North Caroliia Humorist
Whatever appears from the pen of
Henry Blount is generally quoted in
many papers and' talked about among
the people, j His ideas are original, his
style belongs : to no other man, his
phrase-coloring is rich and radiant.
Whatever he says through the press
or on the platform is unique. It is
like himself. He is a refreshing indi
vidualist. Many people will hear him
for the first time Tuesday night in his
"Festival of Fan" at the lecture room
Of the First Baptist church. CoL A.
M. Waddell will introduce him. Mr.
Blount will be the guest of Mr. W. B.

Depredatioi Upon Flower Yards.
There is a good deal of complaint
among those who have flowers in their
front yards at the deprediationa of boys
who persist in taking the risk of being
arrested and punished for larceny by
stealing the flowers. This is, of course,
the result of thoughtlessness on the
part of many of the boys; but this does
not lessen the exasperating effect on
the owners of the flowers, and the
boys will find out after a time that
it is better to ask for the gift of a rose
than to steal one.

Enthusiastic Fourth Annual Meet

Association.
THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
Afternoon and Nlrnt Sessions Were Busy
With Important Matters Reports
from All the Departments Were
Most Gratifying.
Produce men from the four corners
of the earth were here yesterday in at
tendance upon the fourth annual
meeting of the American Fruit and
Produce Travellers' Association which
was called to order at 3:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce by Presi
dent A. E. Makely, of J. H. Gail &
Co. , Buffalo. Other officers in attend
ance were Vice President 8. S Sudler,
representing J. F. Littlefleld ' & Co.,
Baltimore, and the capable and popu
lar secretary and treasurer of the or
ganization, Mr. J. R Franklin, of the
firm of. Sterling & Franklin, Balti
more. The number or members pres
ent was between 75 and 100 and the
session both in the afternoon and
another last night were fraught with
much pleasure and profit for the
large number in attendance.
The afternoon session was given
over entirely to the hearing of annual
reports of officers and committees, all
of which showed a substantial increase
in the scope and influence of the As
sociation during the past fiscal year.
There was also a discussion of a num
ber of subjects of a private and execu
tive character, which do not interest
the general public.
At last night's session the following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year:
President R. W. Collins. Philadel
phia, with J. P. Wilson.
Vice President U. V. Ll. Browne,
Pittsburg, with A. M. Travis.
Sergeant-at-Arms Gh W. Waller,
Philadelphia.
Secretary and Treasurer J. R.
Franklin, Baltimore, with Sterling &
Franklin.
The election of Mr. Franklin as
secretary and treasurer was for the
fourth consecutive year and the honor
is one worthily bestowed. He is one
of the firm of Sterling & Franklin,
general commission merchants, at 27
East Pratt Street, Baltimore, and his
house handles about two-thirds of the
truck shipments from this vicinity to
Baltimore. Mr. Sterling his partner,
remains in this territory during the
entire season.
As a testimonial of the esteem in
which Mr. Franklin is held by mem
bers of the Association, he was pres
ented upon his re-election last night
with a handsome gold inlaid "Frank
lin" fountain pen. The presentation
speech was made by Mr. J. G. Thomp
son, of Philadelphia, and to his re
marks Mr. Franklin responded most
appropriately.
The remainder of last night's session
of the Association was mainly taken
up with a general business discussion
of no particular interest to the public.
The president will announce later
the standing committees for the ensu
ing year.
At the last meeting of the National
League of Commission Merchants the
travellers! association was strongly
endorsed and all commission men
were urged to join it.
The session just closed was one of
the largest and most enthusiastic ever
held.

able to score against the
Professionals at Hilton Park
yesterday afternoon though
several opportunities were
presented and lost at the last
moment. The score was 8
to 0 but the plucky school boys came
in each inning full of courage and died
decidedly game.
The nearest approach to a scare for
the Amateurs was in the fourth inning
when with one j man down, Mclntire
made a pretty two-base hit and Wat
son followed with a single. Brandt,
for the Professionals, at this stage,
however, settled down, fanned Wes-
cott and made Mattheson pop out to
third.
The League team began the run-get
ting in the second inning. Brandt flew
out to Mattheson in a pretty catch for
the amateurs at third. Brojrn singled
to centre, but was forced at second by
Miller. Captain Henry then made a
pretty two-hase hit to right, scoring
Miller. McCann flew out on another
sensational catch of Mattheson-at third.
In the third Lattin hit to centre; Vil
leneuve went to right and stole second;
McGinnis drew four balls and Dom
mell cleared the bases on a beautiful
three bagger to left Brandt fouled
out to third and Brown singled to left.

the agony by flying to third.
In the seventh the Leaguers added
two more runs on a single by Dom
mell, long two-base hit by Brandt, a
pass to Brown and an error by Fisher.
In the ninth Dommell made his
fourth hit out of five.times up; Brandt
drew a pasalandj Brown scored Dom
mell and Brandt on a two-bagger.
Brown was caughtjoflf third by Mcln

on the slab for the remainder of the
contest. Dunn and Mattheson were

STRAWBERRY MOVEMENT
BEGINNING IN EARNEST.
One Thousand Crates from Wilmington
and Weldon Road Yesterday Two i
Cars from Chadbonrn.
&One thousand crates of strawberries
were shipped from points along the
W. & W. railroad yesterday in addi-
I tion to good shipments from along the
A. & Y. and W. O. & A. roads. The
heaviest shipments from any one
point up the Wilmington & Weldon
railroad was 251 crates from Teachey's.
The Fruit Growers' Express sent out
three refrigerator cars from Wilming
ton yesterday morning and besides
these the Southern Express Company
! did a large business in the luscious
fruit. :
A special to the Stab last night
from Chad bourn said that two refrig
erator car loads went forward from
that point alone yesterday.
This week will witness tremendous
activity throughout the entire straw
berry belt. Extra trains will begin
running by the middle of the week
and thousands and thousands of
crates of berries will be rushed to the
North. The prices thus far have been
very good indeed and the prospects
remain very bright for the most suc
cessful season in the history of the
trucking industry in this section.
Ho! For The "Rocks."
Local "piscatorialists" will be inter
ested in the announcement that Capt.
Jno. W. Harper, of the steamer
Wilmington, has built a nice wharf
at the "Rocks" and during the Sum
mer months and fishing season will
make regular stops at the same with
the steamer. It will afford a splendid
opportunity for a capital day's fishing
and Capt. Harper says a number of
piscatorialists have already organized
themselves into an "Annanias Club"
and will build headquarters near the
