Neither will the Bull Moose cause
be assisted in the right direction or be
given added strength by the annexa-
ton of Bill Sulzer as one of its assets.
Or is it an unwritten tenet of the Bull
Moose faith that a candidate for office
has the right to put in his pocket such
contributions as his friends see fit
to hand him? Should that be the case,
which it undoubtedly isn't. the people
generally would have even less use for

MOB FOR WILBURN
CALLED MYTHICAL

of Possible Violence.

State Senator elect w d. Mcneil,
of Macon, counsel for Mrs. James
King, charged jointly with Nick Will
burn with the murder of her hus-
band, wealthy Jones County planter
said to-day that sentiment in Jones
County was distinctly in favor of his
client and that the acquaintances Of
the imprisoned woman did not believe
her guilty of actual completely in the
killing.
Mr.. Mcneil laughed at the rumors
of a possible lynching when Wilburn,
the good looking young farm hand
who confessed to the Staying. Is
brought to trial at Grays before Judge
James B. Parks. the last week in
April.
THE talk of mob violence is rot, 50

The county is law abiding and
there never has been any serious talk
or thought of violence since the first
outbreak of anger against Wilburn
died down. The residents are per
fectly willing for the law to take its
course.

GEORGIA BANKERS
RAP LEGISLATURE
Forsyth Financier Declares Half
of Lawmakers Are IIIiterate and
Others Are "Dense."

MACON, GA, April 10.-The Georgia
Legislature received some hard raps at
the annual convention of Group Five, Of
the Georgia Bankers Association, here.
f. I. Persons, president of the Farm
ers' Bank of Forsyth, declared that
many Of the legislators could not read,
and that half of those able to read could
not understand even ordinary matters.
Orville A. Park, of Macon, attorney
for the Georgia Bankers Association,
said the 500 bankers of Georgia easily
could exercise a controlling influence
over the Legislature, and he urged the
bankers to use this influence toward
obtaining the passage of the banking
reform bill which was not acted upon
by the last session,
when the Representatives and Sena-
tors, who are mostly young lawyers,
come to you before going to Atlanta TO
attend the Legislature and seek to make
loans, then is the time for you to act,
he advised the bankers. Make the
loan of money contingent upon their
agreement to pass this bill just as we
want it

Z. TREBLE IN PRICE:

Georgia will ship 200 cars Of
peaches this year, and will get zoe
900 for them. Last year Georgia
shipped 1900 cars of peaches and got
sg,s2O.OOO for them.
Peaches will net growers two or
three times as much as in 1912" de-
clares II. D. Marks. manager of the
Georgia Fruit Growers Exchange.
The man who gets a fair crop this
YEAR will find it has paid him hand
somely. much more than the bumper
Weld of last year.
The unfortunate part of it is that
some have lost every peach. OF course
a1vancing prices do them no good.
THE man who has saved half his
reaches will find his profits at the end
of the season equal to last years.
Peaches are going to be scarce"
Reports coming in daily from Texas
and Arkansas place continually in
rreasing estimates of damage on the
crops in those States. AS Georgia pro-
duces about half the peaches and
Texas and Arkansas together the
other half. il is plain there will be a
shortage. and the fruit will not so for
a song as it did in 1912.
kilograms indicate that the COM
netting States suffered more severely
than Georgia Texas complaints
range from IS per cent damage to
total humiliation. Arkansas seems
10 have been hit as hard. No other
states ship during Georgia's season.
Florida ships a few sugar peaches,
little fellows, before the market is
ready for the fruit. No'thern States
come in behind.
The average net return to the grow
or last wear is placed AT $40O per car.
The average return this year. it is be-
Teved, viii he $1,000 per car. So
while some individually have lost
heavily. the State at large will be very
LITTLE out by the freeza.
