 At this season of the year
 ''when Spring unlocks the flowers To paint the laughing soil'- The trees and shrubbery of all kinds need attention, which cannot be given too carefully in order to preserve the charm and comeliness of these most nee
 essary accessories to the City Beautiful. There are very few trees in and about Birmingham that wouldn't be greatly benefited by the services of one who knows the business as MT. Wright does.
 A broad experience, thorough mastery of his work and an intelligent interest in everything pertaining to the care of trees, equips MT. Wright for the profession of Forestry" In its broadest sense, and if the City Commissioners see fit to create the office of "City Forester" for which MT. Wright Is an applicant, he will no doubt give satisfaction.
 I was talking with MT. Wright recently about the trees in and about Birming- ham, especially those in the densely in-
  I said, among other things: sz ts Birmingham is greatly blessed with a natural growth of as pretty trees as you'd l find anywhere. but unfortunately they are very much neglected. They could be vast l ly improved by having an Expert Tree Doctor to make the rounds and prescribe for them. For instance there have been countless numbers of trees injured in Bir-
 mingham by the laying of sidewalks and pavements, that can be put in good con dition and their lives heightened many years by proper treatment and care. Many have been lost merely through neg lect"

"in that they | must be doctored and nursed and cared for in the most scientific manner' "Its exactly the same principle,' said Mir. Wright. For instance, when a limb | of a tree is amputated, the idea is the same as in amputating the limb of a | person. It should be attended to scientif- cally and not just any old way, just as when either has a cavity that must be | filled, the dentist must do his work cor rectly. Tree surgery, as we call it, is | the science of treating and caring for | trees, and the most important branch of | it Is Pruning
 "The fundamental principles of prun- | ing should be, first, to cut off a branch | as close and parallel with the trunk as possible, for every stub left by a branch cut off at point distant from it's origin is bound to die. decay. and fall out, leav- | ing cavity that must at some time in | the future be filled with cement "The second principle to be remembered l Is that every wound caused by the re-

 How are trees effected by paving and city surroundings? l asked.
 "On paved streets,'' said Mir. Wright trees are frequently deprived of the nourishment and moisture they require, and the forester must know how to sup ply this deficiency and also how to stim- ulate the flow of sap so as to cause the tree to quickly recover from having been partially starved. The work that is most closely connected with Tree Pruning and Cavity Filling is the care of wounds, both from cuts and bruised bark. In all cases the loose bark should be carefully re- moved with knife or chisel and the ex- posed wood immediately covered with a. good antiseptic paint. The best paint is coal tar to which has been added the proper proportion of creosote, bichoride of mercury and formaldehyde. This will penetrate into and preserve the wood and at the same time kill any insect life that it may come in contact with"

 don't know whether that's the technl- cal term for the scientific treatment or trees or not-in fact, I just coined the word for the occasion-but 1t seems to ht very well.
 "Forestersp or "Tree Experts" l be- ieve, refer to the subject as "Dendrolo- gy' or 'Dendrography," but when they come down to earth they merely say they understand 'doctoring trees," which IS much more to the point.

The prosecutor In the case is Jesse
Howell, who this year has been liv'

1t is alleged that there existed a

Howell is young man of excellent
reputation and on the alleged contin-

with him for labor and blacksmithing
came To Columbia and employed r.
s. Hopkins to bring about a sttlement
for him. In the correspondence that
followed between the attorney and
Martin the latter referred to Howell
in uncomplimentary terms, but it was
a letter written, to his son Curtis, who
was at Culleoka that provoked the
suit. The letter is dated at Nash
Vile, Nov. IS, 1912, and written on
DR.. Martins printed letter heads,
showing his connection with the Uni

Dear Son Curtis:

Attorneys for the Present Withdraw
the Proceedings in the Cases sof
Stages and Batts-other Portions
Heard.

The day In circuit court has been
made up principally of hearing petit
lions and closing up the many little
details incident to the closing Of the
court until the February term.
The first thing heard was the argu-
ment for new trial in the case OF
the combination cash store against
C. S. jackson, of Mt. Pleasant. Judge
Turner in deciding this matter stat
ed that the court was not altogether
satisfied with the verdict without
stating in just what particular, and
granted the new trial.
In the cases Of Norman Bats and
Lon Stages, charged with murder in
the first degree, indictments having
been returned by the recent grand
Jury, the defendants were brought to
the courthouse and all the witnesses
were presert&for the argument for
bail
To the surprise of all with the ex-
ception of the attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS, the application was at least
for the present withdrawn. without
the examination of witness or any
argument and they were returned to
Jail where they will probably remain
until the next term of the circuit
court, which will be in February.
Following this action came the ar
gument of the habeas corpus case
growing out of an alleged skipping Of
a board bill at Lawrenceburg.

IS RECOVERING
FROM BAD BURN

w. Porter Erwin will go to Nash
vile this afternoon for the purpose
of bringing his son William home
from the hospital Sunday, should the
weather conditions be sufficiently ia,
vorable.
It will be remembered that the
young man, who win be nine years
old in few days, was seriously burn
led by the explosion of caps for toy
pistol that were in his pocket, at the
Riverside ball park during the pro-
gress of game there on the 15ta Of
May. At the time it was not thought
that the burn was very serious one,
with the exception of the pain that
the boy experienced.
For weeks and then months the
physicians used every means to heal
the burn but it remained stubborn,
and as last resort itsNas suggested
that grating was perhaps the only
method that would reach the much
desired result. Accordingly the boy
was taken to the hospital at Nash
vile and after due time an effort was
made to graft from one of the cild's
limbs to the other, but this was with
out success. Henry Shelton, an I'M
Gle of the little surerer, whose pa
thence has been marvel, then gave
sufficient cuticle to cover the burn,
and after several days of anxiety the
gratifying announcement was made
that adhesion had set up and that
there was a good sound raeso1 to
hope for a rapid recovery.
During all the time since the acci-
dent in May William has been unable
to walk, and is just now getting SO
he can stand on crutches, and it will
be source OF genuine pleasure to
the friends Of the boy and the family
to know that he is at last doing so
well.
