If Engineers Report on Levee Made Before
Rivers and Harbors Bill Passes the Senate Congressman
Hardwick Believes He Can Get $500,000 for Levee.
Copies of the Congressional Record
containing some arguments by Con
gressman Thomas W. Hardwick on
the matter of securing federal aid
with which to help in the city of Au
gusta's levee scheme have been re
ceived here. Mr. Hardwick informed
congress in a 15-mlnute speech that
the city of Augusta had lost $2,000,000
by reason of the flood of 1908, that
this city had issued $1,000,000 of bonds
to protect herself, hut that this sum
was inadequate and that he wanted
the congress of the United States to
appropriate $500,000 to assist in the
wort Mr. Hardwick pointed to the
tremendous amount of aid the gov
ernment has given the levee system on
the Mississippi river and stated that
there should be no favoritism shown
and the Savannah river should be
treated with generosity also by the
United States government.

His story ran thus;

GEORGIA FRUIT
IS NOT OMGEO
Cold Has Helped Rather Than
Hurt the Crop; Not Far
Enough Advanced to be
Injured.
Atlanta, Ga.—Not only did the
Georgia fruit crop pass unscathed
through the recent cold, Imt 1914
will be a bumper year, according to
the statement issued by the Georgia
Fruit Exchange Monday.
"Little, if any. damage was done aB
fas as we can learn. ’ said Secretary
Marks, "and the outlook Is for a fine
crop that will compare favorably with
the 1912 output. During that year
over 7,000 carloads were shipped out;
and if there is no further severe cold
the output this year will be almost
as large.”
According to W. W. Chase, of the
state entomological department, who
spent all of last week in north Geor
gia, there will be a 100 per cent crop
in that section if nothing further oc
curs to damage the trees.
"The buds up there are Just begin
ning to swell,” said Mr. Chase, "and
sustained no injury whatever.”
In the South, where thp trees are
further advanced, some little damage
may have resulted to those in the bot
tom lands, but, according to the Fruit
Exchange, this is not material.
Frost was reported all over the
state Monday night, but the temper
ature did not fall below freezing, says
the weather man. As it takes about
25 degrees to kill the peaches, the re
ports on the fruit crop were most en
couraging.
"Wo are not out of the woods yet,”
said the weather man, "because snow
and a temperature of 22 degrees have
been recorded in April; but I think
warm weather will nurry itself along
now.”
Thomazville, Ga. —A heavy front
and plenty of thin ice which Thoinati
vllle people found on arising yester
day did not seem very spring-like,
but Indications are that comparatively
little damage has resulted from them.
Watermelons and corn crops were not
sufficiently advanced to be injured 'o
any extent. Early vegeta tries were
nipped somewhat, but not killed.
It is hoped that the Leconte pear
crop was not seriously damaged, as
many of the blooms were not fully
opened. Such cold weather so late In
March Is very unusual for tills section.
