The freight is 30 cents per crate, 10 cents less than by steamer, and the condition of arrival is splendid.

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« lowing ex tracts,from letters written to that journal: “Let us assume,” says one writer, that there are a few commission houses in every city, nnd each re- ceivcs a car or more of melons on tho .same day.. Is it not reasonable to r expecYthnt “By sellihg'these' in' track londs more money cam be realized than by disposing of them in car lots, ns tho agent of a corporation is com pelled to do who receives, some days, from fifteen to twenty cars?

Olivit Bros, The Record of the Day. The Times-Entkrpri.se is not giv en to boasting, but yesterday s record was such a good one tlint it cannot refrain from mentioning it. J51 new names were added to tlie subscription list of the Daily Times-Enterprise. This was glory enough for one day. There is room, however, on the liooks for a few more. Several sweltering citizens in this atitude would readily join an expedi tion for the north pole. Harrisonhas been charged with neg lected his grandfather’s grave. Why, hasn’t lie enough to do to take care of his grand-father's hat ? per get the benefit of some 815 to 825, which is sometimes the* differ ence between truck load and cars lots ?” 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?” “As wo understand it,” says a third letter, “they have made a price to tlie grower fron t commencement of slii inpiug to Jul y 1st; another price July 15th, s nil another to the 1st Messrs. C. H. Young and Mitch Jones left yesterday for a several days visit to Lookout Mountain. They an ticipate a pleasant visit. Four districts in the county, indlud- ing the town district, show an approxi mate gain in population of 4.000. Old Thomas is coming. Tlie Thomasville party nt St. Tere sa, is probably enjoying the cool breezes, and thinking of their less for tunate friends here. Pear shipments are beginning in earnest. Prices thus far have not been high, because the fruit shipped was of poor'quality. Mr. Attention is called to the change of ad of the Suwannee Sulplitts Springs. The rates per week arc reasonable, and there is no better place to spend a short time away from home seeking health and pleasure. A sea turtle from Cedar Keys Fla., was received nt Starksbn lower Broad street yesterday morning. Vision of turtle soup arose before the passers by ns they caught sight of the big fellow. The News ot yesterday says and Mrs. D. I. MacIntyre and child ren leave to-eight for central New York, where they will spend the sum mer. W. H. Hnfcr, State organizer of the Red Men, writes to one of-tlicir mem bers here ns follows: “T will insti tute a new tribe of 165 members in Savannah on the 10th, and will be iu Thomasville on the 12th, aud will try aud bring a team from Savannah to assits in reorganizing the tribe iu Thomasville. Agent VanDyke was the lucky guesscr lor the watch at K. Thomas’ drug store. Mitch Jones was close after Itim however. 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 tractor and Builder, appears this morning, Mr. White is a fine work man, aud gives his personal attention to all work he has on baud. He is now building a neat cottage for Mr. B. F. Hawk i us on Dawson street, which will bn an ornament to that part of the city when completed. See hint when you have anything in his line to be done. of August. Nfiw wo all know that 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 tion of the exchange is a good one, and another season, if the mistakes of the past are remedied, melon growing Mr. 'William Miller, the well known contractor and builder, will leave in a few days for his old home in Canada, where lie will spend the summer. 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 and shirts of the latest design, it is not hard to sec that the end of such a fellow will be disgrace for himself grey hairs for his mother and tegrets for his friends. Mrs. W. L. Gordon leaves this morning for Richmond, Mich., her old home, where site will spend the summer. Mrs. Gordon lias been for a-oumber-of years principal of the Connecticut Industrial School, and' she has brought to the discharge of her duties iu this responsible position, a great deal of energy, zeal and intel ligence, nnd the result tins been, nnd will he, that the school has taken a high stand, and has done much good.
