TO PLANT BIG ORCHARD
Highland Company Gets Charter
From Secretary Of State.
STOCK is BEING SUBSCRIBED
Well Known Fruit Growers Says
That the Industry In This County
Will Be Revolutionized

Will Be Revolutionized.
The Highland Orchard Co., COM
posed of well-known men of this
section. has been granted a charter
by Secretary of State Swisher. The
capital stock authorized by the incor-
poration is $50 900, and already a
number of shares have heen disposed
of. Among the stockholders are
former Senator Faulkner, Postmaster
Alex. Clohau, Judge Aston G Day
ton, former Governor White, Cashier
e. e. Wilson, Charles p. Fight, Fish
Commissioner Bowers and Others
A tract of about 500 acres of land
ia Gerrardstown district, on the west
side of the mountain, viii he taken
up by the company, and it is said
about 900 trees will be planted this
fall. The company will elect officers
in few days, and Senator Faulkner
is slated for the presidency.
This organization is in line with
the fruit development that has been
going on in this section for the past
few years, aud the company will
eventually prove to be one OF the larg
est IN the valley. Well-known
orchardists have been planning an
extension of business for sometime,
and many OF them have put their plans
into execution, while many new men
have taken up the cultivation of fruit
as an investment. The returns are
said to be greater than afforded by the
ordinary method of arming, aud
many farmers who have been cultivat-
ing APPLES aud peaches in a small way
will give greater attention to their
orchards from now on.
Speaking OF the DEVELOPMENT in
Berkeley county, one prominent
orchardist remarked that in his
opinion the farmers would either go
out OF the fruit business altogether. or
the orhardists abandon the farming
end OF the business, this condition
being brought about by reason of the
ldcts tnht tuo upsultVi1 hotliuW Vi
cultivation would not be profitable
when the Young orchards came into
fruitinn.
According to this orehardist, the
cultivation of apples would become
regular business, apart from farming,
aud only those men who we're more
or less expert. and who are willing to-
devote all their time and energies to
fruit culture, would be able to hold
their own against the fierce competi-
ton that IS sure to come with the
wider development of the industry in
Berkeley county. Following this
idea. he stated that the coming meet
ing of the State horticultural society,
which convens here on Wednesday,
numbers of farmers aud orchardists,
who are determined to learn all thew
can about business that is bound to
prove the best revenue producer in
tlhe coHnty, and who are awake to the
revolution now impending IN the fruit
business. Those farmefs whose land
is best adaptaa to fruit cultivation
viii give almost all taeir attention to
this end OF the bnsness, while thoss
whose land tas produced aBlY moder-
ately, aud is not tile best for the pgr

supUorted nv the board III il became
necessary TO either suspend or eypel
certain youngsmen. He stated thai
there was no particularly grave eases
to report. but that there seemed to be
an impression among parents and
pupils that neither suspension nor ex-
pnlsion wonld be resorted 10 except in
the eyent OF an aggravated case. or
some particularly offensive breach OF
discipline
Speaking for the board, President
Russler was emphatic in saying that
order must be maintained hy the
teachers, and that the board looked TO
the teachers for performance OF their
full dntv In this respect. He said
that the board would certainly support
the teachers IN enforcing discipline.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Automobillng
is one Of the best cures for bodily in.
firmities due to poor operation OF tho
digestive organs, according to Or. G.
w. McCaskey of Fort Wayne. Ind,
who addressed the American Academy
Of Medicine at a meeting here His
subject was The Physiology Of Recre-
alton and he took a position said by
members of the society TO be pro-
gressiye if not revolutionary "Mental
depression can destroy entirely the ef-
feet of food and cause digestive dis0r-
ders Of the gravest nature" Or. Nc
Caskey said. Recreation has most
beneficial effect, and the desire TO go TO
a restaurant after witnessing a pleas
ing performance at some theater is due
mainly TO the effects OF having ones
mind relieved and thus influencing the
How OF digestive fluids.
For recreative effect most persons
need some sort of diversion which con-
tains fast motion, and this explains the
popularity of automobiling, the benefi.
cial effects Of which know by expert
