TRUCKMEN DIS0RGANIZED
COOPERATION NECESSARY FOR
THEIR SUCCESS.

The "POst-Appear' Lawsuit-Dedi-
cation of the New Court HOuse-rhe
Penitentiary Physicianship.
ATLANTA, May 19.-I dropped into the
Agricultural Department this morning to
witness the display of fruit and listen to
the discussions of the Pathological Socie-
ty, but there appeared to be another fail
ure like that of last Saturday. Three de-
partment officials, one reporter and three
POmOlOgians were all l saw present.
In my last letter l referred to the lack
of co-Opera ton, hearty and frequent, of
our vegetable and fruit growers. In
union there is strength, ana where every
man "hoes his own row." it is safe TO pre-
dict that many truck farmers and fruit
growers will meet with losses.
Already there has been great tumble
IN prices here for both vegetables and
fruits, some prices having declined one
hall within few days. Local markets
cannot be depended on to keep up Geor-
gia truck farming and fruit growing.
IL is this fact that makes cooperation
and union of action so necessary, that
more distant and larger markets NAV be
reached in the quickest possible time, and
fruits and vegetables be sold promptly and
at remunerative prices. l do not hesitate
to predict heavy losses without such
united action.
Another great danger has already cast
its blighting shadow over some truck
farms-the absence OF any proper pro-
vision for fun supply of barrels, boxes
and crates for shipping fruit and vegeta-
bles. The wise trucker and fruit grower
never gets caught in this trap, as barrels.
crates and boxes can be gathered up and
held in reserve long before they are
needed.
MINOR TOPICS.
Judge Willis, of the ChattahOochee Cir
cult, has announced that a gambler can
be convicted of Vagrancy, no matter how
much money he may have, under the laws
OF Georgia. If this be true, our Chief of
Police can "rOpe in'' quite number of
rich gamblers in Atlanta, who have hith-
erto escaped on account of their money
and social standing.
The JerSeynedR, of MOrristOWn, n. j., of
May 4th, contains a very handsome and
well merited tribute to the late Major JAS
w. Cuyler, u. ). A., from Gen. III. G.,
wright, and his associate engineer Off
GERS. Georgia has a share in the fame of
Major Cuyler, and she will be glad to
know that his distinguished comrades
speak of him as ''a faithful soldier, cour-
teOus gentleman, whose loss will be deem
whom he had endeared himself by his no.
bic and manly qualities" In official sta
tion he ''exhibitedOind skill, intelli-
gence and the strictest integrity.' Deep
sympathy is expressed for Gen. John NJ.
Cuyler, U. S. A., the venerable brother of
the deceased.
Col. Luther j. Glenn, senior counsel for
the Augusta Paper Mill, proposes to carry
the POSt-AppedL case to the Supreme

important to be surrendered to Judge
HammOnd's decision. A Judge of the
United States Court, in Utah. some time
ago, held that a newspaper publisher was
manufacturer in the stricteSt sense, and
yet other jjurists differ with him. If the
Supreme Court affirms Judge Hammond's
decision the paper mills and type found
rles Will be more cautious in their future
transactions with newspaper publishers.
Our new and imposing court house is
to be dedicated in formal manner on
Monday next, and Rev. DIR. III. II. Tucker,
ID. D., will deliver an address on the
proper ventilation of public buildings.
His remarks will be thrown away on our
court house, as it is nearly ali ventiIa-
ton. never saw such waste of space
to no purpose i'll any other public build
ing in the country. There is neither pro-
portion nor economy in the plan.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Mrs. DR.. Ridley, of this city, daughter
of the late Senator Hill, was somewhat
injured yesterday in jumping from her
carriage while the horses were running
away.
Gov. Mcdaniel is looking after the ne
cessaIy repairs at the Executive Man.
sion, and it is not probable that his family
will return until the house is ready for
them. The repairs now being made were
much needed.
Gov. BOyntOn and his bride, who is one
of the pleasantest little women i'm the
world, are now at Griffin, but Will ioin
the great Northwestern excursion from
Atlanta the first week in June.
L noticed paragraph going the rounds
OF the press that Lieut.. George S. Hoyle,
of the First Cavalry, a native of Georgia,
is to deliver the address before the gradu-
ating class of 1888 at West Point Military
Academy, This is grave error, as Lieu |
tenant Hoyle graduated i'll 1873, and it is
the usual ''ten years after reunion" of that |
class, at West Point, at which he is to de- |
liver an address, his old classmates hay- |
ing selected him for that pleasant duty.
There is one thing about Georgia bows |
and girls who go to other States to COM |
plete their education that atones for their |
failure to patrOniZe home institutions
they generally win their share of honOrs,
and thereby give our State a brighter |
name abroad. Young Mayson, of this |
city, who won hOnOrS at our Boys High !
School and then at Emory College, now |
represents Vanderbilt University in a |
grand inter-cOllege debate in that city, l |
know of no young man in Georgia who |
better deserves the hOnOrs that have come |
to this gifted Atlanta hoy.
PHYSICIAN OF THE PENITENTIARY.
The presence here of DIR. Hogan, of |
Athens, has given rise to the rum0r that |
Gov. Mcdaniel is to appoint him to the |
position now occupied bY DIR. Thomas |
Raines, it being understood that the latter |
official will retire from office in a short !
time.
GOV. Mcdaniel keeps his own counsel. |
and no man is authorized to suggest what |
his course will be in the matter. The |
friends of DR.. Allfriend,. of Albany, are
pressing him for the place, so that Dr. |
Hogan and DIR: Allfriend are just now the |
candidates, in the matter of
1utsiae pressure.
Gov, Stephens promised him the place
last winter, and that he has been at con-
loss of practice because of the
rumOr that he would be so appointed, and
from Albany to Atlanta to live,
There is nothing on record, think, to |
show that Governor Stephens ever gave
any such qncQRdtti8adI promise, 1t was
lnderst0Od that in the event DIR. Raines
vacated the office, Governor Stephens
would make DIR. Allfriend his successor.
But no such event occurred, and conse-
luently there was no chance to appoint
our hOnOred and lifelong friend.
1t is safe to assert that in the event OF
'he resignation Of Pr, Raines, or his non-
in ONCE, Governor Stephens
would have conferred the appointment of
physician of the penitentiary on DR.. All.
