J... v. - COFFEE Spot uio The lerry season which opened just live weeks ago is practically over although a few scattering cars will go from the Wilmington and Weldon section during the present week. In all it is to be doubted if this week's -entire shipment will go as high as twenty-five cars. When the season opened Mr. C W. Woodward, agent of rtfte Armour Car Line at tiiis point, predicted that the crop would reach twenty-seven hundred cars and his es timate is certainly going to be very, very near correct. It now looks like itlha number will be slightly less than this but it will be far nearer than any otflier estimate made. The crop this season has been a rec ord breaker and it is to be doubted if the farmers have ever come out bet ter than they have this season.

Far into ttjhe west did the Carolina berries go and into distant Canada, not only to cities nea'r the border, but tar into the anterior.
