stringency of the times
Valdosta Times ValdOsta growers re
Ceived good returns for the first cars of
melons, but prices have declined rapidly
withinlthe past few days, and.there is not
apt to be much in the business for the
balance of the season. The railroads and
the Ocean Steamship Company are now
demanding the prepayment of freight on
all shipments. The railroads usually en-
force this rule toward the end of the
season, but rarely 50 early as now, and
the steamships have never before seen fit
to do so. Commission men are advising
growers not to ship by steamer, as the
melons do not have proper ventilation,
and usually reach market in more or
less damaged condition A few Valdosta
growers have lost shipments on this ac-
count. One steamer which reached New
York few days ago had about fifteen
carloads which were so badly damaged
the health officers forbade their being I'M
loaded in the city Messrs. Paine and
Smith had two. carloads on this steamer,
one of which was damaged, and the other
was in fair condition For the first they
received only S6l and for the latter S160.
ValdOsta Times: The commission men
of New York and Baltimore, who recently
received the shipments of windfal pears
from South Georgia write back that if
any more such fruit were delivered, the

lot and dump it into the hungry waters
of the harbor. One prominent house ad
vises that il such supply of pears be
sent again, IL would ruin the market for
all future time But they should not
blame the poor farmer for trying to real
ize a little something from the product Of
the trees he had been anticipating would
remunerate him so handsomely, until the
cyclone came along The best returns for
Is
a a barrel, later returns were $3.50 and
$l.75, while others did not pay the freight.
There are ways of packing such fruit.
Some gathered them wet and covered
with sand. When opened at the place of
consignment this is a very black skinned
pear. The shrewd grower waits until the
pear is dry, carefully rubs of the sand
and draws the prize in the market, if good
prices prevail, If the orchards have not
been thrashed bare the yield this year
ought TO be the larger and better as to
quality.
Augusta Herald: Eastern merchants
are fortifying themselves or endeavoring
to do 50 else they are in conjunction in
an'endeavor TO brighten southern pur-
chasers in their markets. Merchants in
Augusta are being sold goods by them
with the provision that the amount pur-
chased shall be payable in gold. On bills
now coming to the city are written or
printed, in prominent manner, "this bill
is payable in gold" or this bill is paya-
BILE in gold or in its equivalent"
1t is understood that some New York
merchants will not sell goods unless upon
which they believe to be q binding con-
tract that the bills will be paid in gold
They say they know that silver is a
legal tender and know that they must ac-
cept it for debt. But they want no silver,
and if they must accept silver for the
goods, at this iuncture of financial affairs
of the country, they prefer to keep their
goods. They say that when they import
goods from foreign countries the foreign
ers will not take the silver, but require
gold. So the fasteners insist on an
agreement from customers to pay bills in
gold if gold is demanded. However, at
present eastern merchants will accept
New York exchange purchased with sill
yer. This money business is getting to be
a terribly muddled affair.
Douglasville New South: The Glover
murder case will not down ut the bidding
of any one. New parties are being
brought into it. Tuesday even
ing Sheriff Ward went to
Salt Springs and arrested Fannie Deav-
ers, a negro woman, the wife of Jack
beavers, who is now confined in Douglas
county lall, as an accessory TO the murder
of w X Glover on the night of May /,
1893, on the outskirts of Lithia Springs.
1t will be remembered at one time six cit
liens of that place We're tried for the muir
der on warrants sworn out by the muir
dered mans brothers, on what they said
was strong evidence, but at the com
initial trial there was not enough
testimony introduced to bind
them over and they were turned loose.
However, several indictments were found
against the parties charged with the muir
der for illegal sale of whisky But Moody
was sent to the changing for three years.
Judge James was fined $500, Jack Smith
left the county, but has since returned
and is now under bond, and the others are
safe beyond the reach of the law. At the
time of the arrest of the parties it was
said to be spite work on the part of the
Glover boys, and in the committal trial
and since, their actions have borne this
out. But the case has taken u new turn,
and on last Tuesday evening the negro
woman was placed under arrest as an &C
complice
