CREDIT BANK PUHI
TO FINANCE PM
CROP IS ADOPTED
Decision to organize at once a
Federal Intermediate Credit bank
with a capital of SIOO,OOO to finance
the 1925 peach crop of Georgia; to
take immediate steps to insure the
proper grading of the crop and stand
ardisation of packing, and to so
modify the Georgia Peach Growers’
exchange as to make it of service
to every grower in the state, was
reached by the committee of ten
appointed to organize the peach in
dustry in the state at a, meeting at
the Atlanta Biltmore hotel Friday
afternoon and night.
It is confidently believed that the
projected plans of the committee,
when carried to completion, will in
sure the state eagainst the heavy
losses experienced In handling the
1924 peach crop. Those losses, it
was estimated, amounted to more
than $6,000,000, this figure being
said to be conservative.
At the outset of the meeting, W.
B. Baker, chairman f the commit
tee and president of the Atlantic Ice
& Coal corporation, of Atlanta,
stressed the importance of proper
- grading and uniform packing in the
handling of peaches, declaring that
improper methods used in the past
have reacted to the detriment of the
entire peach industry in the state.
.Shipments Suspected
"At present,” said Mr. Baker, "the
peach buyer in the northern or east
ern city, as well as in southern
cities, look upon carloads of Georgia
peaches with suspicion. They have
no way of knowing whether the fruit
is properly graded or whether the
pack is honest until they have thor
oughly inspected all the. crates.
“We should have rigid government
inspection and classification of
grades, and rigid supervision in
packing.”
It was stated that an effort will
he made to secure the co-operation
of the railroads and to induce them
not to accept for shipment any
peaches that are improperly graded
and packed unless charges are pre
paid. It was also decided to press
for passage before the general as
sembly a law which will insure prop
er grading and packing and provide
for curtailment of shipments when
the market becomes flooded with a
surplus of the fruit.
On motion of C. B. Lewis, presi
dent of the Fourth National bank,
of Macon, Chairman Baker was em
powered to appoint seven men to act
as a temporary board of directors of
the proposed Federal Intermediate
Credit bank, the resolution making
the provision that Mr. Baker him
self and J. L. Benton, president of
the Georgia Peach-Growers’ ex
change, serve on the directorate.
Directors Appointed
Mr. Baker appointed Mr. Lewis
and T. R. Turner, president of the
Bibb National bank, of Macon, on
the directorate, and requested them
to submit the names of three other
men. The board of directors will
have charge of the bank and will
and direct an immediate
* campaign for the SIOO,OOO capital
stock. No difficulty is expected in
raising the capitalization.
With this capital, it was stated,
the bank may discount, with the
parent Intermediate (Jredit bank, at
the rate of ten to one. It will thus
be in a position to discount $1,000,-
000 of paper in ample time to assist
those peach-growers who need help
In financing the 1925 crop.
Another resolution that was
unanimously passed urged that all
trees of t lie Uneda, Mayflower, Victor
Red Bird. Quenn of Dixie and Arp
Beauty varieties be “pulled up, is
these varieties are discreditable to
the Georgia peach industry: are un
wholesome and have a harmful effect
on the sale of varieties that follow.”
All of these are early varieties and,
Recording to a peach census in the
hands of the committee, there are
about 1,310,3(10 trees of them in the
state. The total peach acreage of
the state includes about 12,000,009
trees.
Present at the meeting were the
following committeemen: Mr. Baker,
Mr. Lewis, Mr. Turner, W. C. Bewley
secretary of the committee and for
mer assistant general manager of the
Georgia Fruit exchange; B. B.
Murph, of Marshallville, and ,T. J.
Betts, of Woodbury, well-known
poach growers; Warren Grice, wide
ly known Macon attorney and peach
grower; A. E. Bird, Jr., cashier of the
Citizens & Southern bank of Macon;
L. K. Glenn, president of the Atlanta
Ar Lowry National hank; C. E. Martin
vice president of the Citizens Bank
of Fort Valley.
Following luncheon at the Bilt
more and a session that lasted :.ll
afternoon, the committeemen were
guests of the Atlanta President's
club at a dinner, after which they
reconvened to complete their discus
sion. .
Resolution Gives Needs
Following is a resolution, unanim- |
ously passed, in which the commit
tee outlined the needs of the indus
try, with suggested remedies:
First: That there should be some
organization in Georgia whose mem
bership should be composed if pos
sible of all the peach growers and
all the distributors of Georgia
peaches.
Second: That the present Geor
gia Peach Growers Exchange ah
ready has the organization which,
with certain modifications, can ac
complish the desired purpose: the
idea being that the exchange should
itself sell the fruit of such of its
members only as desire the same to

services as the exchange renders
which tends to benefit the entire
peach industry, such as advertising,
etc., it would charge only a nominal
amount from its members, making
a greater charge for such actual
sales as it. itself makes. That depart
ment. of the exchange which would
distribute the fruit of such of its
members as desired it to render this
service would, together with the
other distributing agencies, who had
membership therein, and a nominal
connection therewith, agree on the
actual distribution of the fruit, the
actual destination of each car
shipped to be determined so far as
possible at daily conferences between
these various distributing agencies
and a representative of what may be
called the distributing section of the
exchange.
Third: That there should be rigid
government inspection and classifi
cation and grades; these government
grades to be determined upon after
a conference by,a committee appoint
ed by the president of the organiza
tion.
Fourth That a committee be ap
pointed to urge upon the. railroads
that prepayment of freight be re
quired on all shipments of peaches
below a certain government grade.
Fifth That a committee be ap
pointed to press for passage before
the legislature a law, on the general
lines of the California statute, hav
ing teeth in it, having for its object
the betterment of the quality of
peaches grown and shipped from
Georgia and if necessary a curtail
ment of shipments.
Sixth That we recognize that the
growing of peaches and the canning
of peaches are two entirely differ
ent matters, tho closely related. We
believe it to be essential to the fu
ture of this industry that a consid
erable per cent of the peaches grown
be put. into by-products, and not
shipped as perishable products, and
that a committee be appointed to
work out some proosition by which,
what are commonly called culls,
can be profitably utilized, as well
ns to interest canners to t consid
erable extent in the better grade of
Georgia, peaches.
Seventh There are many peach
growers who by reasonof reverses
have found it necessary to borrow
money to properly take care of their
peach crops, and have accordingly
made financial arrangements to that
end with certain commission houses.
The establishment of a corporation
to take advantage of the aid offered
by tile government through the Fed
eral Intermediate Credit bank, we
believe to be essential to the suc
cess of this industry, by providing
for such growers as may need it,
the necessary credit facilities, and
that this committee should under
take to see that such a corporation
is formed, and with it that crop in
surance similar to that bought by
the potato growers and others be
provided for the Georgia pea'h grow
ers.”
, Prefer Working and Fishing
to Fortune Offered by Big
Corporation for His Five-
Acre Farm
BY ROY J. GIBBONS
CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—" Money buys
| everything but happiness.”
"I have happiness. What good
would money do me?”
Thus reasons weather-beaten little
old Frank Zerngibl.
For the mere asking he could have
a million or more dollars tomorrow.
Big corporations want to bus his
five-acre tract where his grandfather
j is buried.
But he refuses to sell. He prefers
] to continue painting houses and go
i fishing once a year.
The land the corporations want to
buy is in the midst of teeming in
dustrial activity. It is the only green
spot for a mile around. Blast fur
naces belch their smoke on all sides.
Trains roar by.
Grandfather Bought It for SIOO
Zerngibl's grandfather bought it in
1854 for five S2O gold pieces.
When he died his children buried
him there in accordance with his last
request.
Once the property was worth little.
It was scarcely good for farming
even.
But came the day of steel and com
merce. Came offers of millions to
the little old man who has painted
houses all his life and knows what
it means to watch the pennies.
Every Sunday he goes out and
places flowers upon the grave. He
stops to read the tombstone. En
graved on it are these words:
"Here rests in the Lord God well
born Andreas Zerngibl, born March
30, 1797, died August 31, 1855. Here
'• rest his ashes. Amen.”
Memories come to old Frank.
But Frank Is Happy With Family
"On my grandfather’s knee I used
to play riding horse.” he reminisces.
“A noble man was my grandfather.
i who fished for a living and knew
and loved his God. •
"Here he lays at peace and I shall
i not disturb his sleep. They offer me
: money to move the grave. But
| money means nothing.
■ "With my wife and six children
! I am happy. Tn my little S3O-a-
■ month home there is rest when the
i day's work is done.
"Would my life be any brighter if
■ I were to sell?
“Now I work as an honest man
j should. I am happy at my work. I
am glad just to live.
Fishing Good for Mind and Sou!
“Money means so little. If I had
much of it 1 would want it for my
children.
“Some day I shall be going to join
my grandfather. Meanwhile let him
sleep in the place that he chose for
his last rest. All that life can mean
is happiness.
"I shall leave to my children the
matter of the sale. They are respect
ful children.
"I have taught them respect just
as my grandfather taught it to my
i father. Respect is above money.
, You will find that out as you jour
i ney through the years.
“Do an honest man s toil and love
God. These things will bring you
! contentment which money cannot
' buy.
“And learn to like fishing. It is
I good for the mind and soul.”

CTO BY SECOND
FIRE IN JERSEY CITY
JERSEY CITY, N. J., Nov. 16.
Fire for the second time within two
days wrought damage in excess of
j $2,000,000 in Jersey City when
■ flames which broke out in mer
i chandise stored on the Erie rail
‘ road pier No. 5, near the passenger
depot, destroyed two wharves, a
great miscellany of freight, 15 light
ers and a loaded freight car, injured
two firemen and disrlupted heavy
Sunday service on the Erie's subur
ban lines and on its ferryboats to
Manhattan.
It is believed the fire had been
silently eating its way through the
I bales, boxes and crates in the shed
j on pier No. 5 for more than half an
hour before it was discovered by a
watchman at 12:30 p. m. The entire
interior of the shed was ablaze by
the time firemen, summoned on an
alarm sounded at 12:35 reached the
scene. With the experiences of two
days ago fresh in their minds, they
immediately turned in a second alarm
at 12:40 and a third two minutes
later which brought Chief Roger
Boyle to the water front.
From pier 5, which in years
| gone by was the port immigration
station, the fire, fanned by a light
breeze from the southwest, leaped
across an intervening slip to pier 6.
i Both docks were about 500 feet long
by 75 in width and were covered for
j virtually the entire length by two
i story sheds of heavy, corrugated
I steei. They were used as a storage
I station for all westbound Erie
freight. An accurate inventory of
what was in them and was destroyed
by the fire will never be available
because the company's records, which
were in the freight office on the
land end of pier 5, likewise were
lost.
Chief Boyle quickly broadcast a
call for every available fire boat.
The John P. Mitchell and the Thomas
Willet were dispatched Jerseyward
by the New York fire department
and the New York Central, Lehigh
Valley, Lackawanna# and Erie rail
roads all sent boats to the burning
docks. Seven in all were sent.to aid
the firemen. They gradually worked
their way in between the piers to a
position from which water was pour
ed from countless nozzles to the
right and left onto the flames. The
fire was thus fought from land and
water, front and rear, and finally
got under control.

INSURGENTS BEGIN
HOSTILITIESONST
COOLIDGE TAX PLAN
1
BY DAVID TAW BENCE
(Special Erased Wire to The Journal —Copy-
right. 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—The
tactics of the Coolidge administration
have left open the door to insurgent
Republicans and Democrats to press
for a revision of the tax laws at the
December session of Congress. The
administration is making it plain
that the present law should be per
mitted lo operate and no changes
undertaken until after July, 1925,
but already some of the leaders who
have returned say congress will not
be bound by such a policy.
Just at the moment the adminis
tration is aware of the hostile ele
ments in congress and prefers to let
things alone until the new house
and senate come into power in De
cember, 1925. But the opposition
party in congress is sure to take the
initiative instead and although a bill
drawn by a coalition of' insurgent
Republicans and Democrats could
Still be vetoed by the president and
probably fail of passage over his
veto, still the political consequences
of such an act would weigh heavily
with those responsible for blocking
taxing reform.
The truth of the matter is the ad
ministration is feai'ful it can accom
plish very little in the reduction of
high surtax rates with the present
congress. In other Words, the treas
ury's idea of tax reform which has
been accepted by the president is
that a scientific revision is one
which affects the larger incomes and
stimulates business. The insurgent
Republicans and democrats, in fact
a substantial majority in both
houses, took the other viewpoint at
the last session and they are going
to take that same viewpoint again,
namely, that government finances
reveal a surplus and this should be
distributed so the people with small
er incomes could get the benefit of
it. One factor which has been intro
duced into the situation and which
probably was not foreseen by the
administration, was the impression
made by the publicity of tax returns.
Congress has been showing a ten
dency in recent years to get after the
persons of large income so that more
taxes might be collected and the bur
dens of the numerous small taxpay
ers relieved.
Political capital was made in the
last session of congress out of that
theory of taxation and the present
tax law is the direct result. While
some reduction was given to persons
of large income, the benefit of the
surplus was really bestowed on the
several million taxpayers who earn
less than SIO,OOO a year.
Under the circumstances the ad
ministration is hardly disposed to
take the initiative and will prefer to
remain on the defensive. But the
opposition party will not be content
to accept such a policy and if it were
for no other reason than to appear
before the public as being much more
interested in the small taxpayers
than the administration, the effort
will be made to revise the law re
gardless of how successful it might
be.
Question of Tactics
Had the administration, on the
other hand, taken the offensive and
presented its Mellon plan once more
withan argument for revision along
scientific lines so as to remove from
the small taxpayer the indirect bur
dens imposed upon him by a system
of inequitable taxation, there would
have been built up a case for veto
of any alternative plan.
It is a serious question of tactics
whether the administration will be
able to maintain its position wthout
at least acquiescing in the introduc
tion by administration leaders of a
25 per cent horizontal cut. It will
not be necessary to wait until July,
1925, to know just what the estimat
ed government receipts and expendi
tures will and a horizontal cut will
probably be urged upon the adminis
tration by some of its own friends
congress.
All that can be said at the moment
is that the statements issuing from
authoritative quarters declaring
there will be no tax revision recom
mended is confined only to the ex
ecutive branch of the government
and is no index of what congress will
do, or at least try to do.

BOYS' COTTON CLUB
SELLS 57 BILES IT
AUCTIDNATGRIFFIN
GRIFFIN, Ga., Nov. 16.—The
Roys’ Cotton club of Spalding coun
ty, fifty-seven strong, sold at auc
tion on the public square Saturday
57 bales of cotton, each bale being
harvested from an acre. Bidding
was lively, the lowest price was a
cent above the current market, while
the best cotton went at 30 cents a
pound, which is about five cents
above the marker.
This is the second year of cotton
club work under County Agent W. T.
Bennett. Last year the acre yield
averaged higher than this year be
cause of the severe summer drouth,
but this year’s work, all considered,
is rated better than last.
Again the business men of Griffin
rallied to the support this move
ment. The Savings Bank of Griffin
financed each boy, taking his note
without further security than the
boy’s name. This is the second year
this bank has done this. In the
bidding today the premiums in the
way of a higher than the market
price were offered by the business
men of this city. The firms buying
the boys’ cotton were Griffin Mer
cantile company, Georgia Kincaid
Mills, Atlanta Chemical company,
Stricklin-Crouch company, Hastien
Bros., J. V. Chunn and the Savings
Bank of Griffin.
The largest yield on anv one acre
was made by Benjamin Sindorf, who
got 585 pounds of ,lint. The second
highest yield was obtained by Mar
vin Becham, who made 574 pounds
of lint from his acre.
A large crowd gathered around the
bales of cotton, while P. W. Traer,
