June 2 The continued wet weather during the past week has materially ilvinor.il lze.l the gathering, shipping and sale of fruit and vegetables. This may b- especially ap plied to strawberries an-l prices have reached a very low ebb-- so low that tho trade has principally bought for canning and preserving. Ftrhig b'-ans, cabbage, squash and new Irish potatoes have lagged throughout the entire week. Receipts far In excess of demand. A noted scarcity continues to exist on cauli flower, egg plant, tomatoog an ! peppers. Pineapples meeting ready sale at good prices. Orange receipts light an.l wo know of but ono ear In transit for this market at this time. No apples to be had at anv price. Bananas will begin to show weakness within the next f*w days on account of tho abun'lance of other fruit. Peaches are arriving more plentiful, but as yet the quality will not admit <f a general consumption, bring on the green order and hard. Cantaloupes arriving from Fl -rlda so far have been of very Inferior quality and hard to make dispositl' n of at an price. Raspberries, cultivated blacklwrrte.s, rrap-s, etc., will make their appearance within tho next few days. Old onions have played out for tho present season, and tho new crop will scarcely bring express charges.

CENSUS MAN IS ABROAD. HE IS LOADED WITH ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS. If You Don’t Want To Get Into Trou ble You Had Better Answer Them. Quick. The census enumerators began their rounds on last Friday, chlppe- and gay. They didn't Know what sort of a proposition they were about to tad le. None of them had ever learned that to extract accurate information 011 even tho simplest matter from the averag? min or woman was a task to induce brain fag and bad temper. The mall carrier has nn easy Job. Ho has nothing to do but walk. Hut the census man has many other things to do. His ornate and exhaus tive thirst for seemingly useless informa tion is only simulated. Unless he is a most unusual person, ho really doesn t care a rap whether or not your grand mother was hern in Germany of Scotch parents and afterwards married a Swede who emigrated to this country in 1818, but never took out naturalization papers. He will ask you questions something like that, not because he wants to know, but because he gets 2*4 cents for each live in dividual whom he catoch'ses according to the elaborate forms furnished him by tho government. The enumerator makes his money on the dead ones; they pay him 5 cents, provided they have dlad within a year past. Tills subtle dfstiuetlcr between the quick and the dead not only gives an element of inter est to his work, but serves an incentive to spur him into a deeper probing of one's past. The properly equipped enumer ator carries a large portfolio tilled with blank forms, containing many questions, covering su< li personal matters as name, relation, color or race, sex. date of birth, age at last birthday, whether single, mar ried, widowed or divorced, number of ch-I dren (If any), nativity, citizenship, occu pation and education. It’s a fierce job. and if you want to keep the death rate down, don't break up what may boa happy home by thn-wng ob stables in the path of the harrass. d indi vidual who will call on you betw -e,r this date and June 15th. Answer his ques tions simply and briefly, and in the fu ture his prayers will attend you wher ever you niuy go. JUDGE ROASTS JURY ROUNDLY. Man Charged with Murder Is De clared Not Guilty. Chattanooga, Tenn.. June I.—(Sped ■’.) — Two years ago a young man from north Georgia, named ITcntice Chambers, at one timo a school teacher, wnile drinking, shot and killed a barkeeper named Id;;ht in this city. He was put on trial on a charge of murder in tho first degree, and was today acquitted by a jury. The cir cuit judge, Hon. Floyd Estill, was greatly outraged by the verdict, and roasted the Jury in the following languag • for the Verdict in tho presence of a large con course of people: ••Gentlemen of tho Jury, I believe it is my solemn duty to talk to you in this public manner. I have had a profound sympathy for the aged father, sister and other members of this defendant's fam:iy, but sympathy for a crini.nal's family should not deter an.’ man charged w.tn the duty of enforcing the law from the ]>erforniance of duty. Yorr verdict in this case, in my opinion, is nothing short of an outrage, and goes very rar toward con vincing me beyond a doubt that t ie task of enforcing the criminal law with the piresent jury system in vogue is a hopeies ta.-k. In this case the proof of guiit was full and compb.-te. and the case skillfully pn secured. Your verdict shocks me be yond my power to express, and will help very greatly others of a similar character recently ii ii’b red in Hamilton county t-> bring th-j law and its officers into public contempt. You are dis- barged." The judge was warmly congratulated by hundreds of citizens. No such indignation has been felt since tho acquittal of Julia Morrison. Marshall’s Case Continued. Raleigh, N C..
