The Indiana legislature has enact- ed a law that makes it bribery to give tips to the Pullman car porter. But, says an exchange, Indiana is mostly inhabited by spring poets and novelists, who are not inclined to in- dulge in bribery, both for moral and other reasons.

Fruit dno Vegetable Conven.
ton.

At the eighth annual meeting of
the Melon Growers association held
at Gainesville last Saturday, a reso-
luton was adopted calling a conven-
ton of Fruit and Vegetable Growers
of the state to meet in Jacksonville
on Wednesday, Jan. 30th, and ap-
pointed delegates to the same.
The object of the Convention will
be to take concerted action to bring
before the Interstate Commission
the matter of eXorbitant freight and
refrigerator rates and to get some re-
lief on the same.
F. D. Warner, secretary of the
Melon Growers association, issues
the following statement to the fruit
and vegetable growers of the state,
asking their cooperation to remedy
present conditions:
at is fact that we have no car
load rates to the East on many of our
products, and that the grower has
to pay just as much per package
whether he ships two packages or a
car load of four hundred.
There is carload rate on canta-
| loupes and all other classes of freight
to all points, and if we make the
proper 6HOEG Iu6r6 is no REASON WHY
we should not get relief from this
arbitrary action of the railroads as
we'll as a reduction from the present
high freight and refrigeration rates
charged us on all perishables.
Before the present rate law went
into effect it was almost useless to
try; but conditions have changed,
and if you will give us your hearty
cooperation and appoint at least
one delegate to meet us in Jackson.
vile to discuss this all-important
matter, and to formulate some plar
of action, we can no doubt get relic
and save to the growers thousand!
of dollars every year.
This is not a personal or local mat
ter, but effects all shippers, be h,
ever so small, and we earnestly re
quest that you hold meetings anC
send representatives from your sec
tion.
Kindly give this your serious con
sideration and advise us if you will
give us your help, as there is n
doubt but that by all working to
gether we can secure the much de
sired relief.
Please let us hear from you a
soon as possible"

Young Orator From Brownsville.

At Rockville, Maryland, on May
| 10, last, an oratorical contest
among the public school children
of that county was held in the
court house. 1t was participated in
by twelve contestants representing
the various schools of the county.
those taking part being the win
ners of medals in their respective
school of medals. These boys stood
at the head of their classes and as
such were privileged to compete
for the oratory prize, which is Of
fered annually in Montgomery
county, the prize being $50 in gold
and a free scholarship in a COM
mercial college in Washington.
All this is of interest to Browns
vile readers, because there was
one among those medal winners,
who is a native of Brownsville.
This was Master Franklin Com.
mings, the ten-year-old son of
Capt. J.F. Commings, formerly
of this place and who was for many
years principal of the public school
here, but who now resides at
Dickerson, Nd. NJ aster Franklin
is still well remembered in Browns
vile as bright, lovable little fell
low and it is a pleasure to learn
that he is doing so well at school.
His success is indeed quite remark
able, when it is known, as learned
from a private letter, that in order
to be permitted to compete for this
honor, he had first to win the
medal in his own school, which he
did against a member of oppon-
ents all older that himself, ranging
in fact, from fourteen to eighteen
years of age. While Franklin die
not win the prize in the final con.
test, still he came out sixth, being
the youngest competitor. which is
a great honor for so young al
orator. THE HERALD congratu'
lates Franklin on his success and
expects to report greater things o.
him hereafter.
