“Fun Among the Railroads.’’
The Timks-Enterpkise is in re
ceipt of a letter from Mr. .). A. Sams
general southern agent of the ‘ Fast
Freight Route,” via Nashville Tenn,
The letter was brought out by
article that appeared in those columns
the 19th inst., which will doubtless
be remembered by oor readers.
Replying to a paragraph in said
article which read as follows: “It
cannot be said that any one line has
made better preparation, or lias
worked harder to give shippers better
advantages or lower rates.” Mr.
Sams says:
“The Nashville Route, season of
1^80, lmd 1000 ventilated fruit cais,
and having built 1200 since, has
over 2000 clegaut ventilated fruit
cars, which they are trying to furnish
the melon growers to use, as they
can go to any and all points north
and west, without transfer or delay,
aud as cars will be badly needed this
season nnd as the Nashville route is
practically the only one west or north
of the state of Georgia that has fur
nished any ventilated cars for the
melon shippers of Georgia, aud as
other western lines liavo furnished
very few if any at all, and practically
have none to furnish, I think the
Nashville route in the matter of cars
will be of some assistance to shippers.
In the matter of rates, I have been
fortunate enough to secure to some
50 cities in the northwest lower rates
than shippers would have been fur
nished were it not for my efforts. In
the way of lower rates aud ears, the
Nashville Route nnd its agents have
been of more assistance this year to
melon growers than all the rest of the
Western lines put together."
It will bo seen that Mr. Sams is
not at all modest in claiming advan
tages for his route.
To those familiar with the Nns'li-
ville Route, and with the energy .Mr.
Sams has shown in working for his
line, it is unnecessary to say that
shippers in Georgia and Florida, fully
appreciates the merits of the line and
the efforts of Mr. Sams.
We are incliucd to think, however,
that Mr. Sams has drawn the picture
n hit too strong, and we arc sure some
of the other lines pointing westward
will join issue with him sharply. Rut
with this wc have nothing to do.
Ml that the Timks-Entkki'RIsk
contends for is that all lines that
come into the melon licit lie given
an equal chance at the business. If
this is not done the roads cut oil from
the business will retire from the field,
and with all Mr. Sam’s interest in the
shippers, nnd we arc not disposed to
underestimate it in the least, we doubt
if lie would work as hard for the ship
pers, if lie hail a monopoly of the
business.
The Mail Service West.
The department nas not yet put on
mail.semce for allpoints west ofTliom-
asville, on trains 5 and 6, leaving and
arriving at Thomasvdle, at 7:20 a. 111.
and 5:55 p. m. As soon, however, as
the service is put on the Alabama
Midland, it lias been ordered on July
1 st, it is supposed that route agents
will make the run to and from Bain-
bridge and, perhaps, to and from
Montgomery. In the meantime post
master Smith has been instructed to
make up a special pouch for Bain-
bridge on the morning train. This
will be a great convenience to our
business men, as it will enable them to
hear from their liainbridge correspon
dents the same day letters leave here.
Fun Arnongthc Melon Solicitors.
It need not he supposed that the
railroad solicitors are having all tho
fun to themselves, or that they are
alone in
consider
failing to secure what they
fair proportion of the Imsi-
i lie r 1 - I -;: .solicitors or more prop
erly siK-aking the representatives of
commi-sion houses, nnd in some eases
the buyer:-, that arc operating outside
the exchange, arc coming in for a
share of fun, if so it may he called.
The T:mi:*-Entei:it.ish would like
to see flic exchange a success; above
above ail ii would like to see the
melon growers make money, and as
there area number of growers that
have not seen lit to co-operate
with the exchange, either by sale or
consignment, it believes a fair field
for the independent buyers to ho one
of the methods by which the most
satisfactory results can bo attained.
These buyers came down here, aud
are willing to pay tlicir good money
for melons, and they ought to be
allowed to do so, provided they find
parties willing to sell. A proscriptive
poiiey is not the way to make melon
growing a success.
For years the growers have asked
that buyers come down and pay for
the melons on the track, and thereby
relieve them from all risks attendant
on shipping. Granting that it would
be better for all tlio growers to go in
to the syndicate, inasmuch as they
have not, it is at least fair to allow
them to sell to men that are willing to
boy, and. certainly fair to allow the
men that Lave come to purchase, to do?
So in peace.
.ust Saturday, the representative
of T. II. Kepner & Co., of Baltimore,
was negotiating for the purchase ot a
jar ot melons on the Albany division,
vlien a representative of the Ex
change threatened to. throw enough
melons on the Baltimore market to
break it duwn.dr the purchase and
shipment of tlio ear in question was
made. . 1 /
it dues not require a great of busi
ness foresight to see that it will require
very earefiiL mai^etticut to make the
exchanged sluices.*, and it is bad poli
cy to make any antagonisms, that can
he avoided. Already title impression
lias gone oat that the exchange is
disposal to he dictatorial in its nietlt-
and it is certain that some of the
transportation eoiiquinics and a great
many of the commission men arc in
clined to think they have not been
treated fairly.
Some of tiie commission men thus
dissatisfied,. are veterans tbut have
worked lmne-tly and faithfully to
Iniild it trade idr melons, very often in
the face of shipments out ot alt pro-
Meeting of Stewards.

G. G. N. McDoxF.r.r., 1’nstor.
Mr. C. II. Norris, representing the

There is 110 house in the “monumen

Mason’Maddened.
CrricAoo, June 21.—The republi
cans of the Third Illiuois district to
day renominated William E. Mason
to congress. After he had been nom
iuated. Mr. Mason was brought into
the convention hall and made aspeech
on national issues. Among other
things he said:
We are not going to wave the
bloody shirt, but when they stand in
Richmond and decorate the statue
of the father of their country with
the rebel flag, I say that the man who
docs it is as much a traitor as any
rebel was thirty years ago.
The man who played smart in thus
over doing the confederate flag racket
at Richmond, may have meant well
hut he locked common sense, on all
public nccasions there is some one
ambitious of making a fool of himself.
This man appears to have succeeded
most admirably. Let usliojic that he
will, whoever lie may be retire on his
laurels and recognized length of his
ears.
The Federal Elections Bill.
The federal elections hill is most
convincing evidence of the despera
tion of the republican party lenders.
They have abandoned all hope of car
rying the next house except by force
and fraud. They are not satisfied
with expelling southern congressmen
from the scats to which they were
fairly elected, hut now they have de
termined by means of a force bill to
control elections in the south. By
fiaudulents returns from enough
southern districts the republicans in
tend, if possible, to control the next
house.
The force bill ii conclusive testimo-
my. It shows the desperation of the
republican party.—Chronicle, Au
gusta.
There is a baic possibility that the
iniquitous measure will be defeated
in the senate.
