British Prejudice
And Maine Potatoes

That British prejudice has some
what to do with the attitude Of
English buyers toward American
products Is the opinion expressed by
A. r. Carr Of Winthrop. He says he
got this view OF II from the expert
ence Of his father and Is reminded OF
it by the English embargo on Names
potntoes.
"My father. Albert c. Carr" he
said. was called the apple king OF
Mrine' He dealt in large quantities
OF apples and those he shipped to
England he sent through the firm OF

& Son. Liverpool.
He found that Taylor & Son were
paying Clogg a shilling more a bar
rel for Clogg's Canadian Apples than
for those from Maine and which were
marked from Maine. Mr.. Carr saw
to the packing Of both the Canadian
and Maine apples and knew the lat

EDWARDS MILL
! FIRE DAMAGE
WILL Be $4,000

An inspection OF the picker de-
pantment and adjoining departments
at the Edward Manufacturing Com
pany's plant in this city on Tues
day morning disclosed that the dam
age caused by the early morning
blaze there would probably be about
$1,000. This was principally in the
picker room. where II to 10 bales of
raw cotton were burned and wet
down and where the aprons on sew
eral picker machines were damaged
by the flames. Some of the cotton
can be salvaged and spare aprons
were at once put on the machines so
that the department was again in
operation on Tuesday evening.
The amount of water which was
used in ,quenching the flames may be
imagined when 1t is known that 16
sprinkler heads on the automatic
sprinkler system were melted by the
flames, and in addition lines of hose
were laid to soak down the room.
The other departments of the mill
were in operation as usual on Tues
day.

earlier than last year the Augusta Ice
Co. began the actual work of filling its
ice houses in this city. With fine
weather such as has prevailed for the

the large cakes of ice began to move
into the larger OF the three houses of
this company on Tuesday. This house
will hold about 500 tons of ice. The
ice when the field was opened was
about 10 inches thick but it will thick
en- rapidly and will probably lie be-
tween Is and 90 inches in thickness
before the harvest is completed.
