Extent Relieves the Sit

(Bv the Associated Press.)

Wilmington, n. c., May 1.-Two
days of rain throughout the trucking
belt of Eastern North Carolina have
only partially relieved a situation
which very seriously threatens straw
berry growers with loss of at least u
portion of their crops by reason of a
famine of refrigerator cars. For four
days shipments of berries have been
piling up at the various railway sta
tons, but the supply of cars has been
totally inadequate to move them. 1t
is estimated that south of Wilmington
on the Wilmington, Columbia q Au-
guSta division of the Atlantic Coast
Line at least 100000 crates of fruit
are awaiting shipment and that much
of it has already moulded. At Chad
bourn, n. c., alone, forty cars await
removal
The Truckers Association in behalf
Of the growers has placed in the hands
of its attorneys claims aggregating
nearly 100000 for damages against
the transportation lines for alleged
failure TO move the shipments accord
ing to contract with the Armour Re-
frigeratOr Line. The trouble is said to
be beyond the Atlantic Coast Line in
delay Of returning empties from con-
Meeting lines. With the rain today
and yesterday the fruit has not rip
ened SO rapidly and the transporter
ton companies expect to relieve the
situation in the meantime.

suit fatally. Joe Roberts, of this city,

Roberts, of writing to his wife, ana
when the accused man denied the
charge, the accuser drew his pistol
and began TO shoot, firing five times,
four balls taking effect
Another story is that Joe Roberts,
who recently moved to Creedmoor
from Durham had not been living as
he should, and that Mrs. Lucius Rob
ertS wrote to Mrs. Joe Roberts, telling
her that her husband was notleading
the proper kind of life. This letter,
it is said, caused Joe Roberts to leave
here this morning for Creedmoor to
avcngc what he thought was a gronw.

writing Lucius denied the charge and
started to walk away. 1t was then
that the shooting began.

"We may boldly say that without
the railroads three-quarters of the i'm
mense territory of the United States,
situated too far from the sea and haV-
ing insufficient communication by
rivers or lakes, would be still almost
deserts, and would not play in the
