this crop has been the most success
full from the standpoint of quality
and receipts in years, and this de-
spite a car shortage felt in South
Georgia an in the Americas territory
especially.
In this connection one grower calls
attention to a law which many grow
ers have APPARENTLY overlooked, and
that is the statute making the roads
liable for resulting damages, if the
grower has given written request
"a hours beforehand for cars.
Growers have either depended on
verbal requests for cars, or have not
made them "a hours in advance, as
required by law. Where this law has
been strictly complied with, growers
have not suffered.
The movement of the alberta crop
is general over the state, in north
as we'll as South Georgia. It is i'm
possible to strike an average Of
prices, but they have ranged in South
Georgia from Is cents to 81 a crate,
f. o. b., or about $44S a car.
Peaches have never presented any
finer appearance than this year, or
been in better condition for shipping.

SENATE LEADER ALDRICH
TO HAVE PALATIAL HOME

Providence, r. l., July 19.-After
years of planning, the actual work of
building the new home of Senator Mel
son W. AIdrich, on Warwick Neck
has been begun. The work will oc-
cupy a year or more, for it is to be
not only the largest and finest dwell
ing on Warwick Neck, but one of the
finest in New England, or in the coun-
try-at-large, for that matter.
A story that work had been inter
fered with by a demand by the work
men for an increase from $1.60 to $175
a day, was denied at the house today.
The story stated that a large number
of laborers had asked for the increase
and had sent petition to that effect
70 Senator Aldrichl, declaring that the
high cost of living made it impossible
for them to get along on less wages.
1t was also stated that to this petit
ton had been added:
Owing to increase in the price of
commodities under the Payne-Aldrich

FARMERS ARE STILL II,

Crops Here Cleaned to
Some Extent.

Rain yesterday again threatens %
put the cotton fields in the green col
umn, although progress has been
made during the past ten days in get
ting rid of the grass that threatened to
overwhelm them and thus render the
cotton crop of Sumter this year al
most a total failure.
Near Americas, particularly where
day labor was to be had, many of the
fields have been partially cleaned and
present a better appearance.
Farmers are more cheerful over con-
ditions at the present time than they
have been at any time during the last
six weeks, while the weed is still small
it is taking on considerable fruit and
the indications are that a fairly good
crop will be made.
In many sections the stand of cot
ton is very bad. The cotton crop is
about twenty to thirty days Late The
first bale of cotton was sold about the
first of August last year and it is not
believed that the first bale will be
marketed this year before the goth Of
August.
The general opinion prevails that
the cotton crop will be at least 81
per cent short of a full crop.
Reports from the corn crop indicate
that it is as good as usual and in some
sections it is far better than last year
The corn has been laid by and should
there be no other rain fall, the present
season will be sufficient to make the
early crop.

Examination of the formulatory de-

that a very large percentage of the
prescriptions filled for doctors are for
proprietary medicines.
This is because the average doctor
