South Georgia 1ms developed a new industiy. The cultivation of melons. Few who have not given special at tention to the subject, are aware of the extent and magnitude ol the business. The Augusta Chronicle has this to say about the subject, and we commend it to the consideration of the melon growers ot Thomas county, and nlso, to those who contemplate embarking in the business next season. The Chronicle says: ‘•Mr. J. H. Hale, special agent of the elevouth census for the investiga tion ot horticulture, truck farm and fruit, is euthusiatic over the Georgia melon. The census will make a spe cialty of this kingly fruit. Mr. Hale has developed the fact that Georgia has absorbed the melon crop ot Ameiica and is now supplying the North aud West with this great staple fruit. The mclou has become a royal summer article. Coming at the end of the strawberry season, when the heat of rummer demands the sue- euleney of this juicy gem, the melon is now more thuu a luxury. It is a staple article ot food. In these days of quick transit mid increased produc tion, it has ceased to he an article solely for the tables ot the rich. It is iu easy reach of the poor aud its mis sion North mid West, in keeping down the temperature and supplying the place of heavier meats aud drinks is a great one. “The crop of Georgia this year will be 8,090 cars of 1,000 melons each. This yield of S,000,000 melons is be ing scut abroad every year. They net the growers 0 cents apiece, being nearly §500,000 put into the pockets of Georgia farmers at a season of the year when they most need it, and leaving their laud for a pea crop— making two yields for the season. Georgia lands yield on nn average of 700 melons to the acre, although some expert* gel as many us 2,000 to the acre. The average is increasing every year, and next year’s yield in Georgia will probably he 10,000.000. The railroads this season have gotten about 12 cents u melon for moving the crup, amounting in the total to §1,000,000, or twice as much ns the producer. A melon which costs 10 cents in Georgia will bring 30 or 40 cents iu New York. “The railroads, of course, have (mill up a tremendous traffic in mel on*. They have pushed the trade, sent special men to work up the busi ness, built fruit cars, made fast through schedules, nud given their melon traius rights of way with first class puBseugcr rights The Georgia melon is shipped by thousands to cve- ery poiut iu the North nud West from Cortland, Me. ; to Denver, Col. Some idea of what the melon trade is worth to the railroads may be gleaned from the statement that each acre yields §50 ill freight while an acre planted in cotton averages less than §2 in freight. "Mr. Gale thinks it no wonder the Georgia farmer is iu so much better condition than the Western farmer—a fact which he vouches for by actual observation made iu the past few months. He believes not one bun dredth part of the mclou territory of Georgia is under cultivation. Aud the demand tor the Georgia melon is growing every year.” “Mr. Hale declares that Southwest Georgia has become the melon centre, and the Ivolh gem, by virtue of its su perior qualities for shipping aud its staying properties, is the staple melon. Sometimes it keeps two weeks.” Thomas county has not engaged as largely in this business ns some of her sister counties, hut if proper means are employed to equalize the distri bution of this crop iu the future, it will pay those along the lines of rail way, to engage in the business on a more extensive scale, than they have in the past. Sunday School Convention. The committee having in charge the preparation of the programme for the Sunday school convention at Green Shade, Decatur county, Aug. 25, f>, 7, are making fine progress, and nre securing some of the host talent in the district tp speak on important and interesting topics.

We hope the schools ofThomnsvillc and Thomas county will be well rep resented on the occasion. Railroads will give reduced rates. «*-•-«♦ Prospects Brightening for the Augusta Road. The Augusta Chronicle of Sunday says: President J. C. Short, of the Au gusta and Thomasvillc Construction Company, which is building the Au gusta nud West Florida railroad, arri ved in the city yesterday. He will be here for several days. A conference was held yesterday between the officers of the Augusta and West Florida road and President Short. Iu speaking of the prospects of the road, while asking to he excus ed from going into particulars, lie says the Hue is uow almost invincible. Something startliug is on dit for the next week.
