SPEECH OB' HON. WILLIAM ELLIOTT The House being in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and having under consideration the bill (H. E. 14046) making appropriation for the naval service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, and for other purposes- Mr. ELLIOTT said: Mr. Chairman: There is no measure now before Congress which is of more importance to the people of my State and to the neighboring States of the South than the creation of the National Appalachian Forest Reserve.' In 1899 a movement was inaugurated by the Appalachian Park Association at Asheville, N. C, for the purpose of preserving the Southern Appalachian forests. The necessity that these forests should be preserved in order to prevent the washing of the mountain lands has long been advocated by geologists familiar with the country; but what has commended the subject to the favor of the country is " the increasing violence and destructiveness of the floods during the past few years, and the general recognition of the fact that the continued clearing of these mountain slopes would soon result in the absolute ruin of all the interests of this region and of the adjacent lowlands in the several States." The agitation of the subject resulted in an appropriation by Congress of §5,000 in the Agricultural appropriation bill for 1901 for the investigation, by the Secretary of Agriculture, of " the Southern Appalachian Mountain region of western North Carolina and adjacent States." This very prompt recognition by Congress of the importance of the project was due chiefly to its strong support by the press of the country, which has done more than all other agencies to awaken the American people to the importance of preserving the remnants of our forests before it is too late, and of educating them to a knowledge of the fact that these forests are for this generation to legitimately use but not to destroy. 5SC6 3

William Elliott (1838-1907) was a South Carolina attorney and politician who served in the U.S. Congress. In this speech before Congress, printed by the Southern Appalachian Forest Reserve, Elliott speaks on behalf of the creation of a National Appalachian Forest Reserve. By May 1902, when this speech was made, the Congressional tide had turned from the creation of a national park to the creation of a national forest. Initiated by the Appalachian National Park Association, in 1903, the association changed its name to the Appalachian National Forest Reserve Association and disbanded in 1905.
