What Apples Are Worth

A controversy between Wenatchee
newspapers and some Eastern farm jour
nails over the productiveness of Wenat-
chez orchards has brought out some in
teresting facts concerning apple grow
ing in that district.
An erroneous report was carried in
Eastern papers that L. w. Smith had
averaged $3,235 an acre on his fve-acre
orchard in Wenatchee for several years.
The skepticism with which this report
is commented upon in the East is moi
to be wondered at, says the Wenatchee
World. The fact is, that owing to q
misprint, we should Judge, the amount
is given per acre when it should have
said per year.
The World continues with the state
ment that it knows it to be absolutely
true that this orchard has averaged
1925 per year for seven years, and
that there are hundreds of acres in or
chards of this section that can show as
good records as the Smith orchard. o.
G. France has an acre of wine-saps
which in 1911 paid him 1854 on the
sale OF the fruit.
Orchard growers near Wenatchee last
fall combined in reports showing close
to an average Of 500 boxes (bushels)
to the acre. and still more significant,
tits asserted, is the report of the state
horticultural inspector. He reported
that IS per cent of the Wenatchee
Valley apple crop grades extra fancy
pack, and that less than per cent OF
the orchard run shows even trace OF
worms, including stings.
These are interesting facts. They
are worth careful consideration by every
one interested in Washington and its
possibilities. Seattle Sun, March 30th,

Success in the Revival Meetings

The special meetings closed last Sun
day night, held in the Congregational
church for the last three weeks. Last
Sunday was busy day for the evangel-
list and the faithful ones. Twenty-eight
made stand in the meetings, seven
the last night. DR.. Robert A. Thorn
son, pastor of the First Baptist church,
Wenatchee, came up and baptized sew
en- in the river in the afternoon. They
also organized a Baptist church with
thirteen charter members, and full set
OF officers, also Union Sunday School
with officers, seventy-four in attendance,
so that the little church will start out
with bright prospects. God bless them
in their efforts, and make a spiritual
church, that will be a credit to Leaven-
worth. The crowded house at all of the
services on the last day, was witness
that the people appreciated the work
and the generous offerings was also a
proof that the people appreciated the
evangelist's work. All bills were paid,
and some OF the Christians were greatly
revived and blessed. God alone knows
houu rnanv were saved Those that
stayed away not only missed the bless
ing, but showed where they stand as
Christians. The Devil is using them,
instead of God, and they will get their
reward when the Master comes. Rev.

A BIG CROWD IN sALUDA.
Many Attend Campaign Meeting
Candidates Got Good Hearing.

Saludas July 25.-The candidates

Saluda county to-day by probably the
second largest audience of the cam
paign, the crowd being variously esti-
mated at from 1000 to 1000, about
500 of Whom were women and chill
dren.
The meeting was characterized by
no special features except the enthu-
siastic. reception rendered Governor
Blease at the conclusion Of his
speech. He was lifted upon the
shoulders of his admirers and carried
from the grove in which the meeting
was held to the center of the town,
about one-half a mile distant, by
several hundred of his cheering fol-
lowers.
The audience was otherwise un-
demonstrative, but there was some
attempt to heckle Senator Smith and
Governor .Blease.
Governor Blease made his usual
characteristic speech. which was
principally an attack on Senator
Smiths. record and the May conven-
ton, which drafted the new rules
governing the Democratic primary.
Senator Smith, although his voice
was in poor condition and he was
frequently interrupted, made an elo-
quent speech on cottor and his rec
ord in the Senate.
w. p. Pollock the last speaker
exploited the record of Governor
Blease
l.. d. Jennings was not present, the
county chairman announcing that he
was unable to come.

KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Anderson Young Man Meets Death at
TOccoa, Ga.
(Toccoa Record. }


Guy Compton was injured in an
Thursday afternoon, receiving inju-
ries from which he died at 4 o'clock
Friday morning.
While riding in an automobile near
w. NJ. Kilgo's residence with San
ford Vandiver, Henry Freeman and
Tom Bridges, the machine struck a
water pipe, throwing Compton and
Bridges, who were in the rear seat,
out OF the car.
The party was on the extreme
right Of the street trying to avoid a
collision with a passing team which
had pulled over In front of them, and
when Compton was thrown from his
seat he struck telegraph pole. AS
the machine passed by he was terri
bly, crushed about the abdomen and
legs. He was Immediately taken to
a physicians office, where his right
leg was amputated, and at the time
1t was thought that by the operation
the accident would not prove fatal.
The direct cause Of his death was
from bleeding internally from iniu-
ries received in the crash.
Mr.. Compton's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fl. T. Compton, OF 1924 w. Mar
ket street, Anderson, S. c., were at
once notified of the serious nature of
the accident. Mrs. Com pton arrived
here about 20 minutes before the
end came, his father not reaching
Toccoa until Friday afternoon, being
absent from home at the time.
Mr.. Compton was 26 years OF age,
and was employed in the yards here
by the Southern Railway Company.

GLORIOUS FOURTH
PLANS WILL BE DISCUSSED AT A
MEETING OF THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE THURSDAY NIGHT.

There will be a meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce next Thursday night
for the purpose of discussing plans
for the Fourth Of July celebration. Sev.
eral business men have expressed the
opinion that the Fourth of July at
traction should be held at Lorena
Park, and in the event it is decided to
do So the traction company will re-
spond literally for the comfort of the
patrons OF the park on that date. 1t is
argued that the traction company is
local concern, struggling to give the
city service and they are entitled TO
the business this date will bring. These
same men state that they are willing
and are in for having a big basket pic
mic at Wilmington park later in the
season.
All this will be thrashed out at the
Thursday night, and every
member of the Chamber of Commerce
is urged to be present.

THIS FACT BECAME DEFINITELY

DAY FOR FIRST TIME.
PLAN OF AMERICANS
Proposed Peace Plan Submitted to the
Mexicans Today America Will
Try to Have Plan Submitted to the
Consttutionalists.

Niagara Falls, June 9.-Mexico will
not be asked to pay any war indem.
nifty to the United States. The Huer.
ia delegates have been informed that
the Americans will be content when
a stable government has been re.
stored and will not seek reprisals.
This fact. although made known
definitely only today was a powerful
factor early in the negotiations in
making the way easy for the Huer;a
delegates to accept the United States
other proposals.
The American peace plan was sub
mitted to the Mexican delegates to.
day. 1t is essentially the same as the
previous proposals but is not made
public.
In submitting this plan, the United
States makes a strong play to get
the constitutionallsts into the confer
ence. After the Huerta delegates are
satisfied, the United States will insist
that the plan be at least submitted
to the constitutionalists before ratif-
cation
The mediators may recess during
this submission. The mediators
changed their mind today and did not
make public their correspondence
with General Carranza, because they
learned that his latest reply is ac-
tually on its way to Niagara Falls.
The entire American peace plan is
reported to be of less than three
hundred words in length.
