The Melon Exchange.
There was considerable excitement
Tuesday afternoon, along the line of
tlie S. F. A W. Ry., among tlie mol-
on growers.
It was whispered that the drafts
drawn by tlie syndicate had been re
turned unpaid,
Yesterday morning the news was
generally 'circulated, and of course,
the excitement increased.
The reason given for the refusal of
the drafts was that fraud had been
perpetrated,and pending investigation,
all shipments would bo refused.
The Times-Enterprise has taken
occasion heretofore, to speak freely of
the mistakes that lmve been made,
but now that trouble lias come upon
tlie exchange, it is not inclined to
adopt the language .of the philoso
pher that take tho doleful plirase,.“I
told you so,” as their shibboleth
We have realized from tho begin
ning, that it was an undertaking of
great magnitude and importance, tho
handling by purchase, of the melon
crop of the south, and realizing this,
we felt that the exchange could not
afford to make any mistakes,
It seems to have been the policy of
the syndicate from the opening of the
season to assume a dictatorial air, and
to run out all opposition by ridicule
or open enmity.
These have borne their legitimate
fruit.
Some weeks ago we copied an arti
cle from tho Fruit Trade Review, of
New York. From a later date of the
same publication, wc make tho fol«

that journal:

The Times-Entkrpri.se is not giv

Another letter says ; “Do you sup
pose, Mr. Editor, that if the estno-
lishei! commission lupuses attempted
to resort to illegal methods itt returns
for goods shipped, or, in other words,
returned tlie shipper less money than
his competitor, he could exist? Are
we tint all striving to get as much
money for our jiconlc as wc can, so
ns to maintain our reputation and
encourage future shipments?”

While the exact population of the
city cannot be given, it is gratifying
to know that if the town grows within
the next ten years, as it has in the
past, it will pass the ten thousand,
mark, in 1909.
The card of Mr. A. S. White, Con

there are tiuif s when a glut in the
different mad ;cts cannot be averted,
usually the ’fitter part of July, when
melons shipp ad will not pay freight.
Now, about how long would this as
sociation *ta nd shipping at a loss, and
who would stand tnis loss ? Not the
merchant, ~by any means; the grower
would catch it.”
Htill a fourth letter reads : “I am
in receipt of n letter front Quitman,
Ga., asking if I can find a market for
medium-sized melons. From this I
should judge that the choice stock
has most nil been shipped. Can you
tell me ■what the association will do
to dispose of their stock—medium
and small sized melons—when they
commence to corao in large quanti
ties ?”
“I bought a car lot of melons, says
another, “from the agent of tho Ex
change, nnd sold it in about twenty
minutes at a profit of 832, disposing
of it in truck loads. Gould not the
farmer have made this profit?’
, Another writer, who is doubtless
ill favor of organizations, sends us the
following:
“There cannot possibly ho a ques
tion as to a value of organizations or
corporations to tho producers of our
country. The value, however, de
pends upon how well these are mana
ged, and only when the interests of
the smaller shipper and grower arc
equally considered and protected with
those of the large ones.”
The idea that prompted the forma

the past are remedied, melon growing

Whenever a young man starts out
in life with the idea imbedded in his
cranium that the summit of human
greatness and happiness is reached by
tlie'wearing of baggy breeches, of shoes
extraordinary color and cut and ties

not hard to sec that the end of such
a fellow will be disgrace for himself
