Salt Company of which d. E. Skinner is
president, was convicted of maintaining a
monopoly contrary to the Sherman anti
trust law
When the case was opened counsel for
the corporation withdrew its original plea
OF not guilty and pleaded guilty to the
first count of the indictment.
Judge De Haven will pronounce sentence
on Thursday.
The maximum fine is 5000. This case
marks the first conviction under the Sher-
man law, which went into effect in 1892.
The attorney generals office won civil
suit last fall before Judge Morrow against
the same company on the same evidence.
The successful termination of that suit
abolished the contracts the Federal Salt
Company held.
The Federal Salt Company was organized
in New Jersey in 1900 1t established
business in California and quickly secured
a monopoly of the product on the coast,
raising the price from 81 and 81 a ton to
$50 and $50.

GOOD BYE TO FRUIT;
CROP IS A FAILURE.
In Opinion of Entomologist
Scott.
GOOD PROSPECT AT AMERlcus
Crop In North Georgia A Total Fail
ure as Result of Recent Freeze
Large Percentage of Buds Killed at
Fort Valley Prospect Here.

While the peach orchards about
Americas do not appear to haye sus-
tanned serious injury from the recent
freeze it is fact, according to State
Entomologist Scott, that the crop of
the state was badly injured. In north
Georgia, he says, the entire crop is q
total wreck and not an orchard there
will yield crate of peaches.
His statement is the result of per-
sonal investigation and reports from
the peach growing counties of the nor
thern part of the state.
Regarding the situation around Fort
Valley and MarshallvilIe, particularly
in peach growing counties south of
there, he said the situation was much
more hopeful, and that while a large
majority of buds were destroyed by
the recent freeze, there are enough
left to afford a fair crop, provided there
are no further disasters.
In the Fort Valley and Marshall.
vile section, Mr.. Scott said, the re
ports show that about so to 80 per cent
of the buds of the Bell of Georgia, one
of the main varieties, were killed.
The loss of the Elbertas was not so
great, being about rs per cent.
The situation in the south Georgia
peach growing districts, according to
Mr.. Scott, is much more hopeful,
though great deal of damage was
done here However, there are
enough buds left in most cases to
afford fair sized crop in case there is
no more severe weather and the usual
enemies of the peach can be held in
check.
In many of the orchards about
Americas the buds do not appear to
have been injured to any great extent.
