The Strawberry Outlook.
Wilmington Disnatch.l

NllulHSlOH DlSpdICN.)
DR.. Il. Porter, of Rocky Point, one of
the veteran truckers of this section of
the State, was in the city yesterday and
i'll speaking of the strawberry outlook
says he thinks the prospects for a good
crop of berries are very good Not only
Will the crop be good he added, but
the prices will undoubtedly be higher
on account of the great scarcity of other
fruit during the past year. The fruit
crop has had an eff year of it and ap-
pies are scarce and selling at a very
high price. The same way with peaches.
The crop was very short and the conse-
quence was very little canning was done.
Hence every indication points to good
prices for the strawberry crop.
This has been an unusual winter. We
have had more freezing weather this
year probably than at any time in the
history of this section. Winter started
in early and all vegetation has been
kept back. There have not been the
usual warm spells that often tend to
revive the plants and send up a little
sap The indications are that when
spring sets in the cold weather will have
spent its force. That being the case
the spring should be most favorable for
all forms of vegetation. Certainly the
bugs and insects in the ground have been
8nnihilated by the cold.
1t fact. it will take a fine crop year
and good prices to begin to put the
people in this section on their feet again.
This immediate section is not alone in
feeling the i'll effects from the past year.
The same condition of affairs seems to
prevail almost everywhere.
1t should be gratifying to everybody to
know that the strawberry outlook is
bright. Comparatively few people know
it, but this crop alone brings about one
million dollars into circulation in the
State. And most of it comes to this inn
mediate section of Eastern North Caro-

LIGHT FOR DIAMOND SHOALS.
Great Electric Beam to be Thrown on Clouds to
Warn Mariners.

Diamond Shoal Lightship No. II left
Baltimore Tuesday afternoon for her sta
tion on Diamond Shoals. off the North
Carolina coast equipped with a new
electric search light that is to send a
pillar of white light from the vessels
bow to the skies. A binding beam of
electric light thirteen inches wide will
give warning to ships of the dangerous
shoals off Cape Hatteras. The ships
regular beacon lights are visible eighteen
miles at sea. but they look like tallow
dips in comparison with the 5000 candle
power searchlight.
The electricity is generated aboard
ship. The search light is not pointed up
ward as the waste carbon would drop
into the reflector, but it rests horizon
tally while a mirror is placed at an
angle of forty five degrees to throw the
light upward. This will be the first light
of its kind ever placed at sea as marin
er's beacon, and it is expected it will be
visible forty miles off shore.
Demonstration of success of the new
system will probably result in its extern
tion to Fire Island, Sandy Hook, Nam
tucket Shoals and other light stations
equipped with electrical apparatus.
The chief element in the promised
effectiveness of the search-light lies in
the fact that the light vessel is never at
rest and the beam will sway in a varying
angle. Among other light and luminous
effects, from whatever cause. it will al
ways be distinguishable. Low lying
clouds will also be Illuminated.

TO FIGHT THE DUKES.
British Tobacco Concerns Combine to Fight tbs
American Company.

London cable, 11th to New Orleans
Times Democracy. \
Thirteen British tobacco firms, which
have combined to fight Mr.. Duke and
his American invaders, are apparently
preparing to come to close grips. The
contest must be serious and perhaps
disastrous for them. Recognizing that
this is so, their intention now is to call
in the public to bear the brunt of the
war, relying upon the past prosperity
of the business as the inducement to in
vestors to respond. The Imperial Tobacco
Company may be expected to be float
ed about the end of next week. It's share
capital will be divided into four classes.
There will be debentures amounting to
e. 100000 at Az per cent; G5,000,000 in
preference shares at 51a per cent:
G5,000 600 ordinary shares, and
G5,000,000 in ordinary preference shares,
The purchase price is approximately
915, 100000. The federation's firms will
take 100000 900 of ordinary deferred
shares. The payment for good will, stock,
assets, ETC., is put by valuation at G15,-
900, 900. The vendors will take two thirds
payment in cash and the remainder in
shares, leaving the working capital at
Ell, 100000. Sir William Henry Willis,
head of the great Bristol tobacco firm
will be chairman and Harry Willis,
head of its export department, chief
manager.
Duke is now perhaps more interest
ing figure to British business men than
Carnegie, Rockefeller or even Morgan.
His enterprise pleases many his nerve
appeals to them, and his audacity de-
lights them. They await his campaign
with stern joy, but his discretion or
foresight they deny. They will try to
make of him an object lesson that his
compatrots will not soon forget, and
intend to hang up the carcass of the
American Tobacco Company as a per-
petual scarecroW to every sister indus
try that aspires to capture the British
market. Englishmen expect Americans
to replace them in the worlds markets
in many lines, but not in ENGLAND. This,
they say, the Americans cannot do. They
intend to teach Cousin Jonathan his
limitations.
What gives the approaching duel wide
significance is that it will be fighting
fire with fire: Whenever a new trust
knocks at their doors Englishmen pro-
pose to form a trust in the same indus
try to meet it. The first battle of inter
national trusts is dawnng, and some in
Stirring fights arc ahead for the crusad-
ing American tobacco enterprise, as Ger
man and Russian tobacconists are pre-
pairing to initiate the English.
