SCARCITY OF FRUIT NOW
DELAYS CANNING PLANT

The Americas canning plant has not
yet started up fully for the peach
canning season, but will probably be
under way within a few days. To the
unusual scarcity of peaches here is
largely due the delay in getting TO
work there, as local orchards are not
to be depended upon this season for
any quantity of fruit, and shipments,
therefore, will be made here from the
orchards about Fort Valley and Mar
slta'lv lie and other sections, where
the fruit is more abundant At this
Gate last year the canning plant was
in full operation, with a considerable
fore of helpers employed, as the or
chards here supplied large portion Of

Mr. Nicholsons further utterances are SO pertinent
at this time that the American Issue reproduces as
follows, the greater portion of his article:
ust at present the press of the country is wrest-

few columns Of statistics which they have never taken
time to anayze. The fact is overlooked or ignored
that the apparent increase in consumption is wholly
in the revenue collection districts where the license
system is enthroned and where public sentiment ap-
parently condones the traffic in intoxcants Another
fact is that there is annual increase in population
in the United States of at least one and half millions
