Where the Trouble Lies

A few weeks ago there went
through Macon, Fl Valley and
Americus car loads of FRESH
PEACHES, en- route from the
peach groves of California to
Cuba.
These refrigerator cars or
peaches had crossed the Ameri-
can continent, travelling thous-
ands of miles, while almost at
the door of Cuba there were
millions of peaches being dump
ed into the creeks or fed to hogs
There's no peach in this land
that will compare with Georgia's
product, either in color, flavor
or uniformity, and yet Califor-
MIA is selling peaches to Cuba.
Why was it possible for Cali
fornia to sell in Cuba while a
superior product rotted right at
Cubas doors9 Find the answer
to that question and you will
have solved-to a large extent
the peach calamity.
We may produce the finest
product in all the world, and we
may produce it as economically
as any other community, but if
we are incapable of marketing
that product efficiently, the
whole thing is a failure.
Cooperative marketing is es-
sential and no time should be
lost in perfecting such an or
ganization if our 1925 crop is to
be saved. ,s-.,-.s .

The theory of evolution, by ally

NEGRO FREE STATE.

M. w. Gregory, president of

a "colored free state" here in the
United States. Other scientists
forsee q rapid increase in the

is increasing more rapidly than

Cutting down white immigra-

ditions among colored people,
will greatly increase their num-

LEGISLATURE HATES
WORKING ON SATURDAY

The General Assembly of
Georgia simply did not put in
a full days work on Saturday.
The body is like the plowhands'
union in that respect. 1t wants
its holiday, if not all day Sat
urday, at least Saturday after
noon. Ten days ago the House
agreed to work all day Satur-
day of last week. 1t took a vote
to that end. But maybe at that
time the members didn't know the
Atlanta home team would be on
the home grounds. At any rate,
everybody began to get uneasy
along about noon on Saturday
and disinterested and Miss Kemp
ton of Fulton county, who gives
out the baseball tickets became
the most popular member of eth
er branch Of the General AS
sembly. And shortly after the
ball game tickets were distribut-
ed a great yearning to adjourn
began to manifest itself, and in
a short time the house quit I'M
I'll Monday. The Senate had long
since done the same thing.
Up to Saturday night 397
bills had been passed by the
Legislature this year. OF these
less than a dozen were of gen
eral State application. The
others are local bills.
Surely. the business of the
State can be taken care of in
so days once each two-year pc
Rod, but two years is a long
time to wait to see Atlanta play
ball-and that's where the shoe
has pinched.
Is it any wonder that the PEG.
pie of the State have lost con
hdenoe in their Legislative
body? We hardly think so.

Although the project is of a ma

quarters here too, directors of the
organization will be able to keep in

"The irresponsible testimony of

today" Mr. Mellon said lis too alb
surd to deserve notice. Some months

asked to appear. If the committee
gives any credence to Means story it
Will undoubtedly call on me for the

Two Sessions Held.
Two sessions of the Senate Daugh-

he claims-prohibition enforcement

Jess Smith, the dead companion of
