FRUIT AND TRUCK IN CRAVEN
COUNTY.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The fruit prospect is better than n
would suppose, after such season. as
we have had. The peach crop lie not
all killed, but is much thinned out by
frosts and freezes. We have had ice
four times in April and ten or twelve
frosts. The apple is in full bloom now
and promises q fine crop. Strawber-
ries are ripening; q few have been
picked, and in a few days the crop will
be moving rapidly.
Early peas are generally poor; q few
early ones may be picked next week.
Potatoes up but backward.
Oabbages are beginning to head, but
are irregular, and many r going to
seed.
Farmers are hopeful, notWithstand-
ing the hindrances consequent upon
such a cool, wet spring.
Tomatoes have been set in the fields
and are quite an important crop in this
section.
The strawberry crop is not likely to
be a full one, owing to the many
blooms killed by frost. ...
It is probable that u early crops
will sell we'll, as they are 90 much cut
off here and south of US. Beans, can
teloupes and cucumbers are coming up
in warm places,

Lieutenant and Fourteen Sailors Captured
at Baler".Fate of the Men unknown.
WASHINGTON, April 18 "A dispatach
was received from Admiral Dewey tC-
day which said:
"The Yorktown visited Baler, LuzOn,
April L., for the purpose of rescuing
and bringing away the Spanish forces,
consisting of thirty soldiers, three Off
GERS and two priests, who we're sur
rounded by 400 insurgents. Lieutenant
Gilmore and a party Of b~luejackets
were ambushed, fired upon and cap
tured. Their fate is unknown, az the
insurgents refused to communicate
af5erward."
The greatest concern is manifested
at the Navy Department owe the news
sent by Dewey. Knowing something Of
the cruelty of Filipinos towards prison
ers, officials can only hope for the best.
They are encouraged by the fact that
three American soldiers captured be-
fore Manila we're, at last accounts, be-
ing treated with consideration.

ANTITRUST LAW sTIRs I'm UP,
Hundreds of Texas Business Men Lob

Hundreds Of Texas Business Men k0D'
bying Against It.
AUSTIN, Texas, April Is Never in
it's history has Texas been 30 stirred up
as it is at present over the introduce
ton of the Arkansas anti trust law in
the legislature. Many hundreds OF
business men Of the State are here per
sonally lobbying against the measure
and kilograms poured in all day long.
This afternoon wires we're worked from
the Arkansas side and telegrams
flooded both houses. Many business
men protested that the bill had done
Arkansas an unspeakable iDjury, while
the Attorney. General and others wired
that the law was a perfect success, and
the people approved it.
Upon receipt Of kilograms from both
houses of the Arkansas legislature con,
graduating Texas upon the introduc-
ton of the measure, and wishing for it
a speedy and favorable action, the
Texas legislature sent a vote Of thanks
to Arkansas for this moral support.
AUSTIN, Texas, April 2O.-The special
committee appointed by the Senate to
give hearings to parties interested in
the Arkansas anti trust bill now pend,
ing in the Texas Legislature, to day
recommended that the bill be passed
without amendments save m to pro
vida that the hill shall not hec0me
operative until January 1st, 1900.
The statement was made on thehoor
that interests likely to be affected by
the bill were spending thousands OF
dollars in efforts to intimidate legisla-
tors.

many mills and growing manufactuF'
ing interests. But if we join in with
the negroes, it'll take the party and
the individual members of it ten years
to recover from the effects of the bitter
campaign that is going to be waged in
North Carolina on the question Of q
limited suffrage" Yet another man,
high in Republican councils, argued
that the adoption Of the Amendment
would be the best thing that could
happen to the Republican party. s'Just
take out the negro, and do you know
what would happens Why, we'd com.
bine with the gold Democrats and o
troll the State" A very observant
Radical from the Piedmont section was
not 80 sure of carrying the Amend
ment. He thought q strong opposition
to it could be worked up among the
white people. "As to Governor" said
HiramD Mason, a prominent Chatham
county Republican, I'm in favor of
Attorney. General Walser. Pritchard
is too big a man for the place. He's
our next candidate for Vice President.
Certainly North Carolina viii give him
her solid support for that position"
Mr.. Mason's nominations are seconded
by Mr.. r L. BlRckman, of Daplin
county.

His Highest Estimates. of the Force He
Needs to Conquer Pilipinos.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The Elev-
enth Infantry, now in Porto Rico
under orders to proceed to this coun-
try, will be ordered to the Philippines
as soon as it's ranks can be filed to war
strength. Three thousand recruits are
to be sent from San Francisco as fast
as possible to I'LL out regiments now in
the PHILIPPINES.
The highest estimate made by Gen.
eral Otis Of men required in the Phil
ippines is 80, 900. There are $1,000
regulars now in the islands or under
orders to proceed there. The Seventh
and Twenty fifth (uegro) regiments Of
Infantry and one dismounted cavalry
regiment will probably be ordered to
Manila very soon. This will increase
the fighting force Of Oils TO about g.
900 men, the total number believed TO
be required at this time, with the GER
tainty that the last Of the volunteers
will not be able to leave until July.
Three regiments of regular artillery
are also to be sent az infantry.
Regarding the difficulties. of trans
~portation from the United States, IN
officer of she War Department today
said Even if we had an army Of 1OO,-
900 men, we could not reinforce Otis
any more rapidly than we r doing
now. Do the best we can. it will be
impossible to land any considerable
force on the other side before October"

quarts, and there was some disorder
before the last speech was made. While
Perry Belmont was chairman OF the
ten dollar banquet, his brother, Oliver
81. p. Belmont (whose wife, formerly
Mrs. William Fl. Vanderbilt, is the
mother of the Duchess of Marlbo-
rough) sat by the side of Mt. Bryan at
the one dollar dinner and made q
speech there in denunciation of con.
centrated wealth and p~lutocracy, Mr..
Bryan's address was a very long me-.
He attacked the Gold Democrats, de-
Tended the old silver platform and
coinage ratio, opposed any substitu
ton Of national bank notes for treas
ury notes, and paid his respects to the
other faction by arguing that any plat
form denounciDg trusts should also
logically express hostility to monopoly
everywhere, and especially to what he
calls 1.-The money trust. "-Indepen-
dent.
Savannah, Ca, April 22.-The First
North Carolina regiment Of infantry
was mustered out of service here this
morning. They will probably travel
in companies. A notable incident OF
the muster ont is the presentation by
the officers Of the regiment to the
Governor of North Carolina. Gov
ernor Russell is a Republican and all
of the officers r Democrats. But
politics has been lost sight OF. and
handsome service will go forward to
the Governor by express, accompanied
by a written address. The disintegra-
ton of the command here will preclude
a personal and verbal presentation.
At the gold Democrats $40 dinner in
New York recently, reform OF the
tariff and restriction OF trusts were
put forward by Augustus Van Wyck
as ground for q successful appeal to
the people at the next national cleo
ton. He brought the two together,
saying that the tariff had been one OF
prolific source of monopoly and mon
strous misuses of the franchise given
another. He challenged supporters
of the present tariff to name a single
considerable branch of industry over
which it's protection has been extended,
which is not now controlled by q con
federacy Of conspirators against com
petition.
Our readers will remember that
sometime last February a negro post
master, named Baker, was murdered
at Lake City, s. @. It seemed that
Baker lived in the back part OF the
building in which he kept the post
Office. The murderers set fire to the
house with Baker and his family in it,
and then shot Baker and each mem.
Der of his family as they ran out, flee
ing from the flames. Baker and his
wife and children, including an in
FAINT were thus killed or burned. 1t
seems that since that time two OF the
parties to the conspiracy have turned
States evidence, and on their evidence
thirteen indictments have been found
in the Federal Court, and eleven true
bills returned by the grand jury,
against some Of the most prominent
people in that section. 1t looks az II

PHILADELPHIA, April 81 John Wan
amaker to night made q statement rel
atsve to the acquittal Of ex Senator
Quay and the latter's appointment az
Senator by Governor Stone. Among
other things he said: 1.-THE acquittal Of
Senator Quay will be a disappointment
to every lover Of justice and every

throughout the United States. It re-
cords with emphasis the difficulty Of
convicting potent political defend
ants charged with public crime no
matter how clear, convincing, or over.
whelming the evidence may be. This
is a new chapter of shame for Penn
slvania, a new record OF failure in the
administration of justice that will do
much to encourage corruption and
public plunderers generally through
out the country. The shout Of defiant
e~xultation over his acquittal has pro-
ceeded from the Governor Of the Com.
Conwealth, who has promptly sp.
pointed Quay a nited States Senator,
without authority and in violation and
defiance of the will Of the people, as
expressed by the votes of the legisla
tors. But friends of good government
should not despair. There are other
indictments, undisposed of, still hang
ing over Quay, and whatever may be
their fate, even though it should be
q technical acquittal, the con
test against the degrading forces, prsc.
tees and principles which Quay and
his machine represent, will be carried
on until justice and right, morality
and honesty, shall triumph"
