MELON GROWERS MEET
Macon To-morrow—A Barbecue Din
ner Will be Tendered Them,
A Stirring Sceno In the Houae-
llepubltcana Belt.
Special to Recorder.
Washington, D. C., May 21.—
The McKinley tarill* bill passed the
House this afternoon by a vote of
164 to 142, Coleman, of Louisiana,
and Featherstone, of Arkansas, both
Republicans, voting with the Dem
ocrats.
The Ways and Means Committee
did not successfully hold out against
the division of opinion on the Re
publican side relating to certain
schedules, and the result was the
committee’s defeat on the amend
ment relating to jute and woolen
yarns worth .'10 cents per pound
and under, and barely succeeded in
the case of tinned plate.
There was the greatest confusion
during the vote, and pandemonium
reign* <1, and the third leading and
voting only proceeded after a long
uproar.
The nmrmg. rs of the bill were
clever in limiting the period for de
bate and making iron-eiad order ns
to time.
The Democrat* contested every
point, and were only defeated by
Reed’s rules. R. M. C
FORTY MILES GRADED.
Anil Only Fifteen Morn to FlnlNti tlio
Line.
Macon, May 21.—Forty miles are
graded. Only fifteen more remain
to be graded. Work will begin in
thirty days. The road will be com
pleted in twelve months. Northern
capital backing the enterprise.
Such in brief is the condition and
promises of the Macon & Dublin
road. Several years ago grading
on the Macon & Dublin road com
menced at Dublin and was com
pleted forty miles towards Macon,
leaving only a gap of fifteen miles
to complete the entire line. This
gap, however, is the roughest and
most hilly of all the work. Though
the said forty miles were graded
several years ago the gradiug is
said to be in excellent condition,
and can be made perfect at a cost of
about $2,000. This grading was
done with the money of the people
living along the line, and it is re
ported that President Dudley
Hughes has spent about $40,000 of
his money in the enterprise.
HURLED TO DEATH.
Macon, Ga., May, 21 —On next
Friday Macon will be full of melon
meu. They are to hold a very im
portant meeting here on that day.
Railr/ uds all over the country have
given r^uued rates to the growers
and ti.c> will come from far and
near.
The stockholders of the Central
Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Ex
change have beeu invited to take
part. At the meeting some im
portant features in regard to hand
ling the next crop will be discussed.
They propose by co-operation fo
prevent the overstocking of the
markets and it is thought that
twice as much can be realized from
the sale of the melons, peaches,
grapes, etc.
It is said July melons will bring
the grower from $125 to $140 net if
distributed in a systematic way.
Only about l.‘J,000 cars of melons
ere grown In Georgia and South
Carolina last year, and the United
States, it is said, can easily use 25,-
000 cars. This, it seems, would
make co-operation a great benefit
to the melon men.
A barbecue dinner is to be tm-
dered tin* delegates. It will be
spread near the office of the Fruit
Exchange in the Planters’ Oil and
Ice Factory. Everything possi‘ *
will be done to make them huv
good time.

Washington, D.C. Mu' 19.—Tiie

conversation to-day. Bynum play
ed a winning hand pushed himself
to the front ranks. Differences

Injudicious use of mercury in the

sometimes become affected, causing

Sparta, Ga., May 15.—Tiie Spar
ta Ishmaelite will to-morrow pub
lish the following interview with
Col. VV. J. Northeu:
The Ishmaelmlteasked Mr. North-
en what he had to say about the ru
mors, current over the State, charg
ing him with favoring corporations
as ugailist the people. He replied:
"As I hear them, they aic abso
lutely false. No man lias ever
heara me, iiymy way, advocate the
supremacy of corporations and tbe
consequentsubjection of the people.
I have never done anything to au
thorize sucli a statement, nor to
bring about such a result.
“Every corporation lias its guar
anteed rights and tiie State is hound
to protect, them. I am absolutely
opposed to gruutiug any rights to
any incorporation that makes en
croachments upon tiie reserved
rights of tiie people or the interests
of tiie masses. I would he glad to
see all corporations, under tiie full
est protection of the law, go forward
successfully, to tiie development of
the State, but I would not be will
ing, nor, if in office, would I ever
consent to see them advance one
step upon the rigiits of tiie people
The first bill I ever introduced nml
pressed to passage in the general
assembly, looked to the restraining
of corporations in tiie interest of
tho people. It is tiie duty of the
State to protect all classes of its
citizens and give undue advantage
to none.”
“Do you own any stock iu any
railroad or other corporal ions?”
"Not one dollar, and I never |
did.”
“Did you ever hold any official
position on any railroad, or other!
corporation?”
“I never did. As I never owned j
any stock, it is not to be expected
tliat I ever held an / official posi
tion. I have no personal ‘merest
whatever iu any corporation, and
neverdid have.”
"It is said that you are not an ad
vocate for the railroad commission.
Is that true?”
“That stutoment is absolutely
false. I have advocated the com
mission from the beginning and no
mail iu Georgia is more heartily in
favor of it than I.
“You can say that I never uttered
a word or cast a vote upou tiie com
mission that I did not believe at
the time was for tho strengthening
of the commission iu the interest of
the people aud for the good of tiie
Stnte.”
“You are charged with having
made agreements looking to ap
pointment and favor with such
parties as might aid your olection:
in fact, that you are under some
obligations or, in some way, com
mitted to corporations to favor
them in legislation beyond what is
due them. What have you to say
to the public about.these charges?”
“I have to say that it is the duty
of the man who makes the charges
to proceed at once to prove them.
If I have done such a thing the peo
ple of Georgia ought to kuow it
without further delay.
“I deny that I ever entered Into
any agreement, either directly or
indirectly, tacitly or openly, with
any man or Bet of meu, to confer
any favor, extend any help or make
any appointment, based upon aid
in my election. I have uotexpress-
ed or intimated to any man that I
will extend to him, or those whom
he may rep resent, favor of any kind,
if I should be put iuto office. The
charge is simply infamous.
“If I am made Governor, f will
be absolutely free to consider any
appointment or any appeal and de
cide yie issues a-, in my judgment,
may be for the good of the State
aud tho interest of the people—free
from promise, prejudice or power
to be exercised by any living man.
“Ob, no; these rumors are all
misrepresentations and necessary
attendants upon modern politics.
They were started by interested
parties, to defeat my election.
They are circulated by the same
parties who said I was born iu
Pennsylvania, that I served in the
Federal army, that I opposed Hie
use of cotton bagging and favored
the jute trust. I am fully prepared
to hear many more just such
charges and possibly worse.
“You can say that I am absolute
ly untrammelled bv bargains and
promises of any and ail kinds, and
that the man who knows to the
contrary is at liberty d tell the
people what he knows.”
