people whose nobility of soul, whose

GEORGIA LEADS In
PEACH SHIPMENTS
MOST OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT is
CANNED, SAYS BULLETIN IS
SUED BY DEPARTMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. Georgia
normally leads all other states in the
production and shipment of its peach
crop, according to a special survey
and bulletin of the department of
agriculture California has a larger
yield, the department says, but most
of it's peaches are canned, while
Georgia ships to the fresh markets.
1t is announced that in the COM
bined number of trees of both bear
ing and non-bearing age Georgia was
exceeded by Texas and California.
While the yield in California is far
in excess of the yield in Georgia, the
bulletin shows that large part of
the peach crop of the latter state is
used for drying and canning, so that
in shipments of fresh fruit, in seasons
of a good crop, Georgia normally
leads all other states.
In general the commercial peach
interests of Georgia are in the cen
trail and northern portions of the
state. BY far the largest center of
production is Fort Valley, in Hous-
ton county, according to the bulletin.
The next most important center, on
the basis of size, are adjacent areas
in Crawford and Macon counties. Sew
eral other counties adjacent to these
also contain large interests.

PRICE OF CLOTHING
TO KEEP SOARING
RETAILERS ARE NOT TO BLAME,
ASSERTS AN OFFICIAL. THE
CAUSES BEYOND CONTROL.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Clothing prices
will continue upward next spring
Charles E. Wry, secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Retail Clothiers,
announced today.
Popular priced suits, which sold be-
fore the war at $25 and now retail at
$50, will bring $50 or more next
spring, Wry said.
Decentralization of the industry in
cident to the army demands for uni
forms during the war, greatly in
creased labor costs and shortage of
labor due to the stoppage of whole
sale immigration are responsible,
Wry added. Piece workers in Chica-
go clothing factories are earning as
high as $135 weekly, he said. From
one of the poorest paid industries,
employing largely immigrant work
ers before the war, the needle trades
have become one of the best paid.
Wage increases since 1914 average
IT'S per cent, Wry said, while gov
eminent reports fix the increase in
the cost of living during the same
period at 131 per cent.

John NJ Morehead, republican, of

Mecklenburg county, which polled
3,675 Hoey votes to 1872 for More

the democrats the biggest majority
The Morehead legions carried Burke

Some of these patients, of course,
pay for the service they receive. 1t
may surprise many, however, to know
that very great part of the service
rendered by the Wesley Memorial
hospital is to those unable to pay.
During the year of 1919 considerably
more than half of the patients treat
ed were able to pay in part only and
1875 were treated absolutely free.
Both of the Georgia conferences
have heartily approved the asking, at
this Christmas season, for an offering
to maintain the charity service of this
institution. On Sunday morning, De-
