Unless Mr.. Watkins OF GiImer, can show
extraordinarily strong reasons why his
bin to permit Of an extern
sion OF the time for burn
ing the woods" should be passed, it ought
never come out of the committee. Woods
are burned over for the purpose of clear
ing away underground in order to facili-
tate the growth of grass for cattle in the
spring. These burnings, naturally. pre-
vent the growth of young forest trees.
The woods that are burned over year after
year, after a time, becomes practically
valueless for anything save pasturage.
The old trees gradually disappear before
the ak, and the storm, and from natural
decay, and there are no young trees to
take their places when they are gone. The
soil, also, is deprived of the elements that
would be given to and stored up by it
from the fallen and decaying leaves and
branches of the trees. The least valuable
lands in Georgia are those that are burn
ed over every winter. So far from ex-
tending the time during which torches
may be legally applied to the woods, it
would seem that the legislature ought to
prohibit the practice altogether, for the
benefit of our forests, if it makes any
change at all

the consolidation for any such purposes.

gational church last Thursday evening.
The subject was Rome" The view :

The lecture, which was very Interestingly
written, was read by A. w. King.
A short musical programme preceded
the lecture. A number of local views,
including pictures of Senator Hale's and
Judge Emery's residences, and ten views
OF statuary, were also shown before the
lecture.
The course OF six lectures, of which t his
was the last, has been very popular. The
price of admisso ion was fixed at figure
just sufficient to cover the expense, the
intention not being to reap financial bene-
fit, but to furnish the people OF the

1t has been pointed out that the repub-
lican party is more than forty years old
That there We're local organizat ions OF
republicans in several states more than
forty years ago was We'll known to those
who first proposed this celebration of the
fortieth brit hday OF the party. But its
birthday as national organization was
at the national convention, held at Pitts
burg, Feb. - and %, 1886, which nomi-
mated John {. Fremont for Pres dent,
and launched the republican party, which
four years later elected Lincoln Presi-
dent, as national organization. That is
the birthday that is going to be cele-
brated
1t is worthy of mention that two OF the
few surviving delegates to that first con-
vention OF the party-Hon. A. NJ. Clapp,
who was delegate from New York, and
Hon. Lewis Clephane, Who was delegate
from the District OF Columbia now
honored members of the Union republi-
can club OF Washington, and will take
part in the celebration of the fortieth
birthday. May they and the party live to
enjoy many more.
