By reason of negligence of the Armour
Refrigerator Car Trusts negligence, straw
berry growers of North and South Carolina
have lost their strawberry crop, valued at
S1,000,000. Indeed, it was worse than lost,
because the expense of picking, Grating and
hauling to station had been incurred, only
to find that the carrying companies had
made insufficient or no provision for NOV
ing the crop. 1t seems agents for the car
companies had been over the States and
knew the condition of the crop, and the car
needs yet made little PREPARATION to move it.
ssIt's an outrage that such conditions are
allowed to exist said representative of
c. Wilkinson & Co., large Dock street,
commission house. 1.-THE Car Trusts East
ern agent, /. NJ. Fleming, of Atlanta, was
we'll posted on the outlook for a large crop
and had promised plenty of cars. Instead
only 900 out Of the 90, 600 cars belonging to
the company were sent to the berry belt
OF course these exhausted in few day and
and hundreds of carloads Of berries were
allowed to rot on the platfoms at Whining
ton, Cerro Gordon, Rose Hill and other ship
ping centres for the district AS each car
load is valued at $500, it is easy to figure
loss The berries which do arrive are al
most worthless aud spoil in twenty -four
hours
Every commission house on Second, Front
and Dock streets which handles berries con-
frmed the statement Of Mr.. Wilkinson
''It's only repetition of the Georgia
peach crop scandal of last year" said
another commission merchant, the Allan
tic Coast Line has bound itself to use only
Armour refrigerating cars, and now it can't
get the cars The Pennsylvania Railroad
won't help out, as it is frightened the Ar
mour people, so there you are, the farmers
and the commission pay the piper while the
big fellows scrap it out between them
selves
"Even the express companies are bring
ing ther shipments in twenty-four hours
late, = said J. Fl. Hewett, of Second and
Dock streets and the berries are practi-
cally worthless. / refused over half my
consignment this morning and the others
are hardly fit to sell. Southern beans and
peas are also in bad shape. The railroad
should repudiate its contract with the Ar
mour people and let in the independent
refrigerating lines; that would relieve the
congestion. But it is hardly likely they
will, and see no relief in sight
And yet, the man who advocates Govern
ment ownership Of railroads is an anarch-
list.

There is one argument in favor of the
eight hour day that social economists often
overlook Modern machinery has increased
output to degree undreamed of decade
ago. The result is that vast stocks of goods
are accumulated in certain seasons of indus
trial depression that lasts until these vast
stocks are sold. The shortening of the
work day will have the effect Of providing
employment for more wage earners, and to
that extent lessening the liability of lack of
employment. Labor unions are not advo-
eating the eight-hour day for the sole pur
pose Of securing shorter hours for those who
work; they are striving to find employment
for those who have no hours to work.
The Constitution yesterday made formal
announcement of the candidacy of Hon. j.

understood that Mr.. Avis opponent before
the nominating convention will be Mr.. Geo.
w. F. Gaunt, of Harrison township, man
of general acquaintance in the county, and
throughout the State by reason of the high
position he so worthily fills in the Grange.
Mr.. Gaunt is a man of engaging manners
and possessed of strong personality. With
two candidates so evenly matched the Re-
publicans of Gloucester county will have
no reason to complain of a dull season, or a
lack of prosperity.
Mr.. Avis running mate for Sheriff will
be Freebooter Chas. wilson, of Woolwich,
