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.

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 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. 3
