GEORGIA PEACH SALE !
NOW IN FULL SWING
Fruit Exchange Is Handling
Carload After Carload of
Luscious Fruit

A visit to the Georgia Fruit exchange,
in the A. B. and A building in this city.
f, is the only way to form an adequate idea
of the splendid organization which has
been perfected by the Georgia Fruit ex-
change for the marketing of the luscious
peach. The sale of the Georgia peach Is
now in full swing. From 100 to 200 car
loads of peaches are handled with less
trouble through the Georgia Fruit ex-
change now than was formerly given one
fruitgrower in handling his one car This
speaks volumes for cooperation.
Manager 1. NJ. Fleming, of the Geor-
gia Fruit exchange, has gathered around
him a corps of experts for expediting
this work. A transportation room mas
been fitted out in theh headquarters. L.
J. Rowell, a former traffic railroad man,
is In charge. From this point the mar
keting of the crop is done. Throughout
the day fruitgrowers, members of the
exchange, are calling up the exchange to
announce that they have cars picked,
packed and ready for shipment, and re-
questing destination. There is big
blackboard in this room, with the names
of all of the market centers indicated.
A glance at this blackboard shows where
fruit is on hand, to which point fruit Is
in transit, and where there is the great
I
tiers are the Potomac yards for the east,
and the Cincinnati yards for the middle
west. A grower calls up from Fort Val
ley and states that he has a car ready
to be shipped. He is told to bill 1t either
to the Georgia Fruit exchange at the
Potomac yards or Cincinnati. Under the
personal inspection Of a Georgia Fruit
exchange official, this car is iced at Fort
Valley. again in Atlanta, again In Char
the Potomac
yards. Similar personal attention is given
to every shipment handled through the
Georgia Fruit exchange.
Each night for an hour the Georgia
Fruit exchange has a leased telephone
wire to the Potomac yards and to Gin
cinnati. over this wire Instructions for
the distribution of fruit to New York.
Boston, Philadelphia, Newark, Provi-
dence, Pittsburg. Cleveland, Buffalo and
Chicago are given. In this way conges-
ton is eliminated On the blackboard
in the exchange these cars are followed
by white markers, on which appears the
number of the car. This fruit is sold at
destination by the regularly designated
commission houses of the exchange, and
under the personal direction of an official
of the fruit exchange. This makes IT man
ifestly impossible for the market to be
clogged, and keeps the exchange fully
posted of the condition and sale OF
every car marketed through this ex-
change.
Each morning at 10 o'clock the exchange
sends out a bulletin to its membership
announcing the number of cars sold, the
price per crate, and the gross returns.
In this way the Georgia Fruit exchange
is giving personal attention for each
grower who handles his crop through the
Georgia Fruit exchange.

CHARGE OF CRAFT MADE
BY WATSON sT|Rs HOUSE
Sends Letter Charging Keeper
Barron With Graft in
His Office

A bomb was thrown into the midst Of
the Georgia house of representatives,
Friday morning, in the shape of letter
from Thomas E. Watson transmitting
another letter which charges Lee Bar
, ron, keeper of public buildings and
grounds appointed by Governor Brown,
| with corruption and graft in his office.
The letter which Mr.. Watson sent had
| his partial Endorsement, in his state
ment that the charges contained in it
were probably true.
Mr. Watson stated that ]. F. Duck
worth and John Lee, of Union City,
are utterly unprincipled and corrupt"
Both are prominent in the Farmers
union. The latter is president of the
Georgia state organization of the union.
Both the letter which Mr.. Watson sent,
and the one which he signed himself,
charge that Mr.. Duckworth and Mr..
Lee have been in collision with Barron.
AUTHORS NAME WITHHELD.
The name of the writer of the letter to
Mr.. Watson, a copy of which he sent to
the house of representatives, was with
held "for the present" by Mr.. Wat
son.
The house was apparently astounded at
the directness Of the charges. After sharp
de bate, but without any opposition from
any quarter to Qualification of the matter
in one way or another, the house refer
red the whole matter to the COMMITTEES
on public property for immediate and
searching investigation and report. The
committee met at once, and adopted res
olutions acknowledging the reading OF
the letters and authorizing the chairman
to call on Mr.. Watson for the name and
ADDRESS of the writer of the letter adj
dressed to him. and for all further infor-
nation he has. The investigation will
probably be begun in earnest Monday.
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE.
Immediately after the letters had been
read, MIR. Anderson of Chatham moved
that they be referred to the committee
on public property.
Mr.. Shepard of Sumter offered a SUBJ
stitute, that they be referred to a sps-
cial committee Of five for preliminary In
vestigation.
Mr.. Hall of Bibb questioned the respon-
sibility of the anonymous writer of the
letter to Mr.. Watson, but professed to
be satisfied when Mr.. Watson's indorse-
ment of the writer was again read.
Mr. Wright of Floyd asked If the COM
mittee on public property would have
power to conduct a sufficient investiga-
ton, summon witnesses, etc.
other speakers threshed around the
question of whether the investigation
should be entrusted to a special or a
standing committee, but Mr.. Anderson's
motion finally prevailed, and the commit
tee on public property convened at once.
This committee is composed of the fol-
lowing members: Keith, chairman; Price,
vice chairman; Middlebrooks, Davis, Cal
beck, Fullbright. Pierce, McMahan Eli
son, Lawrence, Hall, Lovejoy, Brown of
Carroll, Jones of Meriwether, Cannon,
Butt, Hill, Harvey. Tracey, Ellis, Rosser,
Boyd, Reese, Anderson of Chatham.
Mr. Watson has forwarded a letter. adj
dressed to Speaker Pro Tenn Hardaman,
saying that his letter of charges was nor
intended for publication.

PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS.

There can hardly be two opinions
as to the claim which the teacher has
upon any system that may be adopt
ed, whether it be official or private -
says an editorial in the Midwinter
Century. "Ir. Carnegie's Foundation
has made admirable provision for vet
eran professors, but compared even
with the small salaries paid for high
er instruction. those paid to teachers
in the common schools are lamentably
inadequate. These soldiers of the in
tellectual realm often reach the gray
age of service, after years of sacrifice,
without having received a larger COM
pensation than that of an ordinary
clerk or cook Many a young woman,
in the bloom of beauty and health,
takes up teaching with a fair and
natural expectation of marriage, and,
being conscientious, devotes herself to
the interesting work until, caught in
the machinery of her daily toll, she
realizes, after many years, that COM
petent and faithful as she is, her re-
sources have not been sufficient to
cultivate in her the best of which she
is capable; life has passed her by.
Every one knows of instances of hard
ship attendant upon such devotion to
the great work of training the minds
and forming the characters of the
young. In contrast to this, the honor
accorded to the teacher in China car
ries both suggestion and warning"

There does not appear to be any good
reason, either. why the federal govern
ment should not cooperate to this ex-
tent with states and lesser communities
which are DESTROYS OF living under pro-
hibition. If the proposed law in ques-
ton was placed on the statute books
boot1egging in prohibition states would
soon be a thing OF the past for illicit
liquor dealers will take all kinds of
chances with state laws but they are
loathe to take any risks when 1t comes
to fooling with the federal government
Not only will prohibition states be
benefited by such legislation. There
will be equal benefit to communities in
states where local option laws prevail.
In many such states a county or dis
trict of municipality which has voted
dry is infested with blind pigs" or
Joints" which are run in violation IF
the local laws but whose proprietors DO
not think of doing business without an
internal revenue license.
Should the legislation suggested by
Mr.. Bell has adopted as law 1t is likely
that it would be taken to the courts.
and perhaps it would be annulled by the
learned courts on the ground that it Is
in violation Of the constitutional pro-
vision relating to that bugaboo. inter-
state commerce. You know, it might
deprive bootleggers and the rest of
their ilk Of their rights" to engage in
commerce with friends in another state
But this is almost too far-fetched
view to take of such a situation, and no
harm will come anyhow in this respect
with talxin- chance with the Bell
proposition.
