The Oranges All Right

1t is gratifying to hear that the young
orange trees in Florida came through
the storm comparatively uninjured,
They are in fine growth now and the
orange growers are hopeful that the
groves will soon be bearing as plentiful
ly, and as fine fruit, as they were before
the great freeze. Had the storm gone
through the orange belt with as disas-
trous results as it did through the pine
belt of south Georgia the orange indus
try Of Florida would have been seriously
crippled for years to come.

From the Albany Herald.

From The Albany Herald.
That Judge Griggs came off with de
cided advantage IN the joint debate be-
tween himself and Mr.. Sibley on Friday
night was plainly evident to every un.
prejudiced man in the audience. The
Herald didn't say so in its news report
of the matter because the paper is recog.
nized as a Griggs partisan. 1t simply
tried to give as fair a report of both
speeches as its available space would
permit and avoid anything that could
even be suspected as ''coloring'' in favor
of its candidate. Mr.. Sibley does very
well, but he has bitten too big a chew
this time.

Savannah News Atlanta Special.
The consolidation of the returns in
Fulton county gives Govern II Atkinson
majority over his opponent of 1922.
He ran 1875 behind.
Governor Atkinson is reasonably we'll
satisfied with the result of the election.
Under the circumstances his majority.
and that of the state ticket, was as large
as he expected. But there were certain
conditions of the campaign that he
thinks might have been bettered and
which would have given him even a
more pronounced victory.
Now that the fight is past and won.
there is no harm in saying that the gov
ernor feels that if the party leaders had
come to the rescue as they ought to
have done the majority for the state
ticket would have been measured only bv
the old-time yard stick.

SAVANNAH, GA, Oct. 7.--Hon. F. G.
duBignon was shot tonight in the right
forearm by pistol in the hands of Hon.

ly accidental.
Mr.. duBignon was at supper with Mr..

son Dave, was brought out for inspection.
The cartridges were removed but af-
forwards replaced, of which fact Mr..
Barrow was unaware. He snapped and
there was an explosion. The ball en-

elbow. The wound, while not serious.
is very painful one and will incCnven-

Frank Miller, an old-time mining man Of Arizona who has seen all the leading niring camps oi the world, returned yesterday from Yuma where he has been working at the Fortuna, which claim he says is without douht the largest and richest mine in the world.
 Frank is not Of an exci,able nature and his language can be capable only of a favorable meaning as he gives fig ures and facts to substantiate the assertion of fruitfulness.

Eight wells were dug be- fore 6 satisfactory supply oi water was found.
 The pipe line is extended now to within six miles of the camp and each day sees it progressed toward compile tion. When d ne there will be ample water to supply the camp and big 4O-stamp mill that is nearly com pleted.
 This mills to be the bes, in the tere ri,ory, with HOO pound stamps; thero is nothing like it anywhere.

Both ladies were fsli..iiar with the use of shos guns and anticipated pleasant time. At 3 o'clock they procured a sail boat and sped across the bay, where the blinds were ready for occupancy. After sundown, when they had se- cured considerable game, the hOistec sail and endeavored to make the land ing from which they embarked. The night was very dark and they wev on the eastern side of the Chesapeake When they started the wind was northeast They did not discover thi.. it had changed to several points to the sorth and lcsJ their reckoning. For hours they beat up and down the Chesapeake, lost, as if in midocean- The night was bitter cold, and the gale high, but the girls never ex. pressed any fear They were seattS amidships, in heavy blankets that has been used for blinds. No sign of hu man habitation or civilization hove is sight until after midnight. whes their craft ran into a lot of anchored skitfs. This brought the.n to the shore, where, at midnight, after being exposed to the weather, they discoy- cred a little cabin, in which they found plenty of wood, and soon had . crackling fire, but it was long time before the half frozen ladies recovered. Finding four hunks in the cabin they, with much persuasion, were induced % try to get little sleep. Suddenly a piercing scream came from Miss Nina, who sprarg to the center of the cabin, holding her skirts high towards heaven. The other young lady, frightened almost to death, sprang from her bunk, recciv- ing several severe contusions and at the same time adding her soprano to tie music The trouble was explained when the younger one exclaimed ''Rats' Investigation proved tha: horde of marsh rats had entered the cabin and sought refuge under tht blankets and the pillows. At day break Sunday sail was hoisted and after securing the bay shore for hours, they finally discovered their landing, arriving home late that evening.
