~ BER CUT.
More lumber was cut in the Uni
ted States last year than in any oth
er year in its history, The enor
~ mous amount of 37,560,736 board
feet was produced, and the mill val.
ve of this was $621,151,388. In
addition, there were produced
11 858,260,000 shingles, valued at
$24, 155, 555, and 3, 812, 807, 000
lath, valued at $11,490,570. On,
the whole, 1t 1s safe to say that ‘the
present annual lumber cut «f the
Unitea States approximates 40 bill
ion feet, and that the total mill val
ue of the lumber, lath, and shingles
each year produced is not less than
$700,000,000. het fignres give
some idea of how vast is the lumber
industry and how great is the de
mand for its products.
A ¢lance at the kinds of lumber
" produced shows very clearly the
passing of pine aad oak, one the
. greatest softwood and the other the
greatest harawood the forest has
ever grown. Since 1899 the cut of
wl’te pine has fallen off more than
40 per cent, while that of white oak
bas fallen. off more than 86 per cent.
To day yellow pine leads all other
“ woods in amount cut, while Douglas
“fir—and this will be a surprise
«t 0 wmany—comes second Since
1899 the cut of Dauglas fir has in
creased 186 per cg!f"‘ Louisiana is
-~the foremost yellqg%;ine State, with
. Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas
Aollowing in orber. Washington
produces by far the greatest amount
ot Douglas fir, - .
A comparison of the lumber pro
_ ducing states shows that since 1899
“their relative rank. ashington
which in 1899 strod sixth, now leads.
while Wiscousin, __whlch eight years
ago led all others is.now third. In
the same perio 1 Oregon, Lowisiana,
Mirsissip i, Idaho and Calhfornia
made great strides as lumber.produ

Georgia, ;. Kentucky, Tennessee.
Missourigdndiana, and Ohio fell off

The :fiwst-priced native \guodéj
are wal hickory “and "ash, and
the cheapgst are larch and white fir,
From the tact, however, that since
1899 the_average increase in the
price of lumber has been 49 per cent
it will mot be long before cheapl
woods iye few and far between,

Service, which can be had upon ag.

~“ROBBED IN JACK
"~ 'SONVILLE.
Night Operator, R, M. Cameron
visited' Jacksonville last Thursday
morning, and when returning to the
depot to catch one of the night trains
he was knocked down with a brick
by a w¥gro bent on robbery. The
negro managed to get a little small
change and some packages which
were drogped by Mr. Cameron in
the scuffle. After a short struggle
with the robber Mr. Cameron man
aged to break away, and being un
armed, started to run, when the ne
gro picked up another brick and fell
ed him with a lick in the back,
breaki"ng one of his ribs and severe
ly brhising three others. A police=
man hearing the noise quickly res
ponded but the negro escaped,
While suffering great pain, Mr-
Cameron did not know how serious
ly hurt he was until he returned to
Folkston and had his injuries attend-‘1
ed to by Dr. Wright. ’

OUR WASHINGTON
o Al TB,
Washington, D. C. Feb 3, 1908.
The Senate is now busily engaged
in the discussion of the Allrich
currency bill, which was reported
to the Senate on Jan. 7, referred to
the Senate Finance Committee, and
reporied back to the Senate by that
Committee last week. It was
thought at first that there would be
a long partizan debate over this
measure and that its final passage
would be indefinite. However, this
unfortunate fate, has been averted,
by mutual concessigns,pf both Demo
crats and Republicans, When the
bill was referred “back to the
Committee, it provided for the issue
of only $250,000,000 currency for
emergencies, but it was amende(ll
by the Democrats to make it gSOO,
000,000, which is now a satisfactory
shim to both parties. As a security
for this sum, the national banks may
deposit State, muuicipal and county
bonds, and even railroad bonds, |
that have paid a satisfactory rate of
interest for five years or more; Here- ‘
tefore, Government bonds only were
aceepted as securty for bank as cir
culation and this act, which is the
most momentous one that has passed
for forty years, will mark a new era,!
in American finances. When the
great panic of 1893 came on, and
!the Vlittle flurry” of last fall, you
tsimp]y could not get any money
from a bank as a loan on any kind
of security, aad when the new act
becomes a law, any national bapk
)may deposit its securities, with the
Secretary of the Treasury, and re
ceive bank notes, with (‘-overnmenti
backing until it can meet its calls for
money. This will certainly make a‘
panie impessible in - prosperous
endous crop failuré will be able to
prodice Jne. A reciprocity treaty
}\vas approved jast week between
France and this country, by which
we reduced the tariff on her wines
and champaigns and France n turn ,
removes part of the duty from our
sugar, coffee and a few other articles. I
. WHY BOND THE
TOWN?
Because we need money to bore
an artesian well with, because we
must have better water, becarse the
town must be piped so all can get
good water, because improvements
must be made if we ever expect to
attract the attention our favored
section should have amongst strang
ers, because some of the most im
portant streets ought to be clayed,
because Folkston is growing and
all these things are needed, because
the burden of paying these bounds
fall on all alike. The town is grow
ing and every dollar of improvement
comes in td help liquidate the debt,
Because by amending the town
charter and extending the town lines
the valuations would be materially
increased, by reaching out a little,
a mile and a half or two miles more
of railroad would be put within the
incorporation, which would mater
ially help to pay off those bonds,
NOTICE.
. Tn the citizens of Folkston we
take the opportunity of expressing
our appreaciation for the liberal
patronage and the many favors bes
towed upon us while here. We feel
that we have made friends and hope
to see them again in a few weeks.
Very respectfally,

There will be a lecture at the

music rendered during the lecture,‘
by Mrs. Loughman, of Chattanooga,
the famous lady lecturer,
FOLKSTCN, GA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1908.
HON. E. L. WALKER.
Hon. E. 1. Walker, of Blacks
shear, and candidate for Solicitor-
General of the Brunswick -Circuit
was Folkston’s guest Tuesday morn
ing. Col. Walker left in the after
noon for St. George, going thiough
the country. His announcemént
‘appears eisewhere in this issue of
the Herald. : .
| Col. Walker is one of those fel
lows that, to know him is to like
'him, and it is said that'he has few
cquals before the bar of the Bruns
‘wick Circuit, He is said to be a
fluent speaker and a persistent work
er. That he is immensely popular/
is shown by the fact that, although
a young man figuratively speekmf, |
he has been called by his people
‘more than once to represent them
in first one¢ branch and then the other
in the State Legislature, Tltis safe
to say that, if elected, which hs
friends think therc can be no deubt,
the office of Solicitor-General will
be as ably and conscientiously taken’
care of as any citcuit in the state.
The Blackshear I'imes, in its issué
for Jan, 3oth, says of him—
In thig issue of the Times we put) 3
lish the announcement of Hon. E
Lawton Walker for Solicitor-Gen.
eral of the Brunswick Judicial Cit
cuit. Mr. Walker iéifi"é‘i:';’ strafiger
to the people of lierce county tor
is he a stranger to the people ofithe
Brunswick Circuit, and nge&,&‘.nq
formal introduction from our p‘m
Mr. Walker is a. member 3 e
law firm of Estes & Walker, & id is
a successful iawyer. He haimd
'lhe people of Pierce ag Rept‘et:“'
tive and,then as Senator, \gixn, i
satisfaction to his cohstituents. He,
was elected to the places of b
by large majorities, MM
e oOff of “SolicTtorCenerart
even a greater,majunty than on
former occasions, and we assure the
people of the circuit that he is well
qualifiedto fill the office to which he
aspires with credit to himself and
honor to his constituents, :
Another reason why we think Mr,
Walker should be elected to this of
fice is his location, being near the!
center of the circuit, where we thiuk
the Solicitor General ought to resids
$0 as to be in touch with all publi¢
matte(s pertaining to that office with
as little delay as possible.
The New York World (Dem.)
says: ‘‘lf Mr. Bryan is secking ihe
Republican nomination, if he is de.
termined to supplant Secretary Taft
as Mr, Roosevelt’s personally con
ducted cendidate, we can understand
his course. The Chicago Mconvent.
ion will unqualifiedly indorse the
Roosevelt administratien anda nomi
nate a candidate in sympathy with
‘the Roosevelt policies. If Mr. Bry
an expects to be that nominee, well
and good. His persistent adulation
of Mr. Rcosevelt’s demagogy then
becomes intelligible, The World is
willing that Mr. Bryan should be the
Republican candidate for president,
It is as the Democratic candidate
that we objebt to him, If he is re
solved to climb into Mr, Roo@velt's
band-wagcn we bid him god-speed
and wish him a pleasant journey,
But the Democratic party cannot
follow him and survivé as a Demo
cratic paity. The more vehemently
Mr. Bryan applauds Mr. Roosevelt
and all the extravagances of the
Roosevelt administration the more
incredible it seems that even a Dem.
ocratic national convention ma-e up
of Imbeciles and lunatics would
dream of throwing away the election
in advance by nominating him for
president,
