouler. "I beg your pardon, sir," he said in a respectful undertone, "but could you manage to spare ine now? My house is on fire."
