Americas is not as large a city as
Athens, perhaps, nor has she "a many

been applied for, and plant will be
established for the manufacture of car

PERHAPS HALF PEACHES DEAD.
Injury to Fruit and Cotton Is
Considerable.

According to reports from all sections
of the state, the Georgia peach and
other fruit crops, particularly the wa
termelons, have suffered severely from
the recent winds and cold. Many con-
slider that the effect will be to cut
down the fruit crop one.half, while
others take more hopeful view. The
loss of half the peach crop, would
mean the loss Of more than half mil
lion dollars to the state. About 40 to
so per cent. of the young cotton, which
was above ground is reported killed,
though not Tgreat deal of the crop
had reached that stage.

NOT AN APPLICANT
FOR ENDORSEMENT WAS POST
 MASTER ALTHEiMER.
His Term Does Not Expire Till June 1902, and He May Have Strong
 Opposition.
Opposition.

1t was generally noticed here and elsewhere that MT. Louis Altheimers name did not appear in the list of postmasters who were endorsed by the Republican state committee at it's meeting in Little Rock fer re-appoint- ment He says that he was not an applicant before the committee for endorsement, as his commission does not expire until June 1902. It is thought that MT. Altheimer will have strong opposition for the position when his term expires, although he may not apply for reappointment. It is being stated in local Republican cir cles just now that Ferd Havis, who opposed Mr. Altheimer three years ago, will be one of the many aspir- year.
 MT Altheimer refused to be inter- viewed about the meeting of the com mittee and would say very little re garding it's results. He was in favor of Ben F. Foreman, of Texarkana in the race for the United States mar shalship for this district, and was very much disappointed that Foreman did not win out but he didn't have the support of Col. Powell Clayton, the Republican boss, and his opponent, J. F. Stahl, captured the prize for the second time
 It was generally conceded by Re publieans all over the state that Mir Foreman was a winner. When they met at Little Rock, however, the in f1uence of Gen. Clayton was brought forth in the interest of Stahl, and, as usual, Clayton's favorite won.
 Ferd Havis, a local negro Republi- can, who was the other committee man from this city, was with the Foreman forces before he left here. but after arriving at Little Rock, he jumped into the Stahl band wagon.

Feast of the Passover.

The Jewish feast of Pesach or Pass over begins on next Wednesday even ing at o'clock and lasts for one week. Brief services will be conduct ed at the temple by Rabbi J. s. Korn- field. The regular Passover services will De held at the temple Thursday morning at 10 o'clock by Rabbi Korn- field and assisted by Rabbi F. Becker. This is one of the most important ser vices held at the temple each year and the public is invited to attend.
 The feast of the Passover is observ- ed to commemorate the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt under the lead ership of Moses. These seven days of feasting is familiarly known to the Jewish people as the feast of unleav- ened bread, for unleavened bread is eaten in token of the nasty flight of the Israelitcs from Egypt when Moses redeemed them from slavery. It is the Jewish festival of liberty and be- cause the feast symbolizes this idea as basic to the whole system of Judaism, it is still observed.
 Owing to the very nclement wealth CT which prevailed on Friday even- ing, there were no services at the Jewish temple. The Pulpits Place in Politics. the sermon to have been preached by Dr. Kornfeld on that oc- casion, will be the subject of his dis course next Friday evening"
