FRUITS
/ GOIMIGESUP
California Pears, Grapes, and
Plums Reach Local Market.
No Change in Meats.
Other produce than that familiar to
frequenters of Atlanta's market section
is now being spread on display counters
and is causing housekeepers to draw
, more heavily on their grocery sums.
California fruits have appeared, tak
ing the place of the Georgia product,
ami the prices are materially advanced.
Rut few cars of the Western fruits
have reached Atlanta. The dealers,
finding the demand good, are selling
a dozen pears for 40 cents, a basket of
grapes for SO cents or a dozen Jap
anese plums for 20 cents.
Since the Georgia fruits began to dis
appear from city markets a few days
ago the demand for that of the West
i. has grown, and today, with little of the
home grown produce on hand, the deal
ers are rapidly stocking with the high
er priced kind.
The many varieties of vegetables
handled by local produce merchants
have remained generally at the figures
of a week ago. Though the supply in
some cases has decreased, the demand
• also has fallen
This has been probably the first week
of the year that some change in the
retail prices <>f ineats has not been felt,
f'uts. -teaks ami chops today are at the
t same figur- ts they a re Monday morn
ing.

TELEPHONE AIDS HEARING.
ACCORDING TO SPECIALIST
BOSTON, MASS.. Aug. 17.—Dr. Hu
bert D. Hamilton, of Montreal, delegate
to the Ninth International Congress of
• the Ear Specialists at Harvard uni
versity, declares the telephone is a great
help to the ear.

like hot onions,” says Dr. Hamilton
"have made people deaf. Trust science
to give her best. Stick nothing in your
ear except your elbow. The telephone
vibrations help rather than hinder the
ear."

last “big day’’ in Floyd county politics,

are eighteen candidates for the board
of county commissioners, seven for the
legislature and two for solicitor gen
eral, and Broad street is thick with
them today
Although this is Hoop* r Alexander’s
old home county, Slaton men are
strongly claiming, after a careful can
vass, that lie will carry the county over
both Hall and Alexander.
The solicitor’s race is ulos. . \V .1.
Ennis is claiming Floyd countx by 1.500
and John \V. Bale, his opponent. d«*
dares that he will get Walker and

I ALEXANDER RALLY
IN CABLE HALL NOT
LARGELY ATTENDED
There was an Alexander rally in Ca
ble hall last night, which was attended
by more than threescore persons.
The gathering was addressed by C. A.
I Brannon, M. F. Buchanan, Charles D.
McKinney and Thomas R. Goodwin.
All of the speeches were along the
usual line of Mr. Alexander’s campaign
addresses, ranis and promulgations.
Georgia was declared to be in a state
of anarchy; the "bosses” were alleged
to be ruling while, the people weep; the
newspapers were viewed with alarm
ami resolved tn bo in a diabolical league
against Mr. Alexander, and Slaton’s
campaign was declared to be in the
hands of the "big interests.”
Nothing much, one way or the other,
seemed to be thought of Joe Hill Hall,
and his campaign was scarcely men
tioned at all.

BOW WITH lI'KEE
Georgia Republican Boss Bit
terly Opposes Reappointment
of Atlanta Postmaster.
The ancient enmity, recently inten
sified. between Collector of Internal
Revenue Henry S. Jackson and Post
mast. r Hugh McKee, of Atlanta, has
broken out anew, and it now looks as it
there must be a “show down" and a
determination of “who's_who" in Geor
gia Republican circles, regular and
antt-"Bull Moose."
As national committeeman and di
-1 " t r< pii si ntativ.- of President Taft in
Georgia. Mr. Jackson has been sup
posed to be the man behind the big
stick, and the court of ultimate appeal
in the state.
In his capacity of party leader in
Georgia, Jackson has opposed the re
appointment of .Postmaster McKee.
Postmaster MeK.4> and Postmaster
General Hitchcock are warm friends,
and largely because of Mr. McKee's ex
cellent administration, as Hitchcock
sees it, of the Atlanta postoffice.
Hitchcock is reported to have said
that McKee shall be reappointed, de
spite all the Jacksons in Georgia.
Not only that, but C. D. Hilles, na
tional manager of the Taft campaign,
apparently has taken a sideswipe at
Jackson in writing to Would-be Post
master of Dublin Clark Grier, wishing
him mighty well and expressing a de
sire to see him achieve his ambition,
despite the fact that he had heard
Jackson was opposing hi- appointment.
Grier was or lio'tim; Taftites
from Georgia at the regular Republican
nation.d contention in Chicago.
■ Collector Jackson, therefore, hied
himself recently to Washington, there
to see the president face to face and
to demand of him to know who is run
ning things in Georgia, anyway.
In Republican circles around the
F. d» ral building in Atlanta the Jaek
s.'-i-Hit. itcoek-Hili, s row is being dis
cussed more or less excitedly.
No word has come from Collector
I Jackson as to tile success of ills mis
sion to Washington.
