THE NEWS, EotabUahed 1871.
WILL BEGIN NEXT WEEK, TEN
DATS EARLIER THAN USUAL
First Carload of Mayflowers
Bound .for Markets in East
Is Expected to Pass Through
Macon Wednesday — Yield
Now Estimated at 6,5000
Carloads.
MACON, GA., April 30.—The first
car of peaches of the 1921 season will
pass through Macon Wednesday, it
was announced Friday by W. E.
Stewart, assistant general passenger
agent of the Central of Georgia Rail- f
'
way. This car will originate from the
vicinity of Montezuma.
The movement of the peach crop
begins ten days earlier than usual as
around May 10 is the usual time of
arrival of the first variety. From this
time on peach shipnfents will continue
•until August, when the last variety
leaves for the northern markets.
Following the moving of the first
car several more are expected to be
sent in close order. It has been pre¬ .
dicted that six cars will leave Georgia
next week. -
In the second week of May 50 cars
will be shipped through the Potomac
, yards to New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and the other northern mar¬
kets.
A few days will lapse following the
second week in which only a few cars
will pass through Macon to be sold
out of the State. After this, except
at intervals, when the various varie¬
ties are maturing, solid train loads
will pass through the yards consigned
not only to the northern and eastern
markets, but the west, where many
cars are sold every, year.
The varieties will ripen in this <f>
der: Mayflower, Red Bird, Uneeda,
Carmen, -HiUey Belle, Georgia Belle
and Elbertas.
. The first on the list, the Mayflow¬
er, is expected to produce the first
fifty cars. The second, the Red Bird,
is predicted to be a light crop. The
Uneeda are scheduled to bring the
heaviest yield of this variety in sev¬
eral years. TJjie exact number of cars
has not been estimated by the rail¬
road officials. The yield of other
peaches which are expected to draw
the best prices will be exceedingly
large, running close to 6,500 cars.
All the railroad Officials have ex¬
pressed themselves as ready to move
the crop. The Atlantic Ice A Coal
Company has put the growers on no¬
tice that there will be no difficulty
in providing an ample ice supply. All
the other factors concerned in the
transportation of the peaches have
signified their readiness.

BARNESVILLE AGGIES
SWAMP GRIFFIN HIGH
In a very one sided game the
BaraesviHe A. & M. nine defeated the
Griffin park High Friday, school the team final at South-_ be-”
side spere
ing 15 to 1. The visitors played good
ball throughout, filedlng the ball in
errorless fashion, and knocking the
horsehide to all corners of the field.
Griffin twlrler would doubtless have
held the visitors to a closer score.
The suport given the Griffin’ pitch¬
er was one factor which contributed
to the decisive defeat of the local
boys. With any sort of backing, the
Griffin twirler would doubtless held
to a closer score. ,
