HIGHEST COURT
KEEPS SOLONS
GUESSING
Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 20.-Unless the
state supreme court renders an ex-
pected decision within the next
few days, the legislature is likely
to make large appropriations for a
commission which may later be
found to have no legal existence.
For many months case has
been pending in the supreme court
In which the railroads attack the
validity of the laws creating the
state railway commission.
1t is an open secret that men,
beers of the commission themselves
are doubtful If the original COM
mission law will stand the test Of
the courts.
1t had been hoped and expected
that the court would hand down it's
decision in the case early In this
legislative session. so If the de-
cision is against the commission
there will be time to cure the
faults Of the old law by new legis-
lation.
The decision has not yet been
handed down, and the time is
growing short during which new
bills may be introduced this ses-
sion.
Unless the decision is made be-
fore the middle of next week it
will be too late for any new laws
this session, unless the house and
senate rules are suspended.
Going ahead on the assumption
the law will be upheld, the COM
mission is asking for the usual
large appropriations to continue
their work for the next two years.
or course, If the decision comes
against the commission after the
legislature adjourns. the body will
simply go out of existence until a
special session. or the next regular
meeting of the legislature had
passed a remedial measure.
The situation is serious, in view
of the apparent desire of the pres
ent legislature to give the commits
sion additional powers. so it will
have charge of telephone and tele-
graph regulations, as we'll as of
grain and hay inspection, in addi-
ton to their present jurisdiction
over transportation lines.

Higgins tripled to left, but was
out at the plate when he tried to
stretch it into a home run, Jones
to McAllister. French tripled to
right and died, Harris to McAllis-
ter, trying the same trick. Green
hit for three bases. Smith hunted,
the ball striking in front of the
plate and rolling slowly along third
base line. The third baseman came
in fast, but thinking theh ball
would roll foul, he followed it
along. Green couldn't leave third,
because at any time the third
baseman could toss him out at the
plate. The ball rolled along until

on second, getting a two base hit.
Sullivan hunted to the pitcher and
reached first; Wagner's fast work
kept Green pinned to the bag. b.

ward left, the ball striking Smith
and retiring the side, but counting
as hit. Thus six hits for 13 bases
were made in one inning and not a
run was scored.
Morris Whisky, Smiths Dope

nearest to solving the problem, his
answer being six hits and II

Dear Tupelo Friends:-

Dear TupelO FriendS:-
Now that peaches
are beginning to ripen want to tell
you something of this wonderful fruit
region. All schools in Tifton have
closed and for two weeks | have been
in Perry, sixty miles below. Perry is
in the heart Of this fruit belt that is
said to be the greatest peach growing
section in the world. Eight miles from
here are the Miami Orchards Of 80, 900
trees. Ten miles in another direction
are the Hale Orchards of 24,000 acres.
l did not learn the number of trees.
There are a few thousand pear trees in
these orchards.
The land is divided into mile squares
by roads, so wagons can haul the peach.
es to the packing houses. In each or
chard is a regular little village, store
school and church. Yes. and hotel
which is used only during the packing
We were shown over the packing
house which was curiosity to me.
There is mill close by where timber
/ for crates and baskets is sawed. Boys
make crates and ladies and girls make
baskets.
| The Hales employ 1000 hands during
the busiest season. A few early days
| in July last year, they shipped twenty
car loads day. Think of it! got
these statements at first hand and
know they are reliable. Am the guest
of Mr. Smith, very prosperous plant
er and one of my earliest Georgia
friends. In company with him and his
| wife in surrey behind his splendid
| match horses we have travelled over
one hundred miles through magnificent
| farming lands and through this Won
derful fruit belt. 1t has been the most
fascinating outing have had In many
day.
Now Mr.. Tyro, l want to say to you
please don't get the figures wrong. In
former letter you had me say that
| Tifton's population is 1000, whereas it
is 1000 and the liveliest town for its
! size ever saw.
Before closing want to tell Arthur
Berkley that If he will come to see me
whom return to Triton will take him
out in an automobile every day, There
are 200 private cars there and they fly
around almost as plentiful as buggies.
Triton has two auto firms that do a
| fine business. The machines are made
in Atlanta. Georgia product you see.
But to go back to peaches, how do
wish all of you could come with me
the peach season. 1t is from May to
November but the peaches OF the three
summer months are the best. / ex-
pect to be in North Ga. during July
and August and the peaches will be
ripe there then.
