sembly room of the Piedmont
hotel Monday afternoon, a 1<i 11 intr
frost struck tlio efforts of Carl
Albrecht, of Cincinnati, to gather
the peach growers of Georgia and
Alabama into a market exchange
from which his company, the Na
tional Produce Distributing Com
pany of Cincinnati, was to reap
commissions ranging from 10 to
60 per cent.
A few weeks ago Mr Albrecht
issued invitnf ions to 2,000 growers
to meet him in Atlanta and con
sider his proposit ion. About 150
growers were present when the
meeting was called to order Mon
day morning at 10:50 o’clock.
From then until 2:80 o’clock in
the afternoon the convention
heard Mr. Albrecht's plan ex
plained. briefly it \tns this: The
National Produce Distributing
company was to handle exclusive
ly the 1008 peach crop of the
growers on which the company
was to receive a commission of
12^ per cent for all cars shipped
or sold on route, 10 per cent on
fruit sold at the orchards, 25 per
cent on overcharge claims and 50
per cent on damage claims col
lected .
When a eommifcleo from those
present reported favorably on this
proposition and the matter was
opened for discussion, A. S. J.

through the section of the county
about Riddlevillo last Saturday
returning via Tennillc in the in
terest of this paper and returned
to the office late Saturday even
ing with several new names for
our subscription list and with
good news for the management.
Many of the people along the
route were met on their way to
Riddlevil'o after passing through,
which indicated that the merch
ants of the town do a nice busi
ness and the Saturday trade of nil
of them appeared t<> be good to a
visitor to the town. Riddh ville
Inis a wide territory from which
to draw and the farm lands about
the town are good. I p to this
time, it is doubtful if any section
is so well along with farming
preparations. An unusual quan
tity of guano is being hauled out
of Riddlevillo, though this seems
to be due t > the fact that more is
sold there tlmn to any increase in
the quantity of fertilizers to be
used this year.
Some of the county’s oldest
families and most prominent peo
ple live in that section and it is
claimed for the people that they
are the most sociable and neigh
borly people in the county. Nearly
all of them own their homes and

The letter menacing the judge

several days ago. It was enclosed
in an envelope with a border of
black around it, and on the baek
of the sheet of fool s cap paper
upon which the letter was written
appeared the imprint of an adult
hand in black ink.
The letter was ns follows:

Your friend has been named, yet

Gardner, of Cobb epunty asked j have lived in that section all their
Mr. Albrecht who composed the
National Produce Distributing
Company. He answered that it
was made up of eight commission
houses, but no growers. Judge
George F. Gober of Marietta,
next inquired as to the amount of
paid up capital stock the com
pany had.
Mr. Albrecht replied that it was
$18,000. Thereupon Judge Gobey
produced a copy of the report of
the secretary of state of Ohio, da
ted March, in which the capital
stock of the company was listed
at $5,000. Mr. Albrecht explain
ed that the additional stock had
been subscribed since the report
was issued. John D. Cunning*
him of Cobh county, then stated
that the National Produce Dis
tributing company had hud no ex
perience to speak of in handling
peaohes and that the scheme pro
posed by Mr. Albrecht was not
the same as that employed by the
California growers.
After the discussion had contin
ued along this line for some thirty
minutes and the growers present
were.asked to vote as to whether
or not they would accept the prop
osition, there came a unanimous

on the envelope, the inspectors
went to work. Inspectors It. E.
Barry and It. C. Bannerman were
[assigned to the case. The letter
was addressed in fancy handwrit-
g, as follows:
“Hon. Judge Speer. Postolfice
building, City. Federal Judge.”
An inspector was placed in the
postoflice to scan each pieef of
mail passing through, addressed
m a handwriting like that used in
addressing the “Black Hand”
letter.
Finally his vigilance was re
warded. There came a letter ad
dressed to “Enoch Thomas, 14(1
124th St., New York City, C. F.
Williams.”
The writing was identical with
that on the letter to Judge Speer
Inspector Walter Mayer in New
York was directed by wire to de
liver the letter in person and find
from whom it came.
The letter bore the signature of
Henry Perry, a negro elovater boy
in the Germania building here,
and he was immediately arrested.
Although Perry says he is inno

confident Hiat he wrote the letter
to Judge Speer.
