Bruner, of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, has inaugurated a movement for a State Truck Fair to be held two days eacn at itaieign and Charlotte during the latter part of the month, and to work up interest in the enterprise he spent several dava last week at Golds boro, Faison; ; Newbern " and: other points and incidentally took a number of photographio- views and specimens for the Department. A letter has been addressed to quite a number of influential growers in this territory asking their co-operation in the Fair movement and point ing out to them that the 'object is to educate the people to some extent as to what is being done in the Eastern Carolina truck belt and to stimulate a market in the middle and western portions of the State for the products of the early eastern fields. The April bulletin of the Agricul tural Department deals largely with the trucking interest, and that some idea may be gained of the magnitude of shipments from ' this point, the Star prints from it the following con signments for last season is ; reported officially by Mr. T.

Richmond I Special Star Telegram, i Raleigh, N. C, May 13. Wil mington knocked Sutch and Person, two of Raleigh's brag pitchers, out of the box in three innings this afternoon. and piled up fifteen runs, much to the chagrin of more than six. hundred Ra leigh "rooters." Then 8tanley went in the box and goose egged Wilming ton for the remaining six innings and added four runs to the Raleigh side of the score, making nine against Wil mington's record of fifteen. The game was already won by Wil mington when Stanley went in the box. In addition to his splendid twist ing Stanley lined out two home runs. Manager Peschau says neither of Stanley's hits would have been a home run on any other diamond, however, both are generally pronounced by Ra leigh authorities as A. No. 1 home runs that would hold good anywhere. Manager Peschau attributes Wil mington's poor record in the last six innings to inferior grounds and Wil mington's unfamiliarity with them. The game generally was pronounced the poorest on both sides seen here this season. Probably the best work of the game was by Wilmington's outfielders, Al len, Delaney and McGinnis. There were bo special notabll plays by either team. Raleighj"rooters" claim that if Stan ley had pitched the entire game, Wil mington would not have scored at all. Far greater things were expected of both teams. SCORE BY INNINGS. 133456789 SB B .5 00100210914 6 .6 3 60000 00-15 163 Raleigh;....

Before about 1,200 enthusiasts this afternoon, Wilmington defeated Raleigh by the score of 15 to 9. Both Sutch and Person were batted out of the box in. the first three innings, but Wilmington could do nothing to Stanley delivery, failing to score after his substitution. Stanley's batting was also a feature. The Giants put up a clean and snappy game throughout. Some General Ball Notes. King Kelley exhausted his pitcher't staff on the Giants yesterday, but is did no good. "Staff," "Davy." VRed dy,,, "Tacks," "Mack" and the'Kid". are enough to put the best of them out of the business. The Raleigh "spiritualist," who had the premonition that the "Red Birds" would get all of the games this week, will please revise her prognostication and reflect over the game yesterday. A report was current on the streets last evening that Capt. "Bob" Staf ford had trouble, with Umpire Up church, either during or after, tbe game. Qur Raleigh correspondent assures us that there is no truth in the report. ' - Crockett made three runs yesterday out of , five times at bat, Stanley, for Raleigb, made four runs out of four 4SmA ot Hat "Reddy" Oranston made, an error vA-terdav. McGinnis and Warren did likewise, while nearly, every man of the "Red Birds" made one eacn. - Clayton had on his batting garments yesterday and the summary . shows Mm tin a three and a. two base hit," which were the only ones made by Wilmington. -. - - '. -. TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1901. . . . The averaere "fan" is anxious for the fray here day after to morrow and a thousand people will see the game. The bulletins yesterday afternoon were watched by large crowds at the store of the Fishblate Clothing Com pany. The bulletins will be received there again to day. ' "Tacks" Allen and Thackara may compose tne battery for the Giants to day. The Red Birds have a new twirler for Wilmington to-day. Capt. Stafford will not be in the game to-day but is expected to report back from Greensboro, where he has been called on business, in time for to-morrow's game. Games on Other Diamonds.

WERE WILD REPORTS Wilmington Excited Over Lurid Stories That Goldsboro Had geen Destroyed BY A SWEEPING CYCLONE. The Storm Sunday Night Wns Rather Se vere, But No Grest Loss Was Sus tained Telegraphic Communi cation Temporarily Cut Off . Goldsboro and its vicinity were visited by a very severe wind storm Sunday evening about 6 o'clock, but from best accounts the damage was slight and no loss of life resulted. The wildest rumors, were, afloat in Wilmington early yesterday morning with reference to the storm and,Jn. quiries at telegraph' and newspaper offices were very frequent by those who had friends or relatives in the supposedly stricken city. Uue rumor was that the entire city had tn swept away, the loss of life had been appalling and that a special train v-iih six surgeons aboard had gone to Goldsboro at 2 o'clock A. M. to ad minister to the injured. Inquiry from persons, who came in from Goldsboro on the 9:45 o'clock A. C. L. train yesterday morning, however, revealed the fact that while the storm was quite furious and lasted for about half an hour the stories afloat were much exaggerated. The wind attained a velocity of 40 or 50 miles an hour and was accompanied by torrents of rain and some hail, but the loss to property was small. The tin roof of ' Mrs. Dewey's residence was blown off ; the telegraph wires were down and several out houses were razed to the ground, but beyond this the effect of the storm was scarcely traceable afterwards. The city light ing plant was incapacitated for the night but was gotten in shape during the day. The A. C. L. sent out a special train from here very early in the morning to restore the telegraph service, whieh was soon all right and this probably accounts, with the fact that actual communication with the -city was cut off, for the exaggerated reports that were afloat. Mr. Z. W. Whitehead, who came in on the morning train, was asked as to the damage to truck by the storm, and he replied that beans were somewhat injured by being tossed bout by the blow, but other crops suffered little. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE. Hon. William G. Ewing Will Speak in Opera House Thursday Evening. The lecture by the Hon. William G. Ewing on the subject of Christian Science at the Opera House next Thurs day evening.
