The Woman’s Club met with Mibs
Jackson Thursday afternoon. The
program was unusually interesting.
Miss Jackson’s article, “Napoleon iu
Italy,” was beautifully written and
well read. She concluded her paper
with Iiigersoll’s "Tomb of Napoleon.'*
Miss Lillian Fleming read enter
tainingly of the Sulvenii, and Miss
Ethel Fleming gave a very instruc
tive account of Victor Emanuel, Ga
ribaldi and Cavour. Mrs. Boozer
apologized for her numlier, “Italy of
Today,” saying that her subject pos
sussed a disease frrm which her pa
per was immune. The club, however,
anticipated the bright article winch
followed such a spicy remark.
This was the last meeting the club
will bold before adjourning for the
summer.

liAINURIIIUE \VU SELECTED.
The summer encampment of the
Fourth Georgia regimeut will take
place at Bninbridge. That question
was decided Mouday afternoon by
the three majors of the command who
constituted a board empowered to
select a camp site.
The companies comprising the reg
iment will leave their home stations
on Tuesday," June 18th, for Bain-
bridge, and the encampment will be
formerly opened on Wednesday
morning, the 19th.
The regimental majors reached the
city yesterday afternoon. Mnjors
O’Brien and Wylly came from Way-
cross at 2:45 and Major Little arrived
on the Central at 3:27. The confer
ence was held in Colonel Wooten’s
office and lasted several hours. As
has before been stated in the Herald,
Americas, Hainbridge and Warm
Springs wanted the encampment, and
all offered strong inducements to se
cure it.
The board of majors decided, after
considering the . matter fully, that

A New Southern Commodity.
A letter from Washington, Ga to
the Atlanta Journal gives an ao.io m
of an expeiiment that may-mean a
great deal for the ow tiers of southern
pine lands. The story is as follows:
"On yesterday an experiment on
the Lowry press was made on com
pressing pine straw. The straw is
worth in northern markets $15 pel'
ton, and the test was made to see if
the straw would stand sufficient com
pression to insure a y neecs-n-
ry to secure low freight rales from
the south to the north. Thu test was
a complete success in every particu
lar so far as compress.ige and density
is concerned. The press took the
pine needles without trouble and the
ordinary sized bale was com pressed
with a density of thirty-five pounds
to the cubic foot, with 250 pounds
of straw to the package, being the
same size as a round cotton bale.

ed to hold the encampment there.—

In deciding in favor ot BainbrRIge
for the site for the summer encamp
ment against the two other compet
ing points the hoard of majors acted
wisely for the regiment. Hainbridge
will welcome heartily the encamp
ment and leave nothing undone to
maintain her reputation for hospital
ity. The encampment will be located
on the site of histone Camp Camp

Independents was encamped, the first
company to offer its services to the
state.
The grounds are on a high level
bluff overlooking the river, the wide
spreading branches of the old oaks
affording refreshing shade iu in every
part, making it an ideal site for ari
encampment.
Since the board cf mnjors decided
to order the encampment to be held
in this city bt-iginniiig June the 19th,
there was a rumor to the effect that
it would have to lie postponed to a
later date on aeaouut of a lack ot
tents. The following telegram from
Col. Wooten yesterday assures the
encampment for the date stated;

The succes of this test menus a
new industry which will pour thou
sands of dollars annually iu to the
pockets of so itliern farmers which
has heretofore been lost. President
Harvie Jordan, who watched the
test closely, stated that he was com
pletely satisfied with the result, and
if the straw could be sold iu north
ern markets it meant a tremendous
revenue for Georgia farmers.
The bailing of pine stiaw for
northern markets on a basis o( $15 a
ton will mean a net amount of $8 a
ton to every farmer on every ton of
{tine straw he can rake up and -have
baled from his | remises. It will co*t
