Chicago, June 1O.-After unani-
mously seating all the uncontested
California delegates, the committee
by vote of 3S to IA. decided to post
pone the hearing of the contested
fourth California district till Wednes-
day.
This action was taken on the re-
quest of Taft men and despite the
protests of Francis j. Heney who ap-
pears for the Roosevelt men and Cal
ifornia's national committeeman,
knight.
Senator Borah of Idaho, also a
member of the national committee
and leader in the Roosevelt fight,
expects the committee to oust all
( Roosevelt contestants and said: They
have decided to steamroller us out of
all shape. They probably will give
US few voters, trying to make it ap-
pear as an indication that they are
disposed to be fair. This will be done
TO delude the voters"
George A. Knight, the California
member of the republican national
committee, demanding that it hear
the California contest at once. instead
of postponing it, as he said he under
stood was plotted. knight said it
would be a grave justice to Califor-
mia TO go outside the alphabetical or
der in hearing the contests and would
leave bad taste in the mouthe of
the people.
That President Taft will receive 577
votes on the first ballot, forty more
than is sufficient to insure his nomi-
nation, was the wOrG sent to Taft to-
day over the long distance telephone
by Secretary Hilles. Hilles said the
initial roll call will be: Taft 577.

Minis TO-"
Roosevelt leaders scoffed at Hilles'
claim, declaring it is based on the
statements of Taft leaders and does
not represent the feeling of the indi-
Vidual delegates. Senator Dixon.
commander in chief of the Roosevelt
forces, said that so many supposedly
Taft men would climb into the Roose-
welt bandwagon that Roosevelt viii

CORNELIA DISTRICT
HAS BIG PEACH CROP

Fine Harvest in Haber-
sham
Special Dispatch to The JournalO


CORNELIA, Ga, August 1O.-Thls
week closes the Elberta season for
1912.
This great fruit which furnishes the
cash paying crop of this section is
now closing with more peaches for
warded from the seven railroad sta
tions in the Cornelia district than ever
before. These comparatively few acres
with their half million peach trees and
quarter million bearing apple and
cherry trees give the laboring men
more cash for this work than all the
balance Of the county.
The strike on the Pennsylvania rail-
road in New York caused some loss,
but as soon as that was Strengthened
out there came a steady rising In
price and Cornelia Elbertas are now
selling for 81 per crate and upwards
iE eastern markets
The consensus Of opinion is that
large numbers Of Elbertas and ap-
pies will be planted and all early
peaches taken out this fall.
Hundreds of summer visitors are
seeking places on these lovely hilltop
locat tons to build summer or perma-
nent homes From these hills views
one hundred miles away are shown
in all the grandeur and beauty OF a
Switzerland. Kennesaw and Stone
mountains-aROue one hundred miles

the lovely Chattahoochee and Nacoo-
chez valleys lying just below. This
ridge is the great divide where the
water in one wagon track flows to the
Atlantic ocean whilst from the other
side il flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

At the recent annual meeting OF the
Mississippi Valley Apple Growers as

Georgia was officially placed on the
apple map OF the United States 1t is
a recognition OF the status OF the state
as an apple producing region that will
be noted with pleasure by every citi-
zen OF Georgia whether he is an apple
grower or not.
Under the plan OF organization Of the
association each state that has assumed
any Importance in the apple industry is
accredited a vice-president who is in
charge Of the work OF the organization
in his state. and the decision OF the
association TO extend its work into
Georgia is shown what the horticul-
turists outside OF the state think OF
the Georgia apple.
Louis B. Magid president OF the APP
palachian apple orchards, was chosen
as the Georgia vice-president of the
association.
This action which was entirely unsJ-
Iicited and unexpected by Mr. Magid
proves that the unequalled natural con-
ditions in north Georgia and the I'M

have been given close study by scien-

group OF people outside the state have
been paying more attention to one OF
our richest assets than many Of our
own citizens and proves what the Jour
nal has always maintained that the ap-
pie region OF North Georgia is without
a peer.
one acre OF apple trees is worth four
or FIVE acres OF cotton, in productive
power. and il requires less care and
causes less worry. One ten acre orch
ara in Northeast Georgia, not over four
miles from Tallulah Falls, is valued by
the owner at 100000, and IL pays

TAFT WILL SIGN SENATE
PANAMA CANAL BILL
CBy Associated Press.)
N

WASHINGTON, Aug. lO.-President
Taft told callers today that he expected
to sign the senate's Panama canal bill
which prescribes the use of the water
way to railroad-owned ships. and pro-
vides free tolls for American vessels.
Experts in congress say the senate has
authorized a highly important extension
of the power of the interstate commerce
commission in adopting the Bourne
amendment to the canal bill.
This provision would authorize the
commission to divorce competing railroad
and steamship lines, whenever they oper-
ate to public detriment, and would ex-
tend powers of regulation over water
routes.
Little difficulty will be experienced in
recohciling the differences between the
senate and house on the bill.

THOMASTON, Ga, Aug. 1O.-The
heavy rains of the past two days have
really benefited the farmers of this
county but little. The corn crop is
practically made. and while the early
spring forecasted a large yield, the out
look at present is far from good.
There are many small patches above
the average, but the general yield will
not be over 20 per cent
AS to cotton, the stalk is very large,
but the fruit is not on it, and it would
be a high estimate to say that the
county will come within 5000 bales Of
last years output, which was about
$4,000. The gray lands are in better
condition than the red clay, though the
heavy rains have heavily washed the
latter. The roads. which the convicts
have been recently working. are almost
impossible, so badly are they washed
to pieces.
While the farmers of this county
adopted the "Rock Hill PLAN" and cut
their acreage, they are going to make
far less than that for which they have
planted. The army worm has not dam

her taxpayers have been doing more than
their share, in proportion to the rate at
which other counties of this section are
returning their holdings. Mitchell county
has made a substantial reduction in
her tax returns of $4,000.
This decrease is due, not to the lack OF
progress in Mitchell, which really is de-
