A Truck Farmers Suggestion.
To the Truck and Fruit GrotOers of the
First Con nreSsiOnnL District

To the Truck and Fruit GrotCers of the
First Congressional District:
The industries you pursue are of great
Importance aud value. Your interests are
greatly involved in having proper regard
paid to the transportation lines from Sayan-
nah to the great Eastern cities. The value
of your produce supports and makes COM
Portable your families, pays large amount
to the worklngmen and increases the wealth
and business prosperity Of this section of
the State. You cannot ship your
goods SO cheaply i'll any other way as by
our fest steamers plying between this port
and Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
and Boston. They go not only at less cost
but in better order than by any other way
You are now hampered-you cannot get off
all your freight as you need to-because of
the lack OF attention to the Improvement of
our harbor. The ships cannot load to their
full capacity, owing to the shoals,
and reject the transportation of the
fruits of your Industry on this account.
and sticking on the shoals ore delayed,
causing damage to freight, and partial
or total loss This Is a serious, and in many
cases, q ruinous loss. Delay or rejection of
your freight is something which stares us
in the face. This is wrong and ought not
to he. While many interests are impaired
by this state of things--none so serious as
ours. We are part Of the people, and our
welfare should be considered. If we have
either an unfaithful or inefficient steward of
our interests, we should dismiss
him and try another. The beggarly appro-
priation for the Savannah river and harbor
Is savage thrust at our vital interests
Who is responsible for this if our immediate
representative is notl When our former
representative, the lamented Black, was
stricken with paralysis and unable from
Providential causes to rise from his bed,
from his chamber of sickness he succeeded
in getting for this work $500, 900 by the aid
of his colleagues from the State.
Mr.. Norwood, in perfectly health
since 1865, secures about one-fourth of the
amount secured by the Charleston repre-
sentative, and little more than one-third
OF what Mobiles representative secured Tor
his port For weeks past he has not been
in his seat, and it has been left to Senator
Brown to speak for our port and our inter
est, while Mr.. Norwood is drawing
the salary CT present Congress
man and negiecting his duties
to secure the honors and emoluInents of
another term, TO the detriment Of his con-
stituents. Why should we not try a prac-
tical, commou-Sense business man, who will
stay at his post of duty and guard and
work for our INTEREST," Mr.. Norwood, 70
far as this matter is concerned, is failure.
Let us try William w. Gordon, who, Hope
and believe, will be nominated, elected and
prove himself worthy of our choice 10y look
ing after the welfare Of our class of the
workers Of the district.
