; MMPHM,:Texin., Oct. 7 -The eotton
crop report for the Memphis diatriot,
whioh embracee west Tennessee, north
Mississippi,! north Arkansas and north
Alabama, to be published tomorrow by
Hill, Foil Uine & Co., will say : The
weather during September was fairly
fatorable. Heavy rains prerailed after
the 15th, whioh did some damage and
delayed picking in some localities. The
Season, however, has be,en more favor
Able than list year np to this period,
exoepting in Mississippi, j where too
nipen wet I weather is complained of.
Picking is progressing rapidly through
out the district and it is estimated that
15 per cent of the crop has -been gath
ered up to 'October 1st. The damage
to the crops from the drought, shedding
ind rust .sustained in August has
not been aggravated by unfavorable
seasons, and the prospective yield of the
district indicates an increase of fullv
7J per eent, as compared with last year.
Arkansas and Tennessee show the most
favorable prespects. In the former
State the increased yield iapltoei at 19 J
per eent; in Tennessee, at 13 per eent;
in Alabama, at 2 per cent; while Mis
sissippi shows a decrease of 1 per cent.
The light frosts whioh fell in portions of
the diatrielj the night of Ootoberl were
not damaging, and the fair weather
that has since prevailed gives assurance
Of favorable conditions, which adds to
the bright prospeots of the planter, and
enables him to gather his crops in a clean
and satisfactory manner. The staple is
moving rapidly to market, and there is
no disposition on the part of the planter
to hold his eotton for higher prices,

B'AtTiMOM.MdJ.Sept. 7. It is pretty
well J understood in railroad circles,
though the fact is; not officially stated,
that president Garrett, of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad oempany, while in
Europe perfected arrangements for se
curing the funds: necessary for extend
ing the Shenandoah Valley railroad
south to Pensaoola, Fla., and that the
work Is to be commenced within thirty
days. The route is said to be over the
old line direct into Salem, Va., via. Bu
chanan; thence south to the famous
Cranberry iron mines of North Carolina,
Birmingham, Dalton, Qa., and to Penr
saoela. . The object of extending so far
South is to get an open and direct route
to this Gulf of Mexico, which is
now blocked to the Baltimore and
Ohio by tbe Richmond and Dan
vill syndicate. By agreement with
large capitalists who are to locate fifteen
or more blast furnaoes at Birmingham,
Ala., anex tension of the road will run
through -the Cranberry iron mines,.
where the best ore is obtained for the
manufacture of Bessemer steel. The
new line, as is understood, is to be com
pleted inside of two years, and is to
have all the Northern iron traffic
of Birmingham,; Ala., to the eastern
markets, which trade alone will be a
large feeder to the line. . ;

hour of 9 had struck, the delegates to
the Knights of Labor convention in the
several hotels and boarding houses had
finished -, breakfast and groups of neatly
dressed intelligent looking' men were
seen proceeding toward armory hall,
through every street leading to it.
Fifteen minutes after the hour fixed for
the beginning of the se&eion ven the
latest stragglers had arrived and the
work of the fourth day was under way.
As to the details of that work, the four
walls of the armory barred out the outer

; Bicbmond, Va., Oct. 7. At the close
Of the morning session matters were ex
actly in tie same' position jib they were
last night. The discussion of the Mor
mon case, which had then been begun,
ss resumed immediately after the open-
ing of the session and was continued
until the adjournment for dinner. The
hour of adjournment is 12 o'clock, but
today it was nearly 1 o'clock before a
reoees was taken. When the afternoon
session began the Morrison case was
I taken; np and it was expected it would
be disposed Of within an hour and that
the ease of, the St. Louis delegation
would be proceeded with. It is not ex
pected that this case will occupy muoh
time, as no isssues such as were pre
sented in tbe Morrison ease are involved.
At the; afternoon session the discus
sion on the report of the committee on
credentials on the case of the delegation
from district assembly 126, of New, York,
headed by John Morrison, was con
tinued and it was finally decided to ad
mit the delegates from that district,
ith the exception of Morrison, who
was rejected ana nis alternate substi
tuted for him. This result was reached
about 4 o'clock. , As the committee on
credentials desired further time for the
consideration of the case of the contest
ing delegations from St. Louis, the
rules were suspended and the conven
tion proceeded to discuss the question
of giving the support of the order to the
iockea-out cotton-workers of Augusta,
Ga., the curriers and tanners of Pea-
body and Salem, Mass., and the j ur
nevmen plumbera of Mew York. a here
are three thousand men in each of the
first-named bodies and about 1,400
-in the latter. It was decided
to support them. It was 5.30 o'clock
when 'this business was concluded and
a recess taken to 7 30, it being decided
to hold an evening session to consider
the action of the committee on' creden
tials, which; it was expected would be
ready at that hour. During the session
the following telegram was received by
Mr. Powderlv from Pittsburg. Pa., as
follows: "The national amalgamated
association of iron and steel workers

THIS SUBJtGT WHAT KNIGHTS THI5B:.
Bichmond Dispatch,
One of the best known Knights of
Labor in this city who authorizes the
use of his name if necessary was seen
yesterday and asked by a Dispatch re
porter: '
What do you think of the attitude
taken by assembly 49, . of New York,
regarding social equality?
I regard,: said he, the action of
those persons who took Farrell to the
Mozart academy as an outrage upon the
people of this city, and an insult to the
Knights of Labor of the United States.
I feel confident that they do not repre
sent any but themselves.
now do the Knights of Labor of
Richmond ; regard the action of their
visiting brethren in this respect?
The Knights of this city are justly
indignant,- and their position of host
only restrains them from an outburst of
righteous oontempt. Mqst . of 1 them
earnestly hope that master workman
Powderly will avail himself of the first
opportunity to administer to 49 the re
buke they merit and justly deserve.
The action of 49 will cause a great many
to leave the order, and will in a large
measure detract from the parade of
Monday next. 1 I have yet to meet the
first man, white or colored, Knights of
Labor or otherwise,' who has expressed
anything but the severest condemnation
of the action of 49. Indeed, all ; have
some respect for Farrell; for the others
oontempt. j
Does the constitution of the Knigts of
Libor require social equality? If it
does not, upon what ground does 49
rest its claim upon this point?
I cannot find anywhere in the consti
tution, by-laws and work of the
Knights of Labor anything npon which
49 can lay any claim for social equality,
unless it is the quotation from the De
claration pf Independence -"All men
are created equal." People may ac
cept as much of the doctrine as they
please; as for myself, I do not in any
way accept it as a act. This quotation
is the only thing I can find, as I have
said before-And if it is the basis of their
action you! must admit is exceedingly
flimsy. Up to this time I have never
heard any one pat any such construc
tion UDon the teachings of the Kniehta
of Labor as that which 49 foolishly and
endeatored to promulgate in this
Personally, have nothing but kindly
feelings for the colored people. I wish
them prosperity and success, and will
befriend them in say just claims they
may have;; but when the plea is putin for
social cquauty we line oi aemarcauon
is clearly and distinctly drawn, so far i

Today the democrats rpoke at . town
ship house, in Panther Braich town
ship. The occasion was very gratifying
to all the democrats, who were present
in such numbers, lhe crowd was fully
as large as in the notable campaign of
1884. Sheriff Nowell opened the ball,
and in a short speech announced him
self. He was well received, and the
crowd rejiiced to see his portly figure
and well known face. Treasurer A. D.
Jones was the second speaker. His re
marks were brief, but pointed. He was
followed by register of deeds M. W.
Page, who announced himself. Mr.
Thomas H. Badger announced himself
as the democratic candidate for clerk of
the superior court. He made a very
pleasant impression and it was evident
that he was among friends. Mr. Rufus
H. Jones, our candidate for the sen
ate, spoke for half an hour. He
made some telling hits, and
showed how .thoroughly practical and
reii miormea a man neis. vapt. Hj a.
Sumps spoke for an hour, in a style
at once vigorous and effective. Mr.
Charles F. Lumsden made a speech
which won the close attention of the
crowd. He spoke for half an hour.
His remarks ; were pertinent, well put
and incisive. He made a good impres
sion on all. Dr. Blanch ard and Mr.
Burtis T. Strickland announced them-;
selves in a very practical way.
Not one man was called out on the
fence question and there is practically
no difficulty on this score in the town
ship. There is no doubt that we will .
get a better vote in Panther Jc ranch this
time than in 1884. All the indications !
give the greatest encouragement. M.

grounds are being put in shape; in fact
are about ready. The grass is cut, the
fields west of the track are now in culti

whitewashed and the track is in capital
condition. The buildings are . now
thirteen, years c-ld, yet are standing well
and show no signs of age. The track
has been neatly fenced and this fence is
painted a light : red color. Next year
even more will be done to the track in
the way of improvement, and the de
pression in the oval, on the west sidr,
will be filled so as to keep it from being

the entire space within tha track
ill be made absolutely level.
It will be a great point to nave it so

much better than ever before. Persons
standing near the grand stand can seo all

It will give very little trouble. The
water supply will be ample. There are
fourteen wells en the ground and two
windmills. The stalls are ia good con

ready for use,

Tuesday and selected the upaoe fronting

this hall there will be a display by
northern settlers. Up stiirs Mr. Fred
Watson will have a tasteful exhibit, and
in the east wing au. J. it. 5 tone wui
have an extensive display of musical in
struments Wetmore & Co. will have
a novel and ' interesting featuro in the
shape of a shoe i factory. This will il
lustrate all the processes of making
shoes. ;
The musical feature this year will b?
attractive. The contract has been given
Jackson's silver cornet band of this city.
This has twenty performers, snd is one,
of the best bands in the State, perh-ps
the best It is the first time in six 7 ears
that a Raleigh band has been employed.
Among tho other attractions there will
be a sideshow, with two large tents. In
these glass blowing and other interest
ing work will be done.
The display of cattle will be specially
provided for this year and is sure to be
a grand feature of the fair. The indica
tions are that over 250 cattle will be
shown, and nearly all will be thorough
bieds. Last year the cattle show was
the best ever made in this State, but,
as the phrase iocs, it will not "hold
a a .-' . a -m a
a candle to the one this year. ctue
from over twenty counties will be heie,
from Bertie to Buncombe. Special ar
rangements will be made to give great
prominence to the cattle show, as well
as to that of horses. The premiums are
certainly liberal.
The fair is being well advertised on
all the lines of rti and the interest
manifested in it is gratifying. The let
ters received show that the attendance
of exhibitors j and visitors from
counties heretofore making no dis
plays is to beat the record. The rates
of fare on the railways are lower thin
ever before and this will prove a pow
erful inducement to come and see a fcreat
State show, provided for all the people.
The renting of the various privileges
at the grounds will be done at the
grounds next Monday, bv the secretary.
There are some valuable privileges.
The Shotwell memorial bazaar will bo
held in the south end of the grand s tnd,
ground floor, and will be managed by
the ladies. Lunches and oysters will
be sold there, also fancy articles of all
kindsJ f .
It is a groat pleasure to know that
the big exposition building, whioh is on
the grounds, Is being repaired. 1 ne
roof ws leaking in many places, owing
to holes wearing in the patent felt
covering. The State1 of North Carolina
will have a notable display in the south
wing of that great building. A new tin
roof is being put on this and is nearly
completed. The remainder Of the
building . will ; be covered with tin
at on Co. . It is the intention to prc-
serve.it. Many persons feared that the
building would be torn down, but
after this outlav it is evident that it is
- -ST - . a'
to be preserved, and it is now perhaps
an ass urea not mat anouer exposition
will be held. I This matter has never
before been mentioned save in a casual
way, but it may bo stated as a plain
fact, that with this big building in good
repair and with the experience cf the
now famous exposition as a guide, the
State can in 1&87 or 1888 hold an ex
position which will aa far surpass the
former one as that did any fair. It is
something to look after and to make
preparation for.

A SlOSd BITS AMONG THE WHITES.
Richmond Dispatch, .
j Tuesday night just before the per-
fbrmanoe of "Hamlet" began at the
academy of fnusic sixty members of dis
trict assembly 49, of New York the
negro member (Farrall) being one of
the party ind twenty other Knights
of Labor, delegates to the general as
sembly, weij,t in a body to that place of
amusement,! and, marching up to the
boxrcffioe, he foremost man bought
eighty tickets, for whioh he paid $40.
These tickets admitted the party to re
served seat! on the left-hand side of tha
body of the house, about eight rows
from the stUge. Thither they wended
their way,? toe negro sitting between
two of his -hite confreres, near the end
of tne of the rows). Here he remained
undisturbed; during the whole perform
anoa. A good-s zed audience of ladies
and gentlemen was prescat. Only a
few left the hall. In fact, it was not
generally kjbown in the audience what
had (ocaned and who the strange visi
tor was. 1
; There was that night among those
citizens whj knew of the affair severe
criticism of' the management for allow
ing this violation of the long-established
customs off bis part ef the country, but
Farrell havng been seated, no doubt
the management thought it wiser and
better for all oonoarned not to make any
move which might possibly result in a
disturbance
It is saifs to presume that "Forty
nine" marfshed to the academy in s
bady last night, as it did, only to mike
a "test case."
Mr. Castfne, the manager of the aoad
emy, statesfthat he knew nothing of the
presence of the negro until after his en
trance into (the hall. Mr. Caetine tben
consulted several gentlemen as to the
best caursejto pursue, and, upon their
advice; rather than cause any excite
ment, he took no action, and allowed
the man to remain. '
