MAGID NAMED OFFICER IN
MISSISSIPPI APPLE ASSN.
Georgia on Official Map of Big
Organization - Apple Indus
try Recognized
At the recent annual meeting of the
Mississippi Valley Apple Growers’ as
sociation held in Quincy. Illinois.
Georgia was ofllcially placed on the
apple map of the United States. It is
a recognition of the status of the state
as an apple producing region that will
be noted with pleasure by every citl
xen of Georgia whether he is an apple
grower or not.
Under the plan of organization of the
association each state that has assumed
any importance in the apple industry is
accredited a vice-president who is in
charge of the work of the organisation
in h'is state, and the decision of the
association to extend its work into
Georgia is shown what the horticul
turists outside of the state think of
the Georgia aople. •
Louis B. Magid president of the Ap
palachian apple orchards, was chosen
as the Georgia vice-president of the
association.
This action which was entirely unso
licited and unexpected by Mr. Magid
proves that the unequalled natural con
ditions in north Georgia and the un
surpassed quality of the Georgia apple
have been given close study by scien
tific apple growers. It shows that a
group of people outside the state have
been paying more attention to one of
our richest assets than many of our
own citizens, and proves what the Jour
nal has always maintained that the ap
ple region of North Georgia is without
a peer.
Owe acre of apple trees is worth four
or five acres of cotton, tn productive
power, and it requires less care and
causes less worry. One ten acre orch
aro in Northeast Georgia, not over four
miles from Tallulah Falls, is valued by
the owner at 130.00000. and it pays a
nice dividend on that valuation. No
farm land will ever reach that figure.
The advent of the Association into
Georgia will stimulate the industry to
a wonderful extent. It Is extended to
effect a state organization. James
Handly, secretary-treasurer of the pres
ent organization, will visit Georgia
this fall to assist in the organization.
Mr. Magid. whose office is In the Cand
ler building, in Atlanta, is desirous
of getting in touch with every apple
grower in the state at the earliest pos
sible moment, and states that he wilt
he pleased to hear from every interest
ed person.

CORNELIA DISTRICT
HAS BIG PEACH CROP
Elberta Season Closes After
Fine Harvest in Haber
sham
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CORNELIA, Ga.. August 10.—This
week closes the Elberta season for
‘1912.
This great fruit which furnishes the
cash paying crop of this section is
I now closing with more peaches for
i warded from the seven railroad sta
j tions in th e Cornelia district than ever
, before. These comparatively few acres
i with their half million peach trees and
I quarter million bearing apple and
cherry trees give the laboring m?n
more cash for this work than all the
balance of the county.
The strike on the Pennsylvania rail-
I road in New York caused some loss,
I But as soon as that was straightened
out there came a steady rising In
price and Cornelia Elbertas are now
I selling for $2 per crate and upwards
i in eastern markets.
The consencus of opinion is that
large numbers of Elbertas and ap
ples will be planted and all early
; peaches taken out this fall.
Hundreds of summer visitors are
seeking places on these lovely hilltop
I locations to build summer or perrna-
I nent homes. From these hills views
1 one hundred miles away ' are shown
jin all the grandeur and beauty of a
| Switzerland. Kennesaw and Stone
mountains — one hundred miles
| away, are shown in bold relief with
the lovely Chattahoochee and Nacoo-
I chee valleys lying just below. This
i ridge is the great divide where the
| water in one wagon track flows to the
Atlantic ocean whilst from the oth-»r
side it flows into the Gulf of Mexico.
This is one of the healthiest coun
i ties in the United States, and can
! grow any kind of fruit except citrus.
ISo the peach grower of Habersham
' county is how turning his attention to
home-making.
Cornelia Is growing fast, so fast in
. fact, that she is about to burst her
I bounds and extend her best residential
section out into the orchards.

150,000 to Save
A Drowning Man
Elsie Herder Dives *35 Feet
Into River, After Disrobing,
and Saves Pfeister
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CHICAGO. August 10.—The heroic
rescue of an exhausted swimmer by
a young woman was witnessed by a
large number of the crowd of 150,000
persons who watched the two and one
half mile race this evening. The race
was won by W. If. R. Vosburgh, of
Oakpark, a Chicago suburb, represent
ing the University of Illinois in 63 1-2
minutes.
The rescue was dramatically staged
at the Rush street bridge, about three
quarters of a mile from the start.
M. E. Pfeister, of Chicago, unattached,
cried for help as he neared the bridge.
SAVED BY A GIRL.
Miss Elsie Herder, of 4032 Cham
plain avenue, Chicago, threw off her
jacket, jumped out of her outer skirt
kicking off her shoes with the same
movement, leaped to the bridge and
dived thirty-five feet into the water.
Catching the exhausted swimmer, she
held his head above the surface of the
water until the police motor boat
reached him and he was dragged
aboard. •
HEROINE IS KISSED.
Safely landed on the shore, Pfeister
had regained enough strength to give
the young woman a grateful and re
sounding kiss upon the cheek.
“You saved my life," he said and
Miss Herder blushed.
UPSON CROPS WILL -
. HAVE POOR YIELD
(Special DispatclUto The Journal.)
THOMASTON, Ga., Aug. 10.—The
heavy rains of the past two days have
really benefited the farmers of this
county but little. The corn crop is
practically made, and while the early
spring forecasted a large yield, the out
look at present is far from good.
There are many small patches above
the average, but the general yield will
not be over 70 per cent.
As to cotton, the stalk is very large,
but the fruit is not on it, and it would
be a high estimate to say that the
county will come within 5,000 bales of
last year’s output, which was about
15,000. The gray larfds are in better
condition than the red clay, though the
heavy rains have heavily washed the
latter. The roads, which the convicts
have been recently working, are almost
impassable, so badly are they washed
to pieces.
While the farmers of this county
adopted the “Rock Hill plan,” and cut
their acreage, they are going to make
far less than that for which they have
planted. The army worm has not dam
aged this county’s corn or cotton to
amount to anything, and but for this
fact the farmers would be blue.

Mitchell Taxes Gain
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ALBANY, Ga., Aug. 9—Claiming that
her taxpayers have been doing more than
their share, in proportion to the rate at
which other counties of this section are
returning their holdings, Mitchell county
has made a substantial reduction In
her tax returns of $670,000.
This decrease is due, not to the lack of
progress in Mitchell, which really is de

last fall recommended that the tax re
ceiver cut one-fourth from the values
given In the previous year.

TAFT WILL SIGN SENATE
PANAMA CANAL BILL
(By Aaaociated Brets.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—President
Taft told callers today that he expected
to sign the senate’s Panama canal bill
which prescribes the u»e of the water
way to railroad-owned ships, and pro
vides free tolls for American vessels.
Experts in congress say the senate has
authorized a highly important extension
of the power of the interstate commerce
commission in adopting the Bourne
amendment to the canal bill.
This provision would authorize the
commission to divorce competing railroad
and steamship lines, whenever they oper
ate to public detriment, and would ex
tend powers of regulation over water
routes.
Little difficulty will be experienced in
recohciling the differences between the
senate and house on the bill.

"BLUE Sir BILL IS
PASSED 8( THE SENATE
Senator Harris’ Measure Is;
Adopted by Substitute by
Vote of 33 to 4
Senator Harris’ “blue sky” bill to|
regulate companies dealing in securities
was passed by substitute in the senate
Friday morning by a vote of 33 to 4.
The bill that was passed differs from
the original bill in that it authorizes the
comptroller general instead of the secre
tary of state to investigate and license
such companies.
The purpose of the bill is to wipe out
the stock and bond companies that are
dealing in worthless securities. It au
thorizes the comptroller general to make
a careful examination of each new com
pany and to refuse a license for any
tiiat he deems illegitimate.
His Hearing Was
Restored
Veteran Musician Could Not
Hear His Beloved Cornet
Tells How Deafness Was
Overcome
Below is a picture of Henry Farrar, a
veteran who is a natural born musician,
and whose cornet has helped his ca
reer. With the approach of old age and.
the Infliction of various disorders, hei
gradually became more and more deaf
until he could not hear his own cornet 1
which he had been accustomed to play
on variofis occasions throughout the|
year. He also became harassed with
those head noises which so often ac
company the advancement of deafness.
This infirmity distressed Mr. Farrar
greatly. He is a man of activity despite
his age—in fact, he looks much younge*
now than the 70 years that ha la
‘Va-/
The loss of his hearing was a sad,
misfortune and the future looked very
dark. Os course, Mr. Farrar had tried| ,
one thing after another; he had fol
lowed medical advice, had consulted!
specialists and had adopted various de
vices and remedies, (spending much!
money) but all to no avail. He felt that
he was doomed to end his life In thatj
melancholic stillness which is dreaded'
by all who are inclined toward deafness.
ABX.B TO HEAB FESFBCTX.T.
Mr. Farrar has always been popular,,
and his friends were exceedingly sym
pathetic, but even these kind sentiment*
did not appease his dejection. One day.
however, he happened to learn of a sim
ple and harmless home self-treatment
method, which he decided to try. He
did not have much hope, because he had
been disappointed in his previous!
attempts. Yet in this case, to his sur
prise and joy. he found that his hearing
began% to improve almost immediately,'
and it continued until he became so
well that he has been able to do jury
duty, listening to the various witnesses
and the court proceedings.
TREE TO DEAF PEOPLE.
Mr. Farrar is so delighted with the
manner in which he was liberated from
the thraldom of deafness and head
noises, as well as the way in which his
health was generally improved, that he
Is giving information about this wonder
ful treatment to all who write him and
will cheerfully send full particulars of
how his own hearing was restored, also
telling how others may get the same
treatment. It is only necessary td
write to Mr. Henry A. Farrar, 113-D.
Washington street, Hanover. Mass., en
closing a stamped envelope for reply.
Persons of all ages—men, women and
children—have followed the information
given by Mr. Farrar, and cures of deaf
ness have been reported after all else
has failed.
