Already there are planted to the
following varieties: Mayfower, Unee
da, Early Rose, Carmen, Hiley Bells,
Georgia Bells, liberia and Queen Of
Dixie. The early varieties, like the
Mayflower and Uneeda, bore literally
this year and brought good prices,
but they are not so popular with the
growers as the later varieties, to which
future orchards will be planted almost
exclusively. All the trees in the above
list are young, the first being planted
by Prothro & Sons in 1916 These
gentlemen came from Griffin, Ga, and
made special Investigations Of the soil,
etc, here, bought $50 acres in ALL 1875
acres OF, which was planted in peaches.
Last seasons weather conditions were
unfavorable, it was a disastrous year
in the old peach belt, but Prothro's
orchard, only part bearing, shipped
thirty-one cars that sold for $31 900.
All other orchards were planted sub
sequently.
Total shipments for this season is
approximately 215 cars.
Eighty-five per cent of the associa-
TONS shipments have been marketed
through the Georgia Fruit Exchange,
going to all the established markets
of the north, east and middle-west at
the top of the market as a rule.
The members OF the association are
ambitious for the development OF
Shellman district into a vast orchard
country. They know that every funda-
mental condition is favorable. They
realize the need of attracting new
blood. They are familiar with sur
rounding tracts Of land suitable for
peaches, and other products of special
kinds, and offer their services to find
desirable locations for those wishing
to settle here. They also invite gen
eral correspondence with readers de-
string further information OF any kind

SHELLMAN KNOWN AS
1.-THE PEACH TOWN"
NEW INDUSTRY HAS PROVED
PROFITABLE THIS SEASON.
215 CARS SHIPPED.

While Shellmans surrounding land
is for general agriculture equal to any
in Georgia, it is doubtful if this town
would ever have been notably put on
the map were it not for the courage
and progressive spirit of the men who
opened up the peach industry. To il
lustrate what this has meant for the
community: Ordinarily South Georgia
towns of similar size, dependent on
general agriculture would be at the
ebb of their business tide at this sea
son OF the year. Here the payroll from
the peach industry has been circulating
about $500 weekly for ten weeks, this
amount being SIS 5000, when the ma
jority of other places lacking such spe-
cial circulation have been at stand
still.
The success of the peach industry
and its future great prospects have
caused the growers to realize the val
tie of cooperation. Fortunately there
is basic good fellowship and willing
ness to yield something personally for
the sake of the common good. The
Shellman Peach Growers Association,
founded for mutual protection and for
the advancement OF the industry, is
composed of practically all the or
chardists in the Shellman territory.
The officers of the organization are
DIR. A. L. Crittenden, president, and
Mr. ]. N. Watts secretary treasurer
It's expenses are betrayed by assess
ments levied on the membership, based
on the number of Bearing trees, which
is over three-fourths of those planted.
Practically all will be bearing by
next season. The orchards in the She'll
man district are:

End Member for Christiansted Town
(Caneqata). You will notice that this
bill calls for additional notaries public
who will pay into the Treasury a fee of
$50. 90, consequently this must affect
che revenues of the Municipality.
The Chairman remarked: Such an
objection has never been made before
where the revenues of the Municipality
are concerned; it seem to me that this
is too tlifling a matter to hinder discus
sion on the Ordinance today.
End Member for Christiansted Town
(CamegatG) remarked: 1t seems to me
an important matter. | do not not con-

Chairman. How do you know what we
vote now will Drove that his objection is
right or wrong? How will the Council
prove that? 1t seems to me that this is
a legal question. You have just stated
that such an objection has never been
made before.
End Member for Christians5ed Town
(CdnegGtG). | wish to ask the Chairman
why this matter was not placed before
the Municipal Committee for its recon-
mendation?
The Chairman: 1t was placed before a
Committee of the whole House. | do
not know whether it was discussed by
the Municipal Committee.
End Member for Christiansted Town
(Canegatn). | can prove by asking the
Secretary to the Municipal Committee TO
bring his record book that this Ordinance
was not discussed in the Municipal Com
mittee.
4th Appointed Member (Blackwood) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. The Munich
pal Committee has been ignored so often
that it could be ignored on e again. The
Code of Laws was not discussed in the
Municipal Committee, it was passed
upon by a Committee OF 9 members
elected bV the Council.

| think my memory is pretty good, and
as far as | remember the present Char
man of the Colonial Council was the one
who made the motion ia the Committee
that as four members on the Code Com

Committee the Code should not be for
warded to the Municipal Committee.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Country
District (Andersen) remarked Mr..
Chairman. | am OF the opinion that #
Paragraph Z of the Bylaw has not been
made use Of it is nOt our fault; 1t is quite 4
human to forget, but when the Chair
man of the Municipal Committee brings
to the attention of the Council that there
is such a law, | think the Council should
be the last to vote contrary. We did not
know before, but we know tod ~, and
we should not %proposely evade the laws
The Chairman. The question IS left
entirely with the Council to decide
whether the motion made by End Mem
her for ChrisJiansted Town (Canegata)
is correct; or whether the statement
made by the Chairman and backed up
presidents is correct. | draw atten-
tion to Par. 4 of the Bylaw for
the Municipal Committee where it says:
The Municipal Committee supervises
and partakes in the administration Of
the economc cal affairs Of the Munich
pali.y according to the present By
Law adoFted by the Colonial COun-
Gil and sanctioned by the Ministry of
Finances,
AS economical affairs of the Munich
pality are to be considered all public
affairs connected with the Hospital

and Quarantine Departments, the
School Departments, in so far ranging

to hear him quote one.
The Chairman. Laws and Ordinances
concering the Judiciary have never been
sent to the Municipal Committee be
fore.
4th Appointed Member (BJockWood) re
marked: What the Chairman says is
correct. That's a question we have
been up against during the Danish
Administration and also under the
present Administration. Par. Z is no
criterion to stop the discussion on this
ordinance.
ls5 Member f~4 Cbri9daasted Town
(Ab 8ms0n) remarked: Mr.. Chairman
1t seems to me that we have men III this
Council who are only interested in iurth-
ering their own interests, We need men
in this Council with more independent
split The manner 10 which this mat
ter is being conducted is not fair to the
general public. We need men who will
stand here and do justice 10 their fellow

WOULD FILL IN
 LAKE BORDER
 TO MAKE LAND

CHICAGO, Feb. II (by Associated Press ).-Reclamation of the foreshore Cn Lake Michigan in the Chicago dis trict would provide nearly 100 square miles of land for wharves, ware houses and port facilities, according to report submitted to city officials by Col w. V. Judson, district war de- partment engineer. -..
 The report calls attention to the fact that ocean liners may dock at Chicago's wharves within the next fifteen years if the Great Lakes St.Lawrence river channel project is carried out. Such an outlet to the Atlantic would connect Chicago with the sea routes of the world. The coal mines of southern Illinois and the cotton belt of the south will feel the touch of Chicago commercial en- deavor through an eight-foot barge channel to the Mississippi, Never before did it seem as fair to point out in prophecy region-where there must be inevitably and soon be es- tablished the worlds greatest port facilities" the report says.
 "The foreshore of Lake Michigan fronting slopes very gently lake ward" the report continues, "so that the seven-fathom contour is four | miles off shore. This means that in our submerged lands, all publicly owned, the Chicago district possesses nearly hundred square miles any part of which 1t is within the pow CT of man to raise into land. This is an asset of almost incalculable value"
 Reviewing the sections or Chicago's lake front, Col Judson points out that Lakes Wolf and George lie close to Lake Michigan on the Hin. ois-Indiana line with six square miles of marshy land adjacent. This sec. tion offers the greatest opportunity in all this region for the creation of wharf facilities of 8 character, mag. nitude and location suited to the demands of the future" the report says.
 General plans for these narbor ia. cilities, Col Judson said, have been approved by the war department which is charged with studying har bor conditions under the Esch- Cum mins law.

WENATCHEE TO
 SAIL TO ORIENT
 IN EARLY APRIL,

SEATTLE, Feb. 11.-WIl Ameri- cans, who travel, back up the United states government and American steamship lines in their efforts to build up a great and profitable American merchant marine?
 The question is asked by k, q McMicken, passenger traffic manager of the Pacific Steamship Company which will inaugurate a direct steam. ship service under the American flag from Puget sound to Oriental ports next spring beginning with the sail ing of the Wenatchee on April 9.
 Success of the American merchant marine depends largely upon the SUD- port of our own people. The Ameri. can flag has been put back upon the seas and it will stay and multiply, if the people of the United States are loyal to it in their travel and in the shipment of their cargo.
 The Pacific Steamship Company will enter the competition for Orien. tai business next spring with a one- hundred per cent American service. Five new United States shipping board vessels have been allocated to the Admiral Line and, when all are received and put in commission, there will be sailings every two weeks.
 "A large passenger traffic has de. veloped on the Pacific mostly car ried by foreign vessels, though the traffic originates largely in the Unit. ed States. The foreign line which carries the greatest share of this business, derives S5 per cent of 1t from American territory.
 Establishment of the American service to Yokohama, Kobe, Shang- hai, Hong Kong and Manila by the Admiral line, will give this travel the opportunity to sail under it's own flag and help in maintaining and per. petuating the ascendency of the American merchant marine"

 The police have just arrested a gang of burglars who have long been wanted by the authorities for house. breaking in the suburbs and discov- cred that the gang was led by a widow aged 54 and her three sons. Another of the burglars was aided by his sister and two other women formed part of the band.
 Many of the robberies were accom- panied by particularly brutal assauts.

A Question Answered

Patrons having students away at
college ask how our students rank

schools of the state. A letter just
received from Miss jerome Sage

Dear Mr.. Morris:
For sometime 1 have wanted TO
write to you about Q matter which
| feel sure will be of interest to
you and to the patrons of the
Starkville High School, but in the
busy rush of daily duties l have
neglected it until now.
At the end Of the Semester. the
names of all students whose average
grade for the term had been ninet,
and above. were read out in chapel
There were from the entire student
body ,eighty.four girls whose names

Sta, kville High School. The names
are as follows: Alec Pate. Mar
gurite Briscoe. Bessie Barrie Brun-
son, Marianne Woodward, Ruth
Flusham. Marisddie Maxwell, and
Lucy Welborn.
AS far rs I am able to learn, this
is the highest representation from
any one school iu the state, and |
feel that YOU and the Starkville
people should be proud. indeed, of
the ecord.' shsuld like to add also
that these girls arc all leaders. too,
