ing shipped to London at a rate
of 81 per 100 pound, that charge
covering both rail and ocean
freights The rate across the con-
tinent to American cities is ST.. 25

rate to London is said to be much
lower than the rate allowed Flori-
da, giving California oranges a
decided advantage over Florida
in the London market. But if the
Londoners are wise with respect
tc the flavor Of fruits, they should
be willing to pay a great deal
more for Florida oranges-the
finest in the world. But that is
no reason for a discrimination

According to the figures of Sec
rotary Wilson the three greatest
crops of the country are corn, hay
and cotton, in the order named,
the hay crop being worth $780,.
100000 more than the cotton
crop. In connection with this
statement the query is natural
why do we not raise more hav in
the South? Is there any good
reason? We do not believe there
is. In this section four or five
cuttings year may be made from
a hay field, yet we annually buy

from the North and West where

so favorable as they are here. The

consumes. Savannah News.

industries of Cobb county. He
has about $50 acres planted in

This is Mr.. Dobbs first official
position, he having never before
this striven for any Office, though
for twenty years he has been
prominently identified with the
politics of Marietta and Cobb
county. In almost every election
during this time he has taken &C.
tive part on one side or the other,
his intense loyalty to his friends
impelling him to place his SER
vices at their disposal whenever
they needed help.
His personal popularity is at
tested by the fact that he won
out in the mayoralty primary by
one of the largest majorities eyer
secured in a municipal election in
this city. He defeated Hon. NJ.
L. McNeel, another prominent
business man of Marietta, by a
majority of 139 out of a total vote
