THE GREAT STRAWBERRY CROP.

Our truckers, we are glad to say,
have thus far had a quite prosper
Gus season. Just here it may be
said that a great many people in
Central and Western Carolina have
not yet woke up to the fact that
trucking in the East is a great big in
dustry. For the benefit of these
people, we present this item from
the Wilmington Messenger, showing
the amount received by Eastern
truckers for strawberries alone.
Says the Messenger:
"It is expected that this week will
mark practically the close of the
strawberry season in this section, at
least so far as profitable shipment in
large quantities to Northern and
Eastern markets is concerned. A
gentleman prominently connected
with the Fruit Growers Express, by
which such an admirable refrigerated
a service is being given, says that,
in his opinion, SO per cent. of the
crop has already been moved. And,
too, it is gratifying to repeat the
statement previously made in the
Messenger that the crop has been
moved at prices which have made
the crop very profitable to the grow
ers. 1t is safe to estimate that an
average price of certainly not less
than 10 cents per quart has been re-
ceived for the crop thus far. So
that the amount of money which has
been distributed along this section
of the Wilmington and Weldon and
the Atlantic and Yadkin Railroads
assumes enormous proportions, when
the authoritative statement is made
that about 1000 carloads or 8, 1880, 900
quarts of berries have been moved
by the Fruit Growers Express Com
pany alone. Then the Southern Elk
press Company has moved about co.
900 crates, or 1, 1920, 900 quarts. This
gives a grand total of II, 200, 900
quarts of Strawberries.
Estimating that an average price
10 cents per quart has been received
it will give a total of 1,12O, 900,
which has been received for the ber-
ries marketed thus far"

TOBACCO COMMITTEES MEET.

The Executive Committee and the
Committee on Plans of the North
Carolina Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton met in this city last Thursday.
Secretary T. B. Parker had reports
from the various county organiza-
tions showing very gratifying prog
ress of the Association in the State.
He also read letters from adjoining
States showing great interest in the
movement.
Reports from the counties in this
State show great activity and that
most of the tobacco-growing coun-
ties in this State r being satisfac-
torily organized though a few that
seemingly do not understand the
Jordan plan have not shown the ac-
tivity that was hoped for.
The committee thinks best to push
organization, until it shall cover
each and every townip in the
tobacco belt. The Jordan and several
| other plans were discussed by the
committee, which still have them
under consideration. From informa-
ton in the hands of the committee
they are satisfied that by thorough
organization they have the key to
the situation and car accomplish the
purposes of the association. Upon
the whole, the outlook is most en-
couraging.
Great and deep interest is being
taken in the action of this associa-
ton by capitalists and manufacture
ers, and ample capital is offered to
back the various plans Of the associa-
ton.

It is not so long ago that any stock
article, however much of worth and
durability it had, lacked as a rule all
elegance of design. In other words
it had no style. Fortunately all this
isnow past. The article of moderate
cost has a character and finish that
could not be had a few years ago ex-
cept in high-priced, made-to-order
goods. It is nowhere nor notice
able than in some of the modern
