GEORGIA PEACHES


j. f. Jackson general agrieul-
tural agent of the Central of
Georgia railway, is quoted as say
ing his road will probably handle
10000 carloads of Georgia
peaches this year.
The Central, of course, pene-
trates the heart of what is known
as the peach belt in Georgia, but
there will be several hundred car
loads of peaches not handled by
this road, as, for instance, the
peaches raised in northeast Geor-
gia around Cornelia and Toccoa
which are on the Southern rail-
road.
The latter peaches come along
after the Central movements, and
do not, as a rule, enter into mar
ket competition. Mr.. jackson is
entirely correct, however, in coun-
selling against heavy increases in
peach acreage this season. The
law of supply and demand must
always be consulted, and while
the Georgia peaeh, is a standard
lied fruit, there is always the pos
sibility Of creating a supply more
than equal to the demand, due to
the short season and the neces-
sary rush to markets.-Atlanta

What Poisoning Did for
One Sumter Farmer

An Americus farmer who
really made cotton crop last
year says his success was due to
a. liberal use of calcium arse
nate. He said to us this week:
My neighbors laughed at me
last year. They said was poi
SON crazy. | poisoned and
kept on, poisoning. | begged
them to follow my plan. They
looked wise, but refused. Now,
when picking time came, | had
the cotton and laug h d
They failed and grumbled, You
can tell the farmers that poison
does pay-that | made it pay
me. and. that in the wettest year
/ ever saw, / mean to poison
this year and you'll see that |
will succeed"
DR. Andrew M. Soule said
had Georgia poisoned one more
time last year. the State would
have produced 100000 more
bales of'cotton than we actually
gathered, and DR.. Soule knows.
Mr.. R, ]. H. DeLoach, a
weevil expert and the man who
is said to have more 'hrst-hand
information than any other in the
State. declares that poison pays
the, farmer, that every possible
means Of securing an adequate
supply should be provided; that
without poison, failure is almost
certain. uqar ~ ac,ra

perts before the eyes of the
Sumter county farmer, with the
assurance that in the most un-
favorable crop season. cotton
can be produced, with, the aid, of
poison. Profitably, it would
seem foolish to neglect to- use
a reasonable amount of calcium

What Are Woman s
Most Desirable
Characteristics?

What qualities OF womanhood
are most attractive to men2 A
reader, asking this question,
says in his letter to the editor:
Il gather, from movies and fic-
ton and news stories, that the
most admirable traits of qualities
in a man are bravery, brains,
honor and loyalty. Please write
about the most desirable char
acteristics of woman. What
must she possess to be an ideal
sweetheart and wifep
Every woman gives a lot of
thought to this problem. The
great philosophers have ponder
ed it.
Pooling authorities: T he
most attractive and desirable
qualities in a woman are mod
esty, love, beauty, loyalty, poise.
reserve, companionship, per-
sonal magnetism-and mystery.
Men, counting women for
their future wives and mothers
of their children, instinctively
seek, first of all, love, modesty,
companionship and loyalty.
Beauty is the biological lure.
But isn't its influence usually
over-ratedp Consider the multi
tude of men who are quite con.
tented to pass up the beauties
and marry women only mod
erately attractive.
OF course, for. the homeliest
woman in the world, there's
some man who'll consider her
the. most attractive. Yes, love
is Blind.
Handsome men frequently
marry homely women. Brilliant
men often marry women with
very little brains. Practical wor
men marry impractical men.
Beauties mate with common
place males. Tall women with
short husbands. Tall husbands
with short wives. Good mar
ries bad, Small wonder. love
BATTLES the philosophers.
In the last analysis, all this
contradictory state of affairs is
merely nature evening things up
restoring the balance between
the sexes-preventing the race
from veering too far from the
normal or average of appear
ances, mentality. emotion and
character.

very long way from oil.1a,
Regarding Colonel Harvey,
the Savannah Press makes this
interesting observation:
Col. Harvey has another think
coming. He did pick a winner in
1912, it is true. 1t is said, how
ever, that he entered the Chicago
convention in 1920 as an advo-
cate of Gen. Leonard Wood. It
was in the ColoRePs room at the
blackstone that the nomination
OF Senator Harding was finally
agreed upon. Colonel Harvey
has shown an ability at the last
moment to stand from under and
to jump on the band wagon. So
he may Exercise his independ-
enee" by picking a good Demo
cHat. Why not? Colonel Har-
vey is a young man yet and
very active one. Now if Colonel
Harvey wants to keep out Of
more trouble, he will shy off
from the Coolidge band wagon
while the shying is good. ghEit
We trust that Col. George
Harvey will ponder over these
things. He is a close. observer.

Thomas County S
Kicking, Too

The Townsville Tines-En-
terprise, which supported the
candidacy of Mr.. McAdoo, reg
listers its objections to the meth
DDS followed by the three Me
Adoo state managers inilhand-
picking the county delegates,
saying:
In Thomas county four dc G.
gates, all residents of Thomas
vile, were selected, while the
population of Thomasville is
hardly one-third of that of the
county, and never before have
all the delegates to the State
convention been confined to the
limits of Thomasville, g
Besides the four delegates,
nine alternates of Thomas coun-
ty were appointed, eight being
from. Thomasville. and one, from
Coolidge. Two Of the alternates
were men connected with the
Times-Enterprise; although of
course no fayors were asked in
behalf of this paper.
Two of the delegates and sew
eral Of the alternates from
Thomas county were described as
being from Coral" Hill. There
IS no such place in Thomas coun-
ty. There is, however, a subdi-
vision Of the city of Thomas
vile known as Carroll Hill, which
is. served, of course, by thersame
postoffice and same city govern
nlent in every way as is the rest
of the city.
We have two objections, as
are suggested above, to the lselec-
tons from Thomas county First,
there is neither reason nor pre-
cedent for combining all Of the
Representatives from Thomas
county to the county site : the
people in the city of Townsville
wish no monopoly in running the
county, and dislike to be put in
a position of exercising more au-
thority than should be their pro-
rata share. We object farther
to what is either a joke, a fraud,
or a very peculiar error in pub
fishing the list of delegates of
phofnas county in such way
that 1T appears on the surface
that the delegates are from diff
ferenb places in the county.
when as a matter of fact every
delegate, and every alternate ex-
cept one is from the city Of
Townsville.
The evidence submitted b,
the Townsville paper is jus
another proof of the poor judg
ment used by the McAdoo man
ayers in their hand-pickec
conxnetion.
Not satisfied with having de
iberately usuFped a right which
was never intended to be its
