AVIATOR HERRING
IS 111 AUGUSTA RAAN
Was Born on Goodrich
Row—A Friend of Mr.
Percy Burum.
A. H. Herring, of New York, who
is to make airship flights with his
own machine for the United State*
government, Is an Augusta man and
was born here on Goodrich Row, just
back of the Planters hotel. His father
was a member of the firm of Cleg
horn & Herring, and when A. M. Her
ring, the inventor, was quite young
the family removed to Europe and
later came back to New York.
Herring is about forty years of age
and a couple of years ago was a vis
itor in Augusta, stopping over with
Mr. Percy Burum and IVm. Law
while he was here. He has a brother,
Dr. Convers Herring, who Is quite a
famous physician In London, and a
sister, who is the wife of Judge Bleck
ley, of Atlanta.
Many Augustans will watch the re
sults from the Herring flights with
peculiar interest on account of the
fact that Mr. Herring is an Augusta
man. Experts declare that his ma
chine is the most compact and there
fore the most feasible one that has yet
been projected by any of the lnventr
ors.

LACK OF FOREST
CMffl FLOOD
An Expert on Forestry is
in the City anti Tells of
the Great Destruction of
Trees.
Mr. John P. Brown, editor ot
Arboriculture, of Connersvtlle, Ind.
is In Augusta and discussing the
general situation In forest work
talks interestingly concerning eonol
tions which made the recent flood
possible In Augusta.
He attributes the deluge to (he
great desiruction of forests and lie
Is or the opinion tint the only so.u
tion to the problem Is in planting
trees.
For this purpose he espouses tho
cause of Catalpa Speciosa, which, hi.
is certain, will grow in all-sections
of Georgia.
It is one of the most valuable and
serviceable trees in the country, be
ing used for cross-ties," telegraph
poles, gate posts and all uf.es to
which hardwood of durable type can
lie used. Se/eral prominent Georgia
farmers and timber men have soiri
rd out growing the catalpa speciosa
and they are sure that ll will p-ovo
a success in every way.
Mr. Brown ca'ls attention to a
great problem facing the average ms
turner of nurseries In the south
where many propagators have math
a mistake in planting southern spe
cies of catalpa for true catalpa ape
closa as the southern tree is with
out. value.
The cost of putting out a small
plat of trees Is very small and wilh
in 20 years the trees will be largo
enough for use for variOM purposes,
Including lumber, cross-ties, pus’s
and other material.
Mr. Brown has interested rail
roads throughout the country In for
es' development and ho expects to
he able to do much similar worts
In this fiction and hla duties are
stilcily those of a forest missionary
so (o apeak.
He will he in Augusta for n tnv
days 'onger and durln ' that. •me
will look over the stip*)ut»d-bu *errl
lory and see Jitsl what ill • •lossl'illt
t’es are In growing tho cu .ilpa.
