RAIL AND ORossTIE.

Inc watermelon growers of Southern
georgia mad a representative before the
rate committee of the Southern Railway
and steamship Association this week ask
ing that change be made in the freight
schedules bearing upon their products in
time to be in operation next season.
Inc watermelon growers want the
southern roads to require that the freight
on watermelons be paid in advance or
when the shipment is made, and not
wait until the melons have been hauled to
certain points depending on the sale Of
the fruit TO reimburse them for freight
charges.
1t seems that there has been custom
among the roads in the past to haul the
melons without requiring the freight to
be prepaid. 1t sometimes happens that
the roads never collect their freight, as
the market might be cholled with an over
production Of melons and the shipments
would have to go at such prices as would
not make good the freight charges.
The fertilizer men at Norfolk, Charles
ton and elsewhere We're before the rate
cOmittee of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association in Atlanta this
week, and We're given a hearing for a
general reduction of fertilizer rates. The
question came up before the last meet
ing of the committee, but in the rush Of
business it was allowed to hang over. The
general claim of the fertilizer men is that
the roads ought to make a general reduc-
ton on fertilizer charges for the forth
coming season by reason OF the tact that
the low price of cotton will materially
cripple the fertilizer trade ana put the
farmer in a condition of inability to pay
the rates on such commodities as hereto
fore charged.
