i Our fity leaders all know Col. W.
J). (’Uiploy, <>f tin' Baltimore & Ohio
Hailrou< 1. A walking cyeiopaxliu a
man profuse of information, and yet
1 thoroughly careful as to what he says,
always on the lookout with pencil
| curried on the half-cock, and paper
; always ready he is a treasure to the
nt wspaper man, just as he is invatuu
j hie to the great railroml.he serves.
WV met him yesterday, and obtain*
I ed from hi*t some very interesting
| information, which wo lay herewith
before our readers. It was about the
j blackberry crop. He let anew light
in on this hitherto despised berry,
I and put it up a notch or two in our
’ osiimaiion. It is known that in bis
connection with the Midland Linn he
tins lunch to do with the arranging of
‘ freights along tlie line of his roads
i from her*■ i<> Baltimore. Last year
about the first of August he received
Ia request from a mercantile house in
Salem. N. (\. asking him to correct
j an overcharge on
FIVE Alt LOADS OF BLACKBKRRIFM
that this house had shipped from Sa
, U‘in to Chicago. He was surprised at
! hearing of tins novel sTiipment, and
iMde d<iwu to Salem that night to look
into it. He found tlie country around
i Salem lloded with circulars from
j (leo. 11. WhileiA (to., of (’hieagoof
| fering ir> cents a pound for dried
blackberries in any quantity. Li
*osti>just one centj*er pouml to deliv
jcrtliesv berries in Chicago, and hence*
. the Salem merchants could net H
cents per pound, and paid from 7 to
i.l cents for them, from the bands of
jthe pickers. He found that, this was
‘the third year since the traffic had
: been introduced into North Carolina,
and that it had grown to be an enor
i mou source of revenue. He found
, by incontestable proof, that the small
: town of Salem, with hardly 2,000 in
: habitant -, shipped over three mil*
j lions *>f pounds ofdri** l blackberries,
j for widen t hey received 5p,0,000 or
j nearly half a. million dollars. Or to
put i! down to a basis that will make
if appreciable, they received for their
j blackberry crop just, what they would
i have received for
! six THOUSAND BALKS OF COTTON AT FIF
TEEN CENTS I’F.K POUND.
! Theer*i> is of course abundant
j almost infinite. The old Helds liter
ally swarm with the busy pickers
| im iue, the season. Frequently whole
! families mrn out at early dawn and
! pick berries until dark. A bushel of
j berried will yield twelve pounds of
j dried fruit ; at fifteen *’cnts per pound
I . iiis will make the fruit worth si ho
j per bushel. It is dried in the siin
! i*lest manner: being simply spread
• >it over dry boards and left in the
; sii.u. rue smallest child in the family
lean wa'eii the berries as they are
| I l ying and carry t hem through tin*
i'lMc.'- . Deduct, from the gross cost I
cent, per pound for freights, two cents
lor drving and,say two cents for mer
chant's profit and wo see that the
berries will net the pickers about ten
cents per pound or si.2o per bushel.
A child ••an easily pick a bushel per
lay. A laborer, wii h live or six chil
iivn, or a widow with a lot of bairns,
Lind it. a perfect (iod-send to find
them yielding a revenue of £1.20 each
per day.
Mr. Chipley says that tho traffic
runs along t hrough the little towns
■*i' Salem, Greensboro’, Winston,
High Point, etc., and that during
‘‘the season,”
THE HTRFirrs OF THESE LITTLE TOWNS
ARE LINED
with men, women and children bar
tering off their blackberries, and pur
chasing their groceries. Instead of,
July and August being Hie dullest j
months in Litis section, they are the
busiest, and all because a source of
revenue heretofore wash'd has been
turned to account. The berries are
shipped Horn these towns by the* ear
load, and of course it makes quite an
item with various freight lines to
control the carrying of the crop. Mr.
Chipley had two men employed last
season simply to canvass in the inter
ests of his line for this traffic, and
will put them to work again this
year. He thinks that.no less than
ten millions of pounds of blackberries
were shipped from North Carolina
lust year, thus bringing into the
Si ate
ONE MILLION AND A HALF OF DOLLARS.
Ho learns from the merchants in
Salem that their orders from Chicago
are unlimited. That they could sell
a hundred times what they do, if they
could get the berries. The berries
are used for pies, for eating, and for
distilling purposes. They are ox-
I ported to Europe in huge quantities,
and especially to Germany, where
I they are a great, luxury, and their
: market, value is quoted regularly dur
ing tho season in ail the Western
j prices current. He. says that Atlanta j
! merchants ought to l>o able t.o pay j
■ just, as much for them as the North
Carolina buyers, as they ought to be i
able to get them taken from hero to
Chicago at one dollar per hundred
pounds. He has opened correspond
ence with .Me-sis. Geo. if. White &
| Cos. and will be abb* in a day or two
to state positively wiiat they are of
j fering this year, so that is probable
that, in course of this season our mer
! chants may set a price, for the berries
I and open a market for them in At
lanta. We sincerely trust that this
can be done. If they could buy one
! hundred bushels for the first season,
t they would open the traffic, arid buy
| a hundred times that many the next
j season, arid thus convert into almost
I priceless value an abundant and
\ spontaneous crop, that has heretofore
\ been literally wasted.
MORE ABOUT TIIE BLACKBERRIES.
Yesterday afternoon (.'apt.. Chipley
met us and asked an audience. In his
modest way of doing things, he inti
mated tliat lm would prefer his black
berry story being confirmed, and
forthwith introduced us to Oapt. J.
it. McMurdo, the general freight
agent of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad.
Being assured by (apt. Chipley
that he was a blackberry bonanza, we
questioned him as follows;
Reporter So, Captain, there are a
good many blackberries shipped over
your road? M ,
‘ Capt. McMurdo The amount* of
blackberries we carry reminds one of
the countryman’s idea of railroad
iron. When our road was first built
1 asked a countryman who had come
to town in an ox cart,, to go home,
(about twenty miles,) with me. He,
after looking at the track, asked if
COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY, JUNE 20, 1875.
tho iron, pointing to the track, wont
all the way to Charlotte. On being
assured in tho affirmative, he said,
“l didn’t think there wasenough irou
in th<‘ world to build such a long rail
road.” Reforo I commenced hauling
blackberries, I didn’t think there was
enough in the world to fill a ear.
Now every freight train that, comes
into Richmond brings from throe to
live ear loads of these berries.
Reporter. When did this trade
commence ?
Captain McM. Immediately after
the war Mr. Wilson, of Salisbury,
commenced shipping blackberries to
Northern and Western markets, the
first year he made upwards or ten
thousand dollars. He thoughtlessly
told of his profits in the blackberry
traffic and now nearly every mer
chant in the State deals in them.
Reporter. Are there more black
berries raised in North Carolina than
in Georgia ?
Capt. MoM.—I have no way of judg
ing except by your freight bills, but
using them as a criterion. 1 would say
that there were more blackberries
raised in that State than thero is in
the rest of the world. Some of our
freight agents say that the bluekber
ry is the chief product of the State.
Reporter. Do you mean to say t hat
the blackberry has a commercial val
ue, ami is a part of the trade of tiie
Turpentine State ?
Capt. McM. The blackberries is as
much of a staple in Nort h Carolina as
cotton is in Georgia. The different
railroads North send freight agents
all through the State to solicit the
merchants to ship their blackberries
over t heir road just as they do in
Georgia, to get tin* cotton shipped b\
the way of their lines. I have often
met four or five foreign agents in our
town looking after blackberry trade
and offering inducements to the ship
pers to semi their berries by their
lines. Being satisfied Mr. Chipley
has made a mild statement as to tin*
amount of the blackberry crop, we
thanked Mr. McMurdo for tin* infor
mation he had given us, and forth
with went on the by ways and hired
a squad of tho gamin to pick black
berries for us during tho coming sea
son, generously offering them one
half they picked. Atlanta Ih'rakl.

HE VTTHIUUWB FROM POLITICAL LIFE
Ills VIEWS OF THE SITUATION.
New York, June lit. E.x-Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, for more than
forty years an active politician, is
now jit the New York Hotel much en
feebled in health. In an interview
lust evening ho stated he had virtu
ally withdrawn from political life.
Most of his colleagues were dead and
age prevented him moving in active
polities. He contemplates, with fear
and anxiety, a spread of corruption
| by both parties. Ho expressed a deep
j reverence for old constitutional prin
ciples, which prescribed limitation of
fiowers and forbade the interference
of the Federal Government in inter
nal improvements. The abandon
ment of these pilfteiplos breed cor
ruption, and government interfer
ence with railroads or other matters,
which should be left to individual
enterprise, will ultimately lead to its
destruction.
He believed it was a great mistake
to give tho right of suffrage to the
negro race. They are untutored, full
of passions, without deliberation or
augmentive powers, and become the
easy prey of political demagogues.
They did not expect the right of suf
frage, but they were worthy of equal
rights before fhe laws.
Referring to Grant’s letter, Bayard
is of the opinion that Grant will take
the third term nomination if he can
get it, and would uso armed force in
the Southern States if he saw a
chance of success; but Grant is no
fool. Should tho fall elections go
against tho Administration nothing
more would be heard of the third
term ; if they go otherwise Grant will
be the Jiepublican candidate for the
Presidency next year.

APPEETONN’
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new typo, and illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Mnps.
Tho work originally published uuder tho title
of Tin. Ni w Ami un an (at loilkoia was coin
pletediu INCH, sineo which time tho wide circula
tion which it has attained iu all parts of the
Uuitod States, aud the signal developments which
have taken place in every branch 0!-,hcd nee, lit
erature aud art, have iuduced the editors utul
publishers to submit It to au exact and thorough
revision, and to issue anew edttlou entitled Tins
Amkrican Cycuumsdia.
Within tho last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made anew work of reference an imperative
want.
The move me Ut of political affairs lias kept pace
with the discoveries of science, aud their trultfu
application to the industrial aud useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ot
thn old work appeared, lias happily been ended,
aud anew course of commercial and industrial
activity bus been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowl- ,
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex-:
plovers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural r< suit of the lapse of time, 1
have brought into public view a multitude ol new I
nu n. whose names are in every one's mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, ol which the de
tails are as yet preserved only iu the newspapers i
or 111 the transient publications of the day, but j
which ought uow to take their place in jx nna
uentand authentic history.
lu preparing the present edition f-*r the press,
it has accordingly been tho aim ol the editors t<>
bring down tiie information to ihe latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
i the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production iu literature, and of tho newest
inventions iu the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun alter long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources tor carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
NOllO of tho original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan amt compass ns its predecessor,
but wit lx a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
lirst tiuio in the present edition have been added
uot for tho sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to tho explanations in
tlio text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict (he most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
archit' eturo and art. as well as tho various pro
reuses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
imibeliskment. uo pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, aud it is believed they
will find a-welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopiediu, and worthy of its I
hlglfcharaeter.
i’liis work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
iu sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
tliotiHaud Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
