The Defender cost fully $20,000 more than the Vigilant. The contract price was f 75,O".0, but with the change and additional items the cost ap proaches 100.000. This great cost has come from the delicate blending of copper and aluminum. The Defender is totally unlike the Vigilant in that she has no centreboard, but is an out and out keel boat. - Her stabil ity is due to her lightness above water, and herthirty-flve-foot lead bulb, weighing sixty tons.

The America was a schooner, a two-master, while the defenders Of to-day are only sloops-, with a single, mast: Stevens took her abroad, and beat everything in English waters in 1831.

She faile I in tins, an I to escape capture wasunk in the St. John's River. Florida; After the war she was raised by the Government and put into commission as a training school for naval cadets.

Eutler, of Boston, an 1 is now in possession of his son Paul; All the defeii lers in the raocs of '70, '71, '70 and '81 were yachts built for their owners' pleasure, w th no idea of de fending the cup. The jir.si' trill nst choose a defender were held in lHSI. Since then so much money ' has been spent on the yachts that now they are merely racing machines, there being scarcely any accommo lations on b iar '. A reaction from this "machine" style of yacht is loiked for before long. Here are the names or the challengers: l70t Cambria, keel schooner; to raeu for America was a!i I com-pl-i-e, while tenth.

In the first of the series of international yacht races for the America's Cnp, on Satur day at Jiavesink Highlands, the Defender won by seven minutes and eighteen seconds, not including her time allow ice. The re sult was as follows: Defender won; time, 6:21:30; Valkyrie, 5:23:43. As both boats went over, steam whistles sounded for many minutes. 20,090 people, on the greatest flotilla that ever assembled off Sandy Hook, witnessed the race, and there was a scene of hiiarous joy when the Defender crossed the lin fully two miles ahead of Lord Dunra in's boat, the Valkyrie. Vver Your Cotton Weil. Tt is well that our farmers should under stand that they will be required to pay more attention to the covering of their c .tton in the future than they have in the pat. The Liverpool Cotton Association, autocrat of the cotton world, has passed a resolution that after the expiration ot the coming season of 1895-96 all bales not packed in accordance with the regulations -of the Maritime Con v.u i n v.ai Oriasna la.t February. venuon iiciu m y , - -" - - and the regulations of the Galveston Cotton . i A V... .V. m nAnfrniA.

Many of Winston's and Salem's bus iness men are interested In the Roan oke and Southern railroad, between Winston and Eoanoke, Va. Many are, now of the opinion that the Norfolk and Wester ii, which leased the foad several years ago, will give it tip t the non-payment of interest due oil the bonds. It looks now like the4 Baltimore and Ohio will get control of the road; Two bales of new cotton were sold in Waxhaw on Thursday, bringing 7;90 and 8 cents respectively. The first bale on the Monroe market was brought in by Mr. J. R. Rollins. It weighed 520 pounds and was sold at auction, being purchased by the Monroe Cotton Mills for 9 cents. The crop is late and not very large at that. The Clinton Democrat says that the decrease in land valuation in Sampson Bine 3 1894 iB $52,998. There are 18, S10 acres of land unlisted in 1895 and this will very nearly if not quite offset the decrease. There is a decrease in the total valuation of all property, ex cepting railroads, since 1894 of $61, 022. ' The Farmers' State Alliance has pur chased for $4,250 a large brick building at Cary, a village nine miiea from Raleigh and in this will have its general offices and business agencyr also a roller flouring mill and a shoe factory. A farmer and his wife, living a few miles northwest of Winston, came near losing theii lives last Saturday evening in their attempt to cross a swollen stream in a buggy. The vehicle was not pulled out until Sunday. A special from Fayetteville an nounces the sudden death there, of John D. Williams, Sr. Mr. Williams had been one of the most prominent business men of the State in mercan tile and banking circles. Nine, ten, twelve and thirteen thou sand dollars respectively have been the amounts paid out to farmers far to bacco at Rocky Mount during four of tne best sales days since the market opened. The property listed for taxation in Buncombe county this year shows an increase of $546,560 over last year, ag gregating $9,289,072. OHN SI3IS IS AN INSANE MAN. He Will Be Sent to the State Hospital nt Morgantou. if He Kyer Get Well He Will Be Tried. Wednesday morning early the court room at Charlotte was packed to hear one of the most interesting cases ever tried here in the Criminal Court. The qnestion of interest was, "Is John Sims Insane at the present time?" It wi'l be .remembered that he in tho man whd in a fit of anger, killed his wife jiear Hun'terstille last Jtlly: The first witness piaced ori the taud was his mother. She swore that he had beenresthss and strange all his life. He was full of notions. He w-Mild take log tramps away from home td Arkansas; Texfto, etc"; He' would say that he ibid no frieuds find would talu! poisous iti end his life , He is rtn illcgitirriiife child. His thtrthcr first noticed his peculiar mind when he heard of Garfield's ris?srisinaion he feared being hanged for it. His father was put on the stand. He said: "He was unbalanced when a boy and is still. He would kill toads, harrow io oats the wrong way, and get mad easily and leave houie.'" The came Mr. Tbos. Stenhouse, who said that he had known Sims all his life to be of a melancholy and despond ent nature. James Stenhous was then placed on the ftand and said: "I lived with llirtl laht year and have known" "lliin fduce box hood. He did peculiar things, Knelt as go out in the woods and stay all. night if he got vexed with anything. Once he conked up nil the breid and mcnt he ha 1 and gave it to his dog.

He always did his work well, taking much pains with it. 1 think him unbal anced; Then" Dr, Wilder; county siifieriii tendenl of health, who lias had id do with several insane persons, said: "I am perfectly satisfied that Sims is an insane man. 1 do not believe that he is capable df making ant defence at ne would not set up. a defense. At times be seems sane, but when excited he is insane and does not know wrong from right," Two other expert physicians testi fied in the same line. It was then found that the prisoner" is insane. John Sims is a little above the aver age height slender, with a small neck and brofld jaw-bone and lower part of the bead, but it gfown small and point td toward the top; He wears" a sandy colored mustache and hisetesate deep set and weak looking.

Sims will bo sent to Morgan ton; if he gets well he will be put upon trial for his hfo to answer the charge of killing his wife, NOUTII CAROLINA 1'AU lOIIlKs. 1'hc State Has Twice ns Many Cotton ractories as in 1S. The State Agricultural Depai tinent" nt Uuloifch issued a specially valnal.K bulktiu gi"g lists of nil munuf n t-.u--ii.g enterprises in North Carolina. That portion of it which is of gre-ittt ii.ttre.-t is in regard to cotton nnlls. This t-hows that ekvn mills are now in course of cotisti r.eti..n, that t-b. stock in eiht more his ln-.-n sub scribed and that 149 are i.o iijoieiii tion, spinning or wtnviut;. : 13c-i 1 these, there are twelve knitting mills, one silk mill, one towel mill, four l ag mills and one manufactory of sash cord Sand cording. There are thirteen v o.den mills in operation. The total of all is 192; Alamance county leads, having 22 cotton mills; Gaston has 21, Randolph 15 and Mecklenburg 13. There are mills in 41 of the 96 coun ties. There are reported 19,000 looms and 756,000 spindles. Henry G. Hester, secretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, has sci.t Governor Carr the following tel rgrnm: "I congratulate you and the people of North Carolina on her re mnikable nrocrress in cotton manufac ture. She is now practically equal to South Carolina, the largest cotton consumer in the South. By the actual census of mills North Carolina baa consumed of this year's crop 227.0UU bales, an increase of 55,000 over last year. She has new spindles which may be brought into play in loao- yo which, with fair trade condition, should increase her total to at least 250,000. In 1890, North Carolina consumed 114,000 bales. So your State has prac tically doubled her cotton manufac tures within the past five years." BILL ART'S LETTER. Tremendous Rain In Baltimore. Baltimore was visited on Friday by the heaviest downpour of rain in twenty-five rears. Starting at 2 o'clock in the morning, there was little cessation until 6 o'clock at night, and 4 76 inches is the record of the precipitation. The sewers were incapable of carrying off the vast quantity of water that poured into them, and in several pJaeea wash-outs and cave-ins resulted. : One death, the result of the storm, was re ported. Mrs. Annie O.Smith and her son were washed off the foot bridge that spans Jones Falls at Mount Washington. Tn young man succeeded in reaching the shore but bis mother was drowned in the stream. .
