SHIPPERS GET CARS IN
TIME TO SAVE CROP.
AmeriCuS Lost Little Fruit
For Lack of Cars.
Number Came Sunday
and the Situation
Was Relieved.

Immense relief was afforded in tba
Americus peach orchards Sunday
morning when the fruit shippers look
ed out and beheld in their freight yards
all the refrigerator cars needed for
immediate purposes. The cars came
Saturday night and relieved the sit
uation here.
Of course, much loss resulted from
not being able to get the cars Satur-
day, as a great deal of fruit packed
for shipping Saturday night was rem
dered useless.
While little actual work was done
in the packing houses here Sunday. il
was case of the oxe in the ditch, ,
and could the laborers have been en-
ployed Sunday for love or money the
packing houses would have been akin
to hives of industry
At Fort Valley the situation was
likewise relieved Sunday by the plac-
ing of cars, and while the loss there
was enormous it really was less than
anticipated. The situation there and
at Marshallville on Saturday was a
great deal worse than in Americus.
Here, all of the orchards, except the
Bagley-Ray Co., have finished ship
ping and quit work.
Thus far total Of 221 carloads
have been shipped from Americus. The
Ware-Progress Co. has shipped 81
cars, the Raymond Co., so cars, the
Carolina Realty Co., 20 cars, L. NJ.
Hansford 4 cars and the Bagley-Ray
Co., up to yesterday at noon, had ship
ped 70 carloads.
Fttis gives a total of 221 carloads
to this date.
The Bagley-Ray Co. is yet in the
very midst Of the shipping season. and
will ship many additional cars of the
finest Elbertas this week and early
next week. Prices continue good, net
ting the growers about 81 per crate
over all expenses. Americus growers
are highly pleased.
Some of the prettiest fruit grown
in many years has been gathered from
he Americus orchards, and little diff
fculty has been experienced in mar
keting.
