One of Many Important Subjects for Common Good Conference. After the crop is made what is to be done with it'.' Marketing is not so simple as it may seem; for the bent prices cannot be had with hap? hazard unloading on the market. The Held must be prepared by eo-opera tion, and tow rates must be secured in this way before the farinei with diversified crops can meet competition or the one-crop farmer get a fair return. To dump cantaloupes, for example, upon an overloadedd market is about as sensible as shooting them at the moon with smokeless powder, for powder is cheaper than freight bills. 8ome years OgO farmers plow? ed gl res of this melon under be? cause the price was too low to pay to ship to market. Disposing of the product clearly needs as much thought as producing it. Now, If farmer and consumers could get nearer together, both would undoubtedly he benefited.

The Southern's Head the Hlglit Man in the Right Place. (From the Norfork Virginian-Pilot) The Virginian-Pilot shares the grat? ification very generally expressed by contemporaries throughout the South at tin- assurance, contained in a Wash? ington dispatch, that the Southern Railway is not to lose the services of President W. W. Plnley. Mr. Fipley is a progressive and eonstructice force in tli?- affairs of the South, which neither the railway system of which he is/he excutive lo ad nor the vast sec? tion which that system serves could afford to lose at this juncture. To bor? row the language of the Lynchburg I News, he has. throughout his admin istration of a great Southern trunk 1 li. e, "predicated his policy upon a keen, lively, practically recognition of the vital truth that a railroad's pros? perity, in essential measure, depends upon tin- prosperity of the territory penetrated and served by its lines: that it should aid as far as reasonable in developing the material resources of that country; that it should culti? vate a spirit of candor, friendliness and co-operation between itself and tin- people; that it should Kive intelli? gent heed and consideration to the public's viewpoint with respect to railway policy, and that on all proper occasions is should take the public ln t< confidence and by absolute frank? ness of disclosure and temperate dis? cussion, Beek to create that sense of co-dependence and reciprocity of obli? gation that relate the common carri? er to those whtj patronise it or are af? fected by its policy." That the pur? suit of this broad, sensible policy has proved beneficial alike to the South tin Railway and tin- te1 itory tri? butary to it goes almost without say? ing.
