Shoe Factory, was arrested yesterday by
Office Moses Lilienthal charged with as
saulting and beating Robert White, a ne
gro porter White got a warrant on the
statement that Wiensky struck him I'M
expectedly with a boot
From the story told at the Justices office
by Mr. Wilensky the negro was given a
few gentle taps for general cussedness
which he was displaying about the store.
Mr. Wilensky ssid he told White to store
away some shoes, and after he had done
this, there were few pairs which could
not be found. A search followed by the
proprietor and others, but they were I'M
able to locate the missing shoes, and were
compelled to call in White. He is said to
have scrambled around for awhile, and
finally pointed out the missing property,
which was located in a rather secluded
place.
An explanation was in order and Mr..
Wilensky was not slow in demanding il.
Whether White told why he put the shoes
there is not known, but if he did, his
words were punctuated by Mr.. Wilensky,
who welded the boot to good advantage.
Sole leather popped pretty loud in the
store for a time, it is stated, and White
got a reminder he may not soon forget.

SAVANNAH. GA.
LOWER FREIGHT RATES.
Truck Farmers Say They Must Have
Them Or Go Out of Business.


Them or Go Out of Business.
Clyo. Ga, Aug. Is. Editor
Morning News: We melon and
vegetable and fruit growers in the section
contiguous to Savannah feel very much
interested in the movement now on foot
to get the transportation companies to
give us a living rate on our products to
the distant markets. We must have low
er rates or go out of business. The pre-
vailing rates are simply prohibitive, as
the following rates paid by US this year
will show
From a point thirty miles north of Sa-
vannah we have paid as high as $ll75S
freight on a car of melons to Washing
ton, d. C.; $14 to Norfolk Va, 1853 to
Charlotte and $50 to Columbia, S. c.
These rates are practically prohibitive.
We venture to say that there is no man
ufacturing or mercantile business that
could pay such freight and prosper. Just
think Of having to pay 6S cents per barrel
freight on Irish potatoes to points as near
as Charlotte n. c., and Spartanburg S.
c. The rates to these places are only
few cents cheaper than it is TO New York,
and they are only about one-fourth the
distance. From time to time We see you
advocating and advising the farmers to
change from the aN-cotton plan, and 10
diversity our crops. We have taken your
advice, but can't see any more chance for
improvement unless we can get the rail-
roads to give US a living rate.
We hope that the mission of Maj. Ryais
to the North to secure cheaper rates on
our products viii be successful. The
writer of this article sold seven cars of
melons this year, which brought 800 gross.
The railroads got $3.50 for freight, the
commission men $50 and the grower $500
for all his labor and expense, which
amount would not pay actual cost. And
not a car was shipped further than Wash
irgton, D. c. 1t seems as if the railroads
want it all. Vegetable Grower.
