FREIGHT RATES HIT
THE APPLE GROWERS
If the New Rates Allowed In
Georgia, Cheaper to Buy Out
OF State Than at Home

1t the New Rates Allowed In
Georgia, Cheaper to Buy Out
Of State Than at Home.
Cornelia, Ga, April 8.-The
Georgia Apple Growers Associa-
ton met here today in pursuance
to &C all of the president of the
organization, Colonel l. c. Wade.
The meeting was very largely at
tended by the apple-kroweds OF
this section as wei as many Wis
itors who have orchard interests
here.
Officers for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: r. H.
Black, president; H. r. Staight,
vice-president; Phil Ogletree, sec
rotary and ]. w. Preyton, treas
urer.
The matter OF freight rates YVES
discussed at length and the asso-
citation unanimously adopted res
oltions protecting against the pro-
posed increase IN interstate
freight rates Whic hinvolves an
increase Of 0 to Us per cent over
the present rates of shipping ap-
pies and other fruits from this
point to other points in this state.
The association contends that the
railroads are unjustly discrimina-
ting gainst them in that a carload
of apples can be shipped from
Rishmond, Va, to Thomasville,
Ga, two and half cents cheaper
per 100 than it can be shipped
prom Cornelia to Thomasville by
the proposed new rate.
The apple industry in this sec
ton is just in its infancy, and any
increase of cost in marketing the
fruit will result in a complete
stagnation of one of its most
promising sources of wealth.
