English Humorist Says Art
Is Eliminating Nation
T ' Lindt'
Jerome K. Jerome, author, humorist
end playwright, think, the lime I*
drawing near when .national llnee will
be eliminated with artists of the stage.
He talked about It Fridny morning
at the Piedmont while waiting for Wll.
11am A. Brady to arrive.
Hie vlewa on the subject were
brought forth by a question as to Ills
opinion on the invasion of England by
American actors, actresses and plays.
“That Is nothing more thun a return
of compliments," he said. "You have
an Invasion here of English actors anil
actresses now and again and wo have
«he same. But the nationality lines are
being eliminated. Nobody now claims
Bernhardt Is a French actress. She Is
as much America's, England's or Oer-
inany'e. The world Is getting that way.
A few centuries ago Europe was full
of small countries. Now there are only
a few.”
He eald It was growing to be with
art like It la In business, commerce and
trade, and that few |>oople marked dif
ferences between things Canadian.
Mexican or of the United States.
Mr. Jerome Is still wondering why
New York continues to go wild over
"Buster Brown."
Tired of “Butter Brown."
-“I should think they would gel tired
of him,” he eald. "1 ant sura lie has
been going around ten years and that
is enough to make one tired.”
He went to see "Peter Pan" again
Thursday night and he was charmed
with Miss Adams and the play.
"I liked it even better than when I
saw It In England." he said. "And 1
tell you the tears came to my eyes
when Tinker Bell was about to die."
Uncle Remue came In for Mr. Je
rome's praises and lie declared Joel
Chandler Harris and tils tales were
very popular In England.
Tile English author wus compli
mentary nbout everything except
American slang. Reporters use slang
when they don't know they are doing
It sometimes. At least some reporters
do and one for The Georgian union-
sclouely did so Friday. It was some
thing about being beaten a block.
"How?” asked Mr. Jerome. "Come
again and explain. I'm afraid 1 don't
understand."
He got the explanation and then de
clared he couldn't, keep up with Amer
ican slang.
“I thought 1 bail learned all the
slang.” he said, "when I was here be
fore, but I find you are always gelling
up something new. Now I will have
to begin learning again."

(Correspondence from Tlfton, Or.*
No work undertaken by Georgia club
women Is of more profound MlgnlUrnn.c
or l» more closely concerned with tlu
aociai welfare than tho uttempt to,.cre
ate public 'interest Jh the'subject of
forestry. A feature of the bplendid
program arranged by Mry J. I<. Ottley
for the Mellon* of the Georgia Pedera-
tion of Women’N Club, convening in
Tlfton, le the address which was made
Thursday evening by Knot A. Mill*,
government expert in the forestry serv
ice of the United Stutes department of
agriculture.
Mr. Mills, who Journeyed from Colo
rado to talk before the Federation on
Our Forests and How to Save Them.”
is the greatest forestry expert In Amer
ica. For live years he lias been from
tlnj* *« time employed by the govern
ment to experiment In and report on
forestry, and has probably done more
than arty living expert to arouse popu
lar Interest In I ho subject. His lectures
have been attended by thousands at
the*Jaiiiestown Imposition, and his na
ture book, which will be published
some time next year, will doubtless be
received with Interest throughout
America.
Lived in the Forests.
"Though I atn called professor and
doctor, and sometimes even reverend,"
explains Just Mr. Mills, "I have never
received any training In a school of
forestry. For sixteen years I have
studied and worked In the open, jiving
In the forests of the West, and of
course traveling over the country to
study conditions In all sections.”
In discussing the subject In Its rela
tion to the South. Mr. Mills said that
unless the people of our section awake
to the Importance of saving our forests
we shall In less than twenty years ex
perience u forest famine.
• I do not. of course, say that trees
must not be cut down; that would be
absurd. But unless others are planted
In their stead, unless some organised
effort Is made to preserve forests in the
South, the result will be fatal to agri
culture and Industry If! this part of the
country."
Just Practical Facts.
Reminded that few of us are ac
quainted even with the fundamental
scientific facts by which forestry Is re
lated to climatic, agricultural. Indus
trial and even racial conditions, Mr.
Mills answered;
"That Is the sort of knowledge which
I am trying so hard to disseminate, just
practical facts, which will be under
stood by and will make their appeal to
every man. woman and child.
"1. Kveryone should know that for- j
e«t* heat and coql slowly, and so pro
tect a section against radical changes
of heat and cold Injurious to agricul
tural interests. In Germany, where
waste and forest lands, in order to
encourage the planting of trees by the
land owner."
The recent heated discussion between
the distinguished naturalist. President
Roosevelt, and Dr. \V. J. Long has oc
cupied much space In magazines, and
has been the target for no little clever
newspaper fun. Mr. Mills, whose opin
ion Is regarded as authoritative, was
asked to express himself in regard to
, the controversy.
Roosevelt Partly Wrong.
*T can easily afford to do so," he
replied-, "inasmuch as my position Is
almost neutral. I do not consider
Roosevelt wholly In the right, by any
means. Am for Dr. Long, he Is one of
the. most fascinating writers I know on
natural' history*’ ami at the same time
commits certain Inaceuraclek • which
must Inevitably ^provoke an attack
sooner or later. 4 (
In coKnection with Mr. Mills* visit to
south Georgia, the story of a forestry
movement now- being organized In
Ware county Is particularly Interesting.
John U*. Greer and others, of Way*
cross, have organized tho "Country
«’lub of Ware County,” the purpose of
' which Is to plant shade trees on both
{sides of the public roads and to beau-
• tlfy the country homes of that section.
| Each member of the club pledges hlm-
I self to plant 210 trees, and to replant
until all gaps arc filled.
Thus will the open road blossom into
beauty and benevolence for the way
farer, and the man who Journeys that
way wll! sing with Walt Whitman, "All
poems and heroic deeds were surely
conceived In the open air."

This, you know. Ik no book theory,

they are doing, and we of the present

facts not sufficient to Impress upon
our educators the necessity of Intro-
din ing into our public schools the study
of the subject of forests?"
Mr. Mills was asked to suggest some
popular means by which Interest In
forestry may he aroused.
To Arouse Interest.
"The organized movement wll! prob
ably begin." he said, "as so many good
movements have begun, through your

agreed to furnish the steer. Both the animal anil the Instrument have
been gorgeously decorated.

of the Interior:

ARBUCKLE BROS.. New York City,
In a statement Issued Friday morning
by the railroad commission the rail
roads of the state are warned that un
seemly delays on local shipments must
pease.
The commission stated that numer
ous complaints had come to them from
over the state, particularly on ship
ments of bagging and ties. The state
ment Is as follows:
"Nearly every railroad subject to the
jurisdiction of the railroad commission
being represented, we wish to call at
tention to some complaints that are
oming Into the commission office daily.
These relate almost wholly to delays in
the shipments of goods, and particular
ly In the shipment of bagging and ties.
In one of these complaints, which Is
typical of all the others, the writer
says:
" 'When we are without bagging, our
gins are stopped, the labor employed at
the gifts is idle and on expense. In ad
dition to this Inconvenience, the farm
ers who rely on us to do their ginning
suffer great loss by their cotton not be
ing ginned. This loss does not only fall
on the glnners, but falls heavily upon
towns and points where these gins are
located, where the glnners ure unable
to secure bagging and ties. If the farm
er can not get his cotton ginned at one
place he will haul his seed cotton to
other points to have It ginned. You
will at once see what hardships and
loss we Buffer by the careless handling
of these articles while in transit.*
"The writer of this letter had a ship
ment of bagging and ties out from Sa
vannah to an Interior point In Georgia
which was thirty-two days In transit.
The rules of this commission are just,
fair and reasonable, and Impose a
charge for delays of this kind in the
nature of a penalty. These rules must
bu obeyed, aim If the iumuiSialuD Can
not have them obeyed In one way. It
will endeavor to And another way
which will bring about their observ
ance.
"If they are unreasonable the commis
sion will repeal them, and while no
formal order Is necessary at thU time,
the railroads are requested to take fair
notice that these intolerable delays In
short movements are being and will be
fully Investigated and full justice done
to all parties ijt Interest.
