to call the attention of Senator Gray
to the subject. The Senator does not
read the TRANSCRIPT, not to our
knowledge that is. The money for
completing the building las been ap-
propriated but Mr.. Carlisle is said to
be holding it back to swell the "reserve
fund" in the Treasury, it having been
borrowed, or its equivalent, every dol
lar Of it.
Has not the TRANSCRIPT stated the
case fairly and truthfully? Should not
these men be discharged or put on fur
Tough when not employed? Already
they have drawn over $25O0. 90 while
doing nothing.
The TRANSCRIPT has nothing to do
with the fact that Mr.. Ware is wealthy
man and drives to his daily toll behind
span Of fine blacks, nor to the other
fact that he gave when in the Legisla-
ture a much-needed vote to Mr.. Gray
for the Senate, but it is our business to
know about the expenditure Of the
public money and whether it is ex-
pended properly. 1t is a matter for
public comment. 1t concerns only
worthy and deserving Democrats that
a wealthy man like Mr.. Ware should
be selected by Mr.. Gray over them
selves. That is family matter with
which the TRANSCRIPT is not con-
cerned, but it is of interest to tax
paying people to learn why such state

It is now believed that the peach crop in

The very favorable weather of the past
month has nourished the growing crop and
kept it remarkably free from "June drop"
and other hostile attacks. The crop will
surely be an abundant one.

can Ge found some which have thawed
and become spoiled thoroughly, being so
soft that they barely hold together The
greater part OF the fruit being sold in the
commlsslon-houSes is still frozen, and
therefore not unwholesome.

supplies the retail trade, has sign on a
box OF choice oranges which reads /:

seen by reporter, he said : although
the sale of frozen oranges does not COM

ought 10 be allowed, Tor the reason that
there are so many bad ones among the
rest, which will be eaten with the others
by people who cannot afford to throw the
whole lot away as soon as they thaw and
become soft. The sale of these oranges
was stopped in New \ ork and Boston
