RATES ARE BEING FOUGHT
Royal ArCanum Councils Are Banding

Representative of twentY-nine coun-
ellis of the Royal Arcanum in New
Jersey, including nearly all of the
organizations of that order in the
counties of Essex, Union, Assaic,
Hudson and Bergen, have formed a
permanent organization with the idea
of opposing the new rate schedule
adopted at Atlantic City by the
supreme council.
A resolution was adopted without a
dissenting vote demanding the grand
council of New Jersey to petition the
supreme council to reconvene before
October l, the date on which the new
rates go into effect. and abandon that
schedule. A committee of fifteen will
be appointed to carry on the fight.
1t is generally agreed by the dis
senters that to strengthen the finances
an additional assessment, at the old
rates, might be made at stated Pc

Thomas Jefferson Was Originator of
This Invaluable Farm Animal.
1t is not generally known that,
among his many claims to fame,
Thomas Jefferson was the originator
of the mule in America. He it was who
brought about the first cross in Vir-
ginia which, by subsequent multiple
cation, introduced to posterity the in
valuable farm animal whose labor has
done so much to bring about the mar
velous agricultural development OF
the United States. While they are
building so many monuments, why not
one to the mule? Many men have
been honored in sculpture whose
services to the country and claims
upon its gratitude are not so great as
that of "the useful animal, which has
neither pride Of ancestry nor hope OF
posterity.'

GEORGIA PEACHES ARE DISAPPOINTING THIS SEASON
Says the liberia Has Not Shown Up Well
Demand Account of the Poor Quality

According to the Fruit Trade Jour
nal and Produce Record, of recent
date, the Georgia peach crop this
season is a disappointment to the
trade in New York. The Journal and
Record says:
1.-THE south Georgia peach crop is
now at its height, receipts in this
market having started out at sixty
carloads last Monday.
The fruit is almost entirely Elbertas
now, although few of the Belle OF
Georgia variety also are arriving.
"Since the season has reached its
height and the Elberta, the best of the
Georgia crop, has gotten well under
way, receivers are forced 10 admit
the truth of what they feared while
the early varieties were coming in
that the south Georgia peach crop is
disappointment this year. Early
varieties were uniformly poor in
quality, but everyone hoped that when
the prime of the crop began to arrive
the story would be different. But
such has not been the case: In fact,
never were Elbertas as poor as this
season. The fruit is all more or less
green. Sometimes half peach will
be green; and then again only a green
spot; but when opened almost invari-
bly, worm is found, and the flavor OF
the fruit is more like that of the Cali

THE VALUE of VACATIONS.

Railway officials and tourist man
ayers estimate that New York city
spends $50, 100000 annually on vaca-
tions. Reference to the summer resort
pages of the metropolitan newspapers
shows that vacation season is fairly
begun. All the resorts within reach of
the people of New York are filing up
with all classes of people, except those
who are too stingy or too poor to enc
JOY an outing. The New York World
says that "most of this money is we'll
invested. 1t equips a standing army
of industry with health, wider vision
and things to be lived over again"

fornia peach which has to be shipped
green, than of the lucious Georgia
alberta.
cit was hoped when the Elbertas
began to arrive the market would be
established on a fairly profitable ba-
sis to those who have brought fruit,
but in this the trade was disappointed
on account of the poor quality of the
fruit. All this week prices rulediSl. Is
top for the best Elbertas until Thurs
day, when, with a decided falling off
in receipts, prices advanced rs cents.
"The demand has been very limi-
ted all the week on account of the in
ferior quality of the fruit. Unques-
tiOnably had the peaches satisfied the
trade the amount which have arrived
would have been taken readily at sat-
isfactory prices.
eff the bulk of the south Georgia
crop was bought this year, as is re-
ported, unquestionably there have
been heavy losses in the business.
Merchants here however, say they are
getting the fruit on commission, and
with large quantity coming, even at
the lower prices, commission mer-
chants say they are having a fair sea-
son. The south Georgia peach lesson
however, should be very impressive to
those who have purchased the stock.
1t is the old story of a short crop,
but minus high prices"

ICE MAN HAS HIS DAY.

Ice handlers in New York have al
lied themselves with the weather, and
the result is the greater discomfort of
sweltering humanity. The handlers,
who sling the ice from the rear of the
wagons, said they were not paid
enough for the work they were doing,
so they are on strike. They say its no
fun being the iceman. In addition to
the work they have to do, they have
to "suffer the sings and arrows" of
the termagant housewives who quarrel
constantly because their ice is or
looks to be short in weight

MALONEY FELL 5000 FEET.
Thrilling Spectacle Witnessed in Mid
air When AerOnaut Fell to
His Death.

Daniel Maloney, who had made nu-
merous successful ascensiOns with
Prof. Montgomery's aeroplane, fell
three thousand feet to his death at
Santa Clara, Cal.
Maloney made an ascension from
the grounds of the Santa Clara college.
About 1000 people watched with inter
est the machine as it shot upward
from the college garden, attached to
a huge balloon.
At height of 1000 feet Maloney cut
loose from the balloon and began ma
nreuvering the aeroplane. He sailed
gracefully about, then essayed a deep
dip. Suddenly the machine swerved,
hesitated and then turned over. II
righted itself, sank down a consider
able distance and turned over again.
Maloney was clinging desperately to
his seat and evidently endeavoring to
to regain control of the aeroplane,
but all his efforts were in vain.
Again the aeroplane turned in the air,
the wings came together and the man
anu the machine plunged straight
downward while the Mortified specta'
tors gazed helplessly. A number o
cadets carried him to the college hos
pital. His scull was fractured anc
blood was flowing from his ears and
mouth. He died within a short time.
The aeroplane was demolished.

MAY HAVE DISPENSARY.
Question Will Soon Be Submitted to
Randolph County People.


Randolph County People.
1t looks now as though an election
on the dispensary question will soon
occur in Randolph county. The bill
giving the citizens of the county the
right to vote for dispensaries was
favorably reported by the committee,
and on Saturday passed the house.
There is little doubt that the senate
will pass it,
It is therefore up to the prohibition
lists of this county to prepare for a
campaign. The dispensary advocates
seem confident that they can carry the
county by a large majority. but the
prohibitionists have not given up
hope. The probability is that we shall
see lively campaign. Such elections
usually stir up bad feelings, and for
this reason we regret that the question
of dispensaries has been agitated.

PANAMA BOASTS EVERYBODY.
Yet 1t Does Not Seem to Be Without
Attractions.


Panama roasts everybody there and
is literally roasted in return, both by
those who swelter in its humidity and
by those in this country and elsewhere
who have one reason or another to re-
greet that the Creator did not make the
isthmus too wide for canal purposes.
Yet it does not seem to be without it's
attractions. 1t is an old maid para
disc. So potent is the moon, as it
sheds its tropical glow over the just
and unjust, that none can Withstand
it's influence. 1t strikes to the heart,
and the arrows of cupid are aided by
it to work dreadful execution. The eli
mate, it is declared, forbids all more
violent forms of exercise, and MAX
ing love is the most popular pursuit.
The hospitals in Panama, it seems,
are but training schools for matri-
mOny, and young women are grad
uated into married life so rapidly that
it is difficult to fill their places.

May Abolish Government Reports

merchants, among the Oldest and

that the reports are inaccurate and
secured at an expense out of all pro-

is directed largely against the cotton
reports, but also comprises other
crops.
The strongest opponents of the pres

ranks of the cotton men, bulls and
bears and spinners' representatives
alike expressing the opinion that at
best the government reports are only
estimates and that they are of no real
benefit to the farmers of the country.
