In a comparative few years those
who wish to se. -timber In Its virgin
luxuriance will have to visit distant
and Isolated sections of the country
Under the new conditions brought
about by the exploitation of the vir
gin forests a type of woodlands
known as the old field pine has de
veloped Into commercial Importance
within recent years as a result of
clearing away the original forests
for agricultural purposes. This old
Reid type promises to Increase in
value more and more with the cor
responding Increase of wood prod
ucts. Old Reids are common, both
In the South nnd In the North, al
though they arise from different
causes nnd become reforested with
different species of trees.
In the South, before the Civil
War, vast areas of land were In cul
tivation which have since been al
lowed to return to forest. Many
thousands of acres were often Includ
ed within a single plantation, mostly
cleared, and- growing Bplendld crops
of cotton, corn, tobacco and mony
other valuable farm products. It Is
common today to see In certains sec
tions of the South, old plantntl-
of great extent that are now grow

The war waa responsible for this
neglect of coltlvstcd land. With

The Postmaster of Coolidge, Ga.,
aqd Postmistress, Mrs. Emma
Sills, of Ochlochnee. Georgia
desires to call attention lo the prac
tice of some patrons of rural deliv
ery of placing loose coins In their
boxes each time they desire to dis
patch a letter Instead of supplying
themselves jvlth postage In advance
of their needs.
This practice Imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers la removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of tbelr routes.
.The postmaster, therefore, urgent
ly requests that patrons of rural de

on hand a supply of stamps consis

rural patrons place In their mall

YnSliti Improvement
The following from the Wesleyan
ChrlBtlan Advocate will explain the
new methods being adopted ' at the
Vasbtf Home located In this city.
"The management of the Vaahtl
Industrial School has decided -to uni
form the girls In blue checked ging
ham for seboo) wear, and dark bine
serge skirts and coats for church
and street. These uniforms and all
other closing worn by the students
will be made In the school. Friends
and auxiliaries sending boxen will
please take note of this, and here
after kindly Bend inch goods as Indi
cated to Mr. E. E. Bishop or his
wife.
The school having been moved In
to the new building in the last few
weeks, and each girl given a single
bed and an alcove room to hereelf,
the institution Is in Immediate need
of bedding, towels, and other house
hold articles. We hope the contig
uous conferences will supply these
needs. '

cheaply located and many of these
are now cutting the beet trees In
these old field stands for lumber to
be used locally among the farmers.
The future lumbering will be car
ried on extensively in there second
growth stands of old field pine.
The situation In the North Is very
much the sane. White pine Is here
found occupying the old fields much
as loblolly pine does In the South.
The seeds are light and are carried
considerable distances to the open
fields where they find plenty of light
and suitable soil condition to make
excellent growth.
Fifty years ago or more there
were many small areas under culti
vation which have since been aban
doned and have (Jfow grown up to
white pine. Farming has always
been on a small scale but with the
development of great framing in
terests In the West, the farmer of
the Northeast has oeen handicapped
In his competition for tho markets.
Many of the younger goneraltl n
have left the old home farm* and
gone to the cities for more lucrative
employment. All this has resulted
In abandonment of old farms and
fields and many of these are grow
ing up to pine. There Is a tendency
for men who left the farms many
year* ago to retnrn and spend the
summer months among their boy
hood surroundings. They love tYe
native forests end consequently en
courage the growth ol pine In the
fields os re cultivated. So there la
an esthetic as syell ta a commercial
value attached to this young growth;
The white pine of the Northwest
does net compare in rate of growth
with the old field pine of the South,
but the wood, la more valuable for
lumber, boxboards, shingles and
other purpose!, and .the demand lor
second growth pine Is very great. It
la estimated there are 800,000 acres
of abandoned lands In southern
New Hampshire and a large part of
this is growing up to white pine. In
vestigations show that It 4a most
profitable for lumber these eeeond
growth stands of white pine when
they are fifty to sixty years old.
There Is a large and increasing
source of wealth In-our old field
pine lands. It Is never the. object ol
forestry to encourage tree growth ea
land that Is better suited for agri
culture. At the same time there
are vast areas uncultivated that are
discourages and lessens ambition; beauty,
vigor and cheerful

>vlien the kidneys are
out of order or dis
eased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidneys. If the
I child urinatestoooften, if the untie scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step'should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This anplea^mt
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser
able with kidnev and bladder trouble,
ami both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fifty-

including many of the thousands of testi-

this paper. Don’t make any mistake,
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,

Horrible Accident In Coast

A switch engine was coming to

at that part of the yard .which he
was watching, stepping as he did on
the track next the one occupied by
the engine. The engine attached to
the pay train was coming toward
him from the rear, having placed the
train on the side track, and at that
time was making for the shops for
repairs.

There were foresU of long leaf pine
everywhere close at hand and the
wood was much superior for every
purpose. Fenco rails made from
long leaf pine last many yeais, bnt
loblolly rails soon decay and must
frequently be replaced. Railroads
through the pine country would
accept nothing long leaf plna for
ties. So the old fields wer3 allowed
to grow up and remain untouched
except occasionally the owner would
cut down a few trees to prevent
them from encroaching Into his very
door yard.
Ideas are changing rapidly now as
to the value and uses of certain
woods. The long leaf pine la disap

few yonng trees to taka the place ot
the old. Necessity for fatar* wood
