Mr.. W. S. Gavan, who visits the Diff
ferent truck growing states in the in
terest of c.. P. Tatum and Company,
large commission merchants Of Baltl-
more. is in the city. He went to East
Wilmington yesterday afternoon n
went over some of the truck farms
in that vicinity.
The truck farmers in this section
nave been somewhat gloomy over the
outlook but the news Mr.. Gavan
brought them was most encouraging.
He has just returned from Florida and
reports that the lettuce crops in that
state were practically destroyed by the
cold weather early in February. Mr..
Gavan on his yIa to Wilmington,
stopped over IN South Carolina
and he states that the truck
crops in hat state were destroyed
by the cold weather. He told the
truck farmers yesterday that never
before had they UGH an opportunity Of
reaping a rich harvest from their Lett
jtuce and beet crops as during the pres
! ent season. Lettuce and beets he says
| will bring fancy prices during the en-
| tire season.
The truck farmers are expectantly
looking forward to the fine prices they
| are going to get when they do put their
| crop on the market but they T ex-
tremely sorry that they ave none to
ship at the present time. Lettuce was
quoted yesterday at IS per basket, and
ordinarily at his time $500 per basket
| io annCi6orc6 a fancy nrioo and 60 M a
good price. The farmers do mot ex-
pect TO get $500 per basket but still,
according to Mr.. Gavan they will get
more than I'VE before.
The lettuce and beet crops this spring
are particularly fine. A leading truck
farmer stated yesterday afternoon that
the crop was much finer than last year
and that the acreage has been greatly
increased.
If there is another large strawberry
crop this spring, and there is every
prospect that there will be, eastern
North Carolina Will be thousands OF
dollars richer within the next 80 days
The first lettuce shipped from here
this season was shipped several days
ago by Mr.. r. c. kennedy to the flrn
he represents, S. s.. DarmOn, commits
sion merchants, Philadelphia. He re.
ceived a telegram yesterday stating
that the shipment had reached Phila.
delphia and that it was bringing $5.G(
per basket. This lettuce was shipps<
from the farm Of Mr.. r.. w. Smith, neal
Castle Haynes. MN. Kennedy said r.
told a truck farmer yesterday who ma.
e ght small beds and whose lettuce Il
nearly ready for shipment, that if h
could get his lettuce on the marke
within the next two weeks he woul,
clear him $1,000 on it.
Mr.. kennedy is Of the op nion tia
lettuce will not bring less than 5
when the season is at it's height ant
that the prices will be any where fron
s. to 81.

NEGRO WAS SHOT.
Passing Along the Street Fired at
Him.

Last night about II o'clock a negrt
who looked to be about IS years of
age appeared at the police station and
said Robert Odom had been shot. He
stated to Capt. N. J.. Williams that he
and Odom were in a yard at SIP Har-
nett street playing when some one
passing along the street fired, the ball
entering Odom's breast. He said
Odom told him to go after a doctor,
but he stated that he did not know
where to find one and thought he had
better tell the police.
h hospital was called up and the
ambulance sent for the boy, who was
about 10 old Upon examining the
wound, it was found that the bullet
had entered the left side Of his breast
fnjuring his lung and it is thought
that his heart is injured. The bullet
lodged near the base of the heart and
has not yet been removed. Advices
from the hospital last night were that
the negro was in a critical condition.

GROWTH OF ICE BUSINESS.
Now Over Is, 900 Tons of Ice Produc-
ed Daily in Southern States Against
500 Tons i'm 1885.

Mr.. VIM. E. Worth has returned
from Augusta where he attended the
annual meeting Of the Southern Ice
Exchange, which was in session
March Il to 16 inclusive.
Mr.. Worth was reelected secretary
and treasurer of the association, a po-
sition he has held for some time and
in which capacity he has been of much
service to the organization.
Mr.. Worth says they had a most
pleasant meeting. One of the most
enjoyable features of the meeting was
the annual banquet. Mr.. Worth show
ed us the menu card and it was GER
tainly beautiful and the bill of fare
was all that the most ~fastideous could
desire.
Pleasure was not the sole feature of
the meeting many matters of import
ance being discussed. One of the chief
matters discussed, was that of
securing is o transportation rates
as possible from the various railroad
sy stems in the south.
The growth Of the ice manufacture
ing business during the past few years
has beer wonderful.
In 1885 there was less than 500 tons
of ice produced daily in all the south
crn states. Today, leaving out Texas
there are $4,000 ons produced daily
during the summer. The introduction
of the ice machine, now representing
an invested capital of over $20,OOO,-
600, has resulted in the development
southern states, moving perishable
products last year of an estimated
value Of ver $3.50, O00, 900 against
nothing 20 years ago and is due en-
tirely to the introduction of the ice
machine and the cheap rates for ice.
The benefits that have accrued to the
IdiVidual, in the way of an abundance
of ice at a reasonable price cannot be
calculated.
The ice man. while profiting himself
in a degree, had been a public bene.
factor wherever he has located.
During the fall of 1904 in the south
ern states the production of ice daily
was the following number of tons:
District. of Columbia $40: West
Virginia 1900; Virginia 1,720:
North Carolina $50; South Carolina
Georgia 1926: Florida 1915:
Louisiana $3.50; Arkansas 1890; Ken
lucky 1850: Tennessee 1880. making
a total of 1880 tons of ice manufac-
tured per day.

As 20 Precedence at the White HOUSE
Presidents Happy idea

"Med4as1on bero Is worth q great
deal more than mediation after a
|strake,' said President Roosevelt to a
delegation OF labor representatives.
Yet there was TO mediation of the Hon.
Joseph G. Cannon's dinner grievances
until the third successive lockout had
followed the third successive strike.
THE President has finally compromised
overshadowing question Of Speaker
lship precedence by giving a special din
Iner to Mr.. Cannon at which there were
Eno Ambassadors. TO Cabinet officers and
mo Justices of the Supreme court to
Iclaim or appropriate higher rank
Previous TO Uncle Joe Cannon's day
1.-THE task OF feeding the Speaker Of the
House of Representatives at the Presi-
lideStial mahogany seems to have been
comparatively simple. As they were
mot residents of Vermilion county, H.,
Henry Clay and James K Polk and
Howell Cobb and Schuyler Colfax and
james G. Blaine and Samuel J. Randall
and john Ct. Carlisle and Thomas
fBrackeat Reed had crude, not to say
bourgeois, notions of the Speakers
Iclaims to social precedence. Some of
tthem no doubt were more concerned
about the cuisine than about their rank
at b table. Mr.. cannon a changed
all that. OF his own vigor he has ele-
waited himself to a social position sec
,ond only to the Presidents.
Now that Mr.. Roosevelt has hit upon
the happy expedient of giving a spe-
Icial dinner ITO Uncle Joe. he a give a
special reception to the Speaker next
winter, and another cf1asm of social ex-
Ic~lusiveness will have been bridged.
When the Hon Joseph G. Cannon,
latoired I'm beauty and a claw-hammer
Icoat goes to the White House, he goes
las a visiting monarch, as a coordinate,
i~co-equal % of Heaven, if you please,
land he is to be treated accordingly. If
There is etiquette TO contrary, it is
null and void. Uncle Joe Cannon is his
Town eiquette.-New York Post

OF the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company, has resigned, his resignation
has been accepted, and MIR. w. n.
Royal, general manager of the First
division, has been appointed to succeed
him and will enter upon his new duties
on April LIST.
Mr.. Kenny has filled THE dual position
of general nag and fourth vice
the latter position, with headquarters
in Wilmington. The intimate friends of
Mr.. Kenly rave known for some time
past that HE has been thinking Of re-
signing. He took this step ON account
Of 1.-THE increased responsibilities attach
ed Ito the position and also ON account
Of 1.-THE state of This health.
MIR. Kenly has been general mana ger
Of 1.-THE Atlantic Coast Lin for some
thing over ten years, having formerly
been uperintendent of transportation.
Since he became general manager, the
Coast Lime mas grown from a road OF
only small Importance Ito one of the
1eading railroad systems in the United
States. 1t has been a comparatively
small Der of years since THE oaS
Line emily extended from Richmond to
Charleston and now the road reaches
t., the most southern points of Florida
and has a large number Of branch lines
in each of the states through which tle
road runs, and 1T has been since Mr..
Kenly's term of office as general mana
ger that the Coast Line absorbed the
Plant System
Mn. John r. Kenly is a most conpe-
tent railroad man, as has been fully
demonstrated SINCE he has been cca-
aUected with the Coast Lime. Not only
has the read during n past ten years
Increased in mileage but 1T has paid.
WeN, a matter to be considered first in
a business enterprise.
Mr.. W. N Royal, tine successor Of
Mr. Kenly, began his career as a rail-
road man in this city ga years ago,
being telegraph operator fGr the Will
mington, Columbia and Augusta rail-
road. Latter he was tram dispatcher
at Florence for three years and After
leaving Florence was train. master of
the Columbia and Augusta. at Column
bia for three years.. For twenty years
Mr.. Royal was located at Charleston,
first as assistant superintendent and
then as superintendent of one of the
railroads running out Of Charleston,
which road was later absorbed by the
Atlantic Coast Line.
Mr.. Royal came to Wilmington Oh
July list, 1902. to assume the duties OF
general superintendent of the First
division of the Atlantic Coast Line. The
First division xtends from Richmond
| to Savannah
AS can be een from the above, MI.
Royal is thoroughly familiar with ev-
cry branch Of managing a railway
system from n eratO desk up TO
the position Of general manager, the
| position he u On April lst.
Being made general Of a rail-
road of the Importance of the Coast
Line, but shows the great confidence
the directors Of h system have in Mr..
Royal and the manner in which they
regard his ability. The directors
chose a worthy successor to Mr.. Kenly
and q man who is in every way compe-
tent to fill the position to which he has
been appointed.
The successor of Nh. Royal has not
yet been appointed and no animation
a been as to who it will be.
