Apples lor Georgia.
According to an estimate made
by the New York Independent the
! apple crop of the United States
last year amounted to 215,000,000
barrels, worth an average of $2
per barrel. That would bring the
total value of the crop up to $430,
000,000. The cotton crop of 1898
was worth about $306,000,000, and
the wheat crop of 1899 about $320,
000,000, making apples a leader
of both by a long distance, It is
probable that the Independent’s
I j figures are approximately correct,
I although an estimate. Oddly
enou e h notwithstanding the
0 ’
ofTliApple nnrtions and great value
isLid output, so little at
tcntion to it that no official
t data is ever gathered respecting it,
hile other and less important
crops are wa tcbed as closely as a
sick baby by government officials
exchange and other iunetionaries.

Fourth Class Postmasters,
j Few people know just exactly
where a fourth class postmaster
gets his pay. His patrons, more
often than otherwise, know the
least about the matter, and not
many others know that, humble as
the fourth class office is, it serves
the greatest number of people in
I the United States.
There are over 70,000 of these
offices, while there are just 4,500
of the third, second and first class
or salaried offices. The West sal
ary paid these is St.ooo and the
highest salary is $8,000 a vear.
The fourth class officers must
rustle for their own pay. Some
times that is as low as $1 a month,
and sometimes as high . as $60 a
