ITN AN!* PROFIT FOIt THE ARMY OF “pickers.* ’ 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. ... i:v-si:vtor KAY Aim. 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.

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.
