The recognized spelling of the name

A resolution has been introduced ir.
the legislature to adjourn on the 15th.
The 20th will come nearer the date for
adjournment.
It looks a little like the legislature
was advancing backwards, in the
movement started to abolish the agri
cultural department.
The. Amencus Times says:
One-half of the world is constantly
craving what it does not need, while
the other half dies in need of what it
does not wish.
There are 413 species of trees found
within the limits of the United States
and territories, 10 of which, when
perfectly seasoned, will sink in water.
The heaviest of these is the black iron
wood (Condalia ferrea), found only in
Southern Florida, which is more than
30 per cent, heavier than water.
The wheat crop of the far West is
the largest in its history. Washing
ton’s crop is estimated at 10,000, 000
bushels.
The railroads arc uuablc to move
the crop, and the farmers arc making
loud complaints. Much of the crop,
it is said, has not been marketed.
Among the proceedings of the house,
on Friday, we find the following:
Mr. Ivy introduced a bill to receive
the office oi state geologist, and pre
scribing his duties. He also suggests
that where banks are or may become
state depositor.es instead of executing
a bond such institutions may secure
for deposits $50,000 ol state of Geor
gia bonds.
Save the Pines.
The Constitution sounds an alarm
about the rapidly disappearing of the
pine forests of Georgia. It Bays:
“ The long-leaf pine belt of Geor
gia, covering more than half the
counties and bearing forests whoso
yield well husbanded is worth $30,*
000,000 a year, lias received little at
tention from the legislature or the
public. Outside the precincts of the
lumbermen and turpentine farmers,
little thought has been given to this
great crop which grows without cul
ture, requiring no care and demand
ing only that it shall not he destroy
ed.
But it is being destroyed at au ap
palling rate. Of the $400,000,000
worth of pines standing in he forests
of Georgia, 40 per cent, or §100,000,-
000, has already been killed by the
turpentine farmers. Most of this—it
is safe to say 33 per cent of the whole
forest—has been sapped and doomed
within the last ten years.
There are now in operation stills
enough to sap the remainder of the
timber in seven years, and if some
thing is not done to stop them, they
will finish their work with more per
fect desolation than they did in North
Carolina.
And all this for the price of 75
cents to $1 an acre, which gives 85,-
000,000 for the destruction of fores ts
which, in fifteen years of good hus
bandry, would have yielded 8150,-
000,000 lumber aud naval stores with
out diminution of their own produc
tiveness,”
The TiMF.s-ENTEitrRi.SE has, for
years, been calling attention to this
subject, and trying to show owners
of pine lands that it was rapidly be
coming the most valuable property in
the State. The legislature should
take hold of the matter and do some
thing to save the pine forests of Geor
gia. The following statistics of
Thomas county are given :
Whole area of acres, 499,200 ; Pro
portion in timber, 1 5; acres covered
with timber, 99,840; acres boxed for
turpentine, 10,000; number of tur
pentine fstills, 14. Colquitt county
has 274,000 acres of timbered lands,
and 13,200 acres boxed for turpen
tine.
Save the pines.

John R. Slater.
Speaking of the vacancy in the of
fice of Solicitor General of the south
ern circuit, the Valdosta Times says:
We are informed that J. R. Slater,
Esq., of Valdosta, will be a candidate
for the position thus made vacant. It
will become the duty of the legislature
to name Col, Rountree’s successor,
during the present session, and some
thing more than local pride and per
sonal associations force us to indulge
tne hope that Mr. Slater will be chos
en to fill the office. While person
ally unknown, perhaps, to many of the
members of the legislature, to his
friends and acquances in south and
southeastern Georgia, Mr. Slater is
regarded as one of the most brilliant
young lawyers in this portion of Geor
gia. In fact, he has already establish
ed an enviable reputatton as an able,
eloquent and earnest solicitor at the
bar. He has a large and lucrative
practice, and the unlimited confidence
i those who k ow mm. 1 here is no
young lawyer in this district better
qualified for the position—perhaps
none as well equipped for the duties
and responsibilities of the office of so
licitor general.
Wc have heard of no other candi
date for the place. We hope there
will be none, and that the legislature
will unanimously choose this brilliant
young attorney lor the position.”
Mr. Slater would, undoubtedly, make
an excellent Solicitor, and the proba
bilities are that he will be elected
without opposition. It would be a
fitting tribute to the integrity, high
character and ability, of the gentle-
