STATE RACES
STILL KEEP
VERY QUIET
i VIGOR PUT IN THEM YET
Plenty of Men Want to Be
Commissioners
Atlanta, June 12.—The contest over
Georgia governorship is maintain
,lS ( j U iet a phase as any has pre
sented in the last ten years. The
mdidates are working, but neither of
,'u ni appears to be stirring things up.
This ma y be partially accounted for
r, v 'the fact that the presidential fight
I*', Ge orgia, together With the trim
mings which Watson put upon it,
lather took the edge off of the state
situation.
But so far as can be learned the
mdidates themselves prefer this sort
0l a contest to the “froth-whipping”
tights which Georgia has gone through
with in the last six or eight years. Joe
Hill Hall of Bibb is doing little or
nothing, or if he is, the newspapers
fail to record it, while President John
j\l Slaton of the Senate is confining
himself to educational speeches, cor
respondence and the like and so far
has not made a single political ad
dress.
The contest for commissioner of ag
riculture has assumed very much the
same phase as that for governor. The
only candidate that is doing any active j
work, so far as reports disclose, is
Hon. J. L). Price of Oconee. Mr. Price l
is traveling over the state by train, I
Iby automobile and by buggy and is :
I apparently seeking to reach every pos-
I cible section of it before the state pri-
I tnar.v. '
All that Hon. A. 0. Blalock of Fay- >
■vtte has done so far is to announce •
I:,is lineup with Representative E. Ca- '
Ibaniss of Oglethorpe, former president
■of the Georgia Farmers’ Union, whom (
■be proposes to make his assistant, if (
■elected. If Mr. Blalock has done any
■ Traveling or made use of the mails to '
■ any extent it has not been disclosed.
Xeither has Hon. J. J. Brown of >
■Uliert gotten about much. Mr. Brown 1
■is the present assistant in the agricul- 1
■tural department and he is relying 1
■iargely upon the support of Thomas E. 1
■ Watson, who is his close personal and <
■political friend. 1
■ Candidates for railroad commission- 1
B-r are becoming so numerous that it j '
His impossible to recollect them. There j <

tain and operate a system for the man
ufacture and distribution of electrical

and all of the streets and alleys, av
enues, sidewalks and public places

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS

FRUIT MENUS.
A reader asks whether It Is
better to eat one fruit or sev
eral at a meal. In the menus
recently given, several were
suggested for each meal, not be
cause it is thought best but in
deference to the custom of eat
ing several articles at the same
meal. The fruits are divided
into acid, like the lemon; sub
acid, like the peach, and sugar
fruits, like the fig. All these
harmonize passably, yet it
would be better to keep them
classified. Prunes, dates and
figs are slower of digestion than
apples, peaches and oranges.
The former class are appropri
ate in the evening, but acid
fruit is best in the morning, as
suggested in the saying, result
ing from the experience of peo
ple who were more observant
than we in regard to the ordi
nary effects of diet. “An apple
in the morning is golden, at
noon silvern and in the evening
leaden.” In this connection, it
should be noted that the banana
is not a fruit.

pound, and I did. Today lam well and

ewe my health to Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and advise my
friends who are afflicted with any female
complaint to try it.” Mrs. Orville

6,000 CARLOADS
PEACHES IS THE
CROraiMATE
Fruit Brings $2.50 to $3.50
Crate in the East
Atlanta, Ga., June 12.—The Fruit
Growers’ Express estimates that 7,000
carloads of ppaches, the largest crop
in the history of the state, will he
shipped from Georgia this year. The j
Georgia Fruit Exchange thinks the!
crop will be no more than 6,000 car
loads, and that while it will be one
of the most bounteous the orchards
of the state have ever borne, it will
find a ready and profitable market.
PAGE THREE
Early varieties are being shipped
cast at the rate of fifteen to eighteen
cars a day. But the bulk of the crop
will not begin to move until June 26
or 27. At that time Hiley Belles and
■ Georgia Belles, the most prolific va
rieties of peaches, will ripen and be
ready for shipment.
In the east Georgia peaches are sell
ing at $2.50 to $3.50 a crate.
