The strawberry season is now on in full blast, and the little towns and surrounding country are full of visitors from different sections, remote from the railroads, or from sections where the luscious berrv is not grown, engaged in picking ber ries. But with the large number of pickers on the grounds, there re mains still a great shortage in num bers sufficient to take care of the crop, and for this reason the grow ers will lose heavily, as great quan tities of the fruit is ripe on the plants and that not more than 50 votes will and will be lost, on account of be- go to his opponents, Senator John son and. LaFollette. The nominee of the Democratic convention is still in doubt. The fight it is said will be between McAdoo and Gov. Smith, with McAdoo in the lead, in the first balloting, but what the outcome will be is problematical. Smith is strong in the East and he has the point of the National convention in New York in his favor, while the South and West are strong for Mc Adoo. Points against Smith is his attitude towards the Volstead law and his religious belief. He is a Roman Catholic and many people would shudder at the thought of having a Catholic president of the United States. It is stated that Hon. William Jennings Bryan will be at the Democratic convention and will fight Smith with all his might, but ing overripe before they can be picked. The local market opened last Monday and prices ranged from $4 to $6 per crate of . thirty two quarts. The movement is very heavy throughout the whole territory, and would be heavier were there plenty of help to save the crop, but with the labor shortage hundreds of crates will rot in the fields. The late seasons and labor-shortage are making it rather hard on the farmers, and especially those who are growing strawberries, to bacco and other crops, as they have more than can receive their atten tion. The dry weather is retarding tobacco-setting, and a alrge amount of plants that have been set have died. J. D. Frink.

Smith the dem ocratic nomination for president the campaign poets would have a great field-day, say some of the big news papers, which are of the opinion that a great many people would prefer a mudslinging campaign to a poetical one, in which the country might be flooded with rhymes as: "You know me Al, but I ain't your pal." or "You know me Cal, my name is Al, and I'm after your gal." The New York World publishes the following as a prelude to the possible nomination of "Cal" and "Al": "The G. O. P. Demand that we Shall this year vote for 'Cal'; But lots there be I Who'll drop the 'C And thus will make it 'Al.' " We are not in politics, so far as The next session of the Columbus County Rural Letter Carriers' Asso ciation was located at Lake Wacca maw, May 30th, but as the Lake will be a little difficult to reach by the carriers in the south and west ern part of the county on account of the hard-surfacing work that is ?n progress between Whiteville and that Wilmington that the Steamer Wil mington may cease its daily trips to and from Southport, if the revenue does not increase. This boat line is extremely important to Southport and it is very regrettable that the patronage is not gieater. Hundreds of Columbus county citizens have en joyed trips to Southport aboard this boat at some period or other.
