Brightwood is very accessible to the
city of Richmond is exactly the same

centrally located library will involve
an original expenditure Of over $780,
900 to 100000. The annual appro-
priation asked for Is much less
than that now given to its library by
the city of Atlanta; whilst II the Ii
brary IL put beside the City hall Its
maintenance will be double the sum
now asked. without any proportionate
return.
Other Plans Suggested.
A word as to the suggestion that
the State build its library and give
the city the use of one of Its floors
for a popular library This sugges-
ton Is more catchy than sound. The
State, of course, will insist upon its
control OF the whole building, and
any money given by the city would
have to be expended through State
officers and accountable only to the
State No city council will appro-
pirate city money to be expended on
building not owned by the city. and
by those not responsible to the city.
Regarding such scheme. we can
learn by the experience OF the city
OF Providence. r. l.. which has both
u State and a city library.
In conclusion, we would add that
there is no technicality that would
prevent the college from giving good
title to the ground to be purchased
and to Jeter Memorial hall.

HAMPSH|RE'S
PEACH CROP TO
Be ENORMOUS

WINCHESTER, VA. May 49,
While Frederick county Is expected
to continue in its lead in the matter
of producing apples this summer and
fall, when 1t comes to growing and
shipping peaches the neighboring
West Virginia county of Hampshire
must be given the honors This prom
!ses to be the greatest of all peach
years in the county just west Of Fred
erick. No less than 1900 carloads
are expected to be handled by the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad on the
Romney branch. How to pick. pack
and market such perishable fruit
quickly and probably 10 a matter that
Is now receiving serious consideration.
and in this connection 1t may be
stated in passing that any OF the
many able bodied young and middle
aged men OF Winchester and vicin-
ity who feel constrained to complain
because they have no employment,
can undoubtedly ma work In the
great Hampshire peach orchards.
At q meeting held this week in
the once OF Mr. John j. Cornwell at
Romney and attended by Genera:
Superintendent F. e. Blaser. Divi-
sion Superintendent Kelley and otner
ofiicials Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and . dozen or more latge

Kown. plans were outlined for han.
ding the peach crop.
1t was estimated by the growers
that the fruit movement of the Rom
ney branch. including the cars that
would come over the Hampshire
Southern railroad between Petersburg
and Romney would aggregate at least
1000. With that estimate before him,
Mr.. Blaser stated that HIS plan was
to assign an engine and crew to the
Romney branch for the excluSive pur-
pose Of handling the fruit cars over
1t.
To overcome the troubles that have
been heretofore experienced in ~
curing cars. It ID planned to have the
cars iced In Cumberland. delivered
at Green, Spring during tho night ana
then brought to Romney and other
points on the branch during the night
or In the early morning, 30 that the
growers can begin loading at an early
hour. A peach schedule will be es-
tablished, the special carrying. thel
fruit to leave late In the aftefAoo1

Brewer was of the old crowd in
Kansas Republicanism. He was not
of the clay Of which harmony bricks
are made.
So the movement to induce
.,"Billy" Morgan of Hutchinson to
run, was launched. Capper himself
went to Emporia and held a long
conference with Morgan. A little
later Morgan came to Topeka and
talked to Capper and state leaders.
Then he announced his candidacy.
But that didn't stop Brewer. He
had sent out his petitions and they
were being circulated in seven OF
the eight congressional districts OF
the state. Now they are filed and
Brewer is a candidate in the pri-
maries.

l. I \. x

OF the race for the Republican nom
nation for lieutenant governor have
failed. The former Dickinson coun7
ty senator mas filed his nomination
papers with the secretary OF state
And thus the Acknowledgements
gan coordination has been at least
temporarily broken.
Brewers candidacy for lieuten-
ant governor was greeted by the
harmony promoters with the same
wild enthusiasm that characterized
the entrance OF Charles Curtis In the
United States senatorial race after
the get-together workers had laid
nlanH for the Bristow-Capper deal
and the breaking of the Progressive
movement in Kansas Brewer Is q
regular Republican of the most pro-
nounced type. He was classified as
a member Of the senate lodge" DUR
ing the 1907 session of the legisia-
ture. He believes the Republican
marty represents much the same
principles it represented several
wears ago and he has refused to add
affixes or suffixes to his partisan
convictions. He is cast In the same
mould as the men with whom Mr..
Capper some months ago said there
could be no harmony. Yet Withal'
Brewer seems rather proud OF his
old fashioned Republican beliefs ana
his petitions from 80 counties indi-
cate that he isn't entirely alone.

alton papers. "And ! propose 70

rect attempt to break the Bristcw'
capper-Morgan combination before
the spiamaries rather than ct some
later stage of the game. When
Brewer announced his candidacy
some weeks ago, it did not arouse
the enthusiasm Of the men who
