This is, undoubtedly our great
American grain—our national crop—
and too much consideration cannot
well be given to it, particularly at this
time when special effort is being made
to have it better known in the old
world as human food, it being liable
io become more damaged by long voy
ages than wheat; it has not hitherto,
been'so much exported as its impor
tant and food-value entitled it to;
but how that our ocean voyages are
much more speedy than formerly, and
improved modes are designed, this
grain can be as surely exported as
others.

The interview with Judge King and

marks.
Judge King sh^athgt he has now,
as he always has had, the true interests
of the Georgia Railroad at heart, when
ho declares that heshouldh^allowed
to retire from the Presidency of tiie

to his wishes. He has served them
long and faithfully, and they should be ■

But the venerable gentleman feels that
he has served them enough, and he
should be allowed to-- retire to quiet

glory and honor. There can he no
doubt that the road is not in a proper-
bus condition. For the present state
of affairs, Superintendent Johnson
should be held mainly responsible,
because of the fact that Judge King's
advanced age preventing him from
active supervision of all the interests
of the road, Mr. Johnson has had nat
urally a greater responsibility resting
upon him. Whatever may he said,
this, at least, must acknowledged, that
the management of the road has not
been successful.
In view of the retirement of Judge
King it is well to consider what should
he dona Mr. Phiuirv, .in the* inter
view mentioned, suggests that the offi
ces of President and Suprentendent
he combined. This is eminently wise
advice. As it is now, the Piesident
and Superintendent divide the respon
sibility of management. It would he
better, for obvious reasons, that the
ecjii'q'responsibility^should rest on «ie
