Brooks, a white man from South Carolina, was before Justice Fowler yesterday for disorderly con duct. He was arrested Tuesday after noon on South Front street, near Orange, and was so drunk and very boisterous that he had to be com mitted until he was sober enough for tiial. He stated at the hearing that he was an inmate of a poor house in Ms native State and that he had been furnished by the authorities of that institution witu a ticket, to Wilmington and $7 cash for incidental expenses. It appears with the latter amount he had purchased a liberal amount of intoxicating fined as stated above, and this ii why he came to grief. Jastice Fowler fined him $5 or thirty days imprraonmnt. He gladly accepted the latter proposition, but upon findiag that he would be re quired to work on the public roads, he replied that he had rather return to his South Carolina home, if he should be allowed, Which he did, leaving the city as stipulated by the court at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. May Locate Here. Mr. J.

He says that he is favorably impressed with Wilmington as an ideal place for the location of such a store and thinks it more than probable that about October 1st., a company of business men, of which he is president, will open business somewhere in the business portion of the city. He says the proposed'store will occupy as much space and will be as eligibly located as any retail dry goods store in the city and will be conducted on strictly up-to-date principles. He spent the day yesterday conferring with real estate men as to the rental of a store and re turned to his home last evening. Grace Epworth Leaf ne.

Hill Before the Truck and Fruf( Growers' Association. THE TRUCKING SITUATION. neaas lot.Uoited Action and Aa Aeizres- s slve Policy Business Transacted in lhe Stockholders Meeting ON fleers for Ensuing Year. It was noon yesterjday when President W. L. Hill -called the stockholders of the East Carolina Truckand Fruit Growers' Association to order for the third annual meeting. There were 680 shares of stocK repre sented in person and by proxy. y The first regular feature of business after the organization and canvass of stock, was the President's address R9v. N. M. Jurney presided while President Hill delivered his "address, which was able and comprehensive. Space willnot admit of the publication of the entire address. -He said, in part ; Fellow Stockholders of the East Caro lina Truck and Fruit Groicers' As sociation:' ' We stand the latest, and if we fail, the last experiment of a farmers' or truckers' organization in -North Caro lina. The object for which our Associa was founded is mutual protection and advancement of its members in the trucking and fruit growing busi ness. Through this organization transportation has been . reduced both by the Refrigerator and Express Com panies and the volume of business in creased to such an extent that it over taxed the capacity of the C. F. T. cars even though supplemented by the C. F. X. cars, not to speak of the mul tiplicity of trains furnished by the Atlantic Coast Line this season to do the business. Still this year has been the most disastrous to the strawberry growers along the line of the W. & W. road in the history of the berry business- They have lost money almost without exception, owing to several causes. In the first place the increase was sufficient to glut every market used for berries both in the North and West and in every other market that the fertile imagination of our capable and painstaking shipping master could introduce our berries. Then there was the snow in March which covered the berries and injured the early crop; then when shipments began, hail storms and floods of rain fell and in jured4he berries to such an extent that part or tnem coula not 09 got ten to market in good condi tion hence, low prices prevailed and the demand fell oS for ber ries from this .section. Finally, when the weather got settled and fine berries were produced, shipments were pour ing into the markets from Virginia and j Maryland and over-production capped the climax, running prices so low that it did not pay to market the berries from this section, and such ber ries at that, that had in previous years made such rapid strides in the estima tion of the public at large that they relegated all other fruits to the rear, selling at a price within reach of the masses and very often beyond their in trinsic value. But the bad weather and the overproduction were not the only disturbing factors that brought about, such disastrous results to our people. The transportation and re frigerator companies had also much to do with the low prices, that came so near bankrupting so many of our growers, notwithstanding the assidu ous efforts made in advance- by the general manager and traffic depart ment of the Atlantic Coast Line to forestall against -such emergencies; and, furthermore, a written guarantee from the president of the Wilmington and Weldon road, as to good service on the part of the, C. F. T. Company when the questionof insolvency was sug gested By your executive committee. The delays of the trains in transit often necessitated a sale after the reg ular market hours in the Northern cities, and then, too, the con signees were forced to receive these berries, unloaded at that in tne miuuie or me . aay, wmcn caused quantities of them to sell for barely freight charges, and nothing to be returned to the growers after their year of arduous toil. Whether the railroad company will reimburse the shippers for the losses occasioned by such delays some times a day late in reaching their destination, I refer you to our attorney'. Judge W. R. Allen, and if upon investigation he finds that your cause is merito rious then go into court and re dress your grievance at once (if It can't oe settled otherwise). ., The strawberry shipments this sea son have been about 300,000 crates on this road alone and at least one-third . J of the crop left on the vines; and the XnompsOQ uorry wuitu iu iuo wok111 ning promised so much, has proven only a blessing to the railroads and the pickers, But the growers (unless they are in good standing with Provi dence and I escape wet or rainy sea sons) must necessarily get other varie ties with better carrying qualities in order to continue in the strawberry business. Another lesson we are taught . is the great necessity of our people engaging in other branches of the trucking business. There has been some intimation of discord in j our ranks; the danger menaces us even now; but the intelli gence of this body must and will avert it it must teach us and teach you that our safety, that the common safety of all, alike forbids any di vision in our ranks. And as you Value your financial interests which now hangs on a thread in the present state of affairs, I entreat you to stand together and let no little bickering or strife endanger our cause. United, we accomplish something for our selves and our children and will yet prove to the management of the At' lantic Coast! Line, the Pennsyvania road and the refrigerator companies that we purpose to be their friends if thfiv will let us. but at the same time stand upon our rights as American citizens and especially as North Caro linians. ' . T T 1 Report of Directors. The report of the Board of Directors followed the president's address. The principal feature of this was a recom mendation that in future two or more refrigerator car lines be given acces to the territory of the association and that lower freight rates be insisted upon. Both of these recommenda- . tiona were subsequently adopted by the stockholders, the resolution regard ing the car service providing that one or more refrigerator car companies be allowed to operate and that freight WILMINGTON, N. 0., THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1899. rates be secured which wilT enable the truckers -of this section to compete successfully with other sections in marketing berries In Western and Eastern, cities. Therewas"a general discussion of the business and methods of the Asso ciation which, while it developed at times rather harsh and angry com ments, resulted, nevertheless, in the Association's good, terminating in a better understanding between officers and stockholders. Secretary C. M." Steinmetz and Treasurer S. H. Strange submitted" their reports, which were received. The stockholders adjourned subject to the call of the Director! after electing the following Board of Directors: , i Dr.G.F. Lucas, Currie ;S.H. Strange, Fayetteville; Dr. E. Porter, Rocky Point; O.

To S.L-'Paasenger Depot Will be Com pleted by SaturdayExcellent Ac commodation Will be Furnished. J Work on the Carolina Central depot extension of the street railway system for the past week has been pushed to the utmost extent, and it is now an nounced that cars will be in operation on the new line next Saturday. , .. The new track is being laid from the belt line on Fourth street down Brunswck toNutt and thence to the S. A. L. passenger depot. ! The grading of the new line has al ready been completed to the intersec tion of Front with Brunswick street, and the work of track laying has been completed to Second street. ; Chief Lineman W. B. Savage is also busy in suspending, the trolleynre, and al ready has the yieork well under way. The original intention of the com pany was to make this extension pnly a branch line of the system and to provide a separate car. requiring a transfer at Fourth and Brunswick streets for passengers on this switch, but it is now the announced purpose of the Street Railway Company io make this a part of the regular belt, requiring no transfer and to convert the remainder of the old line from Brunswick street to the terminu3 of Nixon street into a switch with separ ate car accommodations connecting at Brunswick street with cars to and from the S. A. L. depot, j Of course it is understood that on the occasion of base ball game3 and other attractions at Hilton Park, the S. A. L. extension can easily be tern .porarily converted with the branch line and cars run through to Hilton without delay or transfer. - It is useless to say that passengers along the' line j of the Seaboard Air Line . j will greatly appreciate this movement on the part of the Street Railway Company to provide them with first-class ! car accommodations and will show their appreciations of the same by a liberal patronage from .the very start.
