As the strawberry season" advances, the growers are ; beginning to V leel rather discouraged at the yield of the crop, there being much complaint now that berrks are reaching t the : market in poor shape. While the Volume ' of the shipments has ikep up to a pret ty fair 'average, the results at "the other end" havo 'not been what they should and receivers are complaining rof shipments in bad order. - The maturing and cultivating sea son seems to Vave been such that the bsrries this season do not ship as well as formerly and many of them get to the Northerinrmarkets' in bad order with the result that.tbe prices are far from satisfactory. Formerly the . East Carolina Truck and Fruit Growers' Association had a system of inspection in all the leading markets North under which a representative of the grower was in the spot to check shipments and have been-in" a posi tion to report back with the result that any abuses are corrected, but owing to the failure of the revenue, it has been impossible to have these representatives on the spot this season and all shipments are entirely at; the mercy of the commission men and the grower has no way of knowing wheth er the facts are as stated or whether he -is getting a "cold deal" from the receiver. Business Agent Bauman is, of course, at the Junctionv office at Rock Mount to look af teethe re-icing and the, prpmpt , forwarding of cars from that point and he advises that the movement this year has been the best in years, but still the returns to the growers in all but a few cases are generally regarded as unsatisfactory. Yesterday the movement through South" Rocky Mount consisted of 46 cars, the distribution :, having been more general as follows: New. York 8. three each to New;. York, Springfield, Pittsburg and Buffalo; two each -to Albany, Hartford, Syracuse, and XJtica and one each to New Bedford, fievr Haven, Troy. Bridsrebort. Scrantori. WSUiamsport; Elmira,-. Erie.

JUDGE W. R. ALLEN ENDORSED. Likely Successor of Connor in Event of LatteVs Elevation. (Special Star Telegram.) Raleigh, N. C, May 7.

SAILORS WIN ONE TO NAUGHT Lovve Shows Up in Fine Forn--" Red Wilsofi Pitches Five" Innings! Anotlrer Gamer. This After noon The Team. ; W -A - ' ; A'-'-- x By a score of one to nothing, the Wilmington East Carolina ; Leaguers defeated the Christian College base ball team of. Wilson yesterday, after noon before some 3Q0 " enthusiastic local fans," who embraced the first op portunity ; of getting , . a line on , the Sailors ' as ihey will appear this sea son in the . pennant chase.. It is not too much to say that the local wor shippers at the shrine of the ball and mit were well pleased with the crew and that the team will be enthusias tically supported. The game yesterday was not so fast and snappy, of .course, as one would expect from professionals with an in terest iaxthe percentage :column, but it was a good article of ; the -ball .and gave the . Leaguers fine practice for the more serious business 7 to come later. IRed" Wilson, at local.- player who has. achieved distinction on pther professional diamonds; pitched tho first five innings for the locals and made' a decidedly favorable impres sion, keeping the few hjits well scat tered and fielding his position without an errcjr. . ; 1 Lowe; a recent acquisition from the Portsmouth, Va., team, was easily the favorite! among th' new faces seen among - the Sailors. He pitched the last -four Innings, yielded not a. single! nit and It was his safety in the seventh inning that brought In the winning run, He had one excusable error-but more than made up for that by'hold lngi steady in the box in the. first in ning that he pitched when two error9 by; McGeehan .; at sh6rt and Sharne at ksecondi .threatened ' to allow - the visi- rrtorsscore. ; A'AA'A A' The other ; new meh on "the team' showed up in splendid form and it js seen right how that -when the process of elimination begins, t is going to be exceedingly hard for Captain Smith to select his outfield. The men trying put for the places are far above the average. , Several of the Wilson League team members Were seen in the uniform of Christian Coltege and, of course, showed up well. The team is a fast pne and the game this afternoon will be k doubt. Beill and Davis were seen on the mound for the visitors and held the heavy-hitting Sailors to seven well-scattered hits? - The Tabulated Score Wilmington.

Last night Mr. Wright addess'ed a large congregation on the parable of Dives and Lazarus and the underlying principles of that great .Bible teaching. The contrast between Heaven and Hell and his description of the real conditions v of reward and eveHasting punishiment were vivid and! graphically presented the cause of Christ to those under his hearing. At both services Mr.. Wright charmed his hearers with, solo work, wich is one of; the features of the meeting. There will be nO services in the e his L hearers . with solo work, which is Wright will , speak morning and night as usual, to the Sunday School at 4 P; M.J and at the meeting under the aus pices of the.Y.

POLLS TODAY Friends of Education Showing Marked Indifference to Situation Sec retary R. D. W. Connor and Mr. J, A. Brown Coming. With? the last week of registration beginning Monday, it is ascertained that the friends of education are showing a marked indifference toward the school election to be held on May 26th, but from now on those in charge of the campaign are determined that the public shall be fully advised of the situation, and be placed fully upon notice; as to the situation with refer ence to the public schools. . To this end two open-air rallies have been planned for this evening, both to be held at 7:45 o'clock at Fifth and Brunswick' streets and at Fifth and Castle streets. Upon these occasions it will be a pleasure for. the people of Wilmington generally to hear Hon. Joseph A. Brown, of Chad bourn, and Secretary R. D. W. Connor, of the State Historical Commission - former principal of the Wilmington High School, together with several local speakers of prominence. The speak SCHOOLS ers will be taken from one appoint ment to another as they conclude their r addresses, it s hoped to (have a large crowd at each of these meetings in or- der that those open to conviction may hear the condition fully . explained. The vi8itincr speakers are well known in Wilmington and are favorites with: the people at large.' They .have anin tersstlng; message tc deliver from thei State and should be heard by' large crowds of voters. Ladies and children will also be welcomed as they are quite as much interested in the issues of this campaign as are the ran them-, selves.- ''Friends of education are reminded that on next Saturday the books ' of registration close and that unless' they '' quaHfy by' having their- names record V ed they can have 'no voice in the eleo lion May 26th. Today the registrars will be at their several polling places. , and , Will take pleasure in registering all who present themselves. -Th is is an , entirely new registration and the success or the failure of the schools wiH depend largely upon what their friends do tod3y. in the way of regis- . tering.

Chadbourn, member-elect, and other members of the County Board of Education, spoke to the pu-' jrils of the importance to them of the pending campaign and urged their co- .. operation and support in seeing that their parents are fully advised of the situation. -At both schools the child-; ren responded to the visit of the au thorities by rendering . number of patriotic songs and other exercises, which were a safe earnest that their hearts and hands are in the fight. The public is asked not' to forget the appointments this evening and not to neglect the matter of registration at their . respective polling places today.. MEMORIAL DAY ON MONDAY.
