WILL CONTROL
ALL SHIPMENTS.
American Fruit Growers As
sociation to Undertake a
Tremendous Task.
CONCERT Os ACTION
Will Prevent Any Clash Between the
California Growers and Those
of the Piecmont Section.
The American Frui<i Growers' Associa
tion, winch will meet at Chicago early in
March, contemplates the gigantic task of
controlling Kai pine nts from different sec
tions and so timing the deliveries that Cal
ifornia fruii growers will no compete with
those of the Piedmont region and the eas
tern states.
The Union was organized about a year
ago, and Mr. John D. Cunningham, of
Georgia, is its president. He has in con
templation a trip to Caiifonia for the pur
pose of arranging for concert erf action be
tween the fruit growers of that section
and the orchard men of this section. Hav
ing 169,000 peachtreem of his own, Mr. Cun
riingliam us deeply interested in .the mark
etiing of ‘the crop at fair prices, and ‘has
given a great dial of time and thought no
the subject. Speaking of it today he said:
“The demand for fruit is greater than
■the supply, but at present it comes inito
the market from the different sections ut
terly wiliaout knowledge on the part of
each as to what shippers in other sec
tions arc doing. We want to have some
Information and concert of action so as to
not glut a market by shipping there al the
same time from different sections, when,
perhaps, there are markets elsewhere and
for all 'the fruit that all the sections will
produce. If we can overcome this bad diis
tribunion it will be a great thing for the
fruit growers.
The American Fruit Growers’ Union is
a stock company, operated on the co-oper
ative plan. The stock is |lO a share, pay
able one-fifth down, with two-year notes
for the remainder, Whioh is supposed to be
paid from the profits arising from com
missions on the sale of frulit. The union
agent* in all the cities and will handle
fruit for its members. In this way it is
hoped to secure a more uniform ‘distribu
tion of the fruit crop in the different mar
kets.

has, as a body, joined the American Fruit
Growers’ Union.
SMALLPOX
In the Army—Experinces of
One of the “Old Guards.”
Editor News: As there has been so much
said of late about small pox and the dan
gers of the disease. 1 beg to give you my
experience and perhaps it will serve to al
lay the fears of the more timid, even if
It does cost the doctors a fee.
During the winter of ’64 Lee’s army was
near Orangeburg Court House in
Virginia, and one ’morning there came an
order to McGowan’s South Carolina bri
gade for a detail. Gathering my gun and
blankets, with others 1 reported at head
quarters for instructions, little knowing
or caring where we were to be sent, and
with that indifference that an old soldier
learned by hard licks, that squard of men
marched to the depot in jolly good humor,
but after a twenty mile ride to Gordons
ville, our train run along side of cars
marked in large letters, “Small pox cars."
We were a badly seared set, and when told
that we were to go to wtiat was known as
the quarantine hospital of the army ot
Northern Virginia to do guard duty, there
was not a mother’s son among us who
would not have rather ben ordered into
line of battle. We found a number of eases,
at the camp in all stages of the disease.
Our duty was to go to the train each day,
place a guard at the doors and send a non
commissioned officer through the train to
order off all soldiers returning to the army
and in every case there was shown the
utmost reluctance to the camp, and in
taking all the chances of being shot, per
fectly willing to go to the army, but to
a small pox camp, no.
Whether the men were vaccinated or not
I don’t recollect, but I do remember that
the “old guard ’ soon lost all fear of the
disease and had immense fun at the ex
pense of others they captured to quaran
tine. and I do recollect that the surgeons
of that day claimed that if they could get
the patient in the early stages there was
absolutely no danger and that It did not
spread to any extent, only to a number of
men who were exposed to it. and the best
accommodation they had was wall tents
and sick and wounded soldiers for nurses.

THEATRICAL NOTES.
HOYT’S “A MILK WHITE FLAG.”
The mere announcement that at the
Academy of Music next Thursday evening,
“A Milk White Flag,” the work of that
able delineator of American humor, should
and will be enough .to call out not only
the largest, but the most select audience
of the season. This is the most elaborate
effort of this popular playwright. It has
been said that Mr. Hoyt was a business
playwright, that he wrote and produced
playis in order to get the public'is money.
That he has been successful there can be
no doubt. He constantly keeps a finger
upon the purse of the play goers. He dis
covers just what the theatre-goers want,
and then supplies that want. That “A
Milk White Flag” was what the amuse
ment seekers were in need of, is best il
lustrated by the long runs and the phe
nomenal business the piece has c”loved
ever since it first seen the light of day.
The piece cannot be called a comedy, an
opera, a spectacle, or a melo-drama. It
is in fact, all of them ■ combined in one,
and requires for its proper presentation,
the largest cast of the best stars in the
profession. The scenery, mechanical ef
fects and costumes that will! be seen here
will be the same which characterized the
successful run at Hoyt’s Theatre, New
York, for more than 200 nights.
THE FUNNY FARCE OF THE SEASON.
The conspicuous hit of George H.
Broadhurst’s fai<ce, “What Happened to
Jones” in New York, where it ran for
three months, is attracting widespread at
tention and comment making the author
■the man of the hour as far as teatricals
are concerned. The following byone of
the most prominent critics in the country
is a good example of what is generally
said:
“Mr. Broadhurst’s success with ‘What
Happened to Jonese,’ recently threw a half
score of adapters, translators and general
monkeyers, ‘from the French' into indig
nant hysterica. This mode«t and very un
assuming young man has simply succeed
ed by dint of perseverance and ability,
which should inspire the vast army of as
pirants with hope. (He was absolutely un
known a couple of years ago; 'he was the
despised of managers and outside the
‘ring.’ Yet he has come to the front un
aided. Prominent managers had nothing
to do with the success of Mr. Broadhurst
and I want that fact to be digested."
“What Happened to Jones” is the at
traction at the Academy of Music with the
following list of players: Anna Belmont,
George C. Boniface, Jr., Florence Robin
son, Kathryn Osterman. George Ober,
Matite Ferguson, Wm. Bernard. J. iW.
Cope. Mrs. E. A. Eberle, Reuben Fax, Rose
Stuart and Harry Rose.

WILL COL. LOCKE
BE A MCE?
On the Altar of Republican
ism in the Sixth Corgres
sional District.
IITIMITES Ml Hi MH
Lend the Forlorn Hope of the Par
ty of the Minority Against
Charley Bartlett.
Colonel R. D.'"'Locke, one of the leading
Republicans of the state, is not of the
opinion that the Republicans are losing
strength in Georgia, on the comtrary, he is
of the opinion that they will show greatly
increased strength in the next elections.
In conversation with a News reporter
Colonel Locke said 'that It was now a set
tled fact as to who would have the Ma
con postoffice. He said that Walter Cor
bett would get the place.
When asked if he thought he would ever
enter politics in Georgia as a Champion of
the Republicans, he said that he might.
It is well known that the Republicans
have wanted Colonel Locke to run for con
gress on their ticket several times, but he
■has always refused, but now Colonel Locke
is not so certain or defeat, and he inti
•anated that he would be in the race next
Novembei.
’When Bob Berner was here a few days
ago he closed his lips as tight as a clam,
and would not answer whether he would
opopse Bartlett or not. Mr. Berner has
evidently given the plan considerable
thought, for if he was sure he was not go
ing to enter the race he would have de
clared that at once.
The friends of Congressman Bartlett, of
Bibb, do not fear that he will fail to be
nominated again against all comers.
Colonel Locke said it was rather early
now talk of the congressional race, but
he said it was possible that he would have
to run against Bartlett.
VOICE OF LONG AGO.
Returned to a Woman in Midnight Hours —
She Was the Idol of Maine.
Mrs. Lucretia M. Judson, an aged wo
man, of Portland, Me., who years ago was
famed throughout the state and nation for
her beautiful voice, is said to have recov
ered the use of her vocal chords after a
quarter of a century.
The lady would never have been aware
olf ‘the almost .supernatural gift of second
voice, as it might be called, unless she
had been told.
Mrs. Judson attended a revival meeting
some weeks ago, and during the services
she was charmed by the rendering of an
old song. That night long after she
had retired her husband returned from a
trip out of the city. As he opened the
door strains of soft sweet melody were
wafted toward him from some strange
source. He paused on the doorway, lis
tening in rapt admiration.
His heart beat faster, for the song awak
ened within him membories of long ago,
when his young wife had been the idol of
the vicinity on account of 'the sift richness
of her voice.
Slowly he stepped up the stairs listen
ing. Still the song vibrated in the sweet
est cadence. He could not believe his sen
ses.
His wife was sitting up in bed. Her eyes
were closed. Her lips moved. The room
was filled with song. Her whole soul
seemed to be melting in melody.
Since that night 'Mrs. Judson has never
sung during the day, but at night, not
infrequently the voice of her girlhood lin
gers for a brief moment 'with her in the
hours of sleep.
JACK AND WALTER MARKS.
They Are Charged With Having Murdered a_
Woman.
Bristol, Tenn., Jan. 28. —Jack and Walter
Marks, brothers, in jail at Abbington, Va.,
are charged with one of the most heartless
murders recorded in the criminal annals
of the state of Virginia.
On the night of December 9th last Mrs.
Rebecca Carlton, aged 80, was assassina
ted in her own home, having been shot
through the head with an old army ’pistol,
then brained with some blunt instrument.
Her son-in-law, Jack Marks, whose wife
is dead, lived in the house with .Mrs. Carl
ton. On the night of the murder he, his
little daughter and the servant girl went
to the house of a neighbor, leaving Mrs.
'Carlton alone. During their absence rhe
murder was committed.
Circumstances pointed to Walter Marks
as the assassin, and the evidence subse
quently adduced was strongly against him
and his brother Jack, making it appear
that they had probably planned the mur
der as it occurred.
Blood spot swere found on Walter Marks’
pants, it is alleged, the day following the
murder. It was in evidence that Jack
Marks had threatened Mrs. Carlton’s life
and she feared him.
Because of alleged ill treatment at the
hands of Jack Marks, the old lady had
declared her intention to revoke her will
by which Jack Mark’s little daughter was
to come into possession of the farm and
other property.
It is charged that the murder was com
mitted to prevent the threatened change
in Mrs. Carlton’s will.
The trial of the Marks brothers is set for
the last week in February in the county
court at Abbington.
WILL D. UPSHAW
To Speak at the Y. M, C. A. Sunday Af
ternoon.
“What Shall a Young Man Do 'With His
Life?” is the important subject to be dis
cussed by Mr. W. D. Upshaw, the “rolling
chair orator,” at the Young Men's Chris
tian Association meeting next Sunday. Mr.
Upshaw has lectured all over the South,
’and from the many testimonials to his
ability we cull the following:
Dallas (Tex.) Dispatch: Mr. William D.
Upshaw, of Georgia, or “Earnest Willie,”
as he is widely known, delighted his large
audience at Washington Avenue Baptist
church last night. Sometime he speaks
from his rolling chair and sometime® he
rises on his crutches and in an impassion
ed eloquence lifts his audience with him.
His voice is clear and ringing, and he
keeps his hearers swinging between that
' pendulum of mirth, inspiration and pathos
which natural eloquence always produces.
“LIKE AN APRIL DAY'.”
“Earnest Willie’s lecture or entertain
ment was such a delightful mixture of
pure mirth and earnest beauty—such a
charming blending of happy sunshine and
tender tears that the effect made one
think of the varying moods of an April
day.”—The Messenger, Humbolt, Tenn.
PACKED HOUSE IN CLASSIC ATHENS.
“Earnest Willie” drew the largest crowd
that any speaker has ever drawn to the
lecture hall here. He completely charmed
his audience in the classic city.”—Cor.

He is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. P., Lippman s Great Rem
edy, For It.
Mr. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla.,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
be could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish
ment, and in this manner life was sus
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter : “ Truth is stranger
than Fiction.”
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his eheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi
cians in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. P. P. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. P. P., Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy.
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.
