ZACH MGHEE PASSES AWAY. Succumbs After Brave Battle Against Disease-Funeral Saturday. Washington, Feb. -23.-Mr. Zach Mc Ohee, for the last five years the Wash ington correspondent of the Columbia State, and who has worked for other papers since coming to Washington,I died at his apartments at the Bruns wick, tonight at 6.30 o'clock. With ]Lim at the time, were his two broth ers, Sam and Rutledge McGhee, and two sisters, Misses Helen and Mary McGhee. The end came peacefully, after a w,sting and weakening illness that lasted for about six weeks. Early in January Mr. McGhee was attacked with stomach and blood trouble and called in physicians. They at once saw that he was in a bad con dition. He grew worse, and in a short time the ravages of aggravated anae mia were apparent. Nothing that lov ing attention could do could check the! onward march of the disease, a4d lit tIe by little he lost strength and vital ity. A week ago hope was practically abandoned, and the immediate fam j1y gathered around Mr. McGhee's bedside. He was a magazine contributor and the author of one book, "The Dark Corner," disclosing the life of the backwoods people of .he South. He was 39 years of age and was once as sistant superintendent of education for the State of South Carolina. A committee has been selected from the corps of Washington newspaper oorrespondents to act as an honorary escort, when the body is taken from Lee's undertaking establishment to morrow night, at 7.30 o'clock, to be placed aboard the Seaboard Air Line train for Greenlood. The train will reach Greenwood at 12.30 o'clock Sat urday and the funeral will probably be held that afternoon, -'although the exact hour has not been determined. TO AID THE FARMERS. For Betterment of Agricultural Con ditions Southern Railway Operat ing Educational Trains. Washington, D. C., Feb. 25.-During the week beginning Monday, March 6, the Southern% Railway company, in line with its policy of doing every thing possible for *he betterment of agricultural. conditions in the terri tory traversed by its lines, will run two special agricultural educational trains. One of these trains will be operated in cooperation with the Vir ginia department of agriculture and immigration and will spend the en tire week on the Richmond division, embracing the lines between Ricah mond and Danville a'nd Richmond and West Point. Meetings have been ar ranged at 12 points at which the train will stop. The other will be run over the lines of the Southern railway and the'Queen and Crescent Route in Ken tuky in cooperation with the depart *ment of agriculture and the college of agriculture of that State. Twenty four stops will be made by this train. Each .of these trains will be in charge of parties made up of men of1 scientific knowledge and practical ex perience who will be able to give in formation of the greatest value. Sub jects will be arranged to meet the most pressing needs of the different sections visited. Bad weather will flot be allowed to interfere with the meetings- as all will be held in the passenger coaches which the trains will carry. The Southern railway in connection with other lines is furnishing abso lutely .free of charge a train with which the State College of Agriculture of Georgia is making a forty-seven, day tour of that State. The great ex ,pense entailed by tne running -of these trains is borne by the Southern in the belief that its interests are identical with those of the farmers of ' the South and that it will eventually -.be repaid by the improvement in con ditions 'that will result from an in-I creasing adoption of better methods of agriculture.
