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 ■Pound s statement tho governor made ■mder of the position to Professor ^^.tatn, and, it is stated, that he received would the 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 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.

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. the department . , ....... of the interior . has adopted a new policy which will fill the forest preserves full of trees with such high sound titles as the Joseph Gurney Cannon hickory, the Richard Achilles Ballinger red wood, and the William Howard Taft mulberry When Secretary Ballinger gave permission to name a tree ia California the "Pinchot tree,” he broke down the barriers which have been preventing the department for naming trees after prominent men.

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.— Indiana Farmer.
