LARGER TREES FOR PLANTING.

Suggestion for the Better Improves
ment of Savannnh's Forestry.
Editor Morning News: About the trees
of the city and the substitution of those
which are dead, we would offer the sug-
gestion that trees Of much larger growth
than the saplings usually chosen can be
removed and transplanted. and that too,
without so severe cutting back as to rem
der them mere bare poles, by expending
a little more time. labor and care which
results will well repay. The method is as
follows: Now or at any time during the
winter or fall of the sap, let the trees for
transplanting be chosen and with any sharp
instrument cut through the lateral roots
al some distance from the trunk, say two
two and a half or three feet. These
pruned roots will during the growing sea-
son throw out numerous feeders, so that
by the next transplanting season by care
ful excavation and preservation of these
rootiets the tree can be more safely trans
ferred to new quarters and without so
great shock and risk of health and con-
tinued growth as the heroic plan USUALLY
ADOPTED. Some cutting back of limbs and
branches Is, OF course, necessary and re-
quires judgment. The writer mas success
fully removed trees according TO above
method and experienced the ADVANTAGES
In the case of peach trees we have re-
moved Wen matured trees and TRANSPLANT
ed them seven miles in the fall ana had
them to bloom and even bear fruit the fol

thrifty in their growth, following the same

GEORGIA PINE LANDS.
BETTER for Sugar Cane Than the
Lands of louisiana

Lands of Louisiana.
Editor Morning News Your editorial in
yesterdays issue, entitled, what About
the Pine Lands" is one that much can be
written on. You have stated it correctly
when you say that our lands are suited to
the culture of everything one needs for
home comforts and offers every opportun-
ity for making money at farming that
any other section of the United States
does. We have sufficient land in Emngham
county If planted in sugar cane to sup
ply the requirements of a 200O-ton capacity
central sugar house, and over four-ffths
of the entire acreage of the county VIII
yield thirty tens of cane to the acre from
which, with improved machinery, nearly
5000 pounds Of finest sugar can be made,
besides the molasses product. l have Just
returned from trip to New Orleans, La
with Capt ID. G.. Purse and several other
gentlemen, and after careful investigation
find that we have every advantage that
louisiana planters have, and some they
have not.
With the same amount of fertilizer they
use we can get aS heavy tonnage psr acre
as they can, and more sugar from same
amount of tonrR ge than they can. We do
not have TO seed our land more than half
as heavily as they do TO get a perfect
stand. We do not have to purchase enor-
nous pumping outfits to pump water out
of our fields as they do. We have no levecs
to break and spread disaster and ruin
upon us, but we have the fairest and most
responsive land to the man of energy and
brain that is anywhere to be found
An we need is more popufation, farmers
who are accustomed TO the latest improv-
ed machinery; farmers wives that know
how TO make choice creamery butter and
cheese, and little encouragement from
the railroads, and l am sure we win get
that from the present management of the
Central railroad. Keep this subject before
the pubic, and we viii not have the pine
barren problem to solve. 1t will adjust IT.
self so quickly that we will in a few
years wonder why we did not wake UP
sooner 10 the great need of our section
and to her possibilities
Yours to commend in the work of build
ing up the best section of Georgia.

AN GOLD VETS" TALK.
what He Has to Say About Savannah
and the Reunion.

ana the HcunlOn.
Ruth, Greene County Georgia. Dec. o.
Let me say few woEds about the recent
reunion OF Georgia Division, United Con-
federate Veterans, held at Savannah, and
what an old vet. thinks of the city and
its people: AS TO the city, it Is simply
grand with its broad and well paved
streets, beautiful parks, nice residences
and magnificent public buildings. 1 do
hereby declare in my judgment Savannah
to be the prettest city in Georgia. l am
aware OF the fact that some one from
other fair cities of the state are going to
rise up and critieise me for my opinion. If
they do so l will put them on notice that
they had better not leave 1t to vote OF
the old vets. who met in Savannah. If
they do their case is lost. As to Savan-
nah's fire company, l doubt IL that of any
other city of its size in the South can
excel it, Such beautiful engines and
other equippage going to make a first
class fire outfit, together with the incest lot
of horses I ever saw! The managers of
the Central of Georgia come in for a
large shore of praise from the old vets.
for their kindness In various ways to them
while in the city, and their chief officer
who was danguishing on a bed of aftlic-
ton at the time of our meeting has the
God may so rule that he may be speedily
restored to health again. The Morning
News carried out its contract to a let
ter. In addition to furnishing each vet
with guide book with printed pro-
grammes for each day. its force was work
ing everywhere in the city day and night,
to make the reunion a success. Estill
and his co-workers are hustlers. As to
the people of Savannah, just allow me to
tip my hat and say that nicer lot of
people I have yet to meet.
1t was my good fortune to fan into the
hands of one of Georgia's adopted sons,
and now a citizen of Savannah, who has
a large body. and, Il is well he has,
for the soul he has could not be circum-
scribed in a small space. He was in the
thickcsi OF the fight during the Civil War
In Virginia and the West: his war rec
ord is simply fine, but as he could not
capture all the Yankees and dissolve the
Union, he retreated back through South
Carolina, and there formed a union with
one of her fairest daughters. Five bright
stars now radiate around said union, a
union l am sure will take death to dis
solve. With my best wishes for the flu
ture happiness and prosperity of Mai. and
Mrs. Ryals and family, l am respectfully.

1.-THE Pasteur Institute at Lille has been

world for the past two years, and thus
far reports have been received showing
favorable results in cases that have teen
bitten by six varieties of venomous
snakes. A boy working in the laboratory
at Lille opened a box which contained a
newly arrived lot of snakes and was
promptly bitten on the forefinger. Almost
Immediately the hand and forearm became
swollen. An hour later there was insen-
sibility Of forearm and hand great pain
in the upper arm, neck and under the arm,
ard sick stomach. A dose Of the serum
was injected, and from that time the
symptoms began to subside. By the next
day the sensibllity in the hand had return

practically well. A woman who happened
TO be bitten by the same Tot Of snakes died
in two hours, untreated."
Thus far no reports have been made Of
the use of this serum In this country
