There were several hundred visitors, consisting of parents of the children and friends of the school, conspicuous among whom were Superintendent R. A. Doble and Mr. Boswolt Bagnalt, the latter a -warm advocate of the system of public education, both of whom were unanimous In their expressions of ap? proval of the order of exercises. The children formed In the school building In regular order and marched to the yard, the girls looking beautiful In their snowy white costumes, while the boys appeared equally as handsome In their new spring outfits.

The mid- Vugust heat of yesterday was relieved to a great extent by a wind and thunder storm shortly after midnight this morning. Tho weather man. sitting by his electric, fan in the seventh floor of the Citizens' Hank building, si..iled down In Mcphlsto llke glee on the sweltering populace trudging along Main street, where the thermometer was within a half dozen degrees of the hundred mark. The weather man himself. In his oillclal re? port, gave DO degrees as the maximum reached, and would give no hope for cooler weather. Of course there are those mean enough to lay great stress on tho fact that last night's thunder Btorm. which brought the relief, came While tho weather man slent. Flnnnc? Committee Meet*.

The entire amount of stock was taken by the stockholders of the old company, except a portion, which was set aside to be sold to some of the prominent and most valued employes of the company. Borden's Condensed Milk Company is at the present time the largest manu? facturers of proprietary food products In the world. Constant additions to the company's manufacturing facilities have been made year by year to keep pace with the increasing demand. New factories have been added, until now it operates fifteen very large plants, among which are some that outrank In size, capacity and actual product manufactured, any other factories of * similar nature In the world? ltnllrond Violate* Ntitt* Constitution (By Telegraph to Vlrginlan-Pilot.) Atlanta, Ga., May St.?Governor Candler nnnn\inced to-day that the State.of Georgia would proceed against the Central of Georgia Railroad Tor vto- j lation of the constitution in defeating competition. A suit will be brought In behalf of the people of Eatonton, who assert that tho Central of Georgia Railroad In acquiring by purchase Ihe Middle Georgia and Atlantic running from Irvlngton to Mllledgevllle has vio? lated a cardinal principle of the con? stitution. It is probable the first step to be taken by the State will be an application for an Injunction restrain? ing the Central from operating Its line formerly owned by the Middle Georgia and Atlantic. Should such an applica? tion be granted the direction of 'the road will be left in the hands of the court.
