Tyler Again Chosen Head.

Roanoke. Va, July 1.-The attend
ance today at the Virginia state Farm
ers' Institute, which is in session here,
is double that of last year, and the
greatest interest is manifested by the
farmers in the work of the organiza-
ton.
The principal event of the morning
session was an address by J. M. Bark
er. member of the state board of agri-
culture from the Fifth district, on
"Growing and Handling Tobacco in
Its Various Stages"
The Improvement of the Soil and the
Maintenance of Fertility" was dis
cussed by Professor W. F. Massey, Of
Philadelphia.
Instances were named where land
had bsen abandoned as worthless fol-
agricultural purposes had, by graceful
management, been made to yield pro
fitable crops. This was done without
the use of fertilizers of any kind. but
simply by resting the land and allow
ing it to recuperate.
The election of officers for the en-
suing year concluded the morning ses'
sion.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: J. Hoge Tyler
president; Andrew M. Soule, secretary
and treasurer, and J. M. Williams, as
| sistant secretary.

THE CHILD THEY CALL MAXINE.
BY GREAT GRANDPA.

An old man, who is a stranger to the
muses.; who has never visited Mt. Parnas-
sus, nor slipped of the inspiring Castalian
Fount, pays the following inadequate tri-
butte to the beauty of his plump infant
gleat-grand- daughter, yclept Maxine.
The regal rose, in its proud beauty blown,
Is among the beautiful things my fancy
has known;
But the most beautiful thing l ever have
seen.
Is the angelic child they call Maxine.
The modest eyed violet, appearing in
Spring,
Is esteemed by all most beautiful thing;
But the most beautiful thing ever have
seen,
Is the angelic child they call Maxine.
When the evening star doth the sky glorify.
Most charming it is to the esthetic eve:
But the most beautiful thing ever have
seen,
Is the angelic child they call Maxine.
When the moons silver barge sails the
ether on high,
1t entrances the gaze and pleases the eve;
But the most beautiful thing ever have
seen,
Is the angelic child they call Maxine.

District High Schools.

The committee appointed by the
county school board to designate the
most suitable points in the county for
high schools. met Saturday in the office
of the county superintendent for that
purpose. There were present Super.
intendent Peale and the following trus.
tees: Messrs. Samuel G. Brown, J. D,
Lilley, John W. Todd, W. F. Koiner
and N. L. Shreckhise.
When this committee was first ap-
pointed it was feared that only one, or
possibly two, high schools would he
allotted to the county. But on Satur-
day Superintendent Peale and Mr..
Todd, who had been to Richmond to
urge the claims of the county upon the
governor and state superintendent, re-
ported that they had the promise of
these officials that there would be as
many such schools allowed to Augusta
as to any county in the state. Upon
their recomm endation it was decided
to ask for six, and the following places
were agreed upon:
Beverly Manor district, Academy.
Middle River district, Weyer's Cave.
South River district. Stuart's Draft.
Rlverheads district, Greenville.
Pastures district, Craigsville and
Deerield.
The committee would have been glad
to name one school in North River dis
trict, but the trustees for the district
did not think there was point in the
district where all the requirements of
the law could be met in time for the
coming session. Provision will be
made, the committee thought, for
high school in the district before the
next term, perhaps two.
The patrons at Weyer's Cave. and at
Craigsville, have raised by private SUBJ
scription the amount the districts must
pay, two hundred and fifty dollars in
each case.

The 2.Cent Rate Case.

The argument of the case of Com
VS.. the B. & o. Ry. over
the Churchman law was heard in the
corporation court Tuesday. The road
pleaded not guilty, and asked that
Hon. John W. Churchman, the COM
planning witness, be made party,
which was done, and that he be required
to give security for costs, which was
refused by the court, whereupon ex-
ceptlOn was taken. Col. Bumgardner
then moved continuance until the
case In Richmond before the corpora
ton commission can be heard, but the
court refused, and exception was again
taken.
The road then interposed demur-
rer, which was argued at length by
counsel and submitted. The demurrer
relies on the ncOnstitutionalityo of the
act. The road was allowed time to file
brief in the case.
The demurrer was argued by Capt
Carter Braxton for the COmmOnw ealth
and Col. Rudolph Bumgardner for the
road.

ENGLAND HAS HER TROUBLES.
Factories as Dirty as Those Of Chicago
children Bathed in Tub Where
Preserve lars are Washed.

The Britishers who have been so
virtuous recently over the Chicago
meat packing revelations, were Monday
confronted with the annual report of
the inspector of factories and work
shops, which shows that the conditions
here are quite as revolving as anything
alleged of the Western packing center.
Dirty factories and disgusting meth
DDS seem to be the rule, instead of the
exception, Jam factories. bakeries
and sausage makers are all considered
as being equally filthy and the descrip-
ton of one fits most of the others.
Here is the report on a typical jam
factory.
1.-The boiling-room lay between the
yard and the stable and the horses
reacLsa the latter through the boiling
room. The sanitary accommodation
was hardly separated from the rooms
where the fresh fruit and uncovered
jam were kept, and the floors were
dirty and undrained.
Another factory inspector found
jam pots being washed in liquid like
dark soup, (which smelled abomina-
bly," The manager informed the in
spector that the water was changed
''about once a week."
When fished out of these evil smell
ing tanks the pots were allowed to
stand until dry, when they were con-
sidered to be ready to receive fresh in
stalments of preserves.
Inspectors of bakeries found that it
was a frequent custom to battle the
children in them after the close of work
On Saturdays, and the families weekly
collection Of dirty clothing was sorted
in the bakeries for dispatch to the
laundry. The sausage factories, says
the report, are mostly owned by Ger
mans, and are small, dilapidated, badly
lit and are often infested by rats.
