GEORGIA FRUITS I
GONE; PRISES OP
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
nnd is causing housekeepers to draw
more heavily on their grocery sums.
California fruits have appeared, tak
ing the place of the Georgia product,
and the prices are materially advanced.
But 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
has grown, and today, with little of the
home grown produce on hand, the deal
ers arc rapidly stocking with the high
er priced kind.
The many varieties of vegetables
handled by local produce merchants
ha\e remained generally at the figures
of a week ago. Though the supply in
some eases has decreased, the demand
also has fallen.
This has been probably the first week
of the year that some change in the
retail prices of meats has not been felt.
Cuis, stciks and chops today are at the
same figure . s they were Monday morn
ing.

to the Ninth International emigres- of

help to the ear.
"Too many 'old-fashioned remedies
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

ALEXANDER RALLY
IN CABLE HALL NOT
LARGELY ATTENDED
There ivasan Alexander rally in Ca
b'. ball last night, which was attended
l>y mor, than three score persons.
The gathering was addressed by C. A.
Brannon. M. F. Buchanan, Charles D.
McKinney and Thomas B. Goodwin.
All of the speeches were along the
tisu.il line of Mr. Alexander’s campaign 1
iddr< ssos, cards and promulgations.
Georgia was declared to be In a state
of anarchy; the "bosses” were alleged
to bo ruling while the people weep; the
newspapers were viewed with alarm
and resolved to be 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,
med to be thought of Joe Hill Hall,
and his campaign was scarcely men
tioned at all.

JACKSON AGAIN IN
RO® m M'KEE
Georgia Republican Boss Bit
terly Opposes Reappointment
of Atlanta Postmaster.
r
The ancient enmity, recently Inten
sified, between Collector of Internal
Revenue Henry S. Jackson and Post
master Hugh McKee, of Atlanta,
broken out anew, and it now looks as if
there must be a “show down” and a
determination of “who's who” in Geor
gia Republican circles, regular and
anti-“ Bull Moose."
Ab national committeeman and di*
rect representative 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 McKee and Postmastei
General Hitchcock are warm friends
and largely- because of Mr. McKee's ex
cellent administration, as Hitchcock
sees it, of the Atlanta postofflee.
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 t'lark 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.- ippolntment.
Grier was one of the boiting Taftites
from Georgia at the regular Republican
national convention in Chicago.
I'ollector Jackson, therefore, hied
himself recently to Washingt m, there
to s.-e -lit pie-dfient face to face and
to demand of him to know who is tun
ning things in Georgia, anyway.
In Republican circles around the
Fcmral buildit -■ in Atlanta the Jack
soti-Hitcltx ocl Hilb s row is being dis
cussed more or less excitedly.
No word has me from I’oliectot
J ck-on i-. to the sue. css of his mis
sion to Washington.
