Tho news of tho Inundation and an nihilation of southwest Italy, Includ ing tho provinces of Coscnzn, Catan- zaro and Reggio dl Calabria, by tidal wave and earthquake, Is Interesting, but sad intelligence) to the colony of Italians at the Bibb mills. It will bo recalled that these are the people that came to Macon about a year and a lmlf ago to cast tho!r lot In the land of tho free, and for tho short time that 1 they have been residing here all hqyo con ducted themselves on nn upright plane and have shown by their hard work that they are the typo of citizens that tho south is always glad to welcome In the development of Its Inexhuustlblo resources. All of these people aro from tho abovo named provinces and pro deep ly concerned' over the many relatives they left at home. Each, aiid overy ono has a brother, .sister, mother, fath er or somo relative In .the stricken territory. Owing to the meager, but authentic and confirmed details of the death and destruction, nnd the cutting ofT of telegraphic communica tion, It will be. pomp days before they will be able to learn anything In regard to their loved ones. Tho dispatches state that the destruction wrought will outrivn! that ' which' made a barren waste of, and completely, destroyed Pom-pell nnd Herculaneum, some nine teen centuries ago.

WINTER’S WOOD ANO HOW TOJUI SUPPLY STATE FORESTER I88UES TIMELY BULLETIN RELATIVE TO FOR EST PRESERVATION. ATHENS, Ga., Dec. 20—Forester Al fred Ackerman Is the author of bulle tin No. 13 Issued by the StatM College of Agriculture. It follows: Most fanners find It ■ convenient to. cut their supply of fire wood-during the winter months. The removal of this fire wood may mean so much drain or so much Improvement of the farmer’s woods, depending on how the work is done. Generally our farmers are not careful enough about the tre6s that they tako for fire w«»od, taking pret ty much everything that comes to hand. In this.way trees thut would develop Into valuable saw timber are often sacrificed when Inferior trees would answer the purpose Just hm well. As far as practicable the firo wood should com»i from the dead, crooked, diseased and suppressed trees, and the thrifty, straight, sound trees should be saved for saw timber. When lumber at Its present prices, it is little short of sin to cut up for cord wood trees that bring now, or wiy In a ftw years, two or three times os much for lumber as for cord wood. Moreover, there are often many dif ferent kinds of trees In the farm«*r*s woods. Borne are more valuable than others. For IgrtiBM blekerjr, white oak, yellow poplar, chestnut, locust ond ash are worth more for lumber than black jack, red oak, red maple, sweat gum, black gum, and the like. There, fore, these less valuable traes should be used as far as practicable for fuel and the othera should be saved for posts, poles, and lumber. This selection not only saves the better trees of the better kinds for the higher uses, hut It makes more room for the better trees to grow. They grow faster and develop better st< in* when they do not have to com pete with a lot of Inferior trees.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29—Secretary Root. In tho best sense of the word, Is an international promoter. He has promoted the cause of peace nnd arbi tration; he has promoted friendly and commercial relations with tho South American ropubllcs—not by letter merely, but by making a tour of that continent in person. And now ho is official promoter of a great Interna tional enterprise, which is philosophic and human. The International Prison Congress nn organization as wide In its scope us tho International Tuberculosis • Con gress, is coming to this country In 1910, and Secretary Root has asked congress for $50,000 to show the Euro pean delegates some of the best things achieved In tho United States In im proved methods of dealing with crime. It’s an interesting history, that of the International Prison Congress. Nearly 40 years ngo tho United States became its legal and natural father. In 1871 the congress of the United* States became a missionary body nnd started out to do a little world-wide good. It passed a resolution authorizing the president to send abroad a commls sloncr to gain the co-operation of Eu ropean governments In holding an In ternational congress for discussion of all matters relating to prevention and treatment of crime, and President Grant appointed the late B. C. Wines, a distinguished American penologist. Hsarty Response In Europe. Dr. Wines was warmly received In Great Britain and tho Continent by government officials, crowned heads, loaders In philanthropy and penology, and learned Jurists. These distinguish, ed leaders of thought and action knew well enough that this war could not be carried on merely with tho old instru ments of repression and drastic Instru ments of tortures. They know that It meant better laws, a reconstruction of criminal codes, better police and o strengthening of every form of nodal defense. It Is useless to stay the flood of crime by dikes at tho mouth of the stream; it must bo filtered at Its source. SHIPPING NEWS ROTTERDAM, Dec. 27.—Arrived: Steamer Sellusia Savannah, via Nor folk.
