The suffering among the residents of Mechanicsviile. a village Of Chesterfield county, near Petersburg, Va., where reside the operatives of Swia Creek cotton factory, which closed operations several weeks ago, has become so great at an appeal for relief has been made to the County Court. lUs understood that Mr. John Am pler Smith of Virginia, but now a-re" Sl(lent nf Washington, has obtained a fa'ent for bread makingv invented by &a ld colored woman in Virginia, and that so valuable is it and so desirable 't be to all housekeepers.that he has W-ca an interest in it himself, and 'fia 0Dce an Francisco, intio .bere, and then come East with 't dispensing its benefits-as he comes.

A correspondent of Bradstreets, writ ing from' the Slate of .Texas, says the popular idea is fallacious that cotton i3 a dry weather and a sun plant, and therefore t he longer the drouth andthe higher the temperature the greater the y ield. On the contrary, says the cor respondent, all the large crops in Texas are made in years ot great rainfall in Summer.

For his famous Florida plea Webster was paid $1,000 in to $100 bills. He was engaged in study as the money was handed him, And atter giving a receipt, resumed his work. That night the money could nnt be found, nor could lhe most diligent search reveal any clue to its whereabouts. A number of years afterward Mr. Webster, turning the leaves of a book long unused, found a $100 bill. On turning the next leaf he found another, and so on suc cessively until the eptire ten - were brought to light from the place where he had absent-mindedly put them as he studied. LOCAL NEWS.

Messrs. F. M. and W. E. King, who are also to remove to Anniston with their families, expect to leave on Monday night. Fatal Accident. Mr. W. B. Gordon, a i romment con tractor and builder of -Hillsboro. Oransre county, while superintending work at the Robisell Factory at Rock inghaai yesterday, accidentally slipped from the scaffolding and was precipitat ed to the ground, by which several of his ribs were broken and his skull fractured, besides receiving severe in ternal injuries. ' He lived about four hours after the accident occurred. "The deceased was about 60 years of age and leaves a'wifo and tamily. His remains were taken to Hillsboro , last night for interment. Mr. Gordon was one of the most prominent, contractors and builders in that section of the State, having been engaged in building many of the factories at Rockingham, besides several in other localities Wilmington and Onslow Kail road. Capt. Rod McRae, the engineer who made the experimental suryey of the Wilmington and Onslow Railroad, has completed his labors and submitted his reports accompanied by the requisite maps and drawings. From the report we learn that the survey was made from the intersection of Market and Seventeenth streets to Sneed's Ferry ,on New River. The distance is 41. miles with a maximum grade of 31 feet to the mile, and at a standard gauge of 4 feet 8 inches, there would be 216,838 cubic yards of, excavation and embankment - an average of 5,225 cubic yards to the mile. At 15 cents per cubic yard the grading .would cost $783.75 per mile, making. $32,525.70. Twjo thousand cross ties to the mile, at 20cents each would be $400 per mile, or a total o $16 6Q0. Steel rails at $33 per ton, de livered, wouldj cost for the entire dis tance, $107,603.27. Spikes &c. 6. 598 50. Laying track, engineering &c, S1I.000; making a total of $174,327.27. By the construction of a narrow gauge (3 feet) the foregoing cost would be reduced to $128,190.70. : The road could be built to the mouth of Stone's Creek, in a distance of 40 miles, and by coming into Wilmington near the site ot the old Union depot, a short dis tance might be saved and the cost of construction reduced. There are, added to the map, several lines heretofore run out towards the Sound, from iwhich it appears that to include the Sound road by the old line, which runs near Hewlett's Creek and crosses Lee's Creek between the church near "Mr. Bradley's and the Seaside Park, would make the fcroad 6.J miles lougcr, and there would be a consider. ble addition to the expenses for a bridge across the creek. This branch would kost about $5,200. To cross higher would throw the line too far from Wrightsville. but a branch leaving the main line at a point lour miles from Wilmington would reach Seaside Park in three and a half mile3 and would avoid the creek altogether. This is de cidedly the most feasible, most econom ical way to reach the Sound, unless it should bo decided to build the road to tbo Sound Eepaxatelyv : t Vital Statistics. : The reporter of the Review takes exception lo some of the - strictures contained in an editorial in the Star, of r this ra orning'-s date, upon the importance of vital statistics. The article alluded to claims that the real value of vital statistics is seriously im paired by a tendency to "exaggerate everything and especially population and weather," and say3 : A town credited with 12,000 people wnen 11 nas out 10,000 or Jess so much impairs the value of health statistics as to make them practically of no utility. The real object ou?ht lo be to ascertain the true condition of a community as to health, but reporters seem to think that they must add a tenth cr twentieth to the population in order to minify the death rate. JSow," with all respect to the editor of the Star, the reporters of the . Wilming ton press are not guilty as charged. They are conservative men who taVe much pain3 to be correct in their state ments, and while they have a warm and earnest interest in the welfare. prosperity and health of the city, they take especial care not to mislead the public, whom they serve. " Should they err at all it will be rather to exaggerate the evils with which our city may bo threatened than toboa3t of au immunity from disease which it does not possess. He further savs : All the towns, with but rare excep tions, place the population at a higher ugure than tne facts justify. Now, we would respectfully inquire where the editor of the Star gets his authority for such a broad statement. Are his means for ascertaining the (nn)n11 Untn U U . P 1 . - UCllCl huau VI IUU iUUUL.S ersr or is the statement merely an as sertion witt no "facts" to sustain it? Again he says: "We do not mean to insinuate that the reporters purpose to deceive. They accept the exaggerated estimates ot the communities as to population, and then base their calculations upon the excess.' Wp should have taken the first of the above sentences as an act of considerate kindness, had it not been for the broad and damaging assertion contained in the latter. We beg to.teli the editor of the Star that he is mistaken when he makes such an assertion, as be very frequently is in other matters, for the reporters do not take any report with out some guarantee that it is correct. It is not any easy matter, at all times, to get at the facts in a case, and the re porters are frequently put to much la bor, inconvenience and'trouble to glean from a large amount of rumor the plain facts in the matter. It is the pride and a point of honor with reporters to give Again he says : We believe the .calculations for Ral eigh, Charlotte ad Wilmington are based pa too much supposed population. We are glad that ho makes the above statement as a matter of belief, for be lief implies a doubt of its correctness on the part of the writer of the same. So far as Kaieigu anu unariotie are ooncerned we have nothing to sav, for he reason that we have not paid anv attention to the sta'istics regarding those cities. It is a matter of which the able pres3 reporters of those two cities can take into consideration or not. But we do claim that the report ers of Wilmington have not overesti mated the population of this "city. Wo claim a population of about 20,000, based Dartly upon the census of 1880 and partly upon other indices more patent to reporters than they would be apt to bs to the editor in chief of a daily Darjer The census of 1870 gave the aopniatioa of Wilmingtou as 13.446 in 1880 it was 17,350, a gain in the ten years of 3,904, averaging a fraction more than ?90 a year. It is thought by .con servative men. among them some of those who were engaged in taking the last census, that the population given was far below the uumber actually re sident in the city. Whether this is so or not. we do not pretend to say , but taking the ratio of increase for the ten years named a3 a basis' for the four years since 1880 and we have a popula tion of 18,910. We think the increase during tne last tour years has been much larger thah that and one of the reasons why we think so lies in the fact that during the year ended June, 1884, there were 173 dwelling houses erected in the citv. Of this number 37 were erected South of Castle street; 46 be tween Castle and Market streets ; 43 betwecnJMarket and Campbell streets and 52 North of Campbell street. This J would hot be of great significance in itself, but coupled with the fact that there are but few empty tenements and that rents are materially on the increase it goes to show that the population of Wilmington is booming,' Fullest assortment ol Fishing Tack la coa b3 found at Jacobi's, t A Desperado. At about 11 o'clock , last night, be tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, on Princess, two colored women en gaged in a quarre?, ; Two colored men on their way home, heard the disturb ance and stopped to sec if 'they could learn who the parlies "were. While they were wailing, two other colored women came along and separated those who were quarrelling. Alter they had separated one 01 too women went up Princess street, when a colored man , who had been standing under the lamp- post wiiu a gun on nis snouiuer,- start ed out and with many oaths, wanted 16 know who the woman was who had given away his sister and that he would shoot her d-n-d head off, and started up Princess street in pursuit. The two first named colored men, who lived in the same direction, started for theiri homes, when the ruffian iurned upen them, and threatened to kill them if they followed him another step, and then went ; along. He soon returned and, in a cursing, boasting and threatening manner said that he was Pompey bneed. V This outlaw has been loafing about that immediate locality for several days, and at about 10 o'clock this fore noon he went into a dwelling house on Mr. J. W. Barnes' plantation, just out side the city, and took all the provisions he wanted. The people in i that section are in danger and are consequently seriously alarmed for their; safety. . Political Straws. A colored excursion, numbering about 100, came down froni Pt. Caswell and intermediate landings on the John Dawsont and headed by a band consisting of a big drum and a little drum paraded through some of our principal streets in alt the "glory of their race..
