all predictions, Georgia peaches will
soon DO a feature in the English mar

The Telegraph tells OF the discovery
an the results as follows:
During tho session OF the State Horti-

was discovsssd among the exhibits OF
peaches 1T the fruit display that may
work great advantage to peach grow
ers.
Mrs. s. M. Subers OF 706 Second st.
sent down sample OF peaches that re.
ssmblsd somewhat the Elberta. Mr..
Hale, Of Fort Valley, saw the peaches.
examined them and straightway made
inquiry as to where they were grown.
Securing this information, he and one
OF his expert orchardists went out to
Mrs. Subers' place and made an examin-
alton OF the fruit.

The United States to Strive for the First
Place in This Great Industry.

years prior to the civil war represented
a greater capacity in tons, and there is
no good reason in view OF the conditions
of commerce why American shipyards
should not construct in the immediate
future mere ships with a greater ton
mage than the shipyards Of any other
nation. We possess enormous adYant-
ages. This is the era of iron and steel
constructions; and the coal and iron de-
posits of the United States are such
that this country is now the chief pro-
Queer of the raw material required In
shipbuildlpg.
Even though by the logic of natural
conditions this country is to be the Ship
building country of the world, special eff
fort must be made to reap the benefits of
our exceptional advantages. We must
bring together in a firm industrial asso-
citation the capital, energy, and skill OF
the American shipbuilders. They pos
sess actual productive experience knowl-
edge of COSTS military judgment. es-
sentials which 1 firmly believe cannot be
elsewhere matched in the world.
Every other country has bent Its en-
ergies to building up a great civil plant
apable of producing war materials.
Glance at the stupendous aggresations
of machinery and capital represented by
Krupp, Armstrong, Schneider and nu-
merous others, all fun TO overfiowing
with contracts for the very types of
ships that met defeat at Manila and
Santiago. All our shipbuilding compa-
MES under consideration are close cor
porations, largely controlled by single
families, chiefly interested in the de-
velopment of their plants, with faith In
the future of the industry. The present
efficient condition of these plants is the
result of the deliberate reinvestment of
current earnings in the acquisition Of
property and in improved machinery and
equipment. No governmental aid in sub
sides has ever been asked or received,
and yet they built the ships which won
the day at Manila and Santiago.
1t follows that II a great American
plant shall be created-as proposed by
the most enterprising of American ship
builders-composed of an aggregate Of
effective units of financial stability. COM

The least favorable response received
came from Camp HILL a little town of
700 people, where my correspondent
states that public sentiment merely pre-
fers the dispensary to the saloon. Even
in Camp Hill, however. the financial re-
port is favorable-the profits of the dis
persary being more than three times the
expense, and aggregating s25 for each
family in the village.
The town of Tuscaloosa, a place Of
about 5000 people, established a dispense
ry last January. The reports thus far

neighborhood of $4,000. 1t will be noted

also that no dispensaries have been es-
now operating them are Tuscaloosa and
Florence.
The dispensers are selected as follows:
Three names of citizens are selected by
the County Commissioners. and these
names are HANDED to the Town Council.
who select one from the three. The es-
sential features of the system are: I'm
broken packages no drinking allowed on
premises, no sales to minors. to drunk
ards, or to those under the influence OF
liquor. Some of the acts call for a re-
quirement that has proven imperative
namely, that only one sale shall be maze
to the same person In one day. The bot
ties sold are all full measure, and prices
are twenty-five per cent lower than IN
the saloons by reason Of this fact. All
sales are cash, no credit being given to
anyone.
Some of the benefits accrufng from the
system nave been increased appropria-
ton to public schools, special funds for
road improvement and other community
interests. One town has abolished city
taxation. and is using half the proceeds
of the diepensary to establish q, sewer
age system and put In water supply. So
1t will be seen that the business end
of the system Is highly satisfactory.
While this Is true, IL is equally true that
the moral life of the owns Is much bet
ter. The "bllnd tigers have been driven
out in the majority OF places. The dis
persary has no bar room attractions. Il
Is open from a. m. to p. m. If one
ants liquor 1t is there for sale, but the
liquor cannot be drunk there, and moth
ing Is done to attract trade.
There are some who oppose the dis
pensary because they say 1t Is a COM
promise with the devil. There are 9TH
ers who fight 1t because they think that
the rural portions should share equally
with the towns. At present every dis
peBsary is required to pay into the coun-
ty treasury an amount equal to the
amount previously paid by saloons, il sa-
looms existed prior to the new system.
In my home town there is one signifi-
cent fact A millinery store is conduct
ed next door to the dispensary. by C
widow, and not a word or complaint has
ever been heard. The owner some years
to q saloon.
Alabama Is Just taking hold of the dis
pensary system. The experimental stage
is now practically passed. Those towns
that have tried the system two years
or more are so well pleased that no other
system is thought of. 1t is admit ed that
the local dispensary can be used as
political football, but this danger has
so far been guarded against In this state
and the indications are that many towns
will establish dlspensaries when the next
General Assembly meets.

The DispenSary System in Alabama

The first agitation of the dispensary
question IN Alabama, a state which has
been slow to take hold OF innovations
came about through the desire of conser-
yative thinkers, enthusiastic workers
and faithful adherents to the prohibition
cause to effect some reformation IN the
handling Of the liquor traffic. The
leader of the forces was Senator Frank
S. Moody of Tuscaloosa, who introduced
a bill to give certain counties the priv
ilege of establishing dIspensaries. The
reception of the measure was not en-
couraglng to its supporters. However,
1t received greater support than was ex-
pected at first. Many good men feared
that we would have a repetition of the
troubles experienced in South Carolina
To many it carried with 1t the idea Of
the State going into the liquor business,
and this was Repayment. To others 1t
looked like compromise with the devil.
Some predicted that It would grow into
a powerful political machine which would
weifd an influence for evil. The actual
operations of the system since It's estab-
liskment in certain towns have proven
that all these fears were groundiess.
The dispensary system in Alabama
does not cover the entire State. Each
town Ut city is given the privilege of
voting on the question. Local. option
governs N this matter. It has been the
rule of the dominant party in the state
for years to let each locality decide for
Itself, and the party still adheres to this
plan.
The writer has submitted the follow
ing questions to reliable persons in many
of the towns which have established the
System:
l. How Ions has the dispensary been
in operation?
2. What are the running expenses?
g. What is the public sentiment con-
corning 1t?
a. Has crime decreased?
5. Is.there less liquor drank?
6. What are the profits per year?
I. Has 1t gotten into local or county
politics?
s. Has it the moral backing of the best
people?
The following replies are typical:

For years the lack of symmetry and
historical Significance in the arrange
ment of the stars on the blue field OF our
national flag has been a subject of COM
ment among observing patriots. Four
teen years ago ]. r. Stahlnecker of. Sill
verton, Col, commenced working out the
idea, but never arrived at a satisfactory
solution until recently, when a design
was evolved, and the question Of its
adoption will be brought before congress.
President Mckinley examined the
scheme end became much Interested in
it, expressing a hope that the change
might be made during his administration,
but some delay occurred in having a bill
introduced at the last session.
1t was a work requiring more thought
and study than at first appears. With
given number of stars, to get a design
that would commemorate the greatest
number of events in the history of the
country and yet secure a symmetrical
and artistic effect, was the task Mr..
Schumacher set for himself.
The center group Of thirteen stars rep
resents in his flag the thirteen original
states at the close of the revolution or
at the time Of the adoption Of the con-
stitution. The outer circle Of twenty
three stars represents the states admit
ted between that time and the close Of
the civil war. The great seal of the
United States is represented by the GEN.
ter group Of thirteen and encircling
wreath of twenty-three.
1t is intended that these three great
features shall not be changed. The first
event brought the flag into existence;
the second the admission Of twenty-three
more states and the civil war made the
life of the nation doubly secure; the
third the representation Of the great seal
of the United States is regarded as APP
propriate
The stars outside the circle of twenty
three represent the states admitted into
the union after the close Of the OWL war
in 1895 to the Spanish war In 1898. This
