That Outrageous Contract.

dollars mun lor Hie refrigerator service

The News tails to see any reason why
a railroad corporation w iiosc lines traverse
tiio fruit section of the state almost ex
clusively should wilfully, ami as it were
with mallee aforethought, shut off all
competition lut.wein the unit express com
pany. We a.e unable to liml an argument
that can excuse uch action ami we believe
that Hie growers are right in the light that
they are making against Hie proposed
"gOll'gl
llie fact of the matter as we understand
them are these: Some time ago the Ar
mour litefrigei at ing I'ouipany, a powerful
eorporation controlling a large number of
cars, ami a corporation that lias in past
years carried Hie fruit in competition with
Ho other express companies doing this
business in Hie United States, was granted
the exclusive right for their ears over the
Central Railroad for this season. What
the consideiation given for this privilege
was no one is likely to know outside of Hie
principals to Hie Hade. But the trade was
made ami the existence of a contract has
In . n denied. As soon as the contract was
imide Hie \rniour people issued a tariff
sheet on which the rates showed that the
cost of tile ears to the growers would be
from ten to fil'tei n dollars a car more than
it was last season. It is estimated that
there will be between twenty and twenty
live humlrid ears of peaches shipped this
year. The increased income then to the
rest igerating company is something like
twenty or twenty live thousand dollars.
It is more than probable that in consid
eration for Hie privilege of charging more
to Hie grower the refrigerating company
agreed to pay more per mile to the railroad
ami in this w ly the road receives more
than it is allowed to charge for the ser
vice.
When the growers met in iMacon an ef
fort was made on the part of the refriger
ating company to secure the endorsement
of their ears by the growers but its com
petitors were on the ground ami when the
direct question-as to the existence of the
contract ami the increase of prices wa?
put to Hie representative of the refriger
ating company he did not deny that the
eontraet had been made or that the price
had been raised.
Other refrigerating companies controll
ing ears and having ample facilities for
the proper handling of the fruit have of
fered to give the growers the same ser
vice for less money than is charged Iby the
Armour people, but the latter “stand pat,’*
holding the railroad to its contract and
the effort will be made to co-erce the
growers into using the Armour service
ami paiing the increased price rather than
lose time ami necessarily money by anv
delay.
We do not believe that the courts of this
state will permit the steal. We do not
believe that the railroad commission can
afford to ignore what is their plain duty
in the matter and we believe that the
grower’s committee which has taken the
matter up will win the tight.
To the individual grower perhaps trie
increase in the rate will not amount to
very much, but the principal of the thing
is the same. The railroad in making such
a contract has shut out competition ami is
indirectly charging the grower a higher
price for its service during the fruit sea
son. It offers no excuse for this.
It has given no good reason at all and
the only statement that has been made is
to puldish in the railroad organ of this city
an anonymous interview with an imag
inary fruit grower who says that he is
perfectly satisfied to pay a higher price
tor ?ra his fruit to the market
than he has ever done before. If such a
grower does exist he is a fit subject for
the lunatic asylum or he has good reason
to be satisfied. We do not believe that a
responsible fruit grower in the state of
Georgia will say that he is willing to pay
more for a service than that service is
worth and the service is worth just what
the cofhpetition between the regrigerating
companies and the railroad companies
make it worth.
In making this contract with the Ar
mour people and in stifling competition,
the Central, controlled by the Southern
railroad, has over-reached itself. How can
it say in the future as it has said in the
past that it is working to build up the
agricultural interests of the state. There
is nothing more important to the farmer
or the orehardist than railroad rates and
if the grower is to be subjected to an ar
bitrary rate ami the railroads allow com
petition to lie shut off so as to cost the
growers something like twenty-five thous
and dollars on one crop mere than they
would pay did the competition exist, what
inducement is there to farmers or or
chardists to invest their money in the fruit
or farming lands of the state?
We do not believe anyone will take sides
with the railroads in this matter. Every
one is interested. The merchants of Ma
con more than anyone else for Macon as
the centre of the fruit market of the state
cannot afford to see twenty-five thousand
<lol ars handed out as a gin to rhe Armour
Refrigerating Company or whatever its
name may be.
The committee representing the fruit
growers of this state should have the full
support of the press and the people. The
courts will act promptly we believe, but
above all things we hope that the Central
Railroad will see the error it has made
and will cancel that contract at any cost.
The Lesson We Have Learned,
This country is now learning a lesson by
which it wi)] profit greatly in the future'
While we have not yet had and probably
will not have, a naval engagement to test
in any degree the full strength of our
navy, we have seen enough to know that
the navy of the United States is a credit
to the nation. We have good ships, brave,
wise and competent commander® splendid
officers and well disciplined, well trained
men. Our guns and gunners have done
magnificent work, and altogether we have
won the respect and applause of the war
like nations of the world, so far as the
part taken by our navy is concerned.
V> hat we have done has been done quii.Kly
and well. There has been no scramble to
clear the decks for action. Our squadrons
were ready at short notice and in the case
of Admiral Dewey, we were ready tor war
without any preparation at ali. The navy
has reflected credit on the nation. The
world will have a greater respect for the
United States on the sea in the future.
The work of the army is before it. But
we were not ready and in this respect we
have learned the valuable lesson that will
never be forgotten. In future this country
will demand a larger standing army. It
will not do for this country to be dependent
at all tunes on its citizen soldiery. Not
that they are not the finest body of men
that any country has ever in the history of
the world drawn together for fighting pur
poses on short notice, but because we can
not afford to disorganize the whole busi
ness community of every section of the
country whenever it becomes necessary to
resort to arms to maintain a position taken
by this government.
The army is a profession peculair to
itself Let us then in future provide for a
sufficient number of that profession so that
when we have to light they may be ready
to do their part without the necessity of
having to draft officers and men from civil
life and upsetting the whole system of so
cial and commercial life.
That this country was not ready for war
so far as its army was concerned is a pal
pable fact. That it lias placed itself in a
defensive condition with an army of a hun
dred and fifty thousand men in an incredi
bly short space of time is a fact that will
go down into history and will be marked
by other nations as redounding to the pa
triotism of the citizens of the United
States.
But the fact still remains that we cannot
afford to again upset the whole social ami
commercial life of the country in order to
rid ourselves of unpleasant neighbors or
maintain the honor of the country in so
small an undertaking as the driving of the
Spanish remnant from the western hemis
phere.
In future this country will have a stand
ing army and the people of the country will
be ready to pay for it. It is a necessity,
not a luxury. The'other great nations of
the world recognize the necessity, and they
have large standing armies, not because
there is any less degree of patrotism, but
because the country can better afford the
millions for its support than to place so
great a hardship upon the community at
large.
Our citizen soldiery will always be ready
to repel an invasion that may threaten the
shores of this country, but the homes and
offices must never again be taxed to such
an extent and the flower of our homes be
thrown into the field on foreign soil, no:
must we ever again be found withou: a
sufficiency of trained soldiers to do the
fighting for the nation on ordinary occa
sions.
Individual Responsibility.
Leaving out all questions of the condi
tion of the city in a sanitary way, so far
as the responsibility of the authorities is
concerned, a word to the householder will
not be out of place.
The responsibility of the individual in
the summer time in any city is very great
indeed. Unless the individual householders
ami property own. ,’s of a city see to it that
their premises are in the best possible san
itary condition all the vigilance of the au
thorities of that city may be wasted
On the contrary, if the individual prop
erty owner does his duty as a citizen and
every renter, every person having in rny
way control of habitation or property in
the city is particular in a supervision of
the santiary conditions of the surround
ings, there will be little danger from dis
eases so long as water and sewers are
what they should be.
It is now more important than ev'>r be
fore in the history of the country that in
the summer time every precaution be used
to prevent conditions favorable to an epi
demic.
There is great danger this year of the
presence of yellow fever in the South. The
coming of many people and ships from fe
ver infected places and necessarily lax
quarantine restrictions, will make it ex
tremely probable that yellow fever will
show itself at some point or another. It
may be said by some people that sanitation
has noting to do with the spread of yel
low fever, but such a statement should not
be credited. It is wrong. The cleaner the
city and the better its sanitary conditions
the less chance there is for an epidemic.
The responsibility is largely with the indi
vidual.
If each individual will see to it that the
beam is removed from his own eye we can
all then proceed to remove the moat from
the other fellow’s organ of vision.

Drove Oxeu After He Was Paralyzed
I have heard of many cases of fortitude,
but that of “Duke’ Joyner excels them
all. Charles •) Joyjv, during his life
time, lived near the head of Crooked Fork
vailey, in Morgan comity. He was a man
of powerful physical development—brave,
fearless and of wonderful endurance He
knight on th-3 Union side in the civil
strife, and then after the contention was
over he married and went to farming. In
some way when a boy the title of “duke”
was given to him. which ever afterward
he was known by.
" Duke” Joyner was a hard worker and
a goinl farmer One day while building
an underdrain, assisted by two small sons,
he had a stroke of paralysis and was un
able to move, but could talk. “Duke”
concluded that he would superintend the
operation of taking his half dead body
home. He hud the two boys put a log
chain around his body Then he had them
put down a couple of planks. Next tliey
hitched the chain to the ox chain mid the
oxen drew his body up in the wagon.
While lying in the wagon the “duke,” by
the use of his voice, drove the oxen to his
house He survived and lived a number
of years after.—Knoxville (Tenn.) Trib

Absolutely Pure
Names of Our Warships.
A change in the system in naming our
ships of ww would to be advisable,
so far as certain features are concerned.
The policy of naming a class of ships after
the states of the Union and another class
after important or historical cities and
towns is admirable. Still another class
bear- the names of our great naval heroes.
This also is as it should lx>, so far as the
nut;: - are ri garded, but it seems ntirely
inappropriate that those names should be
borne by the class to which they are as
signed. In the British navy the names of
the great < o.iim.oi<icr are given to the
greatest ami Im; st of the ships, and the
example should be followed by us. Those
names would thus 1 e carried into all parts
of the world and made iamiiiar to ail peo
ple.
But it se-aiis almo t ns inappropriate to
give such name- as Farragut, Porter,
Somers and the like to a lot of torpedo
boat s—craft without dignity or magnitude
—as it would lie to a.--sig: A hose names to
steam launches, tugboats or vessels of the
mosquito licet. Th. pr.ictiee of naming
the torp-Mto ’xiats alter this fashion is said
to Im; thoroughly distasteful to the officers
of the navy There is a certain appropri
ateness in giving the name of Cushing to
such a craft, for it was the during act of
blowing up the Confederate ram Albe
marle by a torpedo boat extemporized from
a launch that gave Cushing his fan e. The
name of Ericsson, too, is appropriately as
sociated with a ix?culiarly modern and de
structive engine of war, but it would be
blitter to commemorate the great Swede,
to whom we are all deeply indebted, by
giving his name to one of the best of the
monitors in honor of liis invention of the
type.—Boston Herald.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia was the subject, is
narrated by him as follows: “I was in a
most dreadful condition. My skin was al
most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides, no ap
petite—gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately a friend advised trying “Elec
tric Bitters,” and to my great joy and sur
prise the first bottle made a decided im
provement. I continued their use for three
weeks and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life and robbed the grave
of another victim.” No ons should fail to
try them. Only 50c per bottle at H. J. La

fact, repttrhee seems to roll off the speak
er's illil -trio us expanse of baldness and
disseminate itself over the house even as
April raindrops would do likewise with
a new tin roof. The other day a yea and
nay vote had been taken on some bill or
other of comparative unimportance and
the usual recapitulation had been conclud
ed when Representative Lorimer arose to
expostulate.
“It appears that I am not recorded,” he
complained. “1 should be. I voted‘no’
twice. ”
“The gentleman from Illinois will be
recorded ‘no once, ’' ordered Speaker
Reed, with accent upon “once,” and floor
and galleries joined in the laugh. This
sort of thing tickles Reed immensely. He
is very fond of perpetrating a quiet joke
now and then, but when the smiling ap
plause at his punning ripples over the as
sembly he enters into vigorous dispute
with the gavel and drawls with ostenta
tious severity, “The house will please be
in order.”—Washington Post.
