His views on the subject were brought forth by a question as to hi* opinion on th* Invasion of England by American actors, actresses and plays. "That I* nothing more than a return of compllmenta." he said. "You have an Invasion here of English actors and actresses now and again and we have the same. But the nationality lines are being eliminated. Nobody now claims Bernhardt is 1t Krsnch actress. Rhe Is as much America's, England's or iter- inanv's. The world is getting that way.

By SELENE ARMSTRONG. (Correspondence from Tlfton, Ua.) No work undertaken by Georgia club • women Is of more profound significance; oris more closely concerned'with the,, social welfare than the attempt to ere- | ate public Interest In the subject uf, forestry. A feature of the splendid 1 program arranged by Mrs. J, K. Oltloy, for Hie sessions of the Oeorgln Federu- i tlon of Women's Club, convening In j Tlfton. Is the address which was made ' Thursday evening by Enos A. Mills, j government expert In the forestry serv. ■. Ire of the United States department of I agriculture. Mr. Mill*, who Journeyed from Colo-; rado to talk before the Federation on "Our Forests and How to Save Them," I la the greatest forestry expert In Amur- | lea. For live years he has been from | time to time employed by the govern- ! nienl to experiment In anil report on 1 forestry, and hns probably done more than any living expert to arouse popu lar Interest In the subject. His lectures have been attended by thuusands at . the Jamestown Exposition, and his na ture book, which will be published | stuns time next year, w ill doubtless be j received with Interest throughout America. Lived in ths Forstte. "Though I am called professor and I doctor, and sometimes even reverend,” explains Just Mr. Mills, "t have neveri received any training In a school of j forestry. For sixteen years l have studied and worked In the open, living i In the forests of the West, ami 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 suld that unless the people of our aeettun awake to the Importance of saving our forests shall In less than twenty years ex perience a forest famine. "I do not, of course, say that trees must not lie cut down; that would he absurd. But unless others are planted In their stead, unless some organised effort Is made to preserve forests In the Houtb, the reault will he fulal to agri culture and Industry In this part of the ountry." Just Practical Facte. 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 Hie sort of knowledge which I am trying so hard lo disseminate. Just practical facts, which will be under stood by and will make their appeal to every man. woman and child. "J. Everyone should know that for- wast^ 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. W. J. Long has oc cupied much apace In magaslnes, and lias been the target for no little clever newepaper fun. Mr. Mills, whose opin ion la- regarded as authoritative, wan asked to express himself In regard to the controversy. Roosevelt Partly Wrong. “I can easily afford to do so.” he replied, "Inasmuch as my position |i almost neutral. I do not conclder j Roosevelt wholly In the right, by any | means. As for Dr. Dong, he IS one of I the iflost fascinating writers I know on 1 natural hlatory, and at the same time | commits certain Inaccuracies which must Inevitably provoke an attack sooner or later." In connection with Mr. Mills’ visit to I south Georgia, the story of a forestry [movement now being organized In' 1 Ware county Is particularly Intareatlng. ; John W. Greer and others, of Way- : croaa, liavo organised the “Country Club of Ware County,” the purpoee of I which le to plunt shade treea on both sides of the public roads and to beau tify tha country homes of that section. Each member of th# club pledges him self to plant 210 trees, and to replant until all gups are filled. Thus will the open road blossom Into beauty and benevolence for the way farer, and the man who Journeys that | way will sing with Walt Whitman.

He was Immediately challenged to a steer-plnwlng match, and what wits begun In fun will end this afternoon In a genuine steer-plowing tournament at the Georgln-t'arollna fair.

New York City, In a statement Issued Friday morning by the railroad commission the rail roads «f the state are warned that un seemly delays on local shipments must rea»e. 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 sa 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 coming Into the commlealon office dally. These relate almost wholly to delays In (lie 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 gins 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 lose does not only fall on the glnnere, but falls heavily upon towns and points where these gins are located, where the glnners are unable to secure bagging and ties. If the farm er can not get hla cotton ginned at one qrtiice he will haul hla seed cotton to other points to have It ginned. You will at once see what hardships and loss we suffer by the careless handling of these articles while In transit.’ "The writer of this letter had a ship, inent of bagging and ties out from Sa vannah to an Interior point in Georgia j which was thirty-two days In transit.
