MOUNTED RURAL POLICE.
Representation Nash of Spartanburg
Says Ho Will Support Bill of
Representative Aull.
Spartan Herald.
" K.stablishing a thoroughly organized
system for the bettor enforcement
of the law in the county is in
my opinion one of the most important
matters to he considered by the
general assembly," said Representative
.J. Wright Nash when interviewed
by the Herald reporter yesterday.
In outlining a police system
for the county, Air. Nash said:
" At present there is no organized i
concerted effort to enforce the law j
in the rural districts. We ought to
have a system of mounted rural po- |
lice. I find on the calendar of the ^
house a bill by Representative 10. 11.
Aull of Newberry, which will bring
this matter before the assembly. I
mean li> stand by that bill.
"There is absolutely no protection
against the breaking of the peace to
rural communities. If a man breaks
the law, !ie caiiiml be arrested until j
a warrant is i,.-.ued. I| is <|uile dif
'IVn hi in lhi' < i:y. A soon as a row j
breaks out I lie police are on hand to j
arrest the disturbers of tne peace. In
the country women and children, and >
men. for |!ie matter, can be assaulted
ami l lie offender be miles away from)
t iie see11e before a magistrate can be
reached. The wonder lo me is llml
llnre are 110 more crimes committed!
than are. There arc twenly-onc inagis- I
(rales i i litis county, and each magistrate
has a constable. These mag- j
istrates are seallered at considerable i
distances, and the const aides cannot
ad in concert.
"We ought |o do away with aS
these constables ami have fifteen I
mounted police, with a chief with,
.headquarters in Spartanburg. Let I
each policeman have a beat and rcp?m
I to tite chief every day in the
year. I,e| each magistrate I urn his |
papers over to the Iit policeman he!
can find.
"Pay .'aeh of I hose men a salary
that will justify him in keeping a
horse, and let him he on dnt\ all I lie i
time, except (lie lime necessary for
sleep.
"Let these policemen serve all
criminal process free <>f charge, but
mai?e the regular fees out of all civil
papers.
"(Jive the chief of these rural police
power lo call two or more policemen
and raid suspected places
whe.i lie deems il necessary to do so.
"(live the police of any county auIhorii
\ to call the police of other
counties when such trouble arises as
will necessitate extra force. In olli-l
or words, give the whole county aj
thoroughly organized system for enforcing
(he law.
"I hilieve that under >ucli a system
I 1 i:m 1 tigers and gambling will be-j
come very scarce, and thai women
ami children in remote places will I
have helt>r protection than I hey havej
ever had before.
"I think that (his system of rural
mounted police ought |o be maintained
for about $11'.(KM) per war. This
is very little, if any. more than the!
present haphazard system costs.
"I consider liiis one of the most
important matteis i0 come before
the general assembly, an 1 I mean to!
help Mr. Aull with i.is bill. I understand
that tliis system has heoy
.'worked with great satisfaction in sev.
oral counties in (leorgia. The country
is becoming so thickly settled,
- and -properly interests are growing'
so valuable all over the land, that the
people have a right to expect the la.w
to lake eai'c of them,"
ISavo the Appalachian Forest.
Atlanta Journal.
At the annual meeting of the chamber
of commerce, held on Tuesday afternoon,
John II. Finley, secretary
and treasurer of the Appalachian National
Forest association, recently or-1
ganized with headquarters here, made
a vigorous presentation of the peril
"which lies in delay as to the preservation
of the Appalachian forest, and
made a strong appeal for the cooperation
of the chamber of commerce in
arousing the interest of our congressmen
in the subject.
The association is endeavoring to
have a largo mass meeting held in
.Atlanta within the next two weeks,
under the auspices of the chamber of
Commerce, for the purpose of sending
a delegation to Washington in the
interest of the bill now pending to
acquire fivo million acres of the Appalachian
forest for preservation by
tho government, and there is no movement
now on foot which more strongly
claims the attention of the organization,
and of, similar bodies
throughout the south.
Our people are deeply interested in
the project to improve our inland
watorways and to construct the Atlantic
and Great Western canal,,
Thai is, indued, a project which i
entitled to the heartiest support, bi
without any purpose to make odioi
comparisons, it may ho accepted 11
true that the preservation of tli
Appalachian forest is the duty mot
immediately before us and on tlui
great work we may in largo measui
concentrate our efforts.
There is no remote disposition t
minimize the importance of inlan
waterway improvement, but whe
we face the fact that we arc indec
securing waterway improvement a
the very fountain head when we tak
the Appalachians in hand we gel
clearer idea of the work which dt
mnn.Is most immediate attention. I
is not a question as to which branc
of the work is most important, bu
which is most pressing NOW, an
the answer to that is, the Appala
chian forest.
We can do no better than prescn
'some of the more salient facts i
connection with forest proservatioi
The Appalachian range, oxtondin
from north (Jeorgia to New Knglaiu
contains sevent.v-Hivo million acres o
ground on which hard wood trees ar
growing, or can he made to grow a
an agricultural crop.
It is our only remaining source o
hard wood supply and at the pre.cut
rate of cutting will be exhauste
in sixteen years.
The Appalachians are the sourc
of all !lie important Southern stream.'
a.i.l the forest covering is of vita
importance to I hem in th?.ir suppl
of water and evenness of flow.
It is estimated that the south ha
three million horse power in thes
streams worth yearly, when develop
i'd sixl.v millions dollars, meaning a:
investment in the south of three liuti
tired million dollars, saving fifteen !
twenty million yearly on our coji
bill. We have 1ml made a beginniii;
in this development.
Twenty per cent of our forests i
already cut and its effect is show
in longer and more frequent an
more damaging flood periods (eigli
teen million dollars damage in on
year in the south alone) and longe
l<<\\ waP-r periods in (he summc
Illicit lis.
This condition lias already cu
down our estimated power largol;
(estimated by forty iper cent), am
constitutes a serious and real monan
to our water power and to the wate
supply of our cities and towns.
Our streams are rapidly filling
with san.l, silt and detritus, and navi
gal ion of our important st ream
Ihrcatened.
I larger and more costly dredgim
operations are yearly required I
keep our navigable streams open am
it has been staled that the sums w
shall soon be compelled to spend year
ly on dredging, harbor works, jet
ters, ets.. will pay the entire cost o
the proposed national forest.
Forest perpetuation, under nation
a! forest laws, means "perpetualioi
throu'jh use." Trees are cut undc
proper met hods, planted and raisei
under scieulillc direction and the pro
pr-v.l . i a I ioual forest in the Appala
cliians would mean not only a perpc
I n a I supply of limber, but a freedon
I rom most of the evils that a con
tinunnc' of present methods mus
inevitably bring upon us.
l''orest perpetuation is practical
':ane. profitable in actual returns oi
the money invested, and the result
cannot be questioned.
It is of supreme importance to tli
c it ire south, and to ils support ther
should be rallied the aggressive worl
and aid of the whole south.
II is of supreme importance Ilia
the bill now before congress shoul
be passed at Ibis session; and if i
passed the senate at the last sessior
and was defeated in the lions
largely through the indifference, o
the open opposition, of our souther
members.
The fads come home to us whe
we are told that the canals at All
gusla have filled up more during 111
past eighteen months than for thirl
years before. The same is true of a
our navigable si reams. All Ibis is du
to Hie destruction of I he forest!
which is pauperizing our fertile lands
obstructing navigation and revolt
lionizing our climatic conditions.
The canal committee of the chan
her of commerce meets today, to dicuss
the proposed mass meeting. Ti
land waterways would be diseussc
at the {imposed mass meeting, and
is proper that they should be. Bi
in the matter of forest prcsorvntio
we have not a day lo lose if tl
measure now before congress i3 I
be pased at this session; and if
is not passed at this session tire re wi
be no forests to preserve by the tin
the subject comes up again.
We urge tho importance of holdir
the proposed meeting and sending
delegation to eofngress as soon f
possible, earnest in their (efforts f<
forest preservation and Wie cana
but with the former strongly in tl
forefront for the present.

t bama, met with Governor Smith
11 discuss the transportation probler
(. It was known that the flat rate wi
j> discussed, but no decision was giv<
n out. Since tiie conference negoti

i- understood, are very anxious to rem
o an agreement which will give t-1
v same scale of rates in all of tl
j] southern states, and there has bei
e concerted effort on their part
s, bring about such a compromise.
"In Georgia the flat, rate will mei
i- an increase on several lines over t
present rates, which n^w range fro
i- 2 cents a mile by the Atlanta ai
