A. and B. J. Methvin are shipping Hiley’s from their big peach farm near Americus today and will continue to ship for sev eral days-—that is, they are ship ping a part of their crop. Possibly one-third of the peach crop from this archards iebing fed to hogs or dumped into the creeks. This is another example of the wastage from Sumter peach orch ards; another instance that crys aloud for some one with vision and courage to devise a plan for using the culls and ripe fruit from Sum tor’s orchards. I inspected tree after tree this morning, all ladened to the break ing point with the most beautiful fruit nature ever produced; fruit with a flavor seldom equaled, and a color the most expert painter could not reproduce on cnavas. And the choicest is being cast to swine. On this one orchard there are 2,- 000 Hiley trees bearing, with 5,000 more trees of the same variety which soon will be bearing. In two weeks Mr. Methvin will be shipping from Elberta orchards, where 3,500 now are bearing, with 3,500 more to begin bearing next year. x *. Away to turn un-marketable peaches into gold should be found. In many instances this represents the difference between a loss on the investment and a profit. Sumter is destined to be one of the greatest of the peach-produc ing counties of the nation. The success of this industry means much to every one in the county. Tire prosperity of one adds to the prosperity of all. California long ago found away out. There was a period in her history when her producers shipped what they could and destroyed the balance. California’s progrss and material welfare was made possible by saving home culls from her va rious industries. Sumter can and riiould do like wise. Our peach men should in vestigate and profit iby the exam ple of others. WATERMELON MOVEMENT STILL CONTINUES HEAVY THOMASVILLE, July 12.

The total expended in dollars ami cents to stage the Democratic con test, exclusive of delegates* ex penses, according to the New York Convention Committee, was some what in excess of SBOO,OOO. This committoe hud arranged its expenditures on the basis of a con vention not exceeding two weeks in duration. When the deadlock car ried the sessions over into the third week, the local committee passed the further financing of the show over to the (Democratic National Committee. - As this committee had a balance of only about SIOO,OOO, it imme diately begaun to prune expenses and to put on pressure to x bring about a nomination. x Most of the ushers were discharg ed, the lighting diminished and corners cut generally in an -effort to sav*i perihiess for the later ex penses of the campaign.

As a lawyer, Davis carries international as well- as'nationalLecognition, hav ing been made, dyring his term as ambassador to the Court of St. James, an hdnort/ry bencher of the Middle Templ<f. | Much has been said recently about Davis’ ertiployment as counsel for Wall interests, including J. P. Morgan & Co. This inevitably will be made o?ie of the points of] opj i stion during the campaign. As a balance jto this, emphasis is placi d by Davis’ backers on ; the fact that he onde was attorney, with out fee or retainer, for Eugene Debs and ‘Mother” Jones. This was in tl\e days when Davis, a young lawyer without clients, had just hung out his shingle at Claiksburg, W. ’Va. Debs and ‘Mother” Jones came t<? (town to take a hand in a campaign jto organize mine workers tfiere jabouts. West Virginia mjpe own ers then as now, didn’t want their workers organized, anif also con trolled, then as imw, the local au thorities. So Debs afid “Mother” Jones were on some technical charge and put behind the bars. Younj/ Davis saw a chance to try out s/ime of his newly acquired le al technique. His friends, however insist that what moved him was a Sense of injustice in the strong arm methods employed by the mine owners. A jyway, he went over to the jail volunteered his services to the un ion workers and shortly had them fret again. That story, doubtless, will be told with much emphlsis in union circles during the carqpaign. — L DREAD PLAGUE FOUND x IN .THREE COUNTRIES SbFIA, Bulgaria, July 12.

The seven Greeks, which it is said were smuggled from Cuba in. to Florida, landing at Keaton's beach, south of Ferry, reached Quitman Tuesday afternoon late, coming in a car which was driven through by another Greek, who de clares he knows nothing about his fellow countrymen except that they asked him to drive them to Quit man from Perry. The men were arrested at Quit man by Policeman Murphy, who. saw them near the Coast Line sta-| tion there and the number of the I party caused him to become sus-J picious. He telephoned Sheriff Clanton and the sheriff asked him to arrest the double quartet. Sheriff Clanton then wired Jack sonville that eight Greeks were un der arrest here and he immediately received a telephone message am! also a telegram asking him to hold the eight men until an immigra tion officer could reach Quitman from Jacksonville. The Greeks were then placed in jail pending the arrival of the Jacksonville offi cers.
