Great Waste of Berries.

Charlotte, N. c. Chadburn, N. C.
There has never been anything in the

road is hauling carload after carload
OF fine, but spoiled, berries to the river
and dumping them as so much gar
bage. The loss to the truck growers
Of this section will be at least $6OO,OCO
The fruit growers express company
has failed to supply the refrigerator
cars. The farmers are picking their
berries as rapidly as they can and
turning them over to the station agent
here, but the situation is growing
worse. The express company is held
responsible and claims for 100000
damages have been filed. More than
oe hundred northern commission men
are here ready and eager to pay from
81 to So crate for the berries, if they
could ship them.

successor as head of the postoffice
department in case he decides to re-
tire from public life. According to

been made, and Cortelyou's accept

Equitable can be reconciled to his
selection, so if the factions come to-
gether, the Postmaster General, it is
thought, will take the lob.

the mission on which Reddpch was
employed as specia agent Of the De-

one not authorized by Law, and, there
fore, any affidavit which he might
have made, even if t were false, does
