AS the berry season advances.
the growers are beginning to feel
rather discouraged at the yield Of the

hat berries are reaching the market
in poor shape. While the NOiun oil
the shipments has kept up to a pretty
fair average, the result at the o-ncr
end" have not been what they sh ould
and receivers are complaining Of EMP
ments in bad order.
The maturing and c~u1tivating Sc aSon
seems to ave been such that the 3r,-
ries this season do not ship as wei DIS
formerly and many Of them get t. tn,
Northern markets in bad order with
the result that the prices are far from
satisfactory. Formerly the East Car
Olina Truck and Fruits Growers Ls>p-
citation had a system Of inspection iO
all the leading markets North ulder
which a representative Of the grove
was on the spot to check shipments
and have been in a position to reDor
back with the result that any abuses
are corrected. but owing TO the ta,1re
of the it has been impossible
to have these representa- ives on tn
spot this season and all shipments are
entirely at the mercy OF the cOmcnIs-
sion men and the grower has nc way
Of knowing whether the facts are IS
stated or whether he is gettir@ p

ness Agent Bauman is, of cours=, II
the junction office at Rocky Mount to
look after the re-icing and the prompt
forwarding of cars from that point
and he advises that the movement this
year has been the best in years, bUt
still the returns to the roWer in al

as unsatisfactory.
Yesterday the movement through

Vt is hoped that before tn" neNt

former organizations may be restored
and that the growers will have -
more accurate check upOn receipts IN
the leading markets. which seem this
year to have gone all to pieces.

TOBACCO MAN FAIL TO COME

(Special TO News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
SornerNil}e, \. j., May 8.-After
waiting several months in a vain hope
that James e. Duke would donate a
statue for the dome of Somerset coun-
tvs new 100000 White marble court
house, the building committee yester-
day had a metal figure Of Justice
placed on the dome at the expense OF
the county.
More than q year ago Mr.. Duke eX-
pressed 3 desire to give a few thOus-
and dollars toward the furnishings of
the new court house. Mr.. Dukes
ofer was overlooked until after the
furnishings had been bought at the
expense of the county. In view Of
this unintentional slight. William ].
Logan. chairman of the building COM
mittee. was commissioned to suggest
to Mr.. Duke that a statue for the
dome would be appreciated.
Mr.. Logan sent Mr.. Duke a blue
print Of the proposed statue, and also
a letter. offering him the honor Of
placing the figure IN the court house.
Mr.. Duke failed to respond. and his
change of heart is attributed by the
building committee to the fact that
since he made his first offer the coun-
tE board of taxation has raised the
taxes on the tobacco king higher than
the 0orae Of the court house.

with promised gifts because they are
dlrtaGN very rich.
Put While such is the case with our
institutions Of learning, their cOndi-
ton is not so nearly hopeless as to
justify despair concerning them, or to
eNcus a mendicant attitude towards
this General Education Board" to
save them. They are quite able to
maintain themselves in an attitude Of
serene independence Of The General
Education Board.' the Carnegie
Foundation and all their allies.
In the South. the colleges and uni
NersitieS for white students, not to
mention our secondary schools and
tie colleges for negroes, are worth
above $40 900, 900. h large sum
has been accumulated in the main
since the war, and it has come from
the contributions made by our own
people struggling with their poverty,
and from the gifts of such noble men
as George ]. Seney and Others of like
mind. who came to our help without
attaching humiliating conditions to
their generous donations. or seeking
to dominate our institutions by the
methods of giving. We cannot hope
to receive from his General due
ton Board any o comparable
with what we now have in our own
right and which we administer with
out impertinent direction from with
out. Why should we allow the small
er investment of The General Educa-
ton Board to determine the direction
OF the larger amount which we al
ready have? Shall a minority stock
holder assume airs of superiority and
undertake to tell us what curse shall
be followed in the administration Of
our educational funds? Shall we not
say to m who approaches us with a
little Wad of money n a big amount
of authority, Your non perish
with you; we are a%bundantly able to
AXE care Of our own affairs?"
The whole attitude of The General
Education Board towards the author

is one Of 0iStruSt. Trustees and facul-

hence the Boards complex conditions

A ROMANCE AMONG PAINTINGS
Rival Collectors Join Hearts and
Their Fine Works -
Art.

Few people who have visited the exhibit
Of paintings at Brandeis store during the
last week are aware OF a pretty romance
surrounding them. These pictures are part of
a collection owned by Mr.. and Mrs Phil
ippe Fontaine and il was their mutual love
for paintings and their pride in their art
treasures that brought these two reople
together and made Il possible 10 combine
two valuable art collections.
The romance began several years ago
when Mr.. Fontaine had just returned from
a long service in Egypt, as consul general.
a post to which he had been assigned by
President Benjamin Harrison. Mrs. Fon-
taine was then living in Boston. where,
through the death OF her father, she found
herself heir to the valuable Thall collection
OF paintings. which she treasured almos;
as much as her life. II was in Boston that
Mr.. Fontaine met her and in their mutua
love Of art there sprung up a friendship
h eliminated In marriage.
After that" said Mr.. Fontaine. I'VE
decided 20 exhibit the paintings and have
made Il a business proposition. A meTcen-
AIRY interest Is not all we have. for We
believe hat we help some to create a love
for good paintings. We hope soon to gC
home to Boston and collect all our paint
lngs where we can enjoy tnem. and live.
