TRANSPORTATION DISCUSSED.
The Truck Growers Find Difficulty in
Making Suitable Arrangements.

Making Suitable Arrangements
The May meeting of the Truck Grow
ers' Association Of Chatham County was
held at the court house yesterday.
President Ryals requested First Vice
President c. f. G. Fell to preside. Mr..
J. T. Shuptrine, delegate to the late con-
ference with the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad to inspect their facilities
at Jersey City for handling fretghts en-
trusted to their care, who was expected
to make his formal report, was not pres
ent and his report viii be made at the
next meeting.
The secretary read several communion
tons from the commission merchants OF
New York, all of which discouraged the
shipment Of vegetables and fruits by the
Pennsylvania railroad, which delivers its
freight at Jersey City.
Nlessrs. a. r. Fawcett, George w. Par
ish, Henry Blum and Ed j. Thomas were
elected mem bers of the association.
Maj c. NJ. Ryals addressed the asso-
citation upon the subject of transporta-
ton. He said that out Of 5000 crates of
cabbage he had shipped, 1000 had gone
by steamer and 900 by rail; $500 out of
the 900 by steamer had been reported in
bad order, while the 200 by rail- which
were several days longer in transit, were
all reported in good order. He thought
of them on the steamers, as at this season
of the year when the weather is mild and
there is comparatively little moisture in
the vegetables, they ought to go IN good
order.
He had one complaint, however, to
make against the Central railroad for the
unnecessary delay of car of cabbage be-
tween here and Atlanta, which was con-
signed to the northwest.
On motion Of Or. A. Oemler, the presi-
dent appointed a committee of three, con
sisting Of Messrs. Oemler G. G. Beebe
and NJ l.. Exley to wait upon the agents
of the several steamship and railroad
companies to request the careful hand
ling and storing and prompt forwarding
OF all truck entrusted TO their care. The
subject of devising plan for better roads
for Chatham county will be discussed at
the next meeting.
DIR. A Oemler, inspector of fertilizers
for four years past, was asked to deliver
an address on fertilizers, and will do so
s. the next Meeting.
The meeting adjourned to meet on the
first Thursday in June.
In speaking of the condition of the
crops Mr.. NJ l.. Exley said last night
that the vegetables are all beginning to
feel the dry weather, and if there is not
rain soon all classes of truck will fall very
much short. The long dry spell following
the cold snap has made it
rather bad season for truck.
The bean crop is very short and is
needing rain badly. Peas are about
all gone and corn is being planted rapidly.
Potatoes promise to be the best crop of
the season, and good many of them are
being shipped every day. Cucumbers,
like beans, are suffering for want of rain.
The section around Norfolk it is said had
much later frosts than were experienced
in this section and the chances are the
crops there will be far enough behind to
put everything in this section into market
ahead of them.

to make no changes in the programme.

THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER.

joys and Sorrows.

a new JOSH Billings TO AlluSLIdJe MS
joys and Sorrows.
Savannah has developed a Josh Billings
as characteristic as the original Josh.
The lamented Henry Shaw was a bust
ness man, whose writings and criticisms
formed part of the current comic itera-
ture of his day. The new Josh is Sa-
vaunah business man, whose name is
Prof B. A. Jates, G. f. His
prospectus announces that he is from
parts unknown but not far off, and that
he is making his fOrty-ffth annual fare
well tour as a lecturer on THE Joys and
Sorrows of an Amatoor Photographer
IL is not a difficult matter to surmise
that the lecturer is Mr. j. A. Bates, one
of Savannah's best known business men.
In announcing the lecture Prof. Jates
says:

STUCK A KNIFE IN HIS SIDE
John Mitchell Fatally Stabbed By an
Assassin.

The Wounded Man Found on the Door
Step of Colored Physicians House.
Thomas Moulton Believed to Be His
Assailant-The Police on the AssRs-
sims Track.
John Mitchell, colored, received a fatal
stab at the hands of Thomas Moulton, also
colored, in Yamacraw last night. Accord
ing TO Mitchen's story the stabbing was
entirely unprovoked. Moulton escaped
Immediately after the cutting and has
not been seen since. He will probably
stand charged with murder when ar
rested, as Mitchell is not expected to live
the day out.
When DR.. c. McKane, a colored physi-
clan at Liberty and Montgomery streets,
started to enter his house at $3.50 o'clock
last night he found Mitchell sitting on
the doorstep bleeding profusely from
wound in the stomach. He was taken
inside and his wound examined.
THE WOUNDED MANS STORY.
Mitchell was too badly Frustrated to
talk much. He said that he was coming
down Guerard street lane about 8 o'clock
on his way to DR.. McKane's Office to have
an aching tooth attended to. There was
a woman with him, he said, and Thomas
Moulton came up behind him, and with
out giving him any chance to defend him
self, plunged knife into his side, He
claimed not to know why Moulton at
tackled him.
AS soon as Dr. McKane examined
Mitchell's wound he saw there was but
little hope for him. The wound was a
deep knife stab in the left side of the
stomach, under the ribs just below the
heart. Had the wound been just a little
higher up the story would have ended at
once. As it is it is only a matter Of few
hours with Mitchell.
PENETRATED TIE STOMACH.
The wound bled freely and DR.. McKane
found the intestines slightly protruding
and small portions of food eXuding, show
ing that the stab had penetrated the
stomach. lie concluded that the best
thing to do was send the man to the hos
pital at once, and accordingly notified
the police to send the ambulance. Mitch
Gil NOuuu was OdHudBeu up anu nc was
sent out to the Georgia Inhrmary,
AT the infrmary the attending
physician examined Mitchell's wound
He saw at once that it was
fatal, and so informed a MORNING
News reporter after leaving the hospital
Anodynes were administered to relieve
the mans sufierings.
AS soon as Sergt. Baughn, who was on
duty at the police barracks, heard of the
cutting he detailed several officers to
search for Mtchells assailaut. He had
not been found, however up to 2 o'clock
this morning, 1t is very probable that
the cutting originated over the woman
who was with Mitchell at the time the
affair took place.

THAT DRAINAGE AGAIN.
That Pond at Best and Montgomery
Streets is In the County.

That Pond at Best and Montgomery
Streets is In the County.
The statement was made in yesterdays
MORNING News that there was pool of
water about the corner of Best and Mont
gomery streets to which attention should
be given before the wet season.
Maj Blandford said yesterday that it
is fact that this pond is just outside
the city limits, but that it amounted to
nothing more than a depression, as there
was an underdrain that prevented any
water from accommodating there. This
underdrain, he said, served the purpose
and kept the place dry, and it was impos-
sible for any water to accumulate there
except for short time during very
heavy rains. This underdrain was put
in by the old drainage commission about
fourteen years ago.
Commissioner Carson, chairman Of the
drainage committee of the board of county
commissioners, said yesterday that it was
the Intention of the board to drain every
pond and pool within three miles of the
city before the gang was taken off the
work around the city. There was only
one exception, he said, and that was tho
MusgroYe creek section, to which atten-
tion would be given as soon as it is
practicable, perhaps within about
two months time. Within that time
he said, there would not be a drop
of water in any of the pools in the neigh
borhood of the city limits twenty-four
hours after the hardest kind of rain
He said the committee was proceeding on
the democratic idea of the greatest good
TO the greatest number, and was doing
the work around the city well. He said
places were being drained which had
never before been touched, and old drains
! which had not been touched for wears
were being greatly improved in evey

TO OPEN THE TYBEE SEASON.
Putting Everything in Summer Trim
at the Island

at the Island.
Mayor McDonough and party of
friends made trip to TYbee yesterday
afternoon on a special train. Gen.
Supt. Kline and Chief Engineer Hunter,
Of the Central railroad, and Supt. Saussy
of the Tybee railroad were in the party.
They returned to the city last night, after
spending a very pleasant afternoon on the
island.
The run both ways was made in good
time, and the roadbed was generally
voted TO be in tirst-class condition consid-
ering the newness of a large portion of it,
The Central raiilOad will begin the opera
tion OF regular schedule on the road to-
morrow.
II is expected that large crowds will
visit Iybee Sunday, it being the first Sun
day after the opening of the road, and
the first opportunity offered the greater
portion Of the population of the city to
visit this popular resort.
1t is expected that Tybee will have one
of the best seasons in its history this
summer. Its misfOrtunes nave attracted
general attention TO it, and the fact that
so many people who have been in the
habit of gong north for the summer, will
be unable TO do so this summer, will con-
tribute largely to increase the number of
visitors TO the island this summer. The
work Of putting the hotels in first class
condition Is about complete. The Hotel
Iybee VIII open for the season in a few
DAYS

READY TO ORGANIZE.
The Savannah Tank and Supply Com
pany Soon to Materialize.


The prospects are that the Savannah
Tank and Supply Company, the business
Of which will be to receive and store
spirits of turpentine and to load vessels
with that product, will soon be or
ganized and the tanks put at once under
construction.
Satisfactory arrangements have been
made with the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway for the purchase of suf-
ficient land in the ueighborhood of the
wharf property of that road for the pur-
pose of erecting the turpentine tanks.
The committee in charge of the orgaaiza-
ton of the company, of which Mr.. j. A.
g. Carson Is chairman, has found the
railroad officials willing to cooperate
with them in every way. The members
of the committee will work up every de-
tail and get everything in shape before
calling the factors together to organize
the company.
Nearly all the factors and a number of
the naval stores producers are among the
incorporators of the company None OF
the exporters appear among them, but it
is likely that some of them will be stock
holders. Many of the most prominent
producers have signifed their intention
of becoming stockholders in the company
The amount of the capital stock will be
S25, 0O0, which it is believed will be sub
scrbed within short time. The pur-
pose of the company is to erect two tanks
with a capacity of 5000 barrels of spirits
each, and to add to that tauking capacity
as the business demands it. The commit
tee believe that the project will prove a
successful one. The tank company in
London, which has been organized only a
short time, is now paying, it is said, 20
per cent dividends annually on the capt
tai stock. There is no reason why such
an enterprise should not be made to pay
in the first naval stores port of the world.
