Reid oi the Thomatville Opera

reply to a bitter attack on Thomas-

attempt at blackmail. The men
who built the opera bouse, and who
own and run it, are not
the kind of material to submit
to black-mailing. The New»
stated that no troupe had erer taken

Mr. Reid presents as an offset to this
falsehood, the receipts or the carious
entertainments which hare been giv

CALLED TO OBDEB.
The convention was called to order
by President G. R. McRae, of Quit-
man, at 12:15 o’clock, at the court
house, In the absence of Secretary
A. P. Pcrham, J. S. Davis of Dough
erty county, was elected secretary pro
tcm. The chair stated that this
vention was for tbe purpose of bearing
be reports cf the various committees
fP’intcd at the Thomasville conven
ion, h n ld last August.
The rate committee was first called
ipon for their report, and the chair-
nan, G. R. Mcltae, stated that a redue-
icn of 20 per cent, on last y
had breo premried, as shown
way circular No. 122, by the'Railroad
d Steamship Association, south
the Ohio River, but that no reduction
promised north of that point. The
reduction, however, by southern lines
would mako a difference of from $12
to $15 per car on shipments north of
the Obis.
TIIE COMMISSION MEN.
committee appointed at the
Thomsfivilie convention to look after
the commi- sion men was next called
upon, but, in tbe abjmee of the chair-
report was received from this
committer.
J. R. Forrester, of Lee county, ask
ed the convention for information as to
prepaying freight on shipments made
by melon growers, and the chair and
body seemed to think and understand
that such was not expected by the
railroads,
L. Rand, of Mitchell, county,
made an address in which he argued
that as things now stood the roads
north of the Ohio river received more
profit on melon shipments than othe
roads, and that it would bo nothing but
just for them to reduce their rates
He called on R. W. Glaing, repre
senting tho Louisville, New Albany
and Chicago road for an explanation as
to what were tho intentions of his
,oad on the matter.
COULD GIVE NO INFORMATION.
Mr, Gladiug— : AH that I can say is
that my company has expressed it
self as beiDg very anxious to do every
thing pcsssible for the benefit of the
fruit acd vegetable growers, but T can
give no assurance as to exactly what
the compaty will or intend to do.
Mr. Hand then resumed, saying that
the Southern roads were treating tho
public very b|dly, that they bad
promised to furnish ample ventilated
rs for this business, but were now in
different about it; that the western
roads furnised suitable acd ample cars
fer their business, while the fouthern
roid3 do not. H- said tic ration
nces Would prove 1 failure unless
adequate cars could be secured, and
that it was confiscating their crops to
hip melons in box cars.
MET THE CONVENTION’S VIEWS.
This * do ress seemed lo uprose the
sentiment of the convention, and was
replied to by J. R. Forrester, who
said: “I was to: prepared to bear
such a ri port, and exceedingly regret
that such is tbe case. Tbo melon
growers were promised more by the
Central and Savannah, Forida and
Western roads, and if they don't stick
to their promises they don’t intend to
aid the furtherance of the melon busi
ness, but to nip it in tbe bud/’
J. W. Haygood, of Macon county,
iu a short address upon this point
seemed to thick that the railroads
would do as they promised.
Mr. Forrester moved that a 00m-
mittco of three be appointed to draw
up resolutions toutchiug ventilated
cars, which prevailed, and the chair ap
pointed J. L. Hand, chairman; J. W.
Haygood and A. P. Vason.
THE BISOLUTIONS.
This committee then retired tnd
drew up resolutions, which were read
by A. P. Vason, secretary of the 00m
mittcc, as follows;
Whereas, Our information is that
the Central and Savannah, Florida
and Western roads of this state have
failed to provide ventilated cars for the
melon business in aooordancp with the
assurances given our transportation
committee, bj building some of their
own, at the reoent conference; and
Whereas, We tip giv$o to upder :
stand that these roads will depend up

i» said ibai 1 bn* delegation lo this
meeting was nit so large as that at !hc
last. It is tl- U'riit that there was net
much interest raken as there should
have been, aDd it was earnestly urged
that a larger * ttecdancc be had at the
next meeting, and that tho committees
be prompt in their report.
Commission men were present in the
interest of their various houses.
The minutes of this meeting wcr§
ordered fi:«d and read at the Mayfcs-
it is the duty of every railroad company
chartered by the people to furnish suf
ficient transportation for the business
offered along their liees; we deem
it icexcusible indifference to our inter
est od tbe part of the railroad compa
nies cot to make provisions by provid
ing cars of their own to-care for this
business, which is peculiarly their own.
Knowing so well from past experience
the supply of ventilated cars to be ob
tained from wesiyo reads to be inad
equate to move a melon crop such a3
last year’s, we strongly recommend
that the acreage be reduced at least 25
per cent., as ffcia will represent approx
imately the deficiency in ventilated
cars. It is a deplorable fact that while
the western reads furnish' cars for
western shipments south they have also
to provide cars for southern shipments
west.
Beit funh r resolved, That cur
transportation commi-'ee be instructed
to confer with the authorities cf the
Central and Sivinc-h, Florida and
West .to >.ysuu’* 10 ascertain if there
is no remedy f.-r this menace to the
‘ucccss of ibo tu'ion industry, even at
ll.is day, and to make known the
result of their c inference promptly by
publication in the newspapers in the
melon belt.

Commenting on these figures, the

that without this emigrarim Louisiana

36,620; whereas it r£iliy has a negro
majority of 28,701.
Our contemporary says that nearly
one-third of the native colonists of the

southern abd central Indiana. Missou
ri overflowed into Kansas and Oregon,
and the Kentuckians sonzht homes in
Southern Illinois.
But the situation is now far differ
ent from what it wa3 a generation ago.
Southerners no longer think of moving
west, because all the lest lands in that
region have been taken up, and popu
lation north of the Ohio is sixty-
five to the tqhare mile, while in the
south it is only thirty-two to the
square mile.
Under these circumstances it is nat
ural that the coming movement of pop
ulation should be southward instead of
westward. In fact, a movement in
any ether direction, as matters now
stand, would be dearly unprofitable,
and men in search of new home* are
not going where there are already too
many people, and where land is held at
high price. For generations to come
the south will be the only region in
this country that will tempt the immi

—We mean the Campanini operatic
Concert Company. They recently
played a highly successful engagement
in Charleston, S. C. The News and
Courier, in speaking of the Co, says:
“The Campanini Operatic Concert
company gave the second of their
admirable concerts last evening at
the Academy of Music. There was
a large audience present
“The concert program was fuller
and more varied than on the previ
ous evening, and there was a much
larger proportion of household music
on it lhaoon the program of Wednes
day night With the exception, per
haps, of the duet. ‘Ldarem la ma-
no,’ and the baritone solo from ‘Simon
Boccanegra,’ the music ol the eleven
numbers has been heard time and a-
gain here, either in concert or In op
era. - .
“The second part ofthe concert was
the last act, or rather the scene at
the tomb in ‘Romeo and Juliet’
he music is very largely made up
of recitative, and is not particularly
melodious at that. Campanini, how
ever made the most ol the ‘O mai
Alma’ and the* Si bella ancor’ as em
phasizing the dramatic situation.
There was, however, a rplendid out
burst in his best method and style in
the *Ah, si ben mai.’ The duet,
‘Salve qasto puro ovel,’ is perhaps
the gem ol the act, and was sung by
Campanini and fignorina De Vere
with exquisite pathos and tenderness.”

J. W. Menard, an intelligent negro
of Jacksonville, Florida, has written a

proposes a soluti.n ofthe ‘negro

most certain to disci* se seme very
interesting facts. The idea is to ap
propriate enough money from the
federal treasury lo judiciously distri
bute 1,000,000 Southern negroes in
the states of Indiana, Illinois, Kansas
Nebraska, Dakota and others. The
le of those states, or a*, least seme
of them, are very much in the habit cf

Certain they would r*je3t wi-h a feding
akin to indignation an opportutity to
display at home thtir affection for their
dusky bretberr, They demand that
the negro shall be treated with the ut-
t kindn* si ard consideration, but
insist that the kindness and considera
tion shall be furnished by others than
themselves.
Therefore, in cur opinion, the r< pre-
Bentatives of those states io oonzress
would vote solidly against the turning
their direction, of a millioc peaceful^
industrious immigrants, who never
heard of socialism or anarchy and have
a great rcspict for property above the

Tlio Watermelon Crop.
The south Georgia melon growers
have a great many things to contend
their efforts to make melon
growing profitable, and some of them
re not wholly blameless for their
ant of success. Too many of them
send unripe and inferior melons to
arket, and the result is that they
not only sufler losses, but they dam
age the market for first-class melons.
ould be a much wiser policy for
the growers to ship only matured
melons of fair size. It would be to
their interest to reduce the quantity
and improve ‘.he quality.
The complaint that the railroads
do not treat the growers fairly doubt,
less has some foundation. The rail
roads ought certainly to provide as
many ventilated cars as are needed,
and they ought to carry the melons
to market with as little delay as pos
it has beenshown that themel-
ons do not stand long transportation
closed cars. The railroads, how-
er, are just beginning to appreciate
the extent to which the South Geor
gia melon-growing business can be
developed, and they will make greater
efforts in fcture to meet its demands.
The question of freight rates is one
that will always be unsettled. The
growers will constantly demand reduc
tions and the railroads will insist upon
as h:gh rates as the melons will bear.
It is noticeable, however, that within
the last year or two several of the
roads to which the melon growing
section is tributary, have reduced
their rates considerably, and that the
growers are now better satisfied
with them.
It is, of course, to the interest ot
the railroads to encourage melon-
growing, and doubtless they are will-
g to so regulate their rates as to
permit the growers to make a good
profit on their melon crops. Fre
quent and frank conferences between
the growers and railroad managers
would result beneficially to both par-
MoKtb Gcorcrln and Florid*
Synod.
Synod met at 9am. After devo
tional exercises synod was declared
open for the transaction of borinen.
The following delegates arrived rinee
yesterday’s session:
Elder Curry of Bainbridge, Elder
Pnleston of Montioello, Elder Mathew-
son of Gainesville, Elder Stacy of
Brunswick, Rev. J. P. Word of Quit-
man, and Rev. J. A. Simmons
Committee on Narratives and Statis
tics reported.
The place of next meeting will be
Pensaoola, and the time the second
Wednesday in Deoember next.
There was muoh anxiety on the part
of some of the members to have the
matter of appeal from Savannah First
Church come up before synod, but no
action could be taken until the Judi
cial Committee should report. This
committee brought in its report just
before tbe heur arrived for hearing Dr.
Shearer of Davidson oollege. It decid
ed that the appeal, so called, is not
ippeal, but a complaint, and that
grounds for complaint against action of
presbytery exist. But it recommendes
that synod hear the commissioners from
Smnnah First Church.
Then Dr. Shearer addressed
synod for ar. hour and a-half oo
subject of denominational schools, and
the teaching of the English bible along
with tbe other branches usually taught.
Qaito a number of ladies were present,
and many of them left the house be
fore tho doctor concluded his address
but this was due to household duties
calling them away, and uot to the fact
that the distinguished speaker failed to
interest his hearers.
The growers have great difficulty
getting their melons handled by
competent and honest commission
merchants. An honest commission
merchant is not always a shrewd and
ucccssfu! business man, and, hence,
fails to dispose of the melons to the
best advantage, but he is far prefer
able to the dishonest one who, how-
successful as he may be in dis
posing of the melons entrusted to
seldom returns to the shipper
the full amount that is due him. A
problem which the growers have not
yet solved is how to get their melons
disposed of to the best advantage and
to get honest returns.
It will be a lone time before the
melon-growing industry is placed upon
a wholly satisfactory basis. The
difficulties which have to be con
tended with, however, by those en
gaged in it arc slowly disappearing.
In time, no doubt, it will be so con
ducted that the profit from the melon
crop will be as certain as that from
any other.—News*
The question of some interest io’tho
ynod yesterday evening was the con
sideration of the question of the Sa
vannah appeal. The judicial commit
tee having reported that tho question
having come up iu the shape of an
appeal, they could not consider it an
appeal, but would recommend that the
■ynod take up the matter in ao advisor;
way. Discussion brought out the idea
that if it was not considered as an appeal
it was not right to consider it at all,
and on this line, a compromise was
made, and the matter was taken up as
an appeal. Capt. Kingsbcry made
a strong defense of the appeal, and was
followed by Mr. Lindsay.
Last night the Rev. Dr. Craig de
livered an elegant address on the sub
ject of homo missious.
Synod met at 9 o’clock this morn-
g. The overture from St. Johns
Presbytery to create a new one, to be
known as Tampa Presbytery, was laid
over till next meeting of Synod.
The appeal of Savannah church
was again taken up. Alter consider
able discussion as to who are the par
the case, whether the matter is,
Savannah first church vs. Savannah
Presbytery, or Savannah first church
vs. Rev. J. W. Rogan.
Mr. J. E. Way then opened the
argument. His discussion was not
in favor or against the action of pres
bytery, but simply to present the facts
in regard to the matter. He desired
not to influence the decision of synod,
but to throw lig’it on the matter. It
was evident, however, that he was
not speaking in Mr. Rogan’s favor.
Rev. Mr. Rogan then spoke, re-1
viewing the matter in which he is
concerned. He also presented the
claims ofthe New Jersey church, to
which he has been called.
Elder Davis, of Savannah church,
then made an earnest appeal to
synod to reverse the action of Presby
tery, after which the moderator gave
the members an opportunity to
express their opinion in regard to
whether the appeal should be sus
tained or not.
A vote was then taken, which is
as follows: To sustain the appeal
from presbytery’s action in dissolving
the pastoral relations of Rev. Mr.
Rogan, 19. Not to sustain, 9. To
remit the case to presbytery for a
re-hcaring, 13.
But this did not decide the matter,
and synod deferred it until the after
noon session.

Tho Times has had from first to last
great deal to bay about planting
trees on our residence street*,
properly remarks that nothiog else
will do so much to beautify the ciiy,
especially if the oost bo considered.
Many persons, who would like for
trees to be planted on the streets oppo
site their premises, arc deterred from
eo by vnrioui reasons, chiefly
inertia, ignorancj and thoughtlcssncis.
If tbo city oouncil would employ
compcncnt persons te set and
properly protect live and water
oaks and charge to property holder
adjoining, the actual cost of the
trvice. I am of the opinion tint
the question ot trej p'anting will be
solved. I will start the movement
ith an order for one hundred trees.
