OUR COUNTRY.

After the Fourth of July, that
day which is, and naturally should
be, the day of all days to an Amer
lean, the closing paragraph of one
of President McKinlsy's last ad-
dresses appears particularly fit-
ting:
"We are the freest government
Oh the face of the earth. Our
strength rests in our patriotism.
Anarchy fees before patriotism.
Peace and order, and security and
liberty are safe 30 long as love of
country burns in the hearts of the
people. It should not be forgotten,
however, that liberty does not
mean lawlessness. Liberty to make
our own laws does not license US
to break them. Liberty to make
our laws, commands duty to OBJ
serve them ourselves and enforce
obedience among all others within
their Jurisdiction. Liberty, my
fellow.citizens, is responsibility,
and responsibility is duty, and
that duty is to preserve the excep-
tional liberty we enjoy in the law
and for the law and by the law. :"

The strength of the Georgia
weekly press is recognized, not only
by the daily press, but by the pub
lie men. The weeklies seldom
make mistakes. They are close to
the people. They assert a strong
influence over their readers. The
cause upon which they unite is
we'll supported and is seldom de-
feated. They reflect the communi-
ties in which they circulate, and it
is to the credit of any county that
it can show an excellent weekly.
It is the duty of their people to
support these publications, to
stand by them, and put them IN
position to be all the more of value
to their sections and their state. -

$I.OO A CRATE PUTS PEACHES IN
MARKET.

1t costs about q dollar a dollar
q crate to grow peaches, pick and
pack them and pay enough freight
on them to land them in the New
York market, according to some Of
the best informed North Georgia
fruit growers, and everything they
get above that they look Oh as
profit.
But some of the Georgia peach
growers have been forced to sell
their fruit in the Eastern markets
at times this year as low as 60 and
65 cents a crate, which was barely
enough to pay the freight. Others
have gotten as high as $3.50 to
$1.90, and for extra choice fruit
even higher, but the average profit,
it is stated, will be comparatively
small.
All of which is attributable to
the failure of the Georgia growers
to organize and adopt a systematic
plan for the distribution of the
fruit. The Georgia peach growers
have an organization, but it is not
one of a business sort; it has never
gotten beyond the discussing and
advisory stage.
At Grand Junction, Col, there
has been organized the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers Associa-
ton. 1t started ten years ago with
a capital of 81 300 paid in. A man
ager was employed at 800 a month.
He kept in touch with the markets
and directed the distribution of all
fruit. The growers alone we're the
stockholders and they paid the as
ISOLATION 5 per cent. on the net re-
turns. Two per cent. was found
sufficient to pay all expenses and
the balance went int surplus I'M
til the association accumulated q
capital of 100000, invested in
warehouses, canneries and evapo-
rating plants, is now paying regu-
lar annual dividends and giving it's
manager salary of $4,000. 1t is
stated the Grand Junction grow
ers, as a result Of this association,
now receive the highest known
prices for their fruit, practically
all of which is sold f. o. b. at Grand
Junction Through a similar as
ISOLATION like good results were OBJ
tanned by the sweet potato growers
of Accomao and Southampton
counties, Virginia.
Here are two successful associa-
tiors which afford splendid pat
terms for the Georgia fruit grow
ers. There can be scarcely any
doubt that organization along SIM
liar lines in this state would be &C
companied by spendid returns even
in years of the fullest crops.
