Goldsboro, N. c., May 2.-The first
shipment of garden peas for this season
went forward from here this. afternoon.
They were shipped by T. N. Waters &
Bro. to a New York commission house
and were three baskets in number. Sew
eral growers have advised me they would
make shipments on Saturday next.
The Atlantic Coast Line express pass
ed through at 1910 this afternoon with
500 crates of berries and $50 packages
of vegetables. With this seasonable
weather the shipments of berries will
increase from now on. The pea and bean
crop in and around Goldsboro is looking
beautiful now.
The growing demands upon the Acme
Machine Works force them to run over
time. Last night the workmen quit work
at o'clock and tonight they worked till
10 o'clock l am glad to chronicle this
progress of a Goldsboro enterprise.
