Moe Peaohes La AntloIpated.


Returning to Atlanta a few days
ago after visit to Fort Valley and
Marshallville, Commissioner OF Agri-
culture Hudson said he was gratifed
to be able to announce that a much
larger crop OF peaches will be had
from those sections than was antici-
pated Immediately after the freeze.
Il was informed by several of the
peach growers" Mr.. Hudson said,
that there would be approximately
a 50 per cent crop at both Of those
points. A well known Marshailyille
grower stated at least $50 cars would
be shipped from that point, and with
the smaller tax on the trees, The fruit
will, in all probability be of finer
favor.
Commissioner Hudson further stated
that during his Visi. to southwest
Georgia he found that in many places
cotton seed were selling at so to rs
cents per bushel, and hard to get at
that, while the usual price in the plen-
tiful season is 25 and 80 cents. The
present demand for seed is occasioned
by the large amount OF replanting
made necessary by the April freeze.

 Last Message to Class.
 When this was done Dr. Massey moved to the front of the stage and de- livered his last message to the class which was leaving his care and the familiar scenes of the Alabama Con- Terence College. It was an expression sof his determination to make his last years his best years and his confidence that the faculty of the Alabama Con- ference College was to be maintained at the highest efficiency
 The class which filed out of the building in the black academic gowns over .the soft white commencement dresses was not the last class which will be graduated from the beautiful old building of the Alabama Confer ence College, which dates back to 1855. Another class will be graduated in 1903. and it is probable that still an- other class will be graduated in 1909. But In the meanwhile the great work of building g magnificent college at Montgomery will go steadily forward and the scenes that Tuskegee has known for so many years will be known to Montgomery.

 In the future General Lane will be known as emeritus professor of civil engineering and he will devote his time exclusively to lecturing. An assistant professor of civil engineering has been created and the occupant of this chair will to all active purposes, perform the duties of the head of this department. No one has been selected to fill this chair and 1t will probably take some time to reach decision. General Lane has heretofore held the chair of der the new regime, all drawing work of the school will be under the direc- ton of Professor Curtis, just elected to the new chair of architecture.
 Not under any circumstances. 1t is said would the trustees have retired General Lane had it not been agree able to him He will receive $1,000 an- nually the remainder of his life and the assistant Is to receive a salary of $1,- 200 a year, the two salaries combined being only $200 more than the full sal ary of s2,000 formerly paid General Lane
 General Lane Is "A years old and has been a member of the Auburn faculty longer than any other living member. No student who has ever attended Au- burn could ever forget the figure of General Lane. He is probably better known in Alabama than any other pro- lessor. He is loved by every student and alumnus of the institution.
 General Lane was born in Virginia in 1883. He received his college train ing at the Virginia Military Institute where he studied for four years under StonewalI Jackson. His career as an educator was begun as assistant pro- lessor of mathematics at the V. M l., and he afterwards became professor Of mathematics and commandant at the West Seminary of Florida. when the war between the States was precipl- tated. he was professor of natural phil losophy at the North Carolina Military Institute.
 His career in the war was fearless He entered the service of the Confed- eracy immediately after war was de- cIared and remained in the army until the surrender He was known for his bravery and military skill and many stories are told of his dauntless cour- age, which he displayed in the thfckest of the battles in which he was en- gagged. Lane resumed his teaching, and, arter holding chairs in several different col leges he came to Auburn in 1SS2 as professor of civil engineering and com mandant. He late gave the duties or commandant and devoted his Work al- together to engineering.
 General Lane is in excellent health. He expects never to reside in any other place but Auburn.
