The New Road Bill,

A bill has been introduced in the legisla-
ture which seeks to make some very i'm
portant changes in the public Dad system,
as it now exists. This bill provides first
of all, that the grant jury of each county
in the state at its first meeting after the
passage of the act, shall elect a board of
five commissioners, to be known as road
commissioners whose term of service shall
be for four years. This board is required to
elect at its first meeting a Superintendent
of roads, whose salary shall be fixed by
the board. This officer is charged with the
responsibility of keeping up the roads in
'he county, subject however, to the gen
eral supervision of the board. Another
important feature of the bill is that it eX-
empts no one from road duty except min
isters Of the gospel, and even these are not
exempt unless they shall actually be in
charge of at least one church. In the be-
ginning of the year the Superintendent is
required to make list Of every person in
'he county who is subject to road duty,
and at the same time the board assesses the
number of days that each person shall
work. The bill provides, however, that
any person subject to road duty may be
discharged from the performance of said
duty upon the payment of fifty cents into
the treasury for each day assessed. The
bill constitutes the board of commissioners
a court for the trial of all infractons and
violations Of its provisions, and makes the
Superintendent the arresting officer. The
bill further provides that the board of COM
| missioners shall have power to demand
and work upon this public roads of the
county all persons convicted Of any offense
below a felony.

Death OF Martin j. Crawford

After a protracted illness with
typhoid fever, Judge Martin J.
Crawford died at his home in
Columbus, Ga, on last Sunday
evening. No man in South West
Georgia was better known to the
people of this section than the
deceased He was universally
popular with all classes, and with
many favorite. His death will
cause deep, and genuine sorrow
throughout the entire section.
Judge Crawford had played very
distinguished part in, the politics
of Georgia for many years. He
was serving his second term in the
Federal Congress when the late
war broke out, and on his return
home elected to a seat in the Con-
federate Congress, which position
he filed with great fidelity to his
state. At the time of his demise
he was associate justice on the Su-
preme bench Of the state and had
made wise and efficient counsel

The Melon Business.

1t now begins to look as if the
watermelon market in the Northwest
hal cempletely collapsed. The prin
cipal shipping points became over
stocked several days ago, and in
many instances shippers have not
been able to get cost of transporta-
ton out of melons shipped since that
tina When it is remembered, how
evsr, that $50 to 200 cars, loaded with
this delicious Georgia truck have
been pouring into these markets,
daily, for the past two or three
weeks, AND that the commission men
have been kept confined at these
c,atres without proper time to de-
velop the markets in smaller interior
towns and cities, it is not matter of
much wonder that these larger cities
dill become over-stocked Again, in
many instances the class of melons
that have been shipped for the past
week or two has been of the most
Indifferent stock possible,-niany of
the so-called "nubbins' not weighing
more than ten or twelve pounds, and,
badly disfgured by sun-burn at that.
The Journal has insisted all the
while that nothing bat good stock
should be shipped, and had the water
melon men all over this country
needed our advice, We apprehend
that the market would not have been
80 easily broken. But our people
must be taught by experience, and,
then, they will be prepared to act
intelligently in these matters. Al
ready, however, our melon men have
been taught this very important
lesson, to-wit that if they succeed
in m liking money on this crop they
must enter the markets early and
ship nothing but the best of stock;
bit, unfortunately, mlny of them
did not learn this very valuable
lesson uu5il they had sacrificed profits
already gained upon their more early
shipments. South West Georgia
should be able to get mo market
from two 10 three weeks earliersathaD
Middle Georgia, and thus push the
first crop off without material COM
petition. The railroads have done
their duty in transporting the crop;
but there seems to have been lack
Of system upon the part of the com
mission merchants in the large CEN
tres. The facilities for distributing
the crop seems to have been very
poorly worked up, and this, no doubt,
grew out of the inexprerience of the
mon engaged in the business, as well
rs the fact that it requires time to
develop demand for this southern
luxury in sections where, hitherto, it
had been unknown.

Branch Colleges.

IN another column, we publish this
week, very sound and readable ar
ticle from the Atlanta Contitution
upon the subject of the State Uni
versity and its 'branch colleges" >
We take it to be a plain statement of
facts as they really exist, and, as
such, should be looked into by the
legislature with the utmost scrutiny.
1t is very evident that the State Uni
versity is being badly crippled by the
load it is having to carry in the way
of these ''branch colleges and, in
our judgement, the Georgia Legisla-
ture should not hesitate to lop them
off. If, instead of distributing the
fund TO a half dozen or more of these
so-called colleges, it were concentla-
ted and applied to the University,
Georgia might have a college of
which she could justly feel proud
but. as it is, it is struggle with the
University all the while to keep alive
Not only this, but we have never
been able to see the justice in sup
porting and maintaining schools in
one town OF section at the expense
of another. For instance, Cuthbert
has a school that is in the main
supported by appropriations made by
the State-the people right here in
Dawson and Terrell county being
taxed to aid in the maintenance of
the school-and, yet, every dollar
that is paid out by our citizens for
the support of this school is pulling
down our own schools right here at
home. Why should Dawson be taxed
to support the schools of Cuthbert,
Townsville, Milledgeville:and those
of other towns when she has her
own schools to keep up? Is there
any sort of justice II it? We are
glad this question has been sprung,
and we hope the Legislature will not
hesitate to do its duty. Let these
several "branch colleges" be Topped
off and then the fund will be suffi-
clent to make our University pride
and an ornament to the State. We
believe that these schools should be
placed upon their own merits, just
as the schools of other towns, and
when this is done there will be no
cause of diSsension. And what is
more, while these schools are regard
ed and called auxiliaries to the Uni
versity, we exceedingly doubt wheth-
er they contribute any more to the
numerical strength of the University
than other schools in other towns
Certainly, the effect of these schools
is to weaken and cripple the Univer-
sity financially, and SO long as this is
the case the University may not
hope to prosper as it should do.

The Telegraph Operators and
the Great Strike.

On Thursday of last week, precise
ly as the old clock in the capitoi at
Washington indicated the hour of u
NJ, the telegraph operators all over
this country, including Canada as
well, came to strike. In other
words, by previously arranged con-
cert OF action, they ceased to work,
all at once, at the same hour. The
strike is not confined to a few of the
larger cities, or one or two states,
but it is general all over the whole
country, extending from Canada to
the Gulf and from ocean to ocean.
1t scarcely has parallel in poinS of
magnitude in all tho
history of the country. The strike
still continues, and when it will be
broken is by no means known. Il is
the biggist thing of tho age, and
Is calculated to do much mischief to
the commercial relations of the coun-
try if it should much longer CON
tinue. The strike originated in a
demand upon the part of the opera
tors for higher wages, the telegraph
companies refusing to comply. With
the comparatively few operators who
refused to join the strikers, and such
other help as couldibe procured, the
telegraph companies are managing
to make some sort of show in the
way OF. business in the iarger,oities
but many of the smaller Offices are
entirely closed up for the. want Of
operators.
