With the opening of the circus and
baseball seasons and the price OF pea
nuts jumping, there is report cur
rent that boobers of the Old Dominion
have become scarce, but on account Of
the big demand dealers have imported
fore!gn-gfown nuts and are re-shipp-
ing them as the Virginia product.
In eight months. 1t Is said 2,163
pounds of peanuts were brought direct
ly into Virginia through the ports of
Norfolk and Portsmouth. 1t Is claim
ed further that much larger quantities
were shipped into this State through
New York and Philadelphia. It is
estimated by importers that $4,000 bags
or 4.250,000 pounds of the tasty lit
tie nuts reach Virginia last year and
were sold with the local product
Inquiry in Richmond can throw but
little light on this charge against Vir-
giuia dealers. Most of the peanuts of
this State are handled through Suffolk.
Smithfield. Petersburg, Norfolk and
Portsmouth.
1t is reported that controversy has
arisen between the dealers in domestic
nuts ana those who import their sap
plies from Spain, China and other
countries. The dispute is in New York.

pendicitis The Pin is Dis
covered

Suffering from what the physicians
at first thought was an abseess or
appendicitis, the three year-old child
OF Mrs. w. J. Staples, OF SOS Everett
street. was operated on last week at
Memorial hospital in Richmond and
black and rusty pin taken from the
child's stomach. Those at the hos
pital said that the pin might have been
swallowed by the child Il year or more
ago.
Some time ago the child was taken
very III and after being treated for
several weeks and becoming no better,
II was decided that an operation was
i'm perative. The operation was per
formed by Or. John w. BrodnaX, OF
Washington ward, and DIR. Robins. OF
Richmond. each OF whom was greatly
surprised when the rusty pin was dis
covered In the intestines.
Since the operation the child has
steadily improved and was removed
from the hospital Saturday and gives
every sign Of returning health.

SAYALLGOOBERSSF SHIPPED
ARE NOT GROWN HERE.
Charge Made York That Many Peanuts are Brought IN
from Other Countries and Reshipped

New York World of Sunday. The
charge Is that large quantities are
shipped from New York ana Pnlia-
delphia to Virginia, so as to be after
wards passed off as the genuine nome
grown nuts. This charge was mace
in letter sent to dealesS by large
importing firm.
The trouble is alleged to have started
when peanut cleaners here advanced
prices a cent or two above those OF
last year, and about the same time
importers offered foreign nuts in New
York and elsewhere at prices at the
old level The Virginia price of nuts
has been cents a pound, but the
imported product may be had at .
cents.
Several weeks ago. ii is learned. let
ters were sent out by Virginia ship
pers warning jobpers and dealers not
to depend upon the foreign nuts. which
IL was said, would not keep well IN
warm weather.
IA New York firm has compiled Ag-
ures to prove that Virginia imports
tons of peanuts and reseils them again
SO that buyers do not really know
whether peanuts coming frem this
State were grown here or In Europe
or Asia.
