Commissioner.
Atlanta, Ga.—Governor Brown had
tendered the position of state school
commission, soon to be made vacant
by the resignation of Commissioner
Jhre M. Pound, to Professor M. L.
Brittain, county school commissioner
of Fulton county.
While neither the governor nor Pro¬
fessor Brittain will discuss the mat¬
ter, it is understood there is no ques¬
tion that he will accept.
Tije whole situation, it appears, is
yet in the informal state. Commission¬
er Pound has informed the gu.ernor
that he would resign to take effect
July 1, when he goes to the Gordon
Institute, but has not yet written his
resignation.
, But upon the strength of Professor

sr a assurance ac
fessor Brittain is a graduate of
y College, and has devoted his
i life to the work of education in
;ia. He was recently tendered
E^Jposition fe^Rge, but declined, of president to continue of Shorter his
aa superintendent of Fulton
^F’erftl ■hty schools, which he has held for
years. He was formerly con¬
nected with Atlanta's public schools,
but left them to take up the work in
the county.
The appointment will hold only un¬
til after the regular state election In
October, or until the expiration of Pro¬
lessor Pound’s two year term.
THE PEACH CROP.
ft,061 Cars of Peaches to Be Marketed
in 1910.
Macon, Qa—Georgia's peach crop,
■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 $3 in a crate.
Fruit crop failures 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¬
ise 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 a 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. It 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.
Juliette, 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 a fine crop of peaches will be
harvested here this year, as fully as
good as last season, when a half crop
was gathered.
HOW TO AVERT PELLAGRA.
Department of Agriculture Issues an
Important Bulletin.
Atlanta, Ga.—To avert pellagra in
the cases of cattle and live stock ap¬
pears to be the subject of a circular
order issued by the state department
of agriculture.
Commissioner T. G. Hudson Is send¬
ing out notice to merchants and deal¬
ers over the state, calling their atten¬
tion to the necessity of carefully in
spectmg the condition of all corn
shipped to them during the next few
months.
About this time of the year there is
a great deal of complaint with regard
to damaged corn, which is due chiefly
to improper curing. Corn not subject¬
ed to proper storage condition when
gathered will become heated, and in
the sweating process which follows
the grain is likely to be damaged,
rendering its dangerous when fed to
The pure food law prohibits
the sale of corn in this condition, ex¬
cept when full notice Is given the
purchaser of the nature and extent of
the damage.
The department has issued a bul¬
letin, No. 48, giving the grades of
COl adapted to Georgia, which will
be of gnat assistance to the buyer.
Commissioner Hudson says that grade
No. 2 corn is allowed a maximum of
16 per cent moisture and No. 3 as
much as 19 per cent, and this will
not become heated in Georgia climate
under ordinary conditions of care. He
advises Georgia merchants to Insist
that corn shipped to them shall come
within these requirements, as they
will thereby avoid annoyance and
trouble which is sure to come to them
If the state inspector finds they are
offering damaged corn for sale.
Commissioner Hudson says the
present price of live stock is too great
to take any chance on feeding them
with damag 'd corn, and he feels that
this warning to the merchants of
Georgia will be of considerable value
and protection to the consumers.
Atlanta-Macon Electric Road.
Macon, Ga.—According to Informa¬
tion coming from prominent Electric persons
Interested in the Interurban
Railway lines from Macon to Atlanta
and from Macon to Albany, the con
tractors ye soon to break dirt for the
construction. The line to Atlanta is
promised complete during the present
year, The construction work awaits
some details that are at this time
under consideration, As soon as the
business plans are ready, the build¬
ing will be done very rapidly.

ADVERTISING THE SOUTH.
Southern Railway Exhibit Bringing Desirable
Settlers South.
Atlanta, Ga. — In connection with
the work it is doing in exploiting the
resources of the south with the pur¬
pose of attracting desirable settlers,
the Southern Railway company an¬
nounced that during the coming fall
it will make displays of southern pro¬
ducts at a number of important fairs
in the north and west where they will
be witnessed by at least a million peo¬
ple outside the south.
At the Ohio Valley exposition to be
held at Cincinnati, October 29 to Sep¬
tember 24, the Southern Railway com¬
pany, co-operating with other railway
companies of the south, will make
a very large exhibit. Arrangements
have been made for over twenty
thousand square feet of floor space
in which it is planned to install Just
as complete exhibits as possible of
the agricultural, horticultural, miner¬
al, forest and manufactured produots
of the south. Attractive photographs
will also be used to exploit the re¬
sources and beauties of the sotuhern
country.
in addition to this joint display at
Cincinnati, the Southern Railway com¬
pany will make a number of displays
at other expositions and important
fairs where it is likely the greatest
number of people can be reached and
shown the possibilities and opportu¬
nities which await them in the south
along the lines of the Southern and
its allied roads.
The co-operation of the people of
the south is needed and requested in
making these exhibits as attractive,
complete and convincing am they
should be, and it is hoped that they
will give this co-operation by contrib¬
uting specimens an,’ samples of prod¬
ucts which will aid in showing the re
sources of the country. Samples of
agricultural products of high class,
together with Information about
yields, cultivation and returns are es¬
pecially wanted.
M V. Richards, land and industrial
agent, Washington, D. C., will make
the exhibits for the Southern Railway
system and all who are Interested
should communicate with him, giving
information about the material they
can furnish, so that proper instruc¬
tions may be given as to shipping
products for display. It is important
that every section be properly repre¬
sented and commercial bodies, agricul¬
tural organizations and citizens gen¬
erally interested in the growth of
their localities are invited to promote
the interests of their particular seu
tions by working for a thorough rep¬
resentation. The representatives of
the Southern's land and industrial de¬
partment in the south are: W. I., Hen¬
derson, Mobile, Ala.; O. J. Stephens,
Macon, Ga.; T, B. Thackston, Bristol,
Tenn.; and J. F. Hays, Brevard, N. C.
A letter to any of them or to Mr. Rich¬
ards will receive prompt attention.
The determination of the Southern
Railway company to make such exten¬
sive exhibits of tho resources and
products of the south at expositions
and fairs in the north and west thla
fall is due to the splendid results re¬
ceived from such work in tho pant.
Since its organization in 1894 the
Southern Railway company has made
exhibits of the products of the coun¬
try along Its lines at nearly fifty ex¬
positions and fairs, both in the United
States and Europe. In this work the
company has expended a largo
amount of money, believing this to be
one of the best methods of advertis¬
ing the southern states.
These displays have done most ef¬
fective "boosting" for all portions of
the south reached by the company's
lines and many settlers and Industries
can be traced directly to them.
NO HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
Department of Health Will Not Be
Created by P re rent Congress.
Washington, D. C. —There seems tq
be no likelihood that congress wiU
take any action at the present sesslo#
on the Owen bill to create an addi¬
tional executive department to be
known as the department of health.
The hearings on the bill were con¬
cluded and no meeting of the senate
committee on public health and na¬
tional quarantine bad been called for
the purpose of making a report
Washington News Notes.
There Is reason to believe that See
retary Knox contemplates taking
some immediate action, having f at
its object the re-establishment of
peaceful relations between Peru and
Ecuador. The state department of¬
ficials, however, decline, to discuss
the matter at this time.
After weeks of alternate Inactive
deadlock and careful work of consider¬
ation, conference and compromise the
house postal savings bank bill, as fa¬
vored by the republican members of
the committee on postoffices and post¬
roads, was introduced to the houfth
by Representative Gardner of Now
Jersey.
More than two hundred witnesses
fronl many parts of the country are
to be summoned by the government
to appear before the grand jury at
Montgomery, Ala., which is to inves¬
tigate the jewelry bankruptcy fraud.
A dozen persons have been arrested
in connection with the alleged frauds,
as a result of the inquiries prosecut¬
ed by the department of justice. Loss¬
es estimated to range from 3500,000
to 32,000,000 are said to have been
suffered by merchants.
After a conference with the presi¬
dent at the white house Secretary Na¬
gle of the department of commerce
and labor announced that he would
make a two months' trip to the north¬
west and to Alaska, leaving Washing¬
ton the latter part of June.
Battling Nelson, the prize fighter,
was before the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce and
spoke against the bill introduced by
Representative Smith of Iowa to pro¬
hibit the transportation through inter¬
state commerce of moving picture
films of prize fights and boxing
matches. The battler told the commit¬
tee that such a drastic law would kill
boxing and do much to injure athlet¬
ics. He said there is over $5,000,00
invested in the “game," and that the
Smith bill, if it became a law, would
destroy that property.

IT IS THE ROUP.
Would like to know through your
columns the name and a cure for a
new disease among my chickens.
They get their breath hard, and a
careful examination shows their
throat and mouth full of white sores,
tongue swollen and breath very of¬
fensive. One hen has lost sight in
hei left eye. Their heads are not
swollen, they seem hungry but can't
swallow very well.—C. S. 8.
Answer:—Your chicken® are trou¬
bled with roup. The symptoms you
describe are these of this disease.
There are several remedies. Cleanse
the drinking dishes thoroughly with
boiling water in which a little car¬
bolic acid has been added. Isolate
the affected birds, giving soft food
and water containing ginger. For se¬
vere eases characterized by enlarg¬
ed head, canker in mouth, add a gill
of kerosene oil to a bucket a little
over half full of water and dip the
head of the diseased bird into the
oil so that the eyes are covered. Draw
it out quickly and wipe dry.
Another remedy is to mix a table¬
spoonful of clear lard, half as much
each of ginger, cayenne pepper, mus¬
tard and enough flour to make a
dough. Roil this into slugs the size
of the tip of the little finger and
put one down the patient’s throat
every twelve or twenty-four hours ac
cording to the severity of the case.—
