HAS RETURNED
FROM A TRIP
TO ATHENS
Mr.. WICKER is BACK HOME
To Devote Time to Demon
StFatiOn Work

After a trip to Athens, where he al
tended the meeting of agents for the
United States farm demonstration work
for the state of Georgia, which met
there, Mr.. David Wicker is at home
again to devote his entire time to
the work of the superintendent of
farm demonstration work in Sumter
county
Not only did Mr. Wicker attend at
the Athens meeting the session of the
farm demonstration agents, but also
those of several other kindred organi-
cations which were held there at the
same time. Among these were the
State Live Stock association, and the
short term of instruction given to the
farmers of the state.
This made the meeting a very busy
one for Mr.. Wicker, though a pleasant
one also. 1t will be the effort of Mr.
Wicker to secure a representative from
among the Boys Corn club of Sumter
of Sumter county to attend the fifth
National Corn show to be held soon in
Columbia, s. C. This would be a help
full and stimulating trip for any boy
in the county who can get a chance to
take it.

Atlanta, Ga, January 20.-Reorgan-
i7ation of the Cosmopolitan Life In
surance Company which was thought
to be well under way, has been delay
ed by two interventions filed to-day by
J. c. Armistead and II. c. Holliheid,
owners Of stock, who allege that the
new plan of organization which has
been approved by Insurance Commits
sioner W. A. Wright, is a fraudulent
scheme to get the assets out of gun
fire" of the creditors. AS result OF
these charges, Judge Bell postponed
until next Saturday, the hearing which
was to have been held to-day, and
there is indication that the litigatiol
will be still further heightened.

CONTROL OF MEAT SUPPLY
In HANDS OF FL "
Six Companies Control the
Entire Output

Jefferson Cit, Mo, January 20
Daniel Dillon, commissioner, appoint
ed by the Supreme Court of Missouri
to take evidence in the suit filed by
the Attorney General to GUST the al
legged meat packers combination from
the state, reported to the court that he
found the six companies in an agree
ment to control prices.
But l do not think" the report
adds, that the evidence is sufficiently
specific in regard to the volume Of
business it controls and the volume of
business done by others to warrant the
finding that the combination consti-
tutes a monopoly"
The six companies named in the pro-
ceedings are Swift & Co, Armour &
Co, Morris & Co., the National Pack
ing Company, the Hammond Packing
Company and the st. Louis Dressed
Beef and Provision Company The
commissioner makes no recommends
ton as to whether the packers shall
be ousted from Missouri

GEORGIA BUYING
APPLE TREES
FROM FRANCE
PURCHASE OF $4,000 MADE
viii be Planted in HabGPSham
County

Atlanta, Jan 2O-Fifty thousand i'm
igrants from France arrived in Hab
crsham county the other day, and will
ofrm valuable producing element in
the 7 crthern section of the state. These
50,OCr immigrants are young ap1le
trees seedlings-imported by the Al
rauac hian Apple orchards, one of The
largest importations of the kind ever
brought into the South.
1t is a peculiar fact that the French
are experts in the growing of Seeding
apple trees. All of them-and they
were carefully examined by experts on
arrival, are healthy young stock, bat
they are nondescripts. If they were
planted and allowed to grow as they
are there is nc telling what kind Of
apples they would priduce.
There might be hundred different
kinds of apples on them-crab apples,
horse apples, any and every kind that
would be of small value in the mar
ket
But everyone of these $4,000 apple
trees is going to be made to do some
thing different from what it would
have done had it been permitted to
grow of itself.
Up in New York state there is
man employed now at $40 day just to
watch another man cut buds from ap-
pie trees of we'll known varieties, to
label them and to be in a position to
positively identify them as of this or
that particular variety.
These buds will be grated onto the
French immigrants before they are
put into the ground this spring, and
five years from now these trees will be
bearing winesaps, Grimes, golden,
mammoth black twig, Rome beauty
and other varieties that do best in the
northeast Georgia mountains.
When theset rec are set out this
will make total of $1,000 trees in this
orchard alone, or 1900 acres of a 5000
acre tract.
This is the beginning, in fact, of the
growing or manufacture" of apples
in Northeast Georgia on a large scale
commercially. There are many small
orchards in that section of the state
and they have produced apples of even
a finer grade than those which come
from the Northwest Pacific coast.
1t takes about five years for an ap-
pie tree to begin to bear, but at the end
Of seven or eight years it can easily
be counted upon, if proper attention
has been given, to yield approximately
S.. The anticipated income from these
$4,000 trees in seven years, therefore,
is a quarter of a million dollars.
I've no longer raise or grow apples:
we manufacture Them" said Louis p.
Magid, who is engaged in the develop
ment of the apple industry in that sec
ton with a view to making it rival
the peach industry of Middle oSuthern
Georgia. Mr.. Magid referred to the
practice of taking a nondescript tree
and by the proc ess of grating or bud
ding making it produce any variety o!
apple desired.
The apple growers of Northeast
Georgia held an apple show in Atlanta
this fall, and while the exhibit was y
a small scale, it cleary showed the
wonderful fruit possibilities of thai
section of The state.

Jersey /; New York 4; total loss for
the north 8.
A plan for additional delegates
where the republican vote was more
than 40 per cent of the total was re-
tacted because under it the north
would lose proportionally more than
the south. Under it New York's rep
resentation would be cut by eight and
Ohio's by five. The subcommittee
unanimously agreed on the 35 per cent
plan.
Vote Is Unanimous.
The plan of the sub-cC mmittee to
recognize primary laws and change the
rules governing conventions was adopt
ed by the national committee by an
unanimous vote. On point raised by
Committeeman Chubb of Florida, it
was announced that the resolution
would be changed SO that In states
where it is optional whether party
shall hold primaries for the election Of
delegates they shall be selected in the
delegates they shall be selected in tn
old manner and the primary plan shall
be observed only in states where the
law provides specifically for such
action.
Amendment Accepted.
With the resolution for reapportion-
ment Of delegates, an amendment was
accepted providing that the basis for
the selection of delegates from each
congressional district in addition to
enc should be based On the republi-
can vote for republican presidential
electors in 1908, or for the republican
candidate for congress in 1914 which

r. B. Howell of Nebraska, submitted
minority report. He concurred in
everything except the apportionment
scheme and declared he believed the
proposal of the majority would be
subversive of the object of the meeting
and result in future embarrassment to
the republican party. He contended
that the principal purpose of the meet
ing was to reduce southern representa-
ton in republican national conventions
and that he did not believe that the
apportionment scheme as proposed
would remedy the difficulty. The
elimination of only 81 delegates from
all the southern states, Mr.. Howell
asserted would not in his opinion be
satisfactory to the republicans Of the
country.
