Consideration of the new financial
bill prepared by the Republican mem
bers of the Finance Committee and in

portunity to consider 1t.

tee deposits n national banks: a re-
quirement that the reserves Of banks be
kept ia their own vaults up 10 the legal
limit ia actual lawful money, and that
banks shall pay interest on Govern
meut funds deposited with them.
While there Is no disposition on the
part Of the Republicans TO make a par
usan question out Of the bill, It is quite
probable that these amendments VIII
be voted down, and the. measure re-
ported In it's original form. although
gage railroad bonds as security Tor
emergency circulation may be stricken

ECHO Of FIGHT
IN HOUSE TODAY

There was al echo of the Late fist
fight between Representative John
Sharp Williams and Representative De
Almond on the floor Of the House to-
day, when the bitter feeling between
the two men became clearly apparent.
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader,
had Just agreed to the adoption OF the
special rule brought in by the Repub-
leans governing consideration Of the
new bills for the revision of the laws
Mr.. De Almond then arose and ad-
dressed the Speaker. Mr.. Williams, who
had control OF the allotment Of time
on the Democratic side, was asked by
the Speaker if he yielded the floor TO
the gentleman from Missouri"
It was here that Mr Williams re
fused TO call Mr.. De Almond gen
tleman." Instead of referring to him
as the gentleman from Missouri" he
said:
u yield 10 Mr.. De Almond OF Mis-
souri,"
This was a distinct departure from
the parliamentary rules.
Mr.. De Almond then made a speech
against acceptance of the Republican
rule which Mr.. Williams had favored,
but the body Of the Democrats We're
with Mr.. Williams, and Mr. De Almond
got only few votes against the rule.

THE MAKING OF NEW COUNTIES

The Augusta Herald in endorsing
the attitude of the Recorder
with regard to the continued creation
of new counties, says:
Our state has now 146 counties,
more than any other state except
Texas, which is more than four
times as large as Georgia. When
our present state constitution was
adopted there were 1877 counties, and
for many years there was a let-up to
the marking of new counties. Then
four years ago a new county" cpl
demic seized the state. 1t became the
absorbing question in the legislature.
There was log-rolling and political
trading world without end among the
various new county champions and
there was disappointment galore,
when it was finally decided to allow
the creation Of only eight, among the
disappointed aspirants.
But the fatal act had been COM
mitted The bars had been let
down, and there is a continual press
ing for the gap. Since then already
one additional new county has slip
ped in, and now a whole herd is
clustered outside trying to get
through the gap. The only way to
stop it will be to put up the bars, with

Opportunity for Georgia vineyards
ATLANTA Constitution

Owners of Georgia vineyards, since
the enactment of the state prohibition
law. have been endeavoring TO ind a
profitable means of disposing OF their
product, a large part of which, here
fofore has been manufactured into
domestic wines.
The prohibition law went to the
extent of prohibiting the manufacture
of domestic wines from grapes or
other fruit grown within the state,
and since grapes in their natural
state or not so easily marketable as
harder fruits, which keep for a
longer time, owners of large orchards.
in some instances, are finding dill
Guilty in working out the problem.
The Constitution has had several
injuries along this line, recent
one coming from Pulaski county,
where the owner of a fifteen-acre
VINEYARD had been accustomed to
making 1000 to 5000 gallons of wine
each year. an industry which the
state had recognized up to the en-
actment of the prohibition law, by
exenrpting it from the usual tax.
Solution of the problem which now
confronts the Georgia grape growers
lies in the manufacture of unferment-
ed grape juice, a product for which
there is an extensive and growing
market
Here is matter which the state
agricultural department might well
take up. Owners of vineyards are
undoubtedly anxious for information
which will enable them to install the
proper plant and apply the proper
methods for converting the grapes in
to the marketable product.
There is scarcely a soda fountain
or soft drink establishment in the
country where unfermented grape
crane Juice is not on sale, and more
than that. it is in demand. 1t is
often prescribed by physicians and
finds important place in the hospital
and the sick room. 1t is whole
some. paltable and healthful drink
which is enjoyed alike by sick ano
we'll
The making of unfermented grape
juice is a comparatively new industry
and as the public becomes familiar
with its vaule as a beverage and
often, as a remedy, consumption viii
increase and the demand for it.
There is no dougt that Georgia
could well and proftably add this tt
its other many and important indus
tries, and find a ready sale for ev
cry gallon manufactured.
Perhaps the agricultural depart
ment is already possessed of the re
quisite information to furnish in
struction in the matter of manufac
turing this product If not, it will
no doubt, be glad to procure i
promptly and lend what encourage
ment it can to the proper marketable
conversion of the grape.

HANDLING THE PEACH CROP

One problem which is presented
by the rapid increase in peach rails
ing in Sumter is that of getting the
best prices for the produce. This
year the growers have felt keen1y the
need of a change in the system which
will permit the selling of the fruit
in the markets in which the best
prices obtain.
As it is now, the cars are shipped
to designated points, regardless of
the state of the market. Out in
California the peach and fruit grow
ers have solved the problem by get
ting together, but in South Georgia
the scheme has never been tried.
Though it is too late this season
to do much, the peach growers should
improve the winter by perfecting ar
rangements for the handling of the
next seasons crop. OF course the
commission men do not worry over
a glut of the market at any given
point, as they get their commission
regardless.
New York gets the bulk of the
South Georgia shipments, while it is
quite probable that many other cities
are easily able to absorb many more
cars than they receive. This would
seem to be particularly true of st.
Louis, which has gotten very few
cars from this section this season.
The following from the Atlanta
Georgian states the truth:
From various points in the peach
growing section of the state come
complaints, most of them apparently
well-based that the growers are
expecting the same old trouble with
the commission men in the large
markets of the country.
1t seems a great pity for the men
who have worked hard and built up
a great industry to be the victims
of greedy and unfair dealing in the
markets East and West Lean years
come to the fruit growers, years in
which frost does it's work completely,
and no profit comes to orchardists.
When a year of plenty comes, and
the trees are weighted with the most
luscious peach grown in the world,
the growers must confront a condi-
ton apparently as improbable as
when cold strips the fruit from the
trees.
So discouraging has become this
condition, altho the fruit men have
fought CALAMITY for their rights, that
it is said growers in middle Georgia
seriously contemplate cutting down
the trees another year, if profits go
to the commission man altogether as
has been the case in the past
Mr.. Nv. M. Towers, an experienced
peach-grower of Floyd county, shows
by figures how the commission men
in New York and other large cities
make heavy profits off of every car,
even when the grower is actually los
ing. He shows also that the old
cry of a congested market is a false
one, and that the South can hardly
throw more cars of peaches into the
big markets than can be easily sold
and consumed.
1t is situation of great serious
ness. Unless some way can be found
to give the growers a just and legi-
innate profit on their crop, it means
the decay of the fruit-growing indus
try in Georgia-the decay of an indus
try that should be a great source of
wealth in the state.
