OTHER BUSINESS AFFAIRS,


a resolution was offered by DR.. J. III.
Faison to amend the charter of the
association, to read TO endorse local
associations which are to be organiz-
ed as follows:
Each station organization to appoint
one delegate for every 100 packages
TO the county convention and this con-
yention TO send one delegate for every
5000 to the state association and one
director for each $4,000 packages or
fraction of Is 900 in the county After
a heated discussion this resolution
which would have practically meant
the death of the e. c. T. and F. G.
Association, was defeated by an over
whelming vote
A resolution offered by Mr. l. Will
liams, providing for the directors to
treat with the railroad company, re-
lative 10 reduction on minimum on
cantaloupes, was adopted
The stockholders by a unanimous
vote, decided to levy an assessment OF
Sl.OO per share on each share of stock.
IL.
This relief measure, it is thought, will
bring in a considerable amount of rev.
enue to the organization.
4 resolution on an important mat
ter, offered by Mr.. Z. W. Whitehead,
was adopted. This resolution set forth
the fact that whereas recent rulings
OF the interstate commerce commission
indicate that growers in territory are
paying higher freight rates than are
charged growers in the Tennessee ber-
ry district and that this is a clear dis
elimination against the North Carroll
ma growers and resolved that the pres
ident be instructed to inquire fully into
the situation and if the facts are as
| they seem to be that the directors be
istcutnrl0imBmt
instructed to take the matter up with
the A. C. L., requesting that rates be
lowered to a parity with Tennessee
rates within sixty days from September
1st. That in case of failure the presi-
dent appoint a committee of five to
seek redress from the interstate CON-
merce commission. The secretary is
ordered to furnish a copy of the reso-
luton to the railroad company.
