ATLANTA, June 29.-Another frdica-
ton OF the great scarcity OF lab1r in
Georgia. and this applies especially 10
the agricultural districts. is found IN
the annual report or the State Prison
Commission. which IS now being pre-

Farmers Paying Out Convicts.
This report. which IS based on June I.
SHOWS that there has been q decrnass
OF fully 10 per cent in the number Of

the fact that there has been an increase
among the felony convicts.
The explanation Of this IS that ovyins

Result of a Crap Game.

Charles Washington. Alex. Carter and
Frank Brent were having crap game, it
is alleged, on Virginia avenue southwest
yesterday morning, and Washington and
Carter were arraigned in Police Court to-
day upon an information alleging that
they assaulted Brent.
Brent took the stand and told Judge Mills
that the men started trough house" after
he had won their money, and that during
the melee which followed they assaulted
and beat him severely. Later he had ap-
peared at the fourth precinct station and
asked Policeman Reinhard to arrest them.
When placed on the stand Carter admit
ted that he assaulted Brent, but alleged he
had been hit first. He swore Brent
"snatched upon him. after he had won the
money at stake in the game, and under the
rules he thought he had perfect right
to regain the money If he could.
Washington said he was only trying to
separate the other two men, but Brent said
Washington nearly broke his back.
At the conclusion of the testimony Judge
Mills said Washington could go, but that
Carter would have to pay fine of $40 or
spend ten days in Jail in default

DRASTIC REMEDIAL MEASURES
Action Necessary to Save West vir-
gfnia Peach Crop.

Peculiar conditions affecting the peach
crop In many sections of West Virginia
are giving the farmers and others interest
ed In the fruit growing industry in that
state much concern. In many Of the Or
chards throughout the state the peach trees
are infected with the 'yellows." q disease
which causes the leaves to turn yellow
and the fruit to ripen prematurely, The
trt uble Is especially pronounced and wide
spread in Berkeley county and a meeting
of the Berkeley Horticultural Society has
been called for the latter part Of this
me nth to consider the situation.
Information from Berkeley is to the ef-
feet that unless drastic remedial measures
are at once adopted the heavy peach
crop Of the county will be totally destroy
ed; This state Of affairs is said to be not
only due to the ''yellows," but also to what
Is commonly called brown rot" a mys-
terious affection thought to be caused by
protracted hot and wet weather.. The
rapidity Of this disease is such that the
fruit OF an orchard, after just reaching the
condition of maturity, will rot before 1t
car be gathered If the least delay in that
work occurs. Plums are affected in the
same way.
Particular attention, however. is being d.
rected to the peach ''yellows." which is the
more serious proposition. 1t not only
causes the fruit to ripen too early, but it
changes the free-stone peaches into very
poor clng-stones.
The only known remedy, 1t is stated in
which there Is any reliance to be placed Is
to cut down the trees and burn them imme-
diately after discovering the infection.
While this necessarily destroys a good por
ton of the orchards in most cases, it pre-
vents the further spread Of the infection.
1t is declared that If the growers would
burn every affected tree in their orchards
and not plant any new ones for at least
two years, the damage to the industry
would be greatly lessened. After that, ac-
cording to the plan proposed, new trees
could be planted Nth prospects for a sat
isfactory yield In this connection 1t is
pointed out that there is a state law which
may be invoked to-compel the destruction
of all diseased trees
