counts Were to Be Collected by His
Successor.
ATLANTA, Ga, June ga sensational
case against well-known business man Of
Atlanta is set for trial before Federal Com
missioner Haight tomorrow, though the
chances are that the hearing will be post
poned. The question involved is a peculiar
one, and there are so few precedents that
the lawyers find it difficult to collect au-
thorities bearing upon the point. On Jan.
ID last the firm Of Conner s. Slater. COM
mission merchants, was dissolved, J. I.
Slater retiring and signing an agreement
that ali collections for the firm should be
left to his partner, who continued the BUSH
ness. Slater then began work for an in
surance company, with which he is still
connected.

nor. he feared that registered letter ad-
dressed to the firm waited at the postoffice.

contents, amounting to about $37. OF this
transaction Conner learned some
time later, and at once complained
to the postoffice inspectors. This
complaint resulted In criminal
prosecution againstSlatter. He is charged
with signing without warrant the firms
name and appropristing the letter, with its
content. This. it is understood, he claims

TOWNSVILLE, GA, June 23.-Many
trials have been made by the fruit growers
around Townsville to produce fine varie-
ties of plums. Experiment has followed
experiment for yeavs, only to bring disap-
pointment. It really would appear, how
ever, that the difficulty has been overcome
at last. A. D. Rike, postmaster and
nurseryman, has Botan plum tree
in his yard which has borne an
immense crop Of large 6ne purple
peach-flavored plums this season. This is
the only tree here old enough TO bear of
this variety. Should the future make good
the present prospect, the Botan plumb, a
Japanese fruit, will take its place along
with the LeConte and Kieffer pears as a
great money crop to Southwest Georgia.
DIR. II. G. Ramsey has also succeeded in
raising quite good crop of the beautiful
wild goose plumb.

threatening to secede from the municipality.

The petition Of the Georgia Pacific for a

The commissioners are preparing letter
to Gov. Northen in which they will recon-
mend that the legislature enact more
stringent laws 10 prevent railroads from
exaoting certain overcharges. They COM
plain that certsih lines pay no attention to
the rule of the commission, but collect
systematically more than is their
due When complaint is made
and the law 10 enforced against them
these roads refuse the overcharga but in
the majority OF cases the people do not
know that they are required TO pay too
much, and make no complaint. Thus the
roads can refund when called on, yet I'M

overplus for which no demand Is made
upon them. Such seems to be the general
drift of the letter. 1t will be completed TO-

Ledger of this date is authority for the
statement that Chancellor w. G. Boggs of
the University of Georgia intends to sit
down on SO much gayety here during the

that the chancellor thinks the constant
stream of entertainment during commence

proper amount Of attention that the exer-
else in the chapel should command, and he
is going to wage relentless war against this
social order of things. He has requested the
executive committee of the Athen8um to
unite with him to accomplish these ends.
He proposes to change the programme of
the college exercises. making inroads on
immemorial custom and fix the senior and
junior speaking at night instead of In the
morning. This, he hopes. will abridge
the amount of festivity and secure TO the
exercises reasonable share Of attention

tions may change the whole complexion of

looking unusually fine in this vicinity, cot
ton especially. The early peach crop is
about sold and brought prices which, but
for excessive transportation charges, would
have proven quite profitable for the grow

prices as yet put them out Of the reach Of
the small boy.

scale for securing immigration TO this

worth Of advertising has been contracted
for outside Of large contracts for descriptive
pamphlets, circulars, maps, etc. We are
going to ''push things" This section is in
oomparably superior to other parts of the
state for fruit culture. Many fruits attain
great sire and fine favor ia their wild state,
while the clay SUBSIDIZED hills are the verit-
able home Of the peach, pear and plum.
More peaches are raised in this Baker,
county every year than in all the rest Of the
counties In the state combined.
