TROUBLE DIAGNOSED AS FINANCIAL HYSTERIA Wilson Citizen So Terms the Present Conditions. WILMINGTON PRESBYTERIAL In Session at Falson, Interesting Ei erclses are Held Warsaw Tobac co Market Cotton. Farmers in Wilson County Dlscourag ' -ed as Resnlt of Last Year's Storm and Present European Hos tilities He Claims.' (Special Star Correspondence.) Wilson, N. C, Oct. 25. One of the better informed citizens of Wilson stat- . ed yesterday, in conversation concern r ing the financial situation in this coun - ty that the fact was evident that the majority or the farmers were suffering from a financial hysteria. In the fall of 1913 a severe storm swept over this county and damaged the cotton crop from 35 to 50 percent. The loss was the cause of considerable' complaint but the crop brought about 12 cent sand the farmers sold their cotton and reduced their indebtedness largely, if not entirely. This fall with a magnificent crop, many farmers hav ing materially improved their land and thereby received a larger production per acre, there is more than an aver age cotton production in the county and the price is between six and seven cents. The farmers have a larger crop of tobacco than last year and the price is good. With a sale of a portion of the cotton and the use of a part of the receipts from the tobacco every dol lar of indebtedness could' be .paid. In stead of paying their accounts and furthermore, declring to deposit the money received frcm tobacco in the banks of the county, the farmers are actually withdrawing from circulation the hundreds of thousands of dollars paid for the tobacco and thereby in juring' their own condition. The same ; gentleman stated that if the farmers 7 would only think seriously and act reasonably they would improve the local situation at no loss to themselves. ,.- Since the opening of the tobacco sea son," one warehouse, the Farmers Ware- house, operated for the farmers, has . handled over 4,000,000 pounds of to- bacco, having handled 700,000 pounds this week. The other three warehouses have certainly done as" well, and this crop has brought; good prices. Yester day this correspondent was told by , one of the warehousemen that prob ably 45 percent of the crop had been marketed. One farmed- sold Friday 1, i 000 pounds of tobacco at an average of 29 cents, and some of the leaf sold as hight as 51 cents a pound. home, putting it out of circulation. This fact is the cause of the serious 'con dition here in the tobacco belt, where this year there should be no serious (Special Star Correspondence.) Warsaw, N. C, Oct. 25. The Wil mington Presbyterial, met in Fasion Saturday, with Mrs. Joseph Brown, of Chadbourn, president, presiding, and a very succesful meeting was had in spite of the threatening weather. The serviceswere openefl by prayer by Rev. James Thomas, of Clinton, and Miss Sallie Hill, of Fasion, by the " well chosen words of the welcoming ad dress made every one feel at home. Rev. Lacy Little, who for a num ber of years has been a missionary to China, was the principal speaker of the day, and in his address on Liberty told in a very brilliant manner of how Christianity had helped the Chinese, and particularly the women,- bringing them from the sphere in which they were considered as slaves, and placing them on the level with man; doing away with the heathen- customs, and adopting those of the civilized, and christianized world; and in every re spect lifting them both spiritually and mentally. Mrs. Annie Witherington next ren dered a beautiful song service assist- ed by a competent choir, which was followed by a prayer for Peace by Mrs. A. W. Southerland, of Mount Olive, in which she asked for Divine aid in bringing about peace in . everything. , A delightful paper was prepared by Mrs. W. M.Cumming, of Wilmington, as a memorial to Mrs. B. F. Hall, one of the most loved women of North' Carolina, and who has done a great work in the missionary field; owing to the absence of Mrs. Gumming, Mrs. Craig, of Wilmington, read the paper. The meeting adjourned for dinner a most sumptious lunheon served buf fet style by the ladies of Faison, after which they returned to the church where black board studies; prayer needs was greatly enjoyed. Then a devotional hour was spent in which Mrs. Brown, the president, led. A special feature of the meeting was the exhibition of curious of rare beauty and priceless value, which Miss Sue Hall who has been a missionary for years showed, and explained, i these greatly interested the ladies, and i children. ' The Warsaw tobacco fcnarket Jias sold 350,000 pounds of the bright leaf this week, which is far in excess of any amount ever handled on the ware house floors of this town in the same length of time, and the top notch prices that have prevailed during the past few days are climbing steadily.

Even at 6 cent" ,1 , QmoU rrat i "Stop Thief a new production to be seen at Academy of Music next Sat urday, Matinee and Night. "Stop Thief" is a farce in three acts from the pen of Carlyle Moore. The plot' of the piece deals with klepto mania. A kleptomaniac is defined by Webstjer as a wealthy person of ex traordinary absentmined tendencies and morbid impulses. The mania us ually demonstrates its presence by the Victim of it being discovered in mak ing a collection of valuable r articles that do not belong to him. When the poor man is caught doing the same thing -he is arrested as an ordinary thief. That is a detail however. There are two kleptomaniacs and a real crook in, "Stop Thief". One of the kleptomaniac's is a millionaire and the other is his prospective son-in-law. The bride-to-be knows that her father is afflicted with .mania to steal, but she is ignorant of the fact that her yesterday's I future husband is also .i Into this household a real thief is smuggled by a new maid, and the ijlot thus tangled in the first act calps fofj the presence of a batallion of police men who appear in the second oct, where the thrills begin. One valuable article after another disappears in the most mysterious manner, and in the search of the culprits many funny sit uations are envolved. Bert Leigh is seen in the part of the "Thief," and Miss Hazele Burgess as the "Maid, his pal," and the original Gaiety Theatre, N. Y. scenic produc tion will be used, with an excellent supporting cast.

Bear in mind, too, that the price for children remains at 5 . cents, while adults jnly have to pay 10 cents, the smallest ever charged to behold this wonderful Paramount Picture, be cause it is a Paramount, and .that means the last word in moving pic ture brilliancy. It-takes six big reels to unfold the story of William Tell, and, of course the play is staged on the lofty peaks of the, Alps and tells in thrilling manner how William Tell liberated Switzerland. It is a wonder ful story, told in most wonderful way and in elaborate pictures. The cast is made-up of all noted actors and act resses, because the Paramount never offers any other.

The increas--. ed production of the cotton would cover . the depreciation in price. 'Chief of Police Wiggs thinks that there eiists an organization with al most perfect system by which liquor Is sold contrary to law and the desi gnates the offenders as the "big" and crops to an extent that has never been ; seen before. It seems that, after ob- j taining considerable information from ; j different parts of the county that the i cotton crop next year will be cut nearly j 50 per cent, instead of 25 per cent was ctated some time ago. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mr. E. Geieer. of Rocky Mount, was "little" fellows. It is apparent, accord-j a guest at the Wilmington yesterday. mer to tne tjnier. tnat tne utie fe lows a"re taken care of and their bonds made, attorneys employed, and fines paid by the bigger offenders. With every round-up of the blind tigers comes a decreased number of arrests for drunk eness, but after the trial and payment of fines, the number of cases in the .police court in noticeably larger. Mr. i Wiggs is making a streneous effort to locate the big fellows. The safe rule is to use the smallest shot . , you can get into the bird, through his armor of feathers and skin. Range, of course, enters into the com putation. For example, 10's will kill quail "nicely in the early part of the season in California,' when the birds are flushing close to the shooter, ana many young ones are in the flocks. But the same 10's are useless on the -hardier birds of late in the winter, when they," too, have learned wisdom and get up at 30 yards or more. Sevens are deadly on ducks at ordinary-duck ranges of 35 to 50 yards; sixes .take care of nearly all duck shooting. , Sies and sevens get home at ' ordinary, ranges, ' and on ordinary ducks.;. - -But When, the programme changes to tong shots at ; "can's," then the 7's and the-6's have to resign in favor of 4's. Itis highly; embarrassing to hear your shot splatter on a .hard breastplate of feathers and see "the bird' merely go into the hierlv in. his desire to erive vou re rom. November Outing. . Rev. J. S.
