PLANT OF DIAL TON ARGUS
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
Broken Water Main Made Ef-
forts of Firemen Without
Avail
Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)

Especial Dispatch 10 Inc JOURNAL
DALTON, Ga, Jan 19.-Early this
morning saw the final misfortune to
Dalton newspapers, when fire complete
ly destroyed the plant of the Dalton
Argus.
In April of last year the plant of the
Citizen was destroyed by fire. The
Searchlight of Truth, a religious publi-
cation, was forced to discontinue
through want of advertising patronage,
and this morning the Argus fire COM
pleted the misfortune
The fire was first discovered shortly
after L o'clock and when the fire de-
partment reached the scene the plant
could have been saved had water been
available, but a broken main on Ham
ilton street delayed the work long
enough for the fire to gain sufficient
Roadway to destroy the plant.
As it was, the fire was prevented from
spreading to other parts of the build
ing.
The plant was valued at $1,000 and
5000 insurance was carried. r. A.
tombstone, editor and proprietor of the
plant, has not as yet formulated his
plans for the future, but it is practical
ly certain that the paper will not sus-
pend publication.
The A J. Showalter company has vol
unteered its services, but today's issue
of the paper will be printed in circular
form at the Nance printery.
The building caught fire twice, the
second alarm being turned in about
o'clock The building was the property
Of Fincher & Nichols.

COAL MINE RATES ARE
DECLARED REASONABLE
RY RALPH snaITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 20.-The
interstate commerce commission today
held that the present rate from the
Coal Greek mines to Augusta is not I'M
reasonable, nor does it appear that coal
consumers at Augusta are thereby sub
jected to undue disadvantage. The
complaint was made last April by the
Augusta Chamber Of Commerce against
the Southern railway and alleged that
the rate of s2.10 per ton was unreason-
able and unduly prejudicial as compar-
ed with rates from the mines to other
points in the same territory.

Co-Operationin Marketing

Co. 0perationin Marketing
The appetite for fruit is univer-
sal. 1t characterizes all races and
conditions of men. OF all foods,
fruit is the most natural, whole
some and refined. The appeal it
makes is not alone to appetite,
! but to taste, smell and the sense
of beauty as we'll. One would
imagine, then. that fruit should be
of all things the easiest to market,
and therefore the most profitable
to cultivate
That the real conditions should
anywhere be the reverse of this,
affords one of the most striking
illustrations of the fact that pres
ent methods of collecting and dis
tributing the products of the soil
except in few Instances is of
recent improvement altogether
askew and out of harmony with
common sense. No doubt the alb
normal spread of our population,
over an area six or eight times
as large as that needed for the
best development of social econ
omies-thus vastly enhancing the
difficulties of cooperation. trans
portation and distributions ac-
countable in great measure for
the fact that, while in the centers
of population fruit Of all kinds
commands enormous prices, mill
lions of dollars worth yearly per-
ish on the farms where grown.
But that. by cooperative en-
deavor, all difficulties may be
overcome and fruit brought with
in the reach of consumers at
prices which the multitude can af-
ford, and yet high enough to
yield good returns to the grower,
is being demonstrates by the sue
cesses attending the operations of
fruit growers association already
organized.
Conspicuous among these is the
whose growth and methods of OPP
Grafton are describer at length in
the yearbook OF the department
of agriculture for 1910. From a
small beginning % years ago, and
through many edueative experi-
ences, it has grown to a mighty
organization, representing 5000
growers, divided among 100 or
local associations. 1t now handles
60 per cent of the citrus fruits
grown in California, and handles
it in such a way that both waste
at home and over-stocked mar
kets at the points of distribution
are alike practically eliminated, as
surfing a handsome return for his
crop to each one of the associated
growers. Similar but smaller as
sociations, not connected with the
exchange, handle along kindred
lines about per cent more Of the
California crop, leaving only IA
per cent to be marketed by indi-
viduals.

organizations. in the face of trans
portation problems far more diff
cult than any to be faced in the
middle west, south or east-since
the fruit grown on one side of the
continent had mostly to be mar
keted on the other side or in Eu-
rope, and must face the climatic
risks of all latitudes-should make
it apparent that if similar organ
izing ability should be applied to
