The Apple Crop.


There is great deal of interest Just
now in this section over the apple crop,
and buyersare busiIy engaged inhypnotiz-
ing the fruit growers and getting them to
sell at the lowest prices possible. II is
estimated that there are 10000 barrels OF
apples in Jefferson county this fall, and
probably more than half Of the crop has
been already sold. Dealers are paying
from $3.50 to $2.75 barrel, and are put
ting up strong bluff that this is the top
price. On the other hand, it is claimed
that in the Stanton neighborhood higher
prices are being paid, and if is said that
the big Winchester growers are expect
ing better figures.
Charles D. Wysong has the largest crop
in this neighborhood, as it is thought that
he will get from $500 to 5000 barrels
from his two orchards east of town. ia
cob S. Osbourn estimates his crop at
$500 barrels; DR.. A. S. Reynolds may get
1000 barrels from his two orchards;
Henry w. Potts will probably have |, 800
barrels in his Duffields orchard. Other
crops in this vicinity are estimated about
as follows H. c. Marshall 800 barrels;
Hammond heirs, 800; VIM. T. McQuil-
kin, 600 to 800; Geo. W. Osbourn, 600
to 800; w. P. Licklider, 500; A. S. Dan
bridge, 800; Milton S. Miller, 800 to
1000; E. H. Remnant, 600 10 500; J. P.
Kearfott, 800. The largest crop in the
county, probably, is that of the Fairview
Orchard Company near KearneySville,
including the Border and Jones orchards,
which is placed at 5000 barrels. S. S.
Stouffer, across the river in Maryland,
will have about 500 barrels.

GEMS CANE HIGH.
Mrs. Leeds Paid $4,000 for
Pearl Necklace.
Question. Of S4I0,OO0- Duty Be-
fore Supreme Court.

Washington. Nov. 1.-The famous $40,
600 pearl necklace of Mrs. William b.
Leeds has been brought into considera-
ton in the supreme court OF the United
States.
A case to determine whether the United
States is entitled to only 10 per cent duty
on the gems, considered as pearls in
their natural state, not strung or set
or whether it is entitled to 60 per cent on
them as pearls set or strung. was up
for argument.
About a week after the stones were
imported by Bernard CitrOen in 1906. and
after a duty of 10 per cent had been col
lected, the government made a demand
for an additional duty of so per cent.
amounting to S110,tt0- Citroen came 10
Washington, it is said, protested against
the additional duty, and asked for re-
fund of the duty already paid, and that
he be permitted to return the pearls TO
France. The request was not granted.
The additional duty was paid and the
pearls turned over to Mrs. Leeds
The circuit court of appeals for the
second circuit held that the pearls were
dutiable at only 10 per cent The govern
ment will rely largely upon Mrs Leeds
testimony to obtain reversal of that
holding.
In its brief in the case it quotes Mrs.
Lees as saying that she wore the pearls
q great deal in Paris in 1905: that the
purchase was made there. but they were
to be delivered in America. She placed
the purchase price at SS40060 and ex-
planned that she turned over in Paris
