THE ADORED ONE.
He is a confirmed bachelor. In fact
hi.s attitude toward women is almost
that of a mysognist. His particular
bete noire is a very new acquaintance
of ills sister. Miss Blank.
He met her in the street the other
day, and seeing no way out of it, stop
ped and spoke lo her. Sac saw how
he was fidgeting to get away and said:
‘ You seem very preoccupied. Ah, I
know! You are thinking of the
you adore.”
“1 udore no one,’ was his stiff
joinder.
‘‘You cant’ deceive me. I know-
are deeply in love. Besides, your
ter showed me a photo of the object of
your devotion only last night. It isn’t
a type I admire. But, there, every
one to his taste. I won’t tell any one.
Good by.”
And before he could reply she w
gone.
When he reached home he said to
his sister:
"What girl’s photo did you show to
Miss Blank last night?”
"Not any. The only puoto I show
ed her was cue of yourself.” „
Then it dawned upon him that Miss
Blank was driving at.—London

500,000 CANS OF PEACHES.
One of the biggest new industries
that Rome has ir c Vving the "peach
problem,” which is of more Interest
to North Georgians than the "race
problem.” It is the Cothrnn-Fouche
cannery, which will put up this season
half a million cans of poaches, and
which has four hunderd people busily
engaged at work.
Tho cannery was built by Messrs.
H. D. and G. 8. Cothran and Sprouli
Fouche. It Is located at the MItchm-
el-Cothran orchahrd on the KIngsfon
road. Just outside the city limits. It
is equipped with the latest and most
approved types of machinery, and
works like a charm. Tne four hun
dred employees, under control of Mr.
Will Mitchell and Wlil Lloyd, make
the scene a busy one.
Of particular Interest to spectators
Is the new California peach peeler,
which seems to possess almost human
intelligence. When a basket of peach
es just from the trees is emptied into
the hopper, each peach comes out per-
ectly peeled.
The capacity of the plant Is' thirty
thousand cans a day. To date the
proprietors have put up 250,000 car.’*,
and the plant will run all next week,
bringing the output for the season up
to half a million. Most of th,e fruit
Is from the orchards of the gentlemen
who own the cannery, but a consider
able quantity for other orchard men
has also been handled.
Two grades of peaches are canned.
The "Fancy” for table use wholesale
at $1.40 to $1.75 per dozen cans. The
“pie" peaches sell to wholesalers at
ninety cents per dozen.
The season has been a successful
one, and the enterprising owners hfeve
demonstrated that scientific canning
will pay.

CLEVELAND’S WEALTH.
The newspapers gossips have been
amusing themselves with chatter
about the fortune of the late Mr.
Cleveland, and the latest conclusion
Is that It amounted to about a million
dollars. This estimate If It is meant
to Include Ills wife’s wealth. Is prob
ably about right. Miss Folsom, at the
time of her marriage, possessed per
haps a quarter of a million in her own
right, coming from her grandtataer
chieffly. Mr. Cleveland was a goo*i
manager, conservative, and the chance
Is that the property has steadily grown
In value. In his private life Mr.
Cleveland always made good money,
ae yas not a spender In the common
acceptance of tne term, and doubtless
earned more money than it was nec
essary to expend in the ordinary
course of events.
No clue was given in the will to
the amount of property owned at the
time of his death, but it Isf probable
that li was comfortably near the rail-
ion dallars It is no wrated to have
been if Mrs. Cleveland’s ownings are
included. HTs prudent care of als be-
longings might set a good example to
people of’substanee.

BRYAN DIDN’T VOTE FOR CRISP,
THOUGH THEY WERE FRIENDS
William Jennings Bryan did not
vote for Hon. Charles F. Crisp for
speaker of /he National House of
Representative!*, and the statement
attributed to him wherein he said re-
cenly that he did not vote for a Con
federate soldier is correct.
Quite recently Mr. Bryan Is said to
have declared that he could not go be
fore the voters of the Platte (his
home) having supported an Ex-Con
federate.
Denials of this statement have been
made by some of his friends, but it
Is doubtless correct.
The TImes-Recorder yesterday
sought Judge Charles R. Crisp, who
was his father’s private secretary
during his long tenure of office In the
National Congress, and asked con
cerning the Bryan episode now under
discussion.
And hi3 3taterr.ont was that Mr. Bry
an did not vote for his father, except
upon tae floor of the house. In the
first caucus, where he was nominated
by the Democrats of the House, Bry
an’s every vote was against Mr. Crisp.
He steadfastly suported Mr. Spring
er of Illinois, and only upon the floor
of the house, afterwards did he come
to the distinguished Georgian with his
ballot. This, Judge Crisp states, is,
is a matter of official record.
Speaker Crisp and Congressman
Bryan were good friends, notwith
standing, and afterwards Mr. Bryan
visited Speaker Crisp at his home
