This is the first tour South of this company and the favor It has met with so far by the press and public in the : different cities, assures it packed ' houses on its next trip through this section of the country. The ; company is an unusually large one, it numbering 25 people, who can atng, dance and make merry. The per formance all in all is claimed to be the best that has ever been offered the public by colored performers. , . "COMIXO THRO' THE RYE." HCnen "Coming Thro' the Rye" is ' presented at the Academy of Music to-night the theatre-goers of this city " will have an opportunity of witness ' lag one of the very greatest musical 'comedy successes that have ever been presented in this country. It will be 1 given here with the original com pany of 80 comedians, singers and dancers, and with an equipment of scenery and costumes and electrical effects such as is rarely used by traveling; companies. Wherever this production was seen last season It achieved a degree of suceees which made It the talk of the various com munities tor a longtime. In many places return dates were arranged with the result.. that the theatres in every instance were sold solidly in advance within a few hours of the openinig of the sale., No greater evidence of the attractive qualities of a ' performance could be given than this, and as we are to have the pro duction in every detail whlah achiev ed this remarkable success, anticipa tions of the most pleasurable 'kind may be freely indulged In.. "Coming Thro the Rye" is a musical comedy which is said to keep an audience laughing Immoderately from the be ginning to the end of the performance and its musical numbers are describ ed as being exceptionally melodious and to contain many numbers which are so "catohy" that .they are quick ly caught up and remembered. The great company is headed by Mr. Frank. La lor, a comedian who rates with DeWolf Hopper, Frank Daniels, and Others of that kind. He is assist ed by a large number of fun-makers and vocalists who have achieved re- . sown and the assisting chorus and ballet, numbering 60 or more. Is said to be the mOHt attractive assemblage cf sweet-faced, graceful girls that has ever been brought together in one organization. The scenery. costumes and other adjuncts r the production are described as incitmptirably beau tiful. That this will be one of the distinctive great events of the amuse ment season here goes without say , Inc. and it would be extremely m1- iaoie to procure seats as far In ad vance as possible In order to avoid - disappointment. This may be regard ed as a triU assertion to make in connection with a theatrical offering, but in this instance It Ih wholly war ranted.

The cry of hard' times ; may have V. in,' some quarters dampened the ardor and chilled' the expectancy, of the . occa sion, but in Charlotte Christmas will be the same. Merchants have dis played the confidence they have la their -patronage and disproved f the fact that there is really a panic by opening the usual large quantities of goods and preparing for the usual rush of a holiday business.; For the next two1 weeks the street will swarm with te-Chrlatjiis shop- I pers, and the clerk wlu have-his usual hard .time. -; :-''' -. ?-. ;w At Little-Long's department stores the displays are , elaborate and " the decorations are particularly . appro priate. The window of the store on North Tryon street is filled with pic tures and things suggestive of the Christmas season. One feels the Arc tic chill when he sees the paintings of snow and ice enveloping the trees and houses, and the mountains that rise In majestic splendor. Silhou etted against the snowy background is the proverbial reindeer, and old Santa Claus traversing the road to the,hdmea of the children. The win dow is notably artistic and is in keep ing Nflth , the enterprise of this es tablished firm. - . The windows of the Ed Mellon clothing house are flUed with men's apparel that will stand in good stead during the Christmas season, .if the thermometer makes its usual regis tration. Stylish garments .of various sorts strike the eye of the man who likes to dress well. This firm enjoys a large patronage and holds a strong place in the city's business life. The pictures in the windows of the Parker-Gardner Company represent the "Madonna and the Babe" and can be found there In all sizes and at prices that range to suit the people. The paintings are beautiful and stand for the work of master artists. At Key's the decorations are not elaborate, but one doesn't have to look long to tell that Christmas is coming. This firm pever falls be hind in anything that shows enter prise and up-to-dateness, and the Christmas shoppers will find what they want there In the. line of dry goods and the latest novelties for wo men. K. H. Jordan Sc. Co. have received an immense shipment of cut glass and will offer to tne buying public between now and the holidays a complete line ot exquisite gifts that are always timely and sensible. An elegant variety of furniture and household goods awaits the shopper at W. T. McCoy's. This firm has dlsplaytd a handsome line in its win dows of the store dfl South Tryon street. Pictures in keeping with the occasion and things innumerable will" be offered to the giver of present who seeks to bequeath articles that serve a useful purpose in the life of a fam ily. 1 -' (Ollreath's windows on South Try on street are decorated for the occa sion and between long lines of streamers of variegated colors afe ex hibited the latest styles in shoes and all sorts of footwear. Garibaldi, Bruns(& Dixon have se lected a splendid variety of gifts in the line of jewelry. This firm gets its share of the annual holiday -buying and for the 1907 season it looks as if the proprietors were expecting' the usual heavy trade. The windows of thU store on South Tryon street have been attracting the eye of the. pedes trian for several day. At Purcell's there Is nothing lack ing la the line of dry goods and stable articles of apparel. This is one of the newest houses In the city but is fast making Itself known to the discriminating buyers. At Belk Bros, Santa Claus has left his tracks and until the night of the 25th he has deposited with this firm an endless list of toys which he will carry don the chlmneya Never a Christmas passe that this company does not carry a full line of the lit tle trinket that make life worth Uv inlg for the youngsters. The same is true of Eflrd'g depart ment store. There will be no trouble experienced In getting an abundance of gifts for the little folks at this house. The hardware stores have taken on the holiday attire and ' the windows abound In carving knives and uten sils for cooking the Christmas din ner. If one undertakes to scrutinise the store of the main streets of the city, he will no longer doubt that the al leged panic has struck the pock ets of the people here. Had the merchants labored under such an impression, they would have , spared themselves the monfcy to lay In such a supply of Christmas goods. They are already receiving the llrt waters of the coming tide, and not a one of them seriously fears that he will not receive the usual heavy patronage that comes at this time of the year. The people will show that there has been prosperity In this county for the past twelve months. THE (STATE CONVENTIONS.

'.utter on Ileceus Government lunate. . The price of , cotton advanced ma terially yesterday and the ground lost by the government estimate Tuesday was regained, January (losing, at 11.09. The reason assigned for the sensational break in the market af:er the Issuance of the government es timate was due to the fact that, as a general shing, the government under estimates the crop, and, placing the total crop at 11,678,000, j leads the buyers to believe that the. crop will exceed such a figure. In times past the estimate has been as much as 1,- 000,000 bales short ot the actual pro duction, and hence the market looks for a much larger yield than the gov ernment foretells. In his annual report to Congress a short t'me ago, James Wilson, Secre tary of Agriculture, said that the re ports he had pointed to a crop consid erabiy over the average crop of the astnve yeara and that were jwouid be. enough cotton for the mills until next harvest. Thls advance "tip" did not convince the. bulls, and some well known men in the market are oulte indignant over. yesterday's report. " The following letter, has been, mail ed by' the ' well-known commission house Of Carpenter, Baggot ft Co. :o the Secretary of Agriculture and the ooara .or revisers, ot cotton estimates: We have received with astounding surprise your estimate of the co:ton crop for tne season of 1907-1908, at 11,678,000 bales, which Is so at vari ance with the census department gin- ners',. figures, which have been given to the public from time to time dur ing the season, and , particularly up to uecemDer 1st, ana, with our own sources of information, which cover every State In the, belt, that we re spectfully protest at an injustice which has been done to producers of one of the world's greatest commodi ties, and we .ask for an explanation of how these figures were obtained. , First, the out-turn of the gins, as shown by the census department up to December ' 1st, was 8,328,000 ' bales, which Is 1,889,000 bales less than "he out-turn of the gins up to December 1st, 1906, when the total out-turn of the gins for that season was put down officially': ac 12,981,000 bales, thus showing that the out-turn of the gins from December 1st to the balance of the season t was 1,956,000 r bales; whereas, based on your estimate of the crop -to-day, ' the out-turn of "the gins for the balance of the season from December 1st must be 8,840,000 bales, which Is more than ever shown; for the same period by even the larg est crop up to this time. ' - ' j "Taking into consideration previous utterances, which were credited to the honorable Secretary, that this crop would be above the average for five years, which statement was mad be fore the returns of the census were In! hand, and, consideration of which Is said to be given In preparing the gov ernment's estimate, we think it Is, nothing but right that the pub'le should be fully acquainted with the facts In the case. , .
