HURRIED TO MARKET.
Georgia Peaches and Melons Carried
West in Haste.

Never before in the history of the south
have the prospects for the peach and
watermelon crops been brighter. The trees
are dropping with the luscious peach, and
unless some Unforeseen calamity Details
this section, the most sanguine eXpectt-
lions of the fruit growers will be realized
From every section most encouraging
reports are received, and judging from the
present outlook. the success Of the crop
is assured. The perpleXing problem of
transportation that has in the past given
the growers some considerable trouble is
being easily solved by the railroads, and
the crop is being handled with dispatch.
Heretofore it has required about fifty
hours for fruit to reach Chicago after
leaving Atlanta, and even this was con-
sidered good time. An entirely new sched-
ule has been inaugurated this season, ana
the different roads are vyins with each
other in the matter OF rapid transit.
The railroads have been warmly engaged
IN fighting for the business, and it is prob
ably due to this sharp competition that the
deliveries of cars have reached this speed
never before oqualed. They are all hust-
ling for the business, and the fruit growers
being benefited exceedingly by the
rivalry that exists between the various
lines to the north and east.
Last week all previous records regarding
the delivery of cars was broken. A car
loaded with peaches left Atlanta at 6
o'clock in the morning. Chattanooga was
reached at 1925 o'clock that afternoon,
and Nashville was passed at midnight.
The next morning, not quite twenty-four
hours out from Atlanta the car was
stopped at Evansville and re-iced This
caused a delay of about forty minutes
but the train reached Chicago that after

The Farmers National Congress VIII
he Held In Atlanta.

Tie farmers national congress of Amerl-
ca will meet in Atlanta this fail, ana inc
attendance promises to be the largest OF
any session ever held in the history OF the
organiZa ton.
The farmers will come many hundreds
strong, and their visit to the exposition
will be cutie an event. They will come
from all parts of the country, ana Atlanta
will receive them with open gates
Last year the movement was undertake
en- to secure the congress for this TAN anu
the farmers were given most cordial IN
yitation to Atlanta. Governor NoIthen was
most favorably impressed with the ldea,
and determined to induce them to come, II
possible.
He at once interested the authorities OF
the state and the directors OF the EXPOSE
ton in behalf of the movement, and much
interest was manifested. n circular invita-
ton bearing the Endorsement of the COVER
ror. the general assembly, the city council
the exposition board and the State ASricui-
tural Society was issued and copies were
mailed to the branch organizations OF the
congress.
The invitation was accepted. and the con-
gress Will occur in October. The session.
will be of six days duration, ana WlH DC d
grand agricultural parliament
1t Is proposed to make 1t pan-Amerlcan
IL scope, and the project has received the
hearty Endorsement Of the ministers at
Washington from the South ana Cehtral
American countries and Mexico. The pro-
posed parliament is receiving the cordial
support of the agricultural press and OF
many papers in the north.
The parliament is in the hands of suc-
cessful national organization, and it Il
claimed that it is strictly non-political.
The scope Of such an organization is In
definite, and the meeting in this city VIII
be one of the chief features of the eXposi-
ton Thousands of the sturdy farmers
will be present, and it will be royal re-
ception the city will give them.
They Will come to inspect the agricultural
interests Of the south, and if they are
pleased with the conditions that exist. 1t
is very proba Bile that hundreds Of them

The farmers OF the country are just the
class Of immigrants that is needed in tho
south, and the result of their trip this taIl
may mean much.
The movement to bring the congress has
been receiving much attention from every
county in the state, and the fact that the
invitation has been accepted. will be pleas
ant news to the farmers of Georgia. They
will be here en- masse in October
Ex-Governor Northen is very much in

Cans made Of paper pulp are being intro
duced to take the place of tin cans for con-
tanning all kinds of preserved products The
occasional cases of poisoning from canned
goods are due TO the contents becoming
tainted through the cans not being aIr-tight.
MANY millions Of tin cans are used annually
by canned goods factories in this country,
and such cases of injury from tainted goods
are comparatively rare; but because it is
possible, through slight defects in the sol
der. or minute breaks in the cans. for such
DANGER to result, the Gamers have been
looking for a satisfactory substitute for
tin. 1t is believed that this has at last been
found In the paper pulp cans. They are oil
proof as well as waterproof, will not ey-
pand or contract, and will stand as much
rough usage in shipment as tin cans and
perhaps more.
