COURT AND WEATHER
Temporarily Puts Down the Oakland
 Railroad War.

San Francisco. Jan. 11.-Except for the presence of armed guards thers was little suggestion in the vicinity of the Oakland estuary today of the con- troversy between the Southern Pacific and the, Western Pacific railroads. Temporary injunctions issued by United. States Circuit Judge Morrow put an effectual stop to all track lay ing and dredging and had there been any disposition to ignore the order of the court, the weather conditions would have prevented a resumption of opera tious
 A heavy storm ragged with the tide running so high that the waves almost ran over the newly made land in places. The physical aspect of the war is ap- parently ended for the present, all though guards are maintained as a precautionary measure and it is believ- ed that the warning corporations are content to rest on their arms until the courts have settled the dispute.

A PEANUT FIRE.
1t Was Attended By Great Variety of
 Incidents.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 11.-A fire that originated by spontaneous combustion tonight in the four-story brick peanut factory of the Norfolk Storage com- pany on Plume street, between the city jail and the big foundry of White, Hurst & Co.,, partly destroyed that building, damaged the east wing of the jaii and falling walls crushed the foundry like an egg shell. All of the 275 prisoners in the jail were marcn- ed to police barracks under a guard of police, but nine escaped before they had been transferred to rooms in the court house, when the flames endan- gered the barracks. Among these is Solomon Greenstein, held for perjury in the United States court.
 . Mayor Riddict called out four com panies of the seventy-first regiment and they are now guarding the prison- CTS in the court house square.
 For a time the business section of the city was dangerously threatened No fatalities occurred, but several people were injured. The loss, will be over $100,000. Ten thousand bags of peanuts were destroyed with a great amount of valuable machinery

-partment and the flames spread rap idly Within ten minutes after the ex- plosion there was no hope of saving what is known as the old mill. A half hour later strong wind swept the flames into the new tandem mil, shipping sheds and boiler houses.
 The plant is out of the city water district and the hose had to be laid long distances and availed nothing against: the acres of flame. Much of the machinery will not be opelessly de- stroyed and the foundations, hot bed, etc, are uninjured. The joss of the product will be serious, as the plant was running day and night on high : grade work. Four hundred men are thrown out of work.

to provide schools even at great sac
rihce. Succeeding generations have
called them blessed because of this
wisdom.
Southern people in the past have
not fully appreciated the necessity of
universal education They are COM
ing more and more to realize that
rather than that education should be
a mere accessory after the fact" of
prosperity. Just in proportion as this
idea becomes generally prevalent, just
in that degree will the South measure
up to its possibilities.
Ignorance Cannot Retain Wealth.
Let us suppose that vast wane of
money-making and prosperity should

sweep over the cotton-producing
States and that all of our people,
both intelligent and ignorant, should
suddenly become the possessors of
an abundance of filthy lucre Would
it profit them, Not much. The mon
of trained intelligence and skill 1t
is easy to impress upon the ignorant.
How well do some of us remember
that agents have gone over the coun-
stoves for SOS, $40 sewing machines
for SIS, $40 charts for $40, and numer-
Gus other patents, devices and schem-
es, which have been disposed of at
outrageous prices because the agents
know and the purchasers are ignor-
ant
The same condition of affairs ex-
lists in regard to cotton and its sale.
An ignorant man is at great dis
advantage Thousands and thousands
of dollars leave Our farmers every
year and go into the hands of gam
blers, brokers and bucket shops. The
average ignorant man stands about
as much chance with shrewd New
York broker as he did with the old

First, it increases many fold the
possible joy and glory of living.
Second it makes the full perfect
man. One may be a fine specimen
of physical manhood but if his mind
| is only partially trained his true man
hood is to that extent stunted and
| dwarfed.
Third, it greatly increases the pos
sibilties of usefulness to community,
| country and to God The fullest de-
velopment of the individual means
the greatest progress of the race.
Fourth, it multiplies the chances
of success in life This is an age of
sharp competition. 1t is also an age
of educated men. All possible train
| ing is being seized upon to give one
a better chance. The unframed man
will find it increasingly difficult to
make his way. There is no doubt
| about it that the bright, welltrained
! college graduate has several hum
dred times a better chance than the
boy who depends upon little simple
elementary schooling.
| Fifth, it increases the earning ca
pacity and this means increased
wealth not only for the individual,
which would be unworthily selfish,
but for the State and the nation.
Lastly, every strong and healthy
youth of eighteen or twenty has be
fore him some forty or more years
of life which he must live as best he
may. He has the power to make or
mar that life Will he deliberately
turn down his chances and starve
those years through which he must
live, condemning himself to the lot
of the unskilled and unframed? Or
will he by unceasing effort secure
the necessary training and rise to
a worthy place among those whose
labors are a blessing to humanity,

for farmers to get together in order

farmers must organize and control
the price of cotton before they could
