MELONS ROT IN FIELD;
PRICES ARE so LOW

VALDOSTA, Ca, July 15.-It is said
by prominent railroad men here that fully
40 per cent of the watermelons this year
were allowed TO rot ip the fields due
to the exceedingly low prices they were
bringing about the Fourth OF July, when
the season was its height. Melons got
down TO about $25 car, so many of the
shippers quit gathering them.
Since that time they have gone up
again and are now bringing good money,
ranging from $50 to $25 car net. The
season is about ended here, and very
few more will be shipped. About $50
cars of cantaloupes were shipped from
here during the season. The Valdosta,
Moultrie and Western road handled about
200 cars of melons to this city, but very
few were shipped from here.

VALDOSTA, Ca, July 15.-An automo-
bile belonging to Mack snead, of Nash
vile, went into an open sewer ditch on
River street last night. but the car was
not badly damaged. Mr.. Snead and the
companion had narrow escape, how
ever. The city employees had dug great
hole for a sewer main and had the red
lights all around it, but Il is said that a
high wind blew out one Of the lights.
Mr.. Snead was coming at lively pace
up that street when his automobile shot
out in space and then suddenly sank
down full length in the ground. Another

ton of the finances of the state to the
end that all of the obligations of the
state, including those due to school
teachers. may be promptly paid.
AS the senate has been engaged for
months upon the measures now before
1t, and as the work has largely been
done upon these measures and upon
them scarcely more than a vote could
be accomplished even by me, / believe
that you can properly perform this duty
just as / would perform it,
In requesting of you this continued re-
sponsibility l place upon myself great
er burden for no other reason than the
desire to serve the interests of the peo-
pie OF the state.
Beginning next December I would be
in position in the United States SEN
ate to take up new work and to carry
my part then of the responsibility as
the work is begun.
Let me again express my regret that
you have viewed this subject rather
from the standpoint of unnecessary sem
sitiveness than from calm view of real
conditions.
OF course, I recognize that it is nat
ural that the recent election may have
disappointed you, but it should not en-
bitter you.
You will remember that in the case
of United States Senator Bailey he both
rendered his resignation to the governor
and sent 1t to the vice president of the
United States, but at the request of the
governor he subsequently withdrew it.
/ would still be gratified to have you
take what seems to me a reasonable
view of the situation and continue at
least to exercise your pair and give a
vote to the Democratic measures which
are pending before the senate, the inn
portance of which you recognize.
1 have not accepted your resignation
and shall retain 1t unaecepted that you
may have full time to realize the inn
portance of your continuing the pair
which kills a Republican vote in the
United States senate.
Very respectfully.
(Signed) HOKE SMITH.

CROPS OF LOWNDES
MAKE GREAT RECORD

VALDOSTA, Ca, July 13.-The great
est recreation the autolsts have these
days is to ride out through the country
in their machine and look at the finest
crops that have ever been seen in this
section of south Georgia at this season
OF the year. The corn fields are indie
scribable. They look like fields in the
western river bottoms or in the mountain
coves.
The cotton fields are also in splendid
condition, though they have had so
much moisture that many farmers fear
the stalks are too heavy for a good
crop.
All other crops are In excellent condi-
ton. The crop of grain, potatoes, peas
and other food crops are the greatest
ever grown in this section

THOMASVILLE Ca. July 13.-South
Georgia's big watermelon crop will all
have been marketed by the end of this
week and though some few of the grow

west have been overstocked by the ship
ments from other states coming along
with those from Georgia and prices in
consequence dropped down pretty low.
The melons have been unusually fine and
the home markets have been abundantly
supplied with them and the prices have
been within the reach Of everyone.

better than the melon growers and those
who have come out without losing feel
that they have done well
