FRUIT MEN AND INTERPRETATIONS
Action of the Central Resented by
Some of the Growers.

Action of the Central Resented by
Some of the Growers.
Macon. Ca, June 22.-The meeting Of the
fruit growers at the Brown House to-mor-
row will be one of the deepest interest and
of the greatest Importance to the fruit
growers who are unable to attend TO bus
mess interests all over the state.
Under a statement made by John D. Gun
bingham, president of the national asso-
citation of fruit growers, and Dudley
Hughes, president of the Georgia associa-
ton, it would seem that a saving of at
least 600 might be made 20 the growers
by the cancelling of the contract now ex-
isting between the. Central of Georgia
Railway and the Amour refrigerating car
people A prominent fruit grower, speak
ing of the matter to-day. said: THE fact
of the matter is that the profits of the
growers are to be almost entirely wiped up
by the railroads and refrigerator people
unless this present tariff can be arranged.
''The refrigerator people, he said, ARE
not in this discussion, although we have
invited them to the meeting tomorrow. OF
course, il was TO their interest to make a
contract If they could. and 1T is to their
interest to held the railroad 10 1t. We do
not charge the refrigerator people with be-
ing philanthropists, nor are they here for
tneH nedlth. Iney VIII not deny sup
pose, that they are out for all they can
get. This is what the growers are out
for. We do not make any charges
against the Central Railroad, nor is there
any bad feeling existing. We simply say
that the Central had no business to take
charge of the most important part of our
business and arrange for il without con-
sulting us. We claim to be as well able
to handle our business as the Central
Railroad, and if the Central will stick 10
its business we will stick to ours. We do
not propose to allow the Central or Mr.
Egan to hire our refrigerator cars or 10
make contracts for refrigerator cars for
us.
That is all there is in this question. II
is a mistake to think that there Is the
slightest Ill feeling. We think that 1t is
a piece of presumption on the part of the
Central to interfere in our affairs and we
viii tell them so at the meeting tomor-
row."
All railroad men and refrigerator car
men are invited to attend the meeting to-
morrow, and a special invitation to this
effect has been sent out to the roads and
representatives of their car lines.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 22.-Col. Law

ender of the Third Georgia, now forming,
announcing that Privates Robert Hodges

Is no truth In the story wired from here

COLUMBIA EXCURSION RULED OUT.
Augusta Draws the Line on Account

Augusta Draws the Line on Account
of smnlI-POx.
Augusta, Ga, June Pit became known
in Augusta to-day that an excursion from
Columbia, S. c., was to be brought here
tomorrow, and President Foster of the
Board of Health promptly notified the
railroad that the excursion could not
come to Augusta.
Hundreds of cases of smallpox have
been had in Columbia in the recent past
and the disease is still prevalent there, and
the president of the Board of Health was
not willing for an indiscriminate crowd
from that city to be emptied into Augusta
The railroad replied that no quarantine
had been declared against Columbia and 1t
was compelled to carry out its contract
and bring the train.
Tonight President Foster called a meet
ing of the Board of Health and resolutions
were passed and served on the railroads
that no train bringing excursionists from
Columbia would be permitted to enter the
city.
The authorities of Hamburg, S. c., just
across the river bridge, have been aroused
over the subject also, and will not permit
the debarkation of the excursionists from
the train on that side of the river
1t is probable that the railroads will no.
tify the Columbia parties of Augustus ac-
tion and either abandon the excursion or
carry it elsewhere, but President Foster
of the Board of Health is very positive
that IL 1t comes in spite of the notice, that
the train will never be allowed to cross the
Savannah river to Augusta.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH.
Big steel Producing Concern to Be
Built at EnsIey.

Built at EnsIey.
New York, June 22-The Times to-mor-
row will print the following: zone of the
most encouraging signs of the resumption
of industrial development of the South is
the assured state of the movement which
has been in progress for some time to es-
tablish an important steel producing con-
Germ at Ensley, Ala, a short distance from
Birmingham.
THE strong financial support which the
project has received has removed all
doubt of the speedy realization of the plans
Of its promoters.
An organization was effected a short
time ago under the name of the Alabama
Steel and Shipbuilding Company and
Moore & Schley, bankers of this city, v ere
engaged as financial agents.
1T was decided to issue s., 900 900 of 6
per cent. bonds, $4,000 of per cent. pre-
ferred stock, and $4,000 of common stock,
the bonds and preferred stock being guar
anteed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad Company.
No difficulty was experienced In dispos-
ing of the bonds. The plant, which is to
be erected by the company, will have a
capacity of 1000 tons of steel per day.
Among the various projects under dis
cussion is one for the erection of a wire
rod mill, near the steel plant, which will
absorb 300 tons of steel per day.
"A customer for 80 tons per day is like
ly to be found in a company which pro-
poses to manufacture ship plates for OK
port. One of the principal features of the
business, however, win be the manufac-
ture of steel rails.
THE Wellman-Seaver Engineering Com
pany of Cleveland, o., have been engaged
as the engineers and metanurgists for this
plant, and will have charge of the con-
struction of the works"
