MAMMOTH PEACHES.
TWigg's High Mountain Orchard Pro
duees Some Of the Largest
Fruit on Record.

From the Keyser Echo
The Knobley Mountain section Of
Mineral county, which in the past
few years has been much developed
in the nursery bushes, is this year
leading the United States in peaches.
Last week S. l.. Twigg, owner of
the "iigh Knobley Orchard" left at
the Echo Office a basket Of "Alber.
ia" peaches, sixteen in all, that
weighed twelve pounds. One Of
the largest measured exactly twelve
inches IN circumference. The whole
sixteen we're Of even size, quite an
average, and these arc no larger
than others that Mr.. Twipg has
marketed here in small lots.
The High Knobley Orchard"
covers about eighty acres Of land
on the top and eastern slope Of the
Knobcy Mountain, about three
miles east Of Keyser In this or
chard arc 10000 peach trees Of
bearing age, with others younger,
and a small number Of pear, apple
and plum trees. Last year 5000
bushels Of peaches we're shipped
from this orchard. This season the
crop is only about one.thrd an
average.
The fruit from ;his orchard is
marketed mainly through commits.
sion men in the eastern cities, and
commands a fancy price.
Mr.. Twige commenced planting
this orchard about ten years ago,
and has gwen il his undivided at
tenton since, and has made for
himself record as fruit grover,
and has a substantial annual income.

lette and Ex-Governor Van SAINT of
Minnesota will be among the speak
ers and they are expected to be
heard on that occasion. The man
ayers of the convention fear that
the gathering will be comparatively
small as the railroads have been
working hard to influence public
sentiment and make the meeting Of
as little moment as possible. II rs
assumed in advance that the con
vention will adopt an anti pass re-
solution and il is expected as a
matter Of consistency that all the
delegates will pay their fare to Chi
cago. 1t is probably that h c
railroads will see that all the people
who arc for an anti pass resolution
Will do this at any rate. The rail
roads are not any more prolific in
the production of passes than they
have to be. But they like to have
the privilege Of doing so when it
suits business conditions.
The Attorney General is reiicent
in the case of the beef trust prose
cutions. II has been decided that
these prosecutions will have TO go
over I'LL September 18th and what
the result will be then, is unknown.
1t is possible that the mem bers OF
the trust will call for seperate trials
so as TO spread out the case as long
as possible. AS the indictments is
for conspiracy 1t is not seen how the
defendants can very we'll make this
application good. On the other
hand the defendants are thinking of
enjoining the government and pre-
venting the trials at all. The At
torneY General says however that he
has case that he can put through.

COMPULSORY LAW.
Text OF statute Governing the Enforced
Attendance OF Pupils.

The State law compelling the at
tendance of all children of school
age should be brought to the atten.
tion of every family by the board Of
education of every district in the
county. We publish below the sal
lent features of the law:
"Section 81. Every person hav.
ing charge of child between the
ages of seven and fourteen shall
cause the child to attend public
school continuously; failure being
punishable by two dollars fine for
the first offence; five dollars for sub
sequent offences. An offence, it is
understood, shall consist Of fail.
ure Of such person to compel the
attendance Of the child in his care
for one fourth of the number of
days on which school shall be held; f;
in other words the child must be in
school three-fourths Of the time un-
less i'll or prevented by other reas-
enable excuse. All fines so col
lected shall be paid into the hands
of the clerk of the board of educa.
tion who shall turn them over to
the city collector for credit to the
school fund Of the district"
The act provides also how the
truant officer shall perform his
duties and specifies in what way he
is to carry out the provisions of the
new Law. In this connection it may
b; we'll to quote the paragraph re-
ferring to offences
IAN offence, as understood by
this act, shall consist of the failure
Of such person to send to school
ony such child or children for one.
fourth The number Of days on which
regular sessions Of the public schools
are held ~ any school district, so
that such child or children shall not
be in attendance for at least three
fourIhs Of said days in any four
consecutive weeks OF the school
year Of such district, unless the at.
tendance Of such child or children
be prevented by sickness or other
reasonable excuse; provided, that il
such child or children shall have
I graduated from a sub-district school
or II such child or children have
been otherwise instructed for a like
period Of time in the branches OF
learning required by law to bc
taught in public schools, or have
already acquired such branches. OF
if, in the opinion Of the superintend
ent of said school district, the mept
al or physical condition Of such

such attendance inexpedient or I'm
practicable, such penalty shall moi
be incurred"

FlNGERBOARDS.

AAhkSi ih9alus arc an Olu uSNlCe,
but at the same time they are a
much neglected device in many
counties of many States. The fol-
lowing from the Morgantown Chron.
icle on this matter will be appreciate
ed by many persons who have been
suddenly called out in a strange
country AMI who met a dilemma
when he reached the forks OF the
road, without sign or guide post to
tell which one to take TO reach his
designation; while the traveller has
ever blessed the county authorities
when he found the fngerboard OF
the parting Of the ways TO guide
him Alright:
ga man who recently travelled by
country roads through Randolph,
Pendleton, Tucker and Preston
counties, remarks that he did not
see a single hngeTboard at the forks
of the numerous roads, until he en-
tered Preston county, after Jour
ney of more than one hundred miles
over all kinds of roads, from pixies
to paths. The story of Harry and
the guidepost will soon lose its
meaning, unless the gudepost comes
back into use.
County Courts fail to under
stand how essential the fingerboard
at the forks of the road is. The
person who lives in the community
does not feel the need of guideposts.
He knows all the roads. But the
traveller does not know them. When
he comes to the forks of the road,
he must guess which fork is right.
He guesses wrong halfthe time, and
he must lose his way and lose time
as consequence.
"It is one of the duties Of every
County Court to place fngerboards
at every road. These boards should
not only tell where the road leads,
but should also give the distance.
The expense is comparatively small
and the convenience is great. 1t
was formerly customary along roads
with large travel to place mile-posts
to tell the distance. That was more
of luxury than necessity; but the
fngerboard is a necessity. 1t is the
more SO in view Of the somewhat
strange fact that few persons can
direct traveller how to find his
road He is usually told TO "keep
the straight road" although no road
is straight very far in this State; or
to rake the plain road" while both
forks of the road are equally plain.
Or the traveller is told lot of irrel-
evant stuff about people who live
by the road, or fields or gates, or
bridges, while the one essential
thing needed-which road is for
him the right one--is forgotten.
"The ingerboard never speaks a
word unnecessarily. II points the
road, and the traveller understands
It and makes no mistake. Just how
many counties Of West Virginia are
in the class with Randolph, Pendle.
ton and Tucker cannot be stated.
1t is to be hoped that the most OF
them have provided fngerboards
for travel. Preston county seems
not to have neglected that duty"
