SAD AND FATAL ACCIDEST-DEATH OF CAP
TAIN WILLIAM G. ToTTY.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
NOVEMBER 90. 1888.
CAPTAIN William q. Totty, aged about
fifty wears, and for the past twelve years the
conductor OF freight train on the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio and Norfolk and
Western railroad, met with sad accident
at an early hour this morning at Will
sons depot, from the effects OF which
he died in n few hours. Captain
Totty left this city at IL O'Clock last night
in charge OF a train bound for Lynchburg.
On reaching Wilson's early this morning
the train stopped, as usual, to take on fuel
and water. The wood was thrown into
the tender from an embankment, and Cap
tain Totty in walking from the rear to the
front OF the train bad occasion to pass be-
tween the tender and the embankment. In
doing so he was unfortunately struck on
the head by one OF the heavy sticks OF
wood, which fell from or before reaching
the tender. He was knocked senseless, but
subsequently recovered sufficiently to pro-
ceed with his train. He talked nationally
with his friends on the way and discharged
his duties, though complaining OF severe
SUFFERING dDDut lHt Dtipit
Pamplin's, however, his reason left him,
and at that place he was taken of and
placed under the care Of a physician, who
at once pronounced his condition to be
critical. His skull was found to have been
fractured by the blow from the piece OF
wood, and rapid conclusion OF the brain
was the result. He died ut II O'Clock at
Pamplin's. The accident was telegraphed
to his family in this city, and his wife and
daughter left at 1880 O'Clock to attend at
at his side. His remains will probably be
brought down to Petersburg tonight for
interment.
Captain Totty leaves a widow and five
children. He was a Mason and Knight
Templar, and will be buried with the
honors OF those orders. He was well
known all along the line Of the road from
Norfolk to Lynchburg. ROBIN ADAIR.

The TRUCK Farm Spread.

Five wears ago the only truck farming
known I'm Georgia was around the suburbs
Of a few Of the chief cities, conducted on
a small scale for the local markets.
About that time a small beginning was
made in LOwndes, Brooks and Thomas
counties, along the line Of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railroad. 70 plant
fruits and vegetables for the Northern
markets. Year by year the business has
increased from that date, spreading
down that road 70 >ayan-
nah. westward TO Bainbridge,
southwark to Middle Florida, and north
ward 10 Camilla, Albany, Americas, Mon
tezuma, and passing Macon, on TO Griffin,
East Point and the country around At
lanta, where. according to newspaper ac-
counts. a genuine interest Is daily increas-
ing IN the business. The country south
Of Macon is also waking up on the sub
iect. In Pulaski county the people
have become 50 well satisfied
that it is a safe and profitable business
that many Of them have entered upon in
the present year, and member Of bust
ness firm in Hawkinsville viii be estab-
lished in Cincinnati for the purpose Of
handling the produce to be shipped there
from the Ocmulgee region. We can
scarcely take up a Georgia or Florida
journal that does not contain something
about the opening Of new truck farms or
the triumphs Of the old, and the railroad
companies appear to be encouraging
the spirit Of this industry to the
utmost, because they are now sat
isfied that it will increase the
business Of the roads. 1t is
no longer a question Of the sale Of such
produce in the Northern markets. 1t is
now settled that all such goods arriving
there at the proper time and in proper
condition, will bring remunerative prices.
Neither is the business likely to be over
done. The population Of the country will
increase sufficiently 10 keep up the de-
mand, and when it is considered that the
Southern produce does not come into
competition with the Northern, it will be
seen that each section has alternately the
entire population Of the country for its
customers.

Wortb Tbinkiup OF.

We recently alluded to the necessity Of
improving the opportunities that exist for
developing Savannah. Our contemporary,
the Atlanta Constitution, noticing the
suggestions Of the NEWS, truthfully re-
marks:
1.-The truth is Savannah has a great flI-
ture before it if those most nearly interested
are prompt TO seize the opportunities that
present themselves. There is no reason
why, with the increased railway facilities
Of the past few years. that fleets Of vessels
should not load AT Savannah with grain
for the old world. There is no reason why
the cheaplv built and cheaply run rail-
roads Of the South should not make
such rates 10 the gTanaries Of the West
as would give our Georgia seaport de-
cided advantage OyerNew York and Baltk
more, 50 far as the export trade in grain
IS concerned. There IS already one grain
elevator in Savannah; there ought to be a
dozen. ANY serious movement on the
part Of the business interests Of that city
in the direction Of securing a part Of the
advantages Of the vast grain traffic be-
tween the new world and the old, will re-
ceiye the cordial sympathy and support
of all Georgia. The time is ripe for such
a movement, but commercial results are
to be obtained only at the expense Of en-
ergy."
But commerce is but one agent in the
growth Of a great city. New York ranks
first among the manufacturing cities Of
the world, and Baltimore, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis
are noted for their varied industries. Sa-
vannah could ere long with proper effort
become noted for her manufactures as
vrafI as for hpr commerce.

Sounding the Tocsin.


There is no doubt that the New Eng
lander has an immense advantage in the
long time his mills have been established,
in the conservative and substantial man.
agement he has given them, in the con-
slant attention he has paid to repairs and
the introduction of the latest improve
ments. in the wisdom gained by a long
experience, but these advantages should
NOT make him blind to the fact that the
dav of sharp, vigorous and dangerous
comDetition cannot be long postponed.
The Southern mills are not yet producing
the finer qualities of goods, but remem-
bering the history of the last ten years it
is not safe to assume that with the same
machinery that is used in the North they
will not successfully do this within the
next ten years. We do not share the
fears expressed in some quarters, that
New England cotton manufacturers are
doomed, but it is evident they are TO meet
with a sharp competition, and that very
likely to insure their future success their
methods of conducting business viii have
to be changed and new markets for their
products opened.

Tbe Coming Convention.


The returns from all but a few Of the
county primaries have been received ana
the latest reports strengthen waterway

Governor and letters received from DINERS
no. formally committed 70 him show that
tbav win support him when the proper
time comes. The people have spoken, and
the task now rests with the delegates 70
select the candidate
As % the mode d his selection there
can properly BE- no question. The choice
d the twO-thirds OF majority rule was
submitted % the primaries last summer
and the latter accepted and that choice
was reafirmed in convention The gues-
ton not having been resubmitted cannon
properly arise in the convention d Tues
dav. II the claims made by Governor
BOyntOn's opponents are based On
facts, they should have no
difficulty in securing a majority ior one
q his rivals. On the other hand, II, a. Ms
friends claim. he j. the choice Of ma
i0ritv Of the delegates, be should D. the
choiCe az the convention We believe
that the Democracy has willed that ne
shall b. the candidate u the party and
that the convention viii 80 declare on
Tuesday next.
No doubt his opponents. viii strive 70
bring about a different result, but the un-
instructed delegates owe it 70 themselves
70 sink prejudice and view the matter
calmly and judicially. The assaults On
Governor BoyntOn were ill-timed and un-
warranted. His honesty, ability and
LOYALTY 70 his party can
NOT De fairly impeached. The
people, where they have viewed the ques-
ton calmly. have admitted Governor
BovntOn-s fitness for the Office, even
though they pronounced for others. We
| believe that Governor BOyntOn will enter
/ the convention backed by a majority Of
the DELEGATES. but in view Of the tactics
employed against him every un-
! trammeled delegate should make
stand for fair play and
give him his support. But higher than
the question Of who shall be Governor, is
the harmony Of the party, which. in point
/ of fact. lies at the foundation Of the vel
( fare Of our state. II this Is kept in view
I the nominee Of the convention cannot but
I command the hearty and united support
/ q the Democracy Of Georgia.
