CANNED GOODS HIGH
The Short Supply of Vegetables Cause
Prices to Idvance.
UP TWSH Y TO FIFTY PER CENT
Tat Vegetable Crop! In Maryland and Othe r
Stales i« Limited—Ueni'Cla Should
Haye Canola? Factories.
Although oottou continues to drop
lower, the necessaries of life are going
higher says the Macon Telegraph.
Flour was about the first thing to
start upward and nearly everything
is following.
Canned goods have now joined the
upward inarch and Macon housewives
will find them marked up from 20 to
50 per cent, above old prices. This,
however, is because of the scarcity of
the things that are put up in cans in
those sections of the country where
canning factories form a big industry.
In Georgia there has been enough
fruit, vegetables and berries wasted
this year to operate ipore than enough
factories to supply the state. True
the peach crop has been short, but
othir fruits were plentiful, and as for
vegetables of the varieties that are
canned there have been more than a
plenty.
Nearly all of the canned goods used
in Macon, and, in fact, in the country,
are pnt up in Maryland. Why this is
the case is not known, but it is a fact,
and this year they have been short
of everything in that state except pears.
There has been a short pack of every
thing except peas, and ip many of the
staple products the quantity canned this
year is barely more than one-half <that of
last year. In this list may be mentioned
berries and small fruits of all kinds,
tomatoes, corn, beans, apples, peaches,
cherries, Tears and pineapples.
. In consequence of the scarcity and
enhanced values in those goods the sup
ply has been well sold up, having been
contracted for many mouths in advance,
and the brokers in canned goods report
the market as strong and healthy,
which means higher prices and an active
demand In fact, the demand from all
sections of the country for the Maryland
pack of fruits and vegetables is largely
in excess of the supply. As the season
is now practically over, there is no
chance of adding to the supply; hence
future prices will be controlled entirely
by the offerings now in the market. Os
course, these being short, the advance
will be sustained throughout the con
suming season. Higher prices mean
greater profit on the stock handled, and,
therefore, more remunerative returns
both to the packer and the grower.
There are two .primary causes for
the short supply in these goods. .The
first was the unseasonable growing
weather when most of the fruits and
vegetables were ripening, causing a
partial failure in all the crops every
where, and in some sections a total
failure in many, '{he second cause is
one which deserves the serious atten
tion of truck farmers and fruit grow
ers as opening up great future pos
sibilities for the sale of early stock at
profitable prijas. This is the devel
opment of the fast express and freight
service by the railroad companies.
The railroads for several years past
have given special attention to af
fording quick transportation to dis
tant the growing season

the building up and 'fostering of a
considerable trade in the shipment of

JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Rome Hebrew t Observe the Day—Stores
Were all Closed Yesterday.
The Hebrew New Year, 5658, was
ushered in Sunday evening at sunsent.
It was appropriately observed by the
Jews of this city.
Yesterday their stores were all closed,
and no business was transacted. They
were all dressed in holiday attire.
The year 5658 from the creation (of
Adam) is a perfect common year of
355 days, for both months of Tishri
and Kisley have thirty days each.
When Kisley alone has thirty days it
is styled an ordinary; but when both
Tishri and Kisley are of twenty-nine
days, it is known as an imperfect year.
These variations in the days of the
month were adopted so that the day
of atonement, styled in the Bible as
the Sabbath of Sabbaths, would not
fall either on Friday or Sunday, and
thereby interfere with the proper ob
servance of the holy Sabbath.
The Jewish year is often given in
calendar as Anno Mundi, “the year
of the world,” in Hebrew, “Leberiath
Hoahlam;” but this appellation really
refers to the creation of man, as can
be perceived from the first words of
the Bible: “On the beginning created
God, the heavens and the earth,” for
as God has no beginning nor end, like
wise the universe must have been
always in existence. But the globe
or the earth we inhabit was not com
pletely created, until man made hie
appearance, and from his creation
dates the Jewish year, as can be easily
traced through the genealogical list of
the births and deaths, of the first
twenty patriarchs mentioned in Gene
sis. and afterward from the death of
Abraham, though biblical and post
biblical histpry, till the present day.
The “Bicyclist’s Best Friend” is a
familiar name for DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve, always ready for emer
gencies. While a specific for piles, it
also instantly relieves and cures cuts,
bruises, salt rheum, eczema and all af
fections of. the skin. It never fails.

Memphis, Sept. 27.—James M. Cole
man, chairman of the democratic
state committee, and first lieutenant
of Gov. Taylor, says:
“It was the Intention of the gover

sooner had be done that than the
prominent democrats of the party in
the state came to him and wrote to
him by hundreds and urged that, for
the sake of the party that had elected

them that his family was getting to a
point where it was necessary for him
to spend upon their care and educa
tion more than the salary of the gov

running behind; but in deference to
their wishes he agreed that he would
remain as governor during the re

would spend enough of the time lec

SKA ISLAND COTTON.
The Crop Will be About 40 Per Cent Short.
Last Year's Crop.
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 27.—The sea is
land cotton crop is probably 40 per cent
short in this section of the state, and re
ports from all parts of the sea island
belt indicate that the shortage will be
fully that great in other sections. A
month ago the outlook for the crop was
very good and estimates were made that
the crop would amount to 85,000 or 90-
000 bales this year. Recent reports, how
ever, indicate that this estimate is very
large and that the crop will fall far
short of that. The price this year . has
opened at just about what last season
closed, though 12,000 bales were re-,
ported at that time as being unsold in '
the ports. The amount of old cotton in
ports now is about 6,000 or 8,000 bales,
but this has operated to keep the price •
down. The most prominent authorities
on sea island botton in thia section be
lieve that the price of the staple will in
crease materially before the season gets
much older.

GERMANY VS, IREL IND
Nationality of The Player* In The Natlonsl
League. About an Even Break,
The old, old question of Irish and
German players has bobbed up again,
and seems to be disturbing the rest of a
number of good citizens around town.
One champion of Ireland has even as
serted that the Irish players in the
National League outnumber the Ger
mans in the ratio of three to one, while
a German asks the statistics to settle the
matter, says the Chicago News.
The following ought to put both Ire
land and Germany to sleep for a while.
There are, of course, many players
whose names cannot be exactly classi
fled in nationalities, but the following
list includes all who have taken part in
National League proceedings during the
present season:
Baltimore—Germans, Stenzel, Reitz,
Bowerman, Hoffer, Nops and Amole;
Irish, McGraw, Keeler, Kelley, Doyle,
Quinn, Cogan and Corbett.

CAVE SPRING NEWS.
Deaf and Bomb Spheol Improvements—Per
ponal Mention of Interest*
Cave Spring, Sept. 27.—A noted
divine remarked the otjjerday that
Cave Spring is the most beautiful
town he has ever seen in Georgia.

been in our village several weeks, she
returned home today.
Misses Rosa and Claire Norman
have returned from Cedartown.
Mrs. Burgess, of Atlanta, will oc

Miss Fannie Harper is always choice
in the selection of her visitors. Miss
Orie Best, of Cassville, and Miss Clara

source of gratification to the entire
town. Under Mr. Connor’s good
management the school is prospering,
and soon the already beautiful grounds
and buildings will be made still more
attractive by the new system of elec
tric lights, steam heating and water
works.
Last Sunday morning week Rev.
L. W. Rivers, pastor, opened a series
of services at the Methodist church,
Rev. Mr. Ver dell, of South Rome, as

been large, intelligent and respectful,
and there have been some accessions.
