DEMOCRATS TO
MAKE A FIGHT
REPUBLICANS SEEM DETER
MINED TO BACK UP CRUMP-
BAcKER SECTIONAL BILL.
DEMOCRATS DETERMINED TO DE-
FEAT THE PROPOSED MEAS
URE, If POSSIBLE.

Washington, March 19.-Since the
republican leaders have determined to
force through the Crumpacker resolu-
ton for an investigation of the suf-
frage question as its affects the south
ern representation in the house, 1t has
become clearly evident that this move
oil the majority means a repetition
the old Force bill fight and revival
of the sectional bitterness OF recon-
struction days.
The supporters OF the measure have
made no concealment OF their desire
TO utilize 1t for purely partisan ends.
This is particularly true of certain
western representatives who seek to
lsoldify the negro voters in their dis
trict. Conservative republicans, such
as Cannon, at first arrayed themselves
stoutly against any such legislation,
and the speaker himself took but
pei 1unctory interest in the proposition
and only ceased when a policy of CON
ciliation became necessary on ac-
count of the row over the Cuban
tariff
The democrats VIII fight the reso-
tuition vigorously, beginning with the
presentation OF the rule of the house.

hesitate to go even to greater eX-
tremes to insure control of the house
in the next congress. The democrats
will probably consider their plan of
action in caucus tomorrow night and
it is said they may agree to stop the
regular procedure of the house by
lfliibustering.
the sudden change in the attitude
of the republicans toward this resolu-
ton is regarded as full of significance,
coming as it does at a time when the

MAY HAVE
NO FRUIT
PROBABLE THAT THE COLD
HAS DONE CONSIDERABLE
DAMAGE.

viii we have any lruit in south
Georgia this year?
That IS the question thousands are
asking and which various persons are
va1iously answering.
Mondays cold may have caused
some damage to blooming peach, pear
and plum trees, but it is not thought
that the temperature fell low enough
to produce, in itself, any serious
damage. The trees had been in
their spring garb for a sufficient
length OF time to enable the blooms to
pass from the tender stage of their
first existence, and it is believed that
they were quite tough enough to
Withstand last nights mild freeze.
But there is another factor which
must be taken into consideration in
figuring on the prospects of a fruit
crop, and that is the severe rains of
a few days ago.
Fruit men are of the opinion that
the steady downpours OF Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday last came just at
a time when great damage to peach
and pear prospects was Inevitable.
They believe that the pollen was
washed from all blossoms. and that
therefore a fruit crop is impossible.
The pollen is the yellow dust We
see deep down in the anther OF a
blossom 1t is the formulating ele
ment in plant life, and is thrown out
of one bloom to float through the air
and settle in another Without it, a
blossom will never produce fruit OF
seed.
1t Is argued, and not without reason
that the recent hard and continued
rains robbed all truit blooms OF the
pollen, and that we will therefore have
no fruit in this section this year Ot
course it will require some time tc
determine just how well grounded
these fears are, but that they have
some founoation in fact is not to be
doubted. Letus hope, however, that
the case is not as bad as many per
Sons fear.

THAT POTTS TELEGRAM.

Still the Topic in Political Cir
cles.
Atlanta, March ls.-That letter
which Mr.. Berner wrote Mr.. Guerry
is still the taiK in political circles.
MIR Guerry has not yet made the cor
rectlon asked for by Mr. Berner. but it
is understood that he sa7d tnat ne De-
lieyes that Mr.. Berner had absolutely
no connection with the telegram, ana
did not know of the existence of such
a telegram until some time after ne
senatorial convention, which was in
session In Forsyth, adjourned. And
it may be that he will make sucn {;
statement in his next speech which
will be at Cumming, in Forsyth coun-
ty, perhaps today or tomorrow.
1t is said that Mr.. Berner objects to
the word "TTn6n" whicn appeared in
Mr., Guerry's card Saturday. The
sentence is as follows IAN of this
information / feel that l have a right
to use not only as an opposing can
didate of Mr. Terrell, but as a citizen
OF Georgia and Of the Twenty-second
senatorial district. and especially, as
an active participant in the Bibb
county democratic meeting referred to,
taking the part | did in it, and | then
thought in Mr. Berner's cause and in
the cause OF right and correct poll
tics"
All efforts to get statement from
Mr.. Berner have failed. 1t is being
told around that he is simply wait
ing for the correction asked for, aAd
in the event he does not hear from
such correction he may participate
in captains fight" as is called by
Mr.. Guerry. Mr.. Potts, the author OIL
the telegram referred to, still declines
to be interviewed on tn subject, and
at the Terrell headquarters no state
ment will be made.
Mr.. Guerry may dwell on the sub
ject some more before he closes his
campaign. He seems to have his in
formation pretty straight and he has
not hesitated SO far to give his views
on the subject Mr. Guerry says that
he is well pleased with his campaign
so far, and that he is receiving every
encouragement from the voters of the
state. lie intends going into every
county in Georgia before the end OF
the campaign saw Mr.. Guerry and
his campaign manager, w. f. Blue,
in Macon Sunday, and both seemed
confident that Mr.. Guerry would be
elected. Mr.. Guerry says he is stand
ing the campaign very well, and that
he is enjoying unusually good health.
