NEWS LETTER FROM FARMVILLE.
During the past years
timber lands have constantly in-
creased in value and owners
have derived a profit from
holdings due this appreciation.
This is a speculative, although
legitimate profit Timberlands
are capable of yielding an
profit independent of the
increase in the value of the
page, which is due to the annual
growth of the timber. This pro-
fit, which comes from growth, is
greater on cut-over lands and
from young timber than from
old Although it
on all land which has
any timber growing on it, it can
be greatly increased by definite
methods of management, by
protection and systematic cut-
ting. It is evident then that the
value of timberlands as
investments depend
upon the amount of the an-
growth of timber taking

value of farming land depends
upon the amount of the crop

from it. It is difficult for the
owner of timberland to ascertain
the amount of annual growth or.
his land and its consequent earn

to ascertain the method by which
he can increase the yield from

During the summer you prevailed on me to buy a disability
policy in the Maryland Casualty Company. Within a very short
time after purchasing same, I found that it was necessary for me to
have a slight surgical operation performed on account which it was
necessary tor me to remain away from my business for a period of
about two weeks.
The check presented me to-day in full settlement of lost time,
also covering cost of operation is very much appreciated, and I can
highly recommend the Maryland and yourself for the prompt service
rendered. Very truly rs.

There were two accidents that
caused personal injury. Thursday
evening, and both them wen i

at o'clock, the crowd
watching him eagerly as he per-
formed daring teats in mid air
on the bar beneath the parachute.
The balloon straight
up tor a great height then
a little to the north west. Mile-
Theresa stood watching from the
starting point, when she thought
the balloon had gone sufficiently
high, fired a pistol shot signal for
the professor to cut loose the
parachute and descend. The
was not heeded, and after
watching the balloon go higher
and for a few moments
she fired two rapid shots.
Then there was the sudden
drop through of the man
and parachute and in a few
feet the parachute opened
and checked the
row-like speed of descent. Yet
the exceeding calmness of the
air and the heavy weight of the
the descent rather
rapid. The balloon fell on Dick-
avenue near the residence
C. A. White, and the
parachute in the lot behind his
residence. Here was where the
accident came Prof. Broad-
wick. Ho fell on a picket fence
and the him two
very bad wounds, one on either
side of the small of back.
He was carried to Hotel Green-
ville where Dr. Fountain attended
to his injuries. Besides being
badly bruised, three ribs are
broken, but he is getting along as
well as could be expected and
will soon be out. he says he is
accustomed to accidents and
laughs about them.
The other accident was to Capt.
C. A White. He was in his
front yard, and seeing the balloon
fall in the street and the para-
chute sailing over the house he
began turning about to watch
the latter, not noticing carefully
where he stepped while looking
upward. By a misstep or
thrown down across
a curbing to the pavement. In
the fall his right wrist was
broken, and the left wrist
sprained his side badly hurt.
Nobles and Laughinghouse
attended him and today he is
resting fairly well. Being about
years old and not a strong
man, his recovery will be slower
than if he was younger. The
captain's host of friends
