the i've new Judges were first appointed to these

through to the heart of the problem. 1t was pro-
tested by some Republicans that such measure
would be without precedent and unconstitutional
But SO clearly did Senator Smith show that it was
not only constitutional but also amply justified by
precedent that his amendment adopted by
sweeping majority, all the Democrats and the pro-
gressive Republicans voting in its favor.
He brought to light the fact that in 1902, at the
instance Of President Jefferson Congress abolished
outright the Offices of sixteen circuit judges who had
been appointed for life during the preceding admin

THE GEORGIA PEACH.

Now comes that delectable season when nation
smacks its lips for the Georgia peach. There are
other lands where peaches grow, but whenever you
speak Of the peach, the world takes you the
Kind that come from Georgia. This year the and
rain and the good warm earth have conspired with
unusual magic; the result is a record yield. 1t Is
estimated that within the next few months there
viii be shipped from the between six and seven
thousand carloads of the iuiciest peaches ever
produced
At the lowest calculation, this crop should fetch
the state three and half or four million dollars. The
shippers figure on an average of i've hundred and
thirty-hve crates to a car and net profit of dol
lar a crate In 1911, which lean year, the
peach exports amounted to about a million but the
year before they reached three and half million in
value; and 1912 bids fair to set record.
One of the most progressive steps ever taken by
the orchard men was the organization Of the Georgia
Fruit Exchange through which the system of mar
keting has been placed upon organized and vastly
more efficient basis Before the Exchange was es-
tabIished it frequently happened that one market
would be quilted with fruit while in others there
would be an enormous demand with no supply. Nat
uray, the growers received miserable prices and the
consumers themselves were inadequately served.
The Exchange has virtually eliminated these unsatis-
factory conditions When the same business methods
Of marketing have been applied to other branches
OF agriculture Georgia will be incOmparably bet
ter or
Il is a remarkable fact that the commercial side
OF peach growing has developed in this state within
comparatively few years. 1t scarcely more
than a decade go when the Georgia peach orchard
comprised at the most few or hundred trees
supplying only enough fruit for home use. Horti-
culture in the larger sense Of the term was an I'M
practiced art Only here and there attention
paid to the development of the perfection OF
old varieties; and even in those rare instances it
was a mans hobby rather than his serious purpose
The rich and farreaching possibilities Of the peach
orchard as an investment were scarcely
dreamed Of Yet within a few years. it has come
to be one OF the profitable of the states harvests
II has originated new industries notably the canning
factory and has turned the summer, ordinarily dull
business season, into one of vigorous activity.
What is true of the peach is bound to prove true
sooner or later OF the Georgia apple and Of numer-
Gus other products which the states soil is pecu-
llarIy well adapted Experts have recently declared,
after thorough Investigation that by every natural
circumstance north Georgia is one Of the greatest
apple growing regions earth This truth will not
much longer be overlooked by investors; indeed,
capita is already turning the development of this
fertile field and within another ten years. it may be
predicted Georgas apple crop will equal if it does
not surpass her peach crop.
