In a recent letter must be appropriated by Congress to carry out this great work. It is not a State, but a government matter, for the rains in North Carolina are the waters that, have brought dam age and desolation to the mlTls and town in South Carolina and anything which is interstate in its bearings should be regulated by the govern ment. “The Appalachian National Forest Association has been tireless In their efforts but without material results, for there sits as speaker of the House of Representatives, one Joe Canr.on. who comes well night being Czar of this country and who, be cause be does not look with favor up on the plan, refuses to let the repre- j sentatives elected by a free-horn peo ple vn*e upon It and declare their will. "The Appalachian Association are, however, not without hope and be lieve that the growth of public senti- men* will eventually force Speaker Cannon to yield, and that soon an Initial appropriation will be made. '‘The need of forest preservation is plain to every sensible man however variec their opinions may be upon the methods of carrying out the work. “Some believe that the government should purchase the land outright and then derive a revenue from the sale of timber and the rent of its land. “Others believe that only the for est rights should be purchased and that with permission of the forester the owner could cut down trees, but be required to plant a new one for every one felled. “In the matter of details we are fcot interested, believing that the for estry department and the agrlcnltnr- al department are fully qualified to handle all propositions of this kind and that they will do so for the best Interest of all concerned. “Cotton manufacturers should rally to the support of the Appalachian National Forest Association and lend their influence to force some action by Congress. “The object is well worth all the time and energy that can be put on It and should have behind It and act ively aiding it every practical and patriotic man in the South. “Six feet of water on the main business street of Augusta, five feet of water in the Camperdown Mill, in Greenville, and up to the second floor of other mills, water seventy- nine feet above normal at Fayette ville and railroad bridges washed away throughout all the Piedmont sections are practical Illustrations of the effect of water with no forest to hold it and yet this is only s sample of what will be as years go on and the forests are still further depleted “It is a vital question and comes home to ns all, farmer, merchant and manufacturer alike and we can only hope for an early solution. “Our sympathy goes out to the suf ferers of last week's flood and espe cially the mills that have been hard- hit “Having struggled through a period of long depression, Just as daylight begins to appear and the sail of pros perity is sighted they are called up to stand a great financial lots against Sharon News Notes.
