TAFT AND KNOX WALKING SLOWLY
IF THE OFFICE IS SEEKING THE MAN
New Haven, Conn.. June 27.—Secre
tary of War William H. Taft told the
Yale graduates at the annual Yale
alumni banquet the exact state of
things In regard to his own candidacy
and that of Senator Knox for the presi
dency. Senator Knox sat on the plat
form while Taft spoke. Secretary Taft
said:
"Sonator Knox agreed after I was
chosen to speak this evening that I tell
this story to express our present view
of the political situation:
"A long time ago there was a Re
publican governor In Kentucky. An
old man who had voted the Republican
ticket for years without any result
cam# down off the mountains on hla old
mare Jenny and hung around the public
square till he became finally of the
opinion that Republicans were ungrate
ful. He at last turned his horse's head
toward his mountain home, when some
of the boys who sat on the piazza of
the hotel at Frankfort called out to
him and asked him what he looked so
glum about. He stopped his more and
said, slowly:
" 'Well, boys, I've heard It said that
the office should seek the man and not
the man the office. I’ve been down
here for several days and haven't seen
any office seeking the man, but If you
do, you just tell them that you seen
Jim Stubbs going down the Alexandria
pike on his little mare Jenny, and that
he was going d—n slow.'
"If there are men around the country
who are prophesying about Brother
Knox and myself, I want to say that
the only handicap he has had In the
race—that of not being a Yale man—
was removed today when he was given
a Yale degree."

ington briefly outlined the case for the
defense in the cotton leak case yester

of lies,’* because Mr. Holmes had never
entered Into the conspiracy. Further

had given the Information he had not
violated any law, because ho had not
given out any real information, but only
an opinion.
Holmes was then called and Interro
gated as to the facts relative to the

S-pedil to The Georgian.

Rumph orchard* here, the shipment*
of peaches from Marshailvllle, which
for several year* ha* exceeded 400 car,,
will not amount to over 75 car* for

Thla will mean a net loss to the peo.
pie of this section nt over $200,000,
and will fall moat heavily upon the
small farmer, many of whom are en
tirely dependent upon the fruit crop,
having quit cotton growing for peachea
several years ago.

only from the cold weather, which
laated until March, but alio from a
moat deatructlve halt storm about two
miles In width that posed over Jfar-
zhallvtlle and vicinity In April.
The fruit left on the tree* by the
frost waa cut and torn so harlly by
the hail that a great deal of it rot
ted on the tree* before ripening, and
not much of It haa bwn fit to put on
the market.
Prices, however, remain firm and
good, ranging from $2.50 to $3.00 per
crata
