The noon train to day brought in fivo oar loads ol' negroes to pick horries, and thia is only tho beginning ol tho borry season. Evo ry day I rom this on they will como hy tho ear load every day. The magnitudo of tho berry boniness at this place will have to bo seou to bo boliov ed. Thore is a farm just two milos from this placo that will re ti?ir? one thousand hands to gather the berry crop, while there are plenty of others who will toko from ono tothreo hundred if they eau got thom. .By May first there will bo ship ped from this point from fifty to sovonty-iive cars of berrioB every day until Juno first. There can be seen on tho streets hero by May first from five to ton Thou sand people at ono timo from every state in tho Union and Canada too-people of all kinds and colors; negroes as black as Hades and as mean as tho Boss of that noted pince, but they draw in tho yank ees money, therefore they aro hap py and love to come here.

But, money hore isdeadoasy if a follow can just, got in the swim. These yunkios love to spend it if you caji tickle their fancy. Lust night one of those Inky clouds that I used to write about arose and kept cooling this way. I thought porhaps it, would go around by Wilmington but it was Bchoduled for Chad bourn, ami it came hero in great shape. I could hear tho people in church singing and good Lord how 1 did W?HII i had been there too, but I couldn't make it, but I promised my self to go next Sundry night, if tho moon didn't, shine. Tho lightning Hashed, tho thunder rolled. I prayed for JULE COVING TON and tho yan kies and the 'Dispensary and prohibition, and 1 am afraid 1 prilld for Ben Till man and tho investigating com mittee too. If I did, I hope the good Lord will forgive me, for a scared dog is bound to fight his enemies whou you get him corner ed, and I was certainly cornered last night. I was awfully sorry for JULE, but maybe it didn't thunder at Mc?oll. If I can find a place where it doesn't, I mn go ing there at onco. I am O. K. now. The weather is cool, not a cloud in sight, everything on my side. How long it will last I can't say., lam like tho cat, I will come back when tho borry season is over This is not my abiding place, it is too close to deep water.
