IN meeting assembled, recognizing the
gravity of the crisis between the United

the calamity which war will entail upon
both nations, commend the wise and con-
sentative course of the President in his
firm determination to exhaust every reas-
enable means to maintain peace with hon
or, and to adjust the relations of Cuba. in
manner satisfactory to the people of that
country.
we commend the action of Congress in

Fleming, as follows
Resolved, That we are neither LIMOGES

glory nor peace for money We desire
peace only so long as it can be had with
honor. We deprecate agitation alike for
war or for peace at any price The mat
ter should be deliberately and independ-
entity considered by those In authority,
who alone have adequate knowledge OF
the facts, and who alone are clothed with
the awful responsibility of action in this
crisis. The only expression escaping us
being this, that a judgment so reached
shall be backed by a loyal, courageous and
united people the country over.

FRUIT CROPS AND THE FROST.
VERY LITTLE DAMAGE DONE DUR
ING TUESDAY NIGHT.

Early Peaches So Far Advanced Thhi
They Can Resist n Moderately Oo"'
Wave-Late Peaches More Tender
and Somewhat Injured-Na Damage
Done at MOntezuma-SOme Appre-
beusion as to the Result of Last
Nights Cold Snap.
Griffin, Ga, April 6.-The cold weather Oh
! last night has done very little damage to
the fruit crops. Information comes from
the experimental station that the early
peaches are so far advanced that it would
REQUIRE much colder weather to kill H.
while the other fruit is damaged very Ut
tie The late peaches. which are just shed-
ding their blooms, are damaged some. 1t
is not known just how badly they are hurt,
but the indications are that unless anoth-
er freeze comes tonight there will be
fair crop.
Montezuma Ga, April 6.-The fruit crop
here was not injured by the cold last night
in the least S. H. Rumph of Marshall
Vile who is perhaps the most reliable au-
thority on horticultural matters in the
state, said this afternoon that there was
no visible frost in his immense peach or
chard this morning and that he was salts
fed that the crop is as yet uninjured, He
further stated that the prospect for fine
peach crop was very promising but that
the plum crop was more or less injured.
Triton, Ga, April 6.-The fruit crop was
unframed by last nights cold wave as the
mercury did not fall below 40 degrees. I'm
der favorable conditions we would have
had big frost, but owing to a stiff wind
and the weather being cloudy, it was
averted Unless a sudden change comes
before midnight, the fruit growers are
looking for the temperature to go to the
freezing point in which case there would
be great damage. However, most of the
growers have made ample preparations for
fires and would be able to modify killing
frost so that there would not be total
loss.
Macon, Ca, April 6-The cold snap last
night did not affect the fruit crop in Bib
and adjoining counties. A high wind and
heavy clouds prevented frost. Danger is
feared tonight, as 1t is clear and cold.
Fruit growers have burning log heaps in
the orchards to protect the fruit.
Fort Valley and Marshallville report no
damage so far, but dread to-nights cold.
Growers at both places have fine prospects
for an enormous crop If no damage is done
tonight or hereafter
There was no frost at Triton. The wealth
er was moderate and fruit is uninjured.
Nowhere in this section was fruit dam
aged last night, but falling temperature
and north wind indicate a bighting frost
tonight.
Marshallville, Ga, April 6.-There has
been no freeze or frost here, but it is
feared there win be frost tonight. 1t Is
