About Peanuts.

''F.w people who buy lag Of pea
nuts IN the street for five cents realize
the extent If the peanut industry"
said a. +. Bryan Of Norfolk. VA. 1T
is 4 fact that the total sales Of peanuts
amuGnt annually to between $>,nn0. 900
ana SI0G0o,ouo. ana some statesmen scIl
wv hirh AZ 1.r0n.0 oo bushels each year.
The seeds of the peanut are planted
like beans. ana when the vines nave
come IN ANA TIE nuts are ready for
harvesting the farmer takes Il cultiva-
tOr especially made for that purpose
and stars down the long rows. ON
either side of this Cultivator are two
long knives which sink into the ground
sufficiently to cut the tap root If the
vine. The same process is gone through
with on the other side Of the vine
The main root being thus severed and
the ground loosened. the vines are
lifted into shocks like corn. They are
cured ~ allowing them to stand in the
sln for about 10 days, when colored
women and children are sent into the
field to pick the nuts from the vines.
An average picker will pick about five
bushels Il day. for which he is paid at
the rate Of 10 cents a bushel
1T is not known how peanuts first
came to this country. Both Africa and
Asia claim the distinction Of being the
hCme Of this vegetable. IT.; first record
in the United States dates back to 1850
In 1851 the crop amounted to about
50.G00 bushels, but it was the circus
that really made the peanut q valuable
article Of commerce. At the present
time the crop amounts TO about ll.00O.-
Coo bushels annually. Virginia and
North Carolina still maintain their lead
but Tennessee now raises about sea 600
bushels. though of an inferior quality.
OF the ordinary variety about % pounds

 In we'll chosen phrases Professor Brock introduced the next speaker Hon. Harry c. Gunnels.
 MT .Gunnels was forced by the conoi- ton of his throat to make hts speech hrfef; butt it contained thought, anu was thought breeding. He alluded 10 the deep significance of this great building reared bv the people of tLiv- ingston, primarily as home Tor the Alabama Normal College which had oyerfiowed the limits set to 1t by small CT buildings.
 For a moment he turned aside to ap- pIaud the good work done by this Tn, stttution of learning in the past, ana predicted for 1t still more glorious future. MT. Gunnels recognized and stressed the majestic position and wide scope or the Normal School, its far-reachtng ln- fiuence and It's paramount importance. He decried the cheap teacher ana the Uncomfortable log cabin school house;
 By a happy illustration he showed that the ..diamond-studded crown should be placed upon the head of that teacher, however modest .. ehscnre. who leads his pupils to the heights gained only by the great.

 stock: how training was justified In the animal Kingdom by higher values and better service resulting from well bred cattle-the horses and dogs be- ing instanced, thus leading by strong parallel to the needs and multiplied values of education for the boys and

 He stressed the fact that while our
 material wealth Is vast and natural re- sources all unsurpassed, these must dwindle into insignificance beside the wealth of intellect that Is the portion of the gifted sons and daughters ot the South by nature and by heredity.

 The speech was replete throughout with wit, wisdom, anecdote, which re- vealed the variety of his talents and his ability to hold his audience Tn fas- cinated attention to the message he de- uvered.
 MT. Rogers's address was short. but scholarly and abounding in enthusiasm, along the line of the general education al awakening.
 He spoke of the evils of demagog- ism and political corruption: of the need of impressing on young people that character and lofty principles, as inc outcome of educational advantages. are worth more t0 the world than the mere ability to make money that serV- fee counts more than wealth and ina. ternperance, tolerance. courage ano honesty. must win life's abattle.

Austrian Government Tells NasAves "A Alleged Peonage Tn South.
 New Orleans, La, Nov, s.-Niehha disnatches that the Austrian govern nert has warned its people against emigrating to the South. where peoh- age is alleged to exist, have caused the Louisiana State Board of lmmigratlon to take immediate action in New or- leans to protect immigrants
 Secretary Knoepfler, of the poaro, announced today that he will ask the city council to pass regulations stop ping abuses which have sprung up within the past few months, during which New Orleans has become con siderable gateway for immgiration.
 MT. Knoepfler claims that tricky foreieners and not Southern planters are largely the cause for such warn ings as that of the Austrian govern ment. These foreigners, he claims, get hold of the immigrants when they land in New Orleans, swindle them out or much money for board, and poison their minds against immigration off cials. Then they make them believe fabulous tales of plantations opportn- mites, which result in bitter disappoint- ment to the immigrant upon learning exactly what plantation work is.
