9 the mountains, which are also the source of the waters, And how can one doubt this when we find that the destruction from these floods commences in the very mountains themselves, then invades the valleys lying at their feet, then overflows the rich bottom lands of the Broad, Saluda, Catawba, Wateree, and the Con- garee, and lastly, overwhelms the rice fields on the coast, the waters all the time loaded with the best soil of the State, which blocks up our harbors or stains for many miles the ocean, into which it is emptied and wasted? Not only is it plain whence comes the trouble, but it is equally plain that it is of recent origin, because these things did not happen in the days when Washington visited the State, nor for many years afterwards. What has brought about the change? FOREST DESTRUCTION THE CAUSE. All the evidence goes to show that the cause is the destruction of our mountain forests, which commenced some twenty years ago, just before the time when destructive freshets became so frequent. The lumberman first cut only the more valuable trees, such as the walnut and cherry; then, as railroads improved the means of transportation, he cut other somewhat less valuable trees, until now everything merchantable is cut, tramroads opening up sections hitherto inaccessible. It is estimated by the Secretary of Agriculture that, at the rate the destruction by cutting and fires is now going on, these mountain forests will be destroyed within the next ten years. HEAVY RAINFALL. Two of the most striking features of these Appalachian Mountains are the enormous rainfall and the splendid forests. Careful investigation by the Secretary of Agriculture shows that for a period of ten years the average rainfall in these mountains at various places in South Carolina, western North Carolina, and Georgia was nearly 73 inches. For the year 1898 it was at Highlands, N. C, 105.24 inches; at Horse Cove, 99.97 inches, and at Flat Rock, 78.39 inches. In May, 1901, in twenty-four hours it was 6.12 inches at Flat Rock, N. C; 7.25 inches at Marion, N. C., and at 8.3 at Patterson, N. C. There was a rainfall of 8 inches in eleven hours near Roan Mountain. The total rainfall for August, 1901, at Highlands was 30.74 inches,

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.
