THE PEACH INDUSTRY,
The News is glad to note the
increasing interest in the immedi
ate vicinity of Carterstille an the
growing of peaches. If those that
seem interested will carry out
their plans a great many
trees will be planted out the com
ing fall and winter.
Those who have planted good
sized orchards are just now much
pleased with the prospects for
marketing the coming crop of El
bertas most profitably. The Car
tersville territory has been rather
backward in the business but be
coming impressed with the good
fortune of the growers in the upper
portion of this and nearby coun-
ties they are spurred up to go into
the business quite heavily.
The fear of inability of market
ing the fruit and the lack of ex
perience have deterred them in the
past, but these are being gradually
overcome The experience with a
limited number of trees have
given them some ideas and
the fact that buyers for the fruit
are matching this territory eagerly
gives them confidence in their
ability to dispose of the fruit when
grown. A New York man spent
several days around here last week,
soliciting shipments. At Adairs
ville for the past several sea
son buyers have been on hand to
purchase all fruit offered for sale.
This will be case in Cartersville as
soon as the volume of business
warrants it. The more trees
planted the bigger the market and
more cash buyers will be in evi
dence.
It is hoped that the industry
will grow and that the fear that
the business will be overdone will
not deter any. It is a market that
is practically in its infancy, so
large growers say, and the field
for enlargement is simply wonder
ful.
MR. BECKER’S LETTER.
Mr. Norbert Becker, president
of the Cartersville Light and
Power company, has issued a cir
cular letter to the people of Car
tersville that contains some state
ments that should not go unrefut
ed. The purpose #>f Mr. Becker’s
circular is to defeat the electric
light bonds tomorrow. In this
circular Mr. Becker says that
“Said company has at all times
faithfully complied with the same;
it has established and maintained
the required number of lampposts
and has furnished the light for
the same until the time the eitv
authoritie made default in the
payment therefor, although, in
order to meet the wishes of your
city council, the company had,
prior thereto, upon their applica
tion greatly reduced the contract
price for the gas consumed.”
Mr. Becker seems to have forgot
ten to state why the city “made
default of payment.” The truth
is, owing to the general complaint
among the citizens and consumers
of the gas furnished by Mr.
Becker’s company, the city at its
own expense made a test of the
quality of the gas. Under the
contract fifty candle power gas
was to be furnished. The test
showed that only fifteen to twenty
candle power was being furnished.
The city had the company super
intendent to join with it in a fair
test and the result showed the
same candle power. Mr. Becker’s
attention was called to this and he
agreed to increase the candle
power. Two months, so we are in
formed by a prominent member of
couocih, passed and no improve
ment, though the bills for fifty can
dle power were paid promptly.
When the payment for the third
month was demanded the city
council, which had been testing the
gas and finding that only 15 to 20
candle power had been furnished
cut the bill down accordingly.
The city had been paying for 50
candle power lights and had been
receiving much less than half.
That is why the bills were not
paid as made out by the gas com
pany. These statements are made
by the councihnen and in fairness
to them they are made public, in
asmuch as the town has been
flooded with the Becker circulars,
in which it is so strongly put that
the people would be doing a mon
strous bad thing in sot allowing
Mr. Becker to supply the town
with 20 candle gas and paying him
a 50 candle price therefor.
As Parkhurst says the southern
people do not love the negro, on
social equality lines and do not
hesitate to say so, while north
ern people feel the same way
hut are not fair enough to say so
above their bregth. To show how
the northern people care for them,
an incident from Muncie, Ind.,
will show where a hundred or
more employees of the Republic
company quit work today because
the company put a colored man to
work in the department where 100
girls are employed packing nuts
and bolts. The girls refused to
work where the colored man was,
and the white men joined the girls.
The entire plant may be closed
down three weeks in advance of
the regular shutdown. If this had
happened in the south, another
“southern outrage” would have
been recorded in box car letters in
every newspaper of that section.
The democrats of South Caroli
na will determine whether Senator
McLaurin is very much bigger
than his party or not. The demo
crats voting in the primary will be
pledged to support the nominees
and the principles of the party.
This will place McLaurin in the
independent column cr drive him
to the republican party.
The Atlanta Journal twelve
page State University centennial
edition was about as perfect a
piece of work, both in class of
matter and handsome present
ation as ever went from a south
ern press. It is greatly appreci
ated, a subject of no end of favor
able criticism.
The crops of Georgia, especially
in the middle and southern parts,
are in a miserable poor condition
according to competent Atlanta
authority. While north Georgia
crops are some better, they are by
no means the best.

Look Here
All you good people who have
assumed the risk of carrying your
money about your person or keep

keep your money in the First Nation

THE WEEKLY NjEWS, CARTERSVILLK, QA
WHITE PRIMARY PLAN.
Before plunging into complete
negro disfranchisement the Ala
bama press asks the constitution
al convention to deal with the
question with caution and wisdom.
The Birmingham Age - Herald
says:
Georgia depends upon white
primaries for the nomination of
candidates, and then upon the
prepayment of all taxes as a suf
frage'condition for their election
by whit men. Under this plan,
says the Savannah News, “the
state is not in much danger from
illiteracy. The plan cost the peo
ple something, but the cost is not
a serious burden. It is certainly
preferable to the loss of represen
tation in congress and the elect>
ral college.”
The Georgia politicians are
shrewd and far-sighted. They long
have been. The danger thev see
ahead is not by any means imag
inary. Whenever the republican
party is ready for the issue it will
come, and representation will be
based upon votes instead of popu
lation. Whether this will be done
by decisions in the supreme court
or by congsess cannot be foreseen.
Probably a decision by the court
which consists of six republicans
and three democrats will be utiliz
ed as a basis for action by con-
gress. The man who holds that
the republicans will not do this
very thing either does not under
stand the courage of that party, or
else he is willing to go ahead
blindly.
Now why should Alabama be
thrown into such a political tangle
to come out of it shorn of power
in congress and in the electoral
college, while Georgia and Ten
nessee and Texas and Arkansas
are tranquil and powerful? There
is but one reason —thirteen black
belt counties are over-nervous,
and are demanding at the hands
of the suffrage committee suffrage
limitations that invite trouble —
that make trouble from Washing
ton possible, even probable. Neith
er the “grandfather” nor the “un
derstanding” clauses stand ap
proved by the United States su
preme court. The latter has been
considered incidentally; the for
mer has not been considered in
that court at all. Both are open
to attack there. Why put our
selves once more at the mercy of
the republican party ?
The only answer is, the black
belt demands more than a poll tax
provision and white primaries.
All experience in Louisiana, Mis
sissippi, Georgia, South Carolina
and TANARUS nnessee goes to show that
the poll tax provision is sufficient
alike to weed out corrupt practices
and give a state a responsible if
not an intelligent electorate. Three
of the five states named have
adopted other clauses only to find
them inoperative. These three
states —Louisiana, Mississippi and
South Carolina —have secured the
benefits of a poll tax provision,
but they have needlessly incurred
the dangers of a political mess
over representation. If Alabama
be wise in this day at Montgomery,
she will join Georgia, Tennessee
and Texas rather than Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina.
So would the three states last
named if they could, but they can
not.

Long years ago a well known
clergyman, being anxious to in
troduce anew series of hymn
books into the church, requested
the exhorter to make an announce
ment to that effect immediately
after the sermon. The exhorter
promised to do so, and, after the
sermon, arose, and desiring to call
the members attention to another
matter before mentioning the
hymn books, said:
“All those who have children
they wish baptized will please
send me their names.” The
clergyman, who was very hard of
hearing, assumed that the notice
in reference to the hymn books
had been given, arose and said:
“And I should say for the ben
efit of those who havn’t any that
they may be obtained at the par
sonage any day from 3 to 4
o'clock; the ordinary little ones at
5 cents each, and the special ones
with red backs 25 cents.”
