shipped to bleacheries m

ed. This is .no f longer tfid ; case.
Two large bleacheries are locat
ed in this county and these two
plants finish the majority' of the
cotton goods made by the l ocal
mills.
Known For Other Things
“But Griffin is also known for
other things than her Turkish
towels and her cotton goods. Lo
cated within the limits of the
city are the plants of the Po
mona Products Company, canners
of at least fifty per cent of the
pimiento peppers canned in this
country. About ten years ago, a
Spalding county farmer with a
vision, wrote the American am
bassador in Spaing asking him to
send seed of the Spanish pimien
to. The seed arrived and were
planted. The red day . soil of
Georgia was well suited for pep
per culture and it was shown
that they could be grown here in
large quantities.
U The’ next question was a meth
od of preserving. The Spanish
canneries used a method of boil
ing in oil. This method was not
as modern as it should be and
the Spalding Criunty farmed feet
out to find another method. He
discovered and patented a ma
chine whereby the pepper is
roasted and in 'the roasting the
skin is burhed off. This method
and machine, with slight improve
ments, are used today in the
three modern plants operated by
the Fdinoria Products Company.
,I "' 1 Teach Grows Here
r *The ‘ ' Gerirgia peadh, world
wide in reputation and flavor,
grows as well in this section of
the state as anywhere. Last year
peaches of the value of one hun
dred eighty-five thousand dollars
were shipped to eastern and
northern markets from this coun
ty. So, Griffin, the home of the
baby Exchange Club, is located
in the midst of a manufacturing
and agricultural district. During
the years when the boll weevil
wrought financial ruin to some
sections of the country, Grjffin
continued to grow and prosper,
for the reason,that Griffin is not
dependent upon any one thing for
,her prosperity.

Some Early History of Spalding County
(By J. A. DARSEY)
In a former article, naming
the members of the Griffin bar
and the positions that various
ones had filled, I inadvertently
failed to state that Judge John
J. Hunt was also one of tfeosg
who had been a judge of the Su

cuit. He strived but the unexpired
term of Judge James S. Boynton,
being about one year or more.
