. EVENING VISITOR. : VOL XXXII. RALEIGH, N. C, MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1895. NO. 12tf CAROLINA'S FRUITS. THE I'ltOSPKCTS FOR A .OD yeah mucin-. The Fearful Full Moon Some Samples of Fruit I'ulluiv. "April Hhera bring May tl wer-i," aud thin particularly playful m l dis agreeable Hbuwvr or deluge or lmt-v. rr you ?hooe to rail it, in the t an ri f ti e fruit cr.p, Hay the w- aiher prophets. The reaaous which theHe sag prog nosticate give are rather vague and bard to follow, but they are given. It is generally believed that whe q the April moon is full a freeze or killing front in imminent. 80 every year fruit growers are uneasy nutil the critical time in passed. Now, ay the proph ets, there la no danger of freeze, on account of the warm winds and rain falling. The moou will be full to morrow evening, and if it don't freeze by Wednesday the populace may be fairly mire of diving in peaches and crani and other delicacies next sum mer. Speaking about fruit, many people have no idea of the revenue that is lout, to the state when the crop fails. A gentleman this morning made the estiimte that North Carolina shipped in good fruit years 250,000 ui 'it li to northern mar kets. In Sampson cmii-ty, from one small station, $120 000 worth of huck leberries were swipped year i efore last. Between tile little stations of Dadley and Magnolia, which me very near eaelother.t lu-i e are twelve hun dred acres of highly cultivated land which is devoted to strawberry beds. So it can be readily Keen that this Htate needs a fruit ci'"p. Let the peo- pla pray that these weather prophets hive struck it right.. THE 51 EX WHO DID THE WOUK The Supper at the Yarlwrotijih In Their Honor. "You are Invited to attend a sup per at the Yarborough house, Tues day evening, April 9th, at 9 30 o'clock, 1- mplimentary to 'the men who did Hi-work in erecting the confederate 'ointment. Committee of invitation: W. E. Ashley, Gen. R. F. Hoke, Maj. John C. Winder, Col. A. B. Andrews, Jas. G. Brown, li. S. Jerman, Robert M. Furmanf Armistead Jones." This is the neatly gotten op invita tion that summons the good people of Raleigh and the Htate to com to gether, eat, be merry and diiuk the health of the men who did the work so successfully as t give Raleigh one of themost banJsomest monument in the south. Hut the Visitor, takes off its hat iu advance to the monumental as sociation, that organization of patrio tic men and women who have labored so bravely for the completion of the grand and beautiful memorial to the confederate dead which now orna ments the capital city. Invitations have been issued to many prominent personages in Ral eigh and the state and the company that will gather in the Yarborough diuing room tomorrow evening will i e a bri Itiant one indeed.

'1)01 (il.ASVlLLE, X.C." A Letter deceived Here Which Miows! the Spread of the Stigma. This morning a gentleman was showing a pecuilaily interesting letter which he had received from New Y01 k city. On the envelope the address read: "Mr. , Douglasville, N. 0." Tbe letter was mailed in New York last Saturday and so could not have lost any time in reaching its destination, Raleigh, which the sender intended. The receipt of this letter shows the power of printers' ink as an advertis ing agent and also shows to what a great extent the disgrace of North Carolina by the actioa of the late foolish legislature has spread. No mail clerk or agent seems to hav e hesi tated an instance as to where "Doug lasville, N. C," is situated. Never heard of a nine cent sale be fore, but Woollcott's going to have one 1 hursday. Domestic Down. Yard-wide fruit of the loom, 6 l-2c pr yard; yard-wide Masonville bleaching, 6 l-2. per yard ; Barker mills yard-wide bleaching, 6c. per iyard, at D. T. Swindell A BUSINESS QUfiSTlOi SWOLLEN STREAMS. WAKE COUNTY FRESHETS WASH AWAY BRIDGES. Cralitree it P.oomiitj; MorrivilIe'n New Hridge (lone. Parson who came in today from Morrisville and from the country north of Raleigh report that the freshets caused by last night's and this morn ing's rains are greater and more des tructive than has been tne case within their reccollection. Crabtree creek, which rises and falls with equal rapidity, gives promise of doing the most damage. Early this morning it was booming away, as wide as a full Hedged river, and was still rising. The new bridge at Morrisville went away on the breast of the flood about seven o'clock and almost noth ing is left to mark ite quondam dist ance. A bridge at this point was washed away only last sum mer and this structure, which was well put up and considered strong, was only completed a month or so ago. The water in the creek at the old "covered bridge" was this morning within two feet of its floor and this old structure, which has so long with stood the storms and freshets, is ex pected to succumb today. The new "powder mills bridge" is gone again. Farmers report that much damage has been done in the low lands. Sheriff Page only a week ago covered a field with manure This morning his field was covered with water to a depth of three feet and the manure of course is gone. Newly planted seed are washed from the furrows, wheat and oats fields in flooded low lands are ruined. Bnt the rain may mean good fruit. And that is some consolation. XF.WS XtlTES. Th' Little Events of a Day in the Capital City. HOW THEY REGISTER. The Registration in the First, Sec ond and Fourth Wards. The following will give the citizens of Raleigh some idea as to the inter est that is bfeing taken in the coming Maytime municipal election. Taking into consideration the fact that voters have still ;four Saturdays left in which to register. The registration to date makes a good showing: First ward, whites 216, colored 43; second, ward, white 113, colored 96; fourth ward, white 94, colored 200 It will be seen therefore that the total number of voters who have so far registered is 735, Bv these figures it can also be seen that at present the democracy is in the lead. The first ward is overwhelmingly democratic, the second ward is close and the fourth ward overwhelmingly republican.
