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 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 Bninbridge presented the strongest nat „ ra , „ ute> 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.

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 bell, known far and wide as the most naturally beautiful park in th» slate It was here in 1801 the Bambridge 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; "Atlanta, Ga., May 10. Capt. T. S. Hawes, Bambridge, Ga. I haye secured tentage tor encamp ment.

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.
