The opening gun of a brand-new po litical campaign will be fired in Lindale Saturday night, March 27, when B. 11. Fuller, of Calhoun Gordon county, will address the voters. He is a candidate for cor gress to succeed the Hon. Gor don Lee. Mr. Fuller is a farmer, peach grower and cattle raiser .lie has never held a political office, but is said to be well-informed on matters of state, though he is little known outside of his own county. State Treasurer R. E. Park lias received from Chairman J. S. Turner of -the prison commis sion of Georgia a letter in which he states that the $57,371 remain ing from the hire of convicts can be distributed among those coun ties not now using convicts. It is believed, however, the next quarterly payment due about April 1, will be retained to pay the operating expenses of the nev prison system, which begins on that date. Governor Smith has returned to the prison commission its re port recommending the purchase of the Wimberly farm in Tw’iggs county, with the request that the commission make further inquiry as to certain other places on whicl the prices originally quoted have been- reduced since announcement of commission’s recommendations The governor’s action is not a disapproval of the commission’s choice, but it appears to be his idea to get, if possible, a still bet ter bargain for tlve state. Trustees of the Georgia Fruit Exchange estimates that the to talyield of peaches in Georgia ter ritory this season will be 4,000 cars at the maximum or from 3,- 500 to 4,000 cars as a conserva tive estimate. This would be about 75 per cent of last year s yield. There has been some dam age all through the state to the extremely early varieties as a re sult of heavy rains last week. A. O. Murphy, a large grower of Bawwville, says that the crop in his vicinity was damaged about 10 per cent by cold weather in February, the trustees, however, say that the recent cold snap did no damage, and while the rams hurt the early varieties in some eases, they did not affect the El berta and other staple shipping varieties. The frost lino did not extend below Barnesville, and the growers reported that the blooms in the northern section were not far enough advanced to be in jured. The outlook, barring ab normal conditions, is for a nor mal crop and thie growers are greatly encouraged.
