tion lines, etc.
The object of the meeting was statod by
Judge Cunningham, lie said that the con
vention was called in order that some method
might he devised for quick and cheap trans
portation of early fruit. Mr. J. D. Cunning
ham, Jr., arose and offered the following reso
lution; prefacing it with a few remarks in
reference to the need of cheap and quick
transportation. He said also that there had
never been anything in middle Georgia like
the pencil crop of I he coming season. He
said that there might not be another such
soon, lie hoped that there would be, and he
was anxious to make the most of it. The
resolution offered was as follows:
A nKSOl.CrtON ItY MB. CUNNINGHAM.
Resolved by Uie convention of fruit-growers of
Georgia:
1. Ttiat a committee of three be appointed to ob
tain Jroin tlie different transportation companies
the best terms possible for the daily transportation
of our fruit from Atlanm to various poruts north
and west, and to recommend to the Georgia fruit
growers the cheapest and best routes to northern
and western markets.
2. That in our judgment fruit cannot be nrofita-
lily shipped when Uie time betweeu destination
and Atlanm exceeds forty-eight hours and the rate
one dollai |>er hundred for 1,000 miles and in pro
portion fora less distance. .
:t. That any mateiial inererae over these figures
tithe-in lime or ran- uill picvcnt tliu profitable
marketing of the hulk of mo early fruit crop of
Georgia.
On motion of Br. Ihrpe, Die lirst resolution was
amended so ns to rend live instead of three, as the
number of the committee.
The resolution was adopted as amended.
On motion of Mr., S. T. Jenkins, ‘ newspaper
men and representatives. of transportation
were invited to take part in the proceedings.
Mr. W. W. Woodruff, Sr., spoke of the part
which railroads and express companies should
take in developing the fruit interests, and
thought that the companies should not ex
pect to make much, hut should bear a share
of the burden in developing the industry.
Mr. Orme, of the West Point road, spoke
in reference to what his road would do. He
suit):
“All I have to say is to assure the people along
our mad that they shall have every facility for
transporting their fruit. At present there is but
one grower oil the West Point road that has any
crop of any size, but we want every man on our
road to feel that we will give a lime and a
rate that will l>e satisfactory. The road is a local
road that leads from Atlanta away from yourmnr-
kets. but we will bring our fruit here uad turn it
over to the connecting lines, ami thus make Atlanta
Die initial point of a btg system of fruit trausportu-
linn. There will be no dissatisfaction about the
role that we will make. We are ready to do our
part."
Dr. Hape spoke enthusiastically of the
prospect it suitable rates could be established.
He said that Georgia would be one great peach
orchard. He said that Mr. Orme seemed
ready to do what lie could, and he believed
that the other railroads and the express com
pany would be ready to do the same tiling.
Tin: SOUTHERN EXPRESS COMPANY.
Mr. Clavton, of the southern express com
pany, on being culled for said that his com-
pany could not handle the entire crop. He
said tlmt the rates could not be improved on,
but. that he was able to carry about thirty or
forty thousand pounds daily from Atlanta
lie had tried to get extra cars but the railroads
would not carry them. The passenger trains
are already too heavily loaded to add addi
tional ears and freight.
I)r. Hapc's amendment to the resolution of Mr.
-Cunningham having been adopted the chairman
appointed the following committee on transporta
tion; John V. Cunningham, W. \V. Woodruff,
Samuel Hope, W. 11 Clayton, George 11. Barnwell,
Joseph M. Brown.
Dr. Carv took tlie chair, and the committee re
tired. Mr. s. T. Jenkins spoke on transportation,
lie favored giving the fruit to the express compa
nies. Mr. .1. D. Cunningham. Jr., briefly answered
lum ami said that it was useless to talk about the
oxprevs company carrying the fruit. Mr. Clayton
himself had admitted that ho could not do it. He
thought that passenger train schedules for fruit
trains couid be obtained. Dr. Alexander
thought Die only feivible plan was
to ship in refrigerators. His
idea was to have refrigerator ears go up and down
Hie several roads leading into Atlanta and take on
the fruit at the stations. He believed a fruit train
was Impracticable, because there is no one place at
which n train could be loaded. He said that his
scheme was for the dealers to go with the cars, and
by advertising for it have the fruit brought to the
trains. The fruit could then be sold and the grower
would have nothing more to do with it. He did
not want toship to agents or to commission houses.
He would rather take half price at the nearest de
pot and have his trouble ended there. A short
discussion arose as to the pro tils of evaporating,
and a member stated that fruit need not be sold for
less than two dollars a bushel as long as it could be
evaporated. Dr. Alexander said ttiat he cared not
what the dealers got for the peaches. Mr. Wood run
said that he heard a gentleman say he was going to
deal m geachcs, and bis Idea was to get them at 2a
cents a bushel.
A TRAIN or FIVE CARS. *
Dr. llape, of the committee on transportation, re
turned to the room and stated that the committee
desired to get some idea of the size of the crop, lie
asked those present to say how many peaches they
could ship daily. He said that a fruit train of five
cars on passenger schedules could be obtained if
the fruit could be secured to load it. Mr. Cunning
ham said he could furnish from one to four cars a
day. Mr. Robinson said he coaid furnish fifty
boxes daily. Mr. Guild said he could furnish from
fifty to a hundred boxes. Dr. Alexander thought
Decatur could supply a car load every three days.
Mr. Woodruff said taat there were four or five mer
chants at Griffin who would ship largely. Mr. Mc
Crca said that a firm of which he was a member
would ship all the fruit that came to
Marietta. Mr. Woodruff raid that
lie had heard many farmers say they would ship
fruit if they could get rates. Dr. llape raid that
it had been suggested that a ear of vegetables be
added. Anything would be taken, lie said, so the
five eats were made up. Mr. J. W. Stokes said he
thought it would 1)0 an easy matter to make up
such a train. He had known Richmond county tc
ship twenty car loads of watermelons in a day
Mr. Rushing said that his firm, that of Rushing.
Keller A Co., intended to take hold of the fruit
business if he could make suitable freight rates,
llis plan was to conduct it as the chicken business
is carried on in Hast Tennessee. He would buy
from the farmers Add fruit growers. Mr. Woodruff
said that if be di£fie would get his fruit tn suen
a Kid condition (hat he would lose
monev on it. Mr. Jenkins spoke of hi’
experience with Irnit. He had advised a friend of
liis to plain an orchard, and at the end of three
years his friend sold 800 bushels of fruit and lost
$300 where he should have made $3,000. He had
allowed negroes and inexperienced persons to ship
his fruit, and ii was not done properly. The ex
perience of his friend, however, had discouraged
all his neighbors and tlie fruit business in thai lo
cality was not regarded as a very good thing. He
therefore urged that those who entered the business
should endeavor to make it a success, so as to en
courage and not discourage others.
HOW TO SHIP FRUIT.
Mr. Cunningham gave his experience in gather-
reach market ntbeimu inexperienced people
gather and handle it. Mr. Wood riff said the Geor-
<ia pea h had a reputation in the market and he
[toped for ihe sake of that reputation that no bad
fruit would ever be sent out of the state. On mo
Uou of Mr. ltass Die iollowing gentle
men were appointed a committee to pre
pare an ni tide on the best wav to ship fruit ana to
publish the same: W. W. Woodruff, J. D. Cti’i-
lilnghain, W. V. Robinson, Dr. Samuel llape, J. If.
Parnell and S. F. Jenkins. The committee will
make a report in a few days.
Mr. H. IV. Grady read the following letter as a
matter of information to the convention and as
bearing on the subject of trausportaiion, after
hich the matter of refrigerator car? was discussed:
Tiffany Refrigerator Car Co., Chicago. Mav
23d, 1882.—Editors Constitution: I notice a desire
on the part of the growers of your state to market
their fruits in eastern and northern cities. The
irobltm to be solved is to so prepare tlie lruit that
t may ripen on the trees and acquire proper sweet
ness and flavor, and carry out such conditions that
it shall reach the market without any change of
condition while in transit and have ich keeping
qualities that it will stand the ordinary exposure
on sale at destination. Our methods are the result
of some fifteen years experience and. ergo, 1 might
say, strawberries had been kept in our refrigerator
for eight weeks in perfect flavor and condition.
The shipping of fruits only partly ripe, crowded
together In ]>ackages, even with a large amount of
ventilation in cars, docs not overcome the difficulty,
as Die age acquired en route is more a premature
decay than a natural ripening, losing both flavor
ami color. Our experience has demonstrated the
fact that if proper methods for cooling and prepar
ing Die fruits are Used, and fruit then placed in
cars, that the distance traveled or time that tlie
fruit remains in the cars prevents any change what
ever—i. c., any further ripening of the fruit from
the time it enters lhe cooling room until taken out
of the cur, whether the time has been one day or
six on the road We have kept fresh figs two
fceks and then brought -them to
hlCago, not in large qualities, but under
the same conditions. The process or method does
not require a large outlay, nor is the amount of ice
consumed large. Early in the history of the Tiffa-
ny Refrigerator Car company we kept 50 to Go cars
on hand that were sent on experimental trios. One
reason I could not leave here yesterday was', that I
was closing negotiations, and the order was given
for quite a number of cars on a western road, being
the second order on the same road. The general
freight agent remarked that llie ours had rendered
excellent service all last winter, carrying apples
and potatoes and other green frail’ in the coldest
weather. Different builders will deliver at differ
ent roads from 125 to 150 of our cars this mouth. I
only spe .k of the experience of this road in wiuter
to show you that the outside temperature or weath
er does not influence the freight within the
car. The fact that we maintain an
even temperature of 40 degrees the
entire distance to Boston in the monthsoi July and
August, also shows the same results in summer.
To condense the matter and bringing it to a point,
if the growers or shippers can urrange with tlie
railroads to build or lease cars we wi!l furnish
dims for a cooling room and will personally super
intend starling the shipments. In my letter of the
""ill 1 asked the question if you had ice iu your
ity. Three years ago, finding that after a mild
Vinter it was difficult to get ice in the interior
points of the south, we commenced to test and ex
amine the diflercnt methods of producing cold ar
tificially, or by mechanical means, and without go-
iug into u lengthy description of the processes, we
ijay that we found compressed air without chemi
cals or lhe rise of ice could be made to give us lire
desired result. We are now having machines
built in Boston for this purpose. We have
had one machine iu Boston for several inoriDis.
showing it to Die produce and provision dealers
there, and with very satisfactory results, so much
so that we have taken several orders for machines,
and only rneniicn this to show that where ice is
scarce artificial means can be used and of
such a portable nature that they can be carried
from place to place, ns tlie shipping point may be
removed from one place to another, us readily as an
ordinary steam engine. Wc consider this will be a
very necessary auxiliary to the success of this busi
ness. The construction of the car is such that any
moisture given by tlie fruit ns well as the heat is
entirely taken care of, and in actual experience the
fruit kept for' six days alter leav
ing the ear. The advantage of having the
fruits ripe before leaving and Die same placed on
the market in tlie condition at tlie north cannot be
overestimated. Asl said we did have a number of
ears sullivient to equip such a line, but they are
about all leased for a year or more. We have ir, the
yard to-day two cars that could, perhaps, be leased.
I don’t know the manager of the Green Line, but
shonid judge their organization for through busi
ness was such that it would be desirable to see them
about putting ou the cars. . 1 should want a reason
able notice before visiting your place, aud shall
have considerable business cast from Chicago this
season and need timely notice to make necessary
arrangements before leaving. Yours, truly.

and Mr B G McGaughey, of Atlanta, joined in the
five minutes discussion which followed, all express
ing warm sympathy and material aid to the cause
in the wire-grass region.
A telegram was read from the Sunday school as
sociation of Connecticut, as follows:
“Norwich. Conn., May 17, 1882.—Connecticut
sends greeting. Phiiipians, chapter L verses 9, 10,
11. James L. Howard,
“Prrs't Conn.'S. S. Convention.”
On motion Mr J C Kimball was appointed a com
mittee of one to send a suitable reply to Sunday
school association of Connecticut.
WOMAN’S TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION.
Mr. Thompson represented the Woman’s associa
tion, and in a short speech advocated the cause of
temperance in Sunday-school work. The address
was well received, aud was followed by a re.-oliuion,
unanimously adopted, that this convention hearti
ly aud earnestly indorse the work of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance association, and willhear-
tily co-operate in the same.
•What Shall the Harvest Be?” was then heartily
sung.
The next subject of discussion was the “Progress
and Prospect of the Sunday-school Work iu North
Georgia,” by the Rev. Virgil C. Noreross, oi Atlanta.
The reverend gentleman, fortified by statistics of
the progress made iu the last decade in this section
of our state, painted a glowing picture of its future,
illustrating the power of organization and the suc
cess which crowns well directed effort, heightening
the picture by a coloring of future glory—tlie suc
cess of that effort. His speech was listened to with
marked attention.
The next subject discussed was announced by
the president—“The best methods of conducting a
Sunday-school or class”—and Mr. J. C. Courtuey,
secretary of the convention and superintendent or
the First Methodist church Sunday-school oi At
lanta, in a lecture, unique, logical, forcible aud
beautiful, charmed aud delighted the audience tor
thirty minutes. It was a blackboard illustration,
interspersed with beautiful illustrations and vivid
word paintings of the qualities of the successful
Sunday-school teacher and superintendent.
Letters were read from his excellency, Governor
Colquitt and Rev. A. S. Thomas, chairman of the
executive committee, explaining that official duDes
have prevented their hoped-for attendance.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
This interesting portion of the proceedings was
novel and well conceived, Mr. J. VV. Wallace, ol
Augusta, a leading Sunduy-scliool worker, under
taking the difficult questions, sueli as the following:
What is the best method of teaching an infaut
class? How can we keep in our Sunday-schools the
young unmarried ladies and gentlemen? Is it ever
wise to place an unconverted person in charge of a
Sunday-school class? What is the best plan for
opening, carrying on and closing Sunday-schools?
Ilow shall we arrange to have our children at Sun
day-school aud church services on Sabbath without
wearying them? How shall 1 get the parents into
the Sunday-schools? Shall we invite the world to
help us in our work? What is a Sunday-school ?
These.jand similar questions regarding the work
suggested by the occasion, are collected from the
audience, aud Mr. Wallace undertakes the task of
answering them. He stood tlie test remarkably,
and gave replies in brief, filled with wisdom and
practical utility. For about a half hour he an
swered questions propounded, much to the edifica
tion and instruction of the convention. At the
conclusion of Mr. Wallace’s lecture, the hour hav
ing arrived, the convention adjourned.
THE POWER OF ORGANIZED EFFORT
was the second topic discussed, very forcibly, by
Mr. J. C. Kimballin a vigorous speech of about ten
minutes’ length, but the want of time, owing to
Die press of other more important business on hand,
admitted only oi this brief consideration of the
subject.
On motion of Mr. J. C. Kimball, the Christian
greetings of the convention were tendered to the
Subbath school convention now iu session at Opeli
ka, Alabama, and a committee, consisting of J. C.
Kimball, J. W. Wallace and K. B. Reppard, were
appointed for that purpose.

Thursday Night—Chlldrea** Jubilee.
The grand culmination of enthusiasm was mani
fested at the Sunday-School mass meeting at the
Independent Presbyterian church, the largest and
most magnificent church edifice in the state, seat
ing a congregation ot 1.500 persons.
At an early hour that spacious edifice was liter
ally parked with not an available inch of room to
spare. The several Sunday schools of the Independ
ent Presbyterian. First Presbyterian, Wesley Monu
mental. Trinity. New Houston, Lutheran, Baptist
and Christian church congregations, under their
respectiv superintendents, were early seated in the
body of the church, which was sxm filled by the
largest number of people ever assembled in one
edifice in the city of Savannah—the number being
estimated at 2,500.
Standing upon the platform tn front of this vast
concourse a scene was presented at once grand,
beautiful and inspiring. Such an assemblage of
bright eycad and beautifully dressed children
wete probably never before witnessed in the south.
Promptly at the appointed hour the exercises
were commenced by the immense congregation
singing as with one voice. “I am so glad that Jesus
loves me,” which was followed by an earnest prayer
by the Kev L’r Axson. pastor of the church.
The services consisted of short five minute
speeches by distinguished workers in the Sunday-
school cause. Members of the convention, among
whom were J C Courtney. E J Benton, Hon M A
Candler. Sidney Root. J C Kimball, John B Este*.
Kev Mr Dillard and Rev Virgil C Noreross. all of
ularly a happy effort, and with the others \va< re
ceived with manifest delight by tiie vast assembly.
The exercises were interspersed by singing, in
which the several Sunday-schools participated,
each singing selected hymns unde* their own or
ganists and leaders.
Professor Wallace,-the sweet singer from Augusta,
delighted the vast assemblage by singing “On, the
bitter pain aud sorrow.”
The Rev J. L. Lyon, dressed in Oriental costume,
after a pleasing introduction, sang in the Arabic
tongue a familiar song, which was greeted with
much applause.
From the first tap of the bell at the owning until
the last hymn was sung the exercises \verc of the
most spirited character, awakening an enthusiasm
that would buret out into heartv apolause in spite
of all restraint.
R B. Reppard, of Savannah, the president-elect
of the state association, conducted the services and
managed the whole affair witlr such consummate
tact, and iufused into it such a general happy
splnt as to ensure success and win at first the love
and confidence of every delegate present.
On Friday morning at 9 o'clock, by the generous
courtesy of the Savannah committee, the entire
delegation embarked upon the steamer St. Nicholas
and enjoyed a most delightful sail down past Tybee
to the outer sea buoy, returning in time for dinner
and rest oefore leaving for home.
On the return, just before the boat reached the
wharf, a scene occurred that will never pass from
the memory or heart of those present. The enUre
company were assembled by invitation upon the

Results of Co-operation.
From the Elberton, Ga.. New South.
Mr. Editor: About one hundred and seven
ty-five members of the grange organization in
Elbert county formed themselves into the
above association and began business about
the 25th of October, 1SS1, with a capital of
only twenty-three hundred and eighty dollars.
On the first day of January, 1882, after paying
eight per cent 'interest on tlie capital stock',
house rent, clerk’s hire and all other expenses,
there was tiiree hundred and ninety one
(84-100) dollars net profits for dividends, which
gave to the stockholders thirteen percent div
idend on the amount of trade they
4one, and to members of the
grange who held no stock seven per
cent on their trade. On January 1st, 1882,
the beginning of the second quarter, the cap
ital stock wtts increased to twenty-five hun
dred and five dollars, and on the first of April,
the end of the second quarter, it was found
that, after paying the eight per cent interest
on the capital stock, house rent, .clerk’s hire
and every other expense, there were four hun
dred and sixty dollars for dividends. This
gave to stockholders thirteen and one quarter
per cent dividend and to non-stockholders
seven and a half per cent on their respective
amounts of trade. These are facts, Mr. Edi
tor, and the books of tlie get!era I manager and
of the secretary will verify the same. And
this illustration will truthfully serve for every
trade that is made.
Lucky Fishermen.
From the Coffee County, Ga.. Gazette.
Last Saturday morning as the sun climbed
the eastern hills and threw his rays across the
front door step, two fishermen, with their
brows darkened with anger toward the finny
tribe, might have been seen wending their
way to the fish pond. All day long nothing
was seen or heard of them, and their friends
were beginning to imagine all kinds of horri
ble things, when, as old Sol was sinking be
hind the distant lien-roost, the rattle aud
tramp of the returning conquerors were heard
in the distance, and lo, and behold! Colonel
Cady and Professor Edwards had returned.
Professor Edwards caught 81 fine bream, and
would have caught 85, but he forgot to spit
on his hook the last time. Colonel Cady was
equally as lucky. Of course we never got any
of them. Thanks, allee samee.
His Honor’s Calf.
From the Griffin Ga., News.
Wednesday an ordinance was scattered over
tlie streets to the effect that no stock of any
kind should be allowed to wander on the
streets, or anywhere except on the owner’s
premises, under an extreme penalty. Tlie
same night William Little, who lives about
three or four hundred yards from the mayor’s
residence, beard a bleating out in his truck
patch, and going out beheld a calf devouring
iris fine vegetables. He promptly imprisoned
it, and the next morning, before the hour for
morning prayers was over, lo, and behold! a
servant of his honor came in and inquired
about the calf, and it was turned over.
Moral—Let him who has a calf and desireth
not ro set up to drinks, refrain from the sign
ing of ordinances.
A Hail of a Time.
From the Hartwell. Ga., Sun. '
They had a hail of a time over in Anderson
county on Monday. Had heavy hail storms
in three different sections. Considerable dam
age was done to corn and cotton. In one
place the ground for a mile and a half wide
and three miles long was covered to the depth
of two inches, in spots. At this point the
hail stones were small, but three miles of the
city the stones averaged in size from a pea to
a partridge egg. On Tuesday another section
of the county was visited by hail. These
facts are gathered from the Intelligencer. We
noticed the heavy clouds over in that direc
tion Monday, and the weather being so cold
we predicted hail over there, and yet we are
not a Vennorable man.

A GREAT INVENTION,
And One That the Fruit Grower. WUl be Glad to Sec
Messrs. Cullen & Newman, of Knoxville, Term.,
have sent down for the inspection of all fruitgrow
ers one of Gunn’s patent fruit dryers The
dryer is one of the most perfect ever in- :
vented and yet is exceedingly cheap. It is built
with a view to supplying a long-felt need, namely,
t machine thst will do perfect drying quickly and j
cheaply, and which is not so expen-!
sive as to be out of tlie reach of j
small fruit growers. The dryer sent down for!
Die inspection ef the convention dries ten bushels i
per day or abushel au hour. Fruit is dried perfectly >
in an hour. The machine at first sight resembles a !
small stationary engine somewhat. It is about five ]
feet high, and is made of sheet iron. Near the bot
tom is a fire-box The smoke is conducted Dirough
pipes, and after muking a circuit goes out by the
top. Inside the dryer arc a series of
wire-bottomed pans, on* which the
fruit is spread for djying. It dries
the fruit very quickly and in aff uuequalcd man
ner. it dries all fruits, making no distinction-be
tween apples, peaches, pears. Blackberries, or even
potatoes, corn or other Vegetables. It is a well
known fact that apples and other fruits dried
in evaporators are greatly superior to those dried
by the old process. They sell for four pr five times
os much and there is no reason why every farmer
and fruit grower should not take tjivantage of this
and make more money out of their fruit. The
driers are cheap. One that dries ten bushels per
day costs thirty dollars and will pay for itstdf in ten
days. A larger size which wUl dry twenty bushels
per day sells for fifty dollars. Colonel J. S. New
man is agentfor the machine,and will show it to all
fruit growers. The baking powers of Die machine

A Letter From General J filial A. Early.
On the 31st of March General Early wrote a letter
relating to the Louisiana State Lottery Company,
from which the following statements of interest to
the general public are extracted:
“Mr. M. A. Dauphin, the president of the Lou
isiana State Lottery Company, resides in New Or
leans, which has been his place oi residence for
many years: and he is universally esteemed rs a
gentleman of high eharaeh r. For the correctness
of whatever he publishes in regard to the opera
tions of the Lottery Company lam willing to vouch.
The drawings of the Lottery, semi annual and
monthly, are under the sole aud exclusive control
of General Beauregnrd and myself, the officials of
the Lottery Company having nothing to do with
them, except to furnish us with the requisite ma
terials and tacilities; aud we take especial care that
the drawings are published precisely as they take
place, in the monthly schemes all the rickets are
sold, and all of the prizes are necessarily drawn, so
that the company has no passible inducement lo
make any false statement in regard thereto.
“1 may say here that there are many people who
cannot understand how it Is that, when they have
bought five, ten, fifteen or twenty tickets, they
have drawn nothing. It is only necessary to say
that of those who do buy tickets, there must neces
sarily be a very great many who draw uothing. If
it were not so, no one would be fool enough to es
tablish a lottery. Where a man, by spending ten
dollars, stands a chance of drawing$100,000, $59,000,
$20,000 and various other prizes of smaller amounts;
or hv spending two dollars, enn draw $30,000. $ 0,-
000, $5,000, and various other prizes down to $10, he
must not be surprised if he fails after taking many
chances. It is a matter of chance or luck entirely
“General Beauregard and myself have had ampl“
opportunity to test the integrity of the Louisiana
State Lottery Company iu all of its dealings, and
we are willing to vouch for it, as we have done on
repeated occasions, if any one can satisfy us that
the company has acted fraudulently in any of its
dealings, we will dissolve our connection with it
very promptly, and take far more efficient measures
to expose its misdeeds than can be taken by irre
sponsible anonymous newspaper correspondents.
“The company, which numbers among its stock
holders some of the most respectable gentlemen of
New Orleans, has sense enough to know that it can
make a great deal more money by conducting its
operations fairly and honestly, than by a resort to
fraud. It has a firm financial basis to stand ou,
and is therefore subject to the hostility of other lot
tery companies which have no capital.
"I may add that it pays annually for the support
of the Charity Hospital in New Orleans, one of the
noblest charities in all the country, $10,009 per an
num, according to its contract with the state. Be
sides this, its principal proprietors contribute very
liberally and largely to other charities and public
enterprises. J. A. Early.”
