FLORIDA's PHOSPHATE MINES.
Low Prices Caused Those in the As
ISOLATION to Suspend Operation.

Owing to the depression in the market
for phosphate rock all The companies in
the Associated Phosphate Mines of Flor
ida have temporarily suspended working,
and will remain shut down until there is
some improvement.
These are the hard rock mines in the
territory extending from a point Just be-
With the exception of the mines in the
High Springs district all of which are
in operation, and three other mines which
are neither in this district nor in the as
ISOLATION, practically all the mines have
ceased working. This, however, does not
include the pebble rock mines, which have
never entered into any association.
The association was organized by the
phosphate miners for the purpose of
selling the rock through one channel and
commanding better price for it. A num-
her of the mines outside the association
which are in sympathy with il have also
closed down. Outside of the High Springs
district there are now only three hard
rock and a few of the land pebble COM
panies in operation.
The closing down of these mines said
a gentleman Interested in the business,
was due TO the reduction brought about
by the extensive throat cutting that has
been going on, and also on account of the
efforts of the buyers who by going from
one company to another, brought about a
competition that carried prices down to
too low a basis for the mines to live. 1t
is said that the prices in some instances
were carried below the cost of production,
which necessitated some action on the
part of the association for its protection.

dition while in transit. He said that the
pear crop too as far as he could learn was
n a good condition, though it is not given
quite so much attention as are the peaches.
The pear however, keeps well, and is
good fruit for shipment, and always sells
we'll if il reaches the market in good con-
dition.
Already the northern commission mer-
chants are looking to the fruit section with
a view to securing their share OF the crop
for sale in the northern and eastern
markets Several of them have recently
passed through Savannah on their way TO
Fort Valley and the surrounding section.
One merchant from Boston, who was
here yesterday, stated that he had Sc
cured five cars from Macon year before
last, and averaged $500 a car ON them in
that market.
There is a good deal to be said also of
the fruit crop in the southwestern part
of the state around Triton. Albany, Pei
ham and ThomasVille. Recent investiga-
tons have shown that to be one of the
best fruit growing sections in the south,
and large quantities of peaches, pears,
and grapes have been started there with
much success. Last year the Savannah
Florida and Western railroad shipped
eighteen or twenty cars of grapes from
right around Pelham, and they found a
ready market. Maj. G. NJ. Ryals has re-

A COLoRED CHURCH ROW.
An Objection Raised to the ex-PastOr
Disturbing Public Worship.

The Springfield Baptist church, colored,
about five miles out on the Augusta road,
is in a stew again over the actions of the
ex-Rev. A. j. Grant. its former pastor.
Some time ago he got on too intimate
terms, it is charged, with the, wife of one
of his flock, and her husband left her.
Hayward Bacon, the head deacon, talked
to him rather seriously about this. con-
duct and gave him to understand that the
church could not tolerate it. This led to
a fight, in which Grant and two of the
deacons, John Credit and Alex Gaillard,
went for Bacon, with the result that
Grant was afterward put under bond to
keep the peace
John Miller was selected by the congre-
cation to take Grants place as pastor,
and services were held on the following
Sunday. Thursday nights services also
took place all right. and it was announced
that communion services would be held
last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Grant,
it is charged. had previously circulated
threats of violence upon Miller IL he at
tempted 10 hold the services, and Miller
did not hold them. The head deacon,
Hayward Bacon, and the church secre-
tary, Peer Lawson, came into the CITY
yesterday to see what could be done to-
ward silencing Grants interference. If
he does not cease his disturbances, they
say, they will have other warrants issued
and get him out of the way.

PEACHES FOR THE MILLIONS.
PROSPECTS FOR THE LARGEST
CROP EVER GROWN IN GEORGIA.

Fruit Will Have 10 BE shaken on.

Expected to Attract Immigration
From the West.
Reports come from the fruit growing
section along the line of the Southwest
ern railroad. and especially between Fort
Valley and Marshallville, that this year
peach crop will be the largest and best
that has been known for fifteen or twenty
years, provided, of course, the weather
b conditions from now to the time of
maturity are anything like favorable.
The Morning News yesterday had a
statement from Mr.. J. II. Hale of Bos-
ton, president of the Hale Orchard Com
pany whose orchards are in the Fort
Valley section. saying that the yield of
these orchards alone would be in the
neighborhood of 100000 bushels and that
from that section more than 5OO, 900 bushels
would be marketed, while half as many
canneries that are TO be started there
Nearly all the trees in these orchards
Mr.. Hale states, has upon it from eight
70 ten times more fruit than the trees
can mature and they will of course
have to be relieved from these heavy
burdens

necuon with the peach crop led 10
