Warmers appointment as postmaster at New Decatur came si in the nature of a surprise to the other five or more applicants for that post office. Local politicians here say It was generally understood that there would be no appointments made in Alabama until after the state repub- lican convention in Brmin gham on August S1. On this account they are at a loss to understand the appoint . ment.
 On July 1, last the New Decatur postoffice of which MT Warner was postmaster was consolidated with the Decatur postoffine and Postmaster Will liam Moseey of Decatur became post master, with MT. Jolly as his assistant in the New Decatur office. Only a few days ago the crder consolidating the two offices was revoked and it is said here that Senator Joseph E. Johnson was responsible.
 It is understood that MT. Warner will again take charge of the New De- catur office just as soon as his bond is made and shis commission received, which will be perhaps only a few days.

the storage in transit has been taken
up for our apples going east. When
that is full inaugurated the only
charge on hating a car between here
and the Atlantic coast will be the
switching charges. 1t is believed that
with this in effect we will be able
to obtain a better distribution for our
apples and IT will be the salvation OF
the storage houses in the interior VINO
are cut out of storing box apples OF
the west. The great bulk OF western
apples move in forty days, and the
crop thus moved requires about eight
months for consumption. The storage
in.transit rate will increase the traf-
fic on the trunk lines, will give the
buyers large increased storage ROOM
will cause a better distribution and
put larger quantity Of fruit into
consumption at reasonable prices. IN
der the present rate the tendency is
to make Chicago the main center OF
distribution for box apples. Much
credit is due to our State horticultural
Inspector Mr.. J. Edward Taylor In adj
yertising our Yah apples at the an
ferent expositions throughout the
country. First when we are thoroughly
and organized will we ful'
~ realize that our highest grade OF
apples cannot be duplicated on the
face of the earth, so we have the
world for a market for our best ap-
ples. Our railroads and steamships
are ready and willing to take our frpit
to the ends of the earth.
The person then who looks for this
business to speedily become unprofit
able does not understand the situa-
ton. We only need tc point to the
loving cups and ribbons and letters
of comment to understand we have
the goods. And 1t is our own fault II
we do not bring them to the atten-
ton of the world.
The work being done by the differ
ent fruit growers associations and
backed by our newspapers Is working
wonders for our state.
