THE PEACH CROP.
reaved.

The peach orchards in Cobb county
are looking fine, and if there is no frost
to kill them, there will be an abundant
crop. We made visit to Hon, E. P.
Dobbs' orchard the other day at Oak
hurst. He has 126 acres in Elbertas,
six years old, about go, 900 trees, and we
never saw prettier orchard in fact,
we think it is the best we ever saw.
The trees are loaded with fruit, and
such crop he will gather this season,
if Jack Frost and the Ice King does not
visit them, will be astonishing. He
has it in fine condition, clean and we'll
worked. He has two other orchards
near by which are said to be much bet
ter than this one. The farming coun-
try now is presenting beautiful ap-
pearance, and makes one feel like
living in the country. But it requires
good deal or hard work to keen it
in that condition, but it is the bed
rock of prosperity and independence

PUBLIC GRATITUDE.

We often hear the declaration, see it
IN print and imagine it in our dreams,
that the man who performs public
service is sure to hold the gratitude of
the people. There probably never was
more tickle thing than public graft
tude; it is az tickle as public sentiment.
Men and women have performed great
public services, in all ages of the world
and in all countries, and died in pow
erty. Their bodies were carted away
and buried in the potter's field, or else
in some neglected cemetery in rough
coffin. And of all the ingrates in this
world your professional reformer in
morals and politics is the most conspic-
uous and constant. Public sentiment
and gratitude are as treacherous as any
quicksand Chattanooga News.
The same way of political opinions
and political idols. The tickle public
throws up its hat and hurrahs for man
one day, and probably the next day
they roll him in the mud.

JUDGE TWIGGS SAYS BROWNWILL
BE THENEXT GOVERNOR.

Savannah, Ga, March 3O.-"Little
Joe Brown will be the next Governor of
Georgia as sure as the Democratic pri-
mary is held on the 4th day of June, !"
said Judge H. D. D. Twiggs this morn
ing. The Judge has just returned from
visit through different sections of the
State, and he bases his opinion upon his
talks with the people he met while on
the trip.
II have been in Dodge, Wilcox, Tel
fair and other counties in that section

seen people from all sections of the
State, and they tell me the Brown sen.
timent is sweeping verything before it.
know in the sections l have visited. it
is very hard to find Hoke Smith sun
porter. There seems to have been a
complete reversal of public opinion
within the past two years.
Judge Twiggs thinks there is little
doubt of Chatham county going for
Brown, and he says the reports he re-
ceives from Macon are that there are
few Hoke Smith men to be found there.

TO AMEND BANKRUPT LAW,

An amendment to the United States
bankruptcy law will be asked at the
coming session Of congress. A move
ment to this end is being fathered by
the Macon chamber of commerce.
The injustice of such law as now
exists is thus noted:
"For example, it is possible for man
to start business on a small amount of
cash, say 800, and after filling his store
on credit take 81 800 homestead on the
merchandise, Of which he furnished
only 800 and his creditors 81 800. That
isn'tall. Frequently a 81, 800 homestead
manages to cover $4,000 or even $4,000
worth of merchandise, if the appraisers
are very friendly to the bankrupt home
steader."

IRISH SHILLELAHS ARE
GROWN IN AMERICA

Chicago. Special: weirasthrul Weir
asthru Blackthorn shillelahs are now
grown in America and shipped to Ire
land, where they are sold ON the quay
at Queenstown as the genuine Irish ar
ticle.
Police Sergeant Maurice Crotty, who
has just returned from a six weeks
visit to h Emerald Isle, is responsible
for the assertion that counterfeit shil-
lehahs are sold extensively in Queens
town and other Irish cities. He brought
half q dozen blackthorns back with
him, but he knows they are the real
thing because he cut them himself in
the Cratlowe woods, County Glare.
MANY a mar in America who thinks
he is carrying an Irish blackthorn is
In reality Juggling around a stick that
was grown in this country he says.
blackthorns are sold annually in Ire
land, principally at the quay in Queens
town.
1.-The genius blackthorn is scarce in
Ireland on account of the great quaint
ity that has been u in recent years.
Limerick, my native county, was in
d a few years g by a syndicate
Of Chicago and New York merchants,
who bought every blackthorn in sight.
Anybody who is at all wise will not
buy a b~lackthorn from the peddIers on
the dock at Queenstown. You might
sel Inc seiiuihe aftlcie' Dul you run a
chance Of getting a stick that was
grown in Illinois. !.
People in Ireland who are onto the
game told me that shiploads Of these
counterfeit blackthorns are brought
from America every year They are
shipped Over in gunny sacks from New
York, and on arrival in Queenstown
are taken to the shillelah factory,
where expert workmen make them in
to blackthorns that defy detection. The
wood is stained to the proper shade
n the ferule is put on-the genuine
old country ferrule-and I'm told when
the stick is finished 1t would fool a
Connaught ranger.
"A certain Chicago mar had a fake
b!ackthorn stick factory. He ships the
sticks to a New York agent, who in
turn ships them to Ireland, where they
are sold to Americans, and aver to
Irishmen."

Time TABLES FAST
BY WHOLE MINUTE
The Man With the $500 Chron.
ometer Says Engine Drivers
Are Given LeeWay.

Were one minute late in starting
observed a man to his seatnate on an
outward bound train at the Grand
Central the other afternoon, accord
ing to the Chicago Inter Ocean. Either
the train Is late or my watch is slow.
l don't think it's my watch, for It's
as absolutely accurate a chronolneter
as there is in America. I paid $500
for It," he added pridefully.
Your watch is all right n so Is
the train" replied his companion. TT
is something hat is not known to the
public, b 1T is a fact that most of the
great railroads nowadays make their
published time cards-those that it is
sues to the public at large-exactly
one minute faster than those they fur
nish their train employees. For instance.
his train, according to the time table,
is due to leave the station at 4:50
The time card the engineer runs by
gives the leaving time as 5 o'clock,
and at 5 o'clock to the second he pulls
out.
"The reason for that Is this: I get
to the gate at exactly 1859. I am agree
ably surprised to see hat the train
l wan to take is still there and slide
through the gate just as it is closing.
l get aboard and In my seat just as
the train starts. I look out OF the
window and see no one fastening down

swoop and land on the rear step at
the last moment.
If there Is n one left behind he
is OF the. other side of the gate. The
railroads have adopted this plan OF
having their public time tables so sec
onds faster so hat the gate leading
to the train may be closed at the mo-
ment the train is scheduled to start,
and sc that those who get inside at
the last moment can have exactly one
minute to get aboard. which is ample
If one Is at all nimble."
