Volume of Shipments This Sea son Are Much in Advance of Last Year. SOME OFFICIAL FIGURES. Carolina Pratt and Track Qrowera' Jour nal Gives a General View of the Situ ation Prospect for Veietable Production and Prices. : Shipping Master H. T. Bauman, of East Carolina Truck and Fruit Grow ers' Association, advises the "Carolina Fruit and Truck Growers' Journal," from South Rocky Mount, that, .the strawberry movement in refrigerator cars this season, up to and including May 8th, has been as follows: From the W. & W. Railroad, 685 cars'; from W., 0. & A. Railroad, Ohadbourn section, 598 cars; Florence-, Lake City and LaturSCL, section, 85 cars; A. & Y. Railroad, iTcars, or a total of 1,327 cars, against 1,173 cars for the entire movement last year. Commenting upon these figures the Journal in its issue of to-morrow will editorially say: "In addition to this it is safe to say. that the W. & W. R. R. will ship all through next week and some more or less shipments will go forward during the same time from points on the other divisions, sufficient to run the number of cars by the Fruit Growers' Express movement up to 1,500 at least Ship ments in fact will likely continue from different points in this territory up to the 35th. The express shipments also show a good, healtbv Increase in volume this year over last, though not quite so much as the increase by the refrigerator line or Fruit Growers' Express. Mr. Bucknerf the new sup erintendent for this territory, reports a very satisfactory season's operations for the Southern Express Company, however. Although the first shipment of berries did not yield such returns as the growers bad confidently looked forward to, nevertheless the season has been much longer than usual, and the total amount of business will be so largely in excess of last year that it is safe to say that fully as much money will be distributed down here among the growers as a whole for the 1903 crop as was received by them last year. Of,ourae the profits will not be so great to the producers, but where they have lost in one way they have In part made good the loss other wise. With anything like good prices for tne vegetable and potato crops, the growers will again bejn the addle" "The outlook is favorable for a good cantaloupe and melon crop, while blackberries have already begun to move, and the crop this year will be about up to the average for this variety of fruit in this section. The potato crop is improving very much as the season wears on under better weather conditions, and the same may be said of beans, cucumbers, squashes, beets and cauliflower. Many potato farmers, realizing that the crop has been cut short in the Savannah and Charleston sections below us and likewise In the Eastern Shore and tidewater sectional of Virginia above us, as well as through- out the great potato producing districts of the West and middle West, have b&en engaged several days now In the work of replanting potato fields, all or which will come along a little , later. In fact, it would seem from present in dications that the Irish potato crop in North Carolina will be about the largest in any part of the country, and is expected to yield the growers some very handsome returns. HacueDer- ries will be coming on a little later, also, although the crop this year will be very much snort of last year, we should say as much as 35 to 83 per cent. There will be a good many huckleberries, however, as the first re ports of damage by frost were some what exaggerated." RETURNED FROM BIG POW WOW. Wllmintton Representatives Back from Great Council of Red Men. Past Great Sachem W. H. Lane, Capt J. M. McGowao, Mr. E. P. H. Strunck and Mr. J. A. Dean have re turned from Washington, N.
