Figures don't err and the report OF
the harbOr master for the year ended
on March 31st shows that the number
of vessels that arrived at this port dur
ing the year and the total tonnage
have been considerably in excess Of the
previous year. This fact is most graft
flying to those who have the welfare
of the port at heart and who are glad
to see Wilmington not only sustaining
her position as one of the leading
ports on the South Atlantic coast, but
rapidly forging to the front and gain
ing in business more rapidly than The
other southern ports. Never in the
history of the port has the shipping
business been as great as during the
past year. .
Just three less than three hundred
. vessels visited this port during the past
year or nearly a vessel every day. The
total tonnage of all the vessels COM
bined was 319,331 and for the previous
year the total tonnage was 276,5O7 and
the numberof vessels 264. This shows
an increase of 81 vessels and a gain Of
1854 tons. This is a considerable
gain and shows whether the port is
going forward or backward.
The vessels that nave arrived during
the past year are as follows:
American Fessels-Steamships. 100
with tonnage Of 149, 726; barks, 4, tom
mage 2,734; briggs, 2, tonnage 62G;
.<baTges, 10. tonnage 1906; .schocners,
113, tonnae 46,232, making a total of
235 vessels and tonnage 216,S14.
Foreign-Steamships, 80, tonnage
90, 1913; barks, ;, tonnage 1856; brig, 1,
Image 1919; ~scchOOners, 2 tonnage
5; ship, l, tonnage 1881, making to-
of GO foreign vessels and tonnage
102.517.
! is interesting 10 note that during
= month of March IS schOOnerS visit
~ this port against Z in March 1905
9 in March 1904. The port has
le forward as never before since it
s. made an open port. The business
IN were confident that if this was
lDade an open port that the port would
at once take on new life and it is being
shown every day that they were cor
rect in their ideas.

STILL ON ANXIOUS BENCH
Farmers Watch Weather Reports
With Much Concern
frost Was Predicted for Last Night.
Practically No Damage Done TO the
Berry Crop Up to Yesterday-Re-
cent Cold Weather Damaged Berries
Around Charleston.

Many is the time in the spring that
the weather man strikes terror into
the hearts of the farmers and especial
ly in the truck growing belt. Jus.
one week ago there was a cold wave
that swept over the entire south and
in Georgia did great damage but ow-
ing to the crops not being so far al
RANGED il this section practically no
damage was done.
The week just ended has been warm
and pleasant and the buds have pee
gun to burst out and now the weather
man comes along predicting cool
weather. A bulletin was issued yes
terday saying there would be frost last
night. The air did get right chilly,
but it is not believed that truck was
damaged. Whenever there is a frost
though 1t means that some DAMAGE
is done the berries by causing blooms to
fall off. Unless very far advanced he
berries are not so susceptible to cold.
Indications are for a fine berry crop,
and it would indeed be unfortunate for
the crops should be damaged to any
great extent.
In commenting on the recent cCoi
weather and the effects on the berry
crop, the Carolina Fruit and Truck
Growers Journal says:
There was no serious damage 70
strawberries in either Of the CarOIilas
although in and around Charleston ard
Youngs Island many blooms were kill
ed n the crop set back several days.
In the North Carolina district, now
ever, the fields are whitening with
blooms, and no damage to speak of
was inflicted upon the strawberry crop
by the last cold spell and frosts. On
the contrary the weather during the
past three weeks has been practically
ideal for Strawberries. In other words
the weather has been cold enough 70
prevent premature vegetation, and be-
sides has more or less hardened and
tOughened the vines with which to en-
able them to stand the cold snaps that
usually comes this way in April. Thus
the blooming seasO will be held back
20 the proper time and the shedding
of blossoms from this cause will be
happily minifized and a large crop OF
berries insured. Cold wave damages
will now be guarded against when and
wherever possible until the crop IS
made. 1t daily becomes more apparent
that the present crop is going to be 2
large one. This apinion is shared in
and supported by commission mer-
chants who have been all owe the
territory and report to this Office"

INCREASE IN POSTAL RECEIPTS
The Past Year Shows Increase From
SCI 900 to SS1. OOO-Greaest Increase
for Any One Year in the History O
the Office.

No better indication of the growth
of a city can be found than the in
crease in the receipts at the post Of
flee. During the past year every bust
ness in this city has advanced and
along with the general advancement
the post office receipts show all
enormous increase, greater than for
any previous year.
Yesterday vas the end Of the postal
year and the receipts fere SS1,7SS.41
against S64, 71O.36 for the previous OF
a gain of S17,O7S.O5, of 20 40 per cent
This is indeed a large increase and no
previous year can compare with it.
For the month Of March the receipts
Were $~9,216.36, against Sc, 0 rs for the
previous year, making a gain Of 3d.
0OS.5S. Or As 4-10 per cent. The receipts
for the quarter were s23,473.21 against
s1S,250.43, a gain of S5,222.7S, or % and
clio per cent.
The great increase in the receipts
shows the business done at this office,
and is a strong argument in favor
of increasing the present post Office
facilities which at the present time are
entirey inadequate, when a season Of
the year arrives when there is any
great increase in business over the or
linary business. Last Christmas the
Office was so crowded that the men
Were greatly handicapped and all tbs
time they are more or less crowded.
This is a matter the people Of VIII
bington should aid Postmaster Wallace
in. In most of the other towns when
an appropriation is desired for a public
building a committee is sem to WASH
ington to urge the claims of the towns
and this often aids wonderfully in get
ting what is desired

Excitement is running rather high
in Elliott county, Kentucky, over me
prospective opening of a diamond field
there. Recently several stones pro-
nounced by experts to be diamonds of
pure water have been discovered, and
experts have given the opinion that
the deposit will be found exceptionally
rich. A diamond operator from South
Africa recently visited Elliott county
and said the character of the soil and
