The situation is niiiquo and Interest

$200,000 worth d berries have been

day atd turning thtml over to the
statioi spent te.e. The Armour con
cern will be h-'lu responsible for the
loss and up t date something like
$250,000 in claim have been filed.
What Is tri of Chndboum Is also
true of the tovn of Ward, Clarendon,
Mount Tnbor, Homewood and Rose
land, on the CVnway branch. The Ar
mour Icing statnn is located here, but
the cars go to tioie smaller stations
and brln the berrps to Chadhourn to
be re-iccd. The coigestion has affect
ed the entire berry section of the
State and the loss vill be great. Many
of the pickers came hero from a dis
tance and made contracts with the
growers for the berry sbasori. and will
not give Hp a good thing. This is the
greatest strawberry section in the
country. The frul; is of fine quality
and large in size. The Coast Line is
losing about $40,000 a day in freights
by being unable to get refrigerator
cars. The situation is serious and
grows moro so day by day. No cars
are promised before the middle of
next week, and by this time tho loss
vll have reached nearly a million dol

considerable portion of the crop has
spoiled on the har.ds of the railway
company, and much of the fruit has
been delivered on the Northern mar
kets In bad condition In eonseouence
of the refrigerator car famine In the
strawberry belt, it Is believed that we
soon will witness at least a partial
relief of the congest Ion, and that from
now on there will be little further, If
any, damage. One hundred and three
cars passed through South Ronky
Mount Saturday, and at least 125 are
thought to have gone forward from the
various points in tho belt The grow
ers are advised by the association's
attorney, J. O. Carr, Esq., of this city,
to continue to gather the berries and
tender their, to the railway company
for Hhlnment just as if the cars were
on the sidetrack ready to move them.
