A Bad Practice Among Boya that Ought
TO be stopped.

The practice of ''cutting behind'' the
street cars on the Abercorn line is becoI1-
ing Of such large proportions that it is
time something was done TO abate the
nuisance, 1t seems that the American,
small boy finds no better sport than TO,
jump on the rear platform Of tdencSr
whflethe driver is amusing himself beat,
ing themule from Texas. endeavoring to
persuade him to get out of the way of the
car, and there are times when the young
American is In imminent danger Of being
thrown from the car and getting off
luckily with broken arm or leg, although
his meek is in as much danger.
1t would no doubt be a good plan for
our police to capture one OF these vaga-
bonds and carry him to the barracks, and
require hrs parents to pay about 50 for
the free (p) ride enjoyed by their young
hopeful, and then we predict that the
male parent would do a little "cutting
behind" on his own account, and after
our guardians OF the peace had repeated
the operation (parent ditto) there win be
no more "cutting behind' either enjoyed
or needed. But there is one act against
which we want to enter the strongest
protest, and that is that the driver shall
assault the erring youth as l saw it done
to-day.
Aoercorn car No. left the post office
at 2:20 p. m. with a fair passenger list,
and when near Jones street negro boy
about Is years old and a small white boy
10 years Old undertook to "cut behind"
and being seen by the driver, were about
to jump of the car when the driver, who
would be we'll adapted for his work if
cruelty were the only requisite, darted
through the car, whip in hand, aud en-
deavored to strike the ''big negro" fail
ing in which he actually left his
car and chased the small IS
year old white lad upon the side
walk for some distance and struck him
a severe blow with his raw hide, and, as
though he had done brave act and
c0mmendable thing, boarded his car and
actually winked to one of his friends as
much as to say: "Did l not do that
nIeelyT' There was scarcely a passen-
ger who did not feel thoroughly aroused
by the assault, and some of them ex-
pressed themselves Ia unqualified terms.
Let the nuisance af ''eutting behind'' be
stopped, and at once, but DO not submit
our boys to the attacks Of every driver
who chooses to use his cowhide whip
upon them. VERITAs.

THE rLoRIsrs AND LENT
The Great Fasting season Does NOT
spoil the Flower Trade.

/ The Lenten season gives the florists a
rest that they DO not want. Had the
great fast come in with the ground hog
the hower-growers would rather have
welcomed il than otherwise, for most
kinds Of flowers have been scarce and
high-prlced during the past six or eight
weeks. whereas now they are becoming
more abundant every week.
In spite oil Lent the flower trade is by
no means dead. There are no more elab-
crate parties or grand balls, but great
many flowers are still used at quiet even
ing sOcials and weddinge-there are pe0-
pie who marry in Lent-and funeral
flowers. OF course, are always
ia order. Besides the demand
for flowers for charitable purposes
goes on in Lent just the same as az other
times. The florists have what they call
"Lenten baskets so called probably be-
cause they are filled in Lent. for any and
every kind Of flowers are used in them.
Society appears to have adopted this
sensible fashion OF sending baskets Of
flowers instead of bouquets az tokens Of
friendship. A bouquet has little TO COM
mend it. About the only thing Is its
adaptability for use ia the bali room, and
other places where flowers are carried in
the hand. The flowers in it do not keep
well, for usually they cannot be revived
with water, while the same flowers ar
ranged in a basket would look better, last
longer, ard give more sati9iaction. or
course, the taste OF the recipient should
be consulted, and many ladies prefer to
have the flowers and smilaX sent to them
loose that they may arrange them for
themselves.
There is little new to note in the plant
line. The popular hyacinth is selling at
the same price 1t has brought all along.
Fine roses are now abundant and cheap,
and other flowers and plants are becoming
more plentiful every day.
The organization Of the proposed floral
association, which will probably be
effected next week. will doubtless give an
Impetus to Horticulture in Savannah and
will greatly develop the interest that is
just now taken in that interesting study.

BAD STOCK TO HOLD.
Stockholders In the National Express
and transportation Company Sued.

Stockholders In the National Express
and transportation Company Sued.
John Glenn, trustee OF the old National
Express And Transportation Company Of
Richmond, Va, was the plaintiff In an
action brought in the Superior Court yes
terday against two OF Chatham county's
citizens:
Several years ago W. p. Carmichael and
Maj. II. T. Bolts took stock in the above
named company. Mr.. Carmichael had 10
shares and Maj. Bolts so at 800 a share.
At one time Gen. Jos. r. Johnston was
President of the company. In 1886 the
affairs OF the concern were transferred to
John Blair HOge, G. Oliver o. DOnnell, and
John j. Kelly. Five years ago the pres
ent trustee was appointed by the Chan
Gerry Court of Richmond, Va. A decree
was passed at the time ordering the stock
holders to pay 30per cent. of the face value
OF the shares 10 meet expenses and settle
old liabilities. IL was asserted that 80
Ter cent. Of the stock has never been paid.
The suit against Mr.. Carmichael Is for
$500 and the one against Maj, Bolts is for
81 800.
Messrs. Van Epps, Calhoun and King,
of Atlanta, represent the PLAINTIFF, and
Capt. George A. Mercer and Messrs. Gar
rard q Meldrim the defendants.
The case was argued before the court,
and the argument tasted all day on a mo-
tion to strike out certain pleas. When
court adjourned Judge Adams took the
papers and announced that he would re-
serve his decision until Monday next.
