A Brief Review of tne Encampment at geaetde Park Yacht Race, c. , Ac. Oor. of the New and Observer. ' Wbightsville, July 25. The encampment is virtually broken, although the formal adjournment will not take place till tomorrow, so is a general holiday in camp, and the toys are scattered. Some are sport ing in the surf; others are fishing on excursions, while several companies have already left for home. That the encampment has been a grand suc cess cannot be questioned for a mo ment. It is true, however, that the nnmber of visitors in attendance here and in Wilmington was not so large as was expected. Still it was large, and it is difficult to see how a greater number could have been entertained. There were excursions every day from some point or other- The officers and committees in charge of tie various departments deserve special and honorable mention. The citizens of Wilmington, always hospi table and whole-souled, the railroad companies and all have left no stone unturned to make the stay of soldier and visitor pleasant- It is very re markable that no serious accident has nim aujwueie, aibuougu wc crowds 'were large and twenty-six trains a day have been running be tween Wilmington and Wrightsville over the Seacoast road, and every train packed to its utmost capacity. The military parade in Wilmington was a success, although the Surgeon- General advised against it on account of the heat. The Edgecombe Guards headed the list of companies who vol unteered to go anyway. A meeting of officers was called and nearly the entire Guard voted to attend. During the even ing of the parade the Edgecombe Guards paid their respects to Col. Bridgere, of Wilmington, and were handsomely entertained by him at the Orton. There was a fine marine parade on the river the same day. Sunday in camp was a fine day. Rev. Mr. Harding, chaplain of the First Regiment, preached in the morning, and Rev. Mr. Law in the afternoon. It is difficult, however, to see the necessity under the circum stances of dress parade on Sunday. On Wednesday morning there was a sham battle, participated in by the parts of several regiments. Yester day was the "big day" of the en campment. Gov. Scales and family reviewed the troops. He came to Wilmington on Monday night, where he was met by the mayor of the city and the Governor's Guard and es corted to Wrightsville. Yesterday the entire State Guard were thrown in one body in the field, and reviewed by the Governor. There were at least five thousand people on the ground. A feature of the day was a competi tive drill for a medal, given for the best drilled soldier in tho army. Fif teen companies one man from each contested. The medal was won by the Wilmington Light Infantry. The Warren Guards also had a competi tive drill during the encampment for a medal offered by some Warrenton merchants for the best drilled sol dier. This medal was won by a Mr, Alston. In the afternoon, about 7 o'clock, the Confederate Veterans of Wilmington arrived and were formed into line and paraded through the camp. They were received with great enthusiasm. As the crowd looked upon these scarred and aged veterans almost audible sigh swept through the camp Memories of 60 and 65: of the lost cause, were recalled with commin gled feelings of pride, and Badness The old soldiers numbered about one hundred and seventy five. The num ber is rapidly diminishing. In a few years a confederate soldier will be quite a cariosity. Among the spectators I noticed Mrs. Scales' and Miss Kate Scales, Major and Mrs. Stedman, Mrs. Lati mer and her son, Mr. Wm. Latimer, the president of the Sea Coast Rail road Co. The boys never looked or appeared to better advantage than on this occasion; xesteraay morning a meeting was held and petitions gotten up, beg ging the next legislature to take the necessary steps toward making Sea- Bide Park a place of permanent en campment. So mote it be. xne iagecomoe tiuards gave an old-fashioned barbecue in camp yes terday. Quite a number of visitors were present by invitation. The boys always nave a good time at these bar becues. By the way, Sergeant H. T. Bryan, of the Edgecombe Guards, is said to be the most efficient officer of his rank in the State Guard. Mr Bryan, as well as the entire company, has added much to his already envia Die reputation. Last night there was an opera at manning s no tel. Today there is a yacht race in the banks channel. There are soldiers in camp, (a few) soldiers at the Hammocks soldiers in the ourf soldiers everywhere. There comes a company now, knap sacks,., on, going home on the next train. They look tired for this en campment has been no child's play Should there be another militiary en campment next year, and we all hope there will be, many of these bright, brave fellows will be well, wheret Well, some of them have found out that play in g soldier is not so funny after all, and have determined to quit But many visiting boys have been fascinated arid have determined to join when they get home. There were six chaplains in camp, and one or two others stopping at the. Sound, but no religious services wpre held except ton Sunday, and a part of that day even was given to dress parade, &c. Was this right? If not, who was to blame? The Wilmington papers had repre sentatives on the ground all the time, and gave good reports daily of the encampment. Two cleverer editors and gentlemen than Dr. Kingsbury and Mr. Bonitz would ke bard to find. I must not fail to mention the serenades given almost every night to the residents of Wrightsville by the soldiers. ' Such music as we lis tened to on these beautiful moonlight . i . 1 1 . evenings cannot pe lorgoiten. so the encampment of 1888 is past. Boys, you'll be some of us hope to join you next year in another similar gathering. With many regrets this scribe turns away from "Summer Rest." If there is a kinder or more hospitable hostess than Mrs. P., or more refined and genial companions than the Misses G , Messrs. E. and B., this piece of dust hasn't found them. May each of them be blessed with peace and prosperity, which they so richly deserve. Tac Convention of Democratic Tlnbe. Editor News and Observer: Our attention ia called to the fol lowing extract taken from the Greens boro Patriot : "Messrs. Editors : Will you please ask the chairman and secretaty of the central committee, located at Raleigh, why they sent out letters asking the opinion of the various Y. M. D. Clubs of the State as to the time and place for convening a meeting to organize a State Association, and then called the same at Morebead City before answers were received from but a few clubs, none of which," we are told, favored so remote a place as More head City ? Either the chairman and ;r;;ilLur'i h .central committee acted without authority though think they did right or the for Morehead City was made for special individual pleasure." Several Members Y. M. D. C. To properly place ourselves before the local clubs we will state that in the month of June, and before the Baltimore Convention of Democratic Clubs, and after consultation with the leading Democrats here, the Y. M. D. Club of Raleigh created a central committee, composed of nine, with Mr. H. W. Ayer, chairman, and Mr. H. H. Roberts as secretary, the ob ject of this committee being to con sider the question of organizing a State Association of Democratic Clubs. It held a meeting after the ses sion of the Baltimore Convention had adjourned and the vice-president for North Carolina of the National Asso ciation, who is. also a member of this committee, being present, after care ful consideration of the subject, deemed it advisable to consult with the local clubs throughout the State to ascertain the views of each as to the propriety, time and place for holding a State Convention. The re sult of this correspondence tq be re ported to a subsequent meeting of this central committee, when it would invite a conference of the North Car olina branch of a . general com mittee of the National Association, (a committee created after our central committee) and in accordance with the views of the majority of the local clubs, we would fix a date and place for the state convention. This was done advisedly, endorsed by the N. C. Vice President of the National As sociation, and a notice of our meeting with its intension the wording . of which was materially aided by him was published the next day in this paper. immediately we prepared a circu lar letter and sent it out to local clubs asking for a prompt expression Of opinion as above stated, and in good faith we awaited ; replies which promptly came, a very large majority of which favor Greensboro; some wanted Winston, others Charlotte, Asheville, Shelby, and some Raleigh one desired the Hammocks but not one Morehead City. Strong support came for the calling of a convention and strong reasons wereurged why it should be in some central or western location. While this correspondence was go ing on the N. C. Branch of the Na tional Association general committee (or a part of it) met at the Yarbo- rough House in Raleigh and peremp torily called convention at More head City for August 15, 1883. Mr. Roberts, secretary of the cen tral committee, was sent for by note of the vice-president, and attended tne meeting at tne xarooro xiouse, and thought be was acting as its sec retary until nearly the close, when he ascertained that another secretary was made, and nothing said or suggested by him (would avail ' anything. Next morning early Mr. Ayer and Mr. Roberts met, and seeing other mem bersorthe central committee ascer tained that very considerable indig nation was felt at the perfect ignor ing the labors of the central commit tee already accomplished, and a con vention called without regard to its opinion or the opinfons of local clubs. At Once we intended to frame a circular letter and send out to clubs we bad corresponded with merely to place ourselves right with them, but this newspaper inquiry into our ac tions calls for a newspaper answer. We must vindicate ourselves and maintain the dignity of our commit tee, and after consultation with those whose greatest aim is the most good to the Democratic party, we shall call a convention of locaLclub delegates. to meet at Greensboro at an early day. Very respectfully, H. W. Ayer, Chm'n. H. H. Roberts, Sec, Central Com mittee Y. M. D. O. A gPECIXES LETTER showing the Value ok the news and ousebveb as an advertising medium. Connelly Springs, N.

The most pleasant entertainment it has ever been our pleasure to attend, took place yesterday afternoon in the lovely grounds of the Salem Female Academy. By invitation of President Uiewell, the Normal School went down, where fifty or aixty ladies and gentlemen enjoyed a most delightful afternoon wandering through the charming grounds, sitting in summer houses and upon rustic seats in pleas ant nooks, and in every way enjoying themselves.! At 6 o'clock the com pany repaired to an inviting spot, where three long tables were spread, upon which all kinds of good things were placed. And such a delightful lunch! They called it aluneb, but it was a feast, and a feast that received ample justice at the hands of the company. Mrs. Clewell, the wife of the principal, was untiring in her duties as hostess and every one was made to feel at home. Dr. Bond- thaler was all smiles and politeness, having a kind and pleasant word for all, and was unremitting in his at tendance upon the guests. Mr. Clew ell received a vote of thanks from the school for giving them such an en joyable afternoon. After-dinner talks were made by Mr. Clewell, Dr. Bond- thaler and Profs. Blair, Branson and Mosea. I do not believe there is in the Southern States a more delight ful spot than the grounds of the Salem School. They contain numer ous winding and pretty walks, sum mer houses placed here and there, from which one can gaze upon a variety of attractive scenery. Rustic seats are placed in all kinds of pretty places. Splashing fountains make music for those who wish to dream. A little brook that would delight the heart of a poet winds its way through the grounds; grand old trees, some of them looking as if they might be centuries old, stand here and there, as if they were mon archs of all they surveyed. Tropical plants.oan be found, even the banana, in a flourishing state exisli j. Tame deer roam in a green pasture near by, and in fact, the place is a perfect lit tle Eden, and only poets and painters can give a proper description of it. No wonder that girls hate to leave Salem school, and there is no wonder that people love to patronize it . The State Normal School closes toi day with .appropriate and interesting exercises. l Mr. J.

M. Atherton Company, wai the first witness. The company was not ngsged in. distilling whisky but in handling the whisky of a number of firms who do the distilling business in their own names. The witness said that most of the large distillers of fine Kentucky whisky entered into an agreement by which they bound themselves to produce no whisky in the fiscal year of 1888. Some few large firms refused to sign the agree ment and there were about one nun dred and fifty small distillers who were not asked to sign the agreement which grew out of the fact that there had been a large over-production of whisky, which could not be consumed in this country and wa- exported to Europe to find a market, but no buy ers having been found much of that whiskey was coming back. In 1883 84 there was about 7,000,000 gallons produced each year; in 1885 about 10,000,000; in 1886 about 16,000,000, and in 1887 about the same quantity.

This agreement was not ini the nature of trust ;there was no con solidation of property or margin of interests. The only other organization which the witness knew of having ever existed , in the Kentucky whisky trade was. The Kentucky Distillers' Association formed about 1879. The object of this association was for the consider ation of proposed changes in the in ternal revenue laws, and technical trade affairs had 'nothing whatever to do with the production, and the only time the association took any interest in politics was when, after there had , been a large accumulation of whisky, it attempted, to get the bonded period extended.
