E. H. AULL, EDITOR. .ntered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, January 8, 1909. CHIEF JUSTICE POPE. It is a matter of sincere regret to the entire, -State, and to Newberry especially, this bein' ils home, that Chief Justice Pope's health is such that he has felt it necessary to ten der his resignation. In war and in peace Chief Just-ice Pope, as did his forefathers, has serv ed his State faithfully and well. Of distinguished ability and of even temperament, he has adorned the bench of South Carolina, and was eminently qualified for the position which he nas held at the head of South Carolina's judiciary-a posi tion distinguished in the past by some of the ablest men, aid truest of head and heart, that any land has ever produced. And not only as a public servant -whose services have commanded the lighest respect has he held the esteem of the people of S-uth Carolina, but as a man who, in the stress and strain of all the high and honored and ex acting positions which he has held, has ever shown the tender and sympathe tic heart which is characteristic of true nobility and the unfailing cour tesy which is inbred in the true Southern gentleman, h-e has endeared himself to the people whom he has served. Chief Justice Pope's resignation takes effect on April 15, at which time his distinguished public career will be brought to an honored'elos?. His many friends earnestly hope that his health may improve, and taat he will be spared many years to enjoy his well-earned rest in the quiet walks of private life which he has chosen. CASH IN ADVANCE.. We announced some weeks ago that after the first of February The Her eld and News would adopt th.e cash system for subscriptions. During the past -few days. we are sending out statements to all of those whose subscriptions have expired re questing that .they renew by the first of February. If it -is not possible for the subscrib er to pay up what hre is due for ar rears we will endeavor to make sone errangements with him .for that, but we would be pleased to have him pay * for the paper for this year, otherwise we will be forced to take his name from our mailing list. We shall re gret exceedingly to lose any of our subscr9ibers but our ojpinion on the question of subscriptions has under gone a very material change and we believe it will be best for the sub scriber and the paper to adopt a cash basis. * We have run the credit system so long- that it appears that some of our subscribers do not feel under any obligation to pay for their paper at all. This conclusion is inevitable if we judge by the way some of them aet. In additon to sending notices by mail the label on the paper opposite 'the name indieates the date to which the subscription is paid. We trust .that none of our subscribers will be so ungrateful in response to the cred it we have extended as to be unwil ling to make some arrangement for past indebtedness and to continue their subscr'iption for this year. We ceannot make any exceptions and un less so'me arrangements are made we will be forced to part with quite a xumber of our old friends. * Remember after the first of Feb ruary unless your subscription is paid The Herald and News will no longer be a visitor to your home. Please do not delay this matter but give it your immediate attention. Those who are on the rural routes can secure money orders from the carriers and the amount for this gear's suibeeription will be very small. You can pay a dollar and a half, which will run the paper f6r one year, or you can pay seventy five cents for six months or fifty cents for four months. There is no euhse'riber wthO can not pay fifty cents if he desires the paper, and as we have stated, if he cannot pay the back dues we will be willing to make arrangements to carry that for a 'while. The president of the Civic asso eiation h-as calfled a meeting of that -association for this afternoon, at the rooms of the chamber of commerce. She h-as notified the mayor and ald ermen and members of the chamber -of commerce and all of the citizens whto are interested in the eivie i prorwnu't o)f curl eityv to meet with the indi'-.

Few people have anything like clear idea of the amoun.t of for wealth left in this country. Th< who think at all about this natu: resource which has assisted in ma rial development since the landing the first settlers are usually 1 much influenced by the condition that particular State or section which they are most familiar. If they live in a much deforesi or a treeless region., the people u. ally imagine that the country's ti ber supply is even more limited tli is actually the fact; on the oV hand, with those whose, hemes are eated in a section wh,ere 4 pinch timber has not been experienced, 1 feeling is likely to be altogether 1 other way, and some become so in] ferent at times as to think that thi is really not much reason to woi about a timber problem. Both < profit by a. reading of the act facts. The forests of the United Sta now cover about 550 million aci or about one-fouith of! the land the -whole count::'. The( original f ests covered not -less than 850 m lion acres, or nearly-one-half. The forests owned by the gove ment cover one-fourth of the to forest area, and contain one-fifth all timber standing. Forests priva ly owned cover three-fourths of area, and contain four-fifths of standing timber. Besides hay three times the area and four fir the forests, the timberland piivat owned is generally more valuable Forestry, or conservative luml: ing, is 'practiced on 70 per cent of forests publicly owned and on] than one per cent of the forests 1 vately ownred. This covers the co try's forest resources as they sta today. Senator Smoot, chairman the section of forests of the Natio Conservation Commission, in outf ing the future has'said: "By reasonable thrift, we can p duee a constant timber supply bey< our present need, and with it conse the usefulness of our streams for rigation, water supply, navigati and power. "UTnder right management, forests will yield over four times much as now. We can reduce wa in the woods and in the mill at le one-third, with present as well as ture profit. We can perpetuate naval stores industry. Preserva:t treatment will reduce by one-fi the quantity of timber used in water or in the ground. can practically stop forest fi at a .total yearly cost one-fifth ;the value of the stand timber burned each year, not con ing young growth. "We shall suffer for timber to m our needs, until our forests have I time to grow again. But if we vigorously and at once, we shall ape permanent timber scarcity.' Tired of Waitng.
