PEACH MEN WANT
LOWER FREIGHT RATES

The meeting here on September of the
trustees and executive committee OF the
Georgia Fruit Exchange will consider the
plan. which will be preached by some of
the larger growers who are members OF
the exchange, to ask the railroads to
give lower rates on fruit shipping.
The plan is to have the traffic officials
confer with the growers. 1t is thought
that such a conference would bring about
a friendly adjustment of rates. Fruit
growers are very much pleased with the
accommodation shown them the past sea-
son by the railroads, and they believe the
roads will readily see the necessity for
reduction of rates.
It now costs the grower something over
$500 to handle car of peaches. OF this
amount, $40 is for refrigeration and
freight. If peaches sell at 81 crate, 1t
will be seen that the grower has little or
no profit
Freight rates have never been reduced,
although the increased number Of ship
ments has made II possible for the roads
to haul peaches at less expense The ex-
change has already solved the problem
OF distribution, and will now devote It's
attention to cheaper transportation.
F. B. McKevitt, manager of the Cali
fornia Fruit exchange, which is to the
California growers what the Georgia ex-
written Manager Fleming a letter of con-
graduation on the work of the Georgia
exchange, as follows:
I'VE have watched the operations or
your organization during the present sea-
SON. and we feel that we should congrat-
ulate you upon the manner in which you
have handled the business and the show
ing you have made. We believe that you
realized a very substantial profit for your
growers. and are confident that In the
distribution you have made. conditions for
all fruit growers in the country have
been greatly benefited. We feel that you
have done California a great deal of good
as well as yourself. and, since your eff
fort meant the breaking of new ground
and the handling of the business in a
manner In which II had never been ham
died before, we consider that you per-
sonally are entitled TO a great deal Of
credit and take pleasure In extending
same to you and in wishing you and your
organization the greatest of success in
the future"

Posed for Picture, Then He Was Killed

ALBANY, n. Y.-Here is a picture
from life that tells a story of death.
1t was taken in Albany 20 minutes
before Bernard Johnson. known among
tie workmen in his hazardous trade
as Whitley" fell from the top of the
high iron beam on which he is shown
and was killed instantly.
Whitley" met his fate as his fellow
workers predicted. As a structural
iron worker he had shown many times
that he didn't know the meaning Of
fear. His services always were in de-
mand, for the big contractors knew
that whenever they had neck-risking
job Whitley" would be willing to take
the chance with the fate that always
stared at him.
This picture was taken where
Whitley" was helping build the
$500, 900 educational building.
Just after he had posed for the pic
ture, spectators saw him topple, fall,
strike a lower beam and then hit the
earth, dead. The tragedy so unnerved
the construction crew that they quit
work for the day.
