PEACH RECORDS BROKEN

Atlanta, Ga, June 8.-The most as
founding record in the history of the
Georgia peach industry has been
this season, according to figures Civ
en- out today by the Georgia Fruit
Exchange.
Up to June 5 there had been shipp-
ed a total of LAS cars, which was
by far the heaviest shipment ever
made since the industry was estab-
lished, The year 1912 was the next
largest for the early varieties, and in
that year up to June Fl the total ship
ment of early varieties was only All
cars. This means that the 1918 move
ment of early varieties has increased
275 per cent over the highest previous
year on record. Is
This condition has wrought a tre-
mendous hardship on the growers and
has resulted in great quantity of
fruit going to waste.
fruit going to waste. No grower
could possibly get adequate help to
handle the crop. This lack of ex-
perienced men accounts largely for
the poor condition in which many of
the shipments have reached their final
destination.
Now, however, since the regular
packers and pickers have been secur-
ed-their services not being obtain
able prior to the first days of June
a marked Improvement in pack and
condition will Immediately be mott
ceable.
The Hiley will enter the market on
June II, and B. J. Christman, gem
eral manager of the Fruit Exchange,
estimates that the total crop of this
variety will reach 1,400 cars, and Ell
bertas will probable go to 5000 cars.

Editor Leader-Enterprise,
Dear Sir: In order that people of
Ben Hill county may know what is
being advocated by different organi-
cations ! herewith submit for YOU
to publish the enclosed resolution
adopted by the Georgia Society of
Wardens and Road Superintendent,
and submitted to me for my approval:
Resolution
Resolved, that we are opposed to
any law changing our present High
way department UNTIL the State
Constitution is amended SO as to
give the State the power to levy taxes
to aid the counties in constructing a
system of STATE Highways"
Alter the taxpayers have studied
this resolution seriously as to what
1t would mean to them and the coun-
ty, they will readily join me in nppos-
ing any amendment to the State Con-
stltution for the levying Of a state tax
on the property of the county for the
purpose of building system of state
highways. If the Constitution were
SO amended it would apply to ali
counties alike, and many counties
would never see the returns for their
taxes IN system of state highways.
1t WoulG be expended on just such
highways as the Highway Depart
ment saw fit to spend it on. / am
one that wants to know when we
are doubled taxed in this way lust
where it will be spent If it is neces-
sary to tax the people for the build
ing OF good roads then why not pro-
vide Tor the counties to get the tax,
or In other words increase our coun-
~ tax where We can get the benefit
OF the tax directly and not have to
pay into the state to have wrangling
land squabbling over the question as
to which highway gets the benefit of
our money? We can keep good roads
IN our county at the present tax rate,
which has already gone over the top
without amending the state consti-
tuition to tax us for the upbuilding
of some other section.
am speaking generally for what
would apply to some other county
would apply to ours We don't need
this amendment to blind the people
to please the joy riders and pleasure
seekers. The patriotic people are be-
hind the government to help in every
way possible to win the war and the
JOY riders and pleasure seekers are
behind the taxpayers trying to lead
them into a scheme to plumber their
pockets that they may have pleasure
thereby.
! am opposed to any such thing. Ii
has been recently advocated for the
tjoint bonding of two or more coun-
ties where said counties had good
