Not Often.

1t is not often that one sees a President
of the United States in this section of the
glorious UniOn-perhaps because they are
all Republicans since the "late unpleas-
antness,'' and the South seems not to be a
place of resort for great men or high dig
nitarIes of that persuasion. How the
reigning accident of the White House
came to be here yesterday, has been eX-
planned by the newspapers on the ground
of 'sOverwOrk," WEAKNESS of the burden
of the great nations welfare piled upon
his solitary shoulders, and "need of
rest" from his arduOus labOrs. A
weary patient, and needing rest, of
course, should not be subjected to the an
nOyance of the public gaze, private re-
ceptiOns or the opportunities of office
seekers. He should not even feel obliged
TO put his head out at a window of his
palace car, when he travels for his health,
to recognize or thank the shirt-sleeve
multitude, who have dropped the plOw-
handles, the hoe and shovel, the claw
hammer and the saw, and rushed to the
depot to gaze upon a live President.
Neither did amy of these things disturb
the quiet Of Mr.. Arthur on his arrival at
Savannah. He was permitted to pursue
the ''even tenor ofhis way without rip
pie of demonstration from the little crowd
who gathered under his car window, only
to get a glimpse of the Presidential side
whiskers, as he toyed with bouquet and
cOnversed in a low tone with the few per-
sons about him.

The Primary Last Night.

The primary last night was remarkably
well attended, and the proceedings were
marked with an interest seldom mani
tested at similar gatherings. Major Bacon
had many friends in Chatham in his con-
test with Governor Stephens. and these
have been active in his behalf
since his entry into the pres
ent canvass. Governor BOyntOn is
comparatively unknown to the people of
Chatham, and the attacks made upon
him by his enemies undoubtedly infiu-
enced many well meaning citizens.
The delegates chosen are uninstructed,
but are known not to favor Governor
BOvnton. but the fact that they were Sc
lected BY an exceedingly slender
majority shows conclusively that
personal preference had more
TO do with the result than the spirit of
prescription, an appeal to which was at
tempted. This was rebuked, and to our
distinguished fellow citizen, General A.
4. LawtOn, and those who sustained him,
this victory of common sense and justice
is due. His calm and eloquent protest
saved Chatham county from going on
record as committed to spirit that should
long since have been buried.

VI. Leon Say, the most distinguished
French economist of the present time, has
lust made a speech at Lyons in favor of
free trade as the true policy for France.
He declared that fresh outlets for CON-

as the protective system is adhered to,
would be of far greater advantage to
France than protection, and advocated an
aggressive free trade agitation through
out the republic. The world moves
everywhere except in New England and

The Truck Farmers and the Rail-
road Commission.

There was a meeting at Albany last
week of the truck farmers flee, Mitchell
and DOugherty counties for the purpose
of organization and cooperation, which
resulted in a permanent association, to
be called the ALBANY Truck Farmers
UniOn," with that sterling farmer, bee
keeper and excellent citizen, H. L. Long,
of Lee county, as President, and Col. Jos.
Armstrong as Secretary. Mr.. H. NJ. Nc
mtOsh, of the Albany NeiCS and AdCer-
tiSer, was also made special Correspond
ing Secretary and Treasurer.
The proceedings were interesting, COW
ering the whole ground of the truck farm
business and starting out right in the
matter of concert of action to secure the
advantages of transportation. On this
subject the following resolutions by RObt.
J. Bacon were, after lengthy discussion,
adopted:
WHEREAS. Truck farming In South
Georgia has been fOstered and encouraged
from its very beginning by the Savannah.
Florida and Western Railway and the
Central Railroad. and that il is to the in
terest of these roads that diversified farm
ing should become general on these lines !;
and
Whereas, 1t is the sentiment of this
meeting, composed of residents and truck
farmers on these two railroads, that the
said roads will do all in their power in
aid of truck farming; therefore, be it
ReSOlUed, That we deprecate any ten
dency on the part of truck farmers to ap-
peal TO the Railroad Commission to fix
rates of transportation of fruits and vege-
tables; but that we prefer for the rail-
roads to make their own rates, satisfied,
as we are, that no injustice will be done
the producer.
ReSOlUed, ID. That we earnestly solicit
all the railroads i'm Georgia to cooperate
with us in our efforts to diversity the pro-
ducts of Georgia, and thereby to increase
the prosperity of our State.
ResOlUed, Sd. That copy of these res0-
lutiOns be sent to the Presidents and Su-
perintendents of the Savannah, Florida
and Western and the Central Railroads.
The adoption of these resolutions indi-
Gates that the truck farmers of Lee,
Mitchell and DOugherty are not favOrably
impressed with the functions of the State
Railroad Commission, and, deprecating
any appeal to that source for the mOdifi-
cation of freight charges, choose to be
left to make their own terms with the
railroads, satisfied that no injustice will
be done the producers.
And this is sound policy. Why should
the railroads do injustice to producers?
What would the railroads do without the
producers? One of the principal aims of
the railroads is to build up, to create,
producers where they are not, in order
that they may themselves grow and pros
per by the industries they set in motion.
Is not the growth of the truck farming
business in the far off sections from the
markets sufficient proof of this? Rail-
road companies are not the people who
kill the goose that lays the golden egg"
