THE APPALACHIAN FOREST v
RESERVE. v
Wherever the 'effect of deforest a- c
tion is known and understood there
is an insistent demand for tho pre- 1
nervation of the demaiuiug impor- <>
taut forests by tire creation of na- ?
' tional forest reserves.
The .Soiuh and the Kast are now o
asking that the general government n
shall do for these sections, tli<on li
a smaller scale, what it has done for p
'the West and the Pacific slope and |>
in the Rockies, where lf>0,0(H),000 p
acres of national forest reserve have
been establisiied with the minim uu <.
of rest rid ion and the maximum of u
privilege to the people whose homes j,
nro in or adjacent to the territory |.
af Ceded. ,,
Congress is asked to establish here p
tlii' A ppalachian forest reserve, ti
coin prising approximately 7"),000,000 a
acres mi the Atlantic, slope, e.xte.i 1- ('<
iMir from the New l'htgland stales on p
the north, well into (leorgia and Ala- si
'bama on t lie soul li. <>
Oovernment ollieials of the agricul- I"
tural department, dealing with the I''
subject of forestry, have written volumes
upon the importance and the < <
necessity of federal action it) the di- 1^
red ion of preserving the eastern for- el
ests. Bodies of engineers who, like n
the Atlanta section of the American e
Institute of Kleetrical Engineers, <>
have studied the subject individually d
and collectively, have passed resolutio.is
urging early congressional ae- c,
lion as a maltcr in which delay <>
means national loss. s
Were it solely a matter of the pro- I)
M'i.ation of the forest wools, per- I
haps little would have be.m heard of
the lores! reserve proposition. I'm I
a> has hern elearlv* deiuoiisl rated, I
I *
vastly more is involved. It is a ?|ii ?s- I |
I io:? of lli,- life ami vitality of mil- L.
lions ol acre-; of valuable auriciiltur- |
al lands, which depend upon the ; ^
proper disti ihnt ion of moisture Midi i ^
as can be effected only by the forest. ,
It is ;i question of the preservation I j
of (he sources <>f the important nav- |
iyahle streams of the Atlantic slope J ^
and of the e-istern mill'; likew ise of L
the valuable walerpowers through-!
<>u 1 the south and east, development !
of which has onlv just begun.
ll is I'stiinated that deforestation ' ||
has already caused a loss in this sec- I (
tion, principally i:i the erosion orlj|
washing away of farm lamls, of more s.
than .f 10,000,000. That is but a beginning.
France counted up her loss jj
i;i millions before she acted, and |,
then found I he work of restoration a j,
long, tedious and expensive process. ,,
Opportunity now confronts the :ia
tional government t?? take hold of |(
the situation almost in the begin
iiiug id' the destruction, lint it is a ^
dest met ion that promises to be swift
and sure and complete unless early
action is taken. .
It is more than a passing, it is a ,,,
national and a patriotic duty of the x
representatives in congress from In;
'south and east to m1) solidly 'back of jj'
this movement and demand favorahV.' s|
action by that body. They have it s,
within their power by united and de- js
terinined action, particularlv at a ),
time when there is no possibility of
making the plea of national poverty, |,
to secure this important legislation, |,
and I hey cannot afford to let it go j*,
.by default. . |j
Willi so much of our national fu- $!
ture depending upon this action, de- si
lay in the establishment id' the Ap- a:
palachian national forest reserve e<
must be considered as more lluin ex- o
"{ hazardous. - A t Inula Const it i\- " )i
tion. w
W^. nave never been able to mute;'- ei
stand just why it should be neces- w
wary tiiat the people should have to li
rise en masse, as it were, and poti- h
lion our representatives in -congress < <
to enact some legislation which would c<
preserve our forests. a
We have always taken it for grant- w
ed that our congressmen were at least tl
as intelligent and as patriotic as the p
average citizen and we doubt if you
<!ould 'find a citizen anywhere in Ibis m
country who would not endorse al- ll
most any proposition looking to the t;
preservation of our forests. a
It seems, however, Mint our con- h
pressmen do not view the situation n
in this light, or if they do tlrey are e
indifferent to its ni port a nee and it a
is, therefore, necessary that the peo- 11
pie call it to their attention and ask n
that something be done. Not only
is it necessary to preserve the Appa- A
lacluiin forest but we hare been too
reckless in a wanton destruelion of H
our forest's all through the country.
It seems that we might have improv- a
d our condition ami taken advanagv
of the experiences of European
:ountries, but unfortunately we have
lot. In some sections oi' this state
'on can find people who will cut
Iowa their forests and pile the tim>er
in heaps and destroy it by fire
imply to ?et it out of the way.
'The preservation of the Aippa.lahain
forest, however, affects the
vholc country and the land is not
aluafble exce])t to he kept in a foist.
We not only publish the above from
he Atlanta Constitution bui in anther
part of this paper we quote an
rticlc from the Atlanta Journal.
We would suggest to our chamber
f commerce that they should hold a
ieetin:?- al once and adopt resoluions
expressing: the approval of the
eople of this couunuuity in a proositon,
to pass an act of congress
rosvrvnir l!iis forest.
The Appalachian National Forst
Association has been organized
ill) head<piarler in Atlanta, and it
; proposed lo hold, in the city of Atmla.
on the sixteenth day of this
loutli. a mass meeting which will
ass resolutions and send representnves
to Washington nririnif 111*1 pass-e
by eo.iyress of fur Appalachain
ores) reserve bill, which is now
endini''. The Aillanta association dores
that Hie chamber of commerce
f "Newberry sihall send representaves
to the meeting to be held on
le sixteenth.
A\r,e hope thai our chamber of
Dinmerce willl hold a meeting prompter
and adopt. resolutions and also
lect representatives to the Atlanta
leetinir. AVv? take it, -of course, Uiat
verybody in this section is in favor
f preserving these forests. In adi
I ion to Ibis llliore is a local intersl
in this bill which is now before
undress, in thai Mr. A. I(\ l;ever, one
1' the representatives IJivun this
lale and who is well known in Newvrry,
has been placed iu dharye of
his measure.

tent a Merry Christmas and a flapy
New \ ear and this we have done.
We have spent (be best years of
nr life in an honest effort to serve
re best interests of our town, eounand
state and l(> ,ui\/c ijea<lctrs
clean and live newspaper. We
ave learned that such efforts are
<d appreciated. As to our subscribes,
we will see how they stand up

Remember that on the first of

WILLING TO MAKE CORRECTIONS.
We desire to impress upon our subscribers
>that in sending out statements
i'f an error should be made as
to tlhe date to which any subscriber
has paid and the amount of the payment,
tlliat we will bo gilad to make
five convection.
We arc exceedingly anxious to get
our mailing list correct and the editor
is now giving it his personal attention,
and while, of course, we are
anxious to collet what is due, one of
tire purposes (in mailing a statement
to each subscriber is to find out just
what is due.
fn I lie event of any doubt^ as to
tlhe amount we will gladly give the
subscriber the benefit of the doubt.
lit is impossible almost in handling
as largo a list as ours not to have
soanc mistakes. Of course if Mie
business was sufficiently large lo
warrant the employment of one person
to keep the mailing list, it might
lie possible not to make mistakes,)
but we have never claimed infallibility
and have always been willing and
anxious to correct any mistakes. II'
any subscriber has misplaced his receipt
and is certain that he Hi as paiid
and has not received credit, we .will
be willing lo give him credit for any
such amounts. 'Phis it seems to us is i
as fair as we can possibly offer. What
we desire now is to get our mailing
list as near correct as possible. This
is absolutely neccssairy undqir the
ruling of tlhe post ollice department,
which requires that subscriptions be
paid up.
Wo desire to apoligi/.e for referring
to this maitter so frequently in
t'ho columns of the paper, but ii
seems necessary in order I'hal our
subscribers may understand and appreciate
that wo arc willing and anxious
to convot any mistakes wliidli
liav-> been or may be made.
h is announced from Greenville
thai in all probability lion. Jos. A.
McCullou?li will be a candidate for
I'n'itcd States senator. In Ibo event
tilial Mr. M>c( 'ullough should enter
I lie race lie will make it very inter-j
estimr for the others who are aspiriuu
to this position.
Mr. McCiillough is one of the ablest
vouuir lawyers in this stale an 1
a public speaker of conspicuous ability.
Ili' is also well and favorably
known lihriMiubout the stale.
The farmer's union passing a resolution
to reduce acreage, is working
along the right line. They should
also resolve, however, lhat tihey will
produce as much, or more, on the
reduced acreage as is now produced
on tire present, acreage.
We believe that the farmers of
this stale could reduce their acreage
one-'iKilf and by proper cultivation
and fertilizing, make as much, if not
more, as they make now on the present
acreage. This plan would help
largely in solving the labor problem,
for while tlhe one-half reduction
would not reduce tlhe labor one-half,
we believe the labor could be reduced
very nearly in proportion as the
acreage.
In some parts of this county, for
instance, the farmers are producing
now better yields on one-half acreage
than t'hey did formerly on twice the
amount, of land. Of course such a
plan would require intelligent cultivation
and probably take a little
nvore work, but witill improved machinery
and intelligent cultivation
and proper fertilizing wo arc satislied
as large yields can bo had on
one-half the acreage, as on tho present
acreage t'hat is now improperly
cultivated.
