Wo quote from a letter received Iron
tfr. A U. Kitchen, which cannot hel;
•nt be of interest to all fruit grower
to the State:
"U was the unanimous opinion o’
the fruit grower* attending the meet
tog at Macon that some form of cr
gknlxatfon of local companies Is ncc
•ssary for the intelligent marketing
j.\ «r our crop, and this Idea that I sug
. geat has (Or its object, when wo are
Fully organised over the State, the eav

and to give to the local managers di

that we will avoid glutting the vari
ous markets.
“Our' growers here hava taken hold
of this organization with enthuzlasm
and at our first meeting, although
many of the growers were unavald-
ably detained from meeting with uz.
40 per cent, of the stock was sub
scribed and the balance will be sub
scribed during the coming week. Oui
headquarters will be Baldwin, Gn.
“The question of freight rates, re
frigeration rates and railroad aervlc*
•In genera] Is one that all grower* real
ize, t he of the utmost Importance,
add experience has taught the grow-
ere at Grand Junction, Colorado and
throughout California, Oregon and
Washington,''that it was absolutely
necessary for them to organise their
business In such a way that their In-
terests could ’be handled by one in
dividual who could treat with the
railroads from a more or less Inde
pendent position. The railroad agents
would much prefer, If concessions are
to be made, to feel that they have only
one man to make deals with and they
are much more apt to make conces
sions than If each Individual grower
should make requests. By our com*
blnlng, pressure could be brought to
bear by diverting a large, or small,
percentage of the business to certain
road* and as In .the case of nil large
combinations relief could be had.
The Piedmont Fruit Company
Baldwin, Ga., Intends to hire a mans,
ger whose duty It will be to look ot
ter the shipping of all fruit, and by In.
teUIgent direction cause this fruit toga
to places where it will not come In
contact with a glutted market, and to
place* where It will .be sure to bring
the best market price.
In past years many Individual fruit
growers have -sustained heavy losses
by not being able to place their prod-
uct Id the proper market. Ry the or-
ganlzstlon of a Fruit Company ft I*
thought that the tonlt can be baud!
to better advantage. It is hoped that
fruit growers all ovef Georgia will coo-
alder this matter carefully, as tha time
le coming when our fruit will bare to
be handled In a more systematic man
ner In order to reap to* greatest
■profit.
Mr. A it. Kitchens, at Baldwin, Ga.,
will attend any local meeting and aid
In to* proper organisation of same.

that hit ptetence In the store wa
known, took np a gun belonging to Hr.
Beaslay, and fired two ahota ont of the.
back door, following tola performance
by his own rapid exit. Mr. Feltham
fired three shot* [with a pistol at 'tha
flying burglar, but failed to bit him.
About 10 yds: from th* store,' he fell
over n wire fence, dropping the gnu and
a watch, whieh he had jut stoleu.
He left his own shoes In th* store, and
while running rapidly pest Prof. W. B.

Ur. 8. B. Tuner died late [Saturday
afternoon at the|UcIntosh Sanitarium

the Coast Line between Jacksonville
and Montgomery. He bad been making
his headquarters at Thomatrill* for only
about n week when he wu taken tick

the young man's life.
Mr. Turner's home was in Emanuel
county and until the antral of hie broth
er, Ur. A. B. Turner of Ocllb, jester-
day, he wu attended by ,no {relatives.
Two lives were united on the Mitchell

nway the bride, A. W. Ball was best
man. The participant* were Skellie
Butler and Ruby Sanders, a "isdy and
ge'm'man” of color. Both work on the
plantation of Mr. M. B. Jose* near
town. The witnesses were the guest*
of the hotel who liung on the word* of
the ceremony with breathless interest.
Not until the bride had been saluted
with a mounding smack did they
breathe freely. Aa an aftermath came
the taking of kodak pictures by inter
ested guests and the newly manufactur
ed hosband and wife stood in the.faright
sunlight with clasped hands while sums
of their admiring kinfolks adjured them
"For Gowd’a sake don't smile.”
A Card-

In a recent issue you quote a juror in
the Barrow case as saying that Mrs. H.
A Patterson testified' that Barrow “did
the shooting with a 83 calibre pistol.”
This is a mistake as Mi*. Patterson in
answer toj Attorney Titos' question.
What did he shoot with?" replied "a
pistol." She wu more than 100 yard*
•way and could not have distinguished
the calibre of the pistol.
Yours very truly,

FOR HOLDING NEGRO
Mr. W. M. Quinn of Whigham was
bound over in United States court Sat
urday under $1000 bond for peonage.
It seems that 3n* Reid, a negro boy,

from a home in Whigham some time
ago. Part of the stolen property was
recovered. The parties from whom
they were stolen offered not to prose,
cute thu cess if they could recover the
worth of the unreturned goods. Mr.
Quinn offered to pay this amount and
ths coats in the case if the negro would
work for him a year. *
C. S. marshal Godwin saya tost the
