INDICATIONS
OF A short
PEACH CROP
ONLY HALF CROP
According to Advance ESti-
mates Here

With all the dangers and viccitudeg
usually attending the peach crop OF
this section safely weathered by the
growers, there is much speculation DIS
to the yield here this season. That It
will be small, in comparison to last
years crop is an evident fact, as a
look over the several orchards here
would indicate. The best orchards
here promise a crop of perhaps, fifty
per cent. In the other orchards the
yield will be considerably less; as low
as ten per cent. in the Ware orchard,
according to the opinion of Mr.. j. L.
Glawson, the manager.
Mr.. Glawson stated yesterday that be
thought a ten per cent. crop a full
estimate of that orchard, and that of
some others here. The crop failure is
attributed largely to the lack of prun-
ing and care of the orchards, and to
the heavy rains during the blooming
period, which washed pollen from the
blooms. This latter casualty, M,
CIawson stated, was most serious, as
with the pollen removed the blooms
fell from the tree. In the Ware Or
chard there are more than 100000
trees, Mr.. Glawson says, and some very
fine fruit has been produced there ia
recent years.
Mr.. L. M. Hansford has an orchard
of 5000 trees, which are given care
full attention. Mr.. Hansford expects a
fifty per cent. crop this year
The cutting down of the Bagley or
chard with its 100000 trees severaf
months ago, with the poor crop pros
pect otherwise this year, would seem
to indicate a small fruit yield from tbs
Americas territory, which in recent
years has come into prominence as one
Of the most productive fruit sections
of Southern Georgia.
The young peaches are now attain,
ing considerable size, and the first
varieties will be upon the market in
three weeks. These are the Hiley
Bellies, a fine peach, which ripens about
June 10th to 18th, and is followed iii
rapid succession by others of the early
varieties.

Granger, Hammond charity worker,
found a three-year-old lad named Ted
dy in a tenement house last night
where his mother was too i'll to talk
Mrs. Granger took Teddy home to care
for him. She is willing to give him up
now to any one who wants him, and i
is believed his antics are responsible
for the condition of his mother Here
is his record for today:
Knocked out Mrs. Hammond's seven
year-old son, Forest, by hitting him in
the stomach with a baseball bat; whip
ped nine-year-old Ellis Granger, who
went to the rescue; set fire to the
house by starting a fire with box Of
matches in a clothes closet; emptied
a kerosene can in the parlor and tried
to plant garden seeds in the mess;
turned the hose on Lawyer H. E. Gran
ger, his benefactors husband and ruin-

Spring Time Is
Blood Cleaning Time
Wonderful How Quickly Your Entire System
Awakens When the Blood is CIeansed.

If you are down with rheumatism:
if you sneeze, feel chilled, are choked
with catarrh, have a cough, or your
skin is pimpled and irritated with
rash, eczema, or any other blood dis
order, just remember that almost all
the ills of life come from impure
blood. And you can easily give your
blood good, thorough cleansing,
bath, by using S. S. S. There is no
need for anyone to be respondent over
the illness of blood impurities. No
matter how badly they attack the sys-
tenn, or how unsightly becomes the
skin, just remember there is one in
gredient in S. S. S. that so stimulates
the cellular tissues throughout the
body that each part selects it's own
essential nutriment from the blood
This means that all decay, all break
ing down of the tissues, is checked and
repair work begins S. S. S. has such
specific influence on all local cells as
to preserve their mutual welfare and
afford proper relative assistance to
each other. More attention is being
given to constructive medicine than
ever before and S. S. S. is the highest
achievement in this line. For many
years people relied upon mercury,
iodide of potash, arsenic, physics
cathartics and dope" as remedies for
blood sickness, but now the pure,
vegetable S. S. s. is their safeguard.
You can get S. s. S. in any drug
store, but insist upon having it. And
you should take no chance by per-
hitting anyone to recommend a sub
stitute. And if your blood condition
is such that you would like to con-
suit a specialist freely and confden-

RAILROADS TELL ABOUT
COST OF CARRYING MAILS
say Methods of Weighing viii BE
Unfair.

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE railroads
of the country have just issued bulle-
tin which carefully explains why they
are put to great and unusual expense
in carrying Uncle Sans mails, and
shows the reasons why the present
pay they are receiving is extremely in.
adequate. The bulletin shows that the
special postoffice mail cars in use IN
Georgia and other states are expen-
sive to haul. Unless they are over 40
feet long, the railroads fit them up as
postoffices and haul them free, and
the weight of mail that the govern
ment actually pay for is too light for
the profit. In one year the railroads
provided 1919 cars fitted up as post
offices for carrying mail with a mail
messenger free, for the use of which
the government did not pay cent, ex-
ccpt for the weight of a handful of
mail
The railroads also claim they have
lost hundreds of thousands of dollars
by unfair methods of weighing the
mail. The railroads are looking to the
democratic congress to correct the al
legged injustice.

ELECTRICIANS ASK
FOR EIGHT HOUR LAW
Electrical Workers to Urge Congress
to Fix Hours in All Grants to
Corporations.

Des Moines, Feb. 14.-Electrica1
workers Of the United States will ask
congress to place an agreement for 8
hours a day labor in all grants here
after given corporations. They will
ask the support of all labor unions for
the movement. The demand at this
time is occasioned, declares James
Fitzgerald, general vice president OF
the electrical workers, by the labor
conditions incident to the building of
the dam at Keokuk. Mr.. Fitzgerald
declares that most of the labor there
was foreign, that they work long hours
and that union labor has been prac-
tically barred from the power ex-
tensions now being made by the ten
hours demanded of the workmen.
The petition being circulated here
asks congress to "enact a law fixing
as part Of each and every grant of
natural resources made to individual
or corporation 4 wherein labor is en-
ployed. a provision fixing the hours Of
labor in the doing Of the work in the
exercise Of the right OF franchise
granted to it to eight hours per day.

The secret service men have a
frame shack, with a stove and chairs,
opposite the Wilson home and through
its many windows they can see ap.
proaches from every side. The gov
ernor had an appointment in Phila-

panies have been on duty there since
Tuesday morning, four more were
ordered out last night, and the com
mander of every organization In the
West Virginia national guard has com
pleted preparations to move at an

The boundaries of the martial law
zone may be extended to cover the
region north Of the Kanawha river
where yesterday proclamations were
said to have been posted demanding
the lives of Gov. Glasscock and other
leaders in the state government. The
arrest Of Mother Jones, who has been
among the miners of that section Tor
months, has aroused them, and re-
ports of secret meetings have come
to the capital this morning from many
towns and camps in the district.

morning the word was given out they
would be held in the city to guard the

HOUSE WORRIED
ABOUT THE BIG
EXPENDITURES
How to Reduce Appropria-
tions Giving Congress
Considerable Food for
Thought.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE
congestion OF appropriation bills in
the house has put democratic leaders
to urging sweeping reform in the ap'
propriations system and seeking a
way Of extricating the house from Its
present position without making a rec
ord for expenditures.
With half a dozen of the main ap.
preparation measures piled up for ac-
ton and the aggregate Of appropria.
tions threatening to run far over the
billion mark, the leaders find two
plans available. Either the appropria.
ton bills as framed, with their vastly
increased totals must be rushed
through in the few remaining days OF
the session or the house must go on
record as being unable to complete it's
work and allow the appropriation
bills to go over until the special ses.
sion. Neither course is taken as. fully
agreeable.
In the face of this dilemma the
leaders are demanding that before the
next house settles down to make its
appropriations system be evolved to
provide for the division of the avail.
able public funds to the various pur-
poses for which money must be ex-
pended. Representative Fitzgerald,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, Representative Shirley of Ken
lucky, former Speaker Cannon and
Minority Leader Mann are among
those who insist that reform is neces-
sary.
Representative Shirley is the author
of a resolution to place all the money
to be appropriated by congress under
the control of special budget COM
mittee'' which would apportion the
funds to- the. various. appropriat ting
committees.
The economy advocates on the
democratic side of the. house were
active today in the criticism Of the
general plan Of appropriations but
they made the $146,000,O00 naval ap-
preparation bill their special object Of
attack. Opponents Of a large navy, fol-
lowing a series of conferences, were
prepared to attack the two battfeship
provisions Of the bill and there were
many threats of filibusters to prevent
the passage of the bill at this session.
