THE REASON ron THE BOYCOTT.
Nothing New in Vice President
Knots Claims.

The boycott against the Louisville and
Nashville railroad by the Southern whole
sale grocers appears to- be in effect pretty
much all over the south.
First Vice President Stuart r. Knott of
the Louisville and Nashville is out in a
long interview. defending the position of
the railroad He adds nothing new to the
discussion. however. his main point being
that the boycott against the Louisville
and Nashville is unjust because the ac-
tion of all the roads represented In the
Southern Railway and Steamship Assoc
citation was unanimous I'm refusing the
request Of the grocers for a differential
between carload and less than carload
lots of staple goods He quotes In support
of his position. the following resolutions
recently adopted by the executive commit
tee of the railway and steamship associa-
ton at its meeting in AsheVille.
Whereas, The action taken by the
members of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association in 1893. when all
western lines were members and the sub
sequent action taken by the present NOM
bers of the association. in declining, for
cause, TO create a diffcrential. rate be-
tween carload and less than-carload ship
ments of hog products. grain and its
milled products, sugar, molasses coffee.
rice, soap and soda, was with the unani-
nous consent and approval of the several
representatives Of all Of the lines, and the
Louisville and Nashville railroad is, there
fore, no more responsible for this ac-
ton than the other lines concerned. in
Guiding those not now members of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation; therefore, be 1t
Resolved That the boycott Of the
Wholesale Grocers' Association, declar-
ed against the Louisville and Nashville
! railroad. is unreasonable and unjust, and
will receive no countenance or support
from the members of this association. -"
Vice President Tiedeman of the Savan-
nah Wholesale Grocers' Association was
seen yesterday and was asked why it was
that If the request Of the srocers was re-
fused by the Southern Railway and Steam
ship Association as body, that the
Louisville and Nashville railroad was
picked out for the boycott.
For the very good reason" he said,
that the Louisville and Nashville is
alone responsible for the state of affairs.
The association has rule that no agree
ment as to rates can be entered into by
the members unless II is unanimously
agreed to by all. The refusal Of the
Louisville and Nashville to agree to any
such change in the rates as asked for
prevented the executive committee from
doing anything and the unanimous re-
port of the executive committee was
merely matter of policy. We understood
very well where the trouble was There
is nothing new in the boycott l think
it is being generally carried out, and
that the Louisville and Nashville will
feel its effects soon, If it has not already
done so"

CROPS IN THE STATE.
An Improvement Reported From
Nearly Every Section.


Atlanta, July 3.-The weekly crop re-
port of the weather bureau, out to-day,
gives the following summary of the crop
conditions in Georgia:
Another week of warm, showery, sun
shiny weather has further improved all
crops, except in the northern section,
where cotton is not doing as well as could
be wished. the plant being still small and
backward, and in some localities sur
fering from rust. In other sections of
the state the cotton crop is doing fairly
we'll and with favorable weather from
now on will no doubt mature very good
yield
The corn crop is practically made and
the opinion of a great majority of our
reporters is that it will be one of the
largest, if not the largest, ever grown in
the state.
THE wheat yield IS turning out very
light, but the quality of the grain is good.
The temperature has been about normal
in the southeastern counties and good
showers have fallen in every locality. The
corn crop. which is now made, is very
fine one. Cotton is fruiting nicely, and the
present prospect IS for a good yield. Su-
gar cane and rice are exceptionally good
Melons are plentiful and peaches are album
dant but the qualit1 is not as good as de-
sired. They are also rotting on the trees,
the result Of frequent rains.
