WILLINGHAM CASE TO
REACH JURY TO-DAY

MACON, JUtlH - Solicitor Gem
leral Garrett tddsty opened his argu-
raent in the case against Richard F.
Willinghan, charged with larceny
after trust. The case was expected
to go to the jury by the middle of the
afternoon.
Denying every charge made
against him by states witnesses, and
offerings explanations to substantiate
his statement, Willingham yesterday
entered an emphatic denial that he
had ever misappropriated one cent Of
money entrusted to him; denied ever
having made any admission of guilt,
and, with evident pathos in his voice,
left his fate with the jury.

GEORGIA CROPS
Peaches To Bring $4,000, ,00O
And Melons Half AS Much
Is Estimate

ATLANTA, June 9.-The Georgia
peach crop for this year, which is
now beginning to move, is expected
to bring into the state eight million
dollars, according to estimates made
here today. .
The Georgia peach is known in ev-
ery section of the United States
wherever peaches are offered on the
market. The state is known by its
peaches every year for a brief sea-
son. The state, too, is thus known
favorably. Georgia is also known TO
the world for its watermelons-for
Georgia has another synonym be-
sides ''peach' Georgia" is the same
as watermelons" in many far-set
market place. 1t is estimated that
the Georgia watermelon crop this
year will bring into the state some-
thing like three or four million dol
lars.
But the peach crop is just one crop
from Georgia. 1t is only one of sew
teral sources of income. The peach
as a great commercial item in mar
ket quotations has been developed to
its present dignity and actual money
importance by rather haphazard
method rather, indeed. by lack
of method. The Georgia. peach in
dustry "just growed. Yet it has
amounted to much-to millions. The
Georgia watermelon las Iecn more
systematically and in a more business
like manner developed, but that crop,
too, has in a way just come up of it
self.
However, today the most efficient
business skill is being centered upon
the Georgia peach as great item in
a seasons national business. The
same thing is true as to the Geor-
gia watermelon. And this is signifi-
cant. There are many other prod
ucts of South Georgia's fields, farms,
pens and pastures, coming to high
commercial dignity; canteloupes and
eucumbers, cabbages and pecans and
corn and hogs and honey-bees and
tobacco; also potatoes and peanuts
and beans.

COTTON MARKET
lSVERY ERRATIC
Speculation Heavy AS Reports
OF Bad Crop Conditions
Continue


The cotton market was unusually
erratic Friday, as result of extern
sive speculation, much Of it buy
ing, and with continued adverse pri-
vate condition reports pouring In.
Futures reached new high ground for
the present movement, July reaching
as high as 22.25 and all months pass
in The 22 cent mark. After reach
ing the high point the market eased
off a bit, but closed strorg with July
and October still above 22 cents.
With change in the basis, spots
were quoted at Il IL cents in Amer
icus today, strict middling. Sales
were few, but about 500 bales have
been turned loose this week.
A check of the warehouses today
revealed that slightly less than 1000
bales are now held in stock here, the
lowest amount seen at this season,
it is said. The stocks on hand are
fairly well divided among the ware
houses.
Reports continue that conditions
are very bad throughout the cotton
belt. In Sumter county, where show
ers continue almost daily in some, sec
tions at least, weevil infestation is
very bad and growers fear that un-
less some very hot and dry weather
can be had very soon the outlook for
crop viii be slim. The larger cot
ton is now putting on squares, but
in several splendid fields inspected
not one unpunetured square was
found. Other cotton is sickly, some
killed entirely by lice, and much is
bad stand. A turn to hot dry
weather, it is recognized, would prob
ably work wonders in favor of the
farmers, however.
That conditions are even worse
elsewhere is indicated by the follow
ing telegram received today by L. G.

Rae, field man for Newman Bros.

CLEVELAND, June 8. = Revo-
lutionizing the coal industry through
the establishment Of coal compa-
ny with a soul"
This is the aim of leaders of the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, which has just entered the coal
mining business by a S2,000,e0O in
vestment in West Virginia and Ken
tucky coal mines.
And they make this venture, with
out fear of financial loss, at a time
when the coal mines Of the country
are tied up b va nationwide strike
They feel that they have solved the
problem of labor disputes and will
have no trouble at their mines now
or in the future.
Three main points in the brother
hoods program are:
Elimination Of ''watered7 stock,
promoters fees, and preferred stock
in the formation of the company.
Ideal living and working conditions
for the miners and consequent re-
moval of strike danger and general
discomfort.
Elimination Of middlemen's profits
in distribution. This is to be done
by enabling consumers to organize
their own cooperative local yards
and to sell to themselves at cost.
Thousands Own Stock
The Coal River Collieries, as the
new company is called, is owned by
several thousand locomotive engi-
ncers throughout the country, who
subscribed in small amount for the
$2,00O,Oo0 stock.
The main problem in coal mining
is men. Coal mining is dirty, hard
and dangerous work. Yet coal min.
ers for centuries have been among
the poorest paid of manual laborers
In addition to inadequate wages, they
also suffer from irregular employ,
ment. These are the main reasons
why miners strike and why the in,
dustries Of the nation periodically
face a fuel famine"
This statement by Warren S
Stone, grand chief Of the brother.
hood and chairman of the collieries
board of directors, is a basis fol
changes made in the system of run.
ming Coal River CoIheries. Right al
the outset, before the company is
even paying dividends, miners there
are receiving a dollar a day more
than the highest wage scale asked
by the union in neighboring mines.
Modernized Mine.
Labor has been lightened bv the
installation of modern mining ma.
chinery wherever possible.
The brotherhood has substituted
for the average dilapidated and drat
mining town, model villages with
handsome little homes, schools,
churches, stores, amusement build,
ings, thorough sanitation and all the
facilities of a small city. No cattle
are allowed to roam the streets.
Garbage is regularly collected with
out charge. Even the porches have
been screened at company expense.
Why 1t Was Done.
This, say the engineers, is good
business as well as good policy. Mod
el living conditions, ample wages. and
machinery to tighten the labor will
attract the highest type of miners,
who in turn will produce more coal
than would men who are sullen and
unaernourished.
The brotherhood has shown a
good record as a business organiza-
ton il entering new fields. They

BOB ROCKWELL BRINGS
SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM

Aontrose Press:-
Senator Robert Rockwell Of Paonia
brought ringing message to the an
nual meeting Of the eattlemen last
week
He told how in 1919 it cost him S5o
head 70 winter COWS, which he EolS!
the next fall for Ss5 and which now
bring S35; that il seemed he would
have been money ahead TO have given
them away.
He said il cost so much more now &C
run stock than Il used TO years agU.
when cattle sold for 8. to I = cents.
stock ran out all but six or eight weeks
in the year and little feeding was done
Nov the ranges are 20 crowded that
more feeding mas to be done. Poison
losses are also higher, averaging s
per cent as with the crowded rangers,
stock eat plants they never used TO
touch
He said (; is necessary today 10 have
4 big ranch and lot of equipment N
order to run stock. He has tired i
both ways, running stock with and
without ranch but finds that home
ranch is absolutely necessary. Hence
50 per cent Of stockman's capital Is
tied up in a ranch and equipment
y men the STOCK ul41L pa. AoIs
He believes the present crisis the
greatest the stOckmen have ever eN-
pericnccd but he was optimistic. be
levin il good time to get into the
stock business and bad time to get
out. In fact, he had just bought an
other big stock ranch in Montrose
county at Maher, and intends to get
into the business on a larger scale
than ever.
He spoke of taxation and how they
found in Delta county that 55 per
cent Of the county tax was for schools
and imperative needs. He told how
the state tax had not increased any
this year save by that that the people
voted themselves. He said that the
greater part of the taxes went for
schools and roads, both absolutely
needed, but that we must get down tC
earth and see that We get an actual
dollars worth for our money.
We must economize and also get
better cattle. He prophesied that I'm
five years we will come back with
our heads in the air instead of trying
to dodge our creditors as we do now
81 have great faith in the cattle in
dustry."

VIOLENT PROTEST MADE
BY VEGETABLE GROWER!

Olathe Criterion.-
An interesting meeting of the farm
ers of the uncompahgre valley was re-
Gently held in Montrose to protest
against the operation of the potato
inspection law. II was an all-day ses-
sion and quite warm at times. The
Delta farmers are especially indignant
at the law and the way it was admin
istered and have pledged themselves
to work for its repeal. They claim
they have repeatedly violated the law
to induce the inspectors TO bring legal
action against them and give a chance
to get the law in court. The Olathe
farmers are strongly opposed to the
regulations, claiming that it is unfair
and causes them TO lose money on
their potatoes. All the farmers are
in favor of an inspection, they say.
but the present one is unfair. Here Is
another subject the governor might be
asked to include in his call for a spec
ial session. 1t might prove cheaper to
repeal or amend the law than to con-
est its constitutionality in the courts.
