crop, has now been signed up with the
Georgia Fruit exchange, and under the
management of l. NJ Fleming, formerly
southeastern agent of the Armour car
lines, that organization is preparing to be-
gin active operations, looking to the dis
tribution of next years output.
1t is q divided in order to make the or
ganization effective that signatures of 60
per cent of the producers, based on last
seasons crop. must first be secured 1t is
believed that this result will be attained
at the meetings to be held this week at
Grays Forsyth, Griffin. Bolingbroke To-
raine, Macon, Augusa, Warthen and
Waynesboro, and as there Is still consid-
cradle more territory TO be covered, there
is promise of 70 per cent or more of the
growers coming into the movement.
The marketing of next seasons crop OF
Georgia peaches will be absolutely in the
hands of Mr. Fleming, who will be re
sponsible for the results The growers
who have gone>into the arrangement feel
confident that they have good thing ana
that next seasons crop, no matter what
its size will as a result Of Judicious

CASES OF RABIES
ON THE INCREASE

Atlanta. December 1.tSpecial)--
would appear that Georgia has an epidem-

During the past week from one to three
cases a day have been brought to the
state board for Pasteur treatment, and
these come from all parts of the state,
from Augusta, Elberton, Rome, Dalton,
vienna, Atlanta and other points, in wide
" separated sections.
There are now about 30 cases under
treatment by the state board, and the
number is increasing almost every day.
It requires q days to complete the treat
ment In practically every one of these
cases examination of the head of the ami
NAL which inflicted the dangerous bite
has been examined and hydrophobia in
lection was found
The state board of health has likewise
just completed its preparations for sup
plying diphtheria antitoxin wherever il
may be needed. For this purpose it has
secured two horses which were inocu-
lated about Eve months ago, and in these
tile antitoxin is developed These will
be bed within a few days for the purpose
of securing the diphtheria serum. They
are bled bout every 10 days or two weeks
and about a gallon of the serum is Sc
cured at each operation, from which the
animals experience no serious i'll effects.

Y. NC. 4. Squad Sh0h,ing
Unusually Fine form

The team which will represent the Bir-

ton is preparing for the opening of the
Southern league on December II. The
squad is made up of 12 of the most cap
able, energetic young fellows in the gym
nasium, and they are playing phenomenal
games three nights every week.
Members of the association are enthusi-
astic over the prospects. The team will
be composed of all-round stars, and is
going into the fight for the highest honors
in the south with a determination to win.
They will have the backing of every
member, and the class of basketball
which is being put up will attract large
crowds to the exhibition games.
To the Y. NJ. C. A. squad was given the
honor of opening the newly formed South
ern league. Much will depend upon this
first game, as Montgomery is in the field
with a heavy squad, and both teams will
