Tho Melon Growers

y called meeting OF the Fruit ann
Melon Growers Association was held in
Aiken on Monday week. In the alb,
sence of the President j. b. Black. and
at the request of Vice-President j. ID.
Copeland, Captain &. w. Croft presid-
ed. MIR. f. Nj. Mixson, of Blackville,
the Secretary of the Association, read
tne call for the meeting, after which
the following delegates were enrolled:
and +. r. Hayes, Bamberg; j. G.. Bayn-
ham, Trenton; j. b. Bonnett, Windsor:
L. q. McCreary, Whits Pond; l.. Brad
well, w. NJ. Jordan, M. II. IIolley, Sr.
and A. s. Courtney, Aiken.
The Chair stated that the object of
the meeting was to get the Association
to cooperate with =. II. Loud, Jr., and
his attorneys in the suit brought before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against railroad lines running east for
oVercharging and discriminating
against melon shippers. and also to
transact any other business that might
come up before the Association.
considerable discussion took place in
reference, to the exorbitant rates
charged by the roads running east for
the transportation of melons. In the
discussion we cleaned the following:
Last year the roads charged $1O392 for
car load of melons weighing 24,OOO
pounds to New York, and additional
charges were made for every pound
over and above that number.
These charges were considered eX-
cessive, being within fraction of II
mills per mile. short measurement. The
Georgia Association has secured rate
of mills per mile on all roads running
west. and it was the opinion of the
melon men at this meeting that mills
would be fair charge for the roaus
running East, md that the minimum
carload should be fixed at 32 600 pounds.
Fixed at these figures, the cost of a car
load Of melons to New Hork-a dis
tance of about 500 miles-would be
$76 80 The following resolutions were
adopted.
Resolved, That the Secretary ask of
the initial, and il need be, connecting
railway lines for tariff Of rates for the
coming season on melons.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the present rates are eX-
cessive and reduction Of them is re-
Quested.
Resolved. That the information de-
rived as to rates be submitted to the
Executive Committee, and they are re
quested at their discretion to commu.
nicate or have o conference with the
railway authorities upon the matter.
Resolved, That through bills of laden
be issued from starting points, and that
no prepayment Of freight be required
from shipper at connections with other
lines, as in case of the Blackyille, AL.
ston 81 Newberry and Barn well roads
as Of last season.
A resolution was also adopted pied
ing the moral support of the Associa
tion to Mr.. l.. II. Loud, Jr., in his fight
for reduction In the freight rate on
melons and fruit. The meeting then
adjourned. The above account of the
meeting we clip from the Aiken Jour-
nal and Review.

did great damage. The place is remote

the calamity. The fall of water was
something terrific, and small creek be-
came a raging river, 100 yards wide.
The stOrehOuse, residence and outbuild-
ings Oh j.. N. King were swept away,
the flood coming so quickly he did not
even have time to close his store doors.
Ihe po@totllce was kept in his store,
and everything was lost. An iron safe
weighing 1900 pounds was carried one
fourth of mile by the force o. the
water. a number of other houses were
carried away, and all the crops along the
creek bottom lands were destroyed.
The water came down so fast that the
people barely had time to flee to the
ridge, and IL this had not been near.
there would have been serious loss of
life. Considerable stock was drowned,
but no life was lost so far as reported,
The property damage will amount to a
large sum.

Letters to tho wife of tho Man Who Kill
ed Him.
AUGUSTA, Ca, June 11.-Another
terrible tragedy has been added to War
Magrath, prominent merchant there.
was shot and instantly killed by MIR. A.
Y. Howell. who recently removed from
WarrentOn to Atlanta.
Howell fired five shots at Magrath.
four of which took effect in the latter's
head and body.
The :wo men were standing in the
postotlice ut Warrenton, and when
Howell fired the fatal shots were not
more than four feet apart. NIagrath
fell to the floor and died in a few min
utes in great pain. He spoke only a
few words after being shot. One of
these was an invocation to God to have
mercy on his soul, and to friend who
cautioned him to keep still, he SAID: II
will be still in few moments"
There was only one witness to the
shooting. That was Judge III. III. Fitz-
patrick, the postmaster at Warrenton
who was lilling Outa money order blank
for Magrath at the time.
1t is stated that Howell went into the
postoffice, and seeing Magrath, said :
Capt. Magrath, you have been writing
letters to my WIFE," With this, Howell
drew his pistol and began firing at Ma
grath, who offered no resistance.
There are sensational features con
nected with the case, and place Magrath
IN the attitude OF writing love letters
to Howell's wife.

family of four children. and came to
Warrenton from Charleston, S. c. four
years ago.
llowelPS wife is the daughter Of !. w.
Delieaugrine, an ext x-CharleStonian, who
has been residing in Warrenton several
years. She and Howell were married
about two months ago.
1t is reported that Magrath wrote
her several notes before her marriage,
making improper advances, one of
which fell into her fathers hands. This
led to an alteration, in which Ma
grath'S life was threatened.
Inc matter dropped, however, and
nothing more was heard until last Tues
day, when Mr. Howell came to Warren
ton. Then it was learned that he had
taken letter from the postonice at At
!anta addressed to his wife and contain
ing eight pages. The letter had no
name signed to it, but was postmarked
from Warrenton, and mentioned an ex-
press package which the writer had for
warded to Mrs. Howell. 1t was claim
ed to be Magrath's handwriting.
Howell demanded an explanation of
his wife, but sheprotested her innocence
and gave her husband to understand
that she had long been the victim of
such prosecutions at the hands of Ma
grath. This is what brought about the
shooting.
Howell was brought to Augusta to-
night and committed to Jail to await the
action OF the Warren County grand
jury.
The coroner's jury which sat in in
quest on Magrath's body, refused tos say
whether the killing was justiliable hom-
icide or murder.
Warrenton is greatly excited over the
affair, as Capt. Magrath has many
strong friends among the citizens.
Howell is carriage builder by trade,
and his wife is nothing more than a
child.
Magrath's relatives at Charleston
have been telegraphed tor, and will
reach Warrenton tomorro H.-The
State.

The weather and the Crops.

D6s
The weekly weather and crop bulletin
of the Sonth Carolina weather service, in
co operation with the United States Sig
nal Service, for the week ending Satur.
day is as follows and is not very encour-
aging to farmers:
The rainfall for the past week has been
above the normal and generally beneti-
clal to all crops. The temperature has
been about the average and has fastened
the growth of all crops, whilst the sun
shine has been below the average and
has been injurious to most Of the crops.
Rain has fallen more or less every day
for the past week, and little or no work
has been performed on most of the farms
between the constant showers. The rain
that brought up the cotton brought up
the grass and have continued, with but
slight intermission, to the present time;
so that the crops are being injured by
grass, and ii there be no cessation Of
rain for the next DAY or two the crops
will be badly injured. The corn crop
has greatly improved and an average
yield may be looked for. Many sections
OF the State have been visited by the de-
structiVe hail storms, and great injury
done to the growing crops.
Some farmers have been compelled to
plow up and replant their cotton. Upon
the whole the outlook for the cotton
crop is very discouraging and farmers
are becoming respondent.
