Run Oyer by Cars and Killed.

Daniel Eichelberger, colored, was
run over by cars and killed last Sat
urday, at point between Exmore
and Mappsburg station. He was one
of an excursion party on that day
bound to Salisbury, Md, and per-
sisted despite the warning of the con-
ductor in standing on the platform.
While in that position the coupling
of the car was broken and he was
tossed headlong between the wheels,
the cars passing over and infiicting
wounds from which he died in about
three hours thereafter. At an in
quest held over him in the afternoon
by Mr. Thos. w. Blackstone, acting
coroner, the jury rendered the YER
dict that death was due to his own
carelessness and the carelessness was
due, we are advised, to an over in
diligence in whiskey on the occasion.

It will be observed that this aver
age is taken from q seasons sales in
Guiding both the early end late, and
the average per acre will be much
less than so barrels, upon which the
above estimate of the cost of raising
barrel of potatoes was made. While
average price was over 81 per barrel,
the net proceeds of these potatoes
were not $50 to the acre or cent per
sprout. So it will be seen that the
cost of raising these was largely over
my estimate S119 per barrel.
The question naturally arises how
is it possible for man to make o
living at raising sweet potatoes much
less any money?
Only those farmers who work them
selves from day break till dark and
whose wives and children work as
many hours are enabled to save
money. The day Of Gentleman
farming" has passed away. AL Of
the profits consist in the good manage
ment and labor of the farmer, his
wife and children. tits undoubtedly
fact that the farmers of the Eastern
Shore work harder than any farmers
in Virginia. Prof. Brent in his
pamphlet on the Eastern Shore, says
that there was shipped from Acco-
mac in 1890, 100000 barrels Of pota-
toes. Estimating that one-half as
many are shipped from Northampton.
and that one-fourth Of the whole
amount are transported by water,
the railroad transports 800, 900 barrels
Of potatoes alone. The excess OF
freight charged on these over the
Norfolk rates being Is cents per bar
rel amounts to $117,00 Add to this
the excess on berries, apples, kale.
&C., we have an amount not less than
S125 1000 which the Inter State Com
merce Commission by its decision de-
clared to be excessive" Is it then
strange that after a canvass of the
Peninsula by the railroad officials
only eighteen gentlemen were found,
some of whom are not farmers, who
considered the present rates reason
able and jnst::''
The net proceeds realized from po-
tntoes per barrel is not so much now
as before we had the railroad, us l
can show from the records above re-
ferred to.

NEIGnDORHo0D NOTES.
OuancRck.

Our town is full of lady visitors,
too numerous to mention-the most
of them pretty and ell OF them wei
come.
Coal was unloaded here from schoon-
ers of Mr.. W. D. Lewis and of Powell
g. NAPLES, this week, at $4.60 per
ton Of 2240 pounds.
Mr.. Charles S. NAPLES, Of the firm
of Whiting s. NAPLES. Baltimore, and
wife, were home last week on q visit
to family of Mr.. John s. NAPLES and
other relatives.
Mr.. VIM. T. Winder, our new mer-
chant, does not propose to be drone
in the busy hive of workers in which
he has cast his lot, and is making i'm
provements at his store, which shows
that he intends to sell his share Of
goods in his line.
The Baptist parsonage, large and
commodious building, is nearing COM
pletion-the storehouse of F. A. West,
is ready for occupancv-and many
other evidences of Improvement can
be noted by the most casual observer
in many sections OF the town.
Capt. Thomas johnson returned
this week from trip to New York,
whittier he went to contract for the
building of sloop for tie oyster
business. The energy "f the captain,
at fourscore years, is lesson for the
young men of the county. which
could be accepted by them with
profit.
The lecture of DR.. Fl. NJ. Wharton,
of Baltimore, in Baptist Church on
Tuesday night, was well attended.
The DR.. is always expected to delight
the audiences who hear him and al
ways does it-and on this occasion
sustained fully his reputation as q
public speaker. The receipts were
$65.6S.
Four barrels of sweet potatoes have
been shipped from Onancock to date.
Jim Burton, colored. sent the first
barrel on Wednesday of last week,
consigned to J. H. Seward & Co.,
Baltimore, which were sold for SIS,
netting him $13.77-it was of the
Early Golden variety and very fine
the other three barrels were 'yellows.'
The mud machine and other appli-
ances for opening the bar at Oman
cock creek have arrived, and work
on same will be begun at once. The
contractor gets 10 cents per cubic
foot for the job and is expected to
remove about 1000 cubic yards of
mud naily. An appropriation was
made BY Congress of $4,000 for the
purpose.
The Baptist Church of our town
was dedicated according to announce
ment. last Sunday, and in the opinion
of the large crowd in attendance on
the occasion is not only the hand
soonest in appearance but is provided
with the most comfortable accom-
modations of any church on the
Shore. Tt is elegantly furnished.
The dedicatory sermon of DR..
Goodwin, was q very fine one and
entirely satisfactory to the audience
the mass meeting in the afternoon
was fully up to public expectation.
The sum of S1000,57 was raised to pay
debt on church building.
