EI.IAISTERLIN E BROS BROS.
AND POOLE SONS
SPLIT ON HONORS
Three Crates Co To
New Orleans, One
To Atlanta

Sumter county's first peaches of
the 1921 crop were shipped this aft
ernoon and Wednesday they will be
on the retail fruit markets OF Allan
ia and New Orleans. The first ship
ment, brought TO the. express office
about IL go a. M, consisted of one
crate, grown by J. H. Poole & Sons
and was consigned to Bell Brothers,
prominent Atlanta commission firm.
Shortly after / o'clock this afternoon
W. o. Easterlin, of Eagterlin Bros,
Andersonville, brought in three
crates, consigned to j. Mustache &
Coz New Orleans.
Messrs. Poole last year furnished
Bell Brothers with their first crate
of the season and it is likely this
will be their first this year, a mes
sage from that house a couple of
days ago having been received stat
ing that they had not yet been Of
fered any peaches and inquiring
whether a consignment might not be
expected at once. The fruit was
picked from the Pooles' Maddox Sta
ton orchard and was of the May
flower variety, of good size, rich col
or, and sound quality. 1t is expect
ed to bring a fancy price.
The Easterlin peaches were grown
by Easterlin Brothers in the Ander-
sonville orchard and also were May
flowers Of fine size and quality.
They likewise in former years have
been early shippers, and were fortu-
nate enough this season to divide
honors equally with Messrs. Poole on
the first shipment and exceed them
IN quantity,
Both of these growers will have
crate shipments going out almost dai-
" from now until the early crop is
zone and others will be in the mar
kct at once. The Easterlins, how
ever, report short crop of May
flowers, as a result of recent DAM
noe from the cold weather.
Agent Wade Morris. of the Ex-
nrcss Comnonv here. who handled all
Of todav's shipments, received one
crate of reaches last week for an Ell
aville shipper for New York, but

shipper. This was the first ship

CITY FINDS Way
TO OFFSET RAISE
IN STREET LIGHTS
Schedule Of Hours Cut
Down On Moonlight
Nights

The battle of wits still RACES be,
tween the City and the Americas
Lighting company-under cover and
silently just now but RACES, never
theless. Some days the Lighting
company comes off seemingly victor
ious. On other days the City appears
to emerge with the laurels. And the
next day always sees a renewal of
the contest.
About the first of the year the city
council, acting with Mayor Sheppard,
adopted a budget of expenses for the
year, as required under the new Pace
budget bill. This limited the city to
expenditures listed in the budget,
which appropriated all of the visible
income of the city for the pf@Rent
year. In the budget a total Of $6,S@O
was appropriated for city street light
ing, the sum being equal to what had
been paid for the service in the pre-
ceding year. Along come the Light
ing company, however and filed ap-
plication with the Georgia Railroad
commission for an increased rate
for street lighting service, and re-
Gently a new schedule of rates was
granted the company by the commits
sion for street lighting, effective
from Jan. l, 1921, which, for the
same service as in former years,
would bring the city's street lighting
bill up to about $4,000, according to
the estimate of City Engineer Tiede-
man.
The city was plainly in a guam
Diary. With its limit appropriated Tor
street lights, and the rate increased,
| it appeared that the city was doomed
either to go dark for about third
Of the year or find the additional
money by taking needed funds
away from some other department.,
already pared to the limit. But
search has rewarded the city officers,
A way has been found by which lights
may be had when needed and the
annual light bill, even at the new
rate, kept within the schedule of
$4,000. Briefly, the city proposes to
eliminate the street lights after IL
o'clock on moonlight nights, begin-
n;ngs at once. They will burn every
night until II o'clock and on night
when the moon is dark all night. The
calendar furnishes the schedule Of
| light and dark nights from which a
chart showing the days and hours for
turning on and off the curEent is be-
ing compiled to be turned over to
the Lighting company. Manager Ro-
gers, of the Lighting company has
already been notified that the part
time plan will be employed by the
city and he has assured the city that
its instructions as to time current is
wanted will be followed. The city
has arranged to do its own checking
of the schedule each night to be sure
that it is followed exactly.
Under the all-night plan, the city
has been using about 1000 hours OF
street lighting per year. Under the
part-time plan for economy about q
800 hours, or saving of 25 per cent,
will be used, it is estimated. This
will mean a street light bill Of only
slightly over $4,000 per year, IN
stead of $4,000 under the new rate

Questions of transportation and
industrial Development go hand in
hand. and both are absolutely de-
padcn. on the buying public.
without going into arguments pro
and con, Il is generally conceded that
the artificial cost of transportation
which has ben forced by an artificial
railroad wage scale and working
conditions, has raised the cost OF
freight and passenger transportation
10 point that discourages rather
& - encourages traffic.
TIL railroad labor unions could
fo.cc the railroads to pay these wag-
cs aud the roads can require the pub
lie to pay rates to cover these wages
:. {, ridcr, but neither the roads nor
nc unions can force the people to
ride In order to pay rates sufficient TO
rla.ntain war time wages.
The railroad labor unions, in re-
sisting a normal readjustment in war
time wage scales and working condl-
lions are acting unwisely as they
simply curtail their own chances for
employment through lack OF business
