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.

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.

I IJACKSDNAGMNIN 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. 3
