California fruit growers have dis
covered that apricots bleached with
sulphur fumes and then dried in the
sun are superior to those that are dried
in any other manner or that are
canned. They regard this fact of very
great Importance to the whole State.
1t enables every fruit culturist, how
ever limited his means, and however
small the product of his orchards, to
dry his own fruit for market, and
makes him independent of the canning
factories. 1t is also stated that fruit
can be prepared in this manner more
cheaply than in any other, that its
weight is better preserved, and that it
is of superior favor. Large dealers in
dried fruit say that the market for
such products of California orchards
will always be greater than the supply
can possibly be. The United States
alone will readily take all the fruit of
the kind and quality now being pro-
duced by the sun-drying process that
California can ever raise. Many thou
sands of apricot trees have been plant
ed within a recent date in orchard
form in southern California. Sun-dried
.apricots are being sold to California
dealers at double the price paid for
the best raisins

DR.. A. Graham Bell says that out Of

States, more than half are congenitally
deaf, and the proportion in the Old
World is still greater, Deafness is far
less common in negroes than among
white people.
The Medical Record estimates that
among 1000 doctors the annual death
rate ranges between fifteen and TWEEN
ty-dve, making a yearly loss of 1900
physicians out of our 10000. But the
supply is such as to remove all cause
of apprehension, for the number of
medical graduates in 1928 was 1879,
more than double the estimated num-

A Washington Territory correspon-
dent of The San Francisco Chronicle
alleges that the smuggling of China
men from British Columbia has attain
ed the proportions of regular business
there. He says that they come from
Victoria, and are Struggled across to
Dungeness, Point Discovery, or Point
Wilson. The distance is about thirty
five miles, and they come over night,
in Indian canoes, accompanied by
white guides or pilots. AS wages in
British Columbia are much lower than
on the American side and as it has
been found practically impossible to
watch the coast line, unless a large
force is placed there, this smuggling
bids fair to continue.

MEssRs. STEVENS and BUTLER,
GENTLEMEN: Reassuring you
of my high appreciation of the
honor conferred upon me by the
convention of delegates assembled
in Cuthbert on the 10th inst. to
nominate a candidate to represent
the 1lth Senatorial District in the
next general assembly Of the State,
as expressed in my note to you of
the 10th inst, that after having
been further advised by you as to
the alleged Irregularities in the
vote of the Clay delegation to the
convention, and having delayed q
few days to see if the convention
should reassemble, to which nv
assent had been given, for the
sake of peace and harmony, and
nothing having been done so far.
as | am advised, and the informa-
ton furnished being satisfactory,
no further reason seems to indi-
cate the propriety of longer de-
lay.
1t may therefore be announced
that L accept the honor conferred,
requesting that you understand
that L will cheerfully acquiesce
with any future action, circum-
stances may indicate the proprie-
ty Of the party to which we be-
long, taking in the premises. You
will now allow me, gentlemen, to
add that should l again have the
honor of representing the 18th
Senatorial District, in the next
general assembly of the State
that the occasion and circum-
stances attending my nomination
and election will be we'll calcula-
ted to call forth the utmost of my
humble abilities, to serve we'll a
generous and confding constituent
cy. Again thanking you and the
convention you represent, I have
the honor to subscribe as hereto

ing the entire history Of Col.

from this district. 1t has been

Tuesday from Prof. Adams that he
had received q letter from Dir.
Baldwin on the day before author
izing him to tell. BIr. Stevens to
attach his name also to the letter
notifying Col Hoyl Of his nomina-
ton. We infer from this informa-
ton that DR.. Baldwin is entirely
out of the race, leaving Col. Howl
to contest it with the negro Cone.
who was nominated at Cuthbert
on last Thursday. Democrats
should bear in mind that the ne
groes are not only organizing to
defeat the nominee in the county
for the Legislature, but also to de-
feat Col Hoyl for the Senate. Let
the news, then, be circulated far
and near, and let every democrat
In the county turn out and do his
full duty. No man can afford to
be Indifferent at time like this.
Let personal prejudices be laid
aside for the good of the party
and let every man cast his vote in
the interest Of good government
and the democrat party.

The State Executive Committee
has issued an address to the
Democrats Of Georgia urging
every man to attend the polls on
next Wednesday and cast his bal
lot for the nominees of the party.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that
every Democrat will heed this call
and act upon it. The Democratic
ranks once broken in Georgia will
give rise to endless trouble in the
future, and it is only necessary to
look back for moment to the days
of Reconstruction" to realize the
full force of what we say. Besides,
this is Presidential year and full
Democratic vote will go a long
ways towards encouraging success
in other and doubtful States. Let
every Democrat, then, turn out
and vote.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of the
10Th, we have industriously and
diligently inquired in o the vote
of Clay county, cast by the dele
gates in the convention held at
Cuthbert On the 10th inst, and we
herewith hand you letter enclosed
signed by five of the delegates
showing the truth of the whole
matter. 1t is due MIR. T. P. Jester
OF the Cotton Hill District, the
sixth delegate, that we should state
that he has not had an opportuni-
ty 70 sign the letter addressed to
you by the other five delegates.
q. D. Stevens, of Dawson, in COM
pany with two of the delegates
from Clay, Sultive, Of TT. Gaines,
and Stanford, Of Cotton Hill Dis
trlct, went In person to see Mr..
Jester, and found him absent from
home, gone to Eufaula, and that
he was not expected home until
the next afternoon. We have had
a fair expression Of the people
and while both Clay and Randolph
think they should have mad the
nomination, it being matter OF
pllde, there is no objection to you.
In TACT we believe your nomination
will give more general satisfaction
than that OF any person who was
before the convention at the time
Of the nomination.
We say to you and the Demo-
Gratis of the llth Senatorial Dis
trlct that your nomination is with
out question, and we urge you to
accept without delay. At same
time that you furnish us a copy of
the correspondence for publication
in the several papers of this Dis
trict that the people may know the
facts. Very Truly.

reference to rumor to the effect
that there was mistake made in
casting the vote Of Clay county,
we beg leave to state the follow
ing facts, to-wit: There being six
delegates to cast the vote
of the county, four from Cot
ton Hill district, two from Fort
Gaines district-the Bluffton dis
trict being unrepresented and
the county being entitled to thir-
teen votes, it was agreed in the
the caucus that each district was
entitled to Al votes, there being
three districts in the county,
which left the entire vote to be
cast by the Fort Gaines and Cot
ton Hill districts. 1t was then
agreed that the Blufton district
should be equally divided by the
Fort Gaines and Cotton Hill
districts. which made 81 votes to
be cast by each district. There
being four delegates from the
Cotton Hill district and two from
the Fort Gaines District, upon a
division of the 64 votes the four
delegates from Cotton Hill were
entitled to Is votes each, and the
two delegates from Ft. Gaines to
81 votes each. This was the vote
cast from Clay, and there can be
no mistake.
The above facts as stated, are
true, and it was clearly understood
by each and every member of the
caucus that this was the way the
vote stood.

John Parrott is a leyel-headed
man, and he sometimes says things
that are hard to get round. His
ilta8t utteranco is as follows: THE
idea Of using guano on lands
every year, one after another, is
like sticking a piece Of paper in
the fire and burning it up" He
says the only true way to improve
land is by rest-alIowing it to
accumulate a sufficient amount Of
vegetable mold to replace what
has been taken up. John is right.

It will not be long before the
entire cotton crop of Terrell will
have been gathered, ginned,
packed, delivered and sold. This
will give the farmers ample time
to put in large grain crop this
fall, thing very much to be de-
sired. The man who sticks to
grain and makes cotton a second
ary matter, is the man who must
ultimately succeed as farmer. 1t
has been demonstrated time and
again that there is no money in
raising cotton at a price less than
nine cents per pound, however
good the crop. Good grain crops
mean independence, plenty Of
meat and fat stock all the year
round.

is fact that the negroes in the

the election under circumstances
like these? We believe not.

John Parrott says he is done
trying to raise cotton; that the
idea Of hiring high-hat, educated
'niggers" to raise cotton is prepos-
ferrous. He proposes in future to
devote his time and farm to the
production of grain and meat. If
q few more of our good progress
sive farmers will follow suit, it
will be all the better for the coun-
ty and them too.

While cotton is down, it is a
good time for farmers to settle
their guano notes, as it will proba-
bly, cost them as little new as ever,
and perhaps less, as cotton may
so higher towards settling time.
