2 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 for all A’uck. The result has been the building up and 'fostering of a considerable trade in the shipment of ■lan’a looking-glass t lie to Ser.

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.

LECTURE TO KEEP WOL’ FROM DOOR Hl* Salary as Chief Executive NotSufllcent lo Meet the Requirements ot His Family He Says. * Memphis, Sept. 27.—James M. Cole man, chairman of the democratic state committee, and first lieutenant of Gov.

He said to 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 ernor amounted tc, and that be wee running behind; but in deference to their wishes he agreed that he would remain as governor during the re mainder of the term, but that he would spend enough of the time lec turing to keep ( the wolf from the door.” Moments are useless if trifled away and they are dangerously wasted if con sumed by delay in cases where One- Minute Cough Cure would bring imme diate relief.

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.

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.
