NO OFFICIAL RAIN SUNDAY;
STATION WAS NOT WET

Officially the city of Atlanta had no rain
Sunday, notwithstanding the fact that
nearly every section of the city had good
showers in the afternoon. 1t just hap
pened the showers cut out the center Of
the city, where the weather bureau was
located, and the business section didn't
get enough rain to wet the streets. So
the weather mans gauge only showed a
trace of rain-not enough to record. 1t
rained particularly hard in Copenhill, De-
catur and East Lake.
On account of the cloudy condition Sun
day, the temperature was kept down, and
the highest was 81. The night was UNI
usually pleasant. These conditions will
continue for several days all over the cot
ton belt. And while the south has moder-
ate temperatures the north Atlantic coast
is still sweltering. Some of the high tenn
peratures Sunday were at Chicago, Boston
and ST. Louis, where "a was reached.
Monday Atlanta was Y at z o'clock in
the morning, while Boston was IS. New
York was so at the same time.
More showers are expected Monday and
Tuesday.

CANTAL0UPE GROWERS
REPORT POOR PRICES

VALDOSTA, Ca, July 1O-The canta-
loupe season is just about over in this
section. The shipments have been very
large, but the prices at the time that
they should have been the best were
very far from satisfactory, due to the
very large shipments from California
about the same time. The quality of
the cantaloupes shipped from this sec
ton this year is said TO have been ex-
ceptionally high and the growers ex-
pected the season to be very good, espe-
cially since the peach crop was almost
failure
Many of the catalogue growers have
declared that their profits for the year
will be hardly enough to pay for the
fertilizer and the crates, together with
the expenses of gathering and shipping.
The watermelon growers have Jared
about the same way. The shipments of
melons through this city has been very
large. as the new road has opened much
territory that was planted in melons this
year. The prices have ranged from $50
to 500 car, though not many melons
have sold for more than $50 or $50. The
congestion of melons at Jersey City
about the Fourth of July caused a
heavy loss to the shippers in this sec
ton.

HIGH SCHOOL INVALUABLE
TO THE YOUTH OF AMERICA
Remarkable Report on High
Schools Submitted to Ma
tionaI Association

SAN FRANCISCO. July n.-Declaring
that the high school today Is the arena
In which the greatest educational prob
lens should be worked out the depart
ment of high schools today presented its
report to the National Education asso-
citation.
The report was in line with the re-
quest made last year by the department
on high schools that the colleges re-
wise their entrance requirements in such
a way that the high schools might meet
modern needs
formulated by a committee of nine
educators. the report cites the criticism
OF the Carnegie foundation that Ameri-
can education, from elementary school
TO college Is suffering from the attempt
TO teach too many subjects TO the same
student at the same time
Considering some OF the special func-
tons OF the high school, the report says:
The high school must instruct every
student in the elements OF good citizen
ship. This duty cannot be delegated to
the college because there is no guaran-
tee that any particular student will ac-
tually go 20 college.
High school courses must be flexible,
for the high school period is the time
for the youth to discover his bent.
Broad vocational instruction should
ind place in the high school to prepare
for efficiency.
Mechanics. arts. agriculture or. house
hold science should be recognized as ra-
tionaI elements in the education of all
boys and girls. and especially OF those
who have not as yet chosen. their voca-
tons. High school attendance in this
country has Increased almost fourfold
within the last % years. II the colleges
viii recognize the true function of the
high school. this marvellous growth will
continue undated. and the American
high school viii become an institution
unparalleled as a factor for democratic
living. Il is doubted whether any ma
lion ever before possessed such an op-
portunity.'

coffin had been made some time before
the old soldier died. and it was found TO
be just as Mr. shannon had described
1t. 1t was to have no nails. 1t was,
therefore, dovetailed and the lid was
put on with pegs. Parts of the coffin
were brought to Marietta by Mr.. Hames,
together with the headstone. The grave
gave up nothing but the dust and a few
bones.
When John Hames first moved to Muir
ray county the Indians were all through
that section and deer and turkeys could
ne killed from his yard, while the
streams abounded in fish.
The exercises will take place at 1880
a. M, Tuesday. Rev. Mr.. Doame. of St.
James Episcopal church of Marietta will
conduct the commitment services. and
the body will rest under the folds of
the flag of the United States

THIS GREEDY NEGRO
ROBBED THE SQUIRRELS

WASHINGTON, July TO- The squir-
rels that make their home in the capitol
grounds have not been getting their full
rations lately. This was because a
greedy human being was stealing part
of their food.
The government furnishes daily seven
pounds of filberts and peanuts for the
bushy-tailed pets. Early each morning
an employee distributes the food at va
rious points in the grounds. A negro
employed as a mental about the capitol

with nuts taken from the receptacles in
which they had been placed for the squir-
rels. For weeks he had been robbing
them. He was promptly discharged.
