Freights on Fruits.
Georgia Growers Make a Vigorous
Klck-The Roads Arguments.

ATLA7A, June IS The fruit grow
ers brought up their case before the
Georgia railroad commission to-day
and the hearing was full of excite
ment, the fire between the fruit grow
ers and the railroad men becoming
so intense as to almost precipitate a
personal encounter between Maj
Shellman, traffic manager of the Cen
trail Railroad of Georgia, and Mr.. NJ :.
F. Hatcher, leader among the fruit
growers
The fruit growers complain that
the rates charged by the railroads for
hauling peaches to market are axces-
sive Their COMPLAINT is in general
and the warfare against the roads is
red hot. They want lower rates,
particularly on peaches The roads
claim that the fruit traffic is the most
expensive of all, that it costs more
in the special qnick schedules that
have to be made. houling from six to
eight tons of ice per car, for which
they do not receive any freight
They claim that they cannot haul
fruit with such advantages without
charging for 1t. They claim that
there is no profit in the traffic for
them even at the rate they get The
case will be continued to morrow

a Result of the Supreme
Courts Long Delay.

A long time ago Senator Butler
brought case in the State Supreme
Court to test the constitutionality OF
the registration laws of the State OF
South Carolina. At least some peo-
pie have reason to believe that lie
did, though since the argument of
the case, nothing has been heard OF
it, so far as the court is concerned.
But whether it be generally known
or not, the various supervisors OF
registration in the State have dis
covered that such case was
brought and they are now very much
concerned to have the court "say
something
When the case was first brought
the court issued an injunction to
stand until the further order of the
court prohibiting the State authori.
ties to pay out any money Ito the
supervisors of registration in the
State until the further order of the
court" There has been no further
order of the court aud the supervi-
sors seem to be in hole as to get
ting their salries. They have
been writing to the Comptroller
General about their salaries, and un-
der the order of the court in this
case, he cannot issue any warrants
upon the treasurer for their salaries
and is SO notifying them And 80
the matter stands. What will be
done about it of course remains to
be seen.-State.

The Bacteriolocy OF Clothes.


Doctor Seitz, of Munich, in the British
Medical Journal, says that on examin-
ing a worsted stocking, he found $50
thriving colonies Of bacilli, while on a
cotton sock there were 712. Both these
articles had been worn, but no Informal
ton is vouchsafed as to the personal
habits of the wearer. Thirty-three col
onies were found on a glove, 20 on a
piece Of wooden stuff, and 9 on a piece
Of cloth. None of these articles had
been worn. On piece Of cloth from
a garment which had been worn a week
there were 2S colonies. OF the micro
organisms found on articles Of cloth
ing, relatively few were capable Of
causing disease; the pathogenic species
were almost without exception staphyl-
ococcus pyogenes albus nineteen days
after they had been worn. The anthrax
bacillus found in clothes was still viru-
lenH after a year. The microbe Of cry
sipelas, on the other hand, could not
be found after eighteen hours, nor the
chdtera vibrio after three days. Doc.
tor 'Seitz studied with special care the
question whether in tuberculous sub
5ects who sweat profusely the bacillus
was conveyed by the perspiration to a
piece Of linen worn for some time next
the skin Of the chest. The incubation
OF two guinea-pigs, however. gave mega
tive results.

A Point for Photographers.

Accounts from Europe tell us that
there is new invention in photography
by means of which the operator may
take ferrotypes and develop them with
out going to a dark room. The plates
are dropped into receptacle, and by
moving series of springs developing
liquid is poured upon them. They are
then moved backward and forward and
put through the necessary processes in
the darkness Of the closed chamber until
they are able to bear the light. This
is an invention Of good deal Of import
ance, as one may take pictures and fin
ish and deliver them at once. Improve
ments in photography are remarkable.
and we are promised developing proc
ess Of a similar nature before long.

WEAVING Lambs.

In nearly all cases the lambs should
be weaned not later than the first of
August, when it can be done conven-
iently. One Of the best plans Of man
agement is to leave the lambs in the
pasture where they have been accus-
toned to run, as they will worry less
than If they are put in a strange place
all to themselves.
The ewes should always be removed
out Of sight and hearing. They should
either be turned into a rather scant
pasture or be fed with dry grains or
hay for a few days, until the milk dries
up.
It is best to examine them every day
for three or four days and If necessary
relieve their udders of the milk. After
the milk is dried up they should have

Water-Tieht Commitments,

The frequency Of collisions at sea and
their fatal results have led to many
Investigations and experiments in the
line of water-tight compartments. II
is one thing to build a vessel with air
chambers that will float it, and quite an
other to have safety appliances always
in order and ready for emergencies. 1t
has been said that certain of our large
passenger steamships have, on occa-
sions. turned the water-tight compart-
ments into places for Storage passen-
gers. Their greed ran away with their
common humanity and regard for the
lives Of those on board. It certainly is
a waste Of time and energy to prepare
the means Of safety at great expense
when proper care is not taken to keep
them within available reach.
