MUCH MONEY AS EVER
FOX THE PEACH OUTPUT
What is Short in Quantity is
Made Up in Price

Fort Valley, Ga, June 26.-Instead Ct
hard times" which some of the peach
growers had forecasted some time ago
would obtain this year in the. peach
district, the growers are now getting
the record price for their fruit and
!, the unusually short crop will probA-
bly, net them possibly as much as they
received for the big crop of 1912.
Buyers in the North and East are
paying from $2.75 to $500 per crate
for the peaches f. o, b. here, and for
an average car of 900 crates the grow
ers are getting in the neighborhood Il
$4,000.
Growers last year received from Is
cents to 81 per crate and on car re-
ceive a total of from $675 to 5000 f. q.
b. Central Georgia shipping stations.
Central Georgia last year received
approximately $5,OOO,OOO for the en-
tire crop of about 5000 cars.
May Aggregate As Much.
The crop for this season is various
lily estimated at from 900 to 1900 cars
At the prices now being paid and
which are expected to obtain through
out the season, their total crop will
bring them in about $5,000,0OO, u
about the same as last year.
1t is expected that the net profit
will be even greater than last year
and hundreds of employees have been
cut off this season and a smaller
amount of work has been necessary
to reap the big prices being paid.
E. ]. Willingham, one of the largest
growers of Central Georgia, stated yes
terday that his New York agent wires
that the supply does not equal the
demand there and that even higher
prices are expected. He wired that
$3.50 per crate is being offered in New
York for Georgia peaches.
High Quality Fruit.
The quality of the fruit this season
is above the standard and all of the
fruit thus far gathered has been easily
marketed
In the same measure that the early
peaches have been of fine quality and
good prices have been obtained for
them, it is expected that the Elbertas
will be equally good and that record
prices will be offered for them when
they are marketed later in the season
The official report from the railroaj
Offices yesterday showed that 1903 cars
had been shipped up to midnight Mon
day night and about thirty cars went
forward last night.

IDA M. TARBELL ON J. p.
MoRGAN'S SELF-CoNFIDENCE.

Ida M. Tarbel writes about 1.-THE
Hunt for a Money Trust" in the May
American Magazine. She was present
at many of the hearings Of the Pujo
Committee when Samuel Untermeyer,
the Governments inquisitor, examined
some of the most famous witnesses.
In regard to ]. P. Morgan's testimony.
wherein the great man of Wall
Street" showed the wonderful conf
dence he had in himself, Miss Tar
bell says in part:
This superb and primitive conf
dence in his power to decide each case
as it came up, apparently on instinct,
certainly without formulated reason,
he showed best perhaps in telling how
he acquired the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society. This society has now
assets of something over $50O,0OO,OOO,
and by virtue of his ownership of 81
per cent. of it's stock its future was in
Mr.. Morgan's hands. For this control
he paid something in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 He drew on this
investment seven per cent. dividends
or about $3.50 year, about one-ninth
of one per, cent! Why did he make
such an investment?
"T bought the Equitable from Mr..
Ryan and Mr.. Hartman Mr.. Morgan

it was a desirable thing for the situa-

some years ago, entered upon his
eightieth year today and was the re-
cipient of congratulatory messages
from many friends on both sides of
the Atlantic. Primarily Baron Ave

banker too, one of the greatest in the
city of London. He comes of long
line of eminent bankers, and he him
self became a partner in Lubbock's
Bank, in Lombard street, at the age
of twenty-five. 1t is, however, by his
scientific works on the ancient yes
tiges and remains of man that Lore
Avebury has most distinguished him
self He has written numerous books
on zoology, physiology and archaeology
and has lectured many times on those
subjects before leading universities
