The Story Of Pearls

Diamonds have magnificent story
Of their own. They are the dazzling
jewels Of kings, kingdoms, emperors
and empires.
. But pearls have perhaps a superior
charm as womanly ornaments. 1t
is recorded that the late car of Rus
STA occupied himself diligently for
full quarter of a century in col
lecting and matching a rope of first
class pearls for his wife, the hapless
czarina. He seems to have been a
family man, and devoted to his wife
and the mother of his four daugh-
tiers and the hapless heir, who al
persisted in a tragic way at the same
time. In that fateful hour, when the
assassins dispatched the entire royal
family Of Russia they had little time
and no heart to think Of the vast
quantity of royal gems that had en-
crossed so much time and cost so
much money to collect and amass.
The Russian jewels of the crown
were perhaps the finest in the history
of the world, as to quantity and in
trinsic value, the accumulation OF
centuries. This rope of pearls worn
on the neck and beautiful bust of
the czarina perhaps added to the
popular dislike for the titled woman.

Alex was one of the most attractive

the best so-called matrimonial
catches, in all Europe. She would
have been the accepted wife OF
Alexis, the elder brother of which

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July g.
Conrad w. Austin, chief of the Ala

on Monday will ask the Mobile cir
cult court to make arrangements for
the trial at once of the four law en-

charges of trespass, assault and bat
terry and other minor counts, it was
announced here tonight.
In announcing that he would go to
Mobile, Austin declared he believed
there should be an immediate trial
Of the men in order that the charges
may be proved or disproved.
"Since the allegations are made in
an official report of the grand jury
the law enforcement department feels
that there should be disposal of the
charges without delay" said Aus
tin
"Citizens of Mobile are entitled to
know whether there is sufficient evil
dence to substantiate the charges"
Austin continued. THE trials should
be contaminated at once In order that
the men may continue their services
or be relieved Of their duties"

The Peach Growing. Areas of
Georgia

R. T. P, Cardova, Nd, writes:
l would like to know the peach
growing sections of Georgia. 1
understand they are grown in
the northern part of the state in
the mountains. What is your
opinion of this section? What
month is the major portion Of
the crop harvested? What is
peach land worth under the pillow?
There are several distinctive peach
growing sections in Georgia. The
center of our peach industry is
around Fort Valley. Quite extensive
developments are now, taking place
around Cuthbert and in the vicinity
of Thomasville, Ca, and at other
points in the southwestern part of
the state. There are also large orch
ards in the vicinity of Bradley and
| Round Oak, in the territory which
lies north of Macon, Ca, and in the
direction of Augusta. There are also
extensive orchards in the vicinity OF
Marietta, and other northwest tern
points. There are large plantations
in the vicinity of Cornelia, Ga
which is in the foothills of the Blue
| Ridge mountains. Peaches of the
most excellent quality can be grown
in any of these sections because the
| soil seems to be ideally adapted for
~
| conditions are favorable. It rarely
happens that frost damages the fruit

| Valley or at points farther south in
