FLA. LINE IS
EXPECTED
North Georgia Fruit to Have
Close Rum No Fears in
South Part.

The official thermometer went down
to one degree above the freezing
point Wednesday night, but high
winds and a partial cIoudiness saved
the fruit crop in Georgia. f. L. Wor-
sham, State Entomologist, and the
Georgia Fruit Exchange agreed that
no damage had been done TO date.
AS to Thursday night and Friday,
the experts also agree that If the tenn
perature gets below freezing and the
wind goes down, the North Georgia
peach crop, at least, will have a close
run, with utter extinction threatened,
and a large loss certain.
Can't Stand Freeze Now.
AT that" said one of the experts
in the office of the Georgia Fruit Ex-
change, lit wouldn't be known for
two or three days just what the dam
age amounted to. Sometimes a freeze
is deadly; at other times it doesn't
seem to hurt much. I've seen new lit
tie peaches covered with ice. and
come out of it we'll and strong. But
the North Georgia crop is in such
shape now that a severe frost would
do great damage don't look for any
trouble in she southern part of the
State"
The thermometer in Atlanta stood
at SO degrees at Z a. M. the time Of
the official morning observation.
Temperature Rises.
At 10 O'Clock ii had risen TO 4S de-
grees and was mounting steadily, Of
tering some hopes that the great vol
ume of cold air pouring down from
the Northwest had been sidetracked
somewhere along the route.
Reports from Washington, however,
discouraged that idea and suggested
furs and overcoats for Easter Sun
day, predicting frost as far south as
Northern Florida by Friday morning.
If this prophecy is realized, not only
the fruit crop in North Georgia, but
also that in South and Middle Geor-
gia, is in danger Of grave damage
by the unreasonable cold.

think the newspaper men are persis-
tent duns as they keep reiterating,
look at the label on your paper"
move up the date, you are back
on your subscription" pay what
you owe, pay up" pay U.s." Now
let a farmer or business man place
himself in a similar position and
see if he would not do the same.
Suppose farmer raises a crop of
one thousand bushels of wheat and
his neighbor should buy a bushel.
and the price was two dollars or
less, and the neighbor says, Il will
pay you the sum in a few days."
AS the farmer dosn't want to be
small in the matter of small things
he says, all right" Another comes
in the same way until the whole of
one thousand bushels are gone out
to the one thousand different per :
sons. No one purchaser concerns
himself about it, and, of course, that
could not help him any. He does
not realize that the farmer has fritz
tered away his crop of wheat in
little dribs and that he is seriously
embarrassed in his business because
his debtors treat it as small matter
But if all would pay him promptly.
which they Could do as well as not,
it would enable him to carry on his
business without difficulty. The
above comparison is too true of the
difficulties that a newspaper man
has to contend with.-Franklin
