There is great difference in the
amount of solid matter that the differ
ent varieties of apples contain. Some
are extremely tender and Juicy to
eat, but when evaporated they leave n
very small amount of dried fruit. The
Russet is probably the most solid ap
pie grown. But if grown in n dry eli
mate the Baldwin is not far from it.
The apples grown in New England
IRE more tender and juicy than those
grown farther West. 1t may be, how
ever, that the latter will prove best
Tor iaporatinG, n least 50 far as
quantity is concerned But we have
always noticed that the poor green
fruit always affects the quality of the
Tried product. 1t is likely. therefore.
that Western cvapora.ed apples will
only sell where those from Now Eng
land cannot he had.

1t is n good plan to plant all peach
pits when it is known that the fruit
has been grown on trees free from vel
lows. If the peach is an extra good
one, 1T may well be left to fruit on it's
own stock. Some kinds of peaches
reproduce themselves for seed, and all
kinds of this fruit are more likely to
produce something nearly like them
selves. II tho native fruit proves to
he worthless, few buds inserted
higher up after it has grown large
enough to show what it is, will change
1T to whatever variety may be de-
sired.

MAKE THE VOTE A LARGE ONE.

There is no doubt that the feeling
throughout the second congressional
district in favor of the reelection OF
Representative Griggs, even were his
opponent other than negro, is very
strong. He has made an excellent
representative. That'fact is we'll un
derstood not only by democrats but
by populist and republicans. He has
been faithful in the discharge of his
congressional duties, and has made a
record with which his constituents are
thoroughly satisfied.
Although serving his first term,
he has become one of the most intluen-
tial members Of the house and has
been remarkably successful in protects
ing and promoting the interests of
his constituents. That being the case
the voters of the district should see to
it that Judge Griggs is kept in con-
gress as long as he will remain there,
and that he is reelected by vote so
large that he will feel that he has a
constituency which has high appre-
citation of his services.
Having the good will of his district
in such a marked degree he very
naturally desires to be returned to
congress by big vote. Every con.
gresham likes to feel that he has
pleased his constituency so we'll that
they are willing to compliment him by
giving him big vote; and big vote
is calculated to inspire congressman
to make extraordinary efforts to serve
his district.
The election will occur on next
Tuesday, November Sth. Remem-
Der the day and go to the polls.

ATKINSON'S PARTING ACTS.

| Atlanta.

Swift Moves on The Political Board in
Atlanta.
ATLANTA, GA. (Friday)-Governor
Atkinson's administration goes out with
political cloud burst.
=. This afternoon there was regular ty-
phOon at the capitol. Like thunder
bolt from clear sky came the announce
ment that Hon. Jacob l.. Beach had re-
signed his place on the state prison
board. There was no reason assigned
for the resignation, though it is known
that it was due to friction on the board
simultaneously with the announce.
ment of the resignation came the infOr-
nation that Governor Atkinson had
rendered the succession to Judge G.. c..
Smith of the Oconee circuit that the
vacant judgeship on the Oconee bench
had been rendered Solicitor General Tom
EasOn and the solicitor generalship
offered TO l.. D. Shannon of Twiggs
county.
Thus by one resignation the governor,
by taking Judge Smith from the bench,
gave himself three appointments. 1t
seemed like nicely arranged plan, but
it didn't work.
Judge Smith came up to see about tie
matter, and after looking into it decided
to decline the appointment. This upset
the governors plans for little while,
but it was not long before he was on his
feet again.
The result was that Solicitor General
Tom Eason, who had been programmed
tor the bench tn succeed Judge Smith,
was given the place on the prison COM
mission. Then Hon. John Delacey of
Eastman, who was defeated for Judge
by Judge Smith two years ago, was ap.
pointed solicitor general to fill the
vacancy caused by the appointment of
Tom Eason to the prison commission.
Mr.. Shannon, who was on the first slate,
was left out.
The friends of Hon. Harry Dunwoody,
of Brunswick, made great pull TO get
him on the prison board, but it wouldn't
go with the governor. Judge Samps
Harris was also tried, but without effect.
Late this afternoon the new appointees
appeared up the scene and were sworn
in. Thus within half dozen hours after
Commissioner Beach made the first sen-
sstiOnal move on the board the whole
lIghtning-like change was worked and
the new men sN Orn in.

prove worthy of the honor and trust
they have conferred upon him.
Though plain, rugged and UMPIRE
tentious man of the people, he has the
ability, the honesty and the expert
ence in affairs of state that peculiarly
fit him for the performance of the
duties of the Office of Cover.
nor, and his administration will re-
fleet credit upon Georgia and advance
her best interests. He realizes the most
pressing needs of the state, and will
greatly aid in the adoption of true
remedies for admitted evils.
