CHARLESTON CROP
SHOWS INCREASE
Fruit Being Marketed Better
Than Growers Had
Anticipated

situation in Charleston and Vineland is
showing up much better than the most
sanguine anticipated. Peaches, grapes
and other small fruits are coming into
market in greater quantities than the
dealers expected and Charleston and
Vneland will have to their credit a
larger expectation than was looked
for.
! A peculiar situation is that the vari-
Gus varieties that escaped injury by
the late frost are ripening so closely
together. Early and late kinds are
following one another so rapidly that
it is hard to be prepared for them.
There is also shortage of boxes
and crates. This shortage is interfer-
ing somewhat in the work of shipping,
but no serious damage is expected as
it is thought that the shortage will be
quickly relieved.
The quality, generally speaking is
not as high as in former years. This
! is attributed to the damage by frost.
Perhaps the peaches more than any
frost damage. Grapes are coming to
the market in good shape. The Mus
cats are of the highest quality and the
other varieties are choice.
The Charleston Commercial company
have shipped locally about 1000 boxes
of peaches and about the same number
of tomatoes.
The Muirs and Elbertas are about all
marketed. Late Crawfords are now
coming in and the quality is very good.
When the work of marketing has
been finished it will be shown that the
yield has been far ahead of all ex-
have cause to be pleased with the re-
turns of the year, Notwithstanding that
the outlook in the spring was far from
encouraging.
The bah game, played yesterday be-
tween the Charleston nine and the Gen
try show club, resulted in a complete
victory for the Charleston boys. The
score stood to 2 at the close of the
ninth inning. At no stage of the game
did the Gentry boys have a show to
win.
1t could not be said that the affair
was an exciting one as there was a
lack of ability on the part of the show
boys to make the game interesting for
the Charleston team.
The battery for the Charleston team
was Mcfarland and Lundstrum and
Weckmore and Ruthing did the hard
work for the show team.
G. F. Drummond and wife, both
practical printers, have accepted posi-
tions on the Charleston Republic in the
mechanical department.
The public schools show an increased
enrolment, so far this year, over that
of last year. There are great many
families still away from the city out
looking after the harvest and when all
these have returned, the enrolment
will show a decided increase.
The Charleston Republican has com
pleted the task of moving. The Re-
public will now issue from the Holl-
brook Elliot building on Main street,
where more suitable quarters will en-
able the Republic to serve it's patrons
better
