WILL SEND GEORGIA BOY
TO A TRAINING SCHOOL,
Judge Newman Takes Initiative II
Aiding Boy Convicted Of
Theft

That the department of Justice Of
the United States does not desire that
a youth OF sixteen should be sentenc.
ed for term of years and be forced
to associate with hardened criminals
is brought in the recent disposition Of
case against Georgia boy.
Bacel A. McAruthur of Coosa, on
Wednesday, pleaded guilty before
Judge Newman in the United States
court at Rome, to breaking in the
postotIice at his home and to stealing
money therefrom Judge Newman, on
account Of his age, asked the district
attorney, Carter Tate; to take the mat
ter up with the department Of justice.
A reply was received Friday to the
effect that Macarthur should be sent
to the training school at Washing
ton.
Under the law, McAurthur, who is
over sixteen years, could be sent out
to the federal prison, but the depart
ment believes it wiser course to
send him to the training school for
three years.

TIE PEACH CROP.
4,o61 Cars Of Peaches to Be Marketed
in 1910.

4,o61 Cars of Peaches to Be Marketed
in 1910.
Macon, Gas-Georgiafs peach crep,
which will be worth a couple of mil
lion dollars net, or more, to the Geor-
gia fruit grower, is beginning to be
marketed. The first shipment was re-
ceived in Atlanta and the luscious
Georgia fruit sold for SO crate.
Fruit crop failures In neighboring
states will make Georgia supply prac-
tically all of the country during the
next two months.
Growers during the past year have
devoted themselves intensively to the
culture of their orchards, by heavy,
fertilization, spraying, ETC., with the
result that the Georgia peaches prom
Use to be bigger and better than ever.
Estimates of the coming Georgia
fruit crop give the grand total Of
cars Of peaches to be marketed this
year at 4,061. This will mean very
large crop for this state and the
present predictions are that the fruit
to be marketed will be the best ever
shipped from the south. 1t will be
good news not only in this state, but
throughout the country, that the Geor-
gia peach is about to make its debut
in the market again.
JuIiette, Ga.-The peach growers of
this section are busily engaged in ma
king preparations for harvesting this
years crop Of peaches. From the la
test Investigations made of the orch
ards of this vicinity, it now seems
that fine crop of peaches will be
harvested here this year, as fully as
good as last season, when half crop

With Gordon Institute.
PROF. NIL. BRITAIN NAMED

Schools to the Fulton County School
Commissioner.

Atlanta, Ca. Governor Brown has
rendered the position of state school
commission, soon to be made vacant
by the resignation of Commissioner
Jere M. Pound, to Professor NJ. T..

of Fulton county.
While neither the governor nor Pro-
lessor Britain will discuss the mat
ter, it is understood there is no cues
ton that he will accept.
The whole situation, it appears. Is
vet in the informal state. Commission
er Pound has informed the governor.
that he would resign to take effect
July 1, when he goes to Ahe Gordon
Institute, but has not yet written his
resignation.
But upon the strength Of Professor
Pounds statement the governor made
tender of the position to Professor
Britain, and, it lis stated, received the
latter's assurance that he would ac-
cept.
Professor Britain is graduate of
Emory College, and has devoted his
entire life to the work of education in
Georgia. He was recently rendered
the position of president Of Shorter
College, but declined, to continue his
work as superintendent of Fulton
county schools, which he nas held for
several years. He was formerly con-
nected with Atlanta's public schools,
but left them to take up the work in
the county.
The appointment viii hold only un-
til after the regular state election in
October, or until the expiration of Pro-
lessor Pounds two year term.

We print to-day our annual state
ment of the proportion of commune
cants to population. 1t is a melan-
choly table, which may well cause
searchings of heart to clergy and laity
alike. In Hereford diocese, which is
again at the top of the list, barely.
fourteen per cent. of the people COM
municated at thealtars of the church =
in Durham, which is at the bottom,
the proportion was only fraction
over four per cent. Speaking gener-
ally the rural dioceses show the best
results; as the population goes up the
percentage of communicates goes
down. Curiously enough, in London
and Manchester, the two most popu-j
lous dioceses, the proportion is identi-
cal, and it is just under five per. cent.
In Southwark, the next largest, on the
other hand, the percentage is nearly
i've and half But from whatever
standpoints the figures are regarded
they are thoroughly unsatisfactory.
After every allowance is made for
children and for adults of other faiths
it is plain that the supreme proof of
religious reality is given only by an
iT1considerablo minority of the people
of this country. The Guardian.
