Knoxville, royally enthroned and ! autitully Bet in the mountain sec>ii of East Tennessee, is one of the , J cities of the State, having been i unded in 1792, when this part of the ' untry was yet claimed as a eouuty \ the State of North Carolina. i In the early days here dwelt John 1 vier, hero of King's Mountain tight, 1 id lirst Governor of Tennessee, to < bose memory now stands a fitting j onument in Court House Square, ( is city. The Old Capitol Buildine, ill standing in a good state of preserition, is one of the show places of 1 e town, as is, also Fort Sanders, the i y to the aeige of" Knoxville in the 1 a* Between the States. , In the Natioual Cemetery here are ' iried 3300 Uniou soldiers. Accord- J g to a government regulation, as, i rhaps, many of us know, the flag- < iff stands in the centre, and the foot 1 every grave points to the flag staff, , ereby forming concentric circles, the i rgest having a radius of 200 yards, { rhaps. Kuoxville seems to be a city of solid velopment. The population, include the suburbs, is estimated at 80,000. From a business standpoint, Knoxlie is among the most progressive Lies of the South. The jobbing bus- . ess amounts, annually, to fifty mil- 1 ?ns, the manufacturing output to fifmillions, the latter as shown by the 1 S. Geographical Report, growing e hundred per cent, between the ars 1900-1905. 1 Knoxville furnishes the cheapest jam fuel of any city in the South, 1 id nearly a million horse power, if veloped, could be furnished by the olston aud French Broad rivers, bich unite at Knoxville, forming the mnessee. The city is in the centre of the disict furnishing the celebrated Tennese marble, of which there are ten vaitiep, embracing 150 different shades id colors, and unsurpassed for inte>r decorative purposes. The six mare mills have an annual output of one illion dollars. Its textile establishments are equipid with more than 100,000 spindles, 500 looms, giving employment to upirdsof 3,000 people, the annual outit amounting to more than two mil>n dollars. The largest woollen mill, South, is und here. In addition to these, ere are found here numbers of other anufactories, viz., flour and iron rollg mills, furniture factories, the great ;ter Kern Candy Co., which for forty ars has been the leading candy rnanacturing establishment in the South. In addition to its public schools, i noxville has ten educational institu>ns. It is the educational capital of ist Tennessee. Here is the Univer- i :y of Tennessee, ideally located in e beautiful Barbara Park, 1100 feet ove sea level. From the foot of Unirsity Hill the grounds rise in three 1 eat terraces, each laid off in lovely 1 ives aud shaded walks. Indeed, other Nature seems to have showered ;r blessings with a lavish hand! agnificent oaks, elms, and maples, rily of "the forest primeval," shade 1 e entire park of forty acres. From e topmost of these terraces, we have magnificent view of the broad Tenissee,?beyond, winding roads, hills, illeys, and farms, while as a far disnt background, we have the Great nokies on the East, and the Cumbernd Mountains on the West. Here, in this ideal the eighth esion of the Summer School of the < >uth?that wonderful f- or in the ucational movement now reaching i all parts of the South, was formally lenea Tuesday morning, June 22, I 09, with the largest attendance yet i irolled. This school is the result of a demand I ade by progressive teachers all over i e South for a summer school of high ade. Knoxville is centrally located the region south of the Ohio and st of the Mississippi, has good rail- : ad facilities, and good climate. The Diversity of Tennessee (whose plaut 1 used by the Summer School) fursbes attractive surroundings and acmmodations for large numbers, 1 bile board can be had at the lowest asonable prices. Judging from the iprecedented success of the school, noxville is pre-eminently the place r such a gathering. ] Henceforth, Knoxville shall be the i tfecca" of the Southern teacher, to ; bich he shall make an annual pil- ; image?not "to see and die," but to | re evermore, refreshed by drafts from 1 e living waters of life in the full j use of the term.

Special to tbe State. Greenwood, July 8.?Greenwood was sublenled late Wednesday afternoon to a terrlfl< wind, ball and rain storm. Tbe damage ovei the town and county was very heavy though as yet do definite news can be got from tbe lu'lylng towns on account of tbe destruction ol telephone wires. The damage In the city and nearby consists mainly of destrnotlon ol dwelling*, barns, trees, etc., there being nc serious effects as tc tbe Injury of persons. Tbe large warehouse of Durst-Andrews Company was almost destroyed, the root being swept away by the strong wind and tb? bnlldtng twisted udtll the entire slrnctnre saved In. The rnof on tbe seed bouse of tbe Greenwood Oil mill whs lifted up add carried several hundred yards. Tbe residence of Mr. Dick Reynolds waf struck by lightning, tbe cblmney falling and imashlng the roof In. Several barns were demolished and it It quite remarkable tbat though many contained live stock, not a single animal wa? tilled or even iDjured. In every portion 01 tbe town trees were-pulled from tbe ground by tbe terrible wind force, in many instancet crashing through tbe telephone wires and sauting great damage to t be system. As a result of tbe ball and rain tbe already poor crops of tbe county were damaged to e great extent and tbe farmers have added a aegree or two of gloom to their expression. + Resume of Message of Gov.

Probably the most expensive of ^11 the fine fruits sold here out of season are the hothouse peaches importied from Belgium and offered in the , month of May. These Belgian hothouse peaches come packed six in a box, each in an amnle bed of cotton. Tbe peaches re quire a little extra mom, on account of ihe manner in which they are taken > from (he tree, for these are not simply bare peaches to be huddled in together any how, but to each is still attached the stem on which it grew, while to the stem is attached a little section cut i from the twig or bough to which, while growing, the peach was suspended from the tree, stem and bough giving thus to each person a separate personality or grace of its own. Early in May when they first come these peaches sell here for $24 a dozen. About the middle of May or a little later they bring $18, and along at the last of May or the first of June they can be bought foa $12 a dozen. But that is about the last of them, for along around May 29th Florida reaches only a little later, arid about June 1 the price of fancy peaches tabes a sudden great drop.

It Is all because of tbe tall of tbe comet ibat we are to undergo _ the remarkable experience of snowstorms in tb?< dog days, so says tbls scientist. For sometime now everything that goee wrong or Is unusual can be attributed to tbe tall of the comet. If we bave rain all daring the summer It will be because of tbe tall of tbe comet.
