Ryan's Deal-Will Ute Forests Be Slaughtered? (Atlanta Georgian.) Ia beautiful Tallulah Falls to give place to a dry ravine? Or will the national government step in and protect the falls by es tablishing a forest reserve? A powerful syndicate, backed by Thomas Fortune Ryan and his mil lions, is said to be negotiating the purchase of timber lands above the falls. The tract to be bought is a strip extending four mijes on each side ot the river above the falls and ten miles up the stream. The land is covered "1th valuable timber, and if this ls cut lt will'destroy the na tural watershed above the falls and the ralus will cut their way through other courses. It will be only a few years until the. falls. will disappear or bo reduced to a puny stream. It ls believed, however, that the Ryan interests contemplate Cutting the timber at an early date.- The syndicate ta making enormous pur ?bases of timber lands in West Vir ginia and in several Southern States, some of the tracts purchased being far from a railroad and not immedi ately available for timber. The same Interests are building the Clinch river railway and planning other rail road Improvements in the South, and it is believed they are investing in timber lands in order to "salt away" a large part of the immense Ryan holdings In something more substan tial than Wall street stocks. It is confidently expected that the next Congress will pass the forest reserve bill and open the way for the conservation of . natural resources. Besides being one of the beauty spots of the South, Tallulah Falls is on? of the most splendid water powers in Georgia. If the forestry bill becomes a law, steps probably will be eakeu at once to provide for the purchase of such land;; above the falls as will insure protection from timber cut ting and ! destruction of the water power possibilities.

Charleston, June 10.-Mayor R .ett announced his candidacy to night for United States Senator. Following a conference at his of fice at the People's National Bank he gave out the following statement: "To the Democratic votera of South Carolina: I have determined to be a candidate for United States Senator at the approaching primary election. I shall to-morrow file my pledge with the State Democratic committee as required by the rules of the party and will abide by the rules . of the primary election. I respectfully solicit the support of Democratic voters of the State. "R. Goodwin Rhett." The annouueement of the candi dacy of Mayor Rhett will be in the nature of a surprise to the voters of the .State, and his name has not heretofore been mentioned in connec tion with the office. He and Ex Governor Heyward have been close business and personal friends for years and with the decision of the latter to forego making the race on account of his health, Mayor Rhett decided to enter the race. Further than the statement given above Mayor Rhett said to-night that he had nothing to say, but that in the next few days he will probably make a statement. Mayor Rhett is one of the best known and regarded men in the State and it is admitted that his can didacy is a strone one. He is one of tho most successful business men in Charleston, having large financial in terests, but these have not interfered with a close study of public ques tions and on these matters he is par ticularly well qualified to discuss and make the race for the office that he seeks. He was a delegate at large to the Democratic National Conven tion four years ago. He entered upon his second admin, istration a-, mayor of Charleston last December, after having served seve ral terms as an alderman and has held other .positions of public trust. Mayor Rhett has spoken before com mercial organizations in Columbia, Anderson and other cities in the In tered of the State, where he has many strong friends and supporters. His discussions of financial and rail road questions have especially im pressed his knowledge of matters of the kind. This was particularly in evidence in the consideration given to bis views recently on the pro posed reform of currency legislation by government officials and writers on financial matters. Mayor Rhett is a good speaker and he promises to make a hard fight for the office that he seeks. He will en deavor to enlighten the public on the questions of the day and will make the race on his merit rather than on any attack on opposing candidates. It ls thought that he will get a good portion or Heyward's strength throughout the State. WANTED!
