Not So Heavy As Expected About 3,500 Crates by Express and C. F. T. Cars! : First Green Peas. J Strawberry shipments from this city and section were not as large yester day as was expected, the shortage being due largely to the rather "cold fain which interfered both with the ripening and 'gathering of the ber ries. However, both the Southern Express and C. - F. IT. special trains went up the W. & W. road, ac cording to the announcement made in yesterday's Stab. The Express Co. sent out seven extra cars and handled upwards of 2,000 crates and the C. F. T. Company shipped about 1,200 crates. Four refrigerator ; cars were used and a quantity was also shipped by open freight. - j - Manager C. W. Woodward, of the C. F. T., Co. returned from a trip up -the W. & W. road last night and told a Stab reporter that the rain yesterdayaf ternoon extended as far as Mount Olive and will prove a further check to berry shipments. A severe fall of hail at several points along the road also caused considerable damage -to berries as well as other crops. He could, however,, form no idea as to the; extent of the damage sustained by the truckers. ;' j A Star reporter was informed by a gentleman from Rocky Point last night that considerable damage was done to the strawberry crop at that place by the hail storm which he said extended to Faison and Mount Olive.

Winstead's confec tionery store, on Second street '.was taken into custody by Sheriff MacRae yesterday afternoon on a warrant from Justice J. A. McAllister, of Lumberton, charging him with the' embezzlement of. $502 from Messrs. j W. L Linkhaw & Co., liverymen and dealers in horses and mules, of that town. Mr. Frank Gough, a - member of the firm of Messrs. Linkhaw & Co., was in the city yesterday to push the case. i k . Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy was employed as counsel for the prosecution and Herbert McClammy, Esq., is retained by Mr. Carter. The preliminary investigation will take place at Lumberton to-morrow, and Mr. Carter, with his attorney, will leave on the S. A. L. train this after noon to be present. It appears that Messrs. Linkhaw & Co. claim that Carter procured a num ber of horses and mules from the firm, promising to make - proper re turns for the same when sold, which, it is alleged, Carter failed to do and is at present indebted to, the firm to the amount stated. Mr. Carter, on the contrary, claims that the stock in question was pur chased outright from Messrs. link haw &Co., and that he is indebted to them in a small amount on open account only, f f Mr. Carter came to the city with his family in December last from White ville, in Columbus county, and is re siding on Third street, between Prin cess and Chesnut. He denies the charges preferred, and says that .the whole affair has grown out of a mis interpretation of the contract. - LIST OF LETTERS.
