GUTTENBERGER CO. “THE HOUSE YOU ENOW” TRIANGLE BLOCK THE GEORGIA FRUIT GROWERS ARE PERFECTING ORGANIZATION Much Work Has Been Done During the Past Week—Meetings be Held at Round Oak and Other Places. Meetings of peach growers under the auspices of the organization com mittee of the Georgia Fruit Exchange were held last week at Rome, Had docks and Marshallville, and two more meetings will be held this week. The first will be at Round Oak, in Jones county, on next Tuesday; and the other at Summerville, near Rome. In north Georgia, on next Friday. The Round Oak meeting will be addressed by H. C. Bagley. chalrmau of the organization committee, and by I. M. Fleming, who resigned his posi tion with the Fruit Growers* Ex press to aid tho Georgia fruit growers in their fight for better prices and a more thorough organization. Both these gentlemen will explain the pur poses of the exchange, and will enlist the aid of local growers. Round Oak Is a peach-growing center of import ance. and Mr. John H. Baird, of Fort Valley, who owns & large orchard there will be present to aid the movement. The Summerville meeting will bo attended by Messrs. Bagley andFIem- Ing. who will be assisted by Mr. John Graham, of Rome, and by Mr. J. Scott Davis, of Cave Spring. A large attendance of peach growers Is expected at both gatherings. In addition to explaining to the growers ihe general scope and pur pose of the exchange, Mr. Bagley will tell of the results already accom plished at Rome, Fort Valley, Mar shallville. Macon and other peach- growing centers. Although its charter was granted barely a weok ago. the exchange has secured shipment pledges of 2.S00 cars, or approximately 45 per cent of a full crop. Subscriptions to the 1100,000 capital stock In the exchange are In proportion. • Another* feature of Mr. Bagley’s talks at the meetings will be tho plan of tho exchange to widen the peach markets. Under the old plan, ship ments went almost exclusively to the big cities, such as New York, 'Boston and Philadelphia. Now it Is proposed to develop smaller markets. There are many cities, say of 100,000 population, that heretofore have had to depend on secondhand shipment* from the large cities. _ Tho acquisition of Mr. Fleming means much to the exchange. He has the confidence and friendship of both the growers and tho railroads, and, as manager for the last ten years of tho southeastern territory of a great fruit transportation and refrlgoraHon com pany, ho has mastered every detail of traffic affecting fruit shipments. Tho railroads are In accord with the movement, because through tho pro- proposed exchange all adjustments of claims can be settled In a prompt, Just and businesslike manner. They will also have the advantage of dealing with u practical transportation man in tho person of Mr. Fleming. The latter has dealt with the growers so long that the new arrangement will amount only to resuming an old re lation. The exchange, through the organ ization committee and Mr. Fleming, has covered many of the peach-grow- Ing sections of the state. The meot- Ing at Rome last week was represent ative of the growers of north Georgia, and the mooting at Summerville next Friday will add many more growers of north Georgia to the Hat. Tho meeting at Rome was most suc cessful. Men like John M. Graham, president of the Griffin Hardware Company, President Reynolds of the First National bank, and others of Rome, were present and commended the movement. The meeting was also attended by Mr. Summerour, of Dal ton. Mr. J. Scott Davis, of Cave Spring, Mr. Showalter, of Dalton, and others. Talks were mad* by these, and by Messrs. Fleming. Bagley, L. A. Dean and J. L. Bass. Every one present endorsed the plan, pledged their shipments for 1909, and sub scribed liberally to the capital stock.

A match was a truly sporting event; stakes were heavy, vast sums wero betted, and the excitement of the race would stir the whole nation. So much property was lost by the "gentlemen of the south’* to the "gentlemen of the north’* over a match run at Newmsrkpt at the dawn of the eighteenth century that the statue of Queen Anne was enacted to restrict betting. Yet In 1769 a Capt. Shafto won 18,000 pounds sterling by winning a bet that he would not complete fifty mllrc In two hours with as many horse* as ho pleased. And In 1806 thfnspnrting and gallant Col. Mellish lost bets to the tune of £0,000 In a mutch for 9,000 guineas—his horse breaking down when victory seemed assured. When In 1799 81r H. Vane-Tompest's Ham- bletonlan was matched against Dia mond for 8.000 guineas at Newmar ket, the place was so crowded with visitors that not a b*d wa* to bo had within twenty miles. One hun dred thousand people assembled to see a lady ride in a match at York In 1804 against a sportsman of celebrity, and 200,000 pounds sterling was said, at the least, to depend on the result. The lady's horse—nearly twenty years old—was beaten. The last of these memorable sporting events to arouse an Interest through tho whole country took place In 1861, when Lord EgHn- ton’s Flying Dutchman heat Lord Zet land’s Voltlgeur at York. Matches often were run under royal patronage. So far back ns 1377 the !>rlnrfl who brc!irn<* Rlr-’nrd If swum to have been beaten In a match against tho Earl bf Arundel—"owners up’*—and afterwards to have bought the victor’s horse for a sum squat now to 4,000 pounds sterling. King Charles n himself rode his horse Woodcock In a match at Newmarket in 167b—and was beaten. Even the austere King William III ran a horse In a match for a stake of 2,000 guineas, while Queen Anne ran several horses In her own name In matches at York and at Newmarket. The future Georgo IV ran n memorable match against time when 21 years of age. riding from Brighton to London and back (112 miles) In ten hours, on the same horse, as It appears. Many notable matches have been run against time between distant towns. In the days of James I his "groom of tho chamber" rode fire times between London and York— nearly 200 mile* apart—In five days, starting from London on a Monday, and "finishing his ’appointed Journey to the admiration of ail men" at York on the following Friday evening. A London to York match was run In Dick Turpin and Black Bess style In 1778, the winner, a mare, arriving In forty hours, thirty-five minutes hav ing consumed twelve bottles of wine on the Journey. Previously, in 1746, Mr. Cooper Thornhill rode between Stilton and Shoreditch three time*, covering altogether 213 miles In eleven hour* and thirty-four minutes, hav ing ridden fourteen different horses. Canterbury to London has been a fa vorite course for mors than one event. - In 1819 a lu-r '-f r'.-u.t.-r- burv undertook for a wager of 600 guineas to cover the 66 1-2 mile* In three successive hours, and won hi* bet handsomely, though some of his hors*, ran habitually In ©* • nd thr*e of them bolted with him. There Is a record of a ride In 180! between Burton on the Humber end Blshopgate. London, 172 miles, accom- pUsbed, «Ub fousuen hors**. In oa* £ fill 8PARTANBITRQ. S. C.. Nov. 21 .-In celebration of the of the Caro- Ohio railroad irom MU high- . i-l atlM given last night by the chamber of com 1 incrce at which were present many protn Incnt railway and public men, among them President Q. L. Carter of the new road; President Finley, of the Southern; Gov. Ansel. I). A. Tompkins. Richard H. KdtnundH and J. N. Powell, all of wliom made addresses. Responding to the toast, "Our Rail roads." President Finley said to the rep resentatives of commercial. Industrial and agricultural Interests that they were as much concerned In the healthy vancement of railways and good hi. ways as those who have money Invesi In the stocks and bonds of transportutl companies. He demonstrated with force that a commercial center cannot thrive unless the railroads nre progressive apd that the farmer, therefore, has a contem porary In the health of both. In this connection he said: "Destroy the transportation facilities of such an industrial center and It Will die; restrict them and It will cease to prow. In either event, not only the town Itself, but also the agricultural commu nity surrounding It will aufTer.’’ That the railways and a community aro dependent upon each other wo* de clared by Mr. Finley, who made a strong point of tho reciprocal obligations. He closed with u discussion of the propriety of railroads engaging In politics, on which subject he said: "Whether or not such participation In political affairs wan ever Justifiable It Is so no longer. Your railways are out of politics, but their property, their busi ness. and their ability properly to dis charge their service to the public ore subject to political action. This places upon you the obligation and responsibili ty of seeing to it that their conformity to higher and better standards does not result in their oppression.** hour and twenty-seven minutes short of the ten hours allowed the rider. Among many Brighton road records _ notable one was thnt set up In 1888, when tho famous whip, James Selby, drovo hi* coach from London to Brighton and back In seven hours and fifty minutes, thereby winning a wager of 1.000 to 600 pounds sterling that It could not be dono under eight hours. A great deal of money has changed hands over matches In which riders havo undertaken to cover twenty miles In the hour; a feat often per formed successfully. A great per formance was that of a featherweight Jockey who at Newmarket In 1786 rode a horse twenty-three miles In two or three minutes under the ‘hour. The Earl of March—"Old Qi*’—ws a on the winning side of a sporting match for 1,000 guineas In 1760, when "a car riage with four running wheels, and a person In It," was to bo drawn by four horses nineteen miles In an hour. The match was won In fifty-three minutes; twenty-seven seconds; and a grand sight It must havo beon to see the four horses and tholr riders sot ting up such a record. A great ride was that of a Mr. Llpscombo. who. In 1824, covered nine ty miles In four hour* and flfty-threb minutes, on eight horses, Thnt fa mous all-round sportsman, Squlro Os. baldeston, performed ft mnrvellous fent In 1831. when, having undertaken to rldo 200 miles In ten hours, for 1,000 guineas a side, to say nothing of bets, ho finished In eight hours and thirty- nine minutes "a* gay as a lad." Ho was 44 years of nge, and weighed over eleven stone; yet one of his twenty- eight horses carried him four mile* In eight minutes. For several riders tho claim ha* been made that they navo ridden 1,000 miles In 1,000 successive hours; and In 1891 Mr. J. Davis* drove on© hors© In a dog cart 1,000 mlleg in nineteen days—an averago of fifty-two miles a day. Some very odd matches find a place In the nnnal* of the turf and ths iWid. Has not Newmarket Heath seen "‘geese races* In the days of Lords Rockingham and Oxford? At York. In tho middle of tho eighteenth century, a trick rider rode one mile stnndlng upright on horseback for 100 guineas: he was allowed Mire© min utes, and rode horn® with eighteen second In hand. At the end of tps century nn officer trotted fifteen miles from Chelmsford to Dunmow In one hour and nine minutes, his far® to his horse’s tall. In 1800 a naval officer rode a blind horse round Sheerness rnce course for a wager, the condition being that ho should not touch the reins with his hands. This, however, did not prevent him from having the reins fastened to his feet. To walk fifty miles, drive fifty miles, and ride fifty mile* In twenty-four conserutlvo hours was a task that Capt. PolhlU easily • accomplished In 1826, with nearly five hours to spare. In our own time—In 1891—Mr. J. B. Rad- cllffe succeeded In mwlng a quarter of a mile, and In swimming, running, cvcllng and riding a horse tho same distance, all within tho space of fif teen minutes. Merely to think of such a feat is enough to mako one tired.—St. James Gazette.
