“BRUIT FOR REPENTANCE,’
The Moultrie ' Observer misunder
stood The- Times If It thinks that what
we had to say about. Its attitude to
ward ex-Slayor Woodward, of Atlan
ta, meant that we thought It was a
pharisee. We said that there was
much pbarlseelsm In tbe abuse that
was being heaped upon Woodward
and In the campaign that was waged
against him in Atlanta.
The Observer thinks that Wood
ward Is unclean and unlit because
his home people and his borne papers
thought so. By the same reasoning,
tbe Observer—had It lived 1900 hun
dred years ago—would have been
with the crowd against tbe one man.
It Is not always safe to, cast a man
out because of the outcry that la
raised against him. Majorities are
some times w-rong. We have not con*
doned Woodward's bad conduct, nor
have we tried to overlook It. We
have simply stated that an honest
man (Woodward's enemies have not
charged him with dishonesty) Is a
better man, even though he falls oc
casionally. than the dally hypocrite,
the continuous rascal who Is outward
ly clean and Inwardly rotten.
The Observer aa.vs that when
Woodward "repents and ’turns sway,’
bringing 'forth fruit meet for
repentance,’ he has our right
hand of fellowship, but not
until then." We have heard
that before. It was never uttered to
the open, confessing sinner. Christ
nowhere required "fruits" of the sin
ner who asked forgiveness. John the
Baptist Imposed those conditions
upon the Pharisees and Sadduces,
whom he denounced as a generation
of vipers and who Christ later on
denounced even more severely.
The hardened old sinner, who
makes no pretenses at all, or the
strong, weak man who makes a spec
tacle of himself occasionally by-weak
ness, or even debauchery, la not so
dangerous to good morals as tbe white
washed rascal who “makes dean tbe
outside of the cup and the platter,
but within li full of extortion and ex
cess.”
What We have said about Mr. Wood
ward was Inspired mostly by the
sympathy . which *w6 usually, have for
the under dog in a fight, or for the
poor devil against whom every foot
seems to be turned. Especially, too,
since we believe there Is more good
and lest meanness In him than thefo
la In many of bis accusorl.

Before the creation of the Ocala;
In Florida, the two forests in Arkan
sas, the Ozark and the Arkansas,
were the easternmost National. Fdr
ests. Practically all the other Na
tional Forests are In the rRocky
Mountain and the Pacific Coaat
States. The Florida forest hdL_.
area of 201,480 acre*, of Wjilch
about one-fourth haa been taken up
under various land laws, ft covers
a plateau between the St. John’s ahd
Ochlawaha rivers and at no polpt is
elevation exceeding 160 ’feet
above sea level obtatne<\. The area
Is by nature better fitted for the pro
duction of forest growtn than for
any other purpose. Nearly all /Of
the area, however, seeifia particular
ly well adapted to the growth X6t
sand pine which Is even now replac
ing the less valuablew*specles, and
with protection from lire almost the
entire area will In time undoubted
ly be covered with a dense stand of
this species. The long-leaf pine, a
much more valuable commercial tree
than the sand pine, appears rather
sparsely on this foreBt and Is con
fined principally to the lower flat
lands along the streams on the bor
ders of tbe forest.
In addition to the pines and scrub
growhts, bald cypress, cabbage pal
metto and tupelo gum, . gradually
changing to water oak, aBh, elm,
magnolia, hickory and maple are
found bordering the numerous ponds
and lakes which are scattered abun-
danlty throughout the confines of
this forest.
Fire has played a very Important
part In bringing about the present
poorly forested condition of the
Ocala, as year after year large fires
have burned unlnterrnotedly over
this tract, killing all vegetation ■ and
consuming the humns of the soli.
Naturally protected portions which
havent been subject to the flames,
prove positively' however, that thd
soil will rapidly respond to a little
care taking and that the prevention
of fire*'would eventually mean

for forest planting haa been secured
In North Dakota, the least forested
state In the Union, having only one
per, cent of tree growth. The Forest
Service expects to establish forest
nurseries with the hope that In time
to come the area may be reforested
by artificial means. Tnls feature Is
expected to prove a very good object
lesson to the settlers Who It Is hoped
will In turn plant windbreaks around
their farms.
