The action Of the South Georgia Truck
Growers Convention. which met at
Townsville yesterday, appears to have
been wise and proper. The difference OF
opinion as to rates Of transportation be-
tween the growers and the railroad COM
panies. is one that can only be reconciled
and satisfactory agreement arrived at
by. conference and full and free discus
sion OF all points bearing on the case on
either side. Nothing can be gained, but
much might be lost by stubborDness or
contrariness. The growers and the freight
agents appear to take right view Of the
situation, and il is to be hoped that the
question of rates of transportation on
next years crop will be settled TO the mu-
tual satisfaction of all parties concerned.
So far as melon growing in South Geor-
gia is concerned the fate of the industry
is almost entirely in the hands of the rail-
roads. Most Of the Southern roads have
shown disposition TO give reasonably
low rates on their melons, but they have
been handicapped by the eXorbitant de-
mands of their Northern and Western
connecting lines, that have caused burdens
10 be heaped upon the truck growers
heavier than they were able to bear.
There is scarcely a doubt that the rail-
roads will agree on rates that will induce
the truck growers to continue planting
melons. There is no reason why melons
should not be hauled as cheaply as almost
any bulk freight, and there is every rea-
son why they should be. The growing of
melons is an infant industry that it will
pay the railroads to foster, for, with
a wise system of marketing, its posi-
bjlities are probably far beyond what most
people imagine. 1t does not seem reason
able to suppose that the railroad CON-
panies Will deliberately 'kill the goose
that lays the golden egg" for the growers
will certainly quit planting any consider
able areas in melons unless the rates Of
transportation are very materially re-
| duced.
When the freight question is settled,
which will probably be the case by the
December meeting, other matters will be
for the consideration of the convention
aud the growers individually. 1t is not
only of great Importance that sound ripe
melons should be shipped, but that
they should be shipped in such manner
as TO sustain the least injury on the road.
! Then the marketing is an I'M
portant question, probably the most I'M
portant Of all. Where shall
the melons be shipped to? Who shall
handle themy And how shall thieYing
and fraud be prevented, both on the road
and at the destination Of the consign-
ments. These questions can be settled,
they must be settled, if melon growing
becomes a permanent success, but they
will not be settled without good deal OF
thought, discussion and actual hard work.

The Blaine Libel Again.

The answer Of the Indianapolis Sentinel
Company to the libel suit brought against
it by Mr.. Blaine will attract more atten-
ton than the original story, on account
of its being given to the country through
the medium of the Associated Press.
Under ordinary circumstances the reiter-
alton Of the charges against the Republic
can candidate for the Presidency would
create a profound sensation, but just now
people are disguised with campaign scan
dals. and not prepared to believe them, ex-
cept on the most indisputable evidence.
From all that can be learned about the
circumstances attending Mr.. Blaine's
residence in kentucky, the story of Sc
ductiOn and forced marriage is very
improbable one. Yet there seems to
be no doubt that village gOssips
were busy with the names Of Mr.. and
Ms. Blaine about the time of their mar
riage and removal from the State. Even
if all that has been charged were true no
earthly good can be done in giving the dis
gushing details to the public now.
A very plausible explanation Of the ORR
,in Of this scandal has been given. 1t is
stated that Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine were Sc
cretlv married during their residence in
Kentucky. and that their first child was
born about seven months after the
marriage was made public. If this be
true il nav furnish some clue to or mo-
tive for the defacing Of the tomb of the
child. This deed may have been done by
some friend Of the plaintiff to prevent
A seeming confederation Of the SentinePs
story.
1t is creditable to the country that so
few people take any interest in this or
any other campaign scandal. There IS
a very general disposition to disbelieve
such things when published for the first
time in the heat of a political contest
and when years have passed since
the guilty acts are alleged to have
been committed. So far as this scandal
is concerned. fair-minded people will pre-
fer to believe the testimony of such men
as Beck. aud WattersOn, and other lead
ing citizens OF Kentucky, to the falsity OF
the charges. than to take for true an arti-
Gle sold by some irresponsible Bohemian
to a sensational Newspaper Democrats
are as much inclined to disbelieve the tale
as Republicans.
The law will probably take its course,
for there seems now to be no ground left on
which to settle the case except before a
jury. 1t is to be hoped that justice will
be done fully and impartially, but 1t does
seem that even if the truth of the scandal
should be successfully established, some
penalty should be inflicted on the ghouls
who have published the indecent story to
the world.

A Mighty Powerful Storage Battery.

'EYOu didn't know l was an inventor,

his companions on a Panhandle train.
''Well, | am, though. Have got a big

with 1T for several months, and finally got
careless. No trouble about pOwer-pOwer

The talk about New York being at the
mercy Of a hostile fleet in case OF war
with any European nation is set at rest

Island and shell New York is absurd. Ii

make things lively in the suburbs OF
Brooklyn, but as to doing any damage TO
New York city from such a distance, it is
nonsense. You see a fleet would have TO
lie some distance off the shore on account
of the shoals. Take Her Majesty's ship
Inflexible. There is just one place near
the COnev Island shore where she could
lie far enough in shore to bring her guns
to bear with any effect on Brooklyn. Then
she would be in a cul-de-sac, with dan
gerous shoals all about and the breakers
unpIeasantly near. 1t is preposterous to
suppose that a naval commander would
place his ship in such a position; but if he
did, a shot might possibly be fired so as to

safe and only parts Of Brooklyn would be

HER LOVERS FATAL JEST.
An Engagement Broken in Fun Causes
an Ohio Grips Death

The death yesterday of Miss Alice Nc
Ciban, says a Cadiz, Ohio, special of Sept.
3, discloses a strange and sad affair. The
girl, who was young, intelligent and a
great fayorite, but exceedingly nervous,
died after an illness of thirty-six hours,
during the whole of which time she was
UNCONSCIOUS, three men being required to
hold her at times. Miss Mcclellan was en-
gagged to a young gentleman named
Nash, a resident of the neighbOrhood,
and highly esteemed gentleman.
Saturday evening he called on Miss
Mcclellan and remained some time. When
taking his departure, in jest, he said to
her that he had concluded to sever their
relations, and that there could be nothing
between them but friendship. The girl
was so affected that she went into spasms,
which continued until her death. Every
effort was made to restore her to con-
seriousness, unayailingly. Nash, who was
frantic with grief, was constantly in at
tendance, but his presence had no effect
upon the young lady. 1t is feared that he
will become insane.
