Cedaredge Fruit Growers


A meeting was held at Eckert
FRIDAY night for the purpose of or
ganizing a growers association for
their mutual protection. About sixty
growers were present at the meet
ing and much interest was manifest,
The organization will be knwon
as the Surface Creek Fruit Growers
Exchange. The object, as stated in
the constitution: Shall be for the
purpose of perfecting and maintain
ing a mutual benefit society for
the mutual benefit of each and
every member thereof interested in
the advancement of quality and pro-
duction OF fruit of all kinds; pur-
chase of necessary supplies; keep
ing in touch with markets and market
quotations, and so combine our inter
ests that we may present the pros
pective buyer quantity and quality
in such proportions as to make the
vicinity attractive to purchasers"
The officers elected are: Presi-
dent, ". A Weyrauch; vice-presi-
dent E. D. Smith. secretary and
treasurer. E. F. Hubbard. These Of
ficers together with J. H. Cowan,
Tom Harshman, J. o. Simpson and
Chas Dixon, form the board of di-
rectors
In order to assist in the picking
and packing problem scale of
wages was decided upon as follows:
Pickers are to be paid 25 cents an
hour Packers are to receive cents
box for the shuttle pack and 6
cents for the layer pack of apples.
For peaches > Y cents a box will be
paid. This scale dos not include
the board.
On the evening of the meeting
thirty paid members We're. received
and it is understood that this has
been increased very materially due
to the efforts of a membership com
mittee and interested members.
This exchange is not organized
to injure the associations or other
methods of handling fruit. but it is
| to act as a check to see that all get
square deal and that prices to the
grower are in accordance with the
market price The organization ex-
poets to do one other thing. which,
under the conditions here. is the
most important matter in hand. that
I is to work an honest and uniform
q pack. If this can be established,
the exchange will be worthy of its
name.
| 1t is said that the exchange has
already had a benificent effect upon
peach prices and that an advance of
10 cents per box is scheduled with
numerous buyers in the field. How
ever this may be, no harm can come
from the organization.-Champion.

Washington, June Congress
man A. F. Lever introduced p bill

ter up with the authorities in Co.

Attorney Issues Letter.

Atlanta, Ca, June 1.-Gov. Brown
announced this afternoon tht he has
set Tuesday, June 20, as the date for
the hearing on the requisition from
Gov. Cole L. Blease, of South Caro-
lima, for Attorney Thos. B. Fielder,
of this city, the requisition having
been issued on a warrant sworn out,
charging Mr.. Fielder with having at
tempted to bribe Hub" H. Evans,
former chairman of the State dis
pensary board, in Newberry county,
South Carolina, in 1905.
When Sheriff Buford, of South

COBWEB SKIRT SEEN IN N. Y.
Another Extreme of Fashion That
Causes Rubbernecking.

New York, June 2.-No one really
could tell whether it was a harem
skirt minus the skirt or only the
hobble part of the other kind of the
latest sensational gown, but there
were few persons in Riverside Drive
the other afternoon who missed it..
Occupans of carriages and automo-
biles craned their necks and dignified
men and women on promenade halt
ed. Young and old viewed the spec
tacle, beautiful young woman who
wore what was promptly called the
cobweb skirt.
The fine weather of the morning
and early afternoon brought out
many things that had been concealed
all winter, and, of course, the sum-
mer costumer had not been idle.
Three attractive young women pa
raded out of One Hundred and Tenth
street about 4 o'clock In all their
glory of new silk, filmy gowns, queen
ly long parasols and fitting hats.
They walked out to the brow of the
little hill that juts into the Drive
and stood at the head Of the steps as
if in doubt whether to descend. And
Just then the beautiful sunlight.
The two outer girls attracted no
undue attention, but the center one
well, some of Solomon's wives
might possibly have been arrayed as
{ She Her cream silk gown, speckled
with little red things, was certainly
the cobwebbiest creation that has
made it's appearance in the Drive this
season. It was not heavy enough to
put a weight on ones mind and NE
briefer the mention of it's length the
more appropriate.
Of course she may have been on
her way home from some comic ope-
ra rehearsal and have left a few
things behind, but there she was out
in the cold, cruel world, and right up
where almost everyone could see her.
Her outer garment seemed to fade
in the sunlight into only haze, float
ing around a dark silhoutted statue.
"I'm coming to New York every
Sunday afternoon" was the verdict
of a man who said his home was IN
Cohoes.

A Card from Louie L. Chartrand.

While it humiliates me great
deal to refer to the matter, feel it
my duty to my Friends, to explain
why the pardon.
First-The Court (Police Court
of Orangeburg, is not Court of Rec
ord (by law and cannot take citi-
zenship from any one.
Secondly-The Constitution grants
to every one a fair, impartial trial
by Jury, when charged for crime. l
begged for a fair trial, and was de-
MED even a chance to employ Law
yer. I also asked to be locked up,
and my only witness summoned.
That request was also refused me;
and while admit that circumstances
connected me with the affair, only
from a point of view, that associ-
ated and drank (whiskey) with the
parties who was guilty (which fact /
found out after being discharged)
do claim that I did not have shad-
ow of a chance to defend myself
against an unjust, unfair conviction
by a man, who sat as Judge to meet
out justice to the accused, and not
spite, or revenge, or to obtain noto-
riety, through the channels of JUS
tice.
And feel proud to be able to say,
although eight years have passed
since that unwarranted stain was
hurled at my Character, for other
reasons than (Larceny,) I am proud
to know that some of the Court Of
fcials, who were present then, have
judged justly, and have stood stead
fastly to me as Gentleman. Since
then 1 have voted almost regularly.
And I held Office in the service Of
the State; and had l not of been in
formed by legal advise that the Po-
lice Court of Orangeburg could not
disqualify a Citizen, would of set
the matter straight long ago. But
feeling a clair conscience in the sight
of Almighty God, and having not lost
a worthy friend by the occurrence,
simply let matters stand until chal-
lenged, now that I am once more call
ed on to uphold the dignity of dear
old South Carolina, in the House
burning case at North, and hearing
that the old matter was going to be
aired by the defence, and to avoid a
legal consumption of time, or per-
haps worse, 1 thought to settle the
matter once and for all time, thus
the Pardon.
Time has passed, and an all wise
God has blessed me in various ways
and 1 freely forgive those who at
tempted to damage my Character,
and for the sake of the Souls that
are now in Eternity, I will ask the
public to kindly let the matter rest
where it stands, as those whose Souls
are in Eternity, cannot defend the
charge now, Respectfully,
LOUIE L. CHARTRAND.
