MonziiKAD Crrr. N. C.. July JO —"That man,”
Mid t.cneral Roberts, pointing out a man in the
crowd."sold *80.000 worth of Irish potatoes this year,
eve>v on - of which he raised on hfa om place.”
Tl a' ->und> l.occdiVe, and yet it i* true. The
man alluded to wa, Autbro.e Lindsay, who lives on
the coast near the Carolina line. Of this enormous
Crop I hare no doubt *50,000 was clear money. Sol
Haas told we of a man at Norfolk, who cleared
$33.0 Oon raising potatoes this year, and paid off a
debt that had accumulated in business aud threat
ened to rulu him. This la the best year for p rtatoes
ever known. The last crop was shortaud poor, and
there was not tock to start the season with. The
high pi ice of bread and meat increased the con
sumption of potatoes, and the heavy crop of this
year was Ukon at high figures. Potatoes that drag
ged at Si a barrel in Sew York last year brought
SO.50 a barrel on the Carolina coast this year.
I have written a good deal about the truck tann
ing o' this see' to i. but I was not t repared to see
the progre* that has been made. In the Sew IScmc
country it has quadrupled is the past two years,
and every season sees new lands cleared. Some ei
the stories of profits would be fabulous were they
not well-avouched. Mr. Joseph Itliene, of New
Berne, is an example.
“I bad occasion.” said Mr. Bryan, an intelligent
gcMleman, "to look into h s accounts five yeais
ago, and lie was then $25,000 behind. He went to
truck farming, < ommcncing with about sixty acres.
He is now worth *80,(00 besides his farm. He has
increased this to several hundred acres, and so en
riched it that wiiat he gave $10 an acre lor will now
commaud 0100 an acre. He raised 810.0(0 worth of
potatoes this year. His total crop of truck for the
season U worth $35,000, and it cost him about S14.000
to make it. His sales for the first five days of the
season were 813,000, or S3.000 a day.”
“Ii the profits are so immense, why docs not
everybody go in?”
“Nearly everybody in this section is going in. I
planted about.IO acres in potatoes tills year on which
I made S130 an acre at an expense of 822 an acre. I
shall enrich my land next year and increase my op
erations. Every season new people come In. Mr.
Dunn, of our city, who was in the railroad servic -,
bought CO acres of laud a few years ago and started.
He has made over S10.000 and his farm, for which
ho gave almost nothing, would sell for S-3,000 easily.
There is au abundance of similar land to be had
cheap, but it has to be cleared and enriched, and is
ollcn out oi the reach of market In spite ol every
thing. however, the truck business of the Carolina
coast, already enormous, is destined to double ana
quadruple even Us present proportions. We grow
every tiling here, and there are special farms for to
matoes, tarries onions, etc. It is not unusual for
one of our growers to ship 30,000 boxes of strawber
ries. The cultivation of these small crops is a God
send to our people who have been forced to give up
heavy ojiorallons in rice aud cotton because of labor
troubles. It is really a surplus above our staple
crops anyhow. For when we raise a crop of peas we
then pitch in and raise cotton on the same land.
"V, i l not the growth of truck farming in lower
latitudes hurt your growers here?”
"1 think not. I believe the eastern shore of Caro
lina is destined to be the great market garden for
New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New Eng
land. Yon see there arc two tilings to consider in
profitable truckcry:
“1st. Early seasons. We beat Norfolk or Maryland
two to three weeks, and thus get the cream of
prices.
"2d. Quick transportation to market. 3Vo are only
ten hours further from market than Norfolk, which
makes no difference. But Florida and Georgia are
two o.- three days farther than us, and this differ
ence wilts their fruits and vegetables and increases
freight expenses.
”1 hold, therefore, that we occupy the golden
mean between Florida aud Norfolk. The latter is
too slow of sea-on, and the former too far from
market. Therefore, I believe we will command the
situation and that eventually truck lands along
our coost will command very high prices and our
section will be looked to by nil the eastern markets.
We have special advantage in the fact that the gulf
stream Hows m ar our coast and gives us milder
seasons than other sections have.”
I Jo not agree with Mr. Bryan on this. South
Georgia can put vegetables into market fully one
month earlier than New Berne, and I have seen
tomatoes shipped from south Florida on the 17ti>
of January. If properly packed up they can be
marketed in perfect order, and there is no doubt
that Georgia can reap the rich harvest that now
falls to Carolina and Virginia from the sale of
truck.
TRUCK OX YORK IUVER.
I took a run down York river and up Chesapeake
bay on the Louise of the York river line. After
supper iu which soft-shell crabs, fried oysters, tcr-
rapiu stew, broiled chicken and pan fish bore not
u inconspicuous cart. Captain Billups, of the
Louse, and myself, wrapping up snugly, went on
the deck for a talk, lie said:
"We make four landings on York river. From
these four landings we have already taken ov<
12,000 bushels of truck this season, and are not near
through. The melon season has not fairly opene 1
At several of the landings Jltis season I have taken
on 1.0S0 barrels of peas, and once over 1,500 lor-
rcl*."
“Is the business increasing!”
"Very rapidly. As large as it is now. it is only the
beginning. It has doubled this year over last
Truck raising does not interfere with the staple
crops, but is a pure surplus, and brings a great deal
of money between seasons into the country. Wc
notice a continual improvement in the land, tho
farm houses,tho people and their methods. 1 look
for the culture of small crops to make this York
river region a garden spot from one end to the
other. Several of our shippers have made fortunes
out of truck already. But here wc are pulling up
ntYorktown, and while we are now between sea
sons you can see for yourself.”
As we neared the wharf I recognized the spot
where, at the Yorktown centennial one year ago, a
gentleman relieved my pocke: of a watch, and an
other, scarcely less a thief, charged me fifteen cents
for a drink of water. I thought then that nothing
could come out of the desolation that surrounded
that ill-fated town. On the wharf, however, we
found a pile of freight.. One hundred and ten bar
rels of canteloupes, sixty four barrels of potatoes,
twelve hogsheads of melons, three boxes of crabs,
containing seven hundred each, one hundred and
ninety crates of vegetables, an immense amount oi
raspberries and blackberries, one hundred and
twenty cratca of peaches, t * elve coops of chickens
and four calves. Captain Billups told me that one
shipment would net the trackers about 82,0(0. As
the steamer passed that point daily, and the pro
duct of ten or twelve miles only was collected there
aud as this was between seasons, some idea may be
had of the money that Is poured iu through these
•small crops.
Every bit of this and more too. sou h Georgia
might have, without curtailing the cotton crop one
bale. The lands are just as good there, for all gar
dening depends on artificial stimulus. The truck
ripens rati tit earlier and is only one day further
from market. If the farmers of southeast Georgia
would put 10.000 new acres into truck and fruit
next year nine ont of ten would make a success of
it, and it would bring a rail'ion dollars into the
state without cutting into any other revenue.
Those who do trucking now have made money and
set fine examples.
I suppose Morehead City is the only city in the
world without a wheel in it I do not think there
is a w .gnn or buggy horse in the town, and very
few iu the county. Everything is done In boats.
There- is not a house in the county that a boat can
not get within a mile of. Nor a doctor or lawyer
in the county owns a horse—they practice in boats.
The people go to funerals in boats, and when they
arrest a man they carry him to jail In a boar.
The main export of the town, besides truck, is
fish—but the fish caught here embraces everything
from a whale to a shrimp. Last year two or three
whales were taken off this coast, and a whale is
worth from $1,200 to 82,0(0. It is said they get be
tween the shore and the gulf stream, and in trying
to beat ont to sea are sickened by the warm water.
They turn in shore eg.in and soon strand them
selves. Along the bays and inlets mackerel Rre
caught in large quanti’Jea in nets. But this whole
sale fishing is neither picturesque nor interesting.
A pretty sport practiced along shore is spearing
flounders. A small row boat is put adrift. A man
with a flambeau walks alongside up to his knees In
water. In the bow oi the boat sportsmen stand with
slender gigs. Along the bottom, by the reflec
tion of the light, can be seen white flounders
half buried in the sand. They remain perfectly
•till while the gig is poised above them, and never
move until they are either speared or mis«ed The
[ only drawback to this sport is that occasionally your
torch-bearer is "stung by a stlrgaree. A stingaree

is simply a long buggy-wbip, broken out with
gmall-pox and filled with steel springs, aqua forlis
and needles. When he hits you, lock-jaw is the
mildest possible result. The "little nigser" contin
gent ahont Morehead, makes its living by crabbing.
With a little boat, hardly bigger than a tub, they
go out in the surf, and flopping in and out like
amphibia, soon come in with a bushel or so of the
ugliest looking and sweetest tasted things that swim
the water.
Oncother very important industry of this most
interesting place, is the raising of “raa’sh tackles."
The marsh tackey is a shaggy pony hardly larger
than the Shetland, light built and hardy. He lives
in the water and will not eat corn or hay. He is
brought up on the mar.h grass, which he eats be-
in droves as wild horses. Each drove has its leader,
who selects the eating grounds and decides when
the tides are going out or coming in. Once every
year the owners have what is called a “pony
penning.” All the ponies along the coast, running
Into the thousands, are drivOP in by boats and
either branded or sold. They bring from 815 to 830
apiece, and it is a tribute to their utter wildness,
thata“broke” pony, that is, one that can be ridden
or driven, is called a "trained ackey” and brings
870. Tbey are in great demand in the middle part
of the state, eating little and doing a heap of work.
They run down to skin and bones before they learn
to cat com or bay, but then fatten rapidly and lose
the ugly redlsh color the salt water giv.es them
There are men who buy them in large numbers,
train them and take them to the mountains and
get fancy prices for them. As I write there is
drove of tackcys marching in slow and sedate pro
cession against the horizon. The leader, taaring
his responsibility with dignity, picks the way care
fully, and bis company follows with a blind sense
of confidence. The water as it splashes about their
legs glistens like showered stiver, and their red
sides shine against the sun like bronze. On they
go. ns "a lowing herd winds slowly o’er the lea,’
as birds beat homeward in the twilight, grow
log smaller and more indistinct as they
plod their steady way. At last they are but specks
above tbe water, moviDg dumb and patient to some
well-desired goal. Now they are gone—one after
the other melting away in tbe sunset, os a baud of
spectral ponies, that parade in solemn mockery be
fore the eyes for a moment and then fade like
phantoms in the infinite ocean that thunders be
yond the bending skies. II 3V. G.
From the Athens Banner-Watchman.
Never did a gayer band of tourists leave
Athens than the Pioneer excursion on Mon
day morning last. Besides the band and other
attaches to the occasion upwards of 350 took
passage at Athens on the train, and before it
reached Lula the number was swelled to over
500. Nothing had been left undone to add to
the pleasure of the trip, and every one on
board seemed to lend their aid toward com
pleting the success of the occasion. At every
station the band discoursed delightful music,
and we saw in the faces of those we left be
hind us regret that they could not attend.
Happy crowds of young men and ladles flit
ted from coach to coach, brightening all with
their smiles and radiant faces Occasionally
some warbler would start up some popular
song, that was instantly taken up by others,
and the train rendered tor some time a moving
concert The train was composed of ten cars,
five very large coaches that were in front, four
of the side-seated boxes that were used to
carry passengers for Atlanta to the cotton ex
position—still containing the old advertising
card of the glass hen, etc.—and the fruit car.
Tallulah was reached about 1 o'clock, most of
the excursionists walking to the falls from the
railroad terminus. The first tiring on hand
was dinner, friends lumping baskets and add
ing a regular picnic to the other pleasures of
the day. This meal dispatched, the various

excursionists forming in squads, perhaps to
meet again at some striking point of interest.
At half-past four the Pioneer band gave a
concert from the Devil’s Pulpit, which was
grandly sublime, the notes echoing for miles
up and down the chasm. At five most of the
young people repaired to Messrs. Childs &
Moss’s new store, where a dance was inaugu
rated.
THE RETURN TRIP.
At seven they were again promptly at the
railroad, and were soon steaming homeward,
perhaps the happiest throng of pleasurers that
ever took passage from our city. Again songs
were in order, and mutual congratulations
over the joys of the day—all uniting in pro
nouncing it the happiest day they had ever
spent—not a single thing occurring to mar the
pleasures of the trip. Clarkcsvillc was reached,
where a brief halt was made, and after it was
passed the excursionists seemed by one con
sent to prepare to enjoy themselves the re
mainder of the ride. The young people had
gathered in squads and were chatting and
passing jokes; the old ladies had made them
selves comfortable with wraps, and were pleas
ingly looking on; the mothers had tucked
their sleepy little ones away for the night;
and were drinking in the bracing mountain
air. It was the happiest scene our eyes had
ever jested upon. The writer was in the
coacit next to the engine, not more than two
seats from the door that lead out to same,
and was standing in the middle of the aisle
talking to some friends. He had just taken
supper with Mrs. Henry Beusse. and had gone
to the cooler for the purpose of getting some
water, and had lingered.
DOWN THE EMBANKMENT.
At this fearful and unexpected instant the
horrible accident occurred. IVe had passed
the Clarkcsvilie depot about two and a half
miles and had reached Mud Hazel creek, a
little stream that is spanned by a very tall
trestle, with thirty feet embankments of dirt
leading thereto. Without a moment’s warn
ing, wtien but a few feet from the bridge, the
lteavy Air-Line engine that drew the train,
in making the sharp curve here crushed one
of the small bars as if it was a pipe-stem,
leaping into the fearful chasm below, a com
plete wreck. The next coach, upon which
the writer'was riding, ran past the engine
upon the cross-ties, where it in time leaped
down the embankment, falling against the
engine at the bottom, thnt complete
ly crushed in " its sides. This
coach turned twice in the descent,
and when stopped rested with its bottom up
the hill. The next coach was of light pire,
and it was dragged after the first, turning over
in Us descent, to he again straightened up as
its end collided witlt the first, completely
crushing it in. The third also fell from the
track, its end once rearing high into the air,
but to again settle into a not very dangerous
position, inclined down the embankment,
frightfully on one side. The fourth coach
also jumped the track, but being held by a
Stiller coupling, kept from going down the
embankment. Fortunately the other boxes
remained upon the rails, but the inmates
were fearfully shaken up by the shock, even

With Last Tear.
Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
New York, August 4.—Tite July cotton re
port to Bradstreet’s Journal, a summary of
which is herewith given, is more full as re
gards the extent of cotton area heard from
than any previous report. There are replies
from 892 correspondents, representing 522
counties out of 622 counties, 92 per cent of
the cotton area of the south.
The condition of the crop as a whole is
from fair to good. But for the excessive
rains in some parts, notably in Alabama, the
condition could be reported good, with the
exception of Tennessee. Telegraphic advices
indicate that the rain in Alabama and else
where still threatens injury to the crop. A
most critical month for the cotton plant is
now on. The end of Angust may tell an ex
tremely favorable story, while on the other
hand irreparable injury may be done. Un
mistakably, however, the chances now are in
favor of a full average crop. The replies tabu
lated show that 127 report the present condi
tion of the crop very good, 3G7 good, 302 fair,
and 43 poor.
As compared with the condition of the
crop at this time last year, 557 state it is bet
ter, 179 worse and 76 the same. As to the . , . , - T .
blooming and fruiting, 63-1 report it-good, 102 tbe kst box, occupied by Mr. Jester, jarring

to roll, until we found ourselves near a branch
when we arose and started back to the wreck,
in search of two little boys we had in the fated
car. It is scarcely possible to judge our joy
when we found them both safe, having
climbed out of a window by making step3 of
the seats. We were covered with blood when
Mr. Tom Hudson carried us to a rear coach
and washed the slight wounds on our lace
and head. How we escaped certain death,
after being hurled from the window half way
down an embankment directly in front of
the wrecked train is more than we know.
There were many other escapes equally as
surprising.
THE EXTENT OF THE INJURIES.
With the exception of the engineer, hap
pily none of the injuries were fatal. Why
nearly every inmate of the first coach was not
killed we cannot surmise. The tender and
portions of the engine were driven entirely
through the sides of the _ coach, right in
among the passengers. It is fortunate that
the full volume of the steam did uot escape
in the direction of the coach, or none could
have been left alive. For forty yards by the
side of the hill the trees and bushes were
scalded with the steam. The prompt manner
in which the doors and windows were broken
open let in the fresh air and saved the in
mates from a horrible death by steam and sufio-
cation. It was scarcely nine o’clock when
the accident happened, and we never saw a
sadder night. Fires were kindled, and col
lected around them were groups of friends
dressing the wounds of some sufterer. One
of tliff coaches had been turned into a hos
pital. in which the most dangerously wouuded
bad been placed under the care of Dr. Harde
man. of Harmony Grove, the only physician
on the train. He was untiring in his efforts.
Few of the excursionists had brought along
wraps, and many of them suffered from the
cool mountain air. Hardly an eye closed
that night. The scenes around us, aud the
narrow escape we had just made, were too
trying upon the nerves to think of slumber.
The site of this catastrophe was gloomy. It
was- beside a dreary looking branch, in a bleak
forest, with no house in view. There was no
moresinging.no more laughter. It seemed
as if some evil fairy had suddenly touched
with her wand a scene of joy and turned it
into a place of sorrow.
THE MESSAGE FOR AID.
Mr. Ed Bitch volunteered to walk to the
junction, a distance of five miles, and send a
dispatch. This was done, which in a short
time brought an engine and fiat cat sent by
Colonel Foreacre to carry off the wounded,
and a gang of hands to repair the track. All
night long they were hard at work, and by
six o’clock had the way clear for the engine
to pull the remaining cars of our excursion
train home. About one o’clock a delegation
of citizens from Clarksville, under Mayor Mc
Millan, came to the wreck, bringing with
them Dr. Houston, and did valuable service
towards relieving the sufferers. They in
sisted on carrying our wounded back
Clarksville. These kind gentlemen
proved • themselves true Samaritans.
The blame of this accident is attribu
table to no one in particular. It was the sec
ond trip the engineer had ever made over the
road, and he did not know the _ curves and
grades. He was doubtless running entirely
too fast for a new road that had not settled.
Just at the place of the accident is. a . very
short curve; while the iron on ^his line is
quite small. In passing this curve at so fast
a speed, the heavy engine either broke a bar
or tore it out of place, when the catastrophe
followed. The engineer had just blown on
brakes as his engine jumped the track. The
tiip home was indeed a sad ending of a happy
beginning. You heard no laughter, no songs,
no jests. A pall of gloom seemed to have
settled upon the excursionists, and when the
train rolled into the Athens depot there was
a rush for friends whom they had left behind.
This report was written while lying upon
our hack in bed, and while it is not so full
and compicie as we would like to give our
readers, they must accept it as tbe best we
can do under the circumstances.
to grass and cultivation being good and 167
that it is poor. ,
The condition of the crop in North Caro
lina is somewhat below good. Excessive rain
is reported in some parts of the state. No
damage has as yet resulted from worms, rust
or shedding. The cultivation is generally
good. The crop is from ten to fifteen days
late. The weather has been more favorable
in South Carolina than in North Carolina.
Blooming and fruiting were progressing well.
Three-fourths of the reports speak of a high
degree of cultivation, with the fields quite
free front grass.
Sufficient rain has fallen in Georgia to in
flict temporary injury, but it is not thought
that permanent harm will result. Thirteeu
correspondents in Georgia report injury from
shedding; four say worms have appeared, and
seventeen note presence of rust. About two-
thirds of the reports speak of high cultivation,
with the fields free from grass.
From Florida the reports are contradictory,
excessive rain having fallen. Frequent rains
appear to have done most injnry in Alabama,
and serious harm is threatened.
The condition of the crop in Mississippi is
scarcely more than fair. In Louisiana the
condition is distinctly good, the outlook in
that state being extremely bright.
The reports from Texas could hardly be
better. In Arkansas a surprising improve
ment is noted. The outlook is distinctly the
most promising in Texas, and the most forbid
ding in Tennessee.

THE HORROR OF THE SCENE.
But at this instant a scene of horror follow
ed that beggars description. The hot steam
front the engine began to pour into the first
coach, that rested upon it, threatening at each
instant to scald the parties confined therein.
Screams the most heart-rending ascended
front the imprisoned inmates. The lights
had been extinguished by the fall, and the
darkness could be felt. Smoke began to pour
from the doors and windows, and the cry was
raised that the car was on fire. The great en
gine lay throbbing, and momentarily threat
ening to burst and complete the destruction.
Those in the second car were themselveslin
no enviable condition. They were imprison
ed in their narrow cell, having telescoped
with the coacit ahead of them. But the delay
was only brief. In an incrediable short space
of time the men in the coaches that escaped
injury had rushed to the rescue, and
bursting open doors and windows be
gan the work of saving these unfortunates.
There was no confusion and no signs of fearr
but each man went to work like a cool, ealeu
laving hero. Families had become separated
during the night, and you beard without the
screams of friends, begging every one to save
a mother, a sister, or a child, who was in the
steaming coach. The work of relieving the
sufferers was rapid. Due by one they were
pushed though windows or holes cut in top
of the car to persons standing waiting below
to receive them with tender hands. It was
the entire width of the car that they had to
be lifted down, even after they were drawn
from the coach, and during the excitement,
when making the leap, a few were injured
thus. But be it said to the credit of the men
imprisoned in the first coacit, that not one
even thought of escape until the helpless
women and children were first released. With
great fore!bought they covered the faces of
the ladies to protect them front tbe effects of
the steam, and then rapidly passed them up.
Tite rescue from the second coach was not so
dangerous as the first, but even this was a
fearful sight that can never be forgotten.
TOS FIRST WARNING.
As we before stated, the writer was standing
in the aisie at the timeof the accident, and he
distinctly remembers trying to catch to the
back of the seat, when he recognized the fact
that the car was off the track. Bnt at this in
stant the car fell to one side, throwing us
from a window opposite immediately in front
of the coach. Our head strsck in the side of
an embankment, but the next instant we
were among the timbers of the overturned
coach. We expected to be crushed to death,
as we knew the train was rolling down the
embankment after us, but decided to make
an effort to escape by rolling out of its way.
Our mind was collected, and we thought of
every railroad accident we had ever read
about. We did some of tbe tallest rolling
ever known outside of a bowling alley, bnt
soon felt the hot steam from the engiqe upon
us. To avoid this we started in the other di
rection. but at this instant, though, the coach
must have made a bound and jnniped clear
over ns, as we remember being among the
wheels and debris, from which we received a
number oi slight bruises. But we continued
