Kentucky Quality
Eliminates Distance
LTERE is our contention briefly illustrated. Say
you order four quarts which are tb last, let us
say, one month. In ordering an inferior article
nearer home you possibly save one day, but how
about the other 29 days of the month? Does hot
your loss in quality, which lasts 29 days, offset many
times the single day you may gain in time?

Georgia’s biggest peach crop will
soon be a thing ot the past, it being
estimated that In ten days the ship

In making this the banner year,
Sumter county has done a good part.
This Is the first year that Americus
has cut much figure as a peach grow
ing center, but this territory landed
strong.
The statistics of the Central, show
ing the peach movement up to mid
night of July 13, with the statistics
for 1907, are here given:.
To July 14, 1907 400 cars
To July 14, 1908 3,814 cars

"Woolley's Best" is as good as can be made and full strength, Just
ns it comes from the distillery and can't be beat.
Appearing ten days ahead of time
and closing fifteen days ahead of
time, the peach crop of 1908 has
proven a banner one. Splendid
weather, no late frosts and all round
good conditions influenced those in
touch with the fruit industry to pre
dict an unusual season, but none
predicted a season anything like
that enjoyed.
The figures given out by the Cen
tral (Jo not represent the entire crop
of the state, but news from other
railroads which handle the fruit
movement show the same good year.
The Central is the largest fruit
handling railroad in the state.'
not only handles over half of the
canteloupes and watermelon crops
but handles about two-thirds of the
peach crop. Its lines run through
the heart of fruit districts.
Canneries Absorb Part
Altogether the railroads of Georgia
have handled nearly 7,000 carloads
of peaches, but even this does not
represent the entire output. All over
the state fruit caqnerles have been
erected, and it is considered at least
one-fifth of the crop has gone into
the canneries.
Americus has been greatly helped
by its new cannery.
Georgians have Just realized the
possibilities of the canning industry
and more attention has l)een paid to
it than ever before. The entrance
of Georgians Into the canning field
was an auspicious one. The big fruit
crops left a wide field for the can
neries and all of the concerns h
come out ahead.

Satisfactory progress is being
made In the building of the new driv
ing park and half mile track of tho
Americus driving club, and the park
will be finished in ample time
permit of some good stunts in
speeding in the fall. Quite recently
several horse-owners have come
here to look at the track, and even
In its incomplete state they pron
ounce it a good one and calculated to
he made one of the best in the state.
The trnck wll also be used as an
automobile speedway, and not a few
good races of that nature will he ar
ranged during the fall season. The
new driving park Is wlthiu the city
limits and easily of access and some
good sport will he had there within
a few weeks now.' Later in the year,
or early spring, the club proposes
having an exhibition of well bred
colts and to offer prizes for the best
youngsters. Many fine colts are
bred in Sumter. one progressive
farmer owning twenty or more, while
others here own fine specimens of
diminutive horseflesh.
At the regular meeting of the Board
of Trad? held Tuesday night, it was
decided to ask the Legislature to am
end the law which provides that
the county appraisers sit only during
the session of the grand Jury. The
Board will ask Sumter's represents'
ttves to propose an amendment to the
law which shall provide that the ap
praisers continue in session until the
work is finished.
President Alien told of hiB service
on this board at one time, and how
the B's were not Completed as they
should be done before the Grand
Jury was about to adjourn. He also
stated that in one Georgia city two
men proposed to ferret out all the
property liable for taxation, which
was not being assessed, provided they
were allowed one year's taxes as a
reward. Several thousand dollars
were cleared by the scheme.
It was the sentiment of the Board
of Trade that with all property re
turned, that the tax.rate would be
lowered for everybody. With the
amendment suggested, the members
who expressed themselves were of the
opinion that the present amount of
property returned would be greatly
Increased. i
