Special to tho Demc rent:-Wash ingt* ?', 1) C, Fob 15J-In a ro cco Hearing before tho commit* teo on agriculture coneering the Appalachian Forest Reserve there were a number of eloquent ad dresses made by delegates from several states, appealing to the committee for a favorable report, and urging the need of such legis lation for the country. This bill will provide for an appropriation to secure this reservation in order that tho timber of the country may be saved from devastation. In connection with this movement tito valuable service contributed by Senator Latimor ol' South Car olina is of noteworthy mention. 1 LVom thc record it is ascertained thai Senator Lulimcr in co-opcra with Senator Simmons of North Carolina began ns pioneers, to stir a favorable sentiment for this work, lt may be well said that tho preset i agitation of lins sub ject is duo largely to tlx4 activity of Senator Latimor in pointing out tho necessity of such legisla tion. lt hus taken much though, unusual tact, ami Very considera ble tune to bring into thc serious consideration of tho leading states man ol' the nation. We are privi leged to assort I hat tho attitude ol thc pending measure permits its to venture that al present it is in ? most promising light for passage at this session. Asa preliminary part of this work there has linen under way since last session a sur voy of tho proposed tracts of land t<? bo incorporated in this Ucscr vation. lt was Senators Simmons and Latinier, who i>y their quiet forceful method of work n the last session of congress secured n sullicient appropriation lo have this done, which in itself is quite a victory. 1 lonee wo aro of the opinion that if Senator Latimor should hoi succeed al this session in bringing about the desired end, such legislation will at any rate, ultimately lie enacted into law. object tho ref undine- pf $08,000, 000.00 of cotton tax money which was in violat ion of tho federal con stitution, levied and collected from the < ot ton states between tho years ol' I SO I and l K<>8 Mr A ikon is giving abundant time to this mat ter and will co-operate with ti nuYn her of other soul hern represent tl tivos in demanding of the govern ment to refund Ibis illegally collec ted money to the people of lite south. This liill provided that tho $08,000,000 00 be prorated lo thc several states according lo thc amount they pani as taxes, and eventually refunded to those who paid thc laxes al tho time prod ved bona lido claims Wo presented for the amount so paid. The re maining amount of this fund is to bo deposited in thc treasury of tho state. Mr Aiken expressed him self as of the opinion that the hill was In good favor and that tho possibility of its passage was en couraging. Should ho succeed in this effort it would be a groat boon to tho entire Southland. Representative Kller.be of South Carolina is doing some valiant work just at this time in regard to securing an appropriation ol* $100,000 for thc erection of a post ollico building at Darlington, South Carolina. Mr Kl 1er bo stated that he was hopeful qt success in this undertaking, and especially so on account of tito striking need of such a building as he proposes to have erected. Before the com mittee ho made a strong contrast with tho present edifice as com pared to other public buildings at Darlington. Mr Kllorbc is ambi tious tO do justice to tho pride of his people and for this reason will make a determined effort to gain a favorblo rcportjfrom thc committee recommending that the $100,000 be allowed for tho desired pu rpo e. Ho has filed letters from his con stituents, and other information which will bo valuable evidence in his hearing; also a number of pic tures made Of buildings in the same vicinity and section of the city where the post oflice is to bc located, together with a picture of thc present building used for this purpose. These pictures aro in themselves sufficiently convincing to warrant a favorable report and Mr LCI lor bo entertains tho expecta tion that ho will bc able to have his bill enacted into law as orig inally drafted, to his const)tu cuts a magnificent public structure w hich will be an onamont to the city of Darlington and stand as a monument lo his untiring efforts in this undertaking. lien 11 Sullivan.

A dis cussion of the dog subject. 1 have just beard with sorrow, that a doir lias bitten tho little child of Mr. Will Spears, and he ??one with her to Atlanta, to have her treated if the test proves that tho dog was mud, as he car ried thc dog's head with him. 1 wish lie could have carried ten sol iv. cars of heads instead of one. When I heard of it I was shocked beyond measure. It brings to my mind that less than a year since 1 had the. same sad experience. So I lind myself in ?i proper frame of mind to pay my respects to those contemptible, trou bio making, lie: ch-lcgged cusses. Tho rendors of the Advocate will recall that in an article a few months since 1 made, the prediction that just as long as every other house could boast of from ono to three; dogs thc people would be in danger ol' being bitten by mad dogs. My prediction basc?me true, and Mr. Gibson, anti child, and little IC? li tl i Spears, was the Unfortunate ones.

Thc Quarterly conference of the Methodist church was held last Sunday. Presiding Kider Kilgo, of this district, was present and preached at thc morning service. Thc sermon was very practical and was listened to with close attention. Taking as his subject" Thc need ol' the Church for thc business meir*, Mr. Kilgo proceeded to show tho present attitude of thc business man towards the church. Ile said that tho business man gave probably more liberally to thc church today than they had ever done before. Hut there they seemed to think that their buty ended. They left the work to bc carried on for the most part by the women. The business man would say that he was too busy when he was approached and ask ed to head any movement. Thc gulf between the pastor and thc businessman seemed to bc widon cning. lb- could hardly bc persua ded to walk a few blocks and at tend a meeting ol' the conference whore formerly his fathers had ridden miles and spent two or three days nt a meeting of the conference. Ile was absent from prayer meeting and from the Sun day school. Dr. Kilgo demonstrated thc need of thc business man in tho Sunday school and his effect on the,voung' boy. When the chil dren are small a lady is the best teacher. Lut when the boy get to putting on long pants and to sprouting a mustache he feels that he must get away from petticoat government and unless a man was present to take him in charge he would probably bo lost to thc Sun day school if not to thc church. The boys as they grow up follow -o+o ? HEIGHT WRECK ON A. C. L. Cars Derailed Near Parktoiv-No One Hurt.
