BUSINESS NOTES

While the big storm of the early
part OF the week did some damage to
the small fruit trees, it gave an enor-
nous boom to the farming districts of
the west where grain and sugar beets
are under cultivation, and the I'M
proved reports from the fields have had
a good effect in business circles; the
Ctah-Idaho, the Amalgamated and the
Lewiston Sugar stocks are stronger
than they have been for some time
past Several large blocks of the for
mers preferred stock changed hands
at $S45 and a small lot sold at $3.50.
Lewiston has steadily risen Of late
weeks. Others in the list run strong,
with the principal demand for Home
Fire, Consolidated Wagon preferred
and Z. c. NJ. l., very few transactions
in these, however, being reported. The

HARDWARE.

The hardware trade reports general
business this month about the same as
that for May OF 1907. The situation is
good and what makes the trade hope
full especially IS the steady resumption
Of the mining machinery trade, show
ing that the prospectors are spreading
out again, and the camps are livening
up. The demand for harnesses and
harness hardware, and saddlery Is
highly encouraging, as is the demand
for automobile and bicycle sundries,
which is steadily increasing. The call
for paints, oils. glass and varnishes is
strong and continuous, paint brushes
being also included in this category.
Trade is better than people generally

is nhannmenal.

1t was not the life insurance com
pany that failed, but an agency com
pany, subsidiary concern used TO
promote or sell insurance of the Great
Western Life Insurance company, and
also the stock of the agency company.
1t appears from the Associated Press
dispatch that the interests in the two
companies are Interchangeable. There
fore the conclusion may be drawn that
companies so intimately connected are
subject to the same ultimate ends. 1t
is to be hoped, however. that this will
not be the case in this particular in
stance. History repeats itself" and
modern prodigies are not lacking at
the present time in the life insurance
world.

it will be done.

Seaboard and Southern
Failure to Connect at Helena
to be Heard by Com
missioners!

The railroad commission of Geor-
gia has set October 8 as a date for
the hearing on the complaint of GER,
tain south Georgia citizens that the
failure Of the morning trains of the
Seaboard and the Southern to make
connection at Helena is depriving
them of the service to which they
are entitled.
The patrons living along the line
of the Seaboard between Helena
and Columbus and in the territory
served by that line have asked for
a hearing. They will urge the rail
road commission to order such a
change in the schedule as will per-
nit the connection to be made.
Chairman McLendon has called
for full hearing on October 8, ut
10 O'Clock, and has notified the
people making the complaint, and
also the Southern and Seaboard
accordingly.
The trouble is this: The South
ern, which leaves Atlanta about
midnight with passengers and mail
from Cincinnati, Chicago and all
points northwest of Atlanta, reach
es Helena at 5:45 a. m.
The westbound train of the Sea-
board leaves Helena at5:1O, orjust
thirty five minutes before the arri-
val of the Southern. The people in
a number of south Georgia counties
have complained that they are thus

Christian Church State
Convention Coming
to Fitzgerald.

At a meeting of the Business
League yesterday Pastor Holling
worth of the Christian Church
stated that the State Convention
of his church had been set for No.
vember 9th, 10th, and 18th, at
Augusta, but in view of the dis
asterous floods and unsanitary
conditions consequent thereto,
that the church authorities had
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of
changing the place of holding the
convention, and he was requested
by the Business League to invite
the Convention to Fitzgerald with
the assurance that the 150 dele
gates would be cared for by the
Christian people of the city.
Mr.. Hollingworth stated that
Fitzgerald had been mentioned
and he stated that there was little
doubt about their acceptance Of
the invitation.
On motion duly carried, the chair
appointed, E. N Davis, L. Ken
needy and L. O. Tisdel as a COM
mittee on a part of the League
to co operate with the church
people to find homes for the
visitors. Fitzgerald can easily
take care of $50 preachers and we
are enclined to feel that the pleas
ure and profit is all ours.

County Exhibit
At State FaiI

The Business League yesterda
took definite action on The mattG
of county exhibit at the State Fan
A letter from Congressman elec
Hughes was read before the meet
ing and without dissenting VOTE
1t was agreed that Ben Hill mus
be represented with a splendid
agriculture exhibit at the Stat
Fair. Mr.. D. B. Null was appoint
ed to cooperate with the Secretar
of the Business League in the mat
ter of soliciting and collecting agri
culture exhibit and they are alreay
at work on the matter and every
member of the League is a com
mitee of one to assist the secretary
and Mr.. Null in bringing togethe1
creditable display of agricultural
products and every farmer in the
county is invited and expected to
CO operate in the undertaking.
Ben Hill has the material for 3
creditable exhibit but the fact that
we have never had an exhibit Of
the kind at any fair makes the
proposition much more difficult
than it would ordinarily be. But We
wanteveryfriend of the propositions
and that ought to include every
good citizen in the county, to feel
that they are expected to give the
movement encouragement and the
committee assistance and use this
paper in any way possible to assist
in the matter.
