CUTTING DOWN THE 1
PEACH ORCHARDS
i 1
Americus, July 29.—While the}
sale of the peach crop, lac'aliy,;
this season was disappointing to
some orchardmen in the Ameri
cus territory, it does not mean
the entire abandonment of the
peach business and destruction of
the orchards here, although
many fine trees will be cut down
and perhaps less attention given
hereafter to fruit shipping. This
is particularly true as to the
Whittle orchard of $200,000 trees.
one of the largest in the world.
J. D. Whittle, the owner, de
clares his intention of cutting
dewn the entire orchard and
planting the 600 or 700 acres of
fine land to corn, oats and cotton
next year. From seventy-three
carloads of peaches shipped north
this season he realized, net, about
$7,000, which he does not consid
er adequate returns upon the in
vestment when it is considered
that the peach crop is a very un
certain one, probably two good
crops in five years, upon the av
erage.
Other orchardmen here report
exceedingly poor net returns up
on carload shipments, one realiz
ing but 15 cents per crate for his
finest fruit. One large orchard
here of 100,000 trees is reported to
have made from $12,000 to $15,-
000 this season.
The success of this orchard——]
the Raymond—is due to the fact
that the earliest choice peaches
were rushed to market long be
fore there was .a glut of fruit,
thereby obtaining top prices.
This orchard also made
some shipments of peaches to
Cuba and with very satisfactory
results. it is said.
One serious difficulty confront
ing growers here is that 50 to 60
per cent. of the trées are Elber
bas, which ripen the last of July. ‘
A late peach, it is put upon the
market at a time when
there is a flood of peaches
from every section of the
froit belt. It is the experience
of growers here, as fully demon
strated in the results of the Kay
_mond and Carolina orchards, that
the earlier varieties only can be
shipped profitably—the Carmens
and Hilly Belles, which ripen
June 10 to 20. * : |
~ There are in the Americus ter
yitory, within six miles of town,
500.000 bearing trees, and even’
should the Whittle orchard be
cut down there will still remain’
several hondsome orchards.
. Two orchardmen who have
about 5,000 each, will install
canning plants next season and
utilize their crops in the man
ner, putting up in tins only the
choicest high grade fruit. One
of these, L. M. Hansford, put up
2,000 cans recently and is pleased
with the experiment.
The local orohards supplied
three canning plants here this
season, the combirned output of
which were more than 1,000,000
cans of excellent peaches which
are being shipped over the coun
try generally. The canning peo
ple are well pleased with the
result of their season’s work.
What Was the Meaning l
Of This Admission 7
Atlanta, July 29.—What was
the meaning of Hon. Hooper Al
exander’s admission that he
didn’t believe the Tippins bill
would pass over the governor’s
veto? That is the question agi
tating members of the legislature
lat the capital this morning. Was
it simply a case of extraordinary
frankness, or was it a shrewd
political move? Was it an effort
of Mr. Alexander to make cer
tain that the whole blame, if
blame attaches, for the defeat of
the measure, shall rest on the
governor’s shoulders? Is Mr.
Alexander counting on the senti
ment said to be strong in the ru
ral counties in favor of the Tip
pins bill; with . the view of put
ting himself forward later asthe
Ihgical oppé,ent of a Joe Brown
candidate for * governor? All
these questions are being asked,
but nobody seems to know the
answer.

Burwell Would i

Atlanta, Ga., July 29.—The an
‘nouncement of W. H. Burwell, of
‘Hancock, for the speakership of
the Georgia house. has occasion
ed no surprise. He has for some
time been considered by many as
the natural successor to John N.
Holder. Mr. Burwell has served
a:tively for years in both house
and senate, and service on various
important committees has given
him a thorough knowledge of the
procedure and machinery of the
legislature. He has already es
tablished his position as a leader

Smoking in Church
Atlanta, July 29.-—Believing
that the male mind is more sus
ceptible to gocd influences when
surrounded by a gentle haze of
tobacco smoke, the Rev. W. W.
Memminger has decided to per
mit smoking in the Parish House
of All Saints’ Church when he
preaches to men.
For the first timein the history
of Atlanta, and probably in Geor
gia, the confirmed smoker can
now enjoy his after.dinner cigar
|and hear a sermon at the same
time. Anybody who prefers to
smoke a pipe can bring his pipe
along and smoke in peace. The
lcigars will be furnished.

Tippins Measure |
Returns to House]
_— |
Atlanta, July 25.—The rapid-fire‘
astion of the senate yesterday inl
‘putting through the Tippins bill was'
!the absorbing topic in the capital}
l gossip yesterday.
Since the bill cannot be returned!
to the house, where it originated,
until today, it is figured that it can
not reach the governor before Fri-
F riday at earliest, and probably not
before Saturday.
The governor then has five days,
Sundays -excepted, in which to act
on the bill and return it to the house.
If he wishes, therefore, he need not
finally act upon it before August 1,
or 2, depending on whe her the bill
gets to him Friday or Saturday.
Already the governor has been
urged by friends of the bill on one
hand to approve it, and by its oppo
nents to veto it. As to what he will
do he has given no sign.
Nevertheless, the impression seems
to have gone abroad that he will ve
to it, and the house will not vote to
override the veto, which wouid mean
the defeat of the bill. :
It requires 123 votes in the house
or a two-thirds majority of all the
members, to override the governor’s
veto.
The bill received 129 votes in that
body when it passed, but its oppo
nents claim that a sufficient num-,
‘[ber of members who voted for the
‘bill have stated that they would not
votejto override the governor's ad
verse action, in the even the should
NEtgae. B
To the Citizens of Georgia
As vou no doubt know, I am at
preseut holding the pesition f
Assistant to the Commissioner of
Agricalture and feel in honor
bound to remain at my post of
duty. Therefore, it will be im
possibie for me to see all the regis
tered voters of the State during
my short vacation this summer,
and for that reason I am calling
upon my friends throughout the
State to lend me a helping hand
in my tace for Commissioner of
Agriculture.
In entering the race, Idid so re
lying wholly upon the judgment
of the people. I am proud that we
have reached the time 1 Georgia
when the individual merit of the
candidate has become the criterion
by which he is to be judged when
every voter does his own thinking
and votes bis honest convictions.
Being & practicil farmer and
knowing that every interestof our
oreat Stute is dependent upon her
agricultural resources and having
devoted some of the best years of
my life to the upbuilding of the
agricultaral interest, I do not
hesitate to ask the support of my
fellow citizens.
With: best wishes, I am,
Very truly yours,
J. J. Brown.
