BROUGHT GOOD PRICES.
Net Results to Peach Growers Have
Been Excellent.

Been Excellent.
The season of Georgia peaches is
nearly over. By Aug. 25. Traffic Man
ager E. H. Hinton of the Central Rail-
road said yesterday, it will have been
finished, when all of the fruit will have
reached market. From the line of the
Central the movement is now slack.
The Central has moved 1,079 cars this
season, but there are probably enough
peaches yet to be handled to bring the
total up to between 1,150 and 1,200.
which would be about the estimate
made by Mr.. Hinton some three weeks
ago.
From the entire state there have thus
far been 1.604 cars of the fruit moved.
The season this year is considerably
later than last. The last movement of
last year was on Aug. s, when there
We're three cars handled. The daily
movement now is something like TWEEN
ty-five cars, so that it is expected that
it will not be until the last of the
month that it will have ceased alto
gether The peaches are now moving
in greatest quantities from the or
chards in the northern part of the
state.
Mr.. Hinton said that the season has
been an extraordinarily good one for
the farmers in point of prices. The net
results, he said, have been the best the
growers have experienced. The re-
turns have made up for the short crop,
in a measure.

WANT THE GROCERS.
from Tenth Page.


fit of the entire competition of the mer-
chants of this association"
A committee will be appointed by the
chairman to-day to wait upon the
Wholesale Grocers' Association.
1t was suggested that the action of
the wholesale grocers had been due to
their understanding that their proper
ton of the expenses of the proposed as
ISOLATION would be the same as that of
merchants in other lines. AS the profit
on staple groceris is slight, the whole
salers. it was said. did not consider
that they should have to bear as great
a burden as those in other lines, where
larger profits are made. AS this plan,
which was tentative, has practically
been given up, the objection, if it was
that which moved the grocers, does not
obtain.
AS Mr.. Krouskoff said that he would
be obliged to leave the city for few
weeks on business, Mr.. Rosenheir7 was
elected vice chairman of the orr aniza-
ton.

NOT DEVICES STORM.
He Cannot Lay Claim to That Which
Ragged on the Gulf.


Ragged on the Gulf.
The storm that ragged yesterday on
the Gulf coast is reported as moving
westward, into the interior. This means
that Savannah is not in danger. No
storm warnings were displayed by the
local weather bureau station yester-
day. so it is considered that there is
no need for alarm. The hurricane was
one of the West Indian products that
swept westward, taking the Gulf, in
stead of the Atlantic, route.
Weather Prophet DeVoe may smite
his chest Justify and exclaim that he
foretold the storm. 1t will be recalled
that he did say something about
West Indian storm putting in an APP
pearance this summer He was a bit
wrong in his prediction as to the direc-
ton the storm would take and the
time of its appearance.
DeVoe had it that the storm would
originate in the Indies and move up
the Atlantic coast. He had 1t scheduled
to strike Savannah about July o. That
day and many preceding and following
it had nothing to show indicative of
storm. If Mr.. DeVoe lays claim to the
terror that swept the Gulf coast as
Shliu VI his pLopiieliC power, ne VIII
have to manage in some way to recon-
cile the difference of three weeks in
time and hundreds of miles in course
between it and the disturbance that he
foretold for Savannah. Some later pre-
dictions of his may have struck the
nail on the head, but that he made at
Savannah cannot be applied to the Gulf
storm. According to Mr.. DeVoe's reas-
oning, there shold be no difference in
predictions that he might make any
time in advance as to the state of the
weather for any day within three
years.

THE FIRST NEW BALE.
Deal jackson Captured the Blue
Ribbon With a Second Shipment.


Ribbon With "A Second Shipment.
Deal Jackson, the colored Dougherty
county farmer finally captured the
blue ribbon for the first bale of the
new cotton crop, Notwithstanding the
TACT that a bale that he shipped to Sa-
vannah two weeks ago was rejected
as containing some old cotton by the
Classification Board of the Cotton Elk
change. Jackson has written letter
10 an Albany paper stoutly maintain
ing that all the cotton of the first bale
was new crop product.
When the second bale from Jackson
arrived Wednesday in time to obtain
the honor of being the first bale, it was
received by the Classification Board OF
the Cotton Exchange and was classed
as fully middling, and, in pursuance
OIL the usual CUSTOM was sold at auc-
Ton in front of the Cotton Exchange.
IL was bought at 10 cents by j. 1.
stewart & Son.
The Albany Herald, in commenting
upon the incident, says:
Thus 1t is seen that Dougherty
county gets Georgia's first bale of new
crop cotton, in spite of the fact that
the bale she put forward with that
claim some two weeks ago was turned
uoWn in Savannah as a fake. Both
these first bales were marketed by
Deal Jackson, the well-known colored
farmer of this county. The second one
was shipped to Savannah on Monday,
ana seems to have reached there In
uIne to capture the blue ribbon for the
season of 1912. 1t may here be added
mat the people of this city and sec
tlon who know Deal Jackson do not
believe that the bale he brought to
market two weeks ago, and which was
subsequently, turned down by the Sa-
nannah Cotton Exchange, was any
,Ihlng other than what he represented
1t to be-"
Both the rejected and the accepted
,ales We're received in Savannah by
Mr' p. A. Cults from the Georgia Cot
soh Company at Albany, and when the
second shipment was awarded the blue
ribbon Mr.. Cults telegraphed the It'd
'ngs to those interested at Albany.

Negro Boy Drowned in the River
While I'm a Fit.

The body of Edward Austin, a. r.
year-old negro boy, supposed to have
been a resident of South Carolina, was
fished out of the river yesterday morn
ing, and was turned over to Coroner
Keller for burial The drowning was
not reported to the coroner or at police
headquarters although 1t occurred
Wednesday evening.
Coroner Keller learned that the boy
suffered with fits, and that he fell into
the river, while in that condition. He
was perfectly helpless and as far as
is known the few wharf rats that saw
him fall made no effort to rescue him,
or even to mention the drowning to the
proper authorities. The boy was buried
in a pauper's lot at Laurel Grove Gem
eterY.

HIS DEATH YET UNsoLvED.
Coroner's Jury Will Investigate the

Coroner's Jury Will Investigate the
Demise of George screven.
The death of George Screven, the
negro who fell from an Isle of Hope
trolley car at Lang's Crossing, We'd
nesday, mention of which was made in
the Morning News, will be investigated
by the coroners jury, in the Police
Court room this morning. The inquest
will be held at the conclusion of the
one over the remains of little Clarence
Baker.
The negro's death is sort of mys-
terry and the jury will have to ascer-
tain whether his fall from the car was
fatal, or whether his sudden taking off
was due to heart disease. No wounds
or bruises were discovered on the
mans body when an examination was
made by Coroner Keller.

disastrous for the Savannah team.
Middleton, Patterson and Styles were a

GRAND CHORUS CHOIR
Fine Musical Treat at the Re-
formed Church.
THREE FINE SOL0lSTS
immense Crowd Listens to
Beautiful Caniata.

An immense audience that filed the
building and that occupied all the avail
able seating, as well as standing room of
the building. thronged tho Reformed
church last night 20 hear the fine chorus
choir Of tho church sing the annual
cantata. The cantata that was presented
this year IS the Daughter Of Jairus," and
while it has less of the catchy style OF
music than last years success it was new
ertheless well received and IS Of much
higher grade than last years compost
lion. Tho cantata was exceHcntly sung
and was a grand musical success. The
large chorus proved a revelation to many
and a surprise 10 al who heard the same
choir at last years presentation. and
who noted the very marked Improvement
of the past year. 4 choir who sang as
that Of The Reformed church did last
night, considering the degree of difficulty
of composition. deserves Unstinted praise.
The decoration OF the church was elab-
crate and certainly beautiful. Large gar
lands and festOons of oak leaves were
gracefully entwined about the fine pipe
organ extending 70 the walls OF either
side Of the ediflce. Many flags were IN
evidence, and this with q tasteful ar
rangement of palms and plants about the
front part Of the church, presented
very pretty scene. Miss Lillian Simp-
son. the chief decorator, and her assist
ants deserve compliments for the work
in this connection.
The choir was particularly fortunate in
two things; first in having especially good
