address from MAJOR J Ogden Murray,
OIL the Immortal 600" These were all
prisoners, Confederate officers. who were
placed on Morris Island, South Carolina,
from August 1864, to March 1865. His
talk was on the subject of erecting a
monument to the memory of these men.
Major Murray complimented the camp
on its splendid showing, and exhorted
the officers to be diligent in the discharge
of their duties. In concluding his splen-
did address he paid a tribute to the
memory of those who had answered
taps" and to those who are still lipger-
ing around the Camp fire. Roanoke

States Largest Fruit Orchard.

The Hampshire Orchard company
owns the largest orchard IN the state of
West Virginia. Itowps thirteen hundred
acres of the best fruit land in the state,
the soil being the famous cheat" forma-
ton. noted for its fertility. The orchard
is the largest in West Virginia. having
thirty-eieht thousand peach, and five
thousand apple trees, Some will come
into bearing this year, and the largest
proportion next year. Few realize what
an important industry fruit growing is
rapidly becoming IN the eastern section
of the state, From the South Branch
valley along over million dollars worth
of peaches were shipped last year and
the business is yet in its infancy. A solid
fruit express train is run out of Romney
every evening, delivering the fruit gath
cred "a hours earlier, on the New York
market stalls by breakfast time. A large
proportion of the crop IS exported by the
fast Transatlantic Ocean Greyhounds
to London and Paris 1t is significant that
the West Virginia fruit is rapidly dis
placing the famous English hot house
peach in the world famous Coven Garden
market A peculiar branch of the South
Branch valley section is that, owing to
its elevation. the fruit ripens IN time to
catch bare market after the glut of the
Georgia and other crops is passed. 1t
is also immune from the danger of the
last frosts. Some idea of the size of the
Hampshire Orchard company's property
may be derived from the fact that the
company is now preparing to build a
narrow gauge railroad extending for
seven or eight miles over the orchard.
and is installing a complete system OF
waterworks Hon John J. Cornwell, of
Hampshire, and Hon VIM Campbell, of
this place, are largely Interested in this
enterprise, and are among its governing
body.

Prohibition in Tennessee,

Rev Thos c Jones writes fromVander-
bilt University to our junior as follows:
Wander bilt U University Nashville, Tenn,
January 10, 1909.
Dear Friend Clayton After five hours
of hot debate, and after all tactics known
to parliamentary law had been brought
into play to defeat the bill or to postpone
action, the House of Representatives on
last Wednesday afternoon voted on the
Holiday bill prohibiting the sale of in
tox;cants in the State of Tennessee, and
passed it by substantial majority of
twenty-six votes. The vote was 62 to SO.
1t was scene long to be remembered,
and one ! shall never forget, The oppo-
nents fought gamely to the finish, but
their cause was lost The audience
greeted the final vote with prolonged
cheers, and after the excitement had
somewhat died down, the people in the
galleries commenced singing the long
meter doxology. 1t would make any
congregation feel ashamed OF themselves
the way the peop'e did sing 1t was
song direct from the heart. After the
audience dispersed about FIVE hundred
people gathered on the way to to wn and
marched to the place where Senator Car
mack had been killed, Here they held
an informal service of prayer and thanks
giving. Our old colored cook in Wesley
Hall gave vent to her feelings and shout
ed over the good news until she had
made the kitchen look like cyclone had
struck it, The cook was not the only
one who shouted that night. All over
the State men and women were rejoic-
ing. AS happened to attend w c T
U meeting that night. it seemed to me
more like an old time camp meetleg =
The statewide bill goes into effect July
Ist, 1909. Sincerely yours.
THOMAS c JeNEs.

700 Engines n One OrdSf.

Cleveland, O. Jan I, 1909 The " =
Mullins Co, of Salem. O, manufacturers
of pressed steel boats. has just closed the
largest order on record for engines This
order goes 10 The Ferro Machine &
Foundry Co. of Cleveland, and includes
700 engines to be delivered in the next
90 days Mr. Mullins said IN response to
a question that he was confident OF a
splendid volume of business and would
no doubt duplicate this order before the
first of May. These engines go into boats
of various sizes and show the marvellous
growth of the power boat business.
The advent of the gasoline motor has
wrought the most extraordinary develop
inent in. general boating, not only for
pleasure launches but also for small and
large utility boats. Ten years ago, motor
driven boats were as little thought OF, and
even less. than the flying machine Is
today. Where the sailboat and rowboat
sports were INDUCED in very limitedly
only in localities where the best OF boat
ing facilities were afforded years ago.
today will find every inland lake and
river that is at all Manageable, as well as
the coast waters, floating its quota OF
powerboats of all descriptions. Even
rowboats have been made convertible by
the development of the small gasoline
motor. weighing less than the average
human being Sailing, most exhilara'
ting sport, has largely given way to mo-
tor boating and the percentage of sail
boats being used today without a gasoline
engine IN them for auxiliary power Is
surprisingly small.
[Conklyn Bros are agents for the above
engines. See their adv IN this issue,
