Sharpcrs who Robbed the Farmers
Through False Promises.


CHEsTERTowN, Sept. 15.-The fruit
growers of Kent who, ON account Of
their location, have shipped nearly all
of their fruit by rail to market, are in
dignant at the commission mon and
shippers. The shippers in many cases
guaranteed higher prices than were
offered by buyers at the stations. They
then instructed their commission men, II
is claimed, to send returns in excess OF
tho regular freight Of from two to three
cents per basket. In addition TO this,
they received commission Of three per
cent on the gross sales, making their
excess Of charges on shipments of one
day at several hundred dollars, while
the growers sustained loss.
At the meeting of the Fruit Growers'
Association in Chestertown to-day COM
mittees were appointed to solicit nom
inal sums of money TO send representa-
tives to New York TO investigate mat
tiers, and to institute suits against some
one OF the commission men and some
shippers in order to make test cases to
see if the amounts paid in excessive
charges cannot be recovered. It is esh-
mated that the amount paid by the
growers in and near Millington alone
in excess of legitimate freighting rates
will amount to from $4,000 to $4,000,
and II is impossible to estimate the loss
throughout the county. The three
points where these illegal charges have
been most heavily felt are Boston, New
York and Philadelphia. Another meet.
ing will be held at Millington ON Sep

The remarkable feat of Transporting
mails from Yokohama to Queenstown
in twenty days puts the western route
so far ahead of the eastern that the
latter is literally nowhere. The time
consumed by the latter route, from
Great Britain, via Brindisi, the Mediter-
ranean, the Suez canal and the Indian
mail steamers, to Japan, is about forty
days; just double the western record.
IN the opinion Of the Paris edition Of
the New York Herald, the result will be
to reverse the direction of the current Of
traffic, Thereby bringing to America a
golden harvest Of freight and commerce
that formerly enriched the commission
merchants and bankers of the Leyant
and India"

"The wind-up of the peach CROP"
says the Dover Sentinel, "brings with it
the lowest prices, or rather lack Of
prices, the growers have realized during
the season, and prices have been much
under what was anticipated. But in
addition to the continued wet weather
which the growers on this Peninsula
have had to contend with, every locality
all over this broad land where fruit is
grown has had crop. Michigan's crop
was large, and in central Kansas the
yield was so great that peaches sold for
80 cents per bushel. And not only
peaches but everything in the fruit line
has been abundant. There has not been
such fruit season in many years. Yet
Notwithstanding the low prices there
has been large sums of money brought
into the State by the fruit crop and it
has been well distributed among the
laboring classes, which insures good
fall and winter trade"
