Atlanta, Ga. July c5.--With the
movement OF peaches from the South

is now running from five to seven
special peach treins out OF Atlanta

ment for any one day was. that OF
the night 1 July 81 when l61 cars
Of peaches were moved, and 1t was
necessary to run six special peach
trains from Atlanta to- the East and
one to the West.
On account Of the highly perisha-
BILE nature of the peaches 1t is neces-
sary to get them to market with great
rapidity and the fast service which
Southern railway affords has been
one OF the vital factors in making
possible the development of the peach
industry In Georgia to its present pro-
portions Special icing facilities have
been provided at Atlanta, Spencer. N.
c.. and Potomac Yards, Va, and
schedules arranged by which the
peach trains are, handled from At

Blacksburg. Va. July 25.--Presi-
dent Egglesron, of the Virginia Poly

an arrangement with the United
States department OF agriculture by
which Virginia is to have the entire
time OF specialist in hog cholera
work Clark II. Hayes, of the federal

work in Isle Of Wight county and Will
have permanent headquarters at
Burkeville, his services TO be at the
disposal of the farmers OF the State,
TO he under the objection OF the col
lege and in connection with the
demonstration work IN Virginia.
The specific duties OF Mr., Hayes
will be to inspect herds. look up any
suspected cases Of cholera, teach the
farmers how to detect and prevent
the disease; the ultimate aim being
to eliminate this dread scourge en-
sirelv and to do so educate the farm
ers that they viii know. not only how
TO detect the diseases In its early
stages, but how TO treat the first
symptoms Virginia is the seventh
State in the Union to secure the ser
vices Of such a man. and this Is IN
line with the policy OF the college
here, NOT only to foster the hog In
dusiry. but TO shut off all possible
losses by educating the farmers In
advance.

STEARNES SPEAKS
!. At SUMMER SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCA-
TON IN STATE WORKS
AGAINST UI1TTERACY.

Charlottesville, Va. July 2s-Han.
r. c. Stearnes, superintendent of the
department OF public instruction of
Virginia. was the principal speaker at
FRIDAYS asse mbiy. Mr.. Stearns was
introduced by Director MaphiS Mr..
Stearras said he wished to have a
Heart TO heart talk with them all
as fellow educators. He said that
he often asked himself II he were Nv
ing w 10 the opportunities that are
his. and whether the department of
public instruction is sdo'nS the work
that 1t should. $500
During his talk Er., Stearnes told a
good story which he heard at the
meeting of the N E. A. A certain
man, said he, had during his life been
vevy inatsentive TO his wife. As she
was woman who did not, like TO
be disregarded. she was rather re-
heved when he died until she found
out that his life had been insured In
her favor for quite sum. Then she
felt that he must have loved her. and
in compassion, she had a tombstone
put over his grave with this inscrip-
ton: Rest in peace" But later she
found out that. since he had failed
TO make the last payment on his In
surance. she would no. get cent In
anger she went to the stonecutter and
asked him to carve out the inscrip-
ton, When ne Told Der this was i'm
possible. she had the inscription
changed TO Rest in peace until we
meet again."
Mr. Stearns said that he often won-
dered IL the teachers of Virginia had
this same change of feeling in regard
to him. He said that when he was
a county superintendent and correct
ed teachers examination papers, he
resolved to throw the teacher IL posi-
BILE. But then he thought that. If the
teacher went In protest to the State
superintendent, he wished the State
superintendent to be able to say that
everything possible had been done for
the teacher. So ne brought about
a nice balance.
Mr.. Stearns said that OF all the
summer schools in the country he
thought that the school at the uni
versity was the best, $500 teachers
are attending summer schools In the
state and one county In the western
part of Virginia thinks SO highly OF
summer schools that its school board
pays the lodging expenses Of its teach
ers who attend summer school.
In closing his talk. Superintendent
Stearnes> made a vigoruis appeal to
the teachers to remove the curse OF
sliiteracy In Virginia He said that
$1,000 whites above ten years Of age
are unable TO read and write. and
more than 10000 negroes are in the
same condition. On the last two days
Of this month. ne said. the division

late plans for fighting this evil. and
